Xu Erhong rushed over in just a few strides, "When did you get back?"
"Just now?" Xu Niannian laughed at Xu Erhong’s brightly colored pants.
A floral hat was one thing, but floral pants too?
"Uncle, your pants..."
"My pants look good, right?" Xu Erhong, quite proud of himself, took off his hat, "They match the hat, festive." Read full story at NoveIＦire.net
They were festive, indeed, but they looked a bit indecent.
Yang Cuihua said what Xu Niannian didn’t.
"Good looking my ass, what the hell are you wearing? All those garish colors, ugly as sin, don’t you dare say you’re my brother-in-law when you’re out and about."
"Eh, alright, big sis, what brings you to my house?"
Xu Erhong smoothly changed the subject.
Yang Cuihua snorted, "You looking for a beating?"
Xu Erhong burst into an exaggerated laugh and hopped away while Liu Guimei, hearing her husband’s loud laughter, came out with a basin in hand.
"Big sis, you can beat me to death, no compensation needed."
"What kind of nonsense are you spouting?" Xu Erhong wasn’t pleased and brushed his waxed hair, "I’ll divorce you one of these days."
Lately, Xu Erhong had been getting a bit too cocky, even talking back to his wife.
Xu Niannian coughed, "Grandma, did you come over?"
That call of "Grandma" scared the daylights out of Xu Erhong, who reflexively covered his ears and crouched down, "Mom, mom, go easy."
Gao Lihong hadn’t actually come to Nancheng, she was still in the capital.
Seeing Xu Erhong scared like that, Xu Niannian, Liu Guimei, and Yang Cuihua covered their mouths, trying to hold in their laughter.
Liu Guimei even laughed until she cried, "It seems that this good-for-nothing can only be kept in line by our mother."
Their roaring laughter made Xu Erhong realize he’d been had, so he stood up huffily, rolling up his sleeves, pretending he was about to hit someone.
He looked at Yang Cuihua, hmm, he didn’t dare to hit her, then at Liu Guimei, hmm, didn’t dare to hit her either.
Finally, his gaze fell on Xu Niannian, who was smiling like a blooming flower. Xu Erhong felt wronged; she was the family’s treasure. Not only did he not want to hit her, but if he did, he would have to endure the whole family’s wrath.
Xu Erhong felt dejected.
Why was his life so hard?
"Niannian, you’ve learned to be naughty, even daring to tease your uncle."
Xu Erhong stormed off, deciding to go pick on Xu Zhiqiang.
Halfway there, he remembered Jin Yu had called Xu Niannian.
He turned around and snorted, "By the way, Niannian, Xiao Jin called for you. Call him back when you have time."
"Jin Yu is on holiday?" The moment Xu Niannian heard Jin Yu was looking for her, her eyes lit up. She immediately put down her beans and ran towards the factory, even faster than Xu Erhong in front of her.
Xu Erhong pursed his lips, sighing mournfully, "A married daughter is like spilled water, just as well I don’t have a daughter."
He suddenly remembered something, slapping his forehead, "Forgot about Xiaohei."
Xu Sisi, far away in the capital, had no idea that in just a short time away from home, her own father had already forgotten the fact that he had a daughter.
Sitting in the classroom sneezing, she muttered while studying, "It must be Brother Ruiyang missing me."
Jin Ruiyang was very busy, extremely busy. The day after the engagement, he went off to the base and hadn’t returned since.
It made Xu Sisi feel that being engaged was no different from not being engaged at all.
Meanwhile, Xu Niannian ran into Xu Erhong’s office and dialed the home number.
The phone rang several times without an answer. Xu Niannian frowned, where had they gone?
