"Going out to save face for a man?"
After hearing this, Xu Min's eyes narrowed. She didn't expect her brother and sister-in-law to say such things.
After thinking about it, Xu Min said: "Brother and sister, although I am his sister, I don't mean it to him when he says that. Regardless of men or women, face is given to you by yourself. If he does anything to offend you outside, give it to him." What a shame, slap him to death!"
The confusion in Wu Xia's eyes disappeared after hearing the eldest sister's domineering words.
The eldest sister is absolutely right. He is shameless and it has nothing to do with her.
"Sister, it's getting late. I have to go to bed with Xia Xia." Xu Guoping came in with a chicken coop on his head. He had received the education of his mother-in-law's love at first glance.
Xu Min glanced at her brother: "Well, I'll be leaving in a moment. Tell you, be nice to your wife in the future, otherwise neither my mother nor I will be able to spare you!"
"I know, I know." Xu Guoping frowned and said impatiently: "I'll take you back. If you stay here so late with a big belly, I won't worry about my brother-in-law."
Watching the siblings go out, Wu Xia went to the bathroom to wash up and prepare to have an early rest.
Xu Guoping told her before that he would drive Ding Yan's car back to the compound after having brunch at home tomorrow.
They said that the first expressway in the country has been completed and put into use. This will save a lot of time by driving back to Pingcheng from the provincial capital and then to Pangjie. They should be able to get back before 12 o'clock in the evening.
The next day, before Wu Xia got up, she heard the sound of chopping dumplings outside.
"Mom, you woke up so early?" Wu Xia dressed and walked out.
Zhang Cuilan was sweating from her busy work. When she saw Wu Xia getting up, she said to her: "I heard from Guoping that you will go back to the army at noon. I don't think we can have a reunion dumpling together."
"Mom, let me wash up and then help you pack it together." Wu Xia said and walked to the bathroom.
Zhang Cuilan said, "You can go and see the child. I can stay here by myself. The food and other things are all prepared, and there's not much work to do."
Having said that, Wu Xia was too embarrassed to eat ready-made dumplings. After she got the two little ones up, she started to help her mother-in-law roll out the dumpling wrappers.
Just then, the door rang.
Wu Xia clapped his hands on his apron and went to open the door. When he saw Ding Yan standing at the door.
Ding Yan was stunned when he saw it was her.
He didn't sleep well last night and wanted to come over today to find out what the relationship between Wu Xia and Xu Guoping was, but he met her at Xu's house today.
He asked tentatively: "Are you sister-in-law?"
"Yeah." Wu Xia nodded.
Ding Yan: T^THeartbroken...
"Just wait, I'll call you Guoping." Wu Xia said and shouted inside. After 2 minutes, Xu Guoping came out.
"Why did you come to see me so early in the morning?" Xu Guoping asked.
Ding Yan opened his mouth. He couldn't say that he was here to inquire about Wu Xia. It was just that he didn't know the relationship between the two. Now that he knew that they were a couple, he still understood the principle that friends and wives should not play with each other.
"My brothers didn't have much fun last night. I'm thinking of setting up a table for lunch. Can you come too?"
They have been playing together since childhood, and Ding Yan is going to host a table to reveal what happened yesterday.
He glanced at Wu Xia secretly, but he didn't expect that his sister-in-law was quite capable and could find the place where they ate yesterday.
But he was the one organizing the game today, and the place he arranged must be clean. My sister-in-law would not deny Xu Guoping this little bit of face.
Xu Guoping glanced at Wu Xia and said calmly: "I'm not going. I'll spend the New Year with your sister-in-law today."
Ding Yan's eyes widened. He never expected Wu Xia to manage Xu Guoping obediently.
When Wu Xia saw it, he said, "Don't listen to him. We will return to the army soon. If you want to have a party, we will be back in two days."
Xu Guoping hugged her affectionately: "When we get back, how about we invite a table? Let everyone get to know my wife, Xu Guoping."
This feeling of being respected made Wu Xia feel very comfortable, and the relationship with Xu Guoping eased a lot.
After Ding Yan left, she called Xu Guoping to help her mother-in-law make dumplings with her.
After eating the dumplings, her mother-in-law asked them when they would come back. Xu Guoping said it would be around the second day of the Lunar New Year. He had not planned to go home for the New Year before, but now he had to make two trips back and forth to give Wu Xia a sense of security.
Fortunately, Ding Yan has a car, so it is easier for them to go back and forth.
Just after eating, Zhang Cuilan urged them to leave quickly before the two of them could help clean up, fearing that they would be late for the night journey.
Xu Guoping started the car, waved to Zhang Cuilan and pulled Wu Xia and the children towards Pingcheng.
After a hard journey, they finally arrived at the army compound at 10pm.
Seeing the familiar yard and the laughter ringing in the yard, the children couldn't hold it back any longer. As soon as the car stopped, they opened the door and rushed in.
Wu Xia chased after her: "Slow down, don't fall." Xu Guoping hugged her waist from behind and said to her: "Don't worry, they won't fall if they walk here with their eyes closed."
Fat sister's house was brightly lit, and they heard the door ring. Fat sister's son came out and opened the door. When they saw Mengmeng coming, the two little guys hugged each other happily.
Fat Sister and Company Commander Cao also came out. Fat Sister pulled Wu Xia over: "You are tired, I will make dumplings for you right now! Go up to the room and rest."
Company Commander Cao took Xu Guoping to drink with the soldiers who could not go home. The atmosphere in the room was extremely lively. The smile on Wu Xia's face never stopped sitting at the table.
People at the table happily ate until 12 o'clock. Company Commander Cao took the lead and led everyone to set off firecrackers. Wu Xia was afraid that Mengmeng was afraid and held her in his arms and plugged her ears with his fingers.
After the crackling sound, everyone ushered in the new year.
Xu Bing dragged Mengmeng to Wu Xia and Xu Guoping, and bowed to them.
"Mom and Dad, happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year!" Wu Xia had already prepared red envelopes for the children, each containing 10 ten-yuan cards.
After receiving the red envelope, the two children smiled from ear to ear. They looked at Xu Guoping again. Mom gave a thick red envelope. Where was dad?
Xu Guoping looked at the two children looking at him eagerly and touched his pocket in embarrassment. He had forgotten about it a long time ago.
He coughed pretentiously to the children: "That red envelope was given to me by my mother together."
Seeing Wu Xia looking at him, he whispered: "I will compensate you later. It won't be free of charge."
After sending the children to bed, Xu Guoping pestered Wu Xia angrily.
"What time is it and you're still not sleeping?" Wu Xia rolled her eyes at him angrily.
Xu Guoping bit her earlobe: "I'm here to pay off my debt, Xia Xia. I usually have to repay my debt overnight."
Only then did Wu Xia realize that this guy wanted physical repayment.
She directly kicked the man aside, but the man shamelessly followed her up again. After a lot of back and forth, Xu Guoping finally paid off his debt to his satisfaction.
