In the courtyard, everyone is afraid of the little boy who is so smart!

A blush appeared on Cheng Erhua's face. He raised his hand unconsciously and scratched his head a little awkwardly, looking like a child who had done something wrong.

He looked away, not daring to look directly at Wang Jianguo. He stammered a few times before he stammered:

"Brother Jianguo, am I... am I really that obvious?"

There was a hint of embarrassment that was hard to conceal in his words, and his voice became lower and lower, as if he was afraid of being heard by others.

Wang Jianguo looked at Cheng Erhua's embarrassed look and glared at him fiercely in annoyance.

There was a hint of disappointment in his eyes, mixed with some ridicule. He raised his voice and said:

"What do you think? Every time Yang Chan appears, you stare at her straight in the eyes. It's as if you can see through her."

"It's almost as if your eyes are growing onto Yang Chan! You said you wanted to get in touch with her before, but it's been a while now, what's going on?"

"What's going on between you two now? Have you confirmed your relationship? Don't keep dithering like this. Tell me if there's any progress."

As Wang Jianguo spoke, he crossed his arms over his chest, leaned forward slightly, and his face was full of curiosity and eagerness.

Obviously, he was very concerned about Cheng Erhua's relationship status and was waiting for Cheng Erhua to reveal some new information.

In that era when emotional expression was relatively reserved and introverted, social atmosphere was not as open as it is today.

People's thoughts are mostly hidden deep in their hearts, especially the emotional matters between men and women, which are like being lightly covered by a layer of gauze, and everyone is a little shy and timid.

Cheng Erhua was a reserved person to begin with, and he felt uncomfortable when Wang Jianguo asked him about his relationship status so directly.

As if being illuminated by a strong light, his face instantly turned red, and the blush spread from his cheeks to his ears, as if blood could drip out.

He lowered his head slightly, his eyes staring at his toes in panic, his hands constantly tugging at the corners of his clothes, his lips trembling, as if he wanted to say something.

However, he was tightly bound by his inner shyness and could only utter some unclear and hesitant sounds.

It's like a string of clueless notes floating in the air, making it difficult to grasp the meaning.

Wang Jianguo looked at Cheng Erhua's embarrassed look and couldn't help feeling a little anxious. He leaned forward.

He frowned slightly, stared at Cheng Erhua closely, and said in a raised voice:

"Hey, you are a real man, can you be more straightforward in your actions and words?"

"What are you embarrassed about? Just say it out loud. Don't be so fussy. What a shame!"

Wang Jianguo's urging seemed to have touched a nerve in Cheng Erhua. He took a deep breath, as if to build up his courage.

After a while, he finally raised his voice a little, with a tremor in his voice and a bit of uncontrollable joy, and whispered:

"We...we just confirmed our relationship."

After saying this, a faint blush appeared on his face again, like the sunset on the horizon, with a halo of happiness in his shyness.

Wang Jianguo's face, which was already filled with anticipation, instantly blossomed into a brilliant smile, and his eyes lit up, as if he had heard some great news.

He patted Cheng Erhua's shoulder excitedly and said loudly with joy:

"Really? Oh, that's great! I didn't expect you two to progress so quickly!"

As he spoke, he raised his head slightly and a hearty laugh escaped from his throat, a laugh filled with sincere joy and blessings.

"Today is the official opening day of our supply and marketing cooperative. This is a great day! In the evening, I will ask Yu Shui to prepare some delicious dishes."

"Let's all celebrate together, and celebrate your and Yang Chan's new relationship at the same time."

Wang Jianguo's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm and generosity, and his words were like a warm spring breeze, soothing Cheng Erhua's somewhat nervous heart.

"But,"

Wang Jianguo's expression suddenly became serious. He pointed at Cheng Erhua with a warning look in his eyes.

"You have to work hard for me and stop flirting with me while working like you did just now."

"We are a supply and marketing cooperative, a place for doing business. If other customers see this, there will probably be some misunderstandings, which will be bad for the reputation of our supply and marketing cooperative."

"Look at Yang Chan, she's so steady and sensible, and she focuses on her work, unlike you who are so unsteady."

Cheng Erhua's face flushed slightly. He lowered his head embarrassedly and nodded gently, like a child being taught a lesson after making a mistake.

He raised his head, with a firm look in his eyes, and said to Wang Jianguo:

"I understand, Brother Jianguo. I...I will definitely pay attention to my behavior and will never make the same mistake again."

"I promise you that I will work hard in the future and focus on the supply and marketing cooperative. I won't let you down."

Although his voice was still a little nervous, it was full of sincerity and determination.

It seemed that at this moment, he had secretly vowed in his heart to find the right balance between work and love.

Wang Jianguo looked at Cheng Erhua carefully and saw that he was standing straight with a serious and earnest expression on his face.

His eyes were wide open, staring at himself without blinking, as if waiting for a solemn trial.

Wang Jianguo's words, which he originally wanted to say, were suddenly stuck in his throat because of the serious look on his face.

He opened his mouth slightly, but then closed it helplessly, thinking that since the child had already expressed his opinion, if he continued talking, it would probably backfire and dampen his enthusiasm.

So Wang Jianguo gently waved his hand, and his voice became much gentler, and said:

"Okay, stop standing there like an idiot. Go get to work and remember what you said."

Cheng Erhua felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He quickly turned around and walked quickly towards his work station. His steps were brisk, as if he had escaped from a stressful exam.

Wang Jianguo turned and walked towards the kitchen. Before he entered the door, he heard a slight noise coming from inside.

He walked into the kitchen and saw He Yushui's slender figure shuttling back and forth between the stove and the chopping board, busy as a whirlwind.

Without saying a word, Wang Jianguo immediately walked to the pool and rolled up his sleeves skillfully, all in one go.

It seems that he is ready to work hard and help He Yushui with some housework.

But before his hand touched the food, He Yushui turned around abruptly as if she had eyes on her back, with a look of anger and determination in her eyes.
