When Ke Shiqiang learned that Lu Mianmian was going to his house on her own initiative, he was so happy the whole day that he asked his family to get ready as soon as he got home.
Seeing that he valued her so much, Lu Mianmian felt satisfied.
Lu's mother had already prepared gifts for her in-laws. They were all high-end foreign goods that could not be bought in China without connections.
After preparing the gifts, Ke Shiqiang came to pick her up on his 28-inch bicycle and took her to the factory compound.
The compound is full of small suites, which cannot be compared with the single-family houses where senior officials of the Lu family live.
But the advantage is that this environment is more lively and more humane.
Lu Mianmian looked at the sycamore trees on both sides of the road, and a blurry picture suddenly flashed through her mind again.
It was like when she was a child and rode on her father's neck, they passed by a sycamore tree like this, and she reached out to pick the leaves.
That feeling is very warm...
The bicycle stopped in front of one of the brick houses, and Ke Shiqiang took Lu Mianmian to the second floor.
"Dad, Mom, we're back." They stood on the balcony and opened the door.
Lu Mianmian heard some noise coming from the house, but the door didn't open until two or three minutes later.
"I'm here~" Mother Ke, who opened the door, had a smile on her face. There was a big black mole on her forehead, her skin was a little dark, and she looked older than Mother Lu.
"Hello, Auntie!" Lu Mianmian was led into the living room and saw Ke Xiao sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed and reading a newspaper.
"Hello, uncle."
Only then did Ke 㫅 nod at her expressionlessly as a response.
Ke Shiqiang hurriedly explained with a smile: "Mianmian, my dad is a man of few words, please don't mind! Come and sit down..."
Lu Mianmian was led to sit on the sofa nearby, and then she heard Ke's mother shouting into a room, "Third girl, why don't you come out and pour tea for your second sister-in-law? Are you slacking off in the room?"
When Lu Mianmian was feeling a little embarrassed, she saw the door of another room opened, and a young couple came out. The woman was pregnant with a bulging belly, and she was five or six months pregnant.
They were Ke Shiqiang's eldest brother and his wife. They greeted Lu Mianmian politely and sat down aside.
Lu Mianmian found that her sister-in-law was looking at her from time to time. She stood up a little uncomfortably, and saw a thin girl with two thin linen braids running out of the kitchen.
"Second sister-in-law, I'll pour you some tea, please sit down for a moment."
The timid little sister Ke is small and thin, with a soft and gentle voice, clear eyes and a sincere smile. She is the only person who makes Lu Mianmian feel comfortable since they entered this house.
"No, I'm not thirsty. Go and do your thing!" Lu Mianmian responded with a smile, then turned around and remembered something: "Wait, I brought gifts for you all."
Lu Mianmian gave all the gifts she brought to the Ke family. She gave some foreign wine to Ke's grandfather, and some dresses to Ke's mother and Ke's younger sister.
As soon as Xiaomei Ke took the wool sweater, her mother snatched it away: "It's a waste for you to wear such fine material at such a young age. Keep it for me first."
Little sister Ke looked around awkwardly, and then listened to her mother's orders:
"Hurry up and cook. Stew the chicken you bought yesterday. Remember to add six jujubes. It's not easy for a girl to do housework. Let's see who will want you in the future."
"Okay~" Sister Ke turned around and went back to the kitchen.
Lu Mianmian turned her head to look towards the kitchen, and saw that everyone in the room was pointing at Ke Xiaomei to cook. She felt that she might not be able to swallow the meal.
"Shiqiang, can you go and help my little sister?" Lu Mianmian said to Ke Shiqiang.
Unexpectedly, before Ke Shiqiang could say anything, he heard Ke's mother say with a fake smile:
"Oh~ That won't work. How can you let a man do kitchen work? Don't worry, our third girl will do a good job. You just need to wait for the food."
Lu Mianmian looked at Ke Shiqiang with some suspicion. Some time ago, when he went to the Lu family, he was very diligent, taking care of both the kitchen and the living room. The Lu couple were very satisfied with this future son-in-law.
Why can't I work at home?
Seeing Lu Mianmian staring at him, Ke Shiqiang immediately came over and explained with a smile: "It's not that I don't want to help, it's my sister who heard that you were coming and took the initiative to ask to show you her cooking skills. Just let her do it!"
When Lu Mianmian was still hesitant, she heard the sound of porcelain falling to the ground and breaking from the kitchen.
Ke's mother immediately rushed into the kitchen, and it was like igniting a bomb, and she scolded her daughter:
