Chapter 51: Small talk
"Mom, there are more than 40 boxes upstairs. I'll take them down and put them at your place later. You can give them to my sisters-in-law after they've used them up. But, Mom, when others ask about you, just say you got them from others and don't show it," Tang Yue said to her mother-in-law. She originally wanted to ask her mother-in-law to help sell them, but then she thought better of it. The target is too big. There are so many powerful people in Beijing. If they are checked, they will be found and they will not be able to escape. It will also bring crisis to the Zhao family. Besides, she has to be low-key and not show off. This thing is too effective. By then, it will definitely be in short supply. The target will be too big.
"Okay, don't worry, Mom will definitely use it. This thing is so effective, others can't even ask for it, how can I just leave it there and not use it?" Zhao's mother assured quickly.
"Mom, when the time comes, you can give some to Dad too, so that he won't be jealous after you become lighter. There's still so much left, so you and Dad can both become lighter together." Tang Yue would not show favoritism, and after improving the favorability of her mother-in-law, she also did not let go of the favorability of her father-in-law.
"You kid, you're teasing your mother." Mother Zhao felt a little embarrassed by her daughter-in-law's words, but when she thought of Father Zhao, she felt very sweet in her heart. The two of them have been together for almost half their lives and have always had a good relationship.
"Mom, we're going back to the Hongqi Brigade tomorrow. You and Dad should take care of your health. I'll come back to see you next time with Shengrui." Tang Yue was a little reluctant. Her in-laws were all very nice and she did not marry the wrong person.
"Okay, you don't have to worry. The nanny Liu Ma and the guard Xiao Wu are at home. Nothing will happen. Don't worry, I've asked Xiao Wu to buy the ticket a long time ago. The train will be at 8 o'clock in the morning. Ask Xiao Wu to take you there. Shengrui's train is an hour late and in a different direction. You have to be careful on the train by yourself. It's still very chaotic now, and those human traffickers are everywhere." Mother Zhao was really worried and couldn't bear to leave her daughter-in-law. After she left, where could she go to see such a good-looking person? She couldn't afford to be obsessed with looks.
"Thank you, Mom. You've bought the ticket for me. You're so nice, Mom. Don't worry. It's okay for me to ride alone. I went there by myself last time when I went to the countryside. I'm familiar with the place. I'll go there when Shengrui applies for a house. Don't worry, me. Eat and drink well at home and take care of yourself. I'll need you to help me take care of the baby then." Tang Yue felt a little embarrassed at the end and changed the subject directly.
"Shengrui, go to your room and put those boxes of facial cream in the closet in Mom's room." Tang Yue directly told Zhao Shengrui to do it, wanting to spend more time with her mother-in-law.
"Okay, got it," Tang Yue called out, and Zhao Shengrui went as if he was following instructions.
When Zhao's mother heard that she was asked to help take care of the baby, her eyes lit up. Her son was not bad looking, and her daughter-in-law was even more like a fairy. The baby they would give birth to would be so cute. She immediately assured her, "Don't worry, I will come to take care of you when you get pregnant."
"Mom, there's no need to come so early. Just come when the baby is about to be born. Besides, can you bear to leave Dad at home alone? He must be so lonely." Tang Yue was not that pretentious. The key point was that it was not good to separate the couple for so long. If she could help take good care of the couple during the confinement period, she would be considered a good mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were still talking, and after a while, Zhao Shengrui came down and said, "Mom, I put the things in your room. I didn't know where you wanted to put them, so I put them on your bed. You can pick them up yourself later."
"Okay, I get it. I really don't want to see you two go. You've only been back for a few days, and now you have to leave again." Fortunately, Zhao's mother didn't complain but didn't say much. After all, she was used to it. When she was young, Zhao's father went out to fight, and it was normal for him to not come back for a few days. Later, when the environment improved, he had to go on missions frequently, so she understood.
"Mom, don't worry, come back when you have time. You are retired at home now, so when we have children, you can come and help us take care of them. Won't we be together again then?" Zhao Shengrui couldn't bear to see his mother so sad, so he quickly comforted her.
Tang Yue, who was standing by, felt a little sad seeing her mother-in-law like this. Although she had only lived with her mother-in-law for a short time, she felt a little reluctant to leave her because her mother-in-law was so nice. She suppressed her shyness and quickly comforted her, "Mom, Shengrui is right. When we have a child, you can help take care of it. The child is still young and doesn't know anything. She needs your help."
Just then, the sound of a car was heard outside the door. It should be the father-in-law who came back. Sure enough, the door opened after a while, and the father-in-law came in. Xiao Wu should have gone to park the car.
"The old man is back. I just went to the kitchen and saw Auntie Liu had prepared dinner and was waiting for you. Your son also bought roast duck for you." When Zhao's mother saw Zhao's father coming back, she quickly greeted him and asked him to eat.
"You don't have to wait for 놖 for meals in the future. You can eat first. 놖 is never on time to come home. Don't starve." When Zhao's father said this, his expression was very gentle, and you could tell at a glance that 놖 was talking to Zhao's mother.
It’s not that Zhao’s father is hard to talk to, but he has been in the army for a long time and has become serious. Sometimes he would unconsciously frown at home, and he would only be gentle when talking to Zhao’s mother.
Tang Yue has only been here for a day or so, and she has figured it out. There is no need to be afraid, just treat it with a normal attitude.
Tang Yue and Zhao Shengrui called him "Dad" respectively, and Zhao's father just responded with a soft "hmm" and stopped talking.
“It’s boring to eat alone usually. It’s more company when you come back and we eat together. My son and daughter-in-law are leaving tomorrow. We’ll have a reunion dinner together when you come back.” Mother Zhao was used to eating with Father Zhao. If there was someone else at the table one day, she would be very uncomfortable.
The family had dinner at the table in the evening. Compared with the liveliness of last night, tonight was a bit quiet, but fortunately it was not dull.
Knowing that his youngest son and daughter-in-law were leaving tomorrow, Zhao's father also reminded them, "Be careful on the road, and live a good life with your spouse in the future. The couple should discuss their lives and trust each other."
It's rare that my father-in-law said a few more words.
"Got it, Dad." Tang Yue knew that her father-in-law was using his own experience to tell her and Brother Zhao that the most important thing for a couple to live together is trust.
After dinner, the whole family sat in the living room and chatted. Knowing that they would be separated tomorrow, everyone felt a little reluctant. Finally, Zhao's father said, "Pack your luggage early and have a rest. You have to get up early to catch the train tomorrow." Only then did everyone disperse.
Tang Yue and Zhao Shengrui returned to the bedroom on the third floor and prepared to pack their luggage. In fact, there was not much to pack, just a few sets of her own clothes and shoes, and the things given by her mother-in-law. Suddenly, she remembered that she had not yet seen the gifts given to her by her sisters-in-law. She took out the small backpack and took out the bracelet given by her mother-in-law first. Then she found the red envelope and opened it to see that there were five yuan bills. Several sisters-in-law did not pack, but they had already discussed it.
After visiting her in-laws' house, Tang Yue returned with more than 1,000 yuan, a house, and some jewelry. She put the things in her backpack and put them in her space away from Zhao Shengrui. It was not safe to leave them outside. They were too valuable and it would be a shame if they were stolen.
