Chapter 124 Returning to the Family Courtyard

Before leaving Beijing, Xiao Qingru called home.

So when they arrived at the appointed time, Xiao Huaishu came to the train station to pick them up.

Seeing them carrying so many things, everyone wondered if the couple had emptied the in-laws' family.

While helping to load the things into the car, he muttered, "There are so many things. If I knew, I would have thought you went home to stock up."

"My grandmother also brought you some pickles, so don't eat them."

Xiao Huaishu held the car door with one hand and pretended to knock his sister on the head with the other.

"Xiao Qingru, you are getting stronger now. How many times have you sung a different tune with 놖 during this period?"

Xiao Qingru opened the car door and got on the back seat, blinking, "Brother, you have a partner now, so it's okay to be so irritable."

Xiao Huaishu laughed dumbly, "You really know how to find a shield for yourself."

Reluctantly, he closed the car door and got into the driver's seat.

Xu Muzhou gave Xiao Qingru a thumbs up. It seemed that his brother-in-law was completely under control.

Xiao Qingru had been away from home for almost a month, and it was the first time that Xiao's mother had been separated from her daughter for such a long time.

I secretly rejoiced in my heart that luckily my daughter married far away, otherwise it would be really difficult to see her.

In order to welcome them home, Xiao's mother got up early in the morning and stewed mutton soup.

Wait until the people get home, then put the noodles in the pot and cook them and we can have dinner.

Maybe it was because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Xiao's mother was very anxious and would go to the door to take a look from time to time.

"What time is it? Why haven't you come back yet?"

Father Xiao shook his head helplessly, "Fortunately, Xu works here, otherwise you have to miss him every day."

"Xu's job is here, and they both became friends."

Father Xiao agreed with this statement, "Your son has found a partner who is far away? We are all right about this matter."

Speaking of her future daughter-in-law, Xiao's mother's mind was somewhat distracted.

"Do you think we should go to Beijing?"

"To do what?"

"When the elders meet, the nature of the matter is the same."

Father Xiao was silent for a moment, then asked firmly, "Are you afraid that your daughter-in-law will fly away?"

Don't mention it, these words really hit the nail on the head for Xiao's mother.

"They are now separated from each other, and there are many variables. We should go visit our future in-laws and let them know our family's attitude, so that they can have some peace of mind. A girl's youth is very precious, and we can always make them wait for Huaishu."

"We should meet, but I'm too anxious. Let's wait a little longer."

Marrying a daughter-in-law is a big deal, and Xiao's mother is impatient, so how can she wait?

I'm planning to go to Beijing in the spring.

There was movement at the door.

Xiao's mother immediately stood up and walked out, "They must be back."

Although Mr. Xiao appeared calm on the surface, he followed out honestly.

During this period of time, the daughter has been at home, and she always feels that the house is a little quiet.

Seeing what they brought back, Xiao's mother was also stunned. There were four bottles of pickles alone, as well as roast duck, snacks and other Beijing specialties.

The most outrageous thing is that they even brought back a live rooster.

In Xu's mother's words, it is impossible to raise too many cats. She wants to raise at least one so that she can eat as much meat as she wants whenever she wants.

"My in-laws are in the city, it's easy for them to get some food, why did you bring all the food back?"

Xu Muzhou said: "If you tell me this, my parents might be sad."

Xiao's mother sighed, "How pitiful are the parents in the world."

Thinking of something, he pulled Xiao Qingru aside and asked her in a low voice, "Have you been to the hospital? What did the doctor say?"

"It's not a big problem. Just continue to take care of it."

Xiao's mother breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was anxious to hold her grandson, she was also anxious on behalf of the Xu family.

The daughter married a good man. Xiao's mother wanted to see their future together, but they had disagreements over children and property.

In the minds of the older generation, a family is complete only when there are children.

"What are you two whispering about? Go home quickly."

Xiao's mother gave her husband a look of disapproval, then naturally took her daughter by the hand and went into the house.

Of the things they brought back from Beijing, Xiao Qingru and Xu Muzhou took half back to the tube-shaped building and left the other half in the Xiao family courtyard.

Roast duck is cooked food, it will become sour if you put it in any more.

While Xiao's mother was cooking noodles, she asked Xiao Huaishu to chop the roast duck and put it on a plate.

After Xu Muzhou and Xiao Qingru washed their faces, the food was ready.

The mutton soup poured over the noodles is fragrant and warm in the stomach, and all the fatigue in the body disappears completely.

Xiao's mother urged them to eat more, and in the end, Xiao Qingru was so full that she ate too much.

Xiao Qingru felt guilty when she thought about the fact that she had gained some weight due to overeating during the vacation.

Starting tomorrow, we have to increase the time for basic training.

The next second, Xu Muzhou gave her a piece of mutton and said, "Eat more to warm your body."

"I've been through a lot."

"Just eat one more piece, it's okay."

Xiao Qingru looked at Xu Muzhou resentfully, and she suddenly understood how she had gained weight.

We were all fooled by this guy!

Wanting to make her family laugh so that she would not be teased by them afterwards, Xiao Qingru picked up the chopsticks.

Xu Muzhou's eyes were full of smiles. His wife was too thin before. Under the premise of not affecting her work, it would be better for her to have some weight on her.

After dinner, Xiao Qingru and Xu Muzhou returned to the tube building.

"I cleaned the house yesterday. Go back and take a shower, have a good sleep, and come back for dinner when it's time."

Xiao Qingru was so amused that she asked jokingly, "After getting married, you still go back to your parents' home for dinner every day. Mom, are you afraid that others will gossip about you?"

"What are you afraid of? You didn't eat anyone else's food."

Mother Xiao pointed to the big rooster tied in the yard and said, "Let's stew it in the evening so we don't have to feed it."

"It's up to you."

Xiao's mother sent them to the gate of the courtyard and said, "You can come back around 3 p.m."

"Mom, thank you for your help." Xu Muzhou said.

Xiao's mother shook her head and said, "It's tiring to take a long train ride. Go back and have a rest."

Carrying the things, the two went to the tube building.

In the family compound, although Xiao Qingru and Xu Muzhou kept a low profile, wherever they appeared, they immediately became the focus of attention.

After a few minutes, everyone in the family compound knew that Xiao Qingru and Xu Muzhou had returned from visiting their relatives.

"She just met Xiao Qingru. She seems to be more mature. It seems that her in-laws treat her quite well."

"It's common to have enough food these days, but she can still gain weight. What did the Xu family use to treat her?"

"I must eat meat every now and then, and eat fine grains."

"Everyone in their family gets a salary, but the food they eat every day is weird. When you grow up, you can go to the black market to buy it."

"Xiao Qingru's parents-in-law seem to be straightforward people, so they probably won't do anything to harass her behind her back."

"Xu Muzhou loves her so much, how could his parents go against their son? After all, he is their only son."

"That makes sense. As long as men value it, their wives will be wronged."

Wherever there are people, there will be gossip.

Some people had previously speculated that Xiao Qingru might be severely criticized by her mother-in-law when she returned to Beijing this time.

Unexpectedly, she not only did not become haggard after returning, but her spirits were even better.

Many people said that Xiao Qingru was really lucky!
