The longed-for village system

Chapter 207 A happy event

"I didn't expect to be the first to know. Not bad, I can tease Teacher Huang later."

Huang Bo was overjoyed to find out that he was the first to know, and he even showed a bit of a childlike side. Indeed, sometimes men's happiness is that simple.

"Old Huang, I could hear you talking bad about me behind my back from far away. What are you trying to say about me?"

"Teacher Huang? What brings you here? Didn't you say your show wouldn't start until tomorrow night?"

Huang Bo was slightly surprised to see Huang Sanshi push the door open and come in. After so many years of friendship, he knew Huang Sanshi well. If he didn't have any schedules, he would definitely stay at home with his wife. It was impossible for him to arrive at the filming location a whole day early unless he had an important mission.

"How could I hear you talking bad about me behind my back if I didn't come early?" Huang Sanshi retorted to Huang Bo before responding seriously, "I saw online that my sister-in-law's family went to Manyuan Village. Everyone said it might be for a wedding banquet, so I came a day early to check. Teacher He will be here soon too."

"Is this news true or false, Xiao Chen? Are you and your sister-in-law really planning to have a wedding banquet? You didn't even tell us about such a big thing."

They could have simply made a phone call to Chen Qing, but they knew that Chen Qing was the type to handle things himself, so it was better to come and ask him in person.

Seeing Huang Sanshi's serious expression, Chen Qing smiled and shook his head, explaining, "That's not true. They're just guessing. Xiao Gu's family did come here, but they just came to see Xiao Gu. We're not planning a wedding banquet. If we really wanted to hold one, we would have asked our brothers to come and help."

"Alright, we're all family, don't be shy. Your sister-in-law is even planning to give you a proper feast! If you're going to do it secretly behind our backs, then you're going too far as a younger brother!"

Chen Qing felt a warmth in her heart at Huang Sanshi's seriousness. It was extremely rare for a brother with no blood relation to care about her so much, especially in the complex and unpredictable entertainment industry.

"By the way, Xiao Bo, how is your uncle's illness? With Xiao Chen's treatment, he should be recovering quite well now!" Huang Sanshi turned around and asked about Huang Bo's father's condition.

Huang Bo originally wanted to tease Huang Sanshi for finding out about Zhao Xiaogu's pregnancy after he learned about it, but when Huang Sanshi asked about his father's condition, he temporarily put aside his thoughts and nodded with a smile, "Xiao Chen's medical skills are truly amazing, he's incredible. After these few days of treatment, he has almost recovered and can go back to the hotel by himself."

Huang Sanshi wasn't surprised by this; he had witnessed Chen Qing's medical skills firsthand. He simply nodded and said, "That's great! I knew Little Chen would be fine. He's a miracle doctor!"

"Are you talking about Xiao Chen? I could hear you chatting from far away." Teacher He walked in with a smile, greeted the three of them, and then asked Huang Bo with concern, "How is Uncle's recovery going?"

He didn't ask how Huang Bo's father was doing. As far as Chen Qing was concerned, as long as he said there was no problem, then the cure was only a matter of time. He even felt that it should be almost done.

Zhu Xun and Li Yong both had cancer, a terminal illness that was certain to kill them, yet they only stayed here for a little over half a month. How could a minor case of Alzheimer's disease be more difficult than cancer?

"Xiao Chen said it would be fine in two more days, and now there are basically no problems. I can finally relax," Huang Bo said with a smile.

"sharp."

Teacher He gave Chen Qing a thumbs-up in praise, then carried his suitcase to the room. Afterward, the four of them started chatting under the shed. Seeing that everyone had arrived, Huang Bo smiled slyly and said to the two of them, "Little Chen has some great news to share. Why don't you two guess what it is?"

"Oh? What happy event is it? Or is it a very happy event? Xiao Chen has already accomplished the four great joys of life: his wedding night, passing the imperial examination, and so on. But to meet an old friend in a foreign land is even more impossible. It's hard to even get Xiao Chen to go out of the village."

Huang Sanshi casually mentioned the four great joys of life, but none of these four joys were possible for Chen Qing. In this era, he was already on the train before even getting married, not to mention passing the imperial examination. He was the hottest celebrity in the entertainment industry at that time.

Could it be...? Huang Sanshi turned his head and glanced at the old house not far away. He had gone to the old house to greet Zhao Xiaogu when he came here.

"Could it really be like what those netizens are saying online? Xiao Chen, are you guys planning to hold a banquet? Why didn't you tell us beforehand? We could have come and help!"

Teacher He thought Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu were going to hold a wedding banquet, since they had been married for more than two months and it was time to hold a wedding banquet to invite everyone to witness their marriage.

"Old He, no, I already asked Xiao Chen about this, but we haven't decided yet!" Huang Sanshi replied to Teacher He, then asked Chen Qing uncertainly, "Xiao Chen, are you going to be a father soon?"

"What? Really?" Teacher He exclaimed in surprise.

Seeing that the two were looking at him, Chen Qing smiled but did not answer. However, the two could tell the answer from Chen Qing's expression.

Huang Bo was also surprised that Huang Sanshi guessed the answer so quickly, and sincerely exclaimed, "Old fox is indeed old fox! You guessed it right away. How did you figure out that your sister-in-law is pregnant?"

"Actually, it's not that difficult. The four great joys in life are: rain after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the wedding night, and passing the imperial examination. The latter two can't be mentioned now, and the former two are even more impossible. Xiao Chen stays in the village all day long. So the remaining great joys are becoming a father."

Upon hearing Huang Sanshi's analysis, Teacher He continued to ask Chen Qing, "Little Chen, is it true? Is Xiao Gu really pregnant?"

This time, Chen Qing didn't remain silent. She smiled and nodded in response to their words, "Yes, it hasn't been a month yet, so I'll be resting here for the next while. We'll probably have to talk about the wedding banquet later."

"Then the wedding banquet can be postponed a little longer. We can wait until your baby's condition is stable before having the banquet." Huang Sanshi nodded in agreement with Chen Qing's decision, and then smiled and congratulated Chen Qing, "Congratulations! I didn't expect our little Chen to become a father-to-be so soon."

"Yes! It feels like they just got married, and now Xiao Chen and Xiao Gu already have a child. This is truly a joyous occasion!" Teacher He was also very happy for the couple.

Zhao Xiaogu was his friend of many years, and in his heart she was more like a younger sister. Although Chen Qing had not known him for long, he had already treated him like a younger brother. Now that the two of them had become husband and wife and had their own child, it was an extremely gratifying and joyous event for him.

"I'll cook a nice meal for Xiao Chen and Xiao Gu tonight to celebrate, and also to celebrate Uncle's recovery." Huang Sanshi said that it would be a shame not to treat them to a good meal on such a joyous occasion.
