Chapter 250 This is Song Hui’s first visit to the Zhong family.
He has been very clingy lately, and Lin Ziqiu is no longer as shy as before. But she still coughed twice and said, "Someone is here, please be careful."
Zhong Heyang disagreed, "I kiss my wife, it's only natural!" Halfway through the hot pot, two guests arrived.
Li Guixiang hurriedly went over to him with a smile, "I went to look for you this afternoon but didn't see you. Where have you been?"
Shen Xiu introduced her nephew to her, "This is my nephew Song Hui. We will leave for my mother's house tomorrow. I went with him to buy some local specialties and plan to bring some back to give to relatives and friends."
This was Song Hui's first time visiting the Zhong family.
"Aunt Li, excuse me, these are specialties from our Su City, some tea, cakes, and candied fruits. I'll give them to you to try. If you like them, I'll send them to you when I return to Su City."
He leaned forward slightly, and his voice was calm and soft, which made people feel very comfortable.
Song Hui handed over the specialty in his hand.
Li Guixiang looked at Song Hui for a few times, her eyes full of admiration, and said with a smile: "You just came here, why do you bring so many things! You are so polite!"
Shen Xiu took her arm and said, "Hurry up and take it away. I'm hungry."
"Come in quickly, we are eating!"
The three of them entered the main room together, and several younger generations greeted Shen Xiu one after another. Zhong Zhiyang was very observant and had already gone to the kitchen to get two sets of bowls and chopsticks.
As soon as Song Hui entered, his eyes unconsciously fell on Lin Ziqiu, but before he could stay there for a few seconds, he was forced back by the extremely dangerous and oppressive look of the man next to her.
Li Guixiang sat next to Shen Xiu and asked with a smile: "Xiaohui is so handsome, is he married?"
"Not yet! He will be almost 30 in a few months, and his family is worried about his marriage."
Shen Xiu couldn't help but sigh. Song Hui was the most promising child of their generation. He was admitted to the highest institution of learning with the highest score in the province.
Later, when he encountered educated youth going to the countryside, he chose to study abroad. He returned after completing his studies a few years ago and is now considered outstanding in the architectural field.
"You should have gotten married by the age of 30, but who can say for sure about fate? Look at He Yang. Before we got married, I couldn't sleep for nights and was so anxious! Who would have known that he is the one who gives me the least worries now! It is a blessing for our Zhong family to marry such a good girl like Xiao Qiu!"
Li Guixiang's face was filled with a smile of relief and pride.
"You know what, it's fate that Xiaoqiu, such a good girl, can marry He Yang!"
Shen Xiu also liked Lin Ziqiu very much. For some reason, she felt very close to her from the first moment she saw her.
"Aunt, I finally escaped my mother's curse of urging me to get married, and now you're starting over again. You really don't leave me any chance to survive!"
Song Hui looks gentle and refined, but he is actually very humorous. Especially in front of his elders, he is particularly polite, knows when to advance and retreat, and has high emotional intelligence.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Xiu flicked his forehead and said, "Then you should hurry up and find a wife to bring home, then everyone will be happy, right?"
Song Hui covered his forehead in pain, somewhat helplessly, "Aunt has already said, who can tell about fate? Even the matchmaker in heaven is very busy, maybe it will be my turn next time."
"Look at him, he talks nonsense all day long." Shen Xiu pointed at him and scolded him with a smile, "If you don't consider yourself, you should at least consider Qiaoqiao! You, the eldest brother, haven't married yet, so how can she, the younger sister, get married?"
Song Qiao is the youngest daughter and adopted daughter of the Song family.
She is eight years younger than Song Hui. She works as an obstetrician and gynecologist at Suzhou First People's Hospital.
Speaking of his sister, Song Hui's expression was rather cold. "If she wants to get married, that's her business. It has nothing to do with me."
Shen Xiu noticed his mood change and said nothing more, "Alright, alright, let's eat first. You said on the way here that you wanted to eat Xiao Qiu's cooking. You are in for a treat today."
Originally, Lin Ziqiu was planning to leave for Su City tomorrow and might stay there for about a week, so he thought about making a delicious meal for everyone before leaving.
However, when Li Guixiang went to call Shen Xiu in the afternoon, she was not there. But when she came back, she heard about this from her neighbors, so she rushed over.
Song Hui tilted his head and glanced at Lin Ziqiu meaningfully, his eyes full of tenderness, "Miss Xiaoqiu's cooking skills are second to none, it looks like I'm going to eat too much tonight again."
Ever since he met Lin Ziqiu at the state-owned restaurant, he would go there to show his support almost every day.
Even though he could only see her busy figure in the kitchen from afar, he was still very satisfied. After learning that Lin Ziqiu was willing to go to Su City to cook for his grandmother's birthday banquet, he was so happy that he almost couldn't sleep all night.
"Mr. Song, you are too kind."
Lin Ziqiu responded with a polite smile. She was not familiar with Song Hui, but the other party was Aunt Shen's nephew. Everyone who came was a guest, so she should be polite.
Zhong Heyang unconsciously clenched Lin Ziqiu's hand under the table, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Are you full? How about we go out to digest the food?"
Lin Ziqiu didn't have a big appetite. She only ate half a bowl of rice at night, and was full now. Moreover, she was not like other people who thought that fresh dishes they had never eaten were delicious. To her, these were too common.
"OK."
She stood up and said to the others, "Take your time to eat. Let's go for a walk."
Li Guixiang asked worriedly, "How much have you eaten? Are you full? Eat more!"
Zhong Xuexi held her back and said, "Grandma, my sister-in-law is leaving tomorrow, so don't interrupt their love."
After being reminded by her daughter, Li Guixiang suddenly understood something and couldn't stop smiling, "I was confused. I am old and useless!"
The others also had an expression as if they were being fed dog food.
There was only Song Hui. He looked at Lin Ziqiu's departing back, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.
···
Zhong Heyang held Lin Ziqiu's hand, and put it in his coat pocket because he was afraid she would be cold. "Spring is coming soon. Do you like wearing skirts?"
"A skirt? I wouldn't say I like it. I don't have any requirements for clothes. As long as I can wear it, it's fine."
Lin Ziqiu actually liked skirts very much when she was a child.
Every summer, my mother would buy the most popular fabrics and ask a tailor to make beautiful dresses for her.
Even her school bag is different from others and looks really good.
Later she got lost, and Lin Dahai married Zhang Xiumei. Lin Mengyao was about the same size as her at the time, and her skirt was taken away.
When they grew up a little, let alone new skirts, she even wore clothes that Lin Mengyao didn't want, and her pair of pants had several patches on them.
In addition, she suffered from long-term malnutrition and did not have enough food, so she became the thinnest person in the family.
Yet, she still shoulders the heavy workload for the entire family.
