"Let's go, it's getting late, don't stay out too late."
Lu Huaijiao escorted them to the courtyard gate and watched them leave before reaching out to close the door.
A large hand quickly covered the back of her hand first.
His broad, warm hand grasped hers, completely enveloping it.
"Comrade Lu Huaijiao, where are we going now?"
A man's voice sounded above her head. Lu Huaijiao looked up, puzzled, at the man beside her, wondering what he was up to now.
Gu Changzheng smiled and kissed her hand.
"Didn't my darling want to experience what it's like to be in a relationship?"
He had just overheard his wife talking to Niu Fangfang, so he had a sudden inspiration and decided to talk to her in that same tone, to let her experience what it's like to be in a relationship.
Lu Huaijiao pouted.
I won't play this game with him.
What did you say to Brother Xiang?
The couple closed the door and walked hand in hand into the house.
As they walked, Lu Huaijiao asked questions.
Gu Changzheng was a little sad: "Baby, don't you want to be in a relationship?"
To be honest, he really wants to.
Lu Huaijiao pulled her hand away and pinched the man's cheek: "Don't you want to think about it now that you already have three children? Isn't it a little too late to say that now?"
"Hmm... It's my fault. I didn't leave my wife with a beautiful memory."
"What can we do? After all, your IQ is what it is, isn't it?"
"Hmm? My wife thinks your husband is too smart?"
What do you think?
The couple, chatting and joking, crossed the yard and entered the house. Seeing the three children playing inside, and the parents with kind smiles on their faces, the same thought simultaneously popped into their minds.
They have to work hard so that their parents and children can smile.
The Gu family lived in harmony, with laughter and cheerful voices frequently heard.
Niu Fangfang and Xiang Dongcheng, having left the Gu family, slowly made their way home.
The evening wind was much colder than the midday wind. Niu Fangfang was wearing a thick coat, cotton pants, and cotton shoes. She had a thick scarf around her neck, a hat covering her head, and the scarf covering half of her face, leaving only her big eyes showing.
Her double eyelids were very prominent, and her eyes were clear and bright, with a lively and expressive look.
She rode her bicycle to a spot inside, close to the wall.
Xiang Dongcheng, wearing a gray woolen overcoat, rode his bicycle to a spot near the river. He controlled his speed, keeping pace with Niu Fangfang's bicycle.
This way, he can use his body to block the wind blowing up from the river.
Of course, if he could, Xiang Dongcheng would definitely want to use his body to bring warmth to Niu Fangfang, but isn't now the right time?
For the time being, he could only stay by her side and stay with her.
The two remained silent for a while, saying very little.
However, the atmosphere was not awkward.
Even without speaking, the atmosphere between them was very harmonious, giving off an inexplicable feeling of an old married couple. Niu Fangfang was amused by her own thoughts and looked up at the man on her left.
She had only intended to steal a glance, but instead, she met his deep, smiling eyes.
Niu Fangfang's heart skipped a beat, as if she had been burned, and she immediately looked away.
Soon, Xiang Dongcheng's smiling voice rang in my ears.
"What's wrong with Fangfang? If you want to look, then look. I'm not going to charge you any money."
Niu Fangfang: ...
He glanced at me twice, and he wanted to charge me?
She thought for a moment, then looked up and glared at him.
Those bright, lively eyes were incredibly charming.
Xiang Dongcheng was not scared at all; in fact, he thought his little girlfriend was cute and fierce.
"Fang'er..."
His voice was a little hoarse.
Just as I was about to say something, Niu Zhenghui's voice came from the other side.
"sister?"
Niu Fangfang and Xiang Dongcheng looked up and saw Niu Zhenghui riding a bicycle, hurrying towards them.
When he got close enough to be about a meter or two away, Niu Zhenghui stopped his bicycle.
"It really is you! I thought I was seeing things."
"Huh? What are you doing here?"
Niu Fangfang was a little confused and asked blankly.
Niu Zhenghui: "I've come to pick you up. After you took Sister Huaijiao home, you didn't come back for a long time, so your aunt said you must have eaten at Sister Huaijiao's house. Your grandma and my mom asked me to come and pick you up."
Because they were worried about Niu Fangfang's safety if she went home late alone, her family sent Niu Zhenghui to pick her up.
Niu Fangfang understood why Niu Zhenghui was there, and she nodded.
"Fangfang..."
After waiting for a while, it seemed that Niu Fangfang hadn't introduced Xiang Dongcheng to her future brother-in-law, so she had to speak up and make her presence known.
He stared longingly at Niu Fangfang, asking someone to introduce them.
The brother and sister who were speaking looked at Xiang Dongcheng together, and then they both remembered that there was another person here besides them.
Niu Fangfang opened her mouth, thinking about how to introduce Xiang Dongcheng, but Niu Zhenghui, after glancing at Xiang Dongcheng a few times, suddenly exclaimed, "Ah, are you Brother Dongcheng?"
"I am Xiang Dongcheng. Do you know me, little brother?"
Xiang Dongcheng had a smile on his face, and he couldn't have been more amiable.
Niu Fangfang secretly curled her lip; older men always knew how to cultivate a good image in front of others.
Unaware of the two men she was secretly criticizing, they were having a very pleasant conversation.
In just a few words, they became inseparable best friends, patting each other on the shoulder and addressing each other as brothers.
Oh, no, we were just calling each other brothers a moment ago, but that was just on the surface. Now we're truly treating each other like real brothers.
Niu Fangfang was surprised by the strange friendship that had developed between the men.
Niu Zhenghui patted his chest and assured him, "Brother, don't worry. When you come to propose, I will definitely work on my uncle and aunt to persuade them to ask for as little dowry as possible so that my sister can marry you."
Niu Fangfang: ? ? ?
I thank you?
Xiang Dongcheng loves his sensible brother-in-law the most.
"Then I'll leave it to Xiaohui. Next time you go out to play, just say my name and that you're my brother-in-law. They won't cause any trouble."
Niu Zhenghui opened a billiards room in Dongcheng, and he would occasionally go there with his friends to play.
It was because of this that Niu Zhenghui met Xiang Dongcheng and remembered this boss brother who had excellent ball skills.
Men often admire those who are strong, and Niu Zhenghui was no exception. He idolized Xiang Dongcheng to the point of worship.
It's just that idol worship wasn't popular in this era; otherwise, Niu Zhenghui would definitely be Xiang Dongcheng's number one fan.
Now that his number one fan has learned that the person he idolizes is actually his sister's boyfriend, he's definitely going to support them being together with both hands and feet!
Niu Fangfang: ...
