Chapter 84 Before the Physical Examination

Su Lixing, Lin Nanxi and others left one after another. Jiang Congwen got into Zhang Yundong's car. The two had some work matters to talk about.

"Mom and Dad, let's go too."

After Chen Mo sent Xu Hongdou back, he naturally had no plan to rush home again.

Fang Shuyun had no time to pay attention to Chen Mo. She only said to Xu Hongdou: "Hongdou, come again next time."

"Okay, uncle and aunt, goodbye." Xu Hongdou smiled sweetly and waved her hand gently.

Chen Huaisong also smiled and nodded in response.

"Drive slowly at night." Fang Shuyun finally reminded Chen Mo.

Chen Mo smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm leaving."

As everyone left, the house that had been bustling just a moment ago suddenly became much quieter.

Watching Chen Mo's car go away, Chen Huaisong put his arm around Fang Shuyun's shoulders and said, "Don't be fooled by how well that boy sings. In the end, I'm the only one to accompany you."

Fang Shuyun glanced at Chen Huaisong with amusement, "You are already old, why are you still competing with your son?"

"You have to know that 'old partner, old partner' means that we will be together until we grow old."

“good good”

"Go back to the house."

"Well, how about we soak our feet together?"

"it is good."

The cold moonlight shines on the two of them. With someone by their side, they are not alone.

On the other side, two people were on their way home.

Chen Mo smiled as he drove, "When you come home from now on, my family status will obviously be downgraded."

Xu Hongdou hummed twice, obviously in a good mood.

"When will you take me back to Zibo?"

Xu Hongdou glanced at Chen Mo and said, "Let's talk about it later."

"You've met my parents, so it's only fair that I meet yours, right?"

"Didn't you video chat with my mom before? Have you met her?"

"That's different. I have to pay you a visit and I can't be impolite."

"It's not even close to the courtesy of you coming to my house." Xu Hongdou shook her head.

"Why are you so wary of me? Are you afraid that I will come and propose a marriage?" Chen Mo said deliberately.

Xu Hongdou laughed angrily, "I didn't even say I would marry you, how could you ask for a kiss?"

"So, I just wanted to visit my uncle and aunts. What else could I be thinking?" Chen Mo looked innocent.

"You are not a simple person when you come here." Xu Hongdou's mind was as clear as a mirror.

"Can't you think about it again and be flexible?"

"You can't make compromises. Just be honest and follow the procedures. Don't always try to take shortcuts."

"Alas, there is no way. I want to make progress so much." Chen Mo shook his head and sighed.

Xu Hongdou looked at Chen Mo with amusement and said seriously, "Then work hard, comrade."

Chen Mo nodded, "There is still a long way to go, wife."

Xu Hongdou rolled her eyes.

The days that Chen Mo and Xu Hongdou spent together were plain and sweet.

The two of them get off work together, go to the supermarket to buy groceries together, cook together, and snuggle on the sofa to watch movies together.

It's Thursday night.

On this day, Chen Mo still couldn't hide the fact that he was afraid of watching horror movies.

After Xu Hongdou found out, she fell on the sofa and laughed for a long time.

Chen Mo looked at Xu Hongdou, who was laughing so hard that her body was shaking, and sighed, "Have you laughed enough?"

"Let me laugh for a while longer. I can't help it. Haha." Xu Hongdou waved her hands weakly, unable to stop laughing.

Chen Mo was sitting on the sofa next to him, looking at Xu Hongdou rolling around on the sofa without any image, with a look of helplessness on his face.

Xu Hongdou laughed for a long time before she calmed down. "So, you were so honest the first time you watched a movie with me. Were you so scared that your palms were sweating?"

"I wasn't scared, I was just a little nervous at that time." Chen Mo defended.

"I understand, I understand." Xu Hongdou said, and couldn't help laughing again.

"Can you laugh all at once?" Chen Mo said unhappily.

"Sorry, I don't usually smile like this unless I can't help it."

Xu Hongdou tried hard to calm herself down. After three seconds of calmness, she couldn't help herself.

Chen Mosheng fell back helplessly, letting everyone do whatever they want.

After Xu Hongdou calmed down, she sat next to Chen Mo, leaned on him, and said seriously:

"Don't worry, I won't let you watch horror movies with me anymore. We can watch cartoons together, or even Bald Qiang."

Chen Mo glanced at Xu Hongdou in his arms and curled his lips, "Then thank you."

"You're welcome." Xu Hongdou replied seriously.

Looking at the faint smile on Xu Hongdou's face, Chen Mo became angry. He hugged Xu Hongdou, lowered his head and "bit" her hard.

"Well"

The next day at noon, Xu Hongdou was eating lunch and made a video call home. Soon Xu Jianguo's face appeared on the phone.

"Hey, Dad, happy birthday."

"Hey, were you just eating?" Xu Jianguo nodded with a smile.

"Well, I just had a lunch break, so I quickly called you."

"I thought you forgot again." Xu Hongmi's voice came from beside Xu Jianguo.

"Hmm, why is there Xu Hongmi's voice?" Xu Hongdou frowned.

"What do you think?" The phone quickly switched to Xu Hongmi's face.

"You're back from Shanghai?"

Xu Hongmi nodded. "Not bad. I finally remembered Dad's birthday this year. I was just about to call you."

"When did I forget?" Xu Hongdou retorted.

"Heh, didn't I remind you every year?" Xu Hongmi sneered.

The two were about to quarrel when Lingling's cute little face suddenly appeared between them, "Auntie~~"

Xu Hongdou smiled instantly, "Hey, Lingling~~Do you miss your aunt?"

"Yes, auntie, Lingling still wants to go to the amusement park." Lingling's head was like a chick pecking at food.

"So do you miss your aunt or do you want to go to the amusement park?" Xu Hongdou deliberately put on a stern face.

"I want to, hehe~~" Lingling smiled sweetly but with a hint of embarrassment.

"Lingling, let grandma talk to auntie."

"Oh."

A voice came from the side, and soon it was replaced by Liu Guiqin's face.

"Beans."

"mom."

"The things Xiao Mo bought for your dad have arrived. Why did he waste that money? Your dad doesn't know anything."

As Liu Guiqin was speaking, Xu Jianguo said unconvincedly:

"Why don't I understand?"

"Don't interrupt!" Liu Guiqin glared.

"Mom, what did Chen Mo buy?" Xu Hongdou asked.

Xu Hongdou knew that Chen Mo had sent something to her father, but she was not sure what exactly he had given her.

The reason why Xu Hongdou remembered Xu Jianguo’s birthday today was because Chen Mo reminded her after asking her about what her father liked these two days.

"Xiao Mo gave your dad a complete set of fishing rods. Your sister took a look at it just now and said it was not cheap." Liu Guiqin said.

"You're talking about fishing. Your dad just fishes for fun when he has nothing better to do. He can fish with any bamboo pole, but he never catches any fish anyway."

"I didn't catch anything because of my bad fishing rod. Now that I have a good fishing rod, I will definitely catch something." Xu Jianguo retorted.

"Come on, didn't you just sit there for the entire afternoon for nothing when Lao Li lent you his fishing rod last time?" Liu Guiqin looked disdainful.

"That's not my fishing rod, so it's not suitable for me."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Xu Hongdou quickly interrupted, "Okay, Mom."

"That's Chen Mo's intention. As long as Dad likes it, that's fine."

"Okay, I'm too lazy to say anything to him." Liu Guiqin shook her head, "Next time, tell Xiao Mo not to spend money recklessly, and just be nice to each other." "Okay." Xu Hongdou smiled and nodded, "Do the clothes I bought for Dad fit well?"

"It fits, but your dad has worn out all his leather jackets. The one you bought last year, your dad only wore it a few times."

"I buy leather jackets and leather shoes every year, but I'm not as attentive as Chen Mo." Xu Hongmi's voice of complaint was heard.

"You" Xu Hongdou wanted to refute, but didn't know where to start.

She did habitually buy clothes and shoes for Xu Jianguo every year.

"Okay, okay. Dad will like it very much as long as it's your intention. I have everything I need." Xu Jianguo came out to smooth things over.

"Dad, just tell me what you need and I'll buy it for you," said Xu Hongdou.

"Okay." Xu Jianguo nodded with a smile.

"Dou'er, when will you have your stomach checked?" Liu Guiqin asked with concern.

"Nanxing will go with me tomorrow, and she will also have a color Doppler ultrasound."

"Okay, I'll be relieved if Nan Nan goes with you."

"Don't worry, Mom, Chen Mo is here too."

"Yes, now that Xiao Mo is by your side and can take care of you, Mom is indeed a lot more relieved." Liu Guiqin nodded repeatedly.

"Xiao Mo is a nice kid. He often chats with me."

"He talks to you often?" Xu Hongdou was a little surprised, because she and Liu Guiqin only called each other once every three or four days.

"Yes, you are busy. Xiao Mo said that he is not very busy at work, so he would tell me about your situation when he has nothing to do. So I feel relieved recently."

"If you think it's appropriate, why don't you bring Xiao Mo back to meet us someday?"

"No rush, let's talk about it later." Xu Hongdou shook her head.

How long have they been dating?
It is a matter of a lifetime, Xu Hongdou will not rush into making a decision just because of other people's opinions.

"Okay, it mainly depends on you. You always have your own opinions, so I won't say much." Liu Guiqin nodded.

"Then hurry up and eat first, before the food gets cold."

"Okay, I'll hang up now. You and dad should eat quickly. Bye, Lingling~~"

"Goodbye, auntie~~"

Seeing Xu Hongdou hung up the phone, Xu Hongmi snorted, "You told everyone, but you didn't tell me, right?"

Liu Guiqin said with a smile: "Oh, when you two talk, your nose is not a nose and your eyes are not eyes."

"Then she should also tell me that I am her sister." Xu Hongmi emphasized.

"I don't care about you anymore." Liu Guiqin shook her head.

Xu Hongmi said: "I'll deal with her next time we meet!"

It was a moonlit night with a cool breeze. Xu Hongdou was waiting for Chen Nanxing at the gate of the community.

Seeing Chen Nanxing getting off the car, Xu Hongdou waved happily, "Nanxing~~"

"Red beans~~"

Chen Nanxing ran over and they hugged each other happily.

"Let's go up first."

"Okay, can you eat?"

"Okay, no water or food after ten."

"So what shall we eat?"

"Someone has prepared the meal and is waiting for us."

"Oh, thanks to you, I don't have to eat takeout."

"Say this."

Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing went upstairs. Xu Hongdou directly used her fingerprint to open the door of Chen Mo's house and went in to get slippers for Chen Nanxing.

This scene left Chen Nanxing stunned.

"Come in." Xu Hongdou greeted Chen Nanxing.

Chen Nanxing leaned close to Xu Hongdou's ear and whispered, "Are you two..."

Xu Hongdou felt a little hot in her ears, "No."

"Really?" Chen Nanxing's eyes were full of doubt.

"Really." Xu Hongdou nodded.

"You act like a hostess, but you can even open other people's doors with your fingerprint." Chen Nanxing obviously didn't believe it.

"Chen Mo also knows my password." Xu Hongdou said.

After Chen Mo recorded Xu Hongdou's fingerprints on the door, Xu Hongdou felt embarrassed and tried to ask, "Should I put mine on the door as well?"

Before Xu Hongdou finished speaking, Chen Mo shook his head and then nodded, "I'm so sorry, what was the password?"

If you want to catch something, you must first let it go. If you want to get it, you must first give it.

Xu Hongdou once thought, no, until now, Xu Hongdou still felt that she had fallen into Chen Mo's trap.

"You two can walk in through this door so easily, and you tell me there's nothing in the middle of the night?"

"Oops, this isn't it"

Xu Hongdou wanted to explain when Chen Mo came out from the kitchen.

"What are you two doing standing at the door?"

Chen Nanxing glanced at Xu Hongdou and joked, "Oh, Hongdou is showing me how to open your door."

Xu Hongdou's eyes "warned" Chen Nanxing not to talk nonsense.

Chen Mo didn't care. "I was wondering why I clearly heard the door open, but no one was around for a long time."

"But what's so good about the door? Come wash your hands and come over to eat."

"Okay, then I'll enjoy your dinner for two today." Chen Nanxing said with a smile.

Chen Mo also smiled, "Knowing you were coming, we specially prepared for three people."

"That's so embarrassing."

Chen Nanxing and Xu Hongdou changed their shoes and went into the house.

"It's not the first day we've known each other, why are you being so polite?"

Chen Nanxing said casually: "The better your relationship is, the more I feel like an outsider."

"Oh, don't do that." Chen Mo said immediately.

"If you don't want to come over for dinner, I'll have to eat alone tonight. Anko will definitely accompany you instead of me."

"Is this true?" Chen Nanxing looked at Xu Hongdou.

"Of course." Xu Hongdou raised her eyebrows.

"See." Chen Mo shrugged.

Chen Nanxing's eyes immediately welled up, "Wow, I'm so moved."

"Okay, okay, let's be moved after dinner." Xu Hongdou shook her head.

The three of them sat down and started eating.

After taking a bite, Chen Nanxing gave a thumbs up and said, "The craftsmanship is as good as ever."

"No improvement? I've learned a lot of new things recently." Chen Mo raised his eyebrows.

Chen Nanxing took another bite and shook his head, "Really not."

"Maybe you haven't yet integrated what you have just learned into one whole." Chen Nanxing said seriously.

Chen Mo nodded in agreement, "I am too obsessed with every move. Once I realize that no move is better than a move, I will surely be able to achieve great success."

Chen Nanxing nodded seriously. "Well, I believe that the throne of the God of Cooking belongs to you."

"Ah." Listening to the conversation between these two funny guys, Xu Hongdou couldn't help rubbing her brows.

"Two kitchen folks, can we eat first?"

"Of course, please." Chen Mo gestured with his hand.

"Please." Chen Nanxing returned the greeting.

Xu Hongdou covered her face and couldn't bear to watch.

"Hahaha." Chen Mo and Chen Nanxing couldn't help laughing at the same time.

"Congwen also said that we should get together again after your physical examination tomorrow," said Chen Mo.

"He told me that it's not a good idea to drink before the physical examination. Let's get together again after the examination." Chen Nanxing smiled.

"Indeed, after the physical examination, I should be able to drink it with confidence." Xu Hongdou nodded.

Chen Mo smiled and shook his head.

The three of them ate in a happy atmosphere, and then Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing washed the dishes together. Chen Mo wanted to help but was rejected by the two and was not allowed to do it.
