Chapter 110 Full of Energy

After putting the things away, Xiao Qingru and Xu Muzhou went out.

After looking around, Xiao Huaishu was not seen. "Mom, where is my brother?"

Xu's mother was setting the table, "He went to make a phone call and said he was going to let his family know he's safe. There's a phone booth at the entrance to the alley. He should be back soon."

Xiao Qingru originally planned to eat before making the phone call, but her parents-in-law had already prepared the meal, so the delay was not long.

Now that I have my work done, I feel a little relieved and don't have to worry about the phone call anymore.

Seeing her son holding two bags, Xu's mother couldn't help but ask, "What are these?"

"Mutton jerky."

Xu's mother asked, "Is it made by your mother-in-law? This thing is not easy to make, and there are probably not many young people who can make it."

Xu Muzhou hummed, "It took several days to make. You can add some when you eat steamed buns or noodles."

The jar containing the mutton jerky is transparent, so you can see the real ingredients inside. It is soaked in oil and looks very fragrant.

Xu Muzhou picked up another bag and said, "These are the clothes and shoes that Qingru bought for you from my dad."

The two elders often received gifts from their daughter-in-law, and they all felt her filial piety.

How much does it cost to buy so many things?

Xu's mother was happy but worried about the money.

"I'm letting you guys spend money. I, your dad, have everything I need. Don't prepare anything next time."

Knowing that her elders were frugal, Xiao Qingru agreed and did not dwell on the topic.

They will continue to do what they did before.

Xu Muzhou was not in Beijing, so he didn't have many opportunities to honor his elders, so spending money was just a side job.

After Xiao Huaishu came back from the phone call, Xu's father finally found a chance to talk.

"Hurry up and eat. We'll talk later."

"Yes, let's eat first."

The lunch was very sumptuous, with roast duck, fish, two vegetarian dishes, and meat as the main course.

This array of dishes is comparable to the New Year's Eve dinner, which is enough to show how much the Xu family values ​​Xiao Qingru.

When family members eat together, there are not so many rules. We just start eating as soon as we sit down.

Xiao Qingru sat between her husband and her mother-in-law. Mother Xu took good care of her and kept picking food for her.

After a while, a hill of food had formed in the bowl.

"This roast duck was just bought by your father. It's fresh out of the oven and smells delicious. Eat more."

"Mom, I can do it myself."

Mother Xu nodded repeatedly and gave her son a look, asking him to take good care of his daughter-in-law.

Then he went to entertain Xiao Huaishu, wishing he could put all the good things into Xiao Huaishu's bowl.

If it weren't for him acting as a matchmaker, how could his own bastard marry Qingru?

But I don't even have the chance to meet her, and I'm still single.

Every time Xiao Huaishu came to the Xu family, he was treated warmly. He knew that the Xu family was generous, so he came to celebrate the New Year with his sister and brother-in-law.

I was thinking that I should go to the mall to pick out a gift for my elders before leaving, as a way of repaying them for their hospitality during this period.

The roast ducks Xiao Qingru had eaten before were not freshly baked, but this time she thought it was delicious and couldn't help but eat two more pieces.

She eats a lot and makes everyone happy.

When eating, you have to eat quickly, otherwise you will have no appetite.

The Xu family hadn't been so lively for a long time. Although Father Xu was in a reserved mood, it was obvious that he was really happy.

Everyone took out the wine and asked Xu Muzhou and Xiao Huaishu to drink two glasses with them.

After dinner, Xu's mother sent them to bed.

"It's tiring to take the train. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve and we're still busy. You should have a good rest today."

Xiao Qingru wanted to help wash the dishes, but Xu's mother wouldn't let her. "Go inside and have a rest. I'll let your dad take care of these things."

Just eating and not working, isn't that treating yourself as a guest?

Xiao Qingru insisted on helping to wash the dishes, Xu Muzhou was in charge of cleaning, and the two elders, Xiao Huaishu, had no work to do.

Although being diligent is a good thing, it was a rare occasion for them to come back. Xu's mother was worried that others would misunderstand her as a wicked mother-in-law who tortured her daughter-in-law, so she also went to help.

After cleaning up, there is no work to do.

"Go and have some rest, get some more sleep, and I'll take care of you after dinner."

Xiao Huaishu was very familiar with the elders of the Xu family, so he didn't need anyone to entertain him. He went back to his room, made his bed and went to sleep.

During the two days on the train, Xu Muzhou hardly slept a wink, and Xiao Qingru felt really sorry for him.

"Mom, please try the clothes you brought back to see if they fit you. If they don't, we can find a tailor shop to have them altered."

"Okay, it's very cold, you guys go back to the house and rest."

When she returned to the room, Xiao Qingru discovered that Xu Muzhou's face was a little red, and when she touched it, it was still a little hot.

Compared to his usual self, he seems a little silly.

"You're not drunk, are you?"

"No."

He denied it quickly, and held Xiao Qingru tightly, not letting go. "Wife."

"Um?"

"Wife."

Not just any kind of sticky mess.

In this state, Xiao Qingru really doesn't believe that he is sober.

It's hard for him to keep the sanitation clean.

Patting Xu Muzhou's hand, "Let go quickly and go back to bed."

There was a kettle filled with hot water in the room. The man let her go and went to get some hot water for Xiao Qingru.

"Wash yourself first."

Xiao Qingru looked at him suspiciously. Is this man drunk or not?

How come you are so efficient?

I couldn't bear to torture him, so I washed up and changed my clothes. I felt refreshed.

When lying in bed, Xiao Qingru was still a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, there were familiar people around me, and the strange feeling of being a newcomer soon disappeared.

Xu Muzhou hugged Xiao Qingru and suddenly laughed.

"What are you doing?"

“It feels amazing.”

"What are you talking about? Are you really drunk?" Xiao Qingru raised her head and could only see his clear jawline.

"I have lived in this room alone since I was a child. Now I have another wife. Isn't it amazing?"

It's like, I suddenly grew up.

Xiao Qingru didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You really are slow to realize it."

The man just smiled, and as he smiled he began to kiss the person inside, "Why don't you give it a try, the feeling might be different."

"Shut up."

"Okay, then just do it."

Xiao Qingru: “!!!”

It's really a problem for men to be too energetic!
