"Where is your Xueru? I want to talk to your Xueru?"
Cai Quanwu said unwillingly. After all, persuading Chen Xueru to participate in the barter was a task assigned by Xu Huizhen. Of course, Cai Quanwu had to do his best to complete it.
"You can talk to her, but not to participate. This is the consensus reached by everyone in our family. Don't say that you are going to find Chen Xueru. Even if you go to your little son-in-law, he will not agree to you," Fan Jinyou said.

"Cai Quanwu came to see me again. He still wants our family to barter with them."
Fan Jinyou said after Chen Xueru came back in the evening.
"He also came to see me, and I didn't agree to him. But he told me that Vladimir and Irina were going to a tavern for a drink today and revisit their old place. He invited us to go there together."
"Then let's go over and have a look later."
After eating at home, the two of them came to the tavern again.
The tavern has changed in the past two years. After making some money, He Yongqiang was finally willing to renovate the tavern simply. The walls were whitewashed, the doors and windows were stripped of paint, and the broken tables left by Xu Huizhen were ruined.
The chair will be replaced with a new one.
There are still some effects, at least it looks a lot brighter and cleaner, and some young people come occasionally.
"Lao He, business is good."
"Generally, it can't be compared with your boss Fan's business."
"I don't care about it now, it's all about the children."
"Child...oh..."
"Your children are also very good, especially Lixia. They all went abroad for further studies."
After Hou Kui and Xu Jingli went abroad, they started a trend of going abroad in the Xu family.
First, Xu Jingli sent back one of Hou Kui's father's neighbors, an ugly Chinese named Huang Hexiang.
This ugly Chinese guy came over and didn't do anything good. He brought back two color TV sets for Xu Huizhen.
Afraid that Chen Xueru would be jealous, Fan Jinyou also asked someone to spend a lot of money to buy one for his family.
They also went to Chou Country. Xu Jingli had no money, so she could buy two color TV sets for her family.
Hou Kui has a rich father who is not short of money, but he didn't even think of bringing a color TV to Chen Xueru.
There is no doubt that Hou Kui is looking down at her. Xu Jingli, Hou Kui's daughter-in-law, naturally has no regard for Chen Xueru, her mother-in-law. Of course, the gift of color TVs will only be given to her natal family.
That's right, after arriving in Chou Country, Xu Jingli still married Hou Kui because she had a Chou Country father because she could get a green card by marrying someone from Chou Country.
Because Huang Hexiang was an ugly Chinese, he immediately became obsessed with Xu Jingping, who wanted to go abroad.
After Xu Jingping became lovesick and fell ill, and sought life and death, he successfully followed the Chou countryman Huang Hexiang out of the country.
Of course, Xu Jingping’s results are not bad. Although Huang Hexiang is not good at speaking Chinese, he is still studying for a Ph.D. and his conditions are quite good in all aspects.
The situation is much better than that of Fan Jinyou, who has seen many people go on hunger strike, seek death, break off their relationships, and marry old men from ugly countries in order to go abroad.
Next, He Lixia, who envied the daughter of the Xu family for going abroad, followed her with Xu Huizhen's support.
Even Xu Jingtian would have wanted to go abroad if she hadn't found out the reason for her pregnancy.
"It's hard to put into words."
He Yongqiang has not lived in the city for a few years in vain. He has lived in the countryside for half his life and can still use idioms.
Fan Jinyou probably knew why He Yongqiang was unhappy when he mentioned his daughter.
Originally, He Chunfen and He Lixia were closer to Xu Huizhen than their own parents.
Now his only heart is towards his daughter He Xiaoxia, who is about to be assimilated by Xu Huizhen.
He Xiaoxia's change was also because of men.
As Xu Huizhen often went to hotels, she met Li Guoqiang, who was going to introduce his work as a hotel chef to his relatives.
Li Guoqiang originally liked He Lixia, but He Xiaoxia fell in love with her.
Although Li Guoqiang is a little older, Da He Xiaoxia is in her teens, and her family conditions are not good, but he is still a college student after all, and He Xiaoxia, who has an elementary school education, is definitely not worthy of him.
In order to make himself better, He Xiaoxia could only imitate his "excellent" third aunt Xu Huizhen, and became more and more like Xu Huizhen.
"Then we'll have a chance to talk slowly."
Fan Junyou saw Xu Huizhen and Vladimir entering the tavern and said to He Yongqiang.
Although He Yongqiang has not done anything major in the past two years, he can ask Xu Huizhen every now and then to ask him how to pickle pickles, which is enough to make Xu Huizhen upset.
Even though I have been here for nearly thirty years, most of the customers in the tavern are still the same as before.
I saw Vladimir and Irina coming in. They had not seen each other for many years and they both greeted them warmly.
"I didn't expect that the tavern has not changed much after so many years."
Vladimir sighed.
"Yes, yes, it's still the familiar tavern." The same goes for Irina.
"Vladimir, Elena, the place has not changed and the people have not changed. Come and try again to see if the wine in the tavern is still the same as before."
Xu Huizhen said enthusiastically, feeling as if she was a tavern owner.
The two Soviets still had a glass of beer each, and then sat down at the same table with Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru.
Fan Jinyou and Cai Quanwu sat at a table.
"Xueru, Fan Jinyou, we will go back in two days. Do you want to follow us to the Soviet Union and see if you want to do it later?"
After reminiscing about the past and chatting for a while, Vladimir revealed his purpose.
Everyone is very busy, so we invited them all to this tavern together. How can it be just nostalgia.
"We won't go this time. We have a lot of things to do at home. We will go there next time when we have the chance."
"Yes, yes, this trade is not a one-time deal. We will cooperate again if we have the opportunity in the future."
After being repeatedly rejected by Fan Jinyou and Chen Xueru, the two groups finally gave up the idea of bringing people on board.
In order to barter, each of them started to make preparations, and began to investigate which supplies had sufficient supply and were more profitable.
A few days after this happened, Chen Xueru returned home and said with joy,
"Hou Kui is coming back!"
"It's only been two years, has Hou Kui graduated from Chou Country as a graduate student?"
"Not yet. It's my child's school vacation. I miss home. I want to go back to my country and visit my family."
Chen Xueru took it for granted that Hou Kui missed his mother.
"That's not bad."
To be fair, Hou Kui can still come back, and he has to thank Xu Huizhen.
If Xu Huizhen and Xu Jingli didn't have a deep relationship and Xu Jingli wanted to come back to see Xu Huizhen, Hou Kuizhen might not be able to come back.
"We will arrive at noon tomorrow. You can follow me to pick me up."
"I can't go tomorrow, so I've contacted someone and I'll go to the Housing Authority to transfer the house tomorrow. It's very urgent and I don't want to miss the appointment."
Hou Kui didn't even want to be his stepfather, and went to find his own father. He didn't even do any superficial things to benefit his son.
There was no need for Fan Jinyou to act like a nice stepfather and went to the airport to pick him up.
