Wife’s Funny Life - Chapter 49
When Commander Liu left, Wu Anguo no longer had a backer in Shanghai. At this time, he was treating Du Yuesheng to a meal. If he could honor her, then Wu Anguo’s journey in Shanghai would be much smoother in the future.
After all, currently, the Wu Residence was a large family. Wu Anguo had an open and straightforward character and was on good terms with his subordinates. Even if he failed and fled to Shanghai, there would still be many Tie Zhong following him.
A highly intelligent advisor like Zhang Shiqing and a fierce general like Li Zilong would be better off anywhere they wanted to go than following Wu Anguo right now. But they all stayed behind.
Song Yi Han also stayed behind. He wasn’t loyal or anything like that. He seemed to be very busy recently, and he was like a fish in water in Shanghai. He was invited every day, so his reputation was much higher than Wu An Guo’s.
“Little Treasure, I want to invite your Big Brother Du for a meal in a few days. What do you think?” Wu Anguo tentatively asked for the little girl’s opinion.
When Xu Bao heard this, he immediately agreed.
Wu Anguo’s forehead twitched. He knew that he was overthinking things. When it came to food, it was better not to discuss it with the little girl. She would definitely agree.
“Then Little Treasure, didn’t you say last time that you were going to cook for Big Brother?” The fire here does not need to be made with rocks, so you can definitely light it up. Why don’t you try cooking a few dishes? ” Wu Anguo said carefully.
This was also Zhang Shiqing’s suggestion. If Xu Bao could cook a few dishes, he would look sincere.
Xu Bao thought, “Oh, that’s right. I didn’t do it last time, so I forgot to do it.” Hearing her big brother’s suggestion, she readily agreed. No problem!
With the experience from last time, Wu Anguo was still actively guarding the kitchen door, watching as the little girl prepared duck, beef, pork, chicken, and then went in and out of the kitchen as if she was busy with a major job. Wu Anguo was very pleased.
Since he arrived in Shanghai and heard his son say that his daughter-in-law wasn’t pregnant at all, Old Wu was very angry. Now, he didn’t care at all and went out for a walk every day with the birdcage. However, when he heard that his daughter-in-law was going to cook, he was also very excited, so he went home early to wait for her. Watching his son wandering around the kitchen door, he scolded, “An Guo, don’t just stand there. Xiao Bao is too nervous and can’t do well.”
Wu Anguo felt the same way when he thought about it, so he sat at the dining table with his father and played chess. He opened the dining room door and looked at the kitchen, just in case.
Seeing that girl bring a big cat to her side while cooking, she was truly speechless. What could a big cat do if she didn’t ask the servants to help?
Finally, when both he and his father were about to faint from hunger, Xu Bao personally appeared on stage with a big bowl in his hands.
Seeing that the little girl’s face was still pale, Wu Anguo heaved a sigh of relief.
“Little Treasure, you’ve worked hard!” Old Man Wu praised first.
Xu Bao touched his forehead, which was not dripping with sweat, and said, “Thank you, Father. It’s no trouble at all. Let’s start to eat.”
“Alright, let’s start the meal.” Wu Anguo said lovingly as he rubbed Xu Bao’s head.
The two of them simultaneously frowned and spat out the dishes on the table. They found some water to drink and asked in unison, “Little Treasure, what dishes are this?”
“The shredded radish?” Didn’t you taste it?
Wu Anguo and Mr Wu shook their heads blankly. ‘Radish is so salty and black, isn’t it?’
When Xu Bao heard that he couldn’t taste the radish, he happily replied, “That’s great! Third Aunt said that as long as we can get it out without the smell of turnips, we’ll be successful!”
Wu Anguo and Mr Wu rolled their eyes at the same time. Third Aunt, who was standing by the door, was originally prepared to come in and serve them, but now she pretended to be busy and stealthily slipped out.
“What about the other dishes?” Wu Anguo asked. He had just seen the little girl preparing so much meat and coming in and out of the kitchen. After being busy for so long, there should be more dishes.
“No more, just a portion of the shredded radish.” Xu Bao smiled and said, “Third Aunt said that she wants to eat mouthful after mouthful, and she wants to copy all the dishes!”
“What about the whole chicken, duck, beef, and mutton?” Wu Anguo had clearly seen so much meat.
“Oh. Those are for big cats. ” Xu Bao said as if it was a matter of course.
Wu Anguo and Mr Wu both turned their heads to wipe their tears away. They might as well be an animal.
Third Aunt went out for a while, thinking that she had nothing to do with herself. Just as she was about to enter, she heard Xu Bao say, “Third Aunt said that the big cat is our big benefactor, so you have to serve him well.”
At this moment, Wu Anguo and Mr Wu shouted at the same time, “Third Aunt, get the hell in here!”
Third Aunt, who had already turned around and was about to leave, calmly turned back and said, “Young Master, Master, the big cat is almost done eating. I’m going to pack up the dishes. You guys take care.” With that, he twisted his fat butt and left.
Looking at the father and son sitting opposite to a bowl of burnt shredded radish, Xu Bao took a step forward and smiled in embarrassment. “Big brother, father, I’ll go take a look as well. The big cat is done eating. Do you want to take a bath?”
Wu Anguo told Zhang Shiqing about it in the afternoon. Zhang Shiqing sipped a cup of tea and said, “Then let my sister-in-law boil some water. Although it’s a strenuous task, she’s the one who did it.”
Thus, Du Yuesheng came as a guest.
Xu Bao warmly said, “Big Brother Du, drink some tea.”
Du Yuesheng smiled as she drank her tea.
Xu Bao warmly said, “Big Brother Du, drink some tea.”
Du Yuesheng nodded and smiled as she drank her tea.
Before he even ate, his tea was already full. After finishing his meal, Wu Anguo naturally left Du Yuesheng to speak. Du Yuesheng very curiously asked Wu Anguo, “What special horses do your family’s tea leaves have? Why does Little Treasure keep on asking me to drink tea? ”
Wu Anguo stammered, “That boiling water was boiled by her, so she let you drink your tea.”
Du Yuesheng immediately felt like she had a stomach full of water.
Du Yuesheng had a good impression of Wu Anguo from the start, and with Xu Bao’s added reason, she had a good impression of Wu Anguo.
Listen to him talk about Customs.
Du Yuesheng lowered her head and thought for a moment before saying, “Customs needs to deal with more foreigners. It’s best to have a recommendation from the foreigners, and the person in charge of the headquarters is the Captain Xiao Bailu. If you can get through, that’s fine.”
Wu Anguo nodded gratefully.
After chatting with Du Yuesheng about the situation in Shanghai, Wu Anguo felt that he had benefited greatly.
When Du Yuesheng took her leave, Xu Bao gave her a thermos bottle as he said with a smile, “Big Brother Du, you must be thirsty on the road to drink!”
Wu Anguo was so embarrassed! He wanted to dig into the ground.
Du Yuesheng nodded and took the thermos bottle. The early spring was cold, but there was a warmth in his hands. This was probably the cheapest gift he had ever received.
Later did not know that for Mao Shanghai high society all popular out of a bottle of warm water, arms in the hands, seems to be fashionable, and can also quench thirst.
If you don’t hold a thermos bottle, people will call you. If Master Du went out to get a thermos, it meant that he had to maintain his demeanor while being warm, understand?
At this moment, Wu Anguo was worrying. He knew James about the foreigners, but he hadn’t contacted him back in Shanghai. He didn’t know what was going on, but that wasn’t the main point.
Wu Anguo had sent people to ask all over the place, but none of them had found anything special about him, nor had they found anything lustful or lustful about him. He was usually very low-key, and if it wasn’t for Wu Anguo taking his course, no one would have known that such an ascetic person would actually be the head of the Customs Department.
Du Yuesheng’s aides were sitting in the room. They were very curious when they saw their boss holding a thermos bottle and recalled the strange style of Shanghai. That day when he went to the Wu family with his boss, he naturally knew where the hot water bottle came from. Although he was curious, but as his subordinate, the rules were very strict, so he didn’t dare to casually ask questions.
He only opened his mouth and said, “Master Du, I heard that someone was recently inquiring about Xiao Bai Lu.”
He said there was someone. Du Yuesheng was a smart person, so she naturally knew that he was referring to Wu Anguo.
“Are you curious as to why I told others but didn’t do anything good to the end?” Du Yuesheng asked without any expression. When there were no outsiders around, Du Yuesheng’s poker face made people feel a great sense of pressure. The aide nodded.
“If he can’t even do this, then he’s not worthy of her.” After saying that, Du Yuesheng continued hugging the hot water bottle with her eyes closed, as though she was thinking of something or sleeping.
The aide knew that he had talked too much and went out quietly with his head lowered. In their eyes, Du Yuesheng was not like the smiling good guy in the baths in Shanghai. He was a wolf that wouldn’t bark if it bit someone to death. At the same time, he also knew the importance of that girl. The Du Residence had raised a fat horse, and four servants were waiting on her.
“Big bro, come over and help me. Hurry up, the big cat is lazy and can’t move anymore. Can you help me push it if it’s sick?” When Xu Bao was full, he went to play with the big cat. The big cat lazily ignored her, and she hummed as she came to find her husband.
Wu Anguo, who was annoyed, patiently said, “Little Treasure, be good and go play by yourself. Big brother still has things to do, so I can’t accompany you.”
Xu Bao did not work anymore, since everyone had something to do. They were looking for Third Aunt and Third Aunt, who said that she wanted to pay with their shoes while Wu Zhong and Wu Zhong went to do some work. Meanwhile, their brother had given them some time off to visit their families, so they didn’t come back yet.
Big Cat ignored her, even Big Brother ignored her.
“No, Big Brother, if you need anything, Little Treasure can help you!” Xu Bao pouted.
Wu Anguo had no other choice, so he told the little girl, “I’m going to give a gift to a big shot named Xiao Bailu, but I don’t know what he likes.”
Xu Bao tilted his head and thought for two seconds before saying, “That’s simple. I’ll handle it. It will definitely be done.”
Wu Anguo naturally thought that the little girl was in a hurry to ask him to play with her, so he said whatever he wanted. Wu Anguo naturally thought that the little girl was in a hurry to play with him, so he said whatever he wanted.
On the second day, Wu Anguo was still sending people to ask about the news. If it really didn’t work out, then he would just give them some gold bars. The gold bars were the safest and also small in size. However, he was under a lot of pressure. It seemed that a lot of people were here to give Xiao Bai Lu gifts. He would definitely not be able to pick out the gold bars, but there was nothing he could do about it.
He didn’t expect Xu Bao to come and play with him in the afternoon.
Wu Anguo’s head even ached as he said, “Be good, Little Treasure. Big brother still has things to do, so I can’t accompany you.”
Xu Bao said unhappily, “Big brother lied. Yesterday, he clearly said that he would play with me after everything is settled. I already had my gift sent out in the morning, yet you still say that you have something on. It’s obvious that you don’t want to accompany me.”
“What?” The present has already been sent over? ” Wu Anguo was shocked.
“What did you send?”
Last time we were on the mountain, didn’t Big Cat give us a lot of deer?” You said that man was called Xiao Bailu, and my father said that whatever a person lacks, their name must be given. Therefore, his family must be short of deer, so I gave him a box of deer antlers and a deer whip. Xu Bao proudly said that she used her IQ to do things. Big brother, hurry up and praise me.
Wu Anguo sucked in a breath of cold air as he slumped back against the sofa. It’s over, it’s over! His name is Xiao Bai Lu, and you’re actually giving him deer whips? Isn’t the meaning clear that you’re going to castrate him?
He could already foresee that Xiao Bai Lu, who received the gift, would definitely feel that his headache was more painful than the chicken!
