Chapter 382 The Disappointment
You can't expect the whole family to flock to a secure job.

We have to find some other way out, right?

After joking around with his mother, He Yucheng went to tease a few children, asking them to say nice things and wish him great wealth next year.

Lu Chenxi and the others were very supportive!

Wishing you, Uncle/Uncle, a prosperous and lucky New Year!

The chorus of blessings made He Yucheng laugh uncontrollably.

"Come on, I'll take you to set off firecrackers."

For a single man who is well-fed and satisfied, the safest course of action in this situation is to play with the children.

This way, I can avoid my parents' pressure to get married and also fulfill my desire to be the king of children!
It's simply killing two birds with one stone.

It got dark.

The people eating in the main room also began to disperse.

He Lihua and her aunt moved outside and sat under the eaves to watch the children playing in the yard.

At the table, Cheng Guoyuan and the others continued to drink and chat with their elders.

We're all family, and no one was forcing anyone to drink.

Let's have a simple drink and chat.

The laughter from the courtyard outside, and the distant sound of firecrackers, all announced that the last day of another year had come to an end.

Tomorrow will be a brand new year.

My uncle and his family left around 9 or 10 o'clock.

Before they left, they had cleaned the house thoroughly and made it neat and tidy.

Jiang Tang prepared three thermos flasks, which contained her brewed 'ginseng tea'.

Each of the three uncles had a pot to take back and enjoy slowly.

After seeing off their relatives, the triplets were also sleepy.

Firecrackers were still going off in the street, but the children couldn't stay awake any longer and wanted to go to sleep.

He Lihua tidied up and took Chenxi to bed.

Now that the triplets are older, they've started having their own rooms.

The two younger brothers share a room, and the older sister shares a room.

However, since there aren't enough beds and blankets at home when we returned to our hometown, Chenxi had to sleep with her grandma for the time being.

The children had all gone to bed, and Jiang Tang also washed up and went back to her room.

I can't sleep yet; I have to wait until midnight when the firecrackers are set off before I can sleep.

She sat at her desk reading a book.

Lu Changzheng came in from outside after taking a shower, his body still damp.

Seeing his wife still reading under the lamp, he came over and hugged her from behind, telling her to go to sleep if she felt sleepy.

He can just stay and watch over things.

"It's okay, I can manage."

Jiang Tang was very serious.

Lu Changzheng smiled and kissed her eyebrows and eyes.

"it is good."

As he spoke, he walked to the cabinet, took out a small box from the drawer, and returned.

Tell her to open the box and take a look.

"what is this?"

Jiang Tang was curious.

I opened the box and saw a beautiful gold bracelet inside.

In the center of the bracelet, there is also a very simple gold ring.

The gold glowed softly under the light.

"so beautiful!"

The little ginseng loves anything shiny.

She picked them up eagerly. "Are they all for me?"

"Ah."

"new Year's gift."

Lu Changzheng said in a low voice.

He bought this at a jewelry store on the 24th when he went to pick up Tangtang from the street.

He overheard that when a man gives a woman a ring or bracelet, it implies that he wants to keep the person in his life tied down.

He felt that this was a fabricated claim.

It's a scam devised by those shops to sell their products.

But when he passed by the jewelry store, he inexplicably went in and bought a gold bracelet and a ring.

He told himself that he simply wanted to give his wife a gift.

He had no intention of tying Tangtang down.

His wife is always free; he supports whatever she wants to do.

There's a prerequisite: I need to be by his side...

Jiang Tang had no idea that Lu Changzheng had gone through so many twists and turns in buying the bracelet and ring.

She picked up the bracelet and slipped it onto her left wrist; it fit perfectly. Then she reached for the ring.

Lu Changzheng held her hand, took the ring, and gently slipped it onto her ring finger.

A small ring was worn on her fair and slender fingers.

Her skin tone complemented the gold perfectly, and it didn't look dirty at all when she wore it.

On the contrary, my skin felt whiter and smoother, and the gold color was even more dazzling.

It's not just Jiang Tang who loves it.

Lu Changzheng was the same.

However, the one he truly adored was her.

He took her hand and kissed it.

"Stop reading for now, okay?"

"Then what do we need to do?"

Jiang Tang shifted her gaze from the beautiful jewelry on her hands to the man in front of her.

Lu Changzheng's throat bobbed; there was only one thing he wanted to do.

I'll make her feel pain to the core!

It's not yet midnight, and occasionally you can hear the sound of firecrackers from the neighbor's house on the street.

In this warm bedroom lit by a dim, yellow lamp, there could be the occasional sound of the wooden bed rocking and the intermittent sound of water.

Being with someone you love deeply is always a pleasure.

If we were to have a deeper conversation, I would feel an urge to give my life to her.

"Tangtang...wife..."

Under the dim light of the desk lamp, figures intertwined, entwined in tender affection.

.........

He Liye drank quite a bit of alcohol today.

But he wasn't drunk yet.

Cheng Guoyuan was driving, and He Liye sat in the back.

Together with her two in-laws, each holding a grandson.

He Wenjing sat in the passenger seat.

She wasn't drinking, but had a faint smile on her face as she spoke with Cheng Guoyuan.

As the car approached their house, she caught a glimpse of someone standing under a tree by the fork in the road out of the corner of her eye.

After seeing the other person's face clearly, the smile on her face froze.

"what happened?"

Cheng Guoyuan inquired.

He Wenjing shook her head.

"fine."

When the jeep arrived at the courtyard, He Wenjing asked her parents to take the children inside to rest.

She went with Cheng Guoyuan to return the car.

This car belongs to He Liye's company; it's fine to return it tomorrow.

But she insisted on paying it back now.

The elders didn't say anything; they just wanted to do things according to He Wenjing's wishes.

After the three of them, each carrying a child, entered the house, He Wenjing looked up at Cheng Guoyuan beside her.

"My mom is over there."

She doesn't treat her husband like she would an elder.

She has nothing to hide.

Cheng Guoyuan hummed in agreement.

"Want to go there?"

"I gonna go see."

She is, after all, his own mother who gave birth to him and raised him.

If she didn't see it, she could pretend she didn't know.

But now that she's seen it, she has no reason to pretend she hasn't.

"I will go with you."

Cheng Guoyuan was worried about He Wenjing going there alone.

I'm worried they'll start arguing again.

He Wenjing chuckled, "Why are you so nervous? Don't forget what I do for a living?"

She's a police officer, a legitimate police officer.

Why does it seem like in his eyes she's more like a delicate, frail woman like Lin Daiyu who can't even take care of herself?
"Wife, being a police officer is just your job. In life, you will always be my wife."

"I'm your man, it's only right that I worry about you."

Cheng Guoyuan looked at her and explained in a serious tone.

He Wenjing smiled and nodded, "I never said I wasn't your wife!"

As she spoke, she caught a glimpse of Dai Shuang, who was hiding behind a tree, and slowly emerged from behind the tree.
