Chapter 202

The old man has no objection to the dinner, and Qiu Dongshu will have even less objection.

Only Ge Fengdang and Du Yunrong were notified. Everyone tacitly agreed not to mention Qiu Wen or Qiu Zexun.

Xin Jiamei's due date is approaching, and Du Yunxin doesn't want to greet her stepson's family at this time. In case something happens to Xin Jiamei, it will be difficult to sort it out.

As for Qiu Wen, this sister-in-law is really a troublemaker. Because of her previous troubles, the old man ignored her for a while. He had hoped that she would learn her lesson and behave herself for a while, so the old man lifted the "access ban" on her. But when she came to visit the old man at home some time ago, she asked about her daughter-in-law's pregnancy and complained that Du Yunxin didn't go to see her pregnant daughter-in-law.

Of course, she didn't say it so bluntly, but Du Yunxin understood the implication of her words and rolled her eyes, saying, "I have my own mother and mother-in-law. Why should I be so attentive to them?"

Fortunately, after being punished by her father several times, Qiu Wen learned to respect her elder sister-in-law. No matter how unhappy she was, she didn't dare to show her displeasure on the spot.

Therefore, she would definitely not inform Aunt Zeming about the banquet this time, and only planned to tell Du Yunrong.

Du Yunrong heard about Zhou Jiani's college entrance exam during the Chinese New Year, but her sister deliberately kept it a secret, and she certainly couldn't tell anyone about it. These days, she was thinking about calling her sister to ask when Zhou Jiani would come to the capital so that she could give the child a red envelope.

So when she received her sister's call, she happily agreed. Then, when she heard her sister say she hadn't originally planned on having a wedding banquet... Du Yunrong disapproved, "What a mistake you made! If this happened to me, I could have a three-day wedding banquet, but you actually skipped it."

When I went to the Zhou family to propose marriage, I liked the family style of the Zhou family. After getting to know my nephew's wife, I also felt that the girl was generous and graceful, her words and deeds were very appropriate, she was beautiful and smart. Where can you find such a good girl?

Du Yunxin received a few criticisms from her sister, but she didn't look unhappy at all. She also said, "Indeed, we should have a good time."

When Du Yunxin took charge of this matter, the whole compound knew that the Qiu family's daughter-in-law, who had not yet married, had been admitted to Huazhong University.

Some are envious, some admire, and some say sour things.

Bai Haoyang and Wang Qianjin's families were originally embarrassed to set up a banquet, but when they saw that the Qiu family was preparing a banquet for Zhou Jiani, they also had an idea. They thought that if the Qiu family held it at noon, the Bai and Wang families could hold it at different times, without making a big fuss, so that their own family would have more fun, after all, they had a college student in their family.

Kong Xueqin still consciously sat in the back row. After all, her son hadn't come back yet. She ran to talk to Zhou Jiani, as if to get comfort from her, and said, "Why did their school send out the notice so late?"

Zhou Jiani thought about her memories of her previous life. The brigade she married into also produced two college students. She remembered that the time it took to receive their notices was very long. One received the notice around the same time as she did, and the other was delayed until April. Her family members went to the commune post office almost every day to inquire about it. The whole family was worried, fearing that there would be problems with the notices.

No problem, it's just late.

Du Yunxin did not inform Qiu Wen about the banquet, but it happened that Qiu Wen came to the compound to visit the old man that day and ran into Zhou Jiani.

She hadn't seen him during the engagement, so today was the first time she saw him.

Qiu Wen lacked the gentleness expected of an elder. She scrutinized Zhou Jiani from head to toe and nodded, "You're quite lucky..."

You can find someone like Qiu Zeming in the next village.

She had heard the eldest son's wife talk about the Zhou family a few times, and they were just an ordinary family. But what was the family background of the Qiu family?

No one knew how many lifetimes the Zhou family’s ancestors had burned incense to allow her to have such a good marriage.

As for whether she is satisfied or not... ask her to say that she is not satisfied, but I am afraid no one will listen to her opinion.

Qiu Wen is a married woman, but she likes to meddle in her parents' affairs. Only Du Yunxin can control her with her fierceness. Everyone in the family, from the old man to Qiu Dongshu, understands the situation. Otherwise, there will be chaos.

Qiu Wen has her own set of theories. She believes that the eldest daughter-in-law in the family should be like Zexun's wife. Although she is not as charming as Zhou Jiani, she looks dignified and generous. When she stands there, people will feel that the family has a good tradition and she is the kind that brings honor to the family.

When it comes to choosing a daughter-in-law, she, the eldest sister-in-law, is not as good as her ex-sister-in-law. The girl that Zexun dated before Xing Jiamei had a foxy look on her face. When she walked towards her ex-sister-in-law, her ex-sister-in-law's face immediately fell. She took a broom and beat the woman out on the spot. She threatened to commit suicide, forcing Qiu Zexun to break up with that girl, and then he found the current one.

Her ex-sister-in-law also spoke sternly, saying that Zexun was the eldest son of the Qiu family, and the wife he married was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qiu family. She had to have a decent family background or good looks, and the wife he chose had to be dignified and elegant, and she must not be coquettish or charming.

Zhou Jiani is just too beautiful. She's from another place, and while her family isn't from the countryside, can Qiyang compare to the capital? She's not dignified or steady, but fortunately, Ze Ming doesn't need a wife to hold up the family. Ze Ming likes good-looking women, and Du Yunxin is there to satisfy her son's preferences.

Zhou Jiani didn't connect to Qiu Wen's channel. What does this mean? Was she lucky to get into university, or was she lucky to be dating Qiu Zeming?

"Jiani, your aunt bought you a scarf, come and try it on."

Du Yunxin suppressed the urge to chase her sister-in-law out and called Zhou Jiani. Zhou Jiani ignored Qiu Wen and turned to try on the scarf in front of Du Yunxin.

The temperature has dropped a bit today. The scarf Du Yunrong gave me is made of thin material, so it is suitable for wearing today.

Qiu Wen seemed unaware of how annoying she was. She leaned over to look at Du Yunxin and asked, "Are the eldest and his wife coming over today too?"

Du Yunxin said as she adjusted Zhou Jiani's scarf, "Xin Jiamei's belly is so big, why should I call her?"

Qiu Wen nodded: "Yes, the body is so heavy..."

It was indeed not worth it for Zexun's wife to run here for a stranger, but she didn't dare to say it out loud and could only grumble in her heart.

It's not worthwhile to hold this banquet. This girl and Ze Ming are not married yet, so she is not considered the official daughter-in-law of the Qiu family. Du Yunxin is so busy organizing this banquet and everyone knows about it. If the two of them break up in the future, it will be a laughing stock in the whole compound.

Besides, shouldn't Zhou Jiani be the one carefully trying to please the Qiu family? Her sister-in-law is so eager to help, it's really embarrassing for the family.

So Qiu Wen didn't even plan to give a red envelope. She came to see her father, and even if there was no wedding banquet, her family had to provide her with a meal.

Fortunately, Zhou Jiani didn't care about her red envelope. Aunt Zeming and uncle Zeming had given her red envelopes, and all the elders in the Qiu family had also given her red envelopes. Even if she didn't have the savings in her mobile phone, she could still live a good life for a while.

Aunt Zhan and Aunt Kong also gave her a red envelope. Zhou Jiani knew that Aunt Du would return the favor, so when she received the red envelope, she wanted to give it to Du Yunxin and asked Du Yunxin to return it.

Naturally, these two people were invited to the meal, and Bai Haoyang and Yu Wanxia came over to eat with ease.

Although there were outsiders present, Qiu Wen didn't say anything to spoil the mood, but she left in a hurry after dinner and went to her eldest nephew's workplace.

They had lunch at noon, and when Wang Qian walked in in the evening, he wanted to give everyone a surprise, but when he realized that he had missed Zhou Jiani's banquet, he looked very resentful.

Bai Haoyang patted his shoulder: "It's okay, you can still eat at my table and your own table."

Wang Qianjin: After all, I missed a meal and was not comforted.

Fortunately, he is now the eldest baby of the family. When he entered the house with the admission letter, he was flattered and received with high standards by the Wang family. His old man happily took him to shoot, his father gave him a pen, his mother prepared a sumptuous meal, and called the relatives one by one to inform them. The relatives will probably come to praise him tomorrow.

Wang Qianjin was so moved that he almost cried.

In the past, he was disliked by everyone because he was not a good student. But now, with a university acceptance letter, he has become loved by everyone and he is very happy.

After two more meals, Zhou Jiani welcomed the start of school.

Bai Haoyang and his friends reported two days later, and they all wanted to follow Zhou Jiani to Huazhong University of Science and Technology to experience the charm of a higher education institution.

So in addition to Qiu Dongshu and Du Yunxin, there were three more people taking Zhou Jiani to school. One car could not accommodate all of them, so Bai Haoyang and Wang Qianjin rode their bicycles over. Yu Wanxia followed them in and got on the car, squeezed next to Zhou Jiani, and held her arm.

Du Yunxin wanted to save face for Zhou Jiani, so she and Lao Qiu both wore military uniforms. After getting off the car, the guard wanted to help carry the luggage. Zhou Jiani thought it was too big a scene. It was already dazzling enough to have Aunt Du and Uncle Qiu by her side, and with the addition of a guard, she didn't want to become the focus as soon as she entered school.

She said, "No, no, no, I'll take it myself..." Just as she was about to grab it from the guard, a hand reached out from the side, took the bundled bedding and put it on her shoulder, looking at Zhou Jiani with a smile in her eyes.

Zhou Jiani's heart skipped a beat, and she was a little stunned. It took her two seconds to react. She didn't hide her joy, and her voice unconsciously carried a bit of sweetness: "Zeming——"

She was surprised and happy: "When did you come back?"

Qiu Zeming smiled and said, "I'm passing by here on a mission. I can take half a day off and go back in the afternoon."

He greeted his parents: "Dad, Mom——"

Du Yunxin was not surprised at all. She had received a call from her son at work yesterday. Knowing that Zhou Jiani would report today, he simply rushed to the school gate to wait for her and give Jiani a surprise.

Qiu Dongshu was a little surprised. He was a soldier, and a soldier who took his mission more seriously than anything else. He felt a little disapproving of his son's behavior. Just as he was about to speak, his wife gave him a sidelong glance, and he swallowed the words he wanted to scold.

"Let's go—" Qiu Zeming was about to greet them when Yu Wanxia complained, "I've been calling you Brother Qiu for so many years in vain. Have you never even seen me?"

"I saw it." Qiu Zeming looked embarrassed. He had forgotten to say hello after approaching. Now he added, "Congratulations to Comrade Yu Wanxia on her success in the exam."

Yu Wanxia: "That's about right."

Zhou Jiani couldn't stop laughing.

Bai Haoyang and Wang Qianjin came riding their bikes, sweating profusely. They had agreed on the way that when they accompanied Zhou Jiani into the school gate, they would act a bit more like a gangster and call her "sister-in-law" from beginning to end, and they would call her loudly to intimidate the male students of Hua University in advance.

Zhou Jiani is so beautiful that they are worried that some male classmates will try to steal their brother Ming's girl.

Although I believe in Zhou Jiani's feelings for Ming Ge, I can't help but feel annoyed by those ignorant people who come up to me.

The two of them did a beautiful drift here and were about to shout out "sister-in-law" for the first time today when they saw Qiu Zeming wearing a military uniform and carrying a handbag on his shoulder.

Wang Qianjin: "Fuck!"

Bai Haoyang was also shocked. No way, his brother Ming…did he rush back specially to send Zhou Jiani to school? Then why didn't he come back two days earlier for the feast!

Qiu Zeming was a little surprised when he saw the two of them: "What are you two doing here?"
