After finishing the formalities, Chu Qianqian pulled Xu Guiju and Lao Duan out of the office and stood under the window at the end of the corridor.

He whispered, "Aunt Xu, Brother Duan, you should know something about my wife's situation. I am also busy with tasks now and often have to go on business trips with my boss.

Therefore, whenever I come back from a business trip, I will go to the mountains. One is to take care of my old employer, and the other is, I am getting married soon. It is not easy to raise children and respect my father-in-law's family without making some money.

As for us, it’s still the same as before. I’ll bring in the big fish and game and prepare some useful things for the street. How about that?”

Xu Guiju still didn't know that Chu Xiangqian and Lao Duan had tacitly agreed to use the money from the street treasury to buy the game and big fish that Chu Xiangqian got.

But Chu Xiangqian knew very well that if she didn't reveal some clues to Xu Guiju, she might not accept the game he gave her.

When she accepts it, it will mean that both of them have little secrets that are kept by others, and it will be easier to establish a relationship.

And this relationship will be very strong.

Besides, even if Xu Guiju wanted to deal with herself, she would not dare to make a fuss about the street game exchange.

Otherwise, she would offend Lao Duan, Director Cao, Duan Hongmei, everyone on the street, and even the Xue family.

Therefore, Chu Xiangqian is not worried at all about what trouble Xu Guiju will get into if he finds out about this matter.

Lao Duan frowned at first, but then he thought about it, and when he looked at Xu Guiju, he saw her smiling and nodding to him, and he immediately understood.

He said to Chu Xiangqian, "Okay, just follow the previous rules. However, I will not leave the one hundred yuan purchase to those two guys, Yan Jiefang and Liu Guangtian."

Chu Xiangqian nodded hurriedly, "Even if you want to leave it to them, I won't worry about it. How about you?"

Speaking of this, Chu Xiangqian's eyes have already looked at Xu Guiju.

Lao Duan's eyes lit up, he smiled and explained to Xu Guiju in a low voice.

Xu Guiju felt relieved after hearing this. 100 yuan of unplanned purchasing funds every month is a lot for an individual, but for an organization, it is very little.

At present, a pound of meat costs 2 yuan, which is only 50 pounds of meat, which is not enough to feed more than 20 people on the street for several days.

If it were a big fish, it would only weigh 250 pounds.

Divided among 26 people, it is less than 10 kilograms per month and only 3 taels per day.

But just these three taels of fish are enough to satisfy everyone on the street.

Xu Guiju knew that if she didn't agree, she would be guarded by Chu Qianqian, Duan Jidong, Xue Hongmei, and even the director.

"Okay, I'll take care of this."

Chu Qianqian was overjoyed, "In the evening, I will send someone 200 kilograms of dried fish and a 70 to 80 kilogram dried and processed wolf meat. I will treat that wild wolf as a wild wolf. I would like to thank Aunt Xu and Brother Duan for their support in the future."

My wife’s care.”

Duan Jidong and Xu Guiju smiled. Xu Guiju even patted her chest and promised, "Don't worry, your wife will be my niece from now on. If anyone bullies her, I will immediately go to the district to file a complaint."

Chu Xiangqian hurriedly thanked him, knowing in his heart that no ordinary colleagues would be foolish enough to trouble Xue Jinglan after they knew that she was Xue Hongmei's niece and Chu Xiangqian's wife.

Anyone who dares to look for trouble is naturally well-founded.

But Xu Guiju went to the district to complain, and keeping it would make the other party unable to eat and walk around.

When the storm comes in a few years, Xu Guiju, a propaganda cadre, may gain momentum.

If you establish a good relationship with her, many things in the future will become easier.

After the business was settled, Xu Guiju followed him to the office of the University of Public Security and Science on the first floor after hearing Chu Qianqian say that he was going to see Xue Hongmei to catch up with the past.

When Xue Hongmei heard that Chu Xiangqian had taken care of Lan Lan's work, she pretended to be dissatisfied and said angrily to Chu Xiangqian, "Xiao Chu, are you not giving me a chance to show off to my aunt?"

Chu Qianqian hurriedly waved his hand, "Isn't it because Aunt Xu sees that you have many things to do, so she wants to find a subordinate to share some of the chores with you?"

Xu Guiju laughed and secretly said that Chu Xiangqian was a good person. He obviously contributed, but he gave the credit to himself. No wonder everyone on the street liked him.

After not chatting for long, Chen Huaili came out of his office after hearing the voice. He saw that it was Chu Xiangqiang. He smiled and shook hands with Chu Xiangqiang, pretending to be an old friend again.

Then he took the opportunity to call him into his office and gave him an envelope.

When Chu Qianqian looked at it, he knew it must contain money. He took it without thinking for a few seconds and put it into his pocket.

------

In the evening, Chu Xiangqian and Xue Hongmei came to Xue's house for dinner. The family heard that Chu Xiangqian had taken care of Xue Jinglan's work, and they couldn't help but tease the two of them.

Chu Xiangqian didn't panic at all, but Xue Jinglan lowered her head to eat rice with a red face, but she felt very sweet in her heart.

Just thinking that Chu Qianqian would have to leave tomorrow made me feel bad again.

When the two of them went for a walk in the evening, Chu Xiangqian found a place where no one was around as usual. While bullying the little girl, Xue Jinglan drowsily put her arms around Chu Qianqian's neck and murmured, "Brother Qianqian, you want it."

Me!"

Chu Qianqian, who was mastering the two peaks, was stunned, and then heard Xue Jinglan continue, "I want to give you a child. When you are not with me on a business trip, I will take good care of our child."

What he said was sincere. Chu Qianqian let go of the two peaks and hugged Xue Jinglan tightly. "Wait for me when I come back. We will get married. Then we will have three or five children. I will keep your head from being disturbed by the children."

Big."

Xue Jinglan pouted and patted Chu Qianqian a few times, "The children I give birth to will definitely be good babies. Not only will they not make trouble for me, they will also help me take care of my younger brothers and sisters."

Seeing that Xue Jinglan's attention was diverted, Chu Xiangqian immediately lied to her about how difficult it was to raise a child.

This made Xue Jinglan feel a little worried, but within a few seconds, the girl snorted, "Then I will only take care of the children's lives from now on, and you, the father, will be responsible for their education."

Chu Qianqian laughed, "Okay, okay, then I will be responsible for beating the children, and you, the mother, will be responsible for pampering them."

Xue Jinglan was dissatisfied and hit Chu Qianqian on the shoulder a few times, then frowned and asked, "What if the baby is a daughter?"

"I actually prefer daughters." What Chu Xiangqian said is not a lie. A person with a modern mindset like him doesn't care whether it's a son or a daughter.

Moreover, they are encouraged to have more children these days. After ten or twenty years, it is normal to have seven or eight children.

You can't be like Hong Zhennan, who was so unlucky that he gave birth to six daughters and only got a baby son in his 50s.

On the contrary, families with only one or two children are the exception.

Xue Jinglan thought Chu Xiangqian was just comforting herself. She put her pretty face on Chu Xiangqian's chest and muttered, "I will definitely have several sons. When the time comes, you bully me, I will ask my sons to help me."

After hearing this, Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes. Could it be that a few boys dared to beat his own father?

The two of them whispered until late at night, then reluctantly returned to Xue's house.

But when they arrived at the door, Xue Jinglan took Chu Qianqian's hand and said, "Brother Qianqian, how about I go pack your luggage tomorrow morning?"

Chu Xiangqian wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Then I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

"No, no need," Xue Jinglan said with a smile, "Last time when I had dinner with Aiyuan, she told me that you live in Nanluogu Lane. I will ride my bicycle there tomorrow morning and buy some fried dough sticks and steamed buns for Aiyuan, Aiguo and Aimin.

For breakfast."

When Chu Xiangqian heard this, he knew that the little girl felt that as her sister-in-law, she had to learn how to take care of her sister-in-law and brother-in-law.

After kissing Xue Jinglan, he used his pocket as a cover and took out a stack of 10 yuan worth of money and a dozen 5-pound food stamps from his storage space.

In Xue Jinglan's surprised eyes, she said, "When I'm not at home, you can go and play with Aiyuan. You may also invite Aiyuan, Aiguo, and Aimin out for dinner.

Also, when there are festivals, on my behalf, you can send something to my second uncle, third uncle, your grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles.

Also, you and Aiyuan can get my monthly ration together.

If there are not enough at home or from my second and third uncles, you can bring them back or ask Aiguo and Aimin to send them back to the forest farm.

However, you don’t want to take the things you gave to my second and third uncles, otherwise it won’t be safe, do you understand?”

Xue Jinglan happily took the money and tickets, and after a random count, there were twenty-four pieces of money, which was 240 yuan.

As for food stamps, there are 85 kilograms.

He asked with a puzzled expression on his face, "Brother Qiang, do you always carry this kind of money and food stamps with you? Or are these money and food stamps used by you when you go on a business trip?"

Chu Xiangqian said hurriedly, "I originally wanted to leave the money to you, but I couldn't find a suitable reason before. Since you, a little girl, want to give birth to a child for me.

The money and tickets at home will naturally be left to you, the mother, to take care of."

Xue Jinglan's face turned red, and she twisted around in Chu Qianqian's arms in embarrassment, but as if she had drunk honey, she carefully put the money and tickets into her pocket.

The two lingered for a while, until all the lights at home were turned off, and Xue Jinglan realized that it was already very late.

I opened the door cautiously and saw that there was no one on the first floor. I turned around and hugged Chu Qianqian's neck and kissed him for a while before reluctantly sending Chu Qianqian out.

As for dragging him into her room, no matter how courageous Xue Jinglan was, she couldn't do it.

After a night of silence, Chu Xiangqian woke up early the next morning and went into the Novice Village as usual to kill all the monsters that spawned.

Get up and go out to practice boxing. After Aiyuan gets up, tell her to cook some millet porridge and tell her that Xue Jinglan will come back in the morning.

Aiyuan's face lit up, "Brother, does this mean that you and your sister-in-law are really settled."

Chu Qianqian smiled and nodded, "I have made an agreement with your sister-in-law's parents to get the marriage certificate after her 18th birthday. The treat day is also scheduled to be on the seventh day of the tenth lunar month this year."

Aiyuan was so happy that he hurried to the backyard to wake up Aiguo and Aimin and dress up so as not to leave a bad impression in front of his future sister-in-law.

However, after all, Aiyuan is more sensible than most people of his age. Although he is so happy that he wants to shout, he repeatedly tells him that he loves his country and loves his people, so don’t show it everywhere.

Even with a roll of his eyes, he told him to love the country and the people and sit down to cook millet porridge, while he changed into clean clothes and ran to the entrance of the alley to wait for Xue Jinglan.

If Xue Jinglan comes early, drag her around the neighborhood until most of the people at work have left, then take her to the courtyard.

Lest any young man with no eyesight pester his future sister-in-law.

If Chu Xiangqian knew what his sister was thinking, he would definitely laugh and scold her.

He and Xue Jinglan are just one step away from each other. Now that they are like this, there is no need to worry about any young man or lady competing with him for his wife.
