Chapter 121 This "son-in-law" is happy
The two walked down the stairs together intimately, and Chen Xueru turned around and instructed the employees in the store:
"You guys take care of the store, we're going to have a meal."
The shop assistants at the original place immediately greeted her smartly: "Okay, Miss." "Take care, Miss, and take care, Master."
Chen Xueru responded with a low “hmm”.
She quietly hid behind Hou Jie, avoiding the gazes of several people. Her eyes revealed a hint of satisfaction and warmth.
When Hou Jie heard several people calling him "son-in-law", he was immediately overjoyed.
The upward curve of his mouth almost reached the back of his head, as if the floodgates of endless joy were instantly opened. He added excitedly:
"You are great! I like the way you are called 'son-in-law'. After work, go to the Yongchang Grain Store next door and take home ten kilograms of flour each as a reward for you."
When the shop assistants heard about this benefit, they were even happier and praised in unison: "Son-in-law is very generous!"
"My uncle is so generous!"
One of the sweet-mouthed girls even cleverly complimented: "I wish you and your young mistress a happy marriage, forever and ever!"
Hou Jie was overjoyed when he heard these auspicious words. He pointed at the clever guy and said with a smile: "You are very good. Add another ten kilograms to show encouragement. Keep it up! I am rooting for you!"
Soon after, other shop assistants also rushed to express their blessings: "Young Master and Young Miss, may you have a baby soon!"
"Young Master and Young Lady, you are a perfect match!"
"Young Master and Young Lady, a perfect match!"
Their little mouths were like machine guns, spewing out beautiful compliments one after another.
Hou Jie was delighted and nodded repeatedly: "All is good. After work, everyone will receive an extra ten kilograms of flour. Otherwise, you are not giving me face."
He gave a thumbs up, glanced at a few people, and said complacently: "This 'son-in-law' is reliable."
Chen Xueru, who was standing next to her, looked at the scene in front of her. Her originally tense face finally couldn't hold it tight anymore and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.
At this moment, I wish I could crawl underground.
She gently pulled Hou Jie's arm, and without caring about her modesty, she urged him to leave the shop quickly: "Oh! Go, go, it's so embarrassing, don't stay here."
"You annoying bastard! Don't come here again. These girls are becoming more and more lawless."
Hou Jie turned around and looked at Chen Xueru's eyes that were filled with both anger and smile, as well as her little fist that was hitting her back from time to time, and he felt a lot of fun in his heart.
As soon as they left the store, Chen Xueru wanted to beat Hou Jie. "You annoying guy, I've tolerated you for a long time. Now wait and see how I'm going to deal with you, so that you won't be so thick-skinned and talk nonsense."
There was no way Hou Jie would let him hit him, so he just got up and walked away.
"Hey! I can't hit it. I can't hit it."
"I'm hiding, hey. If I hide again, come and chase me if you dare!"
Hou Jie dodged and made faces at Chen Xueru.
On the way, the two of them walked out while bickering, leaving behind a lot of laughter.
Chen Xueru couldn't help but listen to the shop assistants' laughter and joking from afar.
When the elderly men passing by on the roadside saw the two of them, they all smiled knowingly, felt extremely envious, and sighed, "It's just right to be young."
The two of them walked briskly to the tavern deep in the alley with joy in their hearts.
As soon as the door curtain was opened, a mixture of the aroma of aged wood and rich smell of wine hit me in the face.
Chen Xueru, who was here for the first time, couldn't help but be dazzled and quickly followed him into the tavern.
There were a few tables of guests sitting scattered around the store, eating and drinking.
When the busy old man He heard the noise, he looked up and saw the guest coming. He quickly put down the work in his hands and greeted him enthusiastically:
"Welcome to our shop."
He looked at Hou Jie carefully and recognized the guest who had once left a deep impression on him.
Hou Jie smiled and nodded, and responded, "Manager He, you are too polite."
Old Man He said, "But you are here early again, sir."
Hou Jie replied, "It's okay. Just prepare some food this time. Two taels of white wine, a portion of cooked beef, some peanuts, and the rest is up to you."
After hearing this, Old Man He understood what he meant and responded quickly: "Okay, okay, please wait a moment, I will prepare it for you right away."
After a while, a table full of delicious food was presented in front of Hou Jie and Chen Xueru.
After the two of them sat down, Chen Xueru sat next to Hou Jie and remained silent. After all, this was her first time in such a tavern, and she was still reserved and restrained as a girl.
When Hou Jie saw this, he felt warm in his heart. He knew that Chen Xueru was considerate of his feelings.
Old Man He was busy greeting the two of them. When everything was ready, he turned to Hou Jie and said, "Who is this...?"
Hou Jie introduced with a smile: "This is my fiancée Chen Xueru. If she comes to dine in the future, please put her on my bill, Manager He." After hearing this, Old Man He's eyes lit up and he looked at Chen Xueru carefully.
She was wearing a fine silk dress. Her eyebrows were as black as ink, her eyes were as affectionate as autumn water, her lips were as red as cinnabar, and her smile was as beautiful as a flower. She was indeed a peerless beauty!
Old Man He was full of praise in his heart, thinking to himself: "What a perfect match of talent and beauty!"
It's really enviable that Hou Jie has such a beautiful woman by his side.
He glanced at his adopted son, He Yongqiang, who was lazing around not far away, and frowned. In contrast, Old Man He felt mixed emotions and was filled with deep feelings.
But he also understood: "This is all fate! Alas..."
Hou Jie stood up from his seat, his movements were skillful and natural. He first came to Chen Xueru's table and gently filled Chen Xueru's glass with wine.
Then, he turned to the plate in front of Chen Xueru, carefully picked out a few pieces of brightly colored and attractively textured beef with chopsticks, and gently placed them on her plate. Although this series of actions was simple, it revealed Hou Jie's meticulousness and consideration.
"Xue Ru, try the side dishes in this restaurant. How are they? This restaurant has been open for decades. I brought you here specially. I had a good meal here last time."
When Chen Xueru saw Hou Jie's actions, the joy flashing in her eyes was like the brightest stars in the night sky, and she could not hide it.
"Thank you, Chunsheng."
She took the wine glass, shook it gently, and felt the texture of the wine flowing in the glass. Her heart was already filled with happiness.
Although the guests at the nearby tables did not have any direct contact with Chen Xueru, their eyes were involuntarily attracted to the beauty who had just entered the store.
"This girl is so beautiful!"
"Yeah! This guy is so lucky! It's really enviable. But you know what, he's quite good at coaxing girls."
Seeing Hou Jie's thoughtful gesture, the guests nodded in praise.
I think this young man is a caring and considerate person. With such meticulous care, it is no wonder that he can capture the heart of such an outstanding beauty.
Encouraged by Hou Jie, Chen Xueru picked up the pieces of beef with chopsticks, gently put them into her mouth, and chewed them carefully.
She savored the rich layers of beef on her tongue, experienced the delicate touch of the muscle fibers when chewing, and the mellow meat aroma instantly captured by her taste buds.
After swallowing the last bite of beef, Chen Xueru couldn't help but savor it carefully, a satisfied smile appeared on her face, and she objectively commented: "The food in this restaurant is really good, especially the beef, which has a good taste and is very tasty."
