When we returned to Xiangcheng, it was already past four in the afternoon.

As expected, when Zhou Yu came out of Xiangcheng Railway Station carrying a lot of bags, the only one who was looking forward to waiting for him was Xiao Qiao.

It’s not that others don’t want to come.

Zhou Dahai and Wang Yufang, Zhou Yu's biological parents who loved their son deeply, were busy at work at the moment and naturally had no time to come to pick up the car. And Zhou Yu's future mother-in-law Huang Qing had just gone on a business trip today, so naturally she couldn't come either.

As Zhou Yu's future father-in-law, Qiao Lu...

Qiao Lu had nothing to do and was idle at home, but he just didn't want to go.

Qiao Lu was angry with Zhou Yu.

"My dad is almost mad at me. He said that I finally got a few days at home during the summer vacation, and you said you would take me out to play for a few days and then come back, but you ended up being away for so many days and not coming back!" Qiao Meng looked at Zhou Yu's face and laughed.

Zhou Yu curled his lips, thinking that this old man was quite hot-tempered.

Zhou Yu couldn't help but complain, "Then there's nothing to do for you to stay in Xiangcheng! You'll just stay at home all day, watch TV, and help your dad with housework! Why don't you go out and play with me!"

"Hey, let's not talk about this for now! By the way, what are these things in your hand? Why are there so many?" Qiao Meng looked at the large and small bags in Zhou Yu's hand and asked curiously, "Can you carry them? If not, I can help you carry some!"

"It can be lifted! You don't have to do it. Be careful not to hurt your hand!" Zhou Yu carefully avoided the hand that Qiao Meng stretched out to help him, and continued to walk forward. "It was sent by Mr. Xu from Jiahe, Xu Jiacheng! He said it was some special products and gifts for you. I haven't taken a closer look yet. Let's take a closer look when we get back. Let's get in the car and go home first!"

"There's also one for me?" Qiao Meng was a little surprised.

"Yes, Xu Jiacheng said that his wife gets along well with you. You left in a hurry last time and didn't have time to prepare a gift for you, so this time when I came back, he asked me to bring it to you."

After hearing Zhou Yu's explanation, Qiao Meng suddenly realized, "Oh~~Is that so! Then I understand."

Ever since Zhou Yu brought Qiao Meng to Jiahe, he has been busy preparing lessons and teaching all day, and has very little time to spend with Qiao Meng.

When Qiao Meng saw Zhou Yu was busy with work and had no time to accompany her, she was not angry, but sensible and did not make a fuss. Whenever Zhou Yu was working, she would quietly find a place to read a book, play with her phone, etc.

A few days passed like this. Perhaps because Xu Jiacheng's wife realized that she had not entertained Qiao Meng enough, or for some other reason, she began to take the initiative to contact Qiao Meng. She often chatted with Qiao Meng and took Qiao Meng to visit some scenic spots around Jiahe. This prevented Qiao Meng from being too bored during her stay in Jiahe.

"Hehe, Xiao Zhou, Xiao Zhou, let me tell you something! After I came back, my dad saw that I had changed my phone and asked me why I suddenly changed it. I said that I didn't buy this phone, and my dad glared at me, saying that I shouldn't have accepted such an expensive gift from you! I said that this was a gift from your tutor's parents, and that you and I each had one, and my dad didn't know what to say at that time! Haha."

"Tsk tsk, old... ahem, Mr. Qiao is quite principled! Wait, you called me Xiao Zhou?! Why do you call me Xiao Zhou? Didn't you always call me by my full name before?"

"Since you call me Xiao Qiao, why can't I call you Xiao Zhou?"

...

...

The journey home was very short. After getting in the taxi, Zhou Yu and Qiao Meng returned to Zhou Yu's home in a short while.

After bringing the bags back to the house, Zhou Yu didn't say anything yet, but Qiao Meng started counting them with great interest.

"Hey~ Why are there rice dumplings here? Didn't the Dragon Boat Festival pass a long time ago? Why does Jiahe still have these now?" Qiao Meng picked up a box of rice dumplings and asked curiously.

He was resting on the sofa, stroking the head of Ah Huang who was lying under the sofa. After hearing Qiao Meng's question, he just looked up and said, "Jiahe's rice dumplings are very famous, especially Wufangzhai's. Look, it's the box in your hand."

"Oh, so that's it! There's also chrysanthemum tea, pickled duck, and oh, there's even silk brocade here! Wow, there are so many things!" Qiao Meng exclaimed as she flipped through the books.

Zhou Yu had probably read almost all of these things. The only thing he hadn't read was the gift that Xu Jiacheng's wife Zhao Mingfang prepared for Qiao Meng. The reason he hadn't read it was because it was a gift for Qiao Meng, and Zhou Yu didn't want to look through it casually.

"Take a copy of all these back when the time comes. Xu Jiacheng gave you a lot!" Zhou Yu said to Qiao Meng who was still packing up, and then asked, "By the way, what did Xu Jiacheng's wife give you?"

"You don't know?"

"What do I know? I won't rummage through the things I gave you!"

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Qiao Meng smiled and narrowed her eyes. She picked up the boxes that Zhao Mingfang had given her. "They are all skin care products! I haven't used them, but I have seen these brands. They are quite expensive."

After hearing that it was a skin care product, Zhou Yu immediately lost interest.

Not long after, Zhou Dahai and Wang Yufang came back and saw the things all over the floor and couldn't help but ask, and Zhou Yu gave another explanation.

In the evening, Qiao Meng wanted to stay at Zhou Yu's house for dinner.

But because Huang Qing is on a business trip and not at home, if Qiao Meng is not at home either, Qiao Lu will be the only one left at home, which Qiao Meng will definitely be reluctant to leave.

So seeing that the time was almost up, Qiao Meng prepared to say goodbye and leave.

"Why are you leaving, Xiao Qiao? Come home for dinner tonight!" Seeing Qiao Meng was about to leave, Zhou Dahai and Wang Yufang tried to try to keep her.

Qiao Meng shook her head repeatedly, "No, uncle and aunt, my dad is home alone. If I don't go home, he will have nothing to eat, so he has to go out to eat by himself!"

"Hey! What's the big deal?" Wang Yufang waved her hand and turned to instruct Zhou Yu, "Zhou Yu, you, you should go to your old... no, go to your teacher Qiao's house and pick up your teacher Qiao. We can have a meal together tonight!"

"Okay! I'll go right away!" Zhou Yu stood up and prepared to go out to pick up his future father-in-law for dinner.

Not long after, when I came back, Zhou Yu and Qiao Lu came in together.

After Qiao Lu entered the room, he greeted Zhou Dahai and Wang Yufang happily and talked to them.

Although he said that he was dissatisfied with Zhou Yu in various ways, this dissatisfaction actually came from the fact that his daughter was about to be abducted by Zhou Yu. In fact, Qiao Lu was always quite satisfied with Zhou Yu from the bottom of his heart.

Therefore, at the dinner table in the evening, while Qiao Lu was drinking with Zhou Dahai, his words implied that he was extremely satisfied with Zhou Yu.

"Old Zhou, let me tell you, I watched Zhou Yu grow up!" Qiao Lu clinked his glasses with Zhou Dahai, took a sip and said, "I am satisfied with everything he does! At that time, I was wondering if the child marriage you talked about back then still counts!"

"Dad~" These words made Qiao Meng's face turn red, and she patted Qiao Lu gently.

Zhou Yu, on the other hand, was laughing shamelessly beside them.

"Don't give me that frivolous smile! If Xiao Qiao tells me about any injustice she suffered from you in the future, I'll show you how I'm going to deal with you!" Before Qiao Lu could say anything, Zhou Dahai glared at Zhou Yu from the side.

They ate and talked, and it was already past eight o'clock in the evening when Qiao Meng and Qiao Lu left with the various gifts that Zhou Yu brought back from Jiahe.

Seeing that his parents had packed up and sat back on the sofa, Zhou Yu suddenly reacted, took out a bank card from his pocket and threw it in front of Wang Yufang.

"Mom, please keep this card." Zhou Yu said casually.

Wang Yufang was stunned for a moment, then picked up the card and looked at it carefully. "What kind of card is this? Is it your salary card?"

"No, this is the tutoring fee given by the boss of Jiahe." Zhou Yu explained.

Wang Yufang also knew that Zhou Yu went to Jiahe to be a tutor.

"Hey! Just keep the money you earn. Why give it to mom? I don't mind it!" Wang Yufang said with a smile.

"Two hundred thousand. I don't need that much for now. Please keep it for me."

"Duo...Mr. Duo?" Wang Yufang was stunned, thinking there was something wrong with her hearing.
