This is the secret code between the couple, and they both understand it tacitly.

This "eating" is not that "eating", but various postures, which is equivalent to showing weakness.

Qiao Yu has good flexibility and is suitable for various difficult movements.

Old Zhou is actually very easy to please, except that he has a weak waist.

Qiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said to the little goldfish fiercely: "Little kid, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask!"

Little goldfish: “…” His expression changes faster than turning the pages of a book. No wonder people say that only women and villains are difficult to raise.

She must not learn her mother's mood swings in the future!

"A package has arrived? For my second uncle?" Zhou Ze'an changed the subject.

Qiao Yu walked around the lady and stepped forward and said, "Old Zhou, you don't know, my second brother is getting married. It's just right. After dinner, let's discuss what to prepare for him.

From what my second brother said, this trip is a long vacation, and there will be no news for several years. Once the situation in Beijing is settled, he will bring my second sister-in-law to see us. "

Zhou Ze'an nodded, "Okay, what do you want? I'll find some connections..."

"They don't know where they're going to go, but I guess the conditions are tough and they can't take the big items with them. So I want to give them some easy-to-carry items. I'll ask Wang's wife to make them skirts, and you can use your connections to get them some foreign exchange bills, and we can give them a watch."

There is still room for jade and gold...

Qiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "Second brother and his wife will definitely not be able to raise their children by themselves. If we give them to Zhang Fu and his wife, they will definitely be raised inappropriately. And my eldest brother is single, so it will be difficult for him to raise a child. Otherwise, if second brother and his wife have too many children, how many should we raise?"

Zhou Ze'an felt that having more children in the family made no difference, so he did not object and only asked, "Did your second brother mention the children in his letter?"

"Ah, I did."

Not only did he mention it, he also excitedly said that it would be better to have a daughter like Jian Xinyu...

Tsk.

I thought my second brother was just a piece of shit like my eldest brother since he was still unmarried at such an old age.

Qiao Yu could tell his second brother's joy from the densely packed handwriting.

My second brother had written to me before, but they were two sentences a line, not much to say. This letter was several pages long, with more than ten lines in a row.

Seeing that the things were almost dried, Zhou's mother put new clothes on the backpack and said, "Come to think of it, the soldier's son is already eighteen years old. Isn't it time to arrange a blind date for him?"

In Qiao Yu's opinion, what does a kid like this, who just graduated from high school at the age of 18, know?

It’s not too late to talk about it when you are mentally mature in a few years.

Qiao Yu: "The soldier kid is back, I'll go and test the waters. But there's really no rush for this matter. Mom, you see my second brother has waited until now to get married, and my eldest brother is still single... Well, if the conditions are good, there's really no worry about not meeting someone you like. This is not the old times where you have to get married at a certain age.

As for our children, it all depends on whether we like them or not."

Zhou's mother: "That's true."

Beijing city.

Zhang Zhou first carried the things and took Jian Xinyu to meet his parents.

Jian Xinyu was a little nervous and didn't say anything, but she kept picking her nails on the way there.

Zhang Zhou noticed her subtle movements and held her hand, wanting to encourage her.

Jian Xinyu pulled back suddenly, straightened her back, looked straight ahead, and said, "We are outside now, and it is a time for severe punishment, Comrade Zhang Zhou, I hope you will be careful."

"..." If he hadn't seen his wife's ears blushing, he would have been frightened.

I felt a little uncomfortable, but I was happy in my heart.

After a moment, Zhang Zhou said, "Then...can you please stop calling me comrade? After all, we are about to get married, it's too unfamiliar."

"Zhang, Zhang Zhou..." Jian Xinyu stuttered and almost bit her tongue.

Zhang Zhou also tried, "Xin, Xinyu..."

Well, he wasn't much better and almost bit his tongue.

After a long while, Zhang Zhou finally got back to the point, "Don't worry, my parents won't do anything to you. If they dare to treat you badly, we won't return to this home in the future."

“???”

"I can go back to my sister's house, my eldest brother's house, my grandfather's house, and so on."

"..." Even though she was immersed in scientific research, she vaguely understood the ways of the world and clearly noticed the difference in the Zhang family's way of getting along with each other.

Jian Xinyu imagined the scene of meeting her parents-in-law to be one of being restrained and worrying mostly about whether she could please her future parents-in-law, or being bullied by them.

I didn't expect the actual situation to be quite the opposite.

Zhang Fu has aged a lot. Fu Yujing is not as peaceful as she was eight years ago. She smells more like oil and smoke, and she wants to get closer to her son Zhang Zhou, but her behavior is more restrained.

If it weren't for his memory, Zhang Zhou would have almost thought that his parents had been replaced.

When he was a child, his father didn't talk much and his mother never looked at him much. Whenever Qiao Baoer snatched something from him, his mother would tell him that the older one should give in to the younger one... These memories seemed to no longer exist.

No wonder it is said that when children are children, their parents are flamboyant and strong-willed, but when they grow up and their parents become old, their parents become much gentler and kinder.

You know you have to be good to your children so your old age won't be miserable.

Zhang Zhou didn't call anyone, he just introduced her: "This is my girlfriend, Jian Xinyu."

Fu Yujing wanted to go forward and take a closer look, but stopped and looked at Jian Xinyu with red eyes. She nodded vigorously, "Okay, this girl looks good."

Zhang Fu also looked at Zhang Zhou and said, "You've lost weight."

He is very close to his parents, but the sense of strangeness is so strong, as if there are millions of miles between them.

That's strange.

He obviously spends more time with his parents, so why is he closer to his younger sister?

Zhang Fu: "Stay here tonight?"

Zhang Zhou hesitated for a moment and said, "No need. My girlfriend and I are staying in a hotel. We have to go to her parents' house tomorrow. There is no room at home either."

There is only one bedroom, which is not spacious enough.

Zhang Fuming was silent for a long time before he said, "Well, let's have a meal? Your mother knew you were coming back, so she bought a lot of food in advance."

Zhang Zhou did not refuse this.

"good."

After dinner, the four of them sat together and chatted. As it got dark, Zhang Zhou left the money under the pillow and left with Jian Xinyu.

On the way back, Jian Xinyu hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Your parents..."

"Them." Zhang Zhou briefly described the family situation and then said, "If you marry me, you don't have to care about their faces. Just get along with grandpa, big brother and little sister. But among them, the little sister has a fierce temper, so you have to be more careful."

Jian Xinyu smiled faintly: "It would be easy to get along with a lesbian who can remarry and bring along a stepchild who is not related to me by blood, no matter how tough her temper is."

"That's true. She just acts impulsively, but she has a good character."

Night.

Fu Yujing couldn't sleep, thinking about Jian Xinyu, who was brought back by the second son, and the eldest son who only sent money but never wrote letters every year, and the daughter of the cousin who broke up with her...

I couldn't help shedding tears.

When I woke up in the morning, my pillow was wet and my eyes were red and swollen. I wanted to change the pillowcase, but I found a bill under the pillow...

Fu Yujing couldn't hold back her tears again. Her eyes hurt, but she couldn't stop crying.

The beloved adopted daughter emptied the family's money, but the two sons who were not close to her...

No wonder her daughter-in-law disowned her and resisted her.

She was wrong, she was stupid.

Zhang Fu saw her like this, and then saw the money under the pillow. He was stunned for a while, then sighed: "Don't think too much. Children... they are much more promising than us. They probably hope... that we don't bother them, and don't go to them to annoy them."

"Yeah." After a long time, Fu Yujing choked up and responded.

As for Zhang Zhou, he first went to the mall and bought a lot of good things before having breakfast at the state-owned hotel and returning.

Jian Xinyu felt a headache when she saw the things he was carrying. "It's too much. Next time you go shopping, call me."

Zhang Zhou smiled like a fool, "Isn't it cold in Beijing? You should get some sleep and be refreshed. You can take care of me in the car later. Don't delay anything."

Zhang Zhou tends to fall asleep when riding in a car unless he has work on hand.

Jian Xinyu nodded, "Okay, let's help each other."
