Father Zhou thought about it and said as if he had made up his mind: "I will give all my shares to my future grandchildren. When they grow up, they will be the chairman. By then, my son will work for your grandson. Do you think this is okay?"
Seeing that Father Lu still showed no signs of relaxation, Father Zhou gritted his teeth and finally raised his eyes to glance at Zhou Qizhen.
I thought to myself: Son, I'm sorry!
Xu Yu continued to say to Father Lu: "If one day in the future, Qi Zheng does something to let Xiao Qiao down, I will make him leave the Zhou family and remove him from the family tree. Then Xiao Qiao will be my daughter."
Father Zhou made two promises that were like "oaths", which made it difficult for Father Lu and Mother Lu to say anything.
Seeing that the two elders' expressions had eased a little, Zhou Qiyue thought of striking while the iron was hot and smoothing things over for his younger brother.
She was wearing an exquisite suit and looked elegant. She no longer cared about being dignified and hurried forward, holding Mother Lu's hands with both hands, speaking in a sincere tone.
"Uncle and aunt! I know this news is too sudden for you. This child came too soon, but it is also a gift from heaven. When Qi Zheng learned the news, he was still on a business trip. He immediately put down the important things in his hands and rushed back."
"Uncle and aunt! Xiao Qiao is very important to our whole family. No one wants her to suffer any injustice. To my brother, she is like a treasure in his heart. Not to mention that they have a child now. He treats Xiao Qiao with the same respect, whether before or after marriage. You don't have to worry about this. If anyone dares to let Xiao Qiao suffer injustice, I will be the first to not forgive him."
Zhou Qiyue's words moved Lu's father. As a father, which one doesn't want his daughter to be respected?
He looked at Zhou Qiyue and said, "Although we are an ordinary family, we are both devoted to protecting our children. I hand my daughter over to you. I don't ask for wealth and honor, but only hope that Qizheng can treat her sincerely and let her have fewer troubles."
Father Lu sighed and then looked at Zhou Qizhen: "Then let's do as your father said and schedule the wedding for May Day!"
Zhou Qizheng was delighted when he heard this: "Dad! Don't worry, I won't let you two down for your trust in me. Thank you, and thank you, Mom!"
Father Zhou was standing nearby and listening to Zhou Qi calling "Dad". He felt a little jealous because this sounded much clearer than when he called himself!
Humph! What's so great about that? When my eldest grandson calls me grandpa in the future, his voice will be even clearer than this, a hundred times clearer.
Now that the wedding date has been set, everything else can be discussed.
The two families are far apart, and the winding journey is quite inconvenient. Zhou's father meant to make arrangements a week in advance, and then send a special person and car to pick up the girl's relatives to the airport, and then everyone will fly to Hangzhou together.
Father Lu asked curiously, "Isn't one week a bit too early?"
Zhou's father smiled and replied, "Hangzhou has beautiful scenery. The weather from late April to early May is neither too hot nor too cold, which is perfect for traveling. This time, we can take advantage of the wedding to let the relatives have a good look around. Father-in-law, please count the number of people in the next few days so that I can arrange a place to stay. I think we can charter a plane when the time comes!"
"Travel?" Father Lu was a little shocked when he heard this. He didn't say anything else and just lowered his head in thought.
Zhao Yaqin, who had been silent the whole time, saw what Father Lu was thinking. She guessed that he didn't want to cause trouble for the Zhou family. She smiled and said, "Father-in-law, you don't have to think too much about it. Let's just go shopping and treat it as a wonderful family outing. It can also add some warm atmosphere to the wedding."
Zhou Qiyue and Zhou Qizhen also persuaded him a few times before Mr. Lu agreed.
"Then I'll go back and count the number of people. There's no need to charter a plane. May is the busy farming season, and I don't think many of you will have that much time."
Zhou Qizheng heaved a sigh of relief when everything was settled. Zhou Qiyue smiled and said in a teasing tone, "Zhou Qizheng, you have come to this day too!"
…
When Lu Xiaoqiao woke up, she saw her mother sitting next to her, staring at her with kind eyes: "Mom!"
Seeing that she was awake, Lu's mother asked with a smile: "Are you awake? Do you want to sleep?"
Lu Xiaoqiao shook her head: "I don't want to sleep anymore!"
Mother Lu handed her a thermos cup. Lu Xiaoqiao took it and drank from it in small sips.
"Qi Zheng just brought this to you. He said you should drink some warm water when you wake up. Oh! Mom didn't even know you had this habit."
Mother Lu's eyes were filled with satisfaction with Zhou Qizhen. She even knew such small details, which showed how much she cared about her daughter.
Lu Xiaoqiao finished her drink and closed the lid on the cup: "Where are the others?"
Mother Lu scolded him, "Why? You went to look for him as soon as you woke up. Are you unhappy to see your mother?"
Lu Xiaoqiao laughed and lay in Lu's mother's arms: "Hehe! How could that be possible! I just asked casually."
"The whole family is interested in the vegetable garden. They don't mind the mud and insist on going to the greenhouse with your dad to take a look. Qi Zheng insisted on seeing what the melon vines look like and said he would bring a few back to plant this time."
Lu Xiaoqiao laughed so hard that her shoulders shook.
Mother Lu reached out and stroked her hair, and asked her with a smile in her eyes: "Your child is the same, why didn't you tell your mother that you were pregnant?"
Lu Xiaoqiao was a little embarrassed and whispered, "I just found out I'm pregnant. I thought I had a cold when I felt uncomfortable before, and my period has been irregular."
Her daughter was young and didn't understand some things, and she wasn't around, so Lu's mother asked worriedly, "How could she not know? You said it was nothing, and you two didn't use contraception, so you didn't think about it?"
When her mother asked her about this, Lu Xiaoqiao blushed and whispered, "I'm on contraception!"
Mother Lu was surprised and asked, "Why are you still pregnant with contraception?"
Lu Xiaoqiao pursed her lips and said, "It wasn't the first time, and I just got pregnant."
Mother Lu: “…”
"So, you two got together after registering?"
Lu Xiaoqiao nodded: "Yes! Otherwise you would break my legs!"
Mother Lu sighed: "I don't know whether your leg is broken or not, but your Zhou Qizheng's leg was almost broken today!"
Lu Xiaoqiao was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Mother Lu said helplessly: "Your father thought you two were pregnant together before you registered."
"ah?"
"What?" Mother Lu reached out and tapped her forehead. "If you had told mom earlier, there wouldn't have been this misunderstanding. Your dad got angry and was scared by your father-in-law. He said that if Zhou Qizhen treated you badly in the future, he would be expelled from the family tree and you would be the daughter of the Zhou family."
Lu Xiaqiao smiled and said, "What did my dad say?"
"What can I say? This family is not simple. And your eldest sister-in-law, Lin Lin's mother, is really good at talking. She coaxed us into not being able to lose our temper at all."
Lu Xiaoqiao smiled sweetly and said, "My sister is a diplomat. She is very kind to me."
