Xu Ruantang was peeling garlic when she heard this and looked up at Chen Ji. "I'm not tired, I'm not taking a break. I can't keep up with both the dessert shop and the clothing store."
After she finished speaking, she lowered her eyelashes and continued peeling garlic.
Chen Ji paused in his chopping.
He knew very well that his wife dared not stop.
The word "Xiao Bao" has recently become a taboo word for her.
Chen Ji felt a slight pain in his chest.
“Lu Shishen and Wang Xiuxiu came by before you came back.”
Xu Ruantang asked, "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
Chen Ji put down the knife, turned to look at her and said, "Wang Xiuxiu's new house is finished. She invited us to the housewarming party this weekend."
Xu Ruantang smiled gently, "Okay, let's go to the department store and pick out some gifts then."
She tilted her head slightly, thought for a moment, and then looked at Chen Ji, asking, "What should I give him? How about a vase? Or kitchenware?"
In the past two years, more and more people have been using rice cookers; they're a novelty.
"Let's go shopping together on Saturday."
Chen Ji's voice was gentle. After washing his hands, he casually ruffled Xu Ruantang's hair.
Chen Ji took the initiative to change the subject.
"Honey, can we bring the baby along?"
No matter how much she resisted the fact that Xiaobao was going to leave with Gao Baoliang, it was already a fact.
Xu Ruantang is now resisting, and has mentioned it to Chen Ji: if the child wants to leave, then let him leave; she won't see him off.
She even planned not to visit Xiaobao for a while.
But Chen Ji knew that if that happened, she would regret it after the child was gone.
Rather than being sad and upset later, it's better to seize the moment and not let her have any regrets.
Besides, Chen Ji's claim of taking the train to see Xiao Bao wasn't just a casual remark.
With increasingly developed transportation, they can even drive themselves and treat it as a trip.
Xu Ruantang paused for a moment, then quickly nodded, "Okay."
Chen Ji went to the Gao family's house to pick up Xiao Bao on Friday.
When they arrived at the lotus pond, Xu Ruantang had just finished organizing the accounts.
Wang Qiuhong learned quickly from Li Shuhe. Compared to her reserved demeanor when she first entered the store, she can now smile confidently at the customers.
Xu Ruantang discovered that Wang Qiuhong was a very logical person.
So many years of being a housewife haven't been without their advantages.
She remembered the accounts more clearly than when Li Shuhe was in the store.
"Mother!"
A childish voice rang out.
