Chapter 154 No Escape

"Xiao Huang, didn't you agree to rent my old house? Why are you going back on your word?"

Uncle Deqing waited and waited at the gate of the village committee, and finally met Huang Xinxin, who had been deliberately avoiding him for the past few days.

Huang Xinxin shook her head and said, "Uncle Deqing, I'm not regretting it. It's just that the price you asked for is simply not affordable. The transaction is a matter of mutual consent, and I can't force you, right?"

"Don't force it, don't force it." Uncle Deqing waved his hands quickly.

"In fact, I have thought about it carefully these days and feel that I should support the development of the village and sacrifice small interests for the overall situation. If the village can develop as a result, then my sacrifice of personal interests will not matter."

"In fact, the village has agreed to grant the land, so you don't have to sacrifice."

Huang Xinxin still maintained a smile on her face, but she couldn't help but think in her heart, asking for an exorbitant price at first and then lowering it back to the normal market price, is that a sacrifice?
"Hey, it's so troublesome to approve the land. I know those procedures take a long time. It's not as convenient as my way. We can sign the contract on the same day and you can start construction immediately. What matters is efficiency."

"But I've already done this," Huang Xinxin said in embarrassment.

"Don't say but, Xiao Huang." Uncle Deqing interrupted and then said righteously, "Although I am not a party member, I have always wanted to learn from you party members. You have to fulfill my sincere desire to contribute to the village."

Huang Xinxin seemed to be finally moved when she heard this, and nodded slowly: "Okay then"

"It's signed, it's finally done, friends!"

Huang Xinxin rushed in and jumped happily in the yard, not showing any sign of embarrassment as before.

After letting Uncle Deqing fly for a few days and playing hard to get, we finally settled the rental issue for Shaohua Bookstore.

These past few days, she appeared to be ignoring Uncle Deqing, but in fact, she was extremely anxious. Fortunately, this big stone has finally been put to rest.

Hu Youyu was sitting in the yard playing guitar, thinking hard about composing a song, when he was interrupted by Huang Xinxin's noise. He said, "Xiao Huang, I just thought of a beautiful melody, but your voice ruined it."

Nana was developing her new dessert in the kitchen. When she heard this, she ruthlessly complained, "Come on, Mr. Hu, I see you've been holding it in for the whole afternoon, and you can only draw a musical score."

Hu Youyu immediately retorted: "I am brewing inspiration. Creation is all about that momentary shiver. The previous moments are just warm-up foreplay to stir up the emotional atmosphere."

Nana showed disdain on her face and curled her lips: "Oh, I understand. If you don't have enough strength, you can make up for it with foreplay."

Hu Youyu's eyes widened. "Wow, that's a bit offensive. You'd better take it back. Although it's not about me, I don't mind, but I have a friend who will feel uncomfortable if he hears it."

"If you feel offended, doesn't that mean what I said is true?" Nana smiled, "Or, tell me which friend it is, and I'll apologize to him in person?"

"Never mind. When I think about it, I'm not that familiar with him. I don't care anyway. It's not me he's talking about."

Huang Xinxin, who was standing by, said speechlessly, "I say, can you please stop talking about these vulgar topics? We were born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze. Can you pay more attention to the construction of the most beautiful villages in our motherland and respect the achievements of my hard work?"

Hu Youyu immediately exclaimed: "Xiao Huang, you actually participated in such a great cause and achieved such remarkable results. Shouldn't you treat us to a barbecue tonight to celebrate?"

Huang Xinxin: “.”

"Xinxin, let's ignore him. Come, try the new drink I developed." Nana waved her hand.

"Nana, what new product have you come up with?" Huang Xinxin leaned closer.

"The main ingredient this time is this." Nana showed a small green fruit.

"Yunnan olives, I can't eat them, they're too sour." Huang Xinxin quickly shook her head, "Sour papaya and Yunnan olives, I still can't get used to these two things."

"It's not sour. I added dried tangerine peel and rose honey. Try it." Nana poured a small cup for Huang Xinxin.

Huang Xinxin picked up the cup skeptically and took a sip.

"How is it?" Nana looked expectantly.

Huang Xinxin raised her eyebrows, "Hmm?! It tastes good, although it's still a little sour, but I can accept this."

"Is that so?" Nana smiled with satisfaction. "I think we can add more than just honey. Sweet wine would be great too."

"What delicious food are you eating?"

Chen Nanxing walked in from outside, followed by Chen Mo and Xu Hongdou.

"You've come at the right time. Come and help me try the new product and give me some comments." Nana greeted.

"It's a tangerine." Chen Mo walked closer and took a look, then took one and threw it into his mouth.

"These are Yunnan olives, and don't you think they're sour?" Huang Xinxin felt her teeth sour when she saw Chen Mo eating them.

"In Yunnan, it's called Dian Olives. In Guangdong, where I come from, it's called Yougan. In Fujian, it seems to be called Phyllanthus emblica. There are many names for it."

Chen Mo chewed nonchalantly, "This thing tastes sour at first, but becomes sweet as you chew it. It makes your mouth hydrated and moisturizes your throat. You'll get used to it if you eat it more."

Huang Xinxin shook her head repeatedly to show that she declined the offer.

Xu Hongdou tasted one out of curiosity, and her face instantly wrinkled with sourness.

"Haha, forget it if you're not used to it." Chen Mo smiled and stretched out his hand to take it, motioning Xu Hongdou to spit it out.

Xu Hongdou shook her head, and forced herself to finish it while enduring the sourness.

Huang Xinxin smacked her lips and said, "I was caught off guard by this dog food."

"You'll get used to it." Chen Nanxing said calmly. She had already gotten used to it. "Then I won't have the chance to develop this habit." Huang Xinxin smiled. "The village committee's house has been repaired. I will move back tomorrow. Thank you, Boss Chen, for taking me in these few days."

Chen Mo smiled and nodded, jokingly saying, "You have to report this to the village. You came all the way here to help build the village. It's not enough to just arrange accommodation for you. You have to give you a boyfriend."

Nana immediately started to make fun of him: "In fact, I think Mr. Xie is not bad. He has good looks and a good career. You two also have similar interests."

Huang Xinxin waved her hand and said, "What are you posting? I have a boyfriend."

"Xiao Huang, you actually have a boyfriend. You're really good at hiding it." Hu Youyu moved over at some point.

Huang Xinxin shrugged, "It is indeed hidden very deep, hidden in the mountains."

"What's the situation? Tell me quickly." Chen Nanxing asked with interest.

The others also looked curious.

Huang Xinxin didn't shy away and said generously, "I met him some time ago when I went to visit my mom at a mountain school. He was a volunteer teacher there."

"We added each other's contact information at the time, chatted for a while, and felt that we were good to each other, so we confirmed our relationship last month."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Chen Nanxing blinked, "So you are in different places now?"

Huang Xinxin nodded, "He is my mother's top general, but I plan to turn him over. Our school is also short of teachers."

Huang Xinxin clenched her fists. She was eager to try and was ready to swing the hoe at her own mother.

Hu Youyu listened with envy and melancholy on his face, and said: "You two can chat on WeChat, but why don't I want to ask girls out to chat in person?"

Chen Mo patted Hu Youyu on the shoulder and said, "Old Hu, men and women sometimes think differently. Men may think, 'If you don't even go out, what's the point of chatting on WeChat?' But women will think, 'If you don't even chat on WeChat, what's the point of going out?'"

"So, sometimes we need to change our way of thinking and formulate strategies based on the enemy situation."

"So you and Hongdou also chatted on WeChat first?" Hu Youyu asked curiously.

Chen Mo glanced at Xu Hongdou and said, "That's not the case. I just moved next door to her. She doesn't have to come out, but she can't not go home."

"."Hu Youyu gave a thumbs up, convinced.

"Hehe." Chen Mo smiled proudly.

Xu Hongdou pinched the soft flesh on Chen Mo's waist in a scolding tone, "Stop showing off."

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, "I found my wife based on my own ability, why can't I show off?"

Xu Hongdou couldn't help but roll her eyes, "I was deceived by your sweet talk at the beginning, that's why I was tricked by you so quickly."

Chen Mo didn't care, "That was also my ability to cheat."

Xu Hongdou suddenly realized, "Then it seems that it is not too late for me to wake up now?"

Chen Mo smiled and said, "It's too late. I just sent two down jackets to my uncle and aunt. If you want to 'abandon me after having sex with me', my uncle and aunt will take care of it for me."

Xu Hongdou was surprised and asked, "When did you send it? Why didn't you tell me?"

Chen Mo said, "I've seen a lot of down jackets online lately that are not reliable. I happened to know a friend who was making this, so I asked someone to send two to him so that uncles and aunts wouldn't buy inferior ones from outside."

Xu Hongdou could already imagine the grin on her parents' faces after they received the gifts. They would probably have to start calculating her dowry for next year's wedding.

Ms. Liu Guiqin just showed off the square dance costume given by her future son-in-law in the summer, and then she bought a down jacket in the winter.

Chen Mo's main goal was to declare his sovereignty in a seamless manner, telling the neighbors in the community that the daughter of the old Xu family was now taken.

"As for why I didn't tell you." Chen Mo glanced at Xu Hongdou, "Anyway, remember, if we quarrel in the future, you'd better be careful, otherwise I will go back to my parents' home and ask my mother-in-law to make the decision for me."

Xu Hongdou: "."

So is it my mother's home or your mother's home?

You are going back to my parents' home, so where should I go?

Go back to my sister?

Chen Mo seemed to have guessed what Xu Hongdou was thinking, and said slowly: "Oh, by the way, I also bought one for Lingling. I heard that children's down jackets are also a disaster area."

"Although what Hongmi bought is not bad given her conditions, it's still convenient for me, as her uncle, to show my appreciation by buying the child some new clothes."

Xu Hongdou gnashed her teeth and said, "You are so scheming that you want to block my way out?"

Chen Mo smiled brightly, leaned close to Xu Hongdou's ear and whispered:

"Of course, I will do whatever it takes to marry you."

"You have no way to escape."
