Reborn in the 90s, I traded my ex-husband for eight apartments.

When they saw Huo Zheng and Jian Shuhang also come to help move things, Bai Chenglei and Bai Chengxiang were both taken aback.

Bai Chengxiang, in particular, knew Huo Zheng's family background and could no longer regard him as "Comrade Huo".

"Mr. Huo, how can I let you do these jobs?"

Bai Chenglei also smiled and said:

"Comrade Huo, we'll move it ourselves."

Huo Zheng went over and carried a bag of rice:

"Big brother, second brother, I've done all sorts of things in the army, so you don't need to be so polite with me."

Jian Shuhang had no choice but to follow his brother and, in one go, carry a bag of cured meat, not wanting to embarrass his brother at this moment.

Some things belong to Xu Yin's family, some to Liu Fang's family, and Bai Zhenzhu's things are on the car; we'll take them to Chengdu later.

Seeing that Huo Zheng and Jian Shuhang were genuinely trying to help, the Bai family stopped being polite and treated the two brothers like family.

With so many people, the New Year's goods they brought were all moved in no time, leaving only Bai Zhenzhu's belongings to take to Chengdu in the car.

Seeing that it would be a while before they ate, Huo Zheng, Bai Chengxiang, and Bai Chenglei took down the seats that were tied to the roof of the car and installed them.

Seeing Huo Zheng working non-stop, Jian Shuhang was completely dumbfounded.

Although his brother has always been very methodical in his work and very diligent.

But this is the first time I've seen such a positive side.

They're treating the Bai family like their own home.

That's incredibly shameless!

Jian Shuhang reflected on his actions and realized that he had only been using the guise of a good older brother all these years.

Although he also dotes on Zhong Ting, to Zhong Ting, he is no different from Huo Zheng.

Let's take a look at his brother.

The purpose behind this is far too obvious.

He was certain that anyone in the Bai family who wasn't a fool would be able to see something.

He had just noticed that the way his two sisters-in-law were looking at his brother was strange.

After washing their hands at Bai Chenglei's house, everyone went to Bai Chengxiang's house.

Lunch is ready.

They brought some slaughtered chickens from home, which were gifts from Zhang Yufang, Liu Fang, and Xu Yin's families.

At noon, I chose a tender rooster, chopped it up, and made a spicy chicken dish.

Xu Yin's family has a pressure cooker. They stewed a pot of cured pork leg, boiled sausages, and cut a large plate of them.

I also brought a lot of vegetables from home, so I made a stir-fried garlic sprouts with cured pork and a pea shoot and egg soup.

I also stir-fried some bok choy and mixed a bowl of houttuynia cordata.

There were many people, so we were seated at two tables.

The children sit at one table, and the adults sit at another.

Li Xiufen was incredibly enthusiastic:

"Xiao Huo, Xiao Jian, these are all vegetables grown in the countryside. Don't be picky, eat up."

Huo Zheng laughed:

"Auntie, you're too kind. I was injured and stayed at Xiaobai's house back then. Thanks to Xiaobai and the others for taking such good care of me, I've been thinking about your food for the past two years."

Jian Shuhang: "..."

You'd better be talking about someone else's food.

I can’t tell. I can’t tell.

His brother is actually that kind of person.

Bai Zhenzhu was also somewhat surprised. Was this person not planning to continue acting?

She smiled politely:

"Mr. Huo, let's not bring up the past anymore; it was all trivial. I'm very grateful for your care while I was in Rongcheng."

"How about this, let's call it even and let's not bring it up again."

Huo Zheng said solemnly:

"That's different. You saved my life."

Bai Zhenzhu smiled:

"It was my third brother and I who rescued you back then."

Huo Zheng nodded:

"My third brother isn't here. I'll thank him properly when they arrive in Chengdu."

"Isn't my third brother and sister-in-law preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam? Maybe there's something I can do to help them in the future."

Bai Zhenzhu could barely keep her smile going:

“My third brother and sister-in-law are both very hardworking people, and I believe they can succeed.”

The implication was that there was no need to trouble Mr. Huo.

But Huo Zheng seemed not to understand and continued to nod:

"Yes, Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law, as well as Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law, Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law, and you, Xiaobai, are all very down-to-earth and hardworking people I have ever met."

White Pearl: "..."

The other people at the table: "..."

Jian Shuhang really wanted to ask his brother, "You call it so naturally, did they agree to let you call it that?"

The air was thick with awkwardness.

The elderly couple had been through it all; even if they hadn't realized it before, they now understood it completely.

Old Man Bai could hardly believe it.

Li Xiufen had mixed feelings of joy and sorrow.

Good heavens, if Xiao Huo really becomes her son-in-law, she'll be laughing in her dreams.

But is someone as outstanding as Xiao Huo, with such a powerful family background, truly sincere towards his own daughter?

Li Xiufen was once bitten by a snake and was afraid of ropes for ten years.

Bai Chenglei and the other three were stunned.

Huo Zheng had always been perceived by them as a noble and upright figure.

This person suddenly changed their style, becoming so direct and bold that no one could react in time.

Aside from the small table and Xiao Wenbo in Bai Chengxiang's arms, probably only Huo Zheng himself didn't feel embarrassed.

He calmly picked up a slice of sausage, ate it, and said with a smile:

“Third brother and sister-in-law will definitely pass the exam. If they need any help in the future, they can just ask.”

Old Man Bai snapped out of his daze and chuckled:

"It's still early, it's still early. If I ever need your help in the future, I'll definitely let you know."

"Eat, eat."

Everyone started eating, and for a moment no one spoke at the table.

Even Xu Yin, who is usually very talkative, didn't dare to say a word, while little Wenbo kept babbling and making a fuss.

After finishing their meal, Huo Zheng and Jian Shuhang prepared to say goodbye.

Jian Shuhang smiled and said to Bai Zhenzhu:

"Director Bai, my brother came here in my car. I don't know when you're going back to Yuan County. Could you give him a ride?"

Bai Zhenzhu thought for a moment:

"We plan to return to Chengdu tomorrow afternoon. I wonder if Mr. Huo is in a hurry?"

Huo Zheng: "I'm not in a hurry, so I'll trouble you to take me the way."

Bai Zhenzhu smiled:

"No trouble at all, it's Mr. Jian and Mr. Huo who are inconvenienced today."

After exchanging a few more polite words, Huo Zheng took a case of wine from the trunk of the car and placed it in front of Bai Zhenzhu:

"I didn't know what to bring you during the New Year. I have plenty of wine at home, so I'll give it to Uncle Bai."

"These are all good wines; let him have a couple of drinks occasionally."

"I'll go take care of my business first, and I'll come over to meet you tomorrow."

Li Xiufen subconsciously said something polite:

"Little Huo, then come over for lunch early tomorrow."

Huo Zheng smiled:

"Okay, ma'am."

After saying that, he got into the car and left Huimin Community with Jian Shuhang.

As soon as the two left, Xu Yin and Liu Fang pulled Bai Zhenzhu into the bedroom.

Li Xiufen followed behind.

White Pearl was helpless:

"Don't look at me like that. I'm just as surprised as you are."

Xu Yin exclaimed in surprise:

"This Mr. Huo is coming on strong, Pearl. What are your thoughts?"

White Pearl shook her head:

“I have no interest in him; right now, I just want to make money to buy a house.”

Liu Fang also said:

"Although this Mr. Huo seems like a good person, you can't judge a book by its cover. Pearl, you have children and a career now, so we don't need to rush personal matters. Take your time."

Bai Zhenzhu chuckled:

"I really have no idea."

Xu Yin lowered her voice:

"Well, Mr. Huo is good-looking, so it's normal for him to have ideas. You're still so young, let's take our time to assess his character. Don't condemn him outright."

Bai Zhenzhu didn't say much, just nodded and said:

"I understand. I will handle this matter properly."

Seeing that her daughter seemed very resistant to relationships, Li Xiufen didn't dare to say anything.

She felt heartbroken, and silently cursed Pei Xiangyang to a terrible death.
