Chapter 510: Can I really give birth?

Finally, at Liu Guifang's insistence, they only ordered two dishes, one bowl of noodles with minced meat sauce each.

After finishing her meal, Liu Guifang looked pained.

They said it would be better to use that money to buy groceries and cook for yourself.

It's clear that she rarely eats out.

Bai Zhi knew that Liu Guifang was reluctant to spend money.

Looking at Liu Guifang's simple and honest face, she actually felt quite sorry for this hardworking and thrifty woman.

Seeing that Bai Zhi had finally come to her senses and was quite adept at handling things, Wang Yumei finally started to find Bai Zhi more agreeable after inviting them to dinner to build a relationship.

Along the way, Bai Zhi, true to her professional instincts, kept observing Wang Yumei from time to time.

I'm curious whether she has any health problems.

I looked for a long time, but couldn't see anything.

Wang Yumei wore makeup, but the powder on her face was too thick, and the bright red lipstick completely covered her original lip color, so you couldn't tell anything from her complexion.

Unless you take their pulse.

Her relationship with Wang Yumei wasn't close enough for them to hold hands.

Never mind, she's not curious anymore.

The three of them had just arrived outside the family compound when they ran into Lu Ye and Instructor Yang going home together.

The two had just finished a meeting and were walking and talking about work.

Upon seeing Bai Zhi, Lu Ye's handsome face instantly softened with a gentle glow.

"Did you go shopping with Sister Liu?" He walked up to Bai Zhi and took the things from her hands.

Bai Zhi replied with a smile, "We've gone to buy New Year's goods."

She then took the things that Liu Guifang had helped her with from her hands.

“This is my wife, Bai Zhi,” Lu Ye introduced Bai Zhi to Instructor Yang.

"This is Instructor Yang."

Bai Zhi greeted him politely, "Hello, Instructor Yang."

"Hello." Instructor Yang looked at Bai Zhi with a smile. "Last night, my husband Lao Liu told me that Lao Lu's wife is beautiful and smart. Seeing her today, I can confirm it's true."

Not only is she beautiful, but she's also quite daring.

I've heard that killing chickens is quick, accurate, and ruthless.

"Instructor Yang, Sister Liu, we're going up first."

Wang Yumei didn't see her husband, Lao Zhou. Instructor Yang's high praise for Bai Zhi made this most fashionable and modern woman in the family compound feel somewhat disappointed.

It feels like Bai Zhi is stealing the spotlight from everyone else.

The slight goodwill that had just been built up because Bai Zhi treated them to a meal vanished in an instant.

She asked Instructor Yang, "Old Yang, have you seen my husband, Lao Zhou?"

Instructor Yang replied, "No, he should still be in the company."

Wang Yumei was in a bad mood and went home with a long face.

"I'm off this afternoon, shall we go to the county town for a stroll?"

Bai Zhi immediately replied excitedly, "Sure, if you have time, let's go for a walk."

"Is my cousin resting? Let's invite him too."

"good."

Bai Zhi not only wanted to invite Ye Qingbai, but also wanted to invite Shen Qian.

It would be great if we all went shopping together to buy New Year's goods.

Ye Qingbai and Shen Qian haven't been assigned housing yet; they should both be staying in dormitories.

During the Spring Festival, Bai Zhi wanted to invite them to come over.

So after returning to her room, she found the phone number for their workplace that Shen Qian had left her and dialed it.

Shen Qian was still on break before the Lunar New Year, so when Bai Zhi asked her to go and buy New Year's goods, she naturally agreed.

The two agreed on a meeting place and then hung up the phone.

"Are you tired?" Bai Zhi asked, looking at the man resting on the sofa.

"I've been in meetings all morning, and my brain is a little tired." He looked at his wife with gentle eyes. "Come here, just give me a hug."

Bai Zhi obediently sat down next to him, resting her head against his strong chest.

The man held her close, and in that instant, his heart was filled with love.

He held her in his arms, gently stroking her shoulder, and closed his eyes to rest.

After a short rest, the couple began packing to leave.

Lu Ye took out his salary savings book. "Here, let's go to the county town to withdraw some money."

"No need to take it, I'm holding it."

She shook the folding book she had prepared beforehand, "I put all my money in here because I was worried it would be inconvenient to take money on the way."

Lu Ye insisted on taking his own notes, and Bai Zhi, fearing it would put pressure on him, didn't mention wanting to buy a TV for the time being.

She silently put both folded sheets away.

"I put my cell phone in my bag, just in case someone calls."

With everything ready, the two went out.

Wang Yumei stood by the railing, gazing towards the gate of the family compound.

All the other men have gradually returned home, but her husband, Lao Zhou, is still nowhere to be seen.

She strongly suspected that Lao Zhou was still angry because of the argument last night and was deliberately not coming home.

There's another conflict between her and Lao Zhou: after Lao Zhou takes a break, she wants the two of them to go back to his home for the Chinese New Year.

But Lao Zhou always wanted to go back to his hometown county to visit his parents.

Since they couldn't reach an agreement, the matter was put on hold.

With only four days left until the Lunar New Year, this matter must be settled.

When Wang Yumei saw Bai Zhi intimately linking arms with Lu Ye, and Lu Ye even carrying Bai Zhi's bag, as the two chatted and laughed as they went downstairs, she felt even more resentful.

That wretched old Zhou, he still hasn't come back.

When Lu Ye led Bai Zhi to the bus stop, Ye Qingbai was already waiting there.

He had also changed into casual clothes, and when he saw Lu Ye, he said in a low voice, "Brother-in-law, can't we drive there?"

Lu Ye's expression was serious. "What do you think?"

Ye Qingbai glanced at his sullen face and complained, "Why are you so strict about principles? You're a deputy battalion commander now, what's wrong with using a military vehicle?"

Lu Ye gave him a sharp look, and he finally fell silent.

As the shuttle bus arrived, Bai Zhi called out, "The bus is here, let's get on."

Ye Qingbai was still grumbling, "Why not drive your own car? You have to squeeze onto the shuttle bus."

Bai Zhi nudged him and whispered, "Cousin, you should keep a low profile. You're dressed in civilian clothes, but you're driving a military vehicle. Is that appropriate?"

Ye Qingbai said, "Wasn't I just trying to make things convenient for you?"

"I'm fine with any kind of transportation."

Bai Zhi pulled him back, "Don't mention this again."

"Okay, okay, if you think it's fine, then it's fine. I won't say anything more."

Ye Qingbai looked at Bai Zhi along the way, and his mood was quite beautiful.

"Oh, I can finally spend the New Year with my family this year."

He sighed, "You don't know, at this time of year, I always felt empty inside and couldn't help but miss home."

With my cousin here this year, it feels like coming home.

Bai Zhi smiled and said, "Come to our house for the New Year this year, and we'll make dumplings together."

"good."

The cousins ​​chatted and laughed all the way, talking about family matters. Because Lu Ye was not good at chatting with a group of people, he could never get a word in edgewise.

The shuttle bus stopped and started frequently, taking more than half an hour to travel.

As soon as she arrived at the station, Bai Zhi spotted Shen Qian looking around from afar.

"Chen Qian." Bai Zhi waved to her happily from the window.

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's voice, Shen Qian waved cheerfully in response.

Ye Qingbai saw Shen Qian smiling brightly through the glass window. He looked at Bai Zhi and asked, "You even called Dr. Shen?"

Bai Zhi had already stood up and was making arrangements to walk towards the back door, saying, "It's more lively with more people when we're buying New Year's goods."

As soon as she got out of the car, she left the two men behind, happily took Shen Qian's hand, and walked ahead with her.
