Chapter 673: Sour grapes if you can’t eat them
Since Xiao Changgong invited Lin Chen to drink tonight, he deliberately left work a little later to wait for Lin Chen.
Now Lin Chen happened to be driving him past here.
"Director Lin, is someone causing trouble? I see they are all wearing work clothes from the steel mill..."
Without him saying anything, Lin Chen had already seen it...
"It's okay. We are just a bunch of people with nothing to do. Let's go our way..."
Lin Chen didn't plan to stop, and Xiao Changgong was too embarrassed to ask more questions.
Just like that, Lin Chen's car drove right past the crowd...
……
Courtyard house
Xiao Yufang is now helping her sister-in-law stew chicken...
"Xiaolong, go play! You don't need to light a fire here..."
When Xiao Delong heard that he didn't have to work by himself, he got up and ran next door to play with Yan Jiekuang.
Xiao Yufang deliberately sent her nephew away because she had something to ask her sister-in-law, but she was too embarrassed to ask with the child around.
Feng was not stupid. When her sister-in-law came in, she noticed that the girl's cheeks were red...
"Yufang, do you have something to tell your sister-in-law? You seem a little abnormal today... Just tell me what's going on."
Along the way, Ma Lan told a thorough story of love between a man and a woman...
Especially when Qin Huairu was sleeping on the kang, Ma Lan reminded the girl not to look for a man who was too tall and mighty... otherwise she would suffer. Qin Huairu was a living example. She was so embarrassed by Lin Chen that she didn't even dare to go home...
When the little girl thought of Lin Chen bullying Qin Huairu... her face turned red all the way home. But it also aroused her curiosity and competitive spirit...
Just because Qin Huairu is not good doesn't mean that I am not good either. If I really can't bear it, why don't I get a divorce? There are so many people waiting in line at the factory, and they are all greedy for Lin Chen...
Now Xiao Yufang suspected that Ma Lan was deliberately belittling Lin Chen. She couldn't eat the grapes, so she said they were sour! She needed to listen to what her sister-in-law had to say...
"Sister-in-law, I... I'm already eighteen years old! Why didn't you tell me... about the incident on the kang? Ma Lan chatted with me all day today. She said that you must be clear about the person when choosing a partner, and it's not a good thing to find a tall and mighty man... Qin Huairu doesn't even dare to go home now."
When Mrs. Feng heard this, she burst out laughing... She had said that her sister-in-law was in love, and now it seemed to be true.
Feng patted her sister-in-law on the shoulder and smiled.
"You... why are you so anxious? Sister-in-law wants to tell you when you have a partner. Do you have someone you like now? If so, I will tell you..."
How could Xiao Yufang dare to admit that she had a crush on Lin Chen, who was already married? She also didn't dare tell her sister-in-law Ma Lan that she had been praising Lin Chen along the way.
"No... No, I'm just curious. I took a ride with Ma Lan today, but I didn't understand anything she said. So I'm asking you..."
Feng thought it was inconvenient to talk about these private topics in the kitchen, so she just smiled softly.
"I should tell you something, otherwise people will think that the Xiao family has a silly girl! Let's go to the room and talk about it later!"
Xiao Yufang smiled and nodded slightly. It is natural for men and women to love each other.
Feng had the obligation to teach her sister-in-law, after all, she was the girl she raised.
Just as the aunt and sister-in-law were chatting and laughing in low voices, Xiao Changgong was stopped by Yan Bugui at the door of his house.
"Old Xiao, what happened today? How did you get back in Brother Lin's car? Where are the other people in the courtyard?"
When Xiao Changgong heard that the people in the courtyard had not returned yet...
"This... Just now I saw someone fighting outside Dongzhimen. Could it be someone from our courtyard? I was in Brother Lin's car and couldn't see clearly..."
Yan Bugui originally wanted to find a topic to talk to Xiao Changgong and get a free meal. But now he heard that the people in the courtyard might fight with outsiders...
He panicked immediately. He didn't worry about the Yan family before, but now his eldest son was hanging out with Liu Haizhong and his group, and the Liu family didn't get along with his family.
Yan Bugui is now worried that Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai will cheat his son...
"Old Xiao, are you talking about Dongzhimen? I'm going to take a look now..."
Yan Bugui hurried to the Jia family to borrow a bicycle, after all, Jia Dongxu had not returned. He believed that the Jia family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would not reject him...
……
By the time Lin Chen changed his clothes at home and returned to the front yard for the banquet, Yan Bugui had already left in a hurry pushing the Jia family's bicycle.
forecourt
When Lin Chen was almost at the door of Xiao's house, he had a bag in his hand, which contained wine and canned meat.
"Sister-in-law, just stir-fry two dishes. Don't make it so troublesome..."
Just as Feng was about to be polite, Xiao Yufang ran over to take the things from Lin Chen's hand.
"It's no trouble. Director Lin helped me arrange such a good job. We should express our gratitude..."
The sister-in-law said all the words, and Feng just smiled.
Lin Chen discovered that Feng's friendliness towards him was far from the standard of a mother-in-law, so he slightly released a little bit of his charm towards her... Although she was only Xiao Yufang's sister-in-law, she was better than a mother-in-law.
"The job is the quota promised by the factory, and you passed the exam to become an inspector based on your own ability. I really didn't help much... Comrade Yufang, please don't be so polite. I believe you will achieve greater success if you study hard in the future."
After hearing what Lin Chen said, Feng felt that this young man was really friendly. He never took credit for anything, nor did he show off, and he didn't show off his authority in the courtyard...
"Brother Lin, you are too modest. Come and sit in the main hall! Let Yufang pour you some water. My dishes will be ready soon."
Lin Chen walked into the Xiao family happily.
"Yufang, where is your brother?"
Xiao Yufang brought a cup of tea with a smile.
"We're inviting Director Da to dinner! My brother went to the store to buy some wine and broad bean flowers. Director Lin, why hasn't my sister-in-law Huairu come back yet? I haven't seen her for several days."
Although Xiao Yufang is of the same generation as Lin Chen, she doesn't dare to call Lin Chen "brother" now...but the smart girl deliberately calls Qin Huairu "sister-in-law" in front of Lin Chen.
"Director Bai was dissatisfied with the noise in the courtyard, so she took your sister-in-law to her private courtyard to stay for a few days."
A few days ago, they would fight over a big banquet, it would be strange if there was no noise...Also, Jia Zhang quarreled with others every few days, which would definitely disturb the little one's sleep.
"Oh, I was wondering why I didn't see Sister Huairu."
Xiao Yufang probably thought that you were the one who ran away when she slept with him!
Lin Chen saw that she mentioned it twice in a row and smiled.
"Comrade Yufang, no one in the hospital calls me Director. You don't have to call me Director either. Since we are peers, just call me Brother."
Xiao Yufang was delighted and called Huairu "sister-in-law" twice in a row... You finally thought of it!
"Well... okay then! I will call you Brother Lin Chen from now on..."
The two were chatting animatedly when Feng in the kitchen became hesitant.
Even her son, who came home for dinner, was locked in the kitchen and not allowed to go to the living room to make trouble...
Moreover, Feng comforted herself in her heart that it was normal for Yufang to chat with the guests when Lao Xiao was not at home!
However, Feng had subconsciously intended to create an opportunity for her sister-in-law...
"Xiaolong and Xiaohu, go to the store now and tell your dad to buy another bottle of soy sauce. Go quickly..."
Feng calculated that her husband would be back soon, and in order to give her sister-in-law more time to spend with her... now she could only delay her husband, the stubborn old man.
When the two children heard that they could go to the store, they immediately ran out of the kitchen.
