"Good boy!" Guo Lili patted their heads.
“My mom is a good person. If she’s naughty sometimes, don’t get angry. Just talk to her nicely. My mom is very reasonable.”
Chaochao followed up with a comment, knowing what Hehe wanted to ask.
"..."
"Your mother is very smart. She is good at her studies at school and she is also good-looking. Everyone likes her very much."
Guo Lili and Cheng Qing understood; the two children were afraid that their mother would be bullied at school.
They're so well-behaved; I want to steal them and take them home.
"I knew it. My mom is so nice, it's normal for everyone to like her. But aunties can like her, but uncles can't."
"Aunt Lili, Aunt Qingqing, if you encounter any bad people, tell them that my mom has a dad and two good babies."
The two thought about it and realized that everything else was fine, but this was their biggest worry.
"..."
Guo Lili and Cheng Qing fell silent. Were these two children really not even three years old?
Look how sweet their mouths are! Just a moment ago they were calling them Aunt Guo and Aunt Cheng, and now they've become Aunt Lili and Aunt Qingqing.
They're being so affectionate; it wouldn't be appropriate for them to refuse.
"Don't worry, we'll keep an eye on those bad guys for you. You're all so cute, your mom loves you the most."
Guo Lili wanted to laugh; how could this child be so smart?
"Thank you, Auntie." This time, Chaochao and Hehe expressed their gratitude more sincerely, and only then did they feel at ease playing with their toys together.
Suti helped her grandmother and the family's nanny cook dinner, and then showed them around her home.
When Li Baichuan returned at noon, Cheng Qing's eyes lit up, even though she had been having a great time.
Guo Lili wasn't curious; she knew people too well. She had seen Li Baichuan's transformation from his silent demeanor in Yangliu Brigade to his completely changed state.
She wasn't particularly curious, but Cheng Qing was different.
"Why are you back? Isn't work busy?" Su Ti was also surprised to see him. She knew that the period after the New Year was the busiest time for the transportation department.
"Sister-in-law, I'm here too." Before Li Baichuan could speak, Biancheng jumped out from behind and greeted him familiarly.
"I'm back to be with you." Li Baichuan leaned closer to his wife and whispered his reply. Actually, he mainly wanted to meet his wife's good friend.
He must have a good relationship with his wife since he brought her home. He knows Guo Lili, and there's another one he hasn't met yet.
He needs to behave well and not embarrass his wife.
Suti glared at the man, while Biancheng had already rushed in to find Chaochao Hehe.
He often came and didn't know what restraint meant, and he was extremely familiar with Chaochao Hehe.
When Suti entered the house, she saw that everyone was sitting quietly, and she secretly raised her eyebrows.
What's wrong? I can understand Guo Lili and Cheng Qing's discomfort, but why is it Cheng's? Is he shy because he's seeing a strange woman?
But she had also seen him talk to other women; he was a smooth talker who never let the conversation go cold.
He suddenly became quiet today, looking shy. Suti glanced at his eyes and understood.
"Let me introduce you. This is my husband, Li Baichuan, and that's his friend, Bian Cheng."
"These are my classmates, her name is Guo Lili and her name is Cheng Qing."
Suti acted as an intermediary and introduced them to each other.
Guo Lili was fine; they were too familiar with each other, so she just nodded as a greeting.
Cheng Qing called out to someone, looking at Li Baichuan with a face full of curiosity. This man was Su Ti's husband.
He's really tall and looks very energetic, but he looks a bit serious and doesn't seem like a good person. So Suti likes this kind of person?
There must be some hidden strengths she hasn't discovered yet. Cheng Qing watched Li Baichuan's every move intently.
She just wanted to discover something with her sharp eyes to satisfy her curiosity, and she had long since ignored the border town over there.
Su Ti found it amusing that Bian Cheng's eyes were almost fixed on Cheng Qing. So Bian Cheng liked this kind of person?
Suti knows the border town very well; she knows everything about his family. If fate brings them together, he and Cheng Qing would be a good match.
But she doesn't like being a matchmaker; if she's interested, she'll pursue him herself. She believes that matters of the heart are best left unattended.
Chaochao and Hehe didn't know why the house had become inexplicably quiet when their father came home, but they still warmly welcomed people.
With Chao Chao and He He present at the dinner table, the atmosphere became less awkward. After the meal, Li Baichuan was about to return to work when Biancheng lingered, reluctant to leave.
"Um... will you come to your sister-in-law's house again next time?" Biancheng saw that Chuan Ge was anxious, and in a moment of impulsiveness, he rushed in front of Cheng Qing.
"Huh?" Cheng Qing was squatting there watching Chao Chao and He He assemble those toy guns when she was stunned by Bian Cheng's question.
She seemed a beat slow to react; she knew this person worked at the same company as Suti's husband and had come to eat together.
But it had nothing to do with her. They hadn't spoken after exchanging greetings, so she was quite surprised when he suddenly came over and asked her that question.
Seeing his red face and thick neck, she belatedly realized what was going on, and her eyes lit up.
"You're asking me? How old are you this year?" Cheng Qing realized that this person actually had a crush on her.
"Huh? I'm twenty-four." Bian Cheng thought for a moment. Did this girl care about her age? She did look quite young. Was he too old?
His sister-in-law's classmate must be at least seventeen or eighteen, right? That doesn't count as young. Thinking this, he felt more confident.
"What a coincidence, I'm also twenty-four years old, I really am twenty-four." Cheng Qing looked into his eyes, afraid that he wouldn't believe her.
"Really? That's quite a coincidence. Are you also from Beijing? I work at the Ministry of Transportation, just like Brother Chuan, and I live in the steel rolling mill's staff quarters."
“My father is the director of a steel rolling mill, and my mother is the production director of a cotton mill. I am the only child in the family.”
"I don't have a boyfriend yet, what about you?" Biancheng had never flaunted his family background in the past.
But he lacked confidence in front of the girl he liked.
She and her sister-in-law were classmates, both students at Peking University. He couldn't wait to list all his strengths and point out every advantage he could.
This girl must also have feelings for him, otherwise she wouldn't have been so excited just now, and even took the initiative to tell him her age.
“My family is also from Beijing. My father works in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, my mother works in a hospital, and I have an older brother in the military.”
"I don't have a boyfriend either, and I'm really twenty-four years old." After listening to his self-introduction, Cheng Qing thought for a moment and then told him about her family situation.
She emphasized again that she was twenty-four years old this year, just in case he thought she was lying, or that he was treating her like a child.
