Chapter 103 Inviting Xiao Huaishu to Beijing

After shopping, it was already time for lunch.

Too lazy to go home and cook, the two of them went to a nearby state-owned hotel.

Each person had a bowl of noodles, and that was it for lunch.

Xu Muzhou asked Xiao Qingru: "Do you want to go to the movies?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Qingru recalled the time she went there.

"You gave me movie tickets and we bumped into each other at the state-owned hotel. Was that intentional?"

Xu Muzhou's ears turned red, and he pretended to be calm and replied, "Isn't this a common way to woo girls?"

Xiao Qingru laughed out loud, "You are such a scheming person."

"It's called strategy. Chasing girls requires brains."

"I complimented you a few words and you became proud?"

Xu Muzhou did not restrain his expression, "Isn't it worthy of pride to marry the girl you love?"

Xiao Qingru was caught off guard by the confession and felt very sweet inside.

"You have such a sweet mouth."

If he wasn't still outside right now, Xu Muzhou would have acted like a hooligan.

"So, do you want to go to the movies?"

"go!"

Xiao Qingru has never watched a movie with Xu Muzhou. Today, she has time, so going to watch a movie will not only kill time, but also enhance the relationship between husband and wife.

It only takes ten minutes to drive to the cinema.

After parking the car, he put a scarf on Xiao Qingru before letting her out.

Movie tickets were one cent each, and Xu Muzhou also bought a bag of melon seeds for Xiao Qingru.

Xiao Qingru said with a half-smile: "If I didn't know your past, I would have suspected that you had a date."

Xu Muzhou cried out that he was wronged, "Some things are innate and don't need to be learned."

He wanted to be nice to Xiao Qingru, and he knew how to do it without anyone teaching him.

Followed the crowd into the screening room.

At this point in time, most people who come to watch movies are young people.

Xiao Qingru is experienced and sticks to one principle when watching movies.

Don’t look at what you shouldn’t look at!

So after the lights went out, she focused on watching the movie.

Xu Muzhou was depressed, and others came to the cinema for dates.

땤His wife really came to watch the movie!

The big hand quietly reached over, took Xiao Qingru's hand, and held her fingers tightly, then he contentedly turned his attention to the curtain.

Xiao Qingru turned her head to look at him. Although the light was dim, she could still see the upturned corners of the man's mouth.

He couldn't help but hold Xu Muzhou's big hand tightly.

Like him, she was in a good mood.

Apart from holding hands, Xu Muzhou did not do anything else that crossed the line.

After a while, Xiao Qingru wanted to let go, but the man was unwilling and held her tightly.

"How can I eat melon seeds when you are like this?"

Xu Muzhou stretched out his free hand and said, "Spit the melon seed shells here."

Xiao Qingru's mouth twitched.

Well, still as clingy as ever!

Since Xu Muzhou had no objection, Xiao Qingru really put the melon seed shells in the palm of his hand.

The man lowered his eyes and looked at Xiao Qingru, his eyes full of tenderness.

Clearly happy to serve her.

After watching the movie, two hours had passed.

Without stopping, I drove home.

…

After returning home, Xiao Qingru sent the mutton to her mother's home.

Neither she nor Xu Muzhou had ever made mutton jerky before, and they didn't want such a good thing to be ruined in their hands, so they took it home and asked their mother to help make it.

Xiao's mother said, "You rarely have a day off, so just have dinner at home. You will be returning to Beijing in a few days, so just treat it as a reunion dinner in advance."

"Isn't it too early to have a reunion dinner now? We still have more than half a month before we go to Beijing."

"You guys are still packing your bags at this time, who knows if you will be able to go home for dinner? Why not wait for a better day? Let's do it today."

"Then we'll just eat and drink for free."

Xiao's mother smiled, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes became more obvious. "I wish you could come home to eat every day."

Although he said he was here to eat, Xu Muzhou actually moved the food from the tube-shaped building over.

Not much, about twenty.

Fine grains account for the majority.

"Why did you bring the food here? Aren't you two going to eat?"

"There are still more than 30 people in the tube building. Don't worry, we won't be hungry."

During this period, Xu Muzhou and Xiao Qingru's staple food was pumpkin, so they saved a lot of food.

They go home for meals from time to time, so it's only natural that they bring food here.

Xiao Qingru echoed, "There are rats in the tube building. We have been away from Beijing for a month. The food has been stolen. What a pity."

"Lock the food in the cupboard so mice can't steal it."

"Just in case, it's safer to bring it back here."

"Mom, please help us get the mutton jerky."

Xiao's mother shook her head helplessly. How could she not see what the young couple was thinking?

Isn't it just that you think it's troublesome to prepare mutton, so you use grain as a thank-you gift?

As a family, I keep making excuses and it seems to be different.

Xiao's mother said, "I will buy some sesame oil tomorrow and fry it in oil. One can is enough to eat a lot. It will be very fragrant if you put a little bit of sesame oil when eating noodles or cooking."

Neither Xiao Qingru nor Xu Muzhou had any objections.

"Mom, just take care of it. We trust your craftsmanship."

As a housewife, what makes Xiao's mother feel most accomplished is that her family loves the food she cooks.

The trust of the young couple at this moment made Xiao's mother confident that she would make the food satisfy the couple.

So, he caught Xu Muzhou and asked him a lot of questions about his parents' taste.

Xu Muzhou can cook. He is not the kind of person who just sits there and waits for food and clothes to be served to him. Naturally, he knows his parents' taste very well.

He always answered questions asked by his mother-in-law.

In the end, Xiao's mother envied the Xu couple.

"Your parents are so lucky to have a good son. If you ask Huaishu, he definitely doesn't know your father and I's tastes."

Xu Muzhou smiled and said, "Mom, I am your son, we are all the same."

"I just picked it up ready-made. It's a great bargain."

The atmosphere in the Xiao family is as harmonious as ever.

By the time Xiao's father and Xiao Huaishu got home from get off work, dinner was already ready.

The food was dumplings filled with cabbage and eggs.

Xiao Huaishu sighed, "Sure enough, it's only when you are at home that I can benefit from your presence and eat good food."

Xiao Qingru's eyes moved slightly, and she said with a smile: "You should bring a sister-in-law home for me as soon as possible. Mom will definitely make delicious food for you every day."

Xiao Huaishu had a headache. It was not easy for his parents to stop urging him to get married. Why did his sister follow in their footsteps?

Are they on shift?

One is quiet, another one is coming!

"Eat, eat!"

The intention to change the subject was obvious.

Xiao Qingru invited, "How about you come with us to Beijing?"

Xiao Huaishu hesitated for a moment, "Forget it, I'd better stay at home with my parents, otherwise the house will be so lonely."

"We don't want you to accompany us."

Both Mr. and Mrs. Xiao were smart people and had noticed that something was wrong with their son during this period of time.

Maybe during the time I was studying in Beijing, I discovered something they didn't know about.

If you don't add fuel to the fire now, when will you wait?

Xiao Huaishu sighed, "Am I that annoying? You guys don't want me to be at home."

"Young people should play with young people. You and Qingru go to Beijing, and your dad and I will have some quiet time. When you come back from Beijing, we can have some fun together."

If it weren't for the special nature of their father's work, which allowed him to go wherever he wanted, Xiao Qingru would have wanted to take them to Beijing together.

There is telepathy between husband and wife. Xu Muzhou suggested, "Mom, come with us to Beijing. I'll take you around when you're there."

Xiao's mother was somewhat tempted, but she couldn't bear to leave her husband alone at home, so she rejected the proposal.

"When I grow up, I just want to stay at home. I don't want to go anywhere."

Father Xiao had a resentful expression on his face. This kid really had no sympathy at all.

"You go back tomorrow and let Qingru stay at home with us."

Xu Muzhou: “…”

I never thought that things would turn out like this.

Facing his father-in-law's meaningful look, Xu Muzhou said, "Then bring my parents over to the northwest tomorrow. It will be more lively with more people."

Father Xiao gritted his teeth. This kid is really rude.

Without paying any attention to her husband, Xiao's mother was the first to agree with Xu Muzhou's opinion.

"It's not convenient for us to go over there. Thank you for your help in coming over here. We'll buy sleeper tickets for them so they can have an easier time on the road."

"That's what I think, but I'll tell you the exact situation later."

Xiao Huaishu ate his dumplings in silence and did not join in their conversation.

My heart is so tangled.

No, let's go to Beijing with my brother-in-law and the others, right?

Xiao Qingru gave him a long look.

As siblings who grew up together, she knows her brother very well.

This entanglement shows that he is moved.

Because of Xiao Huaishu's performance, Xiao Qingru's heart felt like being scratched by a cat. She wanted to see what kind of lesbian her future sister-in-law would be.

땣The reason why her brother behaved so abnormally must be that the comrade was very outstanding.

Without asking Xiao Huaishu what he thought, the couple had dinner and left her mother's home.

They still have to work for half a month and have to go to bed early at night.
