Chapter 208 Li Qiu's First Visit to Her Husband's House
It has to be said that Meng Xiaoyang's words were quite effective. Two days later, Ji Lei and Jian Liqiu both got their leave applications as they wished.
The first time she went to the Ji family, Jian Liqiu brought the grapes and peaches that Jian Qingyi had sent her two days ago, and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy malted milk, cakes and canned food.
Thinking that today was Ji Lei's mother's birthday, Jian Liqiu went to the clothing counter and bought a shirt for Ji Lei's mother.
After going around the supply and marketing cooperatives, more than a month's allowance was gone.
When Ji Lei came over with pork belly and big grass carp, Jian Liqiu's hands were already full of things.
"Why are you buying so much?" Ji Lei hurried forward and took the things from her hands.
"It's my first time going to your house, how can I not bring something?" Jian Liqiu bit her lips slightly, as if trying hard to control her shyness.
Although she and Ji Lei have already registered their marriage, because Ji Lei is busy with tasks and training, the time they can spend together is very limited.
Not to mention talking about love and cultivating feelings.
Plus, Jian Liqiu is shy...
The two have been in a relationship for several months, but they haven't even held hands yet.
The Ji family lives in the suburbs of Beijing, which is not very close to the supply and marketing cooperative where the two of them work.
The bus swayed for more than half an hour before arriving at the bus stop near Ji's house.
Seeing Jian Liqiu's nervous expression, Ji Lei smiled softly, "Don't be so nervous, my mother and brother are both easy to talk to."
"I'm not nervous." Jian Liqiu lowered her eyes, not daring to look directly into Ji Lei's eyes.
God knows how fast her heart is beating at this moment.
She seriously suspected that if her lips hadn't been tightly shut, her pounding heart would have jumped out of her mouth.
"Leilei, why don't you go inside when you get home?" A young female voice appeared in front of the two of them on the right.
Ji Lei and Jian Liqiu subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.
A young woman in her twenties stood at the gate of the courtyard about ten meters away. She was wearing a bright red waist-cinching dress that made her look delicate and charming.
"Sister-in-law! This is me..." Ji Lei called the woman and was about to introduce her.
Jian Liqiu also quickly curled her lips, ready to greet the woman.
"Come into the house first!" The woman turned around and walked into the courtyard behind her without even looking at Jian Liqiu.
The corners of Jian Liqiu's mouth froze on her face.
At this moment, she felt it was difficult to breathe.
"Let's go in first!" Ji Lei looked embarrassed for a moment, then quickly adjusted his facial expression.
Jian Liqiu nodded slightly and followed Ji Lei into the courtyard.
Although the gate is large, the area of the courtyard is less than 60 square meters.
Ji Lei's mother was sitting in the yard picking vegetables. When she heard Ji Lei's voice, she hurriedly got up and went out to greet him.
"Leilei is back?!"
"Mom!" Ji Lei called out with some envy.
Although his home and the Military Region are both in Beijing, Ji Lei may not be able to go home for three to five months due to the intense training and heavy tasks.
Looking at his mother whose temples were already gray with frost, Ji Lei could not hide the heartache in his eyes.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Ji Lei's mother couldn't help but tear up.
When Ji Lei's mother learned that her son would be back today, she was so happy that she couldn't sleep all night.
"Mom, this is my girlfriend Jian Liqiu, who works in our military region's art troupe. Liqiu, this is my mom." Ji Lei introduced the two to her with a smile.
"Auntie!" Jian Liqiu curled up the corners of her mouth and greeted her proactively.
"Hey, good boy!" Ji Lei's mother lowered her head, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and responded with a smile.
After the eldest son got married, Ji Lei's marriage became a concern for Ji Lei's mother. Knowing that her son had a partner, Ji Lei's mother finally put down the heavy stone that was weighing on her heart.
Now seeing her daughter-in-law looking so well-behaved and pretty, Ji Lei's mother was extremely satisfied.
"Mom, these are all bought for you by Li Qiu." Ji Lei raised the things in his hand.
"You kid, just come, why spend so much money!" Ji Lei's mother said this, but in her heart she was more and more satisfied with her daughter-in-law.
As the old saying goes, marry a virtuous woman.
The eldest daughter-in-law has a strong temper and is intolerant, but the marriage has already taken place and it is a foregone conclusion. There is no point in her regretting it, so Ji Lei's mother secretly hopes that Ji Lei can find a gentle and considerate wife.
Jian Liqiu, with her pretty face and shy personality, satisfied all of Ji Lei's fantasies about a daughter-in-law.
"It's a expense, but who is paying for it?" the young woman said sarcastically.
Ji Lei frowned.
Thinking of his mother's difficulties and his brother's predicament, he turned his head away, unwilling to pay attention to this strong-willed sister-in-law.
Jian Liqiu has a soft personality and it is her first time visiting the Ji family, so it is even harder for her to say anything.
For a moment, the atmosphere became awkward.
"Li Qiu, it's hot outside, come sit inside!" Ji Lei's mother rubbed her hands on her apron and pulled Li Qiu into the house.
Ji Lei didn't look at the young woman standing under the eaves. He put the pork belly and big grass carp in his hands into the wooden basin beside the well and followed the two into the house.
Inside the room, Ji Lei's mother took Li Qiu's hand and said apologetically, "Li Qiu, I know you are a good child. Ji Lei's sister-in-law has a strong temper. Don't be like her..."
"Aunt, I'm fine." Jian Liqiu patted Ji Lei's hand soothingly.
"Oh, by the way, Ji Lei said today is your birthday. I didn't know what you like, so I bought you a shirt."
As Jian Liqiu spoke, she took the bag from Ji Lei's hand, took out a shirt from it and handed it to Ji Lei's mother.
"Auntie, try it on and see if it fits."
Ji Lei's mother gently stroked the shirt in her hands, with unconcealable joy in her eyes.
"Suitable, suitable."
Ji Lei's mother nodded hurriedly, feeling sweeter than eating honey.
"Li Qiu, don't waste money on buying things for me in the future. You two will have to live your life after you get married, so you still have to save money!"
Ji Lei's mother really likes this little daughter-in-law.
I also want them to live a prosperous life.
"Mom, Li Qiu is filial to you, so just take it. Why are you saying those things?" Ji Lei frowned slightly.
Although he didn't have much contact with Jian Liqiu, he knew what kind of person she was.
He believed that she was frugal and managed the household well.
He certainly wouldn't believe that she was extravagant.
"I was just happy for a moment. Look at me, I'm talking nonsense again. Liqiu, don't be angry with your aunt. I just like you so much that I can't help but nag you." Ji Lei's mother held Jian Liqiu's hand helplessly.
"Aunt, you said that for our own good, how could I be angry!" Jian Liqiu smiled and shook Ji Lei's hand.
"Grandma, I'm hungry." The little boy's baby voice came from the yard.
"I'm coming, I'm coming." Ji Lei's mother responded to the outside of the house, turned her head and looked at Jian Liqiu, "Liqiu, you rest in the house for a while, auntie is going to cook."
"Auntie, let me help you." Jian Liqiu said immediately.
