Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

Chapter 258 Adopting a Godson

Wang Hongtao had no idea what had happened in the Jia family. At this moment, he was on his way to Chen Xueru's house.

Chen Xueru's home.

Xier took Hou Kui out for some fun and just came back.

Hou Kui looked up and asked, "Mom, didn't you say Uncle Wang would come today? Why hasn't he come yet?"

"Your Uncle Wang's house is far from here. I guess he was delayed on the way!" Chen Xueru explained patiently.

This afternoon, Chen Xueru tried her best to please Wang Hongtao, and finally persuaded him to come and accompany her tonight.

Hou Kui's attitude is easy to explain. Just buy a few small toys such as tin frogs and gunpowder guns from the mall, and Hou Kui will immediately become Wang Hongtao's little fan and become very close to him.

Hou Kui also once asked Chen Xueru why other children had fathers but he didn't.

Every time, Chen Xueru would get impatient and sometimes even get angry at him. After so many times, Hou Kui stopped asking.

Hou Kui was happy that there was suddenly a man who was kind to his mother by her side.

Just as the mother and son were talking, there was a knock on the door. Hou Kui ran over excitedly to open the door.

"Uncle Wang!" Hou Kui shouted happily when he saw Wang Hongtao standing outside the door.

"Little naughty monkey!" Wang Hongtao touched Hou Kui's head and went into the house carrying the things.

Chen Xueru heard the noise and came out of the house with a smile on her face.

"Come on, come in and sit down, the meal will be ready soon."

"I've eaten, but I can eat some more with you."

Wang Hongtao responded, put the gifts he brought aside, and wanted to sit on the sofa to rest for a while.

As a result, Hou Kui started to pester Wang Hongtao to play with him, and Wang Hongtao agreed lovingly.

Looking at the two people, one big and one small, squatting on the ground playing with the tin frog, Chen Xueru couldn't help but smile happily.

Chen Xueru was not worried that Wang Hongtao would dislike her, but she was worried that Wang Hongtao was just playing around.

After all, Wang Hongtao is so young and has just come to the city from the countryside. His mentality is not stable enough, and there is not a very deep emotional foundation between the two.

But now, seeing Wang Hongtao treating his child so affectionately, Chen Xueru can finally feel relieved.

She squatted down and asked, "Xiao Kui, what are you guys playing that makes you so happy?"

Hou Kui smiled brightly and said, "We are having a race to see whose frog can run the farthest."

After they played for a while, Xier came over and said that the meal was almost ready, and then she took Hou Kui to wash their hands.

Chen Xueru held Wang Hongtao's hand and said gently, "It's strange, Hou Kui has always been shy, but he likes to play with you."

Wang Hongtao laughed: "Children are the most sensitive, right? They can tell right away whether someone is really nice to him or has other intentions."

After a few words, Xier came back with Hou Kui.

Hou Kui sat down obediently and waited until the adults started eating before he started eating.

To be honest, Hou Kui was well educated by Chen Xueru. He is kind, honest, and filial. He will definitely be a good child when he grows up.

That's why Wang Hongtao dislikes the children of the Jia family but is very caring towards Hou Kui.

There's no other reason, it's all because Banggeng is a cold-hearted person, and he specifically targets people who are nice to him. Anyone who dares to rely on him for retirement might be driven out of his home at any time and freeze to death under a bridge, with no one to collect the body.

The dinner at Chen Xueru's house was very sumptuous, with vegetables and meat. Wang Hongtao also served a small half bowl of rice and ate with the mother and son.

Xier probably thought highly of her status as a maid, so she left after serving the dishes. Chen Xueru didn't say anything, and Wang Hongtao ignored it too.

Seeing that Wang Hongtao only had so little rice, Chen Xueru picked up the dish and put some vegetables into his bowl: "If you can't finish the rice, eat more vegetables. You need oil and water after working hard."

Wang Hongtao gave another small portion to Hou Kui: "I came here after eating, so just eat whatever you want. But the little monkey needs to eat more, as it is the time for growth."

Hou Kui put a mouthful of rice in his mouth and laughed as he looked at his mother's obsessed look.

Chen Xueru knocked on his head with chopsticks: "What are you laughing at? Eat your food seriously!"

Hou Kui swallowed his meal in a few mouthfuls, then leaned close to Chen Xueru's ear and whispered, "Mom, is Uncle Wang the new father you found for me?"

Chen Xueru's face turned red.

"What are you talking about? Uncle Wang is mom's friend, don't say anything nonsense."

Hou Kui sighed like a little adult: "Oh, that would be great if it were true. I really want Uncle Wang to be my dad..."

"you…."

Chen Xueru raised her hand and wanted to hit him, but when she saw the tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes, she couldn't bring herself to do it. She just stroked the top of his head and turned away, unable to bear to look at him any longer.

Suddenly Chen Xueru had an idea: "Kui'er, do you want to recognize Uncle Wang as your godfather?"

Hou Kui looked up in surprise and said, "Is it okay?" Then his eyes moved between Chen Xueru and Wang Hongtao.

Chen Xueru pulled Wang Hongtao's hand from under the table, her eyes full of pleading.

Wang Hongtao weighed the pros and cons, touched Hou Kui's head, and asked with a smile: "Little monkey, are you willing to recognize Uncle Wang as your godfather?"

Hou Kui nodded quickly and said excitedly, "Yes, yes! I like Uncle Wang the most!"

Chen Xueru was so happy that she almost burst into laughter: "Quick! Kneel down and kowtow to your godfather!"

Hou Kui didn't even bother eating. He put down his chopsticks, pulled out his chair, knelt down, and kowtowed three times: "Godfather!"

When I raised my head, my forehead was red.

Wang Hongtao smiled and helped him up, rubbing his forehead for him: "It's true, doesn't your head hurt after hitting it so hard?"

Hou Kui happily shook his head: "It doesn't hurt, I can still knock a few more!"

Wang Hongtao hurriedly dissuaded him: "No, no, no, three is enough, I can't bear any more!"

"Well, I was in a hurry and didn't prepare any gifts for the children. I'll make it up to the little monkey next time I come."

Chen Xueru said gently: "Why didn't you give it to me? Isn't it on the table?"

"That's for you. Didn't you give the little monkey his share? This is between us, women, please don't get involved."

"Right, Hou Kui?"

"Godfather is right!" Hou Kui nodded vigorously.

"You little heartless boy, you don't even listen to your mother now that you have a godfather?!" Chen Xueru complained with a smile, but anyone could see the happiness in the corners of her eyes.

Next, they ate and talked about happy things just like a family of three, and the house was filled with a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.

While Hou Kui wasn't paying attention, Chen Xueru asked in a low voice: "Can you not leave tonight? I...I'll do whatever you say!"

Wang Hongtao thought about it for a moment, nodded slightly, with a slight smirk on his lips.

Chen Xueru immediately understood, and called Xier over to take Hou Kui away, and then took Wang Hongtao into her room.

After Xier helped Hou Kui wash up, before she could even coax the child to sleep, a strange, muffled noise came from next door.

Hou Kui asked curiously: "Sister Xier, what happened to my mother? Is she feeling unwell?"

Xier secretly spit, thinking to herself, is that really that comfortable? Can't you hold it back after all this effort?

"It's okay, Kui'er, Uncle Wang is just joking with your mother."

"Go to sleep, be good."
