"What?!"
Xue Yun took two steps back fiercely, looking at the two people's closeness, and said with a shocked expression: "You... Isn't this too fast?"
Although Xiao Gu and Leng Xintong have been together for a long time.
But in just less than two or three years, the two of them have reached the stage of discussing marriage, which is really unexpected.
"Oh, it's not that fast."
He waved his hand.
The carefree Lengxintong smiled slightly, then stroked his flat belly and said politely: "After all, although Xiaogu and I can wait, the child in my belly cannot wait."
ha? !
As if he had been struck by lightning, Xue Yun was instantly petrified on the spot, and his hair almost exploded.
"No, it's not..."
He glanced at Xiaogu, who had a shy expression, and Lengxintong, who had no embarrassment at all and had a calm face.
Xue Yun suddenly felt that the nature and attitude of this man and woman were simply rare in the world.
The so-called contradiction is nothing more than this...
"Good boy!"
He stepped forward and patted the thin shoulder.
Xue Yun grinned and said: "Unexpectedly, you are not only the first among our group to get married and start a business, but you are also the first to officially become a father!"
He lowered his head honestly.
Xiao Gu was as dull and taciturn as ever, but the joy in his eyes could not be concealed at all.
As a former servant, he never expected to have his own name and identity, let alone the unimaginable happiness of a family like getting married and having children.
And it was only after meeting Xue Yun that he gradually dared to touch and pursue the meaning of life.
"brother......"
He raised his head and looked at Xue Yun.
Xiaogu's eyes were full of gratitude, and he said hesitantly: "Thank you."
He was slightly startled.
He sighed helplessly.
Xue Yun was feeling happy for Xiaogu from the bottom of his heart at this moment, and said with a smile: "Since we all say we are brothers, there is nothing to thank you for..."
Seeing this, everyone laughed and said nothing.
Because of Xue Yun, everyone was fortunate enough to be together, and invisibly, an extremely deep friendship was formed.
This kind of bond has actually gone beyond the ordinary partnership, and is more like a family that helps each other.
"Oh my god~~~"
Suddenly there was a ghostly cry from the side.
Zhuge Gangzhi raised his head to the sky and screamed, with a frustrated expression: "The boss has Sister An, Hu Kui has Sister Hua, and now even Xiao Gu has a heart child, why am I the number one soft rice king in Dragon City, and I am still alone... ....”
For a moment, everyone was speechless.
"Oh, I'm hungry."
He put his arms around Zhuge Gangtang's shoulders.
Xue Yun rolled his eyes silently, and dragged the guy into the mansion. As he walked, he said: "Aunt Liu, hurry up and start dinner, don't let our soft rice king also go hungry. Otherwise, all the rich women in Longdu will be depressed because of him tonight!"
After some laughter and scolding, everyone happily gathered in the dining room.
There was still a large table of delicious food. Needless to say, Aunt Liu’s craftsmanship was still on par. Everyone started eating and chatting and laughing, enjoying the rare time together.
During the banquet.
Leng Xintong suddenly proposed that after the wedding, Xiao Gu would move out of the luxurious villa on Taiping Street and could no longer live with Xue Yun.
The main reason is that she is pregnant and needs more care. The couple also has their own life to live. After the child is born, Xiaogu will have to take on the responsibility of being a father.
Xue Yun took this for granted.
Anyway, Leng Xintong's family can be considered a famous family in Longdu, and with the relationship between Xue Yun and Hu Kui, even if there is some suspicion of marrying into the family, Xiao Gu will not really be treated badly.
Everyone chatted about some trivial matters, and the final topic invariably focused on the prospects of the Great Xia Empire.
"well......"
Drink the wine in the glass in one gulp.
At the dinner table, Shi Kelang's old father couldn't help but let out a long sigh, shook his head under the influence of alcohol and said: "This time, our Daxia Empire may not be able to escape doom."
As soon as these words came out.
The dining room, which had been bustling just now, suddenly became silent.
"Damn it, you drank too much!"
He patted the table gently.
Aunt Liu immediately became unhappy and scolded her in public: "You are an ordinary citizen, why are you just joining in the fun here? Are important matters of the family and the country something that people like you can discuss casually? Shut up!"
"Smelly bitch, you know nothing!"
As the saying goes, drinking makes people brave.
After a few glasses of old wine, Shi Fu at least stood up mentally and shouted uncharacteristically: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. If the world is really in complete chaos, one of us here will count, and no one can be immune. Why can’t I discuss it anymore?!”
Hear the words.
Aunt Liu originally wanted to stop her, but was suddenly interrupted by Xue Yun.
"Auntie, don't be impatient."
Put down the dishes in your hands.
Xue Yun looked at Father Shi seriously and said, "I have nothing to do anyway, and I would also like to hear your uncle's opinion."
no doubt.
If people stand at a high place, they can indeed see further, but relatively speaking, they will no longer be so grounded.
Faced with the recent chaos in the Daxia Empire.
Xue Yun really wants to know how ordinary people who are truly at the lowest level of society view this situation.
Looking at the problem from another angle may actually be of great help in grasping the situation in the future.
"Uncle, tell me."
Raise your hand.
Xue Yun looked solemn and said calmly: "I'll just listen."
Suddenly——
The entire dining room became silent. Everyone stopped and looked at the ordinary middle-aged man in front of them.
Close your eyes.
Father Shi at the dinner table took a deep breath and raised his hand to pour himself another large glass of wine.
He raised his head suddenly and drank it all.
The man who had been a coward for half his life immediately turned red, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.
"If you really ask me, the war between the royal family and the princes has nothing to do with us ordinary people. It is just a civil war for power, but it is still us ordinary people who suffer!"
There was a pause.
Father Shi looked at his honest and honest son, raised his hand and stroked the back of the heads of the twin daughters beside him, and shook his head silently.
"Once the war breaks out, we will no longer have such peaceful days as we do now. The royal family and the major princes will definitely kill each other in order to compete for territory. The Night Watchmen can still have their way in the middle, but as for us, we can only be treated as if we are waiting for them. They are like lambs for slaughter, allowed to be slaughtered and sold at will!"
War is always accompanied by bloodshed and sacrifice.
In that environment, the lives of ordinary people will only become bargaining chips in the hands of both sides in the war.
Men will be reduced to strong men and cannon fodder, while women will become cheap playthings and tools.
The world is in chaos.
It will become an opportunity for some people with evil intentions, but for ordinary people, it will only be a terrible disaster.
Families were broken up, wives and children were scattered.
How many people will be displaced and how many will become victims of power struggles.
How could the high-ranking dignitaries think about these issues? This is just like humans treating humble animals. What does your life and death have to do with me? !
But unfortunately, humans... are not animals after all!
