As soon as Su Ning and her group arrived in Hedi Village, many neighbors came over to gossip.
Zhu Xia had visited three years ago when He Ci and Su Ning got married, and many people still remembered this lady.
Qin Fengxia usually had a good relationship with Li Mei, and when she saw Su Ning bringing her mother-in-law home to visit relatives, she greeted her with a smile.
"Ning'er, Xiao He, you're back. This must be your mother-in-law! She's so well-preserved. Standing next to Ning'er, she looks like a sister."
He Ci also quite liked this auntie; she was sweet-talking and knew how to get things done. Back then, she had tricked her son into working at the factory to earn money for him, and the auntie was still very grateful to him.
I heard that the two brothers are doing very well. The older brother became a sales manager and the younger brother became a research and development engineer. Qin Fengxia feels proud whenever she goes out.
Zhu Xia had little interaction with the villagers. Her social circle used to consist of wealthy women and socialites, and she didn't know how to get along with the villagers.
"This lady has a very good tongue, and you have a very elegant demeanor."
Qin Fengxia was surprised that He Ci's mother was so eloquent. Is that how people in Gangcheng address each other?
He Ci introduced Zhu Xia, "Mom, this is Aunt Fengxia, our neighbor. She's younger than you, so you can call her by her name."
Qin Fengxia chimed in, "Yes, yes, Mom He, you can call me Fengxia."
When Zhu Zhou's mother heard that her in-laws had arrived, she walked through the crowd to Zhu Xia. He Jin took the child and then introduced the two of them.
"Mom, this is my mother-in-law Xue Lingyu, and this is my mother Zhu Xia."
Xue Lingyu also came from a large family. Although she stayed in the village for many years, she never lost her manners.
“Mother-in-law, I’ve heard from my son that you’re coming ashore today and will be having dinner at our place later. Zhu Zhou hired a chef early this morning.”
Li Mei didn't argue with Xue Lingyu. This was something they had agreed upon. Their daughter and son-in-law lived in their own home and could eat whenever they wanted.
This was the first time Zhu Xia's mother-in-law had met He Jin's parents-in-law, so they were having dinner at their house. Zhu Xia looked at the child in He Jin's arms and couldn't help but reach out to hold him.
"Jin'er, is this my grandson?"
He Jin nodded with a smile, "Mom, he is my and Zhu Zhou's son, his full name is Zhu Xingyun, and his nickname is Pipi."
Zhu Xia loves children. The little one is so cute and adorable; babies are at their cutest at five or six months old.
Su Ning really wanted to hug the little one, but Zhu Xia was afraid the child would kick her, so she didn't let her. The little one smiled at Su Ning with all his might.
There's a saying in the village that the words spoken by children under three years old are very accurate, but unfortunately, the little guy can't speak yet.
If the child could speak, Li Mei would definitely ask on Su Ning's behalf whether her daughter was carrying a younger brother or sister.
As dusk fell, everyone packed up and went to Zhu Zhou's house. There were no outsiders present today, just Su Ning's family, Zhu Zhou's family, and Zhu Xiaheci.
The meal was a pleasant one for both the host and guests. During the conversation, Zhu Xia learned that Xue Lingyu was a well-known painter. She was also very satisfied with Zhu Zhou's family background, and the two families were considered a good match.
After dinner, Zhu Xia stayed at the Zhu family's house, while He Jin wanted to spend more time with her mother. In the end, He Ci and his group returned to the Su family's house.
Everything was familiar, with the same familiar furnishings. Although the two of them didn't come back often, Li Mei cleaned the room every day.
Now that her daughter is pregnant, she made new quilts for the young couple and installed air conditioning in their room. Few families in the village have air conditioning, and the top floor gets hot in the summer. Li Mei didn't want her daughter to suffer.
He woke up feeling refreshed, and even the fatigue from yesterday was gone. He Ci was much more obedient now. Su Ning was pregnant, and he was afraid of harming the child, so he treated Su Ning like a queen every day.
Su Ning was very cautious this time because of her pregnancy. She didn't even dare to wear heels. This child was hard-won, so she was very careful. Li Mei originally wanted them to live downstairs, but she was afraid of disturbing Su Ning's pregnancy, so in the end they stayed in the original place.
