Chapter 203: shuhaige.net

Yang Qing's family had nothing special for the New Year; after going to wish Aunt Wang a happy New Year, it was just eating, eating, eating.

At noon, Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru's families all came over to wish the old lady a happy New Year.

Yang Qing put out the crispy fish, the scallions, and made a chicken and mushroom stew from the mushrooms in the planting box…

The dishes were very abundant.

For the children, Yang Qing gave each some firecrackers, while Chen Hong was in charge of handing out lucky money.

Chen Xueru looked at the fish on the table and remarked.

"Yang Qing, is this Guangdong-style crispy fish?"

"Yes, it's authentic Guangdong-style crispy fish, tender and smooth, suitable for young and old; don't worry about bones—the fish's bones are like noodles, they break at a touch and melt in the mouth."

The old lady also strongly recommended it.

"This fish is really delicious; I eat half a one every day."

Meow………

Dahua also anxiously prowled under the table, hurrying me for fish…

Xu Huizhen is best at playing the straight man.

"Then we're in for a treat."

"We've only heard of this way of making crispy fish, never tried it; we don't know how, never expecting you, Yang Qing, to have this skill."

"Grandma, you've really struck it rich."

Chen Xueru also started sucking up.

"Exactly, you say in this world, finding a man who can make money, is capable, well-read, loves his wife, can cook, and is good-looking—how hard is that?"

"Anyway, I can't find one."

Chen Hong listened to Chen Xueru's words; although she clearly knew it was envy and jealousy, she was still very happy.

"This is fate, arranged by Heaven; I can't do anything about it."

"Hahaha……"

Seeing Chen Hong get smug, Chen Xueru couldn't help but retort.

"But I've also heard some rumors—that Yang Qing has an unclear relationship with the widow in your courtyard?"

Chen Hong didn't care at all and even rolled her eyes.

"You probably don't know, but there's also a Chen widow in here."

"Want me to tell you about that night between Yang Qing and the Chen widow?"

Chen Xueru waved her hands repeatedly, gossiping, and the gossip ended up about herself.

She had also heard this story before; while others didn't know who the Chen widow was, she knew very well, and the content was quite erotic and violent.

She had been longing for it back then.

"Forget it, forget it; it's not appropriate to say this in front of the children."

Chen Hong gave her a look, thick-skinned, and nobody could do anything about it.

Xu Huizhen also laughed, having heard that rumor as well.

"Enough, it's not a good thing; you're getting all proud, wanting the people of the street to know the main character is you—let's see if you can still laugh."

Yang Qing looked bewildered.

"These rumors, everyone in the street knows them?"

Xu Huizhen said meaningfully.

"No, it's not like that; the big-character posters on your street, half of Jingcheng knows about them—supposedly posted to dispel rumors, but this person's curiosity was aroused, and upon looking, wow, it's a story about a man and several women."

"And just like that, it went viral."

"However, they changed the names; the protagonist is called Daqing."

"That story is exciting, so the street authorities stepped in to prevent the spread of such unhealthy content."

Yang Qing slapped his own forehead.

"Damn, he finally realized what was wrong—posting those big-character posters wasn't just adding fuel to the already dying rumors, was it?"

"This damn thing, isn't it just adding writing material for countless future people?"

"I might become famous, or is it going to be in this way?"

"I hope society will manage this strictly enough, so they don't form a trend."

"Perhaps seeing Yang Qing's worry, Xu Huizhen continued."

"Don't worry; this hadn't spread for a few days before the street shut it down."

"After all, it's not a good story; it's poison harming our enemies, so of course it must be completely abolished."

Only then did Yang Qing let out a sigh of relief.

He almost became famous for all time.

While the women chatted freely at the dinner table, Cai Quanwu acted like a shy daughter-in-law, not interfering in the lively topic at all.

Yang Qing raised his cup and clinked it with his.

"Brother, let's have one."

Cai Quanwu and Yang Qing clinked that.

"Brother, I heard you're now working at the street office?"

"What work? Just a temporary job with no future."

"Once Chen Hong gives birth, I'll stay home to nurse the child."

"Chen Hong's pregnant?"

The people around all looked over.

Chen Hong shook her head.

"No, I don't know what's going on, there's nothing, I went to the hospital and they found nothing wrong."

Yang Qing, however, said firmly.

"There will be, I think we'll have one this year."

Xu Huizhen slapped the table.

"This matter, you should have said earlier; I have a secret formula, said to have leaked from the palace, and it works well."

"Anyway, my mother gave it to me to drink, and now I can conceive easily."

"If it weren't for Lao Cai not wanting one, I'd still want to give him a child."

Chen Xueru rolled her eyes.

"What secret formula? A secret formula for giving birth to a daughter?"

"Chen Hong, let me tell you, if you want to have a boy, this posture must be correct!!"

Seeing that the topic was about to summon the harmony legion, the old lady spoke up.

"Alright, alright, you guys stop talking nonsense; the child is here, and there are men from every family, you shouldn't be embarrassed."

The old lady spoke, and the three women giggled as they changed the topic.

"Speaking of which, this year our Jiedao, thanks to the promotion of planting boxes, has seen many restaurants' dishes become much richer."

"I heard that the higher-ups are preparing to increase promotion and research in this area."

"Chen Hong, your agricultural technology station might be about to take off."

Xu Huizhen spoke with conviction.

Chen Hong seemed to have also heard a bit of news.

"I heard that the higher-ups plan to give Professor Chen greater authority, allowing him to recruit more people from the agricultural college to participate in the research."

"I don't know either; I'm just a consultant now, and still no one asks for my advice."

"I mainly work at the taming center."

Chen Xueru felt a bit envious.

"It's thanks to Xu Huizhen that we've run into this; our Jiedao has many small eateries, wine shops, restaurants, and banquet halls, with huge demand for dishes. This year, with the Jiedao's support, business has improved a lot, and I heard they're making big profits."

Xu Huizhen said irritably.

"Alright, you, don't act innocent after taking advantage."

"You've improved our underwear, not simply copying foreign styles, but creating many new designs with Chinese characteristics; I heard that foreigners in the embassy district have taken notice and want to introduce these underwear from our hearts."

"If this is true, then you're earning foreign exchange for the country—that's a great achievement."

"And you still come to envy me; I'm dying of envy."

Chen Xueru still doesn't know this news.

"Besides this matter, I just received a few foreign ladies; I didn't expect them to have such good taste."

She gave a hehehe silly laugh.

Yang Qing couldn't help but retort.

"The style is easy to learn, but you should consider how to raise the quality so that others can't learn it even if they try; only we can do it."

"First establish your brand."

"Otherwise you'll just be making wedding dresses for others."

Chen Xueru's excited mood was instantly doused with a bucket of cold water by Yang Qing.
