For any family, children are the most important part. Some families close to rupture will continue because of the involvement of children.
Ning Xueqing is a very traditional woman. She follows this tradition very well.
In Huo Bufan''s opinion, it''s not impossible to have another child. He even said he was happy to do so.
Tangtang is very obedient and clever. She is a lovely child.
But logically speaking, she is the child of Ning Xueqing and Li Shuheng, not Huo Bufan. Even if he occupied Li Shuheng''s body, Huo Bufan always knew who his soul belonged to.
Have another child, that''s his real blood relative.
Of course, wanting a second child doesn''t mean alienating Tangtang. On the contrary, it will make Huo Bufan treat this girl better. Because to have a second child is a prejudice against Tangtang, which makes people feel guilty.
When to have this second child, Huo Bufan is still looking forward to it.
Although he and Ning Xueqing have been close, he has never crossed the thunder pool.
It''s not that I don''t want to or can''t. now Huo Bufan doesn''t have those knots.
The reason why I don''t do it is because I always feel that there is a lack of opportunity.
So holding Ning Xueqing, Huo Bufan didn''t do anything, but slept quietly in the same bed.
The next morning, someone knocked at the door.
Huo Bufan opened his eyes before dawn. He opened the door and stood outside a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man looked at Huo Bufan, his expression was not too enthusiastic, but seemed a little cold.
Without Huo Bufan''s permission, he stepped in and said, "you''ve been away for many years. You may be strange to the family rules. The fourth master asked me to remind you. Go wash first, someone will change your clothes later, then have dinner, and then go to see the old lady. When you see the old lady, remember to kneel down and kowtow to express your apology for not being filial for many years. In addition, many people may come at that time, either your elders or the top of the family. You should serve tea and salute one by one. Don''t lose the courtesy. "
The middle-aged man kept talking there, regardless of whether Huo Bufan accepted it or not.
Huo Bufan looked at him calmly without interruption.
At this time, Ning Xueqing also put on her clothes and came out. The middle-aged man looked at her and said, "just stay in the room and don''t walk around. This is not your small city or ordinary family. It will be very troublesome to walk around and collide with anyone."
Ning Xueqing didn''t know the identity of the other party. When she heard the slightly severe tone, her expression was a little uneasy.
If the middle-aged man only puts pressure on Huo Bufan, Huo Bufan may not do much.
But his words clearly didn''t take Ning Xueqing seriously, which made Huo Bufan very unhappy.
When we came back, Li Shengbin begged to come back, but we didn''t want to come by ourselves, and we didn''t know your origin. When we came in, there were a lot of things. Which onion did we think we were?
Huo Bufan was not used to him and said directly, "sorry, she is my wife and needs to go out with me."
The middle-aged man paused. He turned and looked at Huo Bufan. His tone and expression were more severe and said, "I said, she wants to stay in the room!"
"I said she wanted to be with me!" Huo Bufan said tit for tat.
The middle-aged man''s chest fluctuated rapidly several times, which showed that he was in a bad mood.
This man is the housekeeper of the Li family. He is a very professional and has served the Li family for more than 30 years.
From the age of fifteen, he learned all kinds of etiquette, skills and management methods. At the age of 25, he has served as the third housekeeper, and at the age of 30, he served as the chief housekeeper.
Those who come to the Li family may not know all the people surnamed Li, but they must know the man named Cao Heming.
He is well organized, professional and decisive, which is highly valued by the old lady. Even the ordinary Li family should be polite to him and should not be treated as a servant.
Cao Heming stayed in the Li family for such a long time and met countless great people. Ordinary young children even seem humble in front of him.
People like Li Shuheng are not legitimate, but just illegitimate children who can''t see the light, let alone in his eyes.
Even if the Li family lacks men now, how dare a young man who has been away for eight years dare to talk in front of him?
Seeing Cao Heming''s gloomy face, Ning Xueqing didn''t want to get into trouble when she first came to the Li family because she was alone, so she came to pull Huo Bufan for a while and whispered, "it''s all right, you go, I can be here alone."
"No, I said you must go!" Huo Bufan refused her once with a rare arrogance.
Ning Xueqing has no dissatisfaction, because she knows that her husband''s domineering is to protect her from being bullied. She is only moved in her heart.
But for Cao Heming, this is tantamount to challenging his dignity as a housekeeper.
"Young master, it seems that you have really left the Li family for too long and don''t know how to be measured!" Cao Heming said.
Huo Bufan looked at him with a calm face and a gentle tone: "I don''t think I''m out of measure. It''s you who broke into other people''s resting place before dawn in such an early morning. I don''t even know who you are. Why should I listen to you here? "
"You don''t know me?" Cao Heming seemed a little surprised.
When Li Shuheng left that year, he was only in his early twenties, but he was taken into the Li family at the age of twelve or thirteen. How can he not know the housekeeper.
Cao Heming can only think that the other party is deliberately humiliating him.
His face became more serious and he said, "it seems that you have lost your mind except that you don''t know how to be measured! I''m Cao Heming, the housekeeper of Li''s house. According to the family rules, young people like you should salute first when they see me! "
The Li family does have such rules. The big housekeeper is equivalent to half of the housekeeper. It doesn''t matter to the elders, but the younger generation needs to salute first in order to express their respect for the big housekeeper.
Huo Bufan doesn''t care what rules. The Huo family also has a so-called big housekeeper, but they know respect and inferiority very well. No matter how powerful you are, you also know who pays the salary.
Like Cao Heming, he really regarded himself as the master by virtue of his long service in the Li family.
Others are afraid of him, but Huo Bufan won''t be afraid.
"You are the housekeeper and I am the young master. Do you need to salute you? Do you really think you are someone! No wonder the Li family is declining. Even a servant doesn''t understand what is respect or inferiority and what is a master and servant. " Huo Bufan said.
"You!" Cao Heming''s face turned red. No one said similar words, but it was the first time someone dared to say it in front of him.
If you listen to some words behind your back, you will not feel bad, but will be proud. But it''s a complete embarrassment to be said in person.
"Unreasonable! Since you don''t know the rules, don''t blame me for telling the old lady all this! If you look back and get punished, don''t say I didn''t remind you! " Cao Heming said, threw his sleeves and left.
Ning Xueqing intended to stop the other party and say two good words, but Huo Bufan pulled her: "don''t worry about him, let him go."
"But..." Ning Xueqing couldn''t move because of him. Seeing Cao Heming leaving angrily, he was a little worried and said, "he is the housekeeper of your family. He has a good relationship with his family. You offended him as soon as you came back. What if you really speak ill of you? "
"Just say it. It''s a big deal. Let''s return it. Anyway, the Li family, I''m not going to stay more. " Huo Bufan''s indifferent way.
From his expression and tone, Ning Xueqing can judge that her husband is not lying.
He is really not interested in this big family with amazing assets, which makes Ning Xueqing very surprised and puzzled.
The husband is not a man indifferent to money, which can be seen from his business experience. People who don''t like money can''t make money.
So, in a family like the Li family, countless people want to climb a relationship. Now he has such a good start, why don''t he cherish it at all?
Inner doubt, but Ning Xueqing didn''t ask anything.
She also doesn''t like this place with too many rules. It''s not as comfortable as her own little house.
Her biggest wish in her life is just to have her own house, be able to face the sun, have three bedrooms and a small yard, sit in the yard with her husband and children, watch the sunset and eat barbecue, which is enough.
