The silly and sweet spring of crossing

He Lanyuzhi received a reply soon after his invitation.Cao Lian accompanied his wife to the lantern festival before, and he also heard from his wife that the lantern master who planned the lantern festival opened a shop in Xinfang City, and later he asked the boy to buy lanterns and hang them up.So after seeing He Lanyuzhi's greeting card, he happily made a time to meet him.

The gift to Cao Lian this time is still a picture of calligraphy, even this painting is exactly the same as the one given to Qin Chengbi.

Qiu Baichen watched as He Lanyuzhi wrote the exact same words again, saving even the need to re-buy materials, and the boxes used for packaging were also the same, all bought nearby.

"You are too dishonest, you use the same one, and I don't make so many of the same lamps." Qiu Baichen carefully packaged the words, and complained to He Lanyuzhi.

"Even if the good things are the same, some people want them." He Lanyuzhi said, Qiu Baichen didn't understand his self-confidence, he suffered a loss last time, but this time it's the same.Can't figure it out, can't figure it out, Qiu Baichen simply can't figure it out, so he just doesn't think about it.

"Daddy is going out today, and Chu Liu has to listen to Auntie today." Qiu Baichen kissed Xiao Chu Liu hard on the cheek, causing her face to turn red.He Lanyu was speechless, but Xiao Chuliu was very happy, so he kissed back and hugged Qiu Baichen's neck, and after a while he let go to play.

Qiu Baichen and He Lanyu arrived at Cao Lian's residence in a carriage.At first glance, Cao Lian's place was not as luxurious as Qin Chengbi's house. They knocked on the door, and the housekeeper welcomed them politely. When they arrived at Cao Lian's study, Cao Lian was reading a book.

"Please sit down." Cao Lian still smiled and asked Qiu Baichen and He Lanyu to sit down.

"Hello, President." Qiu Baichen greeted him.

"What are you being polite about? I'm falsely older than you, as long as you're in the same generation." Cao Lian said, putting the book aside.

"Brother Cao." In fact, Qiu Baichen wanted to call Brother, but this way of calling him was too intimate and too modern, so he changed his name as soon as he turned his tongue.

Cao Lian was quite happy.

"My wife heard that you were coming, and she told me that she would cook by herself. I wonder if you brought lanterns today." Cao Lian said.

"I didn't bring any lanterns today." Qiu Baichen said, and then took out the presents.

When Cao Lian saw the box in his hand, he was also a little curious about what gift it was. He took the lettering from Qiu Baichen, opened the box and unfolded it slowly, smiling even wider.

"This is really precious." Cao Lian said, although he had no chance to go to school before, but after becoming an apprentice, the master treated him very well, and he worked hard, so he learned to read and write, and his quality in this area is not bad. , I can tell at a glance that this is Xie Jin's word.

"May I ask, it takes more than ten days to travel from the capital to Xinfang City, but this character is new. I'm afraid it has only been written for a few days. Is it really Mr. Xie's character?" Cao Lian asked.

"Of course." Qiu Baichen said first, a little embarrassed to be seen through.

"Of course not." He Lanyu said, "I imitated it."

Qiu Baichen didn't expect He Lanyu to speak so bluntly, but felt that his face was burning up and down, and it was too embarrassing for someone to expose his lies, and he was still one of his own.But he immediately recovered his smile, wanting to see Cao Lian's reaction.

It was also the first time Cao Lian met such a straightforward person, but instead of getting angry, he smiled happily.

"This word is enough to confuse the real one. Tomorrow, I will ask someone to frame it and hang it in the study." Cao Lian said, "I read the greeting card. This time, you are here to join the chamber of commerce. Why don't you go directly to the president?"

"I went there a few days ago, and the gift I gave was the same." Qiu Baichen also told the truth. After he finished speaking, he saw Cao Lian's expression was very exciting. He wanted to laugh but couldn't hold it back. His face was slightly distorted.

He took a sip of tea before regaining his composure.

"President Qin likes Mr. Xie's calligraphy the most." He said, "It seems that I will frame this calligraphy and hang it in the chamber of commerce tomorrow."

By saying such things, he had already shown to Qiu Baichen and He Lanyuzhi that he and Qin Chengbi were in opposition, and he even wanted to get angry with Qin Chengbi again.Qiu Baichen thought that Cao Lian was very interesting. Although he was ordinary in appearance, he was very attractive, and he spoke more straightforwardly, with a hint of cunning.

"I don't know what grievances and grievances there are between you and President Qin. However, Qiu Xiandi saved face for our Da Chu in front of Princess Jubei before. Joining the Chamber of Commerce is naturally a trivial matter. You will come to me tomorrow to handle the formalities. Cao Lian said, "My wife likes the lanterns made by Brother Qiu Xian very much, especially the fairy lantern at the door. She has always regretted that the fairy lantern is not for sale, and wants to order one to put in front of our shop."

"Of course you can. Madam sister-in-law can go and see what you want." Qiu Baichen said.

"Then I have an unfeeling request. How about He Xiandi to write a signboard for my shop? My wife has always said that the signboard of Jinxiu Lantern Shop is well written, and it should be written by He Xiandi." Cao Lian requested Quite a few, "My wife has always had a vicious eye, she must be very good if she says yes."

Cao Lian made quite a few requests, Qiu Baichen just laughed, it's not difficult to achieve anyway, He Lanyu nodded, it's not difficult.

"My wife has already prepared dinner, and the two virtuous brothers can stay and eat before leaving." Cao Lian said, "Later, if my wife sees that the two are too handsome, I can't help but introduce my younger sisters to you." You guys, don't worry about her."

Cao Lian smiled slyly, and was caught by Mrs. Cao who pushed the door in.Mrs. Cao didn't say anything when she saw the outsider, she just glanced at him.

Qiu Baichen looked back at Mrs. Cao. She was about the same age as Cao Lian. She was wearing a long lake green dress and a jasper hairpin on her head. She already looked like a woman, but her figure was not bad.She doesn't look too good-looking, her nose is not straight enough, and her lips are a little thinner, but her skin is fair. Like Cao Lian, she is the type that makes people feel comfortable.

"He must have bad-mouthed me again. The meal is ready, let's go and eat together." Mrs. Cao has a straightforward personality, and her hands are a bit rough. When she and Cao Lian started a business together, they did a lot of kiln work.Now she returns to work in the kiln most of the time, and rarely cooks at home.They have a son and a daughter, and now they are both studying outside, the school is strictly controlled, and they come back every ten days.

"That's not true. I just said something and you came." Cao Lian quickly defended, and Mrs. Cao walked away with a straight face for a while, and couldn't help laughing.The two thought that there were outsiders around, so they didn't show intimacy, but the affection between their brows and eyes couldn't be hidden.

Although it was the first time we met, Cao Lian would make people feel that he was his old friend, and he would not feel awkward at all.The food cooked by Cao Lian's wife was also delicious. Although Qiu Baichen wanted to be more polite, he still ate so full that he almost couldn't straighten up when he left.

"Then let's go first." Qiu Baichen and He Lanyu bid farewell to Cao Lian and Mrs. Cao, and made an appointment to meet the next day.Sitting on the carriage, Qiu Baichen rubbed his belly, it seemed that he had eaten more recently, did he really gain weight?

After Qiu Baichen finished rubbing his stomach, he wanted to pinch his face, but before he lifted his hand, his face was pinched.He looked at He Lanyuzhi, He Lanyuzhi's expression was normal, and he took his hands back after pinching his face, as if nothing had happened.

"Am I getting fat?" Qiu Baichen had this kind of worry for the first time, and he didn't worry about it when he was pregnant with Xiao Chu Liu, and after giving birth to Xiao Chu Liu, it didn't take long for him to return to his previous state.But now he ate too much, and his stomach seemed to be full of meat.

Qiu Baichen looked at He Lan Yuzhi with a melancholy expression.

"Not fat." He Lanyuzhi said, Qiu Baichen burst into tears with gratitude, no matter what, you still have to eat something delicious, at worst, go out for a walk, and bring Wang Xianduo out to play.

Qiu Baichen and He Lanyuzhi arrived home not long after. By the time they got home, it was already dark. The room of Wang Xian and Lu Ping was already dark, but the main room was still lit. When the two went in, they saw Xiao Chuliu lying on the bed. Sleep soundly in bed.Qiu Baichen touched Xiao Chuliu's face, looked at his son for a while, and then went to wash up.

"He Nan, Little Junior Six seems to be more and more like you." Qiu Baichen said, "It is said that children look like whoever they follow, maybe it is true."

Qiu Baichen said to He Lanyuzhi while wiping his body, He Lanyuzhi was stunned when he heard the words, did he think Xiao Chuliu looked like him, Xiao Chuliu's face shape was very similar to Qiu Baichen's, and he could tell at a glance Know it is his son.But Qiu Baichen didn't seem to be sensitive to this, he only felt that Xiao Chuliu was like He Lanyuzhi.

"To be honest, if you have a girl you like, you can bring it back. At that time, we will change to a bigger house, and we will live together." Qiu Baichen scrubbed clean, changed into clean dirty clothes, and went to bed to get ready for sleep.

"Then do you have a girl you like?" He Lanyu asked.

"Well." Qiu Baichen was a little taken aback when he heard him say that, and he came back to his senses after a while.

"I'm a sixth grader now, so it's not easy to find," he said.Since his original body was pregnant, he was probably gay before.Qiu Baichen didn't know if he was gay or not, but it was quite strange to let a girl come over and become a stepmother.

"There's nothing hard to find." He Lanyuzhi's voice was a little cold, but Qiu Baichen didn't feel it.

"I think I'm still young, so I'm not ready." Qiu Baichen is only 20 years old now. In modern times, the legal marriage age for men is 22. Although he was older than this age, he didn't think too much about it. Things, no one in the family cared about him, so he just let it go.

"I'm younger than you."
