The morning of the tenth day.

Zhou Dahai went to the mine to work early. Wang Yufang accompanied Zhou Yu for breakfast and also went to work at the factory.

"You really don't need me to take you to the station?" Wang Yufang asked.

While eating chicken noodle soup, Zhou Yu casually replied, "Really not necessary!"

Following Zhou Yu's words, the dinner table fell silent again, leaving only the sound of Zhou Yu slurping noodles.

Looking at Zhou Yu who was eating happily, he hesitated for a long time. After holding back so much, Yu Fang finally couldn't help it. She looked at her son and whispered, "Since you are friends with her, treat her well!"

Zhou Yu was shocked. "Mom, you! This is not, what kind of friends are you talking about? Haha, I don't understand what you are talking about!"

"What are you talking about? You're dating Xiao Qiao and you want to hide it from us, right?!"

"No, how did you know that?!"

Zhou Yu was a little panicked. I told you this too! How did you know this? Did you peek at my phone again?

As a mother, how can we not see what our son is thinking?

Wang Yufang rolled her eyes at Zhou Yu, "Do I need to check your phone? You're just holding your phone all day long, grinning like an idiot! Anyone can tell that something's wrong with you!"

After mocking her son harshly, Wang Yufang finally told the truth, "I didn't look at your phone! It was Qiao Meng's parents who told us! Do you want to hide it from us? Qiao Meng told her parents on New Year's Day! Her parents told us right after they found out!"

"You're the only idiot who still thinks you've kept it a secret from the rest of us!"

Ah? Did Qiao Meng tell her parents?

After hearing what Wang Yufang said, Zhou Yu finally reacted.

No wonder Aunt Huang and Teacher Qiao looked at me strangely when I went to see Qiao Meng these days!

From the first to the third day of the Lunar New Year, after Zhou Yu accompanied his parents to visit relatives, he basically had nothing else to do.

So, after the fourth day of the New Year, Zhou Yu tried every means to ask Qiao Meng out for a meeting.

Faced with the request of her new boyfriend, Qiao Meng naturally agreed to it. After all, she also wanted to be with Zhou Yu every day, even if they didn't do anything or say anything, just you looking at me and I looking at you.

However, when Zhou Yu went to pick up Qiao Meng, he would inevitably meet Qiao Meng's parents.

Now that I think about it, what was the look in Aunt Huang's eyes when she looked at me at that time? She seemed satisfied? She couldn't be more satisfied, as if she was looking at her own son.

But why did Mr. Qiao look at me so strangely? As if I had stolen something from him and was going to kill me?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Originally, he thought that Qiao Meng and he had a tacit understanding and would, like him, keep it a secret from their parents for the time being, so he did not tell Qiao Meng about it. However, he never expected that Qiao Meng had already been impatient to tell Qiao Lu and Huang Qing everything.

This makes it seem like Zhou Yu is a little insincere in this relationship, even though he has clearly decided on Qiao Meng for his life.

After going over all of this in his mind, Zhou Yu decided to confess to Wang Yufang, "Mom, Qiao Meng and I are indeed dating, and I didn't mean to hide it from you! Don't worry, I will definitely treat Qiao Meng well."

After listening to her son's words, Wang Yufang nodded and said, "Since you said so, I am relieved. You always have your own ideas. I will go to work first. You can leave the dishes there after you finish eating. I will wash them when I get back from get off work."

"Mmmm..." Zhou Yu ate noodles and whimpered incoherently, but from the way he waved his hands, it was clear that he was signaling Wang Yufang not to worry about him and to go to work.

After Wang Yufang left, Zhou Yu did not listen to her. Instead, he washed the bowls from the morning, then picked up his suitcase, backpack, etc., locked the door of his house, and left.

......

In front of Xiangcheng Railway Station Square.

Qiao Meng was walking in front carrying a small bag, followed by Huang Qing, while Qiao Lu was following behind, dragging Qiao Meng's suitcase.

Facing this rather grand farewell from her parents, Qiao Meng couldn't help but complain, "Mom, why did you have to come with me when you and my dad could just stay at home and rest?"

Huang Qing hadn't said anything yet, but Qiao Lu, who was dragging the suitcase diligently behind him like a workhorse, spoke first, "You don't know what's good for you! Mom and Dad are concerned about you! They're worried that you won't be able to handle all these things by yourself!"

"Besides, you're going to work in Luzhou, and it will be several months before you can return to Xiangcheng! Your mother can't bear to leave you, so she can't spend more time with you!"

After hearing what Qiao Lu said, Qiao Meng didn't say anything more, but just kept mumbling, "I didn't see you send me off last year? Why is it an exception this year?"

Although they said they were here to see Qiao Meng off, Qiao Lu and Huang Qing only walked to the entrance and stopped moving forward, and they also did not allow Qiao Meng to move forward.

"What's wrong, mom?" Qiao Meng looked at her parents in confusion, "Why don't you go in?"

"Wait a moment before going in," Qiao Lu pulled the suitcase to his feet and put it aside. He glanced at the time on his watch. "According to the departure time of your train, Xiao Zhou should be here soon."

Although Qiao Meng has always been bold, she couldn't help but blush slightly after hearing her lover's name from her father's mouth, "You didn't come here specially to see Zhou Yu, did you? It's not like you haven't seen Zhou Yu before! Is it necessary?"

"It's necessary! Very necessary!" Qiao Lu glared at Qiao Meng. "Even though your mom and I have watched Zhou Yu grow up, and we are happy to see you two together, but since you two are leaving together this time, I have to have a few more words with that kid, right?!"

Qiao Meng: “…”

Okay, as long as you are happy.

In this way, the family stood at the entrance, chatting while waiting for Zhou Yu to arrive.

Not long after, Zhou Yu was seen dragging a black suitcase, carrying a backpack, and holding a plastic bag full of KFc.

Seeing the dusty Zhou Yu from a distance, Qiao Meng's eyes lit up and she quickly waved in the direction Zhou Yu was coming from, shouting, "Zhou Yu! Here!"

When Zhou Yu saw Qiao Meng, he was also happy, but when he saw Qiao Lu and Huang Qing beside Qiao Meng, he panicked again. But Zhou Yu had no choice. You can't just avoid them when they are here, right? That would be unbecoming!

Helpless, Zhou Yu could only bite the bullet and go forward to greet them, "Auntie Huang, Teacher Qiao! What a coincidence!"

Qiao Lu stood aside with a stern face, but Huang Qing smiled amiably when he saw Zhou Yu, "Unfortunately, unfortunately, I am here to send you and our Qiao Meng off."

Hearing Huang Qing's words, Zhou Yu looked at Qiao Meng beside him and raised his eyebrows, meaning that you told your parents that I want to go to Luzhou with you?

Qiao Meng pouted, frowned and glared back.

Seeing his daughter and Zhou Yu making eyes at each other, Qiao Lu couldn't bear it, so he gently scolded Qiao Meng, "What are you doing? Just speak nicely!" After scolding Qiao Meng, he turned his head and looked at Zhou Yu and warned, "Zhou Yu, you are going to Ruxu this time and passing by Luzhou. You have to take good care of Qiao Meng in the car."

Qiao Meng didn’t say!

Zhou Yu was now completely relieved, and hurriedly put on a smiling face to deal with his future mother-in-law and father-in-law.

After chatting for a few more words, they sent Qiao Meng and Zhou Yu to the station together. Qiao Lu and Huang Qing gave them a few more instructions before leaving.

Seeing the two people leave, Zhou Yu almost breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiao Meng couldn't help but laugh when she saw Zhou Yu like this, and joked, "What's wrong with you? You act like a mouse seeing a cat when you see my dad! When my dad was your class teacher, you often came to my house to eat for free, but I didn't see you like this back then~"

"How can it be the same? I was your father's student back then! What about now?"

"What is your current status~"

"He's my father-in-law now! I haven't gotten used to this sudden change in status yet, so how can I not panic when I see him?"

"I hate you so much~ Who is your father-in-law?"

"Oh, it's only a matter of time. But luckily you didn't tell your dad that I was going to Luzhou with you, otherwise I think he would have bought a ticket to Luzhou right away and kept an eye on the two of us. He wouldn't go back to Xiangcheng until I got on the bus back to Ruxu."

Zhou Yu's words successfully made Qiao Meng laugh, "Haha, Zhou Yu, I'm going to tell my dad that you were making up stories about him behind his back!"
