Lu Xiaoqiao followed her mother outside.
She thought she would face opposition from the whole family, but unexpectedly, Lu's mother came up and said, "I agree!", which immediately put her worries to rest.
Upon hearing this, Father Lu frowned and said to Mother Lu in an impatient tone, "What do you agree to? You agree to something I disagree with, but how much older are you? You are ten years older than my daughter."
Mother Lu said indifferently, "He is a little old, but he is ambitious."
"How do you know he's ambitious?"
Lu's mother gave a look of "you're talking nonsense" and said: "My family has business and she has started a company with her friends. I think this child is ambitious."
Lu Xiaoqiao nodded and said, "Yeah! Yes, Mom, you are absolutely right, he is very motivated." She quickly said some more good points to win her boyfriend's favor.
When Mr. Lu heard his daughter and his wife speak well of other men, he felt a little jealous and said in a dissatisfied tone: "You are attracted by his looks! I tell you, that thing can't be eaten."
Mother Lu glanced at him and sneered, "Then what do you think I wanted from you? Was it because you were poor or because you were penniless? I was attracted by your looks, and you are still pretending. What's wrong with being older? Just treat my daughter well! Besides, your father is twelve years older than your mother, why didn't you say so?"
"Why...why did you mention my parents?" Mr. Lu was so angry that he stuttered when he was touched.
In the era of Lu's parents, marriages were arranged and the couple got married without ever meeting each other. In order to get married, the man concealed his actual age. It was not until after the two of them got married that the woman found out his real age.
Because of this incident, people would talk about it as a joke whenever they thought of it, so that he felt since he was a child that marrying someone older was a shame.
Seeing his father's face flushed, Lu Xiaodong didn't know whether he was angry or embarrassed, so he stepped forward to persuade him, "Dad, don't be angry on New Year's Day. They came from far away, so don't always look so sullen. None of us has the final say in this matter. It still depends on my little sister. As long as she is willing, we can help control her character."
Father Lu snorted angrily, "What can you tell about a person's character at this moment? I think you don't judge by character at all, you only judge by appearance."
Seeing that Father Lu was no longer so opposed and now only needed to be given a step down, Lu Xiaoqiao hurriedly hugged his arm and acted coquettishly.
"Okay, Dad, don't be angry. Although he is ten years older than me, he is super, super nice to me. Just give him a chance! Don't you care about age and not how nice he is to me?"
Facing his daughter's coquettish behavior, Father Lu's expression finally brightened up: "Let's see how he performs!"
Everyone was relieved to see that Mr. Lu finally agreed.
The issue started to be discussed, and Lu Xiaoqiao followed the others into the house.
As soon as I walked in, I saw two people, one big and one small, leaning against each other, looking at a tablet.
At this moment, Lu Jiaqi looked at Zhou Qizhen beside him with admiration, his eyes full of twinkling little stars.
I kept exclaiming: "Wow! Uncle, you are so awesome! You can even beat this teacher. Wow! Uncle, look, the teacher is so angry with you that he has gone offline!"
"What are you two playing?" Lu Xiaoqiao walked over and asked with a smile.
When Lu Jiaqi saw that the adults had all entered the house, he quickly pulled Zhou Qizhen's arm and boasted, "Aunt! Your boyfriend can play Go, and he's really good! He beat all the teachers here, hehe!"
"Really? You also know how to play Go?" Lu Xiaoqiao asked Zhou Qizhen.
Zhou Qizheng raised the corner of his mouth and smiled at Lu Xiaoqiao: "A little bit."
In fact, when he was in junior high school, Zhou Qizheng's Go level had already reached 8th dan! At first, he just regarded this as a hobby to kill time, and even refused the teacher who invited him to participate in the competition.
"Where did you get the tablet?" Lu Xiaodong came in and asked.
"Uncle said this is a gift for me, Dad, this is the latest model, hehe! It's better than Li Zihao's."
Lu Xiaodong glanced at his son's face which was flushed with joy, and thought that his sister's boyfriend must have done a lot of homework before coming.
My son has loved playing Go since he was young, but he usually has no one to play with. His classmate has a tablet with a software that allows him to compete with children from all over the country in Go. He has always been envious and wanted one, but his family has never bought one for him.
"He's just a little kid, why did you buy him such an expensive gift? Jiaqi, did you thank your uncle?"
"Dad, don't worry! Uncle bought me such a good gift, how can I not thank him?"
Zhou Qizheng smiled and said, "As long as Jiaqi likes it."
After seeing everyone come in, Zhou Qizhen distributed the remaining gifts to everyone one by one.
Most of the things I bought were nutritional supplements for the two elderly people, such as bird's nest, cordyceps and grass. Knowing that Mr. Lu drank white wine, I specially got a box of special wine and a box of Maotai from the company.
The gift for Lu's mother was a jade necklace of top quality. Lu Xiaoqiao took a look at it and secretly took note of it. She would remind Lu's mother to keep it well. One could tell it was not cheap just by looking at it.
Finally, Zhou Qizheng carried the last two gift bags and handed them to Lu Xiaodong and Liu Man: "Brother, sister-in-law, these are for you."
Liu Man looked at him in surprise: "We already felt bad for buying a gift for Jiaqi, but he also bought one for us. How can we be embarrassed?"
Lu Xiaoqiao didn't expect Zhou Qizhen to be so thoughtful and not forget his brother and sister-in-law's share.
"He has brought it all! Brother and sister-in-law, please accept it!"
…
After distributing the gifts, Lu's mother started to prepare meals for her future son-in-law.
In the outer kitchen.
Mother Lu glanced at Zhou Qizhen who was chatting with Father Lu in the room, smiled with satisfaction, and then continued to work on her work.
It is true that the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she becomes.
Mother Lu was working on something when she suddenly remembered something. She moved to the side of Lu Xiaoqiao and said in a low voice, "Xiaoqiao, it's your grandma's birthday the day after tomorrow. You must bring Qi Zheng over. Do you hear me?"
Lu Xiaoqiao stopped peeling garlic, looked up at Lu's mother, hesitated for a moment and said, "Can we not go?"
When Lu's mother heard this, she was unhappy: "Why not go? Your sister Na brought her boyfriend home for the New Year this year, and you also brought your boyfriend back! Your second aunt will definitely ask about it then."
Lu Xiaoqiao lowered her head and muttered, "I don't want to bring him over and let people compare him."
Upon hearing this, Lu's mother sneered and said proudly, "Let her compete. Isn't she willing to compete? I don't believe anyone can compare to my Qi Zheng."
Lu Xiaoqiao: “…”
