Xu Haizhou was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "Okay, this method is good!"

Qiao Lu's method of educating children really surprised Xu Haizhou. He did not think that this was corrupting the children. On the contrary, he found it very interesting and even agreed with it.

If it were another mother, she might directly tell her child: "Don't be afraid of Uncle Xu, Uncle Xu is a good man."

But this method is actually inappropriate. Although the child seems to be forced to stop being afraid, he is still afraid and resistant in his heart because the adults do not give him a sense of security. Instead, they keep instilling in him the idea that "Uncle Xu is a good person." This is just an idea imposed on children by adults. It is better to give children a hypothesis like Qiao Lu did, telling them what measures they should take if Uncle Xu treats them badly, and telling them the worst side.

Children who grow up in single-parent families are naturally more sensitive. What is the most important thing when rebuilding a family? Of course, it is to give children a sense of security. It is human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm. Even though Qiao An is a child, his nature is engraved in his bones and this cannot be changed.

So it can be said that Qiao Lu is really good at educating children.

"If I treat you badly, just kick me. Promise not to fight back!"

Puff——

Qiao Lu couldn't help it. For the first time, she found that Xu Haizhou was a man with a sense of humor. She quickly patted her son's shoulder.

"Did you hear that, An An?"

The young man nodded and pursed his lips a little embarrassedly.

"You, you really won't fight back?" Qiao An carefully leaned his head forward, and the breeze blew past, lifting the strands of hair on his forehead, and his ahoge also stood up.

Xu Haizhou turned around and met a pair of big eyes of Caroline. His heart melted when he was looked at by such a cute little thing.

"Yes, never fight back."

Qiao An's mood was obviously lifted, and he said lightly, "I won't hit you either."

This sentence made the two adults laugh continuously. The bicycle turned a corner easily and headed towards another wider road.

"Qiaoan is such a civilized and polite child. Uncle is very happy to be your father."

Qiao An had grown up in a backward and impoverished mountain village. She had never seen a man as polite as Xu Haizhou. She became nervous and clenched her hands into a ball.

In silence, someone suddenly said, "Thank you."

Not to mention Xu Haizhou, even his mother Qiao Lu did not expect her son to say such a thing.

I am relieved. Really relieved!

You know, when Qiao Lu first traveled to Li'an City, she thought her son was an autistic child, taciturn, not talkative, and not fond of laughing, as dull as a little old man. But in fact, her own An An is really a very polite and cute little boy!

"mua~ My son is awesome! Mommy rewards him with a kiss!"

He held up his son's little head and gave him a kiss, leaving his face covered with saliva.

Little Qiaoan giggled, raised his little hand, grabbed his mother's neck and kissed her hard on the face, leaving a shallow saliva mark. After the kiss, he laughed again, grinning foolishly.

Qiao Lu couldn't help laughing, my son is so cute!

The wind blew up the hem of his clothes, and a breeze blew past. Listening to the noise behind him, the curve of Xu Haizhou's lips became bigger and bigger.

…

I had lunch at a state-owned hotel. It was a very rich meal consisting of one meat, two vegetable dishes and a bowl of soup.

Qiao Lu felt that if Qiao An continued to eat so well every day after marrying Xu Haizhou, she would definitely turn from a skinny little monkey into a little fat pig!

Qiaoan likes egg custard the most. It tastes absolutely delicious when mixed with rice. Because it is a little hot when it comes out of the pot, the little guy eats it in a hurry and is reluctant to slow down even when his eyes are filled with tears.

Qiao Lu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She grabbed his hand that was about to go to his mouth and said, "Slow down, slow down. No one is competing with you for it."

"Mom, eat." The boy scooped a spoonful of egg custard into her bowl.

"Thank you, An An."

"Uncle, eat." Qiao An pointed at the egg custard but didn't help him scoop it.

Xu Haizhou was flattered and said, "Thank you, An'an."

The boy smiled shyly and ate his rice with a grunt. He looked so energetic that it seemed as if he was ready to eat three bowls of rice today.

After dinner, the three of them walked around the street for a few laps to help digest the food, and then went to the department store to buy gifts.

There is only one department store in the entire Li'an City, located on Zhonggu Street, the most prosperous area in the city center. However, the current city center is not as beautiful as it will be in 20 years. Although the main road is wide, the road is not so smooth, and there are many cracks on the road surface. Apart from the magnificent three-story department store, there are only old low-rise houses around it, which is really not in line with an area like the city center.

Department stores have much richer resources than rural supply and marketing cooperatives, and they sell everything. They are divided into several areas. The non-staple food area has the most people, most of whom buy oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc. The area that sells daily necessities such as soap, matches, and towels is also crowded.

Xu Haizhou took the mother and son straight to the food area. A wide variety of goods were placed under the glass counters, and various sundries were hung on the wall behind the salesperson.

The counter in front of this area was a bit crowded, and many people just looked but did not buy, which was a bit troublesome. Just as Qiao Lu was about to squeeze in with her son in her arms, Xu Haizhou grabbed her arm.

The man turned his body sideways and enclosed the mother and son in the protection of his two arms. He put one arm around Qiao Lu's shoulders and with the other hand pushed away the crowd in front of him, protecting the two of them as they entered the counter.

His tall figure was like a barrier, covering the mother and son, and when he finally got inside, not even a hair was out of place.

After she stood up, before Qiao Lu had time to catch her breath, she heard the man next to her say to the salesperson: "Give me a box of tea. Yes, Pu'er."

"Two boxes of peach cakes, one pound of melon seeds, one pound of glutinous rice sticks, one box of water chestnut cakes, one box of rock sugar, and one can of canned yellow peaches." After announcing the dishes, he asked Qiao Lu, "Does your brother-in-law smoke? Does he drink?"

Qiao Lu nodded unconsciously: "I smoke occasionally and drink occasionally."

"Okay, two more packs of Peony, a bottle of Jiannanchun, a can of Malted Milk, and more..."

Qiao Lu quickly grabbed his arm, which was gesturing wildly: "You bought so much? That's enough, it's too much."

How much money and tickets does this cost? These days, unless it is a New Year or a festival, most people can't afford to buy so many side dishes. It's really expensive.

"Is it a lot?" Xu Haizhou lowered his head and looked at her with amusement.

People in the south are generally not as tall as people in the north. Even in a crowd, Xu Haizhou's height cannot be ignored. With his outstanding height and handsome appearance, and his smile, not only female comrades but also male comrades turned their eyes to look at him.

Oh, it's in public, why are you teasing her with your eyes!

Her cheeks felt hot from his affectionate gaze, and she pinched her nose and hurriedly pushed the maltose towards the salesperson.

"That's enough! Forget the malted milk and water chestnut cake. Malted milk doesn't have much nutrition, it's just sugar water. Forget the water chestnut cake. It's a bit expensive and not worth it. My sister can't eat much at home. If you buy it back and leave it for a long time, it will go bad."

In fact, even if these two were removed, it would still be too many. This man was so generous that Qiao Lu was a little overwhelmed.

It was the first time that Xu Haizhou saw someone complaining about maltose. He laughed softly, his voice so soft and faint that it made people's ears itch.

In the end, he didn't object and respected her wishes: "Okay."

The salesperson behind the counter looked at Qiao Lu several times, thinking where did this country bumpkin come from? He even complained about malted milk, how precious this thing must be. Then he looked at Xu Haizhou who was spending generously, and couldn't help but sigh, there are really all kinds of combinations these days.

Xu Haizhou couldn't take all the gifts by himself, so he gave some to Qiao Lu. The little guy also wanted to join in, clamoring to help his mother and uncle share the gifts. Xu Haizhou gave him a box of tea leaves with a smile on his face. This was a light gift.

"Thank you." This guy said thank you to others after helping them. Qiao Lu and Xu Haizhou laughed so hard that their cheeks hurt.

There was a consignment store opposite the department store. Xu Haizhou went in and bought a sack from the owner and threw all the things into it. Because there had to be someone on the back seat, he could only tie the bags to the diagonal bar in front of the bicycle. The white wine was fragile, so he let Qiao Lu hold it.

The three of them worked together to tie up the sack. When they were about to set off, Qiao Lu saw something and suddenly grabbed Xu Haizhou's arm and pulled him towards her. The man's entire tall body was forced to block her like a wall.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Haizhou didn't understand what was going on. He picked up Qiao An in his arms with one hand and put his other hand around Qiao Lu's shoulders to pull her towards him. His expression became serious.

The "family of three" hugged each other in a strange posture, which was very graphic.

Just as she was about to ask again, Qiao Lu saw someone getting closer from under his raised arm. She suddenly grabbed the collar of his shirt and hunched her waist even more.

"I saw an enemy!"

Xu Haizhou was stunned for a moment: "What grudge?"

Qiao Lu said seriously: "Love and hatred!"

But when she looked around, she saw both men and women, and Xu Haizhou didn't know who she saw.

Just when Xu Haizhou was carefully trying to identify the man of "love and hatred" mentioned by Qiao Lu, the pleasant smell of perfume in his nose suddenly disappeared. Qiao Lu led Qiao An out of his protection area, stepped on the crowd and looked around, then patted his chest and said:

"I'm just kidding."

Xu Haizhou couldn't help laughing. He realized that the child's mother was not joking, but he didn't ask any more questions. He got on his bike and waited for her to get on.

On the way, Qiao Lu briefly explained Wang Bin's matter to Xu Haizhou.

Because he was riding with his back to her, Qiao Lu couldn't see Xu Haizhou's expression or what mood he was in. She could only hear his voice flowing out in surprise.

"Did he harass you later?"

Qiao Lu shook her head: "He threatened me the day he resigned, and I haven't seen him since. Maybe he gave up. With his qualifications, there should be a lot of female lesbians flocking to him, and I am no exception."

Xu Haizhou in front was silent for two seconds, and the sound of wind continued to pour into his ears.

"It's okay, you have me from now on." It is a husband's responsibility to protect his woman. From now on, she will no longer have to please anyone in order to survive.

Qiao Lu was of course very happy to hear these words, but she did not feel lost or complacent.

You only have to believe half of what a man says, and she was sincere and honest with him. She told him everything she could to avoid misunderstandings caused by gossip and rumors in the future.

After riding the bike for a while, we arrived at the tube building.

Qiao Lu jumped out of the car holding her son: "See you tomorrow then. Don't be late. My sister doesn't like people who are late."

"Okay." Xu Haizhou glanced at her, rummaged through the sack, and took out a box of peach cakes: "Give it to An An."

Qiao Lu quickly refused: "This is for my sister, leave it there."

"Just buy it again." He forced it into Qiao An's hand.

The young man looked at Qiao Lu at a loss.

"Tell your uncle thank you."

Qiao An is now very polite, she opened her mouth and said softly: "Thank you, uncle~"

Xu Haizhou touched his face with great satisfaction, got back on the bicycle, and finally looked at Qiao Lu with a smile on his lips and her face imprinted in his pupils.

"See you tomorrow."

Qiao Lu: "Goodbye."

…

It was a rainy day on Sunday and the temperature was still cold. Qiao Lu woke up early in the morning and couldn't help looking out the window. Qiao Yan counted for her, at least eight times if not ten.

After peeling the shell of the young bamboo shoots, he said with a smile: "Come on, you are still unmarried and you are already like this. You really want to grow wings and fly to his house, right?"

"You're exaggerating." Qiao Lu looked away and happily helped her sister choose vegetables: "You didn't see that he bought gifts yesterday as if they were free. He filled a big bag. It was raining, and he had to hold an umbrella when riding a bike. It's so unsafe to carry so many things."

Qiao Yan smiled and poked her nose: "Do you think he is as stupid as you, why doesn't he just walk here and has to ride a bike?"

Qiao Lu was stunned: "Oh, that's right." The large courtyard was only two blocks away from the tube building.

I thought to myself, can love really make people stupid? But they have only been together for two days, it can't be that true...

The more I think about it, the funnier it becomes. She is an older left-over woman, but she falls in love like a little girl. Or is it that the original body's love brain gene exists in her subconscious?

At this time, noises were heard in the corridor outside the door.

"Who are you looking for, comrade?"

"Hello, is Qiaolu's sister's house on this floor?"

"Qiao Lu? Looking for Qiao Lu?"

Song Yulian looked him up and down, seeing that he was carrying so many bags, and couldn't help wondering about his identity: "You are..."

"I am Qiao Lu's boyfriend, and I came here today to visit her family."

Song Yulian was stunned at first, as if she didn't believe it. She poked holes all over the gay man's body from head to toe before she stopped. The more she looked, the more astonished she became - whose good boy is this?

"Hey, that girl Qiaolu has a boyfriend? That's great!"

The loud voice soon attracted the neighbors, and outside the house suddenly became very noisy, with everyone talking at once.

"This guy is really handsome. Where is he from?"

"Which factory do you work in?"

"How did you get to know Qiao Lu? You look very young. Is this also your second marriage?"

"You are so handsome, why hasn't my daughter met you?"

Qiao Lu pushed the door open and quickly pulled the man into the house: "Let's talk when we have time, let's talk when we have time!"
