Chapter 428: Peace
The night is as dark as ink, and the late autumn night is already chilly.
The He family courtyard was also pitch black, with only some lights coming from the rooms where people lived.
In the bedroom of the north room, the light illuminates the room.
Chen Xueru was sitting in front of the small bed where her two children were lying, covered tightly.
She reached out and gently patted the quilt. At this moment, the two children had fallen asleep.
Near the big wooden bed on the inside, He Yuzhu was bending over and arranging the bedding.
Seeing that her children were already asleep, Chen Xueru quietly stopped and tiptoed towards He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu noticed the movement, stopped and looked back, his eyes sweeping over his children.
"Are you all asleep? The beds are made, let's go to bed and get some rest!"
I subconsciously lowered my voice for fear of waking the sleeping child.
Chen Xueru nodded gently and smiled back: "Okay, Brother Zhuzi."
Not long after, the two took off their coats and lay down in bed.
"Click~"
The light cord was pulled, the spring clicked, the light bulb went out, and the room was plunged into darkness.
Chen Xueru felt the heat coming from He Yuzhui beside her and squeezed towards him out of habit.
The constant flow of heat made her more comfortable and her lips curled up.
"Brother Zhuzi, what did you talk about with the chief today? It took longer than usual."
Every time she went to Chief Chen's house, it was a routine for He Yuzhu to be called to the study to talk, and she had become accustomed to it.
Today's lunch was delayed by half an hour, which was obviously much longer than usual.
She didn't know how to ask at that time, so she could only suppress her curiosity and ask He Yuzhu when she returned home.
He Yuzhu frowned in the darkness, hesitated for a moment, and then answered in a low voice.
"Hi! Nothing much. The chief has a happy family event, so we chatted for a while."
Chen Xueru was skeptical and looked up at He Yuzhu, but she couldn't see the expression on his face in the dark.
She leaned on He Yuzhu's shoulder again, hugged his arm tightly, and stopped asking questions.
"You're right! I remember the chief's eldest son is a few years older than you, right?"
During the years in Harbin, He Yuzhu had few opportunities to see Chief Chen's eldest son.
I am at school age and spend most of my time in school.
I only go home during holidays or come to Harbin to visit relatives.
"Hey, the commander is in good health, isn't this normal?
By the way, you can go there and chat with people when you have nothing to do in the future.
I will cook the soup in advance and you can bring it over.
Big sister is not too young, so you still need to be more careful, it is better to suffer less."
A woman in her thirties is truly an older mother.
What’s more, the current conditions are not very good, and we can only make up for it through food.
"Yes, I noted it. My elder sister gave me a lot of cigarettes and alcohol before she left. I think she emptied the house.
I saw the way the chief glared at you, hehe~"
"Haha~ These are good things, but they are hard to get outside."
He Yuzhu moved his arms and paused, "Alright, alright. Stop talking about this and let's go to bed."
"Ah~"
A suppressed shout came from the darkness, and the child sleeping soundly in the small bed smacked his lips, as if he sensed something.
Winter has gone and spring has come, time passes, and the city is once again covered with golden autumn clothes.
After a year, the roads became wider and cleaner, and the main roads were expanded.
The faces of pedestrians in the streets and alleys are filled with a unique vitality, and the ancient capital is filled with vigor and vitality.
"Dingling bell~"
The bicycle bell rang and He Yuzhu was riding his bicycle on the road.
His daughter was sitting on the small stool on the front bumper, and Chen Xueru was sitting on the back seat holding her son.
He Yushui followed beside them on her own bike with something tied to the back seat.
The two bicycles quickly passed through the front gate and turned into the street on the right.
During this period of time, He Yuzhu stayed comfortably in the cafeteria.
I go to get off work and get off work on time every day, and take my kids out to play during holidays. I am so happy.
After wandering around in the alley for a while, a familiar sign came into view.
The bicycle turned skillfully and headed into an alley on the side, finally stopping steadily in front of a side door.
"It's here!"
He Yuzhu supported himself on the ground with his legs, shouted, and asked everyone to get off the bus.
Chen Xueru jumped lightly, got out of the back seat holding her son, turned around and looked at the side door.
“Yushui, take the gift down and give it to Uncle Cai later!”
"Okay, sister-in-law!"
After He Yushui got off the bike, he quickly propped up the bicycle leg with one foot and started to untie the rope.
Shouts were heard from outside the door in the yard, followed by the sound of footsteps and the side door was opened from the inside.
Cai Quanwu looked at the He family and, as expected, their guests had arrived.
The smile on his face grew even brighter as he stepped over the threshold and came forward to greet her.
"Zhu Zi, Xue Ru, Yu Shui, you are here! Please come in! Please come in!"
He Yuzhu hugged his daughter with one hand and pushed the bicycle with the other: "Uncle Cai, congratulations!"
"Uncle Cai, congratulations!"
The two children greeted their parents and shouted crisply, "Hello, Uncle!"
"Okay, okay~ Tongtong, Yangyang is so good! Come, let uncle hug you!"
When Cai Quanwu heard the soft shouting, his face wrinkled with smile and he reached out to hug the two children.
"Let's go inside and talk. We're all family, so don't be polite!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked inside.
He Yuzhu and three others followed closely behind, pushing their bicycles into the yard.
This was a tavern that originally belonged to the old He family, with a shop in front and a yard in the back.
Although the shop in front has been jointly operated, the backyard is a residential area and is still under Xu Huizhen's name.
After Cai Quanwu married her, he moved from the back house and lived in this big courtyard.
Firstly, the environmental conditions are much better than those in the back room, and secondly, it is convenient for running a tavern.
This time He Yuzhu's whole family came here to congratulate Cai Quanwu, whose child was one month old today.
Hearing the noise in the yard, Xu Huizhen walked out of the north room holding her baby in her arms.
"You're here! Come in, have a cup of tea and take a rest!"
Chen Xueru took the lead, walking in front with a smile on her face, and stopped in front of Xu Huizhen.
"Huizhen, congratulations on the birth of your daughter!"
Xu Huizhen glanced at the two children in Cai Quanwu's arms, and looked at Chen Xueru who was looking smug in front of her.
He understood her little thoughts and couldn't help but roll his eyes and slap her.
"Xue Ru, is this how you congratulate me?"
They had known each other earlier than Cai Quanwu, so Chen Xueru naturally refused to change her name and continued to call him by his name.
Xu Huizhen was well aware of the relationship between Cai Quanwu and the He family, and it was not a good idea to force this distant relative too much.
In addition, she also felt that Chen Xueru was different and her personality was even more childish than before marriage.
While she was envious, she allowed Chen Xueru to continue her previous habits.
After Chen Xueru said this, she realized her impoliteness and smiled awkwardly.
His eyes fell on the swaddling clothes in Xu Huizhen's arms and he changed the subject directly.
"Wow, the baby is so cute! After a month, he has finally grown up."
