Chapter 162, The Arrival of Parents-in-law

It's just a dry kiss anyway.

"I'm not going."

An's mother answered with certainty, and it was the Zhou family who came to meet her.

With three people missing from the house, it was indeed a little quieter than before.

Even if Zhou Yan and the others are not at home during the day, being away and coming back at night are two different things.

Everyone felt very disappointed.

"Mom, how about we make some tiger skin meat this afternoon? That will be a good opportunity to steam some braised pork with pork for Dad." All An Qianqian could do was to divert her mother's attention.

When they heard about cooking tiger skin meat and braised pork, they were both interested.

"I think it's a good idea. We happen to have some sweet wine left. Let's use it up. If we have time, we can steam some glutinous rice and cover it with the sweet wine." Li Yulan helped Qianqian persuade.

Mother An knew what they were thinking, so how could she not obey?

"Okay, then let's celebrate Chinese New Year today."

Life at home was getting better and better, the children were all successful, and the parents of both families were not the kind of people who would skimp on money, so they took action immediately.

When Mao's father came back at noon, he smelled the fragrance from the house, and his appetite was aroused.

"What are you doing?" Mao's father came to the kitchen following the smell.

"You came at the right time. We don't have enough firewood at home. Please go buy some." They were used to cooking with firewood, and they had continued to use firewood after coming to Kyoto.

It is impossible to go up the mountain to cut them by yourself, most of them are brought back by Jianxing from the village.

When it’s not enough, I will still go out and buy some.

"Okay, I'll go buy some." They're selling them outside the compound, so there's no need to walk far.

But people from outside can't come in.

"Dad, please take some more money and ask the sentry at the door to bring it in." An Qianqian shouted to her father-in-law from behind.

"OK."

The sentries are all very nice and they are always willing to help out with any small matters on a daily basis.

Of course, the people in the hospital were also very grateful to them and sent them food from time to time.

"Look at your father. He runs as fast as a mouse when he smells food." Li Yulan teased her old man.

"I'll tell my father-in-law later that you said he was a rat." Mother An said with a cheerful laugh.

"Go ahead and tell him. I'm not afraid of him."

In the kitchen, three people were busy.

Just a bite at noon and you can have a sumptuous dinner.

The children had seen so much food that the disappointment in their hearts had long been forgotten.

Not to mention Ruirui, even his biological parents are not important.

"Mom, this is delicious. I want to eat more." Yuanyuan loves sweet food. Once she eats the sweet wine dumplings made by her grandma, she can't stop.

Eat one bowl or two bowls.

"Eat less. This is made of glutinous rice. You won't be able to digest it if you eat too much." An Qianqian doesn't indulge her.

I've already eaten two bowls. If I eat any more, my stomach will hurt.

"Eat some vegetables. The food mom cooked today is delicious." This child loves sweets.

Yuanyuan didn't dare to refute her mother and didn't dare to mention it again.

But the grandmother and the great-grandmother couldn't stand it anymore and chimed in, "If the child likes to eat, let her eat and just let her sleep later at night."

"No, if she eats too much, her indigestion stomach will be very uncomfortable." I don't know who my daughter took after, but her stomach is very weak.

Even though she was nourished by the mist water, she still had some minor problems.

Of course, if she doesn't eat too much, she'll be just like a normal person.

"Grandma, I don't want to eat anymore. I just want to have some more vegetables." Yuanyuan is a good child.

The Mao family was happily enjoying the delicious food, but things were not going well for the Zhou family.

"What's wrong with me bringing your nephew here? Wouldn't it be better for him to go to school in Kyoto? Zhou Yan is your nephew."

It turned out that when they went to pick people up today, they found that not only their parents came, but also his eldest brother's son.

The eldest brother’s son is several years older than Ruirui and one year older than Pingping.

I don’t know what he was thinking, but he actually sent him to his younger brother’s house to go to school.

"Mom, you should have told me in advance." Zhou Yan looked helpless.

Wang Xiaoyu was unhappy, but she didn't say anything. She sat on the sofa holding Ruirui and watched them quarrel.

Ruirui might have been frightened and held her mother's clothes tightly.

"If we had told you in advance, would you have let us come to Kyoto?" Zhou's mother looked as if she was saying, "I see through you."

Zhou's father is better. He actually loves his two sons equally. But now that the second son is well off, it is only right for him to help the eldest brother's family.

Brothers united.

"Why didn't I let you come?" Zhou Yan felt overwhelmed.

"If you wanted us to come, why didn't you tell me and your father as soon as you arrived in Kyoto? If we hadn't called the Northwest, we wouldn't have known you were in Kyoto." Mother Zhou became angrier and angrier the more she thought about it.

Wang Xiaoyu never imagined that the old man who was so kind to her at the beginning would become like this.

When I think back to the blind date, Aunt Zhou was not like this.

Ever since she married into the Zhou family, it seemed that everything had changed.

Before they started their own business, they would hand over half of their salary to their families.

She didn't think much about it at the time, thinking that it was the same in her parents' home. Before she got married, most of her salary was given to her family.

Later, she started her own business and never asked about Zhou Yan's salary again. She took whatever he gave her.

Later, when she followed her brother-in-law and received more rewards, she no longer asked about salary.

"We have only been here for a short time." Zhou Yan had never really thought of asking his parents to come to Kyoto, because he had asked them before and asked them to go to his place, but they were not willing.

"But mother, this is not how it is done. Zhou Huai is here. Which school will he go to? Has my elder brother made any arrangements? Will he transfer here? Or will he take the exam on his own? School has already started, and we will have holidays in a few days."

Zhou Yan felt helpless as he looked at his nephew who was eating snacks there.

"If your elder brother is capable of handling these, then why did I bring Huai Huai here? I brought him here just to ask you to help find them." Zhou Yan said as if it was a matter of course.

"I have only been in Kyoto for a short time, how can I help him find a school?" Kyoto has become more and more restrictive recently. If children from other places want to go to school, they must first have a household registration and second, their parents' work unit.

Someone like him really doesn't want to send Zhou Huai to school.

"Then I don't care. Huaihuai is here, you have to make arrangements." Zhou's mother looked as if it was none of her business.

Finally, Zhou's father couldn't stand it anymore and glared at the old woman, "Okay, since Zhou Yan can't help, let's send Huai Huai back."

Father Zhou is a man who knows how to read people's faces.

Since learning that Zhou Huai was asked to stay, the daughter-in-law hasn't said a word, which shows that she is not happy about it.

Besides, how can his son, who works, compare with his daughter-in-law who runs a business? He can tell at a glance who is the boss in the family.

Although the second son has sent them living expenses over the years, it is not much.

What else doesn't he understand?

"What are you talking about, old man? Huaihuai will have no future if she stays in her hometown." Zhou's mother yelled at Zhou's father like crazy.

Ruirui and Wang Xiaoyu were shocked.

Ruirui held back her tears and her tears fell directly onto Wang Xiaoyu's hands.
