"This is very suitable, there is no problem, it's very good, you made a good choice." After taking a look, Xiao Shanhe praised it several times.

Shen Huanxi breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that she didn't understand a lot of the current information clearly enough. After getting Xiao Shanhe's affirmation, she felt relieved.

"What does the credit union say? Can I get the loan?" This was the second question she was concerned about.

"I went there today, and Director Li, who is in charge of loan business, was not there. But after asking other people, I found out that there shouldn't be any problem. You've been going to the credit union to deposit money every day these days, so the turnover is sufficient.

We still need to get a better understanding of this quarry. Just seeing that there are ten trucks is far from enough. The various parameters of the trucks are not available in the bidding information. We decided to bid on a temporary basis, and we can learn about these from our competitors.

As long as we know who else has taken a fancy to this project, we can get a rough idea of ​​how much the trucks in this quarry can carry.”

"The one I know is Su Liming, Lan Linxiang's current husband, and the other is Luo Bo, Jiang Xiaomei's husband...

They are both big businessmen in Yunnan and have good vision. They said that the trucks in this quarry are enough for us. No matter how big my factory is, it is not as big as theirs.

Even if they both like this quarry, there will probably be more people who will like it, and we will have a lot of competitors." Shen Huanxi sighed slightly.

Xiao Shanhe felt relieved when he heard her say that.

"The fact that they are interested in this project shows that the quarry has enough trucks. It is normal to have many competitors. The projects that you are interested in must be good ones. Now we just need to know whether the transportation capacity of the trucks in this quarry is enough for us.

There is no need to think too much about competitors. If we really want to win this project, we can start with Director Chen who is in charge of this project at the Investment Promotion Bureau."

"How do you know that the person in charge of this project is Director Chen?" Shen Huanxi was a little surprised.

In this day and age, it is very common to use backdoors. If you want to get something done, giving gifts and making arrangements are essential. Especially if you want to do something big, you have to take care of all aspects before it can be done. So she thinks Xiao Shanhe's idea is right.

I just don’t understand how Xiao Shanhe knew the person in charge of this project when he didn’t even go to the Investment Promotion Bureau with her.

"There are four directors in the Investment Promotion Bureau who are in charge of bidding projects. There are four urban districts in Yunnan City, and the four directors are in charge of one urban district respectively. The director in charge of the urban district where the quarry is located is Director Chen."

"So that's how it is." Shen Huanxi suddenly realized.

"Shanhe, I think this matter is a bit difficult. This Chen Shuisheng happens to be Luo Bo's childhood friend who wore the same pants as me. Not to mention who the other people competing with me are, just based on this point, it is difficult for me to defeat Luo Bo alone.

In addition, Shen Yougui, the deputy director of the Investment Promotion Bureau, also has a close relationship with Su Liming. He was able to work in the Investment Promotion Bureau thanks to the help of Su Liming's father. It can be said that without Su Liming's father, he would not be where he is today.

I don't care who my other competitors are now. When I look at Luo Bo and Su Liming, it's hard for me to compete with them."

"How do you know all this?" Xiao Shanhe was a little surprised.

Shen Huanxi paused. She knew all this in her previous life. In her previous life, she was Lan Linxiang's sister-in-law, Su Chaoyang's wife, and Su Liming's sister-in-law. Naturally, she knew the most about the Su family's affairs, and therefore knew everything about Shen Yougui.

"I found out about it when I just came out of the Investment Promotion Bureau. A lot of people were discussing it." Shen Huanxi made up a random excuse that was also tenable.

"I know Shen Yougui respects Su Liming's father very much. Now that the old man of the Su family is still alive, it is almost a matter of a word from the old man of the Su family for Su Liming to get this project.

Although you said that we can just start with the Investment Promotion Bureau, we still cannot let our guard down when there are two competitors with such a close relationship. We cannot just focus on dealing with the Investment Promotion Bureau. We have to think of a targeted approach and see how to deal with Luo Bo and Su Liming."

"You mean, you want to start with the director of the Investment Promotion Bureau? Su Liming's family has done the deputy director a favor. If you can overthrow Su Liming and the deputy director, you can only rely on the director to take action." Xiao Shanhe looked at Shen Huanxi.

Shen Huanxi was somewhat moved.

Su Liming's family has done a favor to the deputy director of the Investment Promotion Bureau. The fact is there. Anyone who thinks of this will think that this project will definitely belong to Su Liming. Perhaps many people who know this will back off.

However, Xiao Shanhe believed that she would not back down, and he also felt that she wanted to start with the director, which was a great trust.

Shen Huanxi has always been confident in himself, but the feeling of being trusted by others is somewhat different from believing in oneself.

"We have to deal with the director, because the director and Director Chen are coincidentally related. Chen Shuisheng has to call Director Liao of the Investment Promotion Bureau his cousin.

But now Director Liao has gone to the capital to study in a closed environment. It is said that he will not be back for another month, but he may come back earlier.

So we now have two tough bones to chew. The deputy director is needless to say. Chen Shuisheng has the director behind him, so we can't let our guard down. In short, we have to take care of both sides. We don't know whether the director has returned during the period from the opening of the project to the announcement of the results. "

"Yes." Xiao Shanhe nodded, "I will do my best to help you."

"Well, I'll call you when I need you!" Shen Huanxi said confidently, "It's this Chen Shuisheng, do you know him?"

"What do you mean?"

"It's this person... I always feel that his name sounds familiar, as if I have heard it somewhere. In addition to being the project director of the Investment Promotion Bureau, what else has he done?" This is the question that Shen Huanxi has been thinking about since he saw the notice board today.

She must have heard this name somewhere in her previous life, but now she couldn't remember it at all.

The deputy director has close ties with Su Liming. As Su Liming's sister-in-law in her previous life, Shen Huanxi also knows the deputy director well. However, she really has no way to understand Chen Shuisheng.

"I will help you check and get all his information clearly. I will also find out the deputy director's information." Xiao Shanhe said.

It seems that he doesn't know either.

Shen Huanxi didn't ask any further questions. There are so many people in this world, and everyone meets so many people every day. It's definitely not possible to know the identity of every stranger. It's good enough that Xiao Shanhe could help her check.

Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. If she wants to win this project, she naturally has to get to know the people related to this project clearly.

She also didn't know who her competitors were besides Luo Bo and Su Liming, so she didn't look for her competitors one by one. Instead, she started directly with the leaders in charge of the project and focused on dealing with Luo Bo and Su Liming.

"It will take time to check these things, and it will also take time for us to deal with those people. Now we have to write the bid first. I will help you write it."

"Let's write together." Shen Huanxi said.

She couldn't have imagined that Xiao Shanhe, a future scientific research giant, was so knowledgeable about commercial bidding documents and immediately offered to help her write one.

It’s not that she didn’t trust Xiao Shanhe. Even if she gave the bid to him alone to write, she was very confident that he could do a good job. She just didn’t want him to work hard alone.

Just by seeing the man's firm and serious look, Shen Huanxi felt a sense of equal strength.

In her previous life, both of her marriages were with the woman being stronger than the man. Both her first and second husbands only held her back and were lucky enough not to cause trouble for her, let alone help her.

She is quite satisfied with her husband who came to her out of nowhere in this life.

When the two of them came out of the study, they saw Xiao Yutang coming back from outside with his younger brother and sister.

Shen Huanxi felt that having Xiao Yutang as her eldest son really made her less worried. She didn't feel at all that she had an extra child to take care of. Instead, she felt that she had an extra helper. So she had to treat Xiao Yutang better in the future.

"Mom, is there anything else you need to do today? I can help with washing clothes, cleaning the house, folding clothes, mopping the floor, and helping you organize books. I can do all of that." Xiao Yuzheng ran over and said, pulling Shen Huanxi's sleeve.

Shen Huanxi was a little confused.

Xiao Yuzheng was a sensible kid, and he never caused her any trouble. But because he was young, he had never done any housework at home. Now, he just came back from playing outside and suddenly asked her if she needed any help. Shen Huanxi found it a little strange.

"Zhengzheng, why do you suddenly want to help your mother?" Shen Huanxi asked.

"I didn't suddenly want to help my mother, I have always wanted to help her. I want to be my mother's jacket! I was very small before, and now I am growing up day by day, so I want to help my mother!" Xiao Yuzheng said seriously.

Shen Huanxi still felt that it was a bit strange that the children suddenly said these things just after coming back from outside, but she did not think much about it. After all, Xiao Yutang and Xiao Yuzheng were usually very sensible.

"Mom doesn't need your help with anything. If you want to help, you have to grow up a little more," she said gently.

"Mom, we helped you fold clothes yesterday. Why don't we bring Zhengzheng along today and teach him how to fold clothes? Zhengzheng really wants to help." Chang'an said.

Shen Huanxi nodded.

"Okay, then go and collect the clothes in the yard. Collect the ones washed yesterday. Don't collect the ones washed today because they are not dry yet. Sort them into categories and stack them neatly." Shen Huanxi saw that her daughter had taken the initiative to bring it up, and seeing Xiao Yu's enthusiastic look, she felt it was difficult to refuse the children.

She and Zhang Guifen went to the kitchen to cook. Before they finished, the children came in and said they had folded their clothes.

He followed her closely, as if he was afraid that she would fly away. He even sat next to her when eating and kept picking up food for her.

"Zhengzheng, you can't just focus on picking up vegetables for your mother, you have to eat more too. Only by eating more vegetables can you grow taller." Shen Huanxi saw that the child was only focused on picking up vegetables for her and didn't even eat a few bites herself, so she picked up a piece of vegetables for Xiao Yuzheng with her chopsticks and a piece of braised pork.

Xiao Yuzheng ate the vegetables obediently, took only a small bite of the braised pork, and then put the big piece of braised pork into Shen Huanxi's bowl.

"Mom, you eat it. I don't like it."

Shen Huanxi was confused and wanted to laugh when he saw the child's expression.

She didn't know what was wrong with Xiao Yuzheng today. He used to be a clingy kid, but today he became even more clingy.

And what do you mean he doesn't like it? Is his family so poor that they can't even afford braised pork?

"Then Mom, you should eat this piece too. We made a lot of braised pork today, and I can't finish it all by myself. Everyone of us should eat two pieces to finish it, otherwise it will be wasted." Shen Huanxi said.

Only then did Xiao Yuzheng nod and start eating the braised pork.

That afternoon, Shen Huanxi went out again to inquire about Chen Shuisheng. She still felt that the name Chen Shuisheng was too familiar, and she would be unwilling if she didn't find out something.

Unfortunately, after asking around for a long time, I found out almost nothing except that Chen Shuisheng was the project director of the Investment Promotion Bureau and that Chen Shuisheng and Luo Bo grew up together.

Xiao Shanhe was helping her investigate, but unfortunately there was no result.

If we have to find out something, it is that many bosses who came to see the project gave up the quarry after knowing that Luo Bo was interested in this project and the relationship between Chen Shuisheng and Luo Bo.

Some others also gave up after finding out about the backgrounds of Su Liming's family and the deputy director.

Everyone says that with Su Liming and Luo Bo here, who would be a fool to choose this project?

Shen Huanxi wanted to say that she had taken a fancy to him and would not give up. However, it was enough for her to know this in her heart, and there was no need for her to tell others.

When I got home, the children had already returned from the Children's Palace, and Xiao Yu was sweeping the yard with a broom.

The child was only three years old and not even as tall as a broom, but he looked both adorable and pitiful while sweeping the floor. Xiao Yutang was washing the pot, while Chang'an and Changning were wiping the windows at home.

"What's going on today? A sudden cleanup?" she asked.

"No big cleaning! Mom must be very tired recently, so we will do whatever chores there are at home. As long as we finish all the chores at home, Mom won't have to do it!" Xiao Yu said seriously while sweeping up a few sparse fallen leaves.

"My younger brother is not even four years old and he's already helping out at home. We, as his sisters, can't just sit there and do nothing. We can't be worse than him." Chang'an said and Changning nodded.

"I'm the older brother, I can't just sit there and watch my younger brothers and sisters work," Xiao Yutang also said.

Shen Huanxi understood now. It seemed that this big cleaning was started by Xiao Yuzheng. Xiao Yuzheng brought his brothers and sisters to share the housework. What's wrong with this kid today?

While cooking with Zhang Guifen, Shen Huanxi expressed his concerns.

"Mom, why do I feel like Zheng Zheng is trying hard to please me today? He is less than four years old, but look at him today, he is like a little adult, and he is so cautious with me."

Zhang Guifen couldn't help laughing after hearing what Shen Huanxi said.

"He's not being cautious, he's respecting you. Isn't it a good thing that he's treating you well? There are so many stepmothers and stepchildren whose relationships are not harmonious. He's treating you so well, you should be happy."

"No, mother." Shen Huanxi shook her head. "I feel like he is trying to please me. He is trying to please me because he feels insecure. He seems to be afraid that I will ignore him. I am very worried and distressed about him. I hope he can relax a little and not worry about this or that, especially not worrying that I don't want him."

"You think too much, Huanxi. You don't have to worry. How can a child have so many thoughts? You think too highly of him. He is not even four years old. And he is worried that you don't want him. Isn't this a good thing? It means that he recognizes you from the bottom of his heart and wants you as his mother. You should be happy."

"Of course I'm happy that he wants me as his mother, but mom, I really don't want my child to live in worry all the time. I hope Zheng Zheng can be happy because he has me as his mother."

"Oh..." Zhang Guifen couldn't help laughing when she heard Shen Huanxi say this.

"Huanxi, just because you care so much about Zhengzheng and are so worried about him now, you deserve him to worry about you not wanting him. Because he really likes you.

Anyway, it's not a bad thing that your child is good to you, you should be happy, why do you still think so much, I, as the grandmother, am not worried, but you, as the stepmother, are worried. Hey, this noodle has been cooked too long, hurry up and pick it up!" Zhang Guifen said, pointing to the noodles in the pot.

Shen Huanxi took a quick look at the boiling water and quickly took the large colander and chopsticks to scoop the noodles.

Zhang Guifen didn't understand her worries, so she didn't say anything more.

I am still very worried.

Could it be that...

Shen Huanxi suddenly guessed something.

Zheng Zheng used to be very unrestrained in front of her and very clingy to her, just like a child's reaction towards his own mother. He liked her and depended on her, but was never afraid that she would leave him.

Now he is suddenly scared. Does he already know that she is not his biological mother?

Shen Huanxi was still worried about this matter before, worried that Zhengzheng would not be able to accept the truth when he knew it, but she didn't expect that Zhengzheng might have already known the truth...

Zhang Guifen said that the child was still young and didn't have so many thoughts, but this statement didn't hold water in Shen Huanxi's heart.

If he were a child from an ordinary family, at Xiao Yuzheng's age, he really wouldn't have so many things to worry about.

But don’t forget that Xiao Yuzheng’s family has experienced so many major changes since he was a child. First, his father was injured at work and couldn’t stand up. Then his parents divorced...

Even though he no longer remembers these things, these changes must have had some impact on his young mind, so it is normal for children from a family like his to have more concerns.

Of course, Shen Huanxi was just thinking about it in her heart. She would not say it in front of Zhang Guifen, because she knew that even if she said it, Zhang Guifen would say that she was overthinking it.

"Children, wash your hands quickly, put down what you are doing and come over to eat noodles. The brined noodles I made today have your favorite bean paste added to the brined noodles." Shen Huanxi also picked up the noodles, and when he saw that Zhang Guifen had also prepared the brined noodles, he shouted outside.

"Okay!" the children answered in unison, washed their hands and ran in to eat noodles.

Xiao Yuzheng was still holding the bowl, sticking to Shen Huanxi.

"Mom! You worked so hard to give birth to me and raise me. I must be obedient and eat more noodles! I want to grow taller so that I can protect you, the mom who gave birth to me and raised me!" Xiao Yuzheng shouted as soon as he sat next to Shen Huanxi.

He knew that Shen Huanxi was not his biological mother, but he felt happy when he knew that it was Shen Huanxi who gave birth to him and raised him.

Shen Huanxi touched his head and kissed him on the forehead, feeling mixed emotions.

It seems that this child doesn't know that he is not her biological child, and he still says that she gave birth to him and raised him. So is there another reason for his flattery today? Or is it just like what Zhang Guifen said, that she is overthinking it.

"Okay, then you should eat more noodles, grow taller, and take good care of your mother in the future. You must also take good care of your two sisters. You are a man, and to be a responsible man, you must protect your sisters." Shen Huanxi said, not forgetting to mention Chang'an and Changning.

She is so nice to Edwin Siu and Edwin Siu Ching, isn't it largely because she hopes there will be two more people in this world who will be nice to her two daughters?

"Okay, I will definitely be nice to mom and sister!" Xiao Yuzheng said seriously.

But now he still looks like a little man with a strong sense of responsibility. But he would fail again before going to bed at night and return to the behavior of a three or four-year-old child.

"I want to sleep with mommy tonight. I don't care. I want to sleep with mommy. Mommy, you have to sleep with Zhengzheng! Let Zhengzheng sleep with you, okay?" After taking a shower, Xiao Yuzheng came over and hugged Shen Huanxi's arm, acting coquettishly and refusing to let go.

"Zhengzheng, stop kidding. How old are you? Why do you still want to sleep with your mother? Wasn't it fine for you to sleep with your brother before?" Zhang Guifen was worried when she saw Xiao Yuzheng's look.

Xiao Yuzheng didn't do anything and still held Shen Huanxi's arm tightly.

"I don't want it. I don't care. I want to sleep with my mom tonight. If I don't sleep with my mom, I won't be able to sleep!"

"Zhengzheng, don't be so ignorant. Didn't you sleep well when you slept with me before? You are almost four years old now. Can you please stop being so clingy?" Xiao Yutang said as he went over and grabbed Xiao Yuzheng's arm.

Today, Xiao Yuzheng's behavior is very different from usual. Others don't know the reason, or don't think about it carefully, but he knows it very well.

Xiao Yu was trying to please Shen Huanxi and stick to her, so he didn't say anything. But now this guy is going too far and actually wants to sleep with Shen Huanxi.

He knew that Xiao Yu just wanted to stick to Shen Huanxi as long as possible, but he went so far, what if Shen Huanxi got tired of him?

"Brother, don't worry about me. But I want to sleep with mommy tonight, wuwuwuwuwu..." Xiao Yuzheng was hurt by Xiao Yutang's grab. Finally, he couldn't hold it back and cried loudly.

Shen Huanxi was so frightened that he quickly squatted down and picked up the child.

"Okay, Zhengzheng, stop crying, okay? Mommy will sleep with you tonight."

"Mom..."

"It's okay, Tangtang." Shen Huanxi smiled at him, "Zhengzheng is still young, let him sleep with me."

"I also want daddy to sleep with me. I want to sleep with mom and dad! Daddy, you have to sleep with me, sleep with me and mom, I want it! Wuuuuuuuuuuu..." Xiao Yu was hugging Shen Huanxi's neck and started crying in Shen Huanxi's arms.

Shen Huanxi suddenly felt his back straighten and his body stiffened.

Xiao Yuzheng cried even louder.

Now not only Shen Huanxi was nervous, but even Xiao Yutang was nervous.

Xiao Yuzheng told him today that he hoped that the current mother and their father would not divorce.

Before their ex-mother and father divorced, they slept in separate rooms for a long time. As far as Xiao Yuzheng can remember, they have never slept in the same room.

Therefore, Xiao Yuzheng thinks that if a couple does not sleep in the same room, they will definitely get divorced.

He did this because he didn't want to see his current mom and dad get divorced, right?

Xiao Yu was crying in Shen Huanxi's arms, crying louder and louder, and kept yelling for Xiao Shanhe and Shen Huanxi to sleep with him.

Zhang Guifen smiled slightly and said nothing. Xiao Shanhe sat behind Shen Huanxi. Shen Huanxi couldn't see his expression. He only saw Xiao Yu was crying and shaking.

"Zhengzheng, isn't it enough for mommy to sleep with you alone? Why do you want daddy to sleep with you? You have to be a brave boy. Now you don't dare to sleep with your brother, so mommy will sleep with you. But if mommy is already with you and you still want daddy, then you are too childish." Shen Huanxi felt her face getting hot. She didn't know what to say, so she just coaxed Xiao Yuzheng.

Xiao Yuzheng, on the other hand, was shaking his head like a wave drum.

"I don't want it! I don't care! I want mom and dad to sleep with me. I want to sleep in mom's room. I want mom and dad to accompany me. I want dad to accompany me too. It won't work if only mom is with me! I don't care, I don't care, wuwuwuwuwu..."

"Zheng Zheng, what's going on today? You didn't like to make trouble so much before." Chang Ning said with some confusion. The little girl really didn't understand. As soon as she finished speaking, she was pulled by Chang An.

Chang'an used his eyes to signal her not to speak. Changning still didn't understand, but she didn't say anything else.

Xiao Yutang was extremely anxious, he knew that his younger brother was too young and could not be as calm as he was. He would definitely cause trouble, after all, he was only three or four years old.

A child of three or four years old is only thinking about how to stay with his mother and how to prevent his parents from getting divorced. How could he have the idea to consider so many things?

"Mom, when Zheng was sleeping with me last night, he dreamed of a monster catching him. He was very scared and woke up. He cried and shouted for his mom. I coaxed him into silence. Maybe it's because of this reason that he doesn't dare to sleep alone now." Xiao Yutang made up a story to explain. He didn't want Shen Huanxi to think that Xiao Yu was being unreasonable.

Xiao Yuzheng was crying so hard that there was no way to explain it.

"Since the child is so scared, you two should sleep together with him. You two are husband and wife and have been married for so long. It would be inappropriate if you don't sleep together. Your child is crying like this. If you can't comfort him, people may think that Huanxi is abusing him, and that will be bad for Huanxi's reputation." Zhang Guifen said seriously.

"Okay, Huanxi, I'll sleep with you. No matter what, you can't let others misunderstand you or make up stories about you. You want to do business, and now is the rising stage of your career. You also have to bid for that quarry. At this time, no matter what happens, it will have a great impact on you. What if someone makes up stories about you because of this matter, and the rumors are passed to the Investment Promotion Bureau, it will be very bad for you.

We are still purchasing sea buckthorn fruits. Our factory is also under construction and will be completed soon. The refrigerators will be delivered in the next two days. Everything is ready. We can’t let anything go wrong at this time. If we really lose the quarry and can’t use the trucks, we will have a lot of sea buckthorn juice that is unsalable, which is a huge loss. "Xiao Shanhe also said seriously. He usually doesn't talk so much, but this time he started to talk at length.

"Mom, just let Zhengzheng and Dad sleep with you. Zhengzheng's eyes are hoarse from crying." Chang'an said seriously, and Changning nodded beside him.

Except for Xiao Yutang who had his usual paralyzed face and Xiao Yu who was twitching from crying, everyone else was looking at Shen Huanxi with serious eyes.

What else could Shen Huanxi say? He had no choice but to agree.

"Thank you, Mom." Xiao Yu was hugging Shen Huanxi's neck, and in that one second, he stopped crying.

The way he cried stopped in a second made Shen Huanxi wonder if he was just pretending to cry.

If she hadn't seen him crying so hard that his face was covered with snot and tears and even his clothes were wet, she would have really doubted it.

"Okay, let's go back to sleep." Shen Huanxi was carrying Xiao Yuzheng into her bedroom when she heard the sound of Xiao Shanhe's wheelchair following behind her.

Shen Huanxi usually takes off her outer clothes and warm sweaters before going to bed.

There was a kang in the room which had been preheated before he went to take a shower. Now the room was warm and he wouldn't feel cold even if he took off his clothes.

There was a five-watt light bulb in her room. When she traveled back decades later, she thought it was too dim before, but now it seems bright no matter how she looks at it.

She first put Xiao Yuzheng on the kang and took out a handkerchief to wipe his face.

"Look at you, you've cried like a little kitten, aren't you ashamed?" Shen Huanxi was originally very nervous, but when she helped him wipe his chubby face, she felt that the child was getting cuter the more she looked at him, and she couldn't help but pinch his fair and tender little face, which felt so good.

Xiao Yu was looking at her obediently.

"Zheng Zheng is crying because he is scared. If Mom and Dad can sleep with Zheng Zheng every night, I will stop crying and will not turn into a little cat."

Shen Huanxi: “…”

Just now she thought this child was adorable and that she could relax just by looking at him, but now she heard what he was saying.

Before she could say anything to Xiao Yuzheng, Xiao Shanhe's deep voice came from behind him.

"Okay, Zhengzheng. From now on, Mom and Dad will sleep with you every night."

Shen Huanxi: “…”

What's wrong with this man?

"Huanxi, you don't want others to think that you are abusing your child, right? Now is the rising period of your career, and we haven't even written the bid yet..." Xiao Shanhe was talking at length again.

Shen Huanxi just listened to him and went to take off Xiao Yuzheng's clothes.

The weather was cold, and after helping Xiao Yuzheng take a bath, Zhang Guifen put on a warm sweater and cotton coat for him again. Shen Huanxi helped the child take off his clothes one by one, until the child was only left with autumn clothes and autumn pants, and then let him get into the quilt.

The kang was already heated very hot, and the quilt was warm.

"Mom, I'm going to sleep here obediently. Mom and Dad, you should also take off your clothes and come up to sleep. It's very warm!" Xiao Yu said with his whole body buried in the quilt, with only his head poking out.

"Okay." Xiao Shanhe started to take off his clothes without saying anything. It was so cold, but he only wore three pieces of clothes.

He first took off his not very thick cotton Zhongshan suit, and then took off the sweater he was wearing underneath.

When taking off the sweater, the close-fitting thermal underwear inside could be lifted up a little. In the dim 5-watt light, Shen Huanxi could clearly see his beautifully textured abdominal muscles.

Isn't that what she touched when she bought him clothes and tried them on him...

At that time, Shen Huanxi touched his abdominal muscles and thought that they were nice to touch. Unexpectedly, they were not only nice to touch, but also very nice to look at...

Shen Huanxi felt her face turn red, and she didn't know if the 5-watt bulb would allow Xiao Shanhe to see her face clearly. She once again felt that the light in the room was too bright.

"I'm only wearing a pair of trousers except for my underwear." After taking off his shirt, Xiao Shanhe looked at Shen Huanxi seriously.

"Huh?" Why did he tell her this? Was he trying to tell her that he was very cold-resistant and only wore a pair of pants besides his underwear in this season?

Shen Huanxi was just about to say, if you are afraid of heat and don’t usually heat the kang when you sleep, you can go back to your own room to sleep.

Before he could finish his words, Xiao Shanhe opened his mouth first.

"I see the sheets on your bed are quite clean. The pants I wore today were used to go to the credit union and the vegetable market to buy vegetables. There must be a lot of dirt on them. If I wear them to sleep, I will dirty your sheets."

"Then Dad can't wear it. It will be hard for Mom to wash the sheets!" Xiao Yuzheng said as he stuck his head out.

"Okay." Xiao Shanhe said and started to take off his trousers.

Shen Huanxi: “!!!!”

Do these father and son have such little respect for her opinion?

She just felt a tingling sensation in her head, and then she saw Xiao Shanhe had taken off his trousers.

Fortunately, he was wearing boxer shorts underneath, so he wasn't that exposed. But when Shen Huanxi looked at his two strong long legs, she still felt her nose getting hot.

In her previous life, she had experienced two marriages and two men, but she had never seen a man with a figure as good as Xiao Shanhe.

Xiao Shanhe is unable to stand up due to disability in both legs. If he could stand up, he would have to be at least 1.85 meters tall, right?

As she was thinking about it, she saw Xiao Shanhe holding the edge of the kang with both hands, using the strength of his hands to lift his body up, then he got on the kang and got into the quilt very swiftly.

"You come up too." Xiao Shanhe smiled at Shen Huanxi.

"..." Shen Huanxi was silent for a moment, then walked to the door and turned on the light bulb. The room instantly became pitch black, with only the firelight from the kang reflecting a faint glow.

Shen Huanxi covered the kang with an iron lid, making the room completely dark. He then took off his clothes, leaving only his autumn shirt and trousers on, then he climbed onto the kang and burrowed into the warm quilt.

Xiao Yu was sleeping between him and Xiao Shanhe. The child was content and giggling there.

"You were about to go to sleep, but you said you were scared. Why are you smiling again now?" Shen Huanxi pinched the child's face.

"Mom, I'm a little hot." Xiao Yuzheng said suddenly.

"Are you hot?" Shen Huanxi didn't think much about it.

In this era, all self-built houses in northern rural areas and some cities have kangs. It is indeed easy to get warm when sleeping on the kangs in winter.

"Then mom will change your quilt to a thinner one."

Shen Huanxi had just finished speaking when he was grabbed by Xiao Yuzheng's little hand.

"Mom, it's not the quilt that's hot, it's Daddy. Daddy's body is really hot. It's so uncomfortable for me to sleep next to him. If you don't believe me, look, Daddy is hot too."

As Xiao Yu was speaking, he pulled Shen Huanxi's hand over and pressed it on Xiao Shanhe's body.

As luck would have it, he didn't press anywhere, but just pressed Shen Huanxi's hand directly on Xiao Shanhe's chest muscles.

Shen Huanxi only felt that it was hard and elastic, the kind of elasticity that a young man has, without a trace of excess fat.

His body was really hot. Shen Huanxi felt it. It was so hot that her hands felt burned, so she quickly withdrew her hands.

"Mom, I can't sleep next to Dad. He's too hot. Mom, you should sleep next to Dad, and I'll sleep on your side."

Xiao Yuzheng finished speaking and without waiting for Shen Huanxi to react, he crawled over Shen Huanxi in the quilt and climbed to the other side, trying hard to push Shen Huanxi to Xiao Shanhe's side.

He was just a three-year-old child, how could he push Shen Huanxi, an adult? But Xiao Shanhe actually came over by himself and stood next to Shen Huanxi.

The two people were sitting next to each other with no gap in between. Even if Shen Huanxi wanted to pick up Xiao Yuzheng, he couldn't squeeze him in.

"Sleeping with mom and dad like this, I won't be afraid of being caught by monsters. Even if I have a nightmare, mom and dad will protect me! Mom and dad, I'm going to sleep now. I won't talk anymore. I have to go to kindergarten tomorrow!"

Xiao Yuzheng finished speaking and went to sleep obediently. Not long after, he could hear the child's soft snoring.

Shen Huanxi was also sitting next to Xiao Shanhe on his left and Xiao Yu, who was snoring, on his right.
