Chapter 373 [Hand tail]

Ou Xiuhua's reaction was a little slower than that of Xiao Yezi, and then she saw Xiao Yezi screaming and throwing herself into her son's arms.

Xiao Zizi's face was covered with tears, but he kicked, hit and bit Chen Nuo.

"Didn't you say that I would live with you from now on?

You said, if I am obedient, you will not let me go!

You also said..."

By the end of the story, the little girl had burst into tears. The child had cried out all the fear, worry, and panic she had accumulated over the past year.

Chen Nuo allowed his sister to kick and beat him, but he gently picked up Xiao Yezi, turned around, looked at Ou Xiuhua who was already lying on the ground, and took a deep breath.

"That...is back. I'm sorry for making you worry."

Ou Xiuhua's lips trembled as she stared at her son, as if she wanted to see Chen Nuo into her own eyes. She also held her breath hard, as if she was afraid that if she took a breath, the scene in front of her would be like an hallucination.

Dissipated.

There was a snap.

An unexpected voice broke the deadlock, and the stick in Hou Changwei's hand fell to the ground.

Lao Hou looked at Chen Nuo and then at Ou Xiuhua: "Um...is this your son?"

Ou Xiuhua said nothing, biting her lips and staring at Chen Nuo, but she stood up tremblingly.

Chen Nuo put down Xiao Zizi and glanced at the middle-aged man with some surprise.

"Who are you?"

"I am... your mother's colleague." Hou Changwei suddenly became nervous.

"Have you eaten yet?"

"……without."

"Then stay and have dinner together?" Chen Nuo said with a smile.

·

Hou Changwei actually stayed for dinner.

In fact, instinctively, he felt that he was not suitable for someone else's family, so there was something wrong with him.

but……

The accident just happened.

The Chen family didn't have anything to eat at night.

Originally, Ou Xiuhua asked Hou Changwei to come up because she wanted to keep him for a simple meal, then have a cup of tea and talk to him.

We don’t have much food at home. We have some dumplings made by ourselves in the refrigerator, two fried vegetables, and some fried peanuts. That’s about it.

Talking about things is important.

But Chen Nuo came back, and looking at the instant noodles, he looked like a starving ghost reincarnated.

Suddenly an idea flashed in Hou Changwei's mind, and he took the initiative to go downstairs to buy groceries.

I chopped half a salted duck, a pound of Liuhe pig head meat, a box of cold kelp knots, and a box of cold yuba and peanuts.

They are all the favorite food of Jinling people.

Ou Xiuhua cooked two plates of dumplings and a bowl of noodles at home.

It is said that you should bring dumplings when you go out and noodles at home, but that is a custom in the north, and the south does not pay attention to this.

Jinling is a city in the south of the Yangtze River, so naturally there is no such rule.

The dumplings are filled with leek and egg, which Chen Nuo likes to eat.

The salted duck is very fragrant and the pork head meat is very glutinous and soft.

Hou Changwei sat at the Chen family's dining table, holding his chopsticks hesitantly and looking at the family of three curiously.

Ou Xiuhua was a little distracted. She kept staring at her son, as if she was afraid that this son would suddenly disappear in the blink of an eye anytime and anywhere.

In front of outsiders, Ou Xiuhua finally had some sense and did not ask Chen Nuo any questions. Chen Nuo, on the other hand, kept talking to Lao Hou.

"Master Hou also works at XX Property"

"Oh, logistics driver, he's very good, very good, and works regularly."

"How old is Master Hou this year? Is it time for your children to go to elementary school?"

"Oh... that's such a pity. I'm sorry, Uncle Hou, I shouldn't have asked blindly." Look, as soon as he heard that he was an old widower, Master Hou immediately became Uncle Hou.

Chen Nuo is not stupid, he is a good person.

When I walked in, I saw this middle-aged man holding a stick in his hand and protecting Ou Xiuhua and his wife behind him...

So what else can’t you understand?

Chen Nuo was not disgusted.

To put it simply, he really regards Xiao Zizi as his sister.

But, it’s really impossible to think of Ou Xiuhua as her mother!

Chen Yanluo in his previous life was already middle-aged when he died. How could the soul of a middle-aged man consider Ou Xiuhua, who was only in her forties, as her mother?

My feelings towards Albert Ou are guilt + sympathy.

Sympathy means sympathy for Ou Xiuhua's ups and downs in life.

Guilt is guilt for taking over someone else's son's body.

Since she is not a mother, if a man pursues Ou Xiuhua, Chen Nuo is also happy to see it happen. As long as his character is good enough, why should Chen Nuo be awkward?

Ou Xiuhua next to her saw Chen Nuo always chatting with Lao Hou, and her heart was full of anxiety.

I haven't asked you all these questions yet, but you're here to ask questions about my affairs?

Lao Hou was also on pins and needles.

The half-grown young man in front of me looks young, and his appearance is delicate and fair, but as soon as he speaks, he always feels like he can't control himself.

Next to her, Ou Xiuhua's eyes were also shining brightly.

Lao Hou almost felt like he was dating a girlfriend when he was young, and then followed his girlfriend home to meet his parents.

Subconsciously, Lao Hou unknowingly took out the box of Hongtashan he bought: "That, smoke..."

Suddenly I was stunned and realized something was wrong.

How old is my son? It’s not certain whether he is allowed to smoke at home.

Chen Nuo looked at Lao Hou's awkward behavior while handing out the cigarette, smiled, reached out to take it, lit it, and took a sip, then turned around and opened the drawer from the cabinet next to him, and took out an unpacked Huazi.

, knocked out a package, tore it open and handed it to Lao Hou.

"Uncle Hou, you smoke this. You adults, you should smoke something good and don't smoke your throat. It doesn't matter to us young people, we can't smoke anything good.

I bought this cigarette as a pretense when doing business, and I don’t smoke much myself.”

Either say that Chen Gou is a dog. In two sentences, all aspects of emotions are taken care of.

Lao Hou was an honest man and didn't understand the meaning, but he also felt that these words made him feel smoother when he took the cigarette, and he seemed to have no resistance in his heart.

Little Leaf is very coaxable.

As a child, emotions come and go quickly.

Chen Nuo was eating and chatting with Lao Hou. From time to time, he would set up a piece of salted duck, tear off the bones and throw the duck meat into the leaf bowl.

Little Ye Zi didn't like eating duck skin. It seemed that even girls didn't like it because it was too fat. Chen Nuo also tore off the skin and threw it into his own bowl.

Xiao Zizi ate happily and sat on the chair next to Chen Nuo. Her brother fed her a piece, and she ate one without saying a word.

The meal lasted about forty minutes. After finishing the meal, Chen Nuo asked Lao Hou to drink a bowl of dumpling soup together.

The original soup is the original food.

Finally, they smoked a cigarette together again before politely letting Lao Hou go back.

Ou Xiuhua didn't say anything about the matter between herself and Lao Hou. It can't be discussed today. It's not urgent. It can be discussed any day.

She felt like a cat was scratching her head, and she had a lot to ask her son.

·

"Uncle Hou, let's go slowly. Come to our house for dinner when you have time."

Standing at the door and watching Hou Changwei leave with a smile, Chen Nuo closed the door. When he turned around, he saw Ou Xiuhua's anxious face without any surprise.

"Chen Nuo!!"

Ou Xiuhua's face was solemn: "Come here quickly and sit down!"

Chen Nuo sighed.
