After leaving Wang Zibo's house, Chen Hansheng and Xiao Rongyu went back together. When they passed by the tobacco and wine shop, he bought two sticks of Su cigarettes, two bottles of Wuliangye, and a bag of fruit.
Xiao Rongyu's mood had changed a lot today. She was very sad after calling her father, but she was relieved that Chen Hansheng took the initiative to stand up for her. But when she was about to get home, she began to worry again.
"Xiao Chen, my heart is beating so fast now."
Xiao Rongyu stretched out her white and tender fingers. "My fingers seem to be shaking uncontrollably, and I can't hold them tightly."
Chen Hansheng looked at her and felt a little cold on the back of her hand, which meant that she was really nervous. So he comforted her. "Maybe it's because of climbing the stairs. I'm just here to have a meal. There won't be any problem."
Although Xiao Rongyu's house was in Cangwu Green Garden, the best residential area in Harbor City, it was still a staircase house, because there was no elevator residential area in Harbor City in 2003.
Chen Hansheng comforted her while pressing his finger on the doorbell of the anti-theft door.
"If you are really nervous, I'll go back first."
"No!"
Xiao Rongyu immediately raised her head, but when she saw Chen Hansheng's smiling face and there was no sign that he was going to leave, she knew that she was cheated again.
"You are so annoying."
Xiao Rongyu said coquettishly, "My heart is really beating fast."
The anti-theft door suddenly opened by itself, and Xiao Hongwei stood at the door with a serious face. "I was just about to throw away the garbage, but I didn't expect that you were all here."
"Dad."
Xiao Rongyu called and hurried into the door to change her shoes.
If it were before, she would definitely hold Xiao Hongwei's arm and act like a spoiled child, but now she was so nervous that she forgot to do so.
How could there be such a coincidence? He was just worried that his daughter would be taken advantage of.
"Old Xiao, you are still peeping at such an old age."
Chen Hansheng complained in his heart, but he greeted them with a smile. "Uncle Xiao, Auntie Lu."
Lv Yuqing still looked like a female cadre in a government agency. She was polite and distant. "Hello, Han Sheng."
Xiao Hongwei did not respond. When he saw the cigarettes and alcohol in Chen Hansheng's hands, he said coldly, "I've stopped smoking and drinking recently. Take them home to your father."
"My dad has also quit drinking and smoking recently. It's useless to give it to him."
Chen Hansheng said as he changed his shoes.
"Why did your dad quit smoking and drinking?"
Xiao Hongwei had seen Chen Zhaojun a few days ago, but he had not heard of him quitting smoking and drinking.
"I don't know."
Chen Hansheng said with a smile, "Maybe she's preparing for a second child."
"Nonsense, why would your dad have a second child? Does he not want his job anymore?"
Lv Yuqing couldn't help but curse. Then, the family of four sat on the sofa and chatted.
Why was it called a family of four? Because Chen Hansheng's expression was very relaxed. He did not lower his head timidly, and also did not stutter when he spoke. His behavior was actually even more natural than Xiao Rongyu.
Xiao Hongwei said secretly, "If only this brat was a bit more serious about relationships. He clearly knows that this is a Hongmen Banquet, but not only does he dare to come over, he even dares to joke around. His words are also very organized. The quality of his heart is already stronger than a lot of people."
Because of his job, Old Xiao had come into contact with all kinds of criminals or suspects. He felt that Chen Hansheng belonged to the type of people that did not have any scruples.
"Wash your hands and eat. Let's talk while eating."
Lv Yuqing reckoned that the chicken soup was about to cool down. She called for them to eat and said to Chen Hansheng, "Don't be courteous, just treat this as your own home."
"I will listen to Auntie Lu, I will definitely treat this place as my own home."
… …
Chen Hansheng did not be courteous. The dishes that Lv Yuqing specially made for Little Yu 'er tasted very good.
After Chen Hansheng finished eating the first bowl, Lv Yuqing pointed to the kitchen and said, "There is still rice in the pot. Young people are still growing, they must eat until they are full."
After finishing the second bowl, Lv Yuqing was still very courteous, "Drink some more soup, the nutrition is balanced."
After finishing the third bowl, Lv Yuqing did not know what to say, "Leave some space in your stomach to eat some fruits, it will help with digestion."
"Auntie Lu, the food that you make is much more delicious than my mom."
Chen Hansheng said sincerely, "In the future, every time I have a holiday, I want to directly live here."
Lv Yuqing smiled, "If you have time during the holidays, just come and eat here. Auntie welcomes you to live here, I am just afraid that your parents will be worried."
After finishing the meal, Chen Hansheng pretended that he wanted to go and wash the dishes, but Lv Yuqing refused, "Little Yu 'er, come over and help. You and Old Xiao can go and watch television."
Chen Hansheng reckoned that the two of them had something to talk about, and thus, he followed Xiao Hongwei to the living room to watch television.
Old Xiao was angry in his heart, thus, he did not want to bother with Chen Hansheng. However, this fellow did not feel awkward at all. With the remote control in his hand, Old Xiao comfortably leaned on the sofa and changed the channel.
" is still a grassroots program right now, there is not so much fancy stuff."
"Woah, this shot is really terrible, it is really unreasonable to not give it to Yao Ming."
" is already in its third season, but I only remember the characters in the first season."
… …
Xiao Hongwei let out a sigh, thinking to himself, if I don't speak, Chen Hansheng will be able to perform a monologue by himself.
"How are things on your side recently?"
Xiao Hongwei asked with a straight face.
Only then did Chen Hansheng lower the volume of his voice, and talked a little bit about the promotion of Rocket 101, as well as the part-time consultant in New Century Electronics Factory, "In short, right now, I am just laying the foundation. The more solid the foundation is, the faster I will be able to develop when the time comes, and the more money I will earn."
"Oh, then how long do you think it will take to earn 10 million?"
Xiao Hongwei asked unintentionally.
"10 million?"
Chen Hansheng did not know why Old Xiao brought up this number. He thought for a bit and said, "Let's see if it is fast or slow, if it is slow, I will be able to earn 10 million by the time I graduate."
"Graduate?"
Xiao Hongwei went into a daze for a bit, "Aren't you going to graduate in two and a half years?"
Chen Hansheng nodded his head, "Yes, this is a more reliable and slow method. If it is fast, I might be able to graduate by the end of the year."
Xiao Hongwei turned his head around and looked at Chen Hansheng. Through his subtle movements, he observed whether or not Chen Hansheng was lying. Chen Hansheng also looked at Xiao Hongwei calmly. I am really not bragging.
"It is better to be slow and have a solid foundation, don't be too fast!"
Old Xiao silently turned his gaze back to the television.
Chen Hansheng thought Xiao Hongwei was concerned about him, so he said with a smile, "I know, thank you for the reminder, Uncle Xiao."
After a while, Lv Yuqing and Little Yu'er finished cleaning the kitchen and came out. It seemed that Lv Yuqing did all the cleaning. Little Yu'er just listened to the logic beside her, and her mouth pouted unhappily.
She also gave Chen Hansheng a look. Chen Hansheng understood and stood up to leave.
Little Yu'er quickly said, "I will send Chen Hansheng off."
After going downstairs, Chen Hansheng asked, "What do you want to say to me? Why did you rush me down in such a hurry?"
Xiao Rongyu's face was red. After a long time, she said, "My mother said that we can only date after you have 10 million. How can there be such snobbish parents? The more she said this, the more I disagreed."
"So that is what 10 million means."
Chen Hansheng finally reacted.
"What are you muttering about?"
Little Yu'er looked very angry, "Why aren't you angry? I was so angry just now."
"There is nothing to be angry about. Actually, I was also a little worried, but I didn't show it."
Chen Hansheng shrugged and said, "If I knew that your mother's requirements were so low, to be honest, I wouldn't have bothered to come over. 10 million is just a small threshold."
"Ah?"
… …
In the living room upstairs, Lv Yuqing elegantly picked up the cup and took a sip, "Just now, I talked with Little Yu'er, and I also told her about the threshold of 10 million. I reckon that she is worried about Chen Hansheng right now. I hope that in the future, she can understand my painstaking efforts as a mother."
Xiao Hongwei remained silent.
"Why aren't you saying anything?"
Lv Yuqing felt a little guilty, "Do you feel that what I did was wrong? It was too damaging to the child's self-confidence."
"No."
Old Xiao's voice was a little hoarse, "I was thinking, should I multiply this 10 million by several times?"
