Chapter 931 [Pregnancy]

Although there were a lot of questions, Yang Chen wasn't particularly a gossip person, so he didn't intend to ask anything.

After the banquet started, Guo Xuehua handed the huacarved wine porcelain bottle brought by his servants to Lin Ruoxi, and with a gesture of his eyes, Lin Ruoxi was responsible for pouring the wine.

Lin Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, and then remembered her current identity. It seemed that this kind of work should be done by herself. Although she was not used to it, she still blushed and poured wine one by one, starting with Yang Gongming.

Yang Chen shyly smiled and said, "Honey, this is the first time you've poured wine for me."

Seeing his rascal appearance, Lin Ruoxi became angry, puffed her mouth, and snorted softly, ignoring it.

Seeing this in his eyes, Yang Gongming asked with a smile: "I heard from your mother that you are planning to hold a wedding when you come back this time?"

Yang Chen grabbed a chicken leg and gnawed on it, while grinning and said: "Old man, I spent a lot of money preparing for this wedding, I mainly want to ask you for some sponsorship when I come back."

"You are quite straightforward," Yang Gongming said leisurely, sipping his wine.

Lin Ruoxi kicked Yang Chen's calf under the table, she only hated how this guy couldn't be more serious, would he be short of money?

If it weren't for the fact that it was strange for the bride to pay for the wedding herself, she would have given it.

Yang Chen didn't take it seriously, "After all, it's a family, and what's yours is mine. Even if you don't have money, it's okay to send a few heirlooms or something to please you."

Yang Gongming didn't answer, but said: "After dinner, you follow me to the Yang family's ancestral hall and kowtow to your ancestors. In the afternoon, there will be some patriarchs from the direct line of our old Yang family who will come to join you Let's meet. If you want money and treasures, let them approve, and naturally they will all be yours."

"It's so simple? Once I admit it, the entire Yang family will belong to me?" Yang Chen asked with a half-smile.

Yang Gongming glanced at him and said, "Of course I'll wait for me to go west one day, or else I'll spoil it for you?"

Yang Chen bit it hard. Chicken "I knew you weren't that kind, old fox."

"Don't think I don't know what you're planning, but it doesn't matter. It's better for people to have plans than to have nothing, it's just human nature." Yang Gongming sighed: "It's just that there must be rules. It has to be done. As for the process you choose, I don’t care, I just need to see the result I want.”

Yang Chen pondered for a while, before he said: "You speak so profoundly, why don't you make your granddaughter-in-law stupid?"

Saying that, Yang Chen pouted at Lin Ruoxi.

Lin Ruoxi was indeed in a daze, because she didn't know how the grandfather and grandson communicated.

Being ridiculed by Yang Chen, she raised a fist and smashed it on Yang Chen's face with a pretty face!

Yang Chen didn't dodge either, he continued with a smile, and stuffed the half-eaten chicken leg towards Lin Ruoxi's red lips.

"Ah! Disgusting!!"

Lin Ruoxi couldn't take it anymore, she quickly fled to the seat next to Guo Xuehua, and glared at Yang Chen angrily.

Yan Sanniang smiled and said: "Master, it seems that Master Chen and his wife are very affectionate."

Yang Gongming nodded in agreement, "Indeed."

Guo Xuehua on the side heard this, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Next, Yang Gongming asked about some recent events, most of them were small things in life, Yang Chen only cared about eating and drinking, and most of them were answered by Lin Ruoxi.

When he was almost drunk, Yang Gongming waved to a maid.

The servant understood, and not long after, brought a small bowl of noodles and placed it in front of Guo Xuehua.

Guo Xuehua was stunned for a moment, then he remembered something.

"Xuehua, today is also your birthday, but you are not a young man after all, so I prepared simple longevity noodles for you, as a good hope," Yang Gongming said warmly.

Guo Xuehua was immediately moved, and said with a smile: "Dad, I didn't expect you to remember it. I haven't had my birthday in the past few years, so I didn't think about it."

"You don't go home often because no one thinks of your birthday," Yang Gongming pretended to be displeased.

Guo Xuehua smiled shyly, but his eyes were full of gratitude.

In the big family, in fact, the status of women is not as high as that of ordinary families. After all, the concept of superiority and inferiority is relatively strict.

Therefore, as a father-in-law like Yang Gongming, who can still remember the birthday of his daughter-in-law who has never done anything, and even specially prepared longevity noodles, Guo Xuehua is bound to be very grateful.

Seeing this scene, Lin Ruoxi, who had already prepared a birthday gift, was a little nervous, and suddenly felt that the gift Yang Chen bought was really unreliable, should she take it out?

No, Yang Chen had already spoken first, and said with a grin: "Mom, happy birthday, just now Ruoxi said that today is your birthday, and even bought you a special gift."

Guo Xuehua's face was filled with joy, and he looked at Lin Ruoxi with relief in his eyes, "It's still because you have a heart, Yang Chen may not have that concept at all. In fact, you don't need to buy any gifts, it's just a meaning, after all, you don't need anything."

"Mom...I wish you a happy birthday too, that gift...gift..." Lin Ruoxi hesitated for a moment, then got up quickly, and said: "I'll go and get the gift, it's in the suitcase."

When Lin Ruoxi ran to get the gift, Guo Xuehua asked Yang Chen suspiciously, "Did you fool Ruoxi, why does she look weird?"

Yang Chen said awe-inspiringly: "Am I that kind of person? Besides, I don't have the guts, who doesn't know that I'm a 'strict wife'?"

Yang Gongming calmly interjected, "Well, it's a good thing for young people to know themselves."

Yang Chen could only admire this old man, although he was getting old, but he was still very flexible in his mind.

Not long after, Lin Ruoxi carried a gift box about one foot high, came to the dining table, and gently sent it to Guo Xuehua's arms.

"Mom, I bought it in a hurry, so I don't know if you like it or not. If you don't like it, I'll buy you another one." Lin Ruoxi said seriously.

For her who has always been cautious and meticulous in doing things, giving her mother-in-law a gift is a very serious matter.

Guo Xuehua was also curious about what was inside, so he stood up and opened the box on the spot.

When he saw the "real body" Guo Xuehua inside, his expression became weird on the spot.

Yang Gongming and Yan Sanniang also seemed a little dumbfounded, and Lin Ruoxi, who gave the gift, was even redder to the ears.

I saw a large, round and plump pottery figurine doll painted in colorful huā standing on a porcelain seat cushion in a naive manner.

Although this doll looks huāhuā green and eye-catching, but its shape is like a beer bottle, as a gift for Guo Xuehua, it is indeed extremely weird.

Guo Xuehua couldn't help laughing and said: "This doll looks like she's pregnant, shouldn't it be a doll for pregnant women? Ruoxi, Mom thinks it's quite appropriate for you to keep it."

Lin Ruoxi was even more shy, she gritted her teeth and looked at Yang Chen, all because of this guy.

"It looks pretty good to me, Madam, why don't you keep it?" Yan Sanniang said with a smile.

But Yang Gongming asked Yang Chen, "Since you chose it, why didn't you tell me why you chose this gift?"

Yang Chen was using his chopsticks to fight a rock sugar pig's trotter. Hearing this, he curled his lips and said reluctantly: "Of course there are reasons, but it's meaningless to say such things."

"No, I have to say it." Guo Xuehua became interested, "It's my mother's birthday today. You choose a pregnant doll for me. What's the matter? Is it possible that you still want younger siblings?"

Yang Chen looked embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Come on, I said, I said, your words squeezed out goosebumps all over my body."

Everyone couldn't help laughing, even the servant not far away couldn't help laughing.

Yang Chen wiped his mouth, pointed at the naive doll and said, "This Russian doll named Matroska actually has a mystery inside."

"Mystery?"

"Not bad." Yang Chen leaned over and picked up the doll from the base.

Everyone was surprised. After the doll was taken away, an identical but shrunken version of the Russian doll appeared inside.

Lin Ruoxi stepped forward to take off the doll with great interest, but unexpectedly, a smaller doll appeared below!

This time everyone present understood.

Guo Xuehua picked up two more dolls, and found that there were five dolls in total, which were put together!

"This is really interesting. The dolls are intertwined, and the dolls are inside the dolls. It's really well done," Yang Gongming praised.

"There should be some special meaning to this," Yan Sanniang asked.

Yang Chen nodded and said with a smile: "Matroska Russian doll, in Russian, means 'mother's doll'. Made layer by layer, the implication is that the mother protects the child layer by layer. in……"

This time, no one laughed anymore, they all looked at the doll silently, thinking a lot.

Guo Xuehua's eyes were red and shiny, and he looked at Yang Chen with relief, then silently put the doll away and put it in the box.

"Okay, Mom accepted this gift, but you are not allowed to buy this kind of gift again in the future, not only looks strange, but also makes you cry easily when you look at it," Guo Xuehua joked.

While Lin Ruoxi heaved a sigh of relief, she also gave Yang Chen a resentful look. She clearly knew what the doll meant, but she refused to tell her in advance.

A meal of lunch, although it was the first dinner together back home, everyone in the Xiao family ended happily.

After the meal, with a deep smile on his face, Guo Xuehua led Lin Ruoxi back to her room in the backyard.

And Yang Chen followed Yang Gongming in the ancestral ancestral hall and kowtowed helplessly. In fact, kowtowing is nothing, but being watched by others, Yang Chen felt quite humiliated.

After coming out of the ancestral hall, Yan Sanniang came forward and said, "Master, as agreed earlier, the patriarchs of those direct families have already arrived at the front hall, waiting for Master Chen to meet them."

"Oh, they are on time." Yang Gongming laughed.

"But..." Yan Sanniang said with some concern: "In addition to the direct line of our Yang family, some other neutral families from Yanjing also came, and many opposing military figures also came."

Yang Gongming squinted his eyes, and said with a sneer: "Really, just come."

After finishing speaking, Yang Gongming turned his head to Yang Chen and said, "You also know that the old man tends to get sleepy, so you can do the next thing, I'm going to take a nap."

Yang Chen always felt that there was some bad premonition, and hearing the meaning of Yan Sanniang's words, it was clear that someone was looking for trouble.

But he is not a master who is afraid of things, so he said indifferently: "What if someone dies?"

Yang Gongming laughed a few times, and a few gleams flashed in a pair of old eyes, "Dead people are dying every day. The key lies in who is dying."

"You should have said it earlier." Yang Chen snapped his fingers, nodded knowingly, and said to Yan Sanniang, "Grandma Yan, lead the way." ! ~!
