Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

Chapter 470 Chen Xueru's Family Affairs

"Chief Wang, are you done with your work?"

When Wang Hongtao approached, Liu Yanan couldn't help but retort him, as if she was still upset that he had taken advantage of her.

"Yeah, the strength is here, there is nothing we can do."

"Let's go, Sister Liu." Wang Hongtao waved at her, then pushed his bicycle away.

"Is the strength here?"

Liu Yanan stood there in a daze, and it took him a long time to figure things out.

"Bah, shameless!"

......

The lanterns are on.

The nights at that time were already silent. There was no rich nightlife like there is now. The residents would at most go to the door to digest their food after dinner, sit in the streets and chat for a few minutes before going home to rest.

Those who have wives can go home and marry them. If you don’t have a wife, then find a way on your own.

Outside a large mansion on Qianmen Street, Wang Hongtao parked his car and carried some fruits into the yard.

Chen Xueru was a straightforward person. She said she was bored at home and wanted to have a child for Wang Hongtao. She got pregnant right away. The date was almost the same as Yu Li's.

Wang Hongtao had recently received an award, so he could decide whether to get pregnant or not. Because of Hou Kui's relationship, Chen Xueru arranged for a girl. (Lou Xiao'e had received an award when she gave birth, and she could freely decide whether to get pregnant or not, and whether to have a boy or a girl.)

The silk shop had been closed for a long time, and Hou Kui had already gone to elementary school. It was indeed a bit boring for her and Xi Yatou to be the only ones at home.

Chen Xueru had already saved enough money to last her a lifetime, and since she had a city hukou, her ration and everything was sufficient, so Wang Hongtao didn't need to worry about her.

Hearing the familiar bicycle bell, Chen Xueru knew that it was Wang Hongtao coming over: "Hurry, little monkey, your godfather is here."

Hou Kui immediately trotted over to greet him.

"Godfather is here?"

"Hey, what a big watermelon! Let me help you carry it." Hou Kui was very excited to see Wang Hongtao and stretched out his hand to help carry the thing.

"No, no, be careful not to fall. You take the bunch of grapes, I'll take the watermelon myself." Wang Hongtao stopped him.

"Are you here?" Chen Xueru greeted with a smile.

"Xi'er, go get me a cup of tea."

Ever since she became pregnant, Chen Xueru had naturally taken on the air of a mistress of the household, and her every move and gesture was dignified and virtuous.

Hou Kui stood beside Wang Hongtao enthusiastically, eager to try.

Wang Hongtao touched his head and ordered, "Go pick the grapes one by one and wash them clean with water."

"Hey!" Hou Kui went there excitedly after hearing his godfather's order.

Chen Xueru sat next to Wang Hongtao and said with a smile: "This boy is closer to you than me as a mother."

Wang Hongtao grabbed Chen Xueru's hand and patted it gently: "What? Are you jealous of me?"

Chen Xueru glanced at him seductively: "You're just making trouble!"

Then he relaxed his brows and leaned his head on Wang Hongtao's shoulder: "At first I was worried that Kui'er would be upset about our relationship."

"Before, I can keep it a secret, but after we have a baby, I have to let him know."

"Now that I see him being so close to you, I feel relieved."

Wang Hongtao tilted his head and rubbed his face against her tender cheek: "Little Monkey is sensible and can accept this. If it is inconvenient for you to tell him, let me do it. I will tell him."

Chen Xueru nodded: "Well, it would be best if you solve it."

"Why did you suddenly think of coming to my place?"

Wang Hongtao scratched her nose: "What are you talking about? It's as if I forgot about you."

"Isn't this a favor someone asked me to do for you? I sent you some fruit because I thought you'd like it, so I sent it to you while it's fresh."

"I didn't expect you to dislike me."

Chen Xueru smiled sweetly and fell into Wang Hongtao's arms: "Haha, I don't dislike you. My man has me in his heart and he is so happy that he can't wait..."

"That's pretty much it."

Chen Xueru indeed thought so. Although the way she met the man was a little strange, it did not change the fact that they got along very well.

Chen Xueru was rich and pretty. Although her background was not very good, it was not to the extent that she would hold others back. Even though she had been divorced once and had children, she was still quite popular at that time.

The reason why she didn't find a man to marry, but chose to be Wang Hongtao's mistress, wasn't it because she wanted to be comfortable and at ease with him?

As for not being able to register and be together openly, she didn't think it was a big deal.

Because of her divorce, she realized that a piece of paper could not bring her much security. What was most important was that the person was excellent and willing to treat her sincerely.

"I'll ask Xier to open this watermelon. You can try a piece to taste it," Chen Xueru suggested.

"No, it's late at night. If we don't finish the food, it won't be fresh tomorrow." Wang Hongtao waved his hand and refused: "Let's open it tomorrow during the day. You know I don't lack food."

After hearing what Wang Hongtao said, Chen Xueru didn't force it: "Okay, then eat a few grapes. These grapes are so big and look delicious."

Wang Hongtao nodded and grinned, "Hey, can it be as delicious as yours?"

"Bah, that's totally out of tune!"

Xi'er rolled her eyes when she heard this. This guy really doesn't treat me as an outsider! But why is my heart beating so fast?

After a while, Hou Kui came back with the washed grapes.

"Godfather, I've washed them." As he put the grapes on the table, he waited eagerly for Wang Hongtao's praise.

Wang Hongtao patted his head, peeled one for Chen Xueru, and handed one to Hou Kui:

"The little monkey is good. Come and peel it yourself."

"Mom is so unlucky. She still needs help from her godfather even though she is so grown up." Hou Kui said bluntly.

Chen Xueru smiled helplessly: "This child..."

"But these grapes are really delicious. They are juicy and sweet. I guess the person who asked you to do something for him took a lot of effort to find them."

"It's good to be an official. People give you everything."

Giving gifts and presents was something Chen Xueru had done many times before. Coming from a merchant family, she knew the relationship between power and money very well, which was why she had some complaints about officials.

"Haha." Wang Hongtao smiled: "So you are the wife of an official?"

Chen Xueru became nervous when she heard that and quickly looked at Hou Kui. She relaxed only when she saw that he did not look unhappy.

He patted his chest and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"It's okay." Wang Hongtao patted Hou Kui on the shoulder: "You are already in elementary school, and you will be an adult soon. You should understand and be considerate of your mother."

"Little monkey, how do you think your mother treats you, and how does your godfather treat you?"

"My mother treats me very well, and my godfather treats me very well too!" Hou Kui answered without hesitation.

People are actually very realistic, and so are children.

At the beginning, when children are very young, they will like the parent who has time to play with them, and they will like the one who spends more time with them.

When they grow up, they will like parents who do not restrict them and allow them to play freely. They also have a certain admiration for the strong and like the "stronger" one.

When the children grow up and enter society, they begin to like the one who is powerful and has status.

I can't say this is 100% accurate, but the accuracy rate is still around 60% to 70%.

Hou Kui is now between the first and second stages. Wang Hongtao never restricts him, is willing to play with him, and acts like a capable person, so Hou Kui naturally won't reject him.

This is not to say that he is a snob.

There is an old saying that a son will not despise his mother's ugliness, and a dog will not despise his family's poverty, but why doesn't it also say: A son will not despise his family's poverty?

There is a reason for this.

You may not say it out loud, but you will always have this thought in your heart.

To put it bluntly, if you could be born in Rome, who would want to be a slave?
