Zhou Zheng told Xu Guoping what he learned. It turned out to be this. No wonder Wu Xia was anxious to explain it to him.
However, she might not know that he had asked someone to inquire about her before, who was with the same person before getting married, and now that he thought about it, he was still a little bit happy.
If the Lu family hadn't disagreed with their marriage, he wouldn't have been able to meet Xia Xia, but this was no reason to forgive him.
Xu Guoping asked: "He has made arrangements?"
Zhou Zheng nodded. He stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Xu Guoping. His fingers made a crackling sound: "Everything is arranged. I will give him a big meal tonight. I will make him regret his behavior today."
Xu Guoping really wanted to handle this matter in person, but now Wu Xia was so clingy that he couldn't leave. He told Zhou Sheng, "Brother, please help me keep an eye on this matter. The key is to ask him out." How do you know your sister-in-law works at the Cultural Bureau?"
After he came back, he thought about it and felt that something was not right. Zhou Sheng replied: "You stay here with my sister-in-law, and I will definitely take care of the rest for you."
While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door again. When they opened the door, they saw Huang Yan standing outside.
She was holding a lunch box in her hand and said to Xu Guoping, "I thought you might not have time to eat at night, so I brought you some food."
Hearing Huang Yan's voice, Wu Xia shouted for her to come over.
She had regained a lot of energy now. When she saw Huang Yan bringing food, she held Huang Yan's hand movedly and said, "You are so good to me. If I were a man, I would definitely marry you home."
Huang Yan glanced at her: "What do I want from you? You have to find me a real man."
Is this girl looking for a partner?
Wu Xia blinked and said, "Okay, I'll definitely keep an eye on you. By the way, don't forget to come and warm the pot for me next week."
She had already thought about it, and planned to ask Xu Guoping to call Zhou Sheng over that day to match them up.
"Okay, okay, how could I forget to warm the pot for you? I also prepared a gift for you."
Wu Xia took her hand and said, "You are really my good sister."
Huang Yan smiled: "You just know, don't forget me if good things happen in the future."
"That's for sure. Who makes us good sisters?"
Wu Xia chatted with her for a few words and felt a little tired. Xu Guoping and Zhou Sheng just finished talking, and Zhou Sheng and Huang Yan left together.
The family building was quite big, and Huang Yan was afraid that Zhou Sheng would get lost inside, so she sent him to the road leading to the exit. The two of them walked one behind the other and had a good chat.
At home, Xu Guoping served Wu Xia for dinner. After she drank all the chicken soup Huang Yan brought, she broke out in a thin layer of sweat and her spirits finally recovered.
"Guoping, please go home early, the children are still waiting for you."
Although he saw that she was fine, Xu Guoping was not worried about letting Wu Xia stay here alone. He thought for a while and said, "Xia Xia, come back to the compound with me tonight, and let Mengmeng keep you company?"
Wu Xia nodded: "That's fine."
After the two packed up their things, Xu Guoping took Wu Xia back to the compound on his bicycle.
Mengmeng didn't expect her father to come back with her mother. She was so happy that she was about to rush towards Wu Xia, but she was stopped halfway by Xu Guoping.
He said to Mengmeng: "Your mother is not feeling well today. Don't let her hug her. Don't tire her out."
Only then did Mengmeng notice the gauze wrapped around Wu Xia's neck. She stood still and pointed at her little face with her finger: "Mengmeng doesn't need to be hugged by her mother. Mommy kisses Mengmeng."
"Mengmeng is so good, give me a kiss, mom." Wu Xia slowly knelt down and kissed her little face. When he looked up, he saw Xu Bing looking at him with envious eyes.
From that time on, Xu Bing seemed to be a different person. Every time he saw him, he looked cautious and wanted to get closer. But when he took a step toward him, he flew away like a frightened bird.
Wu Xia didn't intend to add to his psychological burden, so she nodded slightly as a greeting to him, and then asked Mengmeng: "Have you eaten?"
"have eaten."
Seeing that she wanted to take care of the child, Xu Guoping quickly said: "You are responsible for resting here today, and you don't need to worry about anything else."
He said to Mengmeng: "You take good care of mom here, and dad will get you water to wash up."
"Yes." Mengmeng nodded like a little adult, then took Wu Xia's hand and walked to the bed.
Wu Xia was shaken by her pull, and Xu Bing quickly came over to hold Wu Xia's other hand.
Wu Xia smiled at him without rejecting his kindness, and came to the bedside with the support of the two children.
Soon, Xu Guoping brought back the boiling water. He asked Mengmeng to learn how to wash her face and feet by herself, and then started to help Wu Xia wash up.
Wu Xia did not refuse his help, but in front of the children, she tried her best to do it herself, but Xu Guoping was not willing to do it.
He whispered in Wu Xia's ear: "Don't be shy. Let them learn how a husband should take care of his wife. It will be a good thing for them in the future."
After saying that, he couldn't help but roll up his sleeves and kneel on the ground to help Wu Xia take off his shoes and socks.
Ten minutes later, Wu Xia's face was flushed, her eyebrows were relaxed and gentle, and she looked like she was being treated well.
When she was in a good mood, Wu Xia began to tease Mengmeng: "Mengmeng, my mother's house will be all tidied up during the weekend. Can you come as a guest?"
"Okay!" Mengmeng had been waiting for this day for a long time. She blinked and said, "Mengmeng wants my brother to accompany me."
Xu Bing pricked up his ears when he heard this. Would his mother agree? He had done so many wrong things before, and he didn't dare to think that Wu Xia would agree to be a guest. As long as he could listen to his sister come back, he would be satisfied.
"Xu Bing, do you want to go?" Wu Xia asked.
When Xu Bing heard Wu Xia talking to him, his face turned red with excitement, and his mouth remained open for a long time without saying a word.
Seeing Wu Xia looking at him, Xu Bing was so anxious that he was sweating. He finally uttered a sentence and stuttered a little.
"Think... think about it."
"Okay, then you go with Mengmeng." Wu Xia's words made Xu Bing even more excited, and he directly picked up Mengmeng and spun around.
Seeing the innocent smiling faces of the children, Wu Xia also laughed.
Soon, it’s the weekend.
On this day, Wu Xia went to the market early to buy vegetables. By about ten o'clock, everyone was almost there, only Xu Guoping did not show up.
"Zhou Sheng, where is Xu Guoping?" Wu Xia asked as Zhou Sheng brought the child over.
"Captain Xu will be here soon if anything happens."
Looking at his eyes, Wu Xia suddenly had a bad feeling. She couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter with him?"
"Well······"
Being looked at by Wu Xia like this, Zhou Sheng felt sweating on his forehead. He hesitated and said, "It seems that his classmates are looking for him."
"Female classmate?" Wu Xia asked.
