Xu Hui was busy in the kitchen for a while before Gou Sheng's mother came over. Since they did not stay in a pile anymore, Xu Hui did not call her sister-in-law anymore and directly called her Auntie Li.
"Why are you here, Auntie Li? I'm still quite busy right now, go outside and rest." While he was talking, Xu Hui did not sit idle either. He was kneading the dough on the chopping board one by one.
Although the Lin Qianhu had arranged a new residence for them, they still ate together and the things they obtained were all given to Xu Hui. Naturally, Xu Hui was also very happy. Everyone was happy to have Gou Sheng's mother help with the food. He was no different from a family member. "Hualala!" "Hualhh"
Gou Sheng's mother's face was filled with joy, or perhaps it was because it was New Year today, so his words revealed his good mood, "It's nothing much, I can't find anything to do right now either. "Those children have gone out with Niuniu to play. Looking at how happy they are now, I feel very comfortable in my heart."
Xu Hui wondered if she should tell Gou Sheng's mother about them going to the border first. After all, she did not think that her life would change much, but Gou Sheng's mother was living a good life now.
Gou Sheng's mother talked to himself for a while but did not see any response from Xu Hui, so he elbowed Xu Hui: "What's wrong, why are you so absent-minded?"
Xu Hui forced a smile and decided not to tell Gou Sheng's mother yet, but she was still a little worried that she would be able to handle this blow. "Nothing, I'm just thinking about something."
Gou Sheng's mother was at a loss. "What are you thinking about? Nothing much has happened recently, right?"
Xu Hui smiled, "Auntie Li, how long do you think we can live in peace?"
did not understand why Xu Hui would say that. For Gou Sheng's mother, living like this was a day, and as for what would happen in the future, he did not need to think about it so early.
Thinking about it this way, Gou Sheng's mother told him what he was thinking. Xu Hui could not tell what she was thinking at the moment. She used to think that Gou Sheng's mother's thoughts were pathetic.
Now, however, Xu Hui felt a little envious. "I just wanted to see if they are feeling sad or not because they are all eating from their knives and tips."
While the two of them were busy in the kitchen, a few children had already called the Lin Qianhu family over. When the dishes were served, the atmosphere became more lively. Xu Hui still had her wine on the table.
Lin Dingbei and the others, who usually came less and less, also came over. These brothers of Xiao Da Yong's rarely came to Xu Hui's place to eat after what Xu Hui had done previously. Now that it was a good opportunity, these brothers were overjoyed.
As more people conversed, they became more idle. It was unknown who mentioned about Xiu Er and Gou Sheng's marriage at the beginning, but the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. The few ladies who did not know about this matter were confused, especially Xiao Xiuer, who had a red face and had her head lowered in embarrassment.
Seeing that everyone had fallen silent, Xiao Xiuer was not stupid, and immediately knew that something must have happened. A thought suddenly flashed through her mind. She better not let Gou Sheng suddenly go back on his words and not marry him!
The more Xiao Xiuer thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible. Right at this moment, Lin Qianhu suddenly spoke, but his words were directed at Gou Sheng's mother: "Auntie Li, I, Lin has let you down. I was unable to help this group of brothers of mine, and also failed to help Gou Sheng." After he finished speaking, he picked up the wine cup on the table and finished it in one gulp.
Normally, the Lin Qianhu would give everyone a good impression of their brothers, but now that she mentioned it, Gou Sheng's mother felt that he was unable to accept it, "This … "What do you mean?"
The Lin Qianhu pursed his lips in a silly manner: "The higher-ups sent out orders for us brothers to guard the border. Although I had applied for the transfer order, I was still rejected.
After Gou Sheng's mother heard this, he felt like he could not find his bearings. "Border? Isn't that place famous for its dangers? Why would people like you who have accomplished a great deed go there? "
This was also what Xu Hui wanted to ask, but because she was a woman with a special identity, asking such questions would inevitably cause gossip. However, Gou Sheng's mother was different. Even if he said something even more outrageous, no one would blame her for it.
Lin Qianhu frowned, with one glance, it was clear that he had his own opinion on this matter, "It's precisely because we have performed meritorious services that have caused so much chaos over there, so you want us to go over and establish our might."
Lin Qianhu's words were quickly understood by others. However, Xu Hui disagreed with what she understood. No matter who it was, they would still suffer a lot if they went there.
Gou Sheng was also at a loss as to what to do. It was as if he had taken a long time to find his own voice, Xiao Xiuer asked: "Then what should I do?"
Gou Sheng's expression was somewhat thought-provoking, as though he had gone through a long mental struggle, before slowly opening his mouth: "Xiu Er, you are a good girl, since we are not married yet, let's forget about the marriage."
Hearing that, Xiu Er's tears rolled down: "How can it be like this? "He clearly said it was done …"
Xu Hui thought that she would reject Gou Sheng's suggestion, but in the end, she only held Xiao Xiuer's hand and said, "You are indeed not so safe to follow us Gou Sheng, if you don't mind, I will take you as my mother. I really like you, girl."
However, Xiao Xiuer did not nod her head, and only took her hand out of Gou Sheng's mother's hand. She looked at everyone present with firm eyes and said: "It's already quite impressive that I, Xiao Xiuer, am able to have this day, so I am not prepared to be with others any longer. I don't want to do anything but your daughter-in-law. " These last words were said to Gou Sheng's mother, who seemed to have not expected Xiao Xiuer to do this, and was stunned for a moment.
Xu Hui did not expect such a scene to occur. She thought that it would definitely cause some trouble, but Xiao Xiuer's current appearance made him feel that she was overthinking things.
Gou Sheng's face was brimming with joy, and even overshadowed the previous melancholy. Xiao Da Yong laughed out loud. "Great! "That's more like my Xiao family!"
