"who?"
Su Qiao didn't react at first.
“…that…that guy surnamed Lu.” Su Jin spoke somewhat awkwardly.
Although Su Ming reluctantly told Lu Xiangze about his situation.
But that was all in the past.
Who knows if he's changed now?
Su Jin was really worried, after all, he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.
They say seeing is believing, and he wanted to put this young man to a good test.
Knock knock knock.
There was a knock on the courtyard gate.
Su Qiao glanced at the time and knew that Lu Xiangze must be bringing the food.
Lu Xiangze opened the door and saw two more people in the yard.
Especially when she saw the man's similar eyebrows and eyes to Su Qiao's, she couldn't help but tighten her grip on the lunchbox.
Is the ugly son-in-law about to meet his father-in-law?
Hello, Uncle and Aunt.
"Hello."
Su Qiao tried to take the lunchbox from him, but Lu Xiangze dodged her.
"Hot! It's fish soup today, let me get it."
As he spoke, Lu Xiangze placed the items on the table.
Su Jin looked Lu Xiangze up and down.
I secretly observed his walking posture.
It seems there's nothing wrong with it.
Passed for now.
Lu Xiangze didn't know that Su's father and the others would be coming today, so these few dishes weren't suitable.
After all, there are guards at the entrance here.
"I'll go make a few more dishes," Lu Xiangze offered.
Su Qiao nodded, led Lu Xiangze into the kitchen, and whispered the question to him.
“My parents have recently developed a liking for spicy food, but they can’t handle too much spice. Just a little bit is fine.”
Su Qiao stretched out her finger and gestured to indicate the size of a fingernail.
Su Jin was taken aback when she saw how naturally the two of them interacted, just like an ordinary couple.
I had no idea that my daughter's side had turned against me.
Having received the answer, Lu Xiangze dismissed Su Qiao.
Su Jin saw her daughter come out and immediately asked her questions.
"This guy even lets you into the kitchen?"
This was strictly forbidden in the Su family, and Su Jin looked like she had caught him red-handed.
That was hilarious.
Su Qiao chuckled.
"I'm just giving you two a brief idea of your tastes, so you can at least have enough to eat."
Su Jin felt exceptionally comforted.
His daughter still sided with him.
Xu Mingyue was unwilling to let it go and asked about other details.
What kind of work does he usually do?
"He's still recovering from his injury. Once he's fully healed, he'll report to the factory in the city." A while ago, Lu Xiangze had originally planned to do some carpentry work and that would be it.
Then I thought of Su Qiao's family.
In addition, the mission here is nearing completion.
It would be more convenient for him to work in the city, and his next assignment is at a state-owned factory.
His next role will be that of a worker.
So he told Su Qiao in advance.
Mr. Su was much relieved.
Having a job would at least allow Su Qiao to support herself and prevent her from having to struggle to make a living.
"And what about his parents?"
“He was taken in by someone and is still looking for his biological parents. Some time ago, he separated from his adoptive mother’s family and started living on his own.”
"For what?" Su Jin frowned again.
A person who abandons their poor adoptive parents after becoming rich is not a good person.
Su Qiao recounted everything she had witnessed and explained the reasons behind it.
Su Qiao supports him in this regard.
A loving mother is essential for a filial son. If a mother is not loving or kind, why hold yourself to such high standards?
She speaks impartially and only states the facts.
Those around him could naturally hear the innocence in Lu Xiangze's voice.
Xu Mingyue was still a little worried.
"That man is shameless. What if he keeps bothering you? Your in-laws won't approve, you can't marry him!"
"I know, I'll let him handle it."
We chatted for a while longer.
Lu Xiangze also finished preparing the remaining dishes.
They called out, "Dinner is served!"
He put a lot of thought and effort into entertaining his parents-in-law today.
I'll try my best to win over the two elders' stomachs.
The soldier guarding the door was happily eating his lunchbox.
This person is really good at cooking.
Su Jin looked at the dishes on the table; they were no less impressive than those in state-run restaurants.
If this person doesn't become a worker, becoming a cook would be a good alternative.
After enjoying the delicious food, Su Jin's expression softened considerably.
During the meal, Xu Mingyue carefully observed how the two interacted.
They discovered that Su Qiao accepted Lu Xiangze's feeding quite naturally, and even habitually broke the pork belly in half and stuffed the fatty part to Lu Xiangze.
While she was picking up meat, Lu Xiangze had already quietly placed his bowl in a spot that was convenient for Su Qiao.
This is clearly not the first time.
Su Qiao noticed her mother's gaze.
I realized what was happening instantly and gave an embarrassed smile.
After the meal, Lu Xiangze voluntarily and consciously cleared away the dishes and chopsticks.
I also cleaned the yard.
Seeing that the others still had something to talk about, he took his lunchbox and said goodbye, leaving first.
He seemed very perceptive.
Su Jin couldn't help but follow him out.
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Su Qiao couldn't help but stand up.
Xu Mingyue pressed him down.
She didn't know what the outcome would be, but Su Qiao was already prepared for her father to kick the person out and for her to painstakingly bring them back.
After all, she was just trying to survive.
Su Qiao told herself this in her heart.
She had no choice.
But the more she thought about it, the more worried she became.
It seems she has inadvertently given her heart away.
Lu Xiangze did not walk very fast.
Su Jin caught up with him in no time.
Hearing footsteps behind him, Lu Xiangze turned around.
Then I saw my father-in-law following closely behind.
Lu Xiangze pointed to his house and invited, "Uncle, why don't you come to my house for a while?"
Su Jin nodded.
Following Lu Xiangze's footsteps, they soon saw a yard full of timber and a semicircle made of wooden planks.
Lu Xiangze went to the kitchen, got a cup, and poured water for Su Jin.
He sat quietly to the side, waiting to hear Su Jin's reprimand.
Su Jin was suddenly at a loss for words, her mind brimming with ideas.
"Do you really want to marry Qiaoqiao?"
Nowadays, most people date with marriage in mind.
Su Jin's question is not wrong.
Lu Xiangze said firmly, "Yes, I truly want to be with Comrade Su Qiao. I want to hold her hand and spend the rest of my life with her. After we get married, she will basically be the one in charge of the household, and I will hand over all my salary. As long as it's not something that betrays the country, I will do my best to do so."
"I guarantee this with my integrity and party loyalty."
"What if Su Qiao returns to the city later?"
Su Qiao was an educated youth sent to the countryside, which was an unavoidable issue.
Lu Xiangze did not hesitate.
He blurted out, "As long as she still has feelings for me, I'll find a way to work near her."
"You've never been in a relationship before, have you?"
Su Jin still had some doubts. Lu Xiangze was really good-looking, and he was a soldier back then.
Even though I was injured and discharged from the military, my foot has now been healed.
This looks a bit like attracting unwanted attention.
If she already had a close female friend, and she came back to bother him, it would also be a harm to Qiaoqiao.
Lu Xiangze repeatedly assured him.
“When I first joined the army, I was pale and thin, and no one wanted me. It took me a few years in the army to get back to normal, and I rarely came back. I was also not very bright before, so I never dated anyone. My former comrades can all vouch for me for this.”
"Comrade Lu." At this moment, a sweet female voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Su Jin's smile vanished instantly.
