1979: Literary Master, Starting from the Return of Educated Youth

Chapter 252: Man's Happiness

Outside the window, the cold wind swept across the treetops, blowing away the few remaining yellow leaves, making the whole world even colder and more bleak.

Inside the house, Xu Yuexin turned on the heating to make the surroundings as warm as spring.

Zhu Chen bit her red lips lightly, leaning in his arms with a dazed look on her face, a little nervous.

"I'm... a little scared."

"Can you be gentler later?"

"Well, don't be afraid."

Xu Yuexin gently stroked the large area of ​​snow-white skin on Zhu Chen's back and comforted him softly.

Soon, the two of them lay on the bed in a tight embrace...

……

At noon, Zhu Chen lay lazily on the bed, with a pair of long and beautiful legs exposed from under the towel blanket, and his expression was delicate and satisfied.

"Are you hungry?"

Xu Yuexin gently stroked Zhu Chen's snow-white shoulders and said.

"Hungry."

Zhu Chen nodded slightly.

"Let's go out to eat."

After Xu Yuexin finished speaking, he took out a sweatshirt and put it on his head, then took out a cashmere sweater.

Zhu Chen also slowly put on his clothes, and stood up with the help of the bedside table, feeling extremely sore all over.

After going out, Xu Yuexin found a mutton noodle restaurant and ordered a bowl of noodles for each of them.

After eating the noodles, Zhu Chen said he really wanted to go home.

"Is there any emergency?"

"Yes, I have to go back to read."

“There’s no rush to read.”

Xu Yuexin said domineeringly, "Let's go out for a walk."

Zhu Chen did not object. After the baptism just now, she began to subconsciously listen to Xu Yuexin in everything.

After paying for the noodles, Xu Yuexin took Zhu Chen out of the noodle shop and strolled along the street.

In the 80s, Dongcheng had the most prosperous business district in the entire capital.

Xu Yuexin took Zhu Chen for a walk along the street and finally stopped in front of a gold shop.

Now that individuals can buy gold jewelry, the gold shops are packed with customers, and you can't even see what's going on inside from the outside.

"Buy some gold."

Xu Yuexin and Zhu Chen said, and took her into the store.

The store was packed with people. Xu Yuexin and Zhu Chen looked through the gaps in the crowd and went to a counter.

In this counter, there were heavy gold items, including gold necklaces and gold bracelets.

"Which one do you like?"

Xu Yuexin asked Zhu Chen.

Zhu Chen's eyes lingered in the counter for a while, and finally shook his head: "Let's look at something else."

She felt that the gold jewelry in this counter was too heavy and too expensive.

Xu Yuexin saw through Zhu Chen's mentality.

"If you like it, just admit it."

After saying that, he looked at the salesperson and said, "Give her this necklace and this bracelet to try."

"Okay, comrade."

The salesperson opened the cabinet from the inside, took out the necklace and bracelet and handed them to Zhu Chen.

Zhu Chen took the necklace and bracelet hesitantly and put them on.

“It’s just right.”

When the clerk saw Zhu Chen wearing it, he immediately praised her with a smile, "Lady, you look particularly noble when you wear it."

She didn't compliment him because the necklace and bracelet were both chosen by Xu Yuexin.

"Weigh it."

Xu Yuexin said to the salesperson.

"Let's change it."

Zhu Chen suggested as he took off his necklace and bracelet.

"Why change it? Since it looks good on you, just buy it."

Xu Yuexin said without allowing any discussion.

The salesperson took the necklace and bracelet and weighed them. They weighed a total of 31 grams, mainly the weight of the bracelet. According to the current gold price plus the processing fee, the total cost was 1240 yuan.

Xu Yuexin paid the money out of his own pocket and personally put the necklace on Zhu Chen's snow-white neck.

Zhu Chen was originally dignified and handsome, and with the necklace and bracelet as a contrast, he looked even more elegant and noble.

In a nutshell, the Queen of Daughters walked off the screen.

Zhu Chen was very happy when she first put on the jewelry, but she looked thoughtful after she walked out of the store.

"Why, what are you thinking about?"

Xu Yuexin asked when he saw this.

"If my parents asked me where the jewelry came from, I wouldn't know how to answer."

"That's easy. Just say it's the prize money. I bought it with my savings from my previous job."

Xu Yuexin said without hesitation.

Unless they have received professional training, it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the difference between 24K gold and colored gold jewelry.

Using this excuse, I should be able to get away with it in front of Zhu Chen's parents.

"Okay, I'll tell them that."

Zhu Chen agreed and smiled again.

After buying the gold, Xu Yuexin took Zhu Chen back to the Duke's Mansion and drove her back to Keyuan Community.

Keyuan Community was also Xu Yuexin’s former home, and he has not been back for a long time.

Currently, this is mainly where his sister lives when she comes home, and his parents also come back occasionally.

After seeing Zhu Chen off, Xu Yuexin returned to the Duke's Mansion. At this time, Chen Qiaoqiao had also gotten off work.

She walked into the hall happily, with a smile on her brows.

When Xu Yuexin saw his wife's expression, he roughly guessed what had happened.

"Has the official appointment been made?"

Xu Yuexin asked.

"Yes, deputy director of the department."

"The deputy general manager in charge also said that our director will retire in three years, and he plans to let me take charge of the department next year."

Chen Qiaoqiao sat down at the table, took a sip of water and spoke very quickly.

"This is a triple jump, from section chief to department director."

Xu Yuexin was very happy to hear this and said, "Come, let me add something hot for you."

My daughter-in-law just started working last summer, and now, in more than a year, she has been promoted to deputy director and is on the verge of becoming director.

Fast, so fast.

Even in this era of rapid promotion of cadres, she still moves at the speed of a rocket.

"However, if I am promoted again, I may have to be sent to a branch company for training."

"Where to go may not be something I can choose at that time."

Chen Qiaoqiao took two more sips of water and said to Xu Yuexin in a negotiating tone, "If the place is far away, will you be able to accept it by then?"

Xu Yuexin was very moved after hearing this.

Generally speaking, after achieving success in their careers, both men and women focus on their own future.

It is very rare that a daughter-in-law is willing to discuss things with me when she sees a bright future.

What more can a husband ask for when his wife is like this?

"I definitely support you."

Xu Yuexin said without hesitation, "Maybe I will go with you then and take care of you."

"So you're not doing business anymore?"

"You can stop for a while. Nothing is more important than your body."

"If you are alone outside and no one is taking care of you, your health will easily deteriorate."

"Well... let's see when the time comes. It won't be good to delay your business."

Chen Qiaoqiao didn't expect to hear such an answer from Xu Yuexin, and her heart suddenly felt warm.

Since Chen Qiaoqiao was promoted, the two of them invited Chen Yixiu to dinner in the evening, and as usual, Xu Yuexin went to pick her up.

After a sumptuous meal, Xu Yuexin went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, while Chen Qiaoqiao and her sister talked in the hall.

"Xin-ge really takes good care of me."

Facing her sister, Chen Qiaoqiao was quite emotional and repeated to her sister what Xu Yuexin had just said to her.

Hearing her words, Chen Yixiu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It is really difficult to evaluate Xu Yuexin.
