Chapter 1208: How Could I Make a Joke About This

Originally, Liu Chuxue had prepared a red envelope containing sixteen yuan, but now that she was unhappy, she used her willpower to pull out the ten-yuan note as she took out the red envelope, leaving only six yuan inside.

Seeing through the glass that Xia Qiu's younger brother in her arms was sucking on his little hand, a trace of softness kindled in her heart.

This little fellow certainly knew how to win people over; he had immediately caught Liu Chuxue's eye, and she couldn't help but think in her heart: If the little fellow isn't spoiled rotten later on, giving him a timely helping hand wouldn't be a bad thing.

Liu Chuxue handed the red envelope in her hand to Miao Yiqiu beside her: "Auntie, please trouble you to place it on my younger brother's swaddle."

Seeing that Liu Chuxue had truly given a red envelope, Xiao Mu's face was plastered with smiles.

While they were talking, Xiao Fu returned pushing his bicycle.

Fu Yan Cheng spoke first: "Dad, you're back."

Liu Chuxue turned around, saw Xiao Fu's exhausted look, and couldn't help but ask: "Did you work overtime today? Why are you back at this hour?"

Hearing Liu Chuxue's question, an unnatural look flashed across Xiao Fu's face.

This small move naturally did not escape Liu Chuxue's eyes.

Xiao Fu turned around, parked the bicycle properly, and only then said: "I helped a friend with some things, which is why I'm back late."

But as he said this, his face showed clear guilt.

This made Liu Chuxue feel alert: We've only been living well for a few days; let's not have any more mishaps.

She looked up at Fu Yan Cheng and saw him nod slightly, mouthing: Talk about it later.

Even Fu Yan Cheng had noticed; now Liu Chuxue was even more certain that Xiao Fu was hiding something from the family, and judging by his expression, it probably wasn't anything good.

Miao Yiqiu took the red envelope into the room and quickly came back out; it was almost noon, and she had to hurry to prepare lunch.

Liu Chuxue gave Fu Yan Cheng a look; she followed her auntie into the kitchen, leaving Fu Yan Cheng there to draw out information.

On the other side, Section Chief Li had specially returned home for lunch.

Her husband saw her return and said in surprise: "Why are you back?"

Section Chief Li parked her bicycle properly and swept her gaze around the courtyard: "Back to handle some matters."

After speaking, she gave her own husband a look: Let's go, talk inside.

After all, they lived in a large courtyard compound; although only three families lived in the central courtyard, some matters were not suitable to discuss in front of others.

After the couple entered the room, Section Chief Li glanced into the courtyard again; seeing no one come out, she finally withdrew her gaze.

Seeing her acting so mysteriously, her husband said with curiosity: "What's wrong with you?"

As Section Chief Li turned around, an excited smile hung between her eyebrows and eyes: "Xu Changhai, I have some good news for you."

Xu Changhai reached out and touched his wife's forehead: "Mm, no fever."

Section Chief Li raised her hand and slapped his paw away: "I'm talking about something serious."

Normally, Section Chief Li didn't come home for lunch; today, his wife was acting somewhat strangely: "Fine, fine, fine, you speak, I'll listen."

But after speaking, he muttered quietly: "I'd like to see what good news has you running back in the middle of the day."

Section Chief Li lowered her voice: "Your factory director wants to arrange a job for his son; I have a job here that can..."

After hearing his wife's words, Xu Changhai's eyes suddenly lit up: "Are you serious?"

Section Chief Li rolled her eyes at her husband: "How could I make a joke about this?"

Xu Changhai quickly smiled ingratiatingly: "Right, right, right, it's my fault; I was just so surprised that I said the wrong thing. My lord, please be generous and don't hold it against me."

Section Chief Li rolled her eyes again: "Enough, stop joking. You'd better get this matter settled this afternoon; the person taking over the post on their end is a junior high school student; don't think about fooling them with the position."
