The longed-for village system

Chapter 208 Dinner Party
Huang Bo naturally wouldn't refuse. The old fox's cooking was quite good. Compared to eating out, he would naturally choose to have a big meal, especially since this gathering had a different meaning.

Teacher He was even less likely to refuse; he couldn't be happier to have dinners and drinks with friends every day! Besides, this was indeed a joyous occasion worth celebrating, and they deserved a good meal.

"Okay then, let's pack up and go to the market to buy groceries! Xiao Chen, go back and tell Xiao Gu to come here for dinner tonight."

Without further ado, Huang Sanshi got up, tidied himself up, and headed to the market.

Chen Qing nodded, got up, took out his phone, and dialed Zhao Xiaogu's number, asking her to come to the Mushroom House for a big meal later. Of course, Zhao Xiaogu agreed immediately; she hadn't had a meal with her friends in a long time.

The appearance of four grown men together at the market naturally caused quite a stir, as these four are all top-tier celebrities. Many people took photos and videos of the four and uploaded them online, leading to speculation that this episode's guest was none other than award-winning actor Huang Bo.

The four of them bought groceries and returned to the Mushroom House. On the way, they passed a hotel and thought of picking up Huang's father, but Huang's father declined, saying that the elderly should not participate in their gatherings. Huang Bo did not insist on this, as he knew his father's personality.

Although he is his father, he is still not used to interacting with celebrities. After all, he is older and there is a generation gap when communicating with them.

"Teacher Huang Bo, Teacher Huang, Teacher He." Zhao Xiaogu stood up and greeted them again as they entered.

"Little Bone's here! Congratulations, congratulations!"

"Yes! Congratulations! I didn't expect to become a mother-to-be so soon."

"Xiao Gu, please sit down! We are guests in your home now, so there's no need to be polite with us older brothers. Your most important thing right now is to have a safe pregnancy."

Hearing Huang Bo, Huang Sanshi, and Teacher He's words, Zhao Xiaogu wasn't surprised that the three of them knew about her pregnancy. She smiled and replied, "I didn't expect to get pregnant so soon. It's quite a surprise."

Zhao Xiaogu naturally didn't need to help with this meal. Even if she wanted to, Teacher Huang and the others wouldn't allow her to go into the kitchen. In the end, the two Teacher Huangs worked in the kitchen, while Teacher He, Chen Qing, and Zhao Xiaogu sat outside chatting and resting.

"I really didn't expect Xiao Chen and Xiao Gu to move so fast. They met in the first episode of our fourth season, and before the show even ended, they were already married and their child is almost a month old." Huang Sanshi couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the three people chatting under the stage.

"Young people are so fast! But I think Xiao Chen and Xiao Gu are a good match. Although I haven't spent much time with Xiao Chen, I can tell he's a rare person worth getting to know better. Xiao Gu is also known for her seriousness in the industry. I think these two will create a wonderful story." Huang Bo also expressed his optimism about the two of them.

Huang Sanshi neither confirmed nor denied Huang Bo's assessment, but he affirmed the character of both individuals; otherwise, he and Teacher He would not have tried to match them up in the first place.

Outside, Teacher He was also lamenting how quickly time flies.

"Should I marvel at how fast time flies, or are you two just too quick to act? You met in the first episode of this season, and before all 12 episodes of this season are even over, you two have not only gotten your marriage certificate, but now you even have a child. Young people are really something!"

“But it’s good this way. With a child, your family will be perfect and complete. Xiao Chen will become Old Chen soon.” Zhao Xiaogu smiled silently beside her. She also felt that Teacher He was right. A complete family must be made up of people with different identities. In particular, her husband had been an orphan since childhood, so this child must be more important to him than to others.

After getting married, she planned to have children. Besides reaching a certain age, one of the most important reasons was that she wanted Chen Qing to experience family affection.

Chen Qing smiled and acquiesced to Teacher He's teasing, saying, "Hey Lao Chen! As people live in this world for a long time, their status naturally upgrades. Whether you like it or not, I'm very happy to accept such an upgrade."

Teacher He wasn't surprised by Chen Qing's insightful nature. Chen Qing was already much more insightful than most people, so they often forgot his age.

“That’s right, such an upgrade is a great thing in life.” Teacher He said with a smile, and then gave some advice, “Then you two need to pay extra attention for the next period of time. If there is anything you don’t know, you can call your older brother. She just gave birth last year and knows a little about this.”

"Okay! Once things stabilize, I'll call my brother if there are any problems later on, and I'll also remind her to prepare the lock."

Last year, when Na Jie gave birth, she gave away two gold locks. This year, she's determined to get one back, otherwise she'll be at a huge loss.

"But we're not worried about that. Our young Chen is a miracle doctor who can even treat terminal illnesses like cancer and Alzheimer's. Ensuring your safety and the safety of your child is a piece of cake. We're just waiting to become uncles."

"Shouldn't you call him Grandpa?"

Chen Qingpi's personality kicked in, and he teased Teacher He. This age-related joke always works.

"Then you should call me uncle first, otherwise there's a generational gap." Teacher He retorted to Chen Qing, "How could a host with so many years of experience like me lose in a verbal battle?"
“Teacher He, let’s each talk about our own things. It won’t make Xiao Gu and me feel old to call you brother, but it won’t make much of a difference if our kids call you grandpa.”

“Brother Chen is right. If we call Teacher He Grandpa, you have to give our child a big red envelope. That way, I can make up for all the losses I suffered with Sister Na.” Zhao Xiaogu nodded in agreement.

Teacher He gave a wry smile at Zhao Xiaogu's sudden jabs and ulterior motives, and replied to her, "Zhao Xiaodao is still the same Zhao Xiaodao. Her jabs have gotten even better after marriage. Are you two going to follow each other's lead? Trying to take my place. If you're so capable, why don't you have twins too!"

Zhao Xiaogu said she wanted to have twins too! Ideally, she would have twins, a boy and a girl, to solve the problem at once, but fate had already revealed the answer to her: the first child she would give birth to would be a girl.

She dreamed about him before their relationship was even very close. In the dream, they got married and lived in Manyuan Village. Their first child was a little snowball. Now the dream has come true and they have really gotten married. So the child must be real.

When the topic of children came up, Teacher He asked Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu for their opinions: "Do you two prefer boys or girls? Have you thought about the gender of your child?"

"Brother Chen likes girls, and personally, I hope to have one girl and then one boy, to make a perfect family," Zhao Xiaogu replied to Teacher He with a smile, stroking her lower abdomen.
