I'm back in 1990

Chapter 736: A Good Daughter-in-Law

Dear fans of Four Seasons Leeks, the latest chapter of "1990, I'm Back" has been released!

Huang Xiaochuan entered the house reeking of alcohol and with a flushed face.

Seeing the man's condition, Yu Xiang quickly poured him a glass of glucose and handed it to him: "How much did you drink at noon? You're like this?"

Huang Xiaochuan took the glucose and drank it all in one gulp, then handed the glass back to Yu Xiang.

He rubbed his forehead and said, "It was just the two of us, Zhang Gaolei and I. We didn't drink much. We shared a bottle, and he drank more than me." As he spoke, Huang Xiaochuan hurriedly took off his coat. The alcohol he had drunk at noon, along with the spicy soup and mutton stew, made him feel extremely hot.

Yu Xiang took the cup and said, "Drink less tonight."

"Okay, I understand!" Huang Xiaochuan nodded.

Huang Xiaochuan leaned back on the sofa to rest for a while, but felt that something was missing from the house. He looked around and didn't see his two kids. It seemed that they weren't home. Not only were they not home, but even that ugly thing wasn't home.

He then asked Yu Xiang, "Where are Xiaodong and Xiaoduo?"

Yu Xiang put the cup back in the kitchen and sat down next to Huang Xiaochuan, squeezing out some hand cream and applying it.

"My eldest sister and Xuanxuan came by earlier and took Xiaodong and Xiaoduo to their house. My eldest sister will take them to my second brother's house for dinner tonight."

Knowing where the two children were, Huang Xiaochuan lay back down. After drinking at noon, his head would feel dizzy, so Huang Xiaochuan rarely drank at noon. After a while, he changed his position and lay down on the sofa. Unexpectedly, he fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

During this time, Yu Xiang originally wanted him to go upstairs to sleep, but he couldn't be woken up, so she had to go upstairs to get a blanket and cover him with it.

She slept until 5:40, and seeing that it was time to go out, Yu Xiang decided to wake the man up.

"Get up quickly! Hurry up and pack your things so we can leave." Yu Xiang kept pushing Huang Xiaochuan.

Huang Xiaochuan sat up sleepily, a thin blanket draped over him slipping to the floor. Yu Xiang grabbed it and immediately took him to the laundry room, but she came out quickly.

After glancing at the man, she asked with concern, "How are you? Maybe you shouldn't go tonight?"

Huang Xiaochuan waved his hand: "I'm fine. Wait for me a moment, I'm going to take a shower and change my clothes."

Huang Xiaochuan usually takes showers in seconds. In less than ten minutes, he came downstairs, and his hair was already dry.

Yu Xiang's biggest complaint was the man's careless bathing habits, and she protested many times. However, Huang Xiaochuan argued that this would save precious water resources, which made Yu Xiang both amused and exasperated. In the end, she could only let him have his way.

Huang Erhe's house is a modern lane house. Unlike the usual single-room modern lane houses, his house is a double-room house, which means that two houses were combined into one. Of course, it was not changed later, but was designed and built this way. However, it was renovated before Huang Erhe moved in.

This house is three and a half stories high, and that half-story is actually the attic.

The Huang family of four now lives here. Their living conditions are quite spacious and comfortable, surpassing those of 99 other Shanghai residents at the same time. However, compared to the housing conditions of other families in the family, it is a bit inferior.

Huang Erhe was quite satisfied. While there were many advantages to owning a detached old house with a large courtyard, it was simply too expensive for him. Living in such a house would require hiring several housekeepers, otherwise just cleaning the house would exhaust the couple.

Not to mention the yard that also needs to be taken care of, which is even more troublesome and requires some knowledge of gardening. As for the house they live in now, when he and his father lived there, he felt it was a bit too spacious. Fortunately, he later married Cheng Jing, and Cheng Jing brought Mi Guo with her, which made the house more lively and gave it a homey atmosphere.

Originally, after he married Cheng Jing, his younger brother Huang Xiaochuan asked him to go and look at several high-end villa projects developed by Guangda Real Estate in Shanghai, and to choose one at random as a wedding gift for him and Cheng Jing. However, he declined. In his opinion, a house is enough to live in. As it stands, he is already very satisfied. Not to mention that he also has a large villa by Taihu Lake in Suzhou, and there is a dedicated property management company to take care of it for him. When he gets tired of living in the city, he can go to Taihu Lake for a few days to enjoy life. Life is very comfortable. Moreover, he is also financially well-off. Not only does he receive a considerable amount of income from the family trust every month, but his elderly mother, Zeng Lijuan, also transfers money to him from time to time. He can't refuse to accept it. He spends more than he earns. Over time, Huang Erhe's savings in the bank have exceeded ten million.

After the banquet began, Huang Erhe, holding a bottle of wine, asked his father, "Dad, shall I pour you some?"

Old Huang didn't say anything, but first looked at his wife Zeng Lijuan. Zeng Lijuan was keeping a close eye on him now, mainly because she was concerned about his health, so Old Huang still had to consider his wife's feelings.

Zeng Lijuan put on an indifferent expression, but said, "Why are you looking at me? If you're not afraid your blood pressure will spike to 220, then go ahead and drink!"

Old Huang chuckled awkwardly, and was just about to ask Huang Erhe to pour wine for the others when...

At this point, Zeng Jiahua smoothed things over, smiling and advising, "Oh dear, it's the New Year, just let your brother-in-law have a little, but not too much, just two glasses!"

Seeing his brother-in-law chime in, Old Huang quickly nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, yes, just two cups! It's the New Year! Let's have a drink and have some fun!" (in Wu dialect, meaning everyone is happy).

Zeng Lijuan turned her face away, not caring anymore. This was considered a tacit agreement, and Huang Erhe then poured wine into Lao Huang's glass.

At this moment, Cheng Jing placed a piece of ribbonfish in front of Zeng Lijuan and said with a smile, "Mom, I know you like ribbonfish. I specially learned how to cook it like you. Try it and see how it is. If there's anything wrong, please give me some pointers!"

"I definitely have to try this!" Zeng Lijuan happily picked up her chopsticks.

She was extremely satisfied with her second daughter-in-law. As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. Back then, she, as the mother-in-law, had never received such filial piety from her former second daughter-in-law, Fan Yingrong. She had never invited her to eat more than a few meals, and they were always at restaurants. She never asked her parents-in-law what they liked to eat or what they should avoid eating.

Thank goodness they got divorced, otherwise her second son would never have found such a good wife.

The large family was having a meal, and the constant chatter created a lively atmosphere.

And finishing this meal means that the Spring Festival holiday is about to end.
