"You sleep so soundly."
"I woke up in the middle of the night needing to use the restroom. No matter how I pushed you, you wouldn't budge, and you even hogged the bed. I'm a grown person, I wouldn't fall off the bed, would I?"
In the morning, Shen Xue sat on the bed, looking at Chen Yang, her lips pouting so much they could hang an oil pot.
His wife was upset.
Pregnant women were like this. Due to the rise in hormone levels during pregnancy, their emotions tended to fluctuate greatly.
Chen Yang patted his head. Was his sleep really that deep? He hadn't felt anything at all.
"I was afraid you'd fall off. Did you get to use the restroom? You didn't wet the bed, did you?"
Chen Yang sheepishly glanced at his displeased wife. Shen Xue, who had been sulking, was immediately amused by his remark.
"You wet the bed."
"Your whole family wet the bed."
Shen Xue was almost driven mad by this guy. Chen Yang rubbed the back of his head.
"My whole family is your whole family, isn't it?"
Hearing his quiet grumbling, Shen Xue wiped her forehead. She couldn't continue, or she'd be angered to death by Chen Yang.
"Get up, get up, I'll get you water to wash up."
Chen Yang hugged his wife, giving her a loving embrace. With him holding her like this, Shen Xue had nothing more to say, and her anger dissipated. Chen Yang knew how to make her happy.
The two little ones also woke up. Chen Yang took the thermos to get hot water for them to brush their teeth and wash their faces.
Then, the family of four happily drank their porridge. Today's was red date and raisin porridge, very fragrant.
Her father and his father, both avid fishermen, had already grabbed their rods and headed to the river. His mother and mother-in-law held basins and went to the river to wash clothes.
This was how it was in the countryside. By the pond or river by the house, the elder and younger wives would wash clothes while chatting about daily life and gossiping about village affairs.
"Take the kids for a stroll in the yard. I'll go wash the dishes."
After breakfast, Chen Yang looked up at the sun. The morning was still a bit cool, so he needed to wear an undershirt. There was some sunshine, warm and pleasant, feeling very comfortable on the skin.
"Brother Yang, Brother Yang, someone's looking for you."
Just as Chen Yang was about to go wash dishes, Zheng Weiguo called out and rushed into the yard.
"Looking for me?"
Chen Yang looked at Zheng Weiguo, wondering why someone would be looking for him out of the blue.
"Boss, Wei Yang is getting married tomorrow, and he asked me to notify you. But look at me, I'm so stupid. I came once last time and couldn't find the right house. I had to ask this comrade to lead the way."
Then Chen Yang saw Lei Baoguo, who looked a bit embarrassed. He had followed Chen Yang to Shenjiaba once before, but it had been several months, so it was normal for him to not remember the way.
"This kid, he's fast."
"Alright, I understand. I'll go congratulate him tomorrow. How are the wedding preparations going?"
As his trusted business manager, Chen Yang would definitely attend Zhang Weiyang's wedding to offer his congratulations.
"Wei Yang's colleagues are all helping. During this time, everyone who worked with Wei Yang has earned quite a bit of extra money. As soon as they heard he was getting married, they booked out the entire cafeteria."
"Wei Yang's old man is overjoyed. He's been smiling every day lately, saying he wants to drink his son's wedding wine and then go to Su Province for treatment, hoping to live a long life and hold his great-grandchildren after his grandchildren."
Lei Baoguo said, a look of envy on his face.
Zhang Weiyang was getting married, and he could return to Jinling to see Li Jing. But he wondered when he himself could marry Li Jing.
During this period, he had traveled around with Zhang Weiyang on business, and they had become like brothers. Now that Zhang Weiyang was getting married, how could he not be envious?
"The old man has a good mindset. His recovery will be even better."
"Don't rush, Baoguo. When you go back this time, buy some nice gifts and visit Comrade Li Jing's family."
"You haven't seen her in so long, remember to buy the girl a gift."
Chen Yang took out the five hundred yuan he had prepared. Lei Baoguo had been following him for so long, and this was his first time returning to Jinling. He had to give Lei Baoguo a good impression.
At the very least, he wanted Li Jing's parents to know that Lei Baoguo had a bright future, so they would be willing to marry their daughter to him.
Once the rear courtyard was stable, Lei Baoguo would follow him more devotedly. When they went to Guangdong Province in the future, that place was even more mixed. Without people with good skills, Chen Yang wouldn't dare to go.
"Boss, I..."
Lei Baoguo held the money in his hand, his eyes instantly reddening.
Although he had seen a lot of the world by following Zhang Weiyang during this time and knew that Chen Yang and the others had made a lot of money, he was just a runner.
Lei Baoguo knew his own worth. Anyone else could do this job; he was just slightly better at martial arts.
Five hundred yuan. If Chen Yang hadn't brought him along to work, he wouldn't have earned this much in five years after returning to the countryside after his military service.
He knew that his parents, who had worked hard their entire lives, had only saved him two hundred and eighty yuan. How could Lei Baoguo not be moved?
He knew that Chen Yang was looking out for him, hoping to help him marry Li Jing. He would remember this kindness for the rest of his life.
He also knew that Chen Yang valued his martial arts skills. If there were any real danger in the future, he would risk his life to shield Chen Yang.
Not for any other reason, but because Chen Yang had sincerely helped him, he could only repay him with his life.
"Between us, there's no need for words."
"Prepare your gifts well. If you're unsure, ask Wei Yang for advice. Aim to get married this year when you go back. If you encounter any difficulties, you can also tell me."
"There will be many hardships ahead, but one thing I can assure you of is that as long as you follow me, Chen Yang, sincerely, I will not treat you unfairly. I never mistreat my own people."
Chen Yang patted Lei Baoguo on the shoulder. He knew Zhang Weiyang's character, otherwise he wouldn't have given him five hundred yuan.
At this time, five hundred yuan was more than a working-class family could save in one or two years, let alone a farmer. His father-in-law had worked hard for half his life and hadn't saved five hundred yuan.
"Boss, I won't say anything else. From now on, Lei Baoguo will follow you. As long as you provide me with food, I will never leave, alive or dead."
Lei Baoguo gritted his teeth. From helping him get back his betrothal gifts to now marrying Li Jing, Chen Yang had always helped him. He remembered all this kindness in his heart.
"You should go back and help Wei Yang with the preparations. I'll go to Qinghe tomorrow to congratulate him."
Chen Yang waved his hand. He had noticed this person back on the train when Lei Baoguo stepped forward alone to deal with the robbers.
Such character could not be bought with money.
It was Lei Baoguo's good fortune to know Chen Yang, but it was also Chen Yang's good fortune to have Lei Baoguo willing to risk his life for him.
Lei Baoguo didn't dawdle. He tucked the money securely inside his clothes and headed back to Qinghe.
Zhang Weiyang was indeed busy with his wedding preparations. He would go help out and learn some experience. He also hoped, as Chen Yang had said, to marry Li Jing this year. Sudán Novel Network.
After Lei Baoguo left, Chen Yang rubbed his chin, thinking about what kind of gift would be appropriate for Zhang Weiyang tomorrow.
This was his business partner for decades to come. Chen Yang valued Zhang Weiyang very much. When a person got married, his boss had to show some appreciation.
