Chapter 34 Family Situation
"When will you be back?"
"I've finished my work this morning and it's already this late."
Xiao Qingru's almond-shaped eyes slightly curved, "Are you here to look for my brother again this time?"
Xu Muzhou chuckled, "I'm here to see you, Comrade Xiao, can I have a meal at your home?"
Before leaving on the mission, Xu Muzhou sent two fish to his home. Xiao's mother said at that time that she would cook for him when he came back.
Xiao Qingru only then realized that this man was really calculating every step.
He thought ahead and had already planned to go to her house for dinner after the mission was over.
With a fake cough, "If you hadn't told me in advance, my mother probably wouldn't have prepared dinner for you."
"Well, I called home at noon."
Xu Muzhou said the word "home" so naturally that Xiao Qingru didn't know if it was because of her attitude that she detected a hint of intimacy in his words.
"If you don't want me to go, I'll go to the communications room and call my aunt and tell her I have something else to do."
Xiao Qingru rolled her eyes and said, "Xu Muzhou, you are such a pretentious man."
After saying that, he walked quickly towards home.
Xu Muzhou chased after him, "I just forgot to say, Qingru, I missed you a lot these days, and the purpose of eating here is to see you."
A blush flew up to Xiao Qingru's face. She didn't dare to look into Xu Muzhou's eyes. She lowered her head and quickened her pace.
A happy laugh spilled from the corners of his mouth, and it seemed that the girl he liked had begun to treat him differently.
Xu Muzhou rubbed his fingers. It is true that people should be more honest.
If he had been coy and hadn't told Qingru his true thoughts, the progress between them would not have been so fast.
He followed Xiao Qingru not too far away and went home with her.
This move was like a signal, and everyone tacitly agreed that the two were dating.
One foot saw the Jiang family's joke, and the next foot saw Xu Muzhou following Xiao Qingru home. The contrast between the two families was so strong that it made people sigh.
"Xiao Xu, please sit down. You must have been tired on this mission. I made a pot of mutton soup. You can eat more tonight."
"Aunt, I'm sorry for the expense."
"Qingru's father loves to eat this. When he heard you were coming, he asked me to cook it for you. We are family, so there is no need to be so polite."
After saying that, she quickly added, "You and Huaishu are good friends. In my aunt's eyes, you are half my son, no different from my own family."
This is what it means to be guilty of something, Xiao Qingru took the money and went upstairs helplessly.
The more the mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she became.
She personally poured Xu Muzhou a glass of water and said, "Please sit down first. I'll go and steam the steamed buns. You can eat them soon."
"I'll help you."
Xiao's mother wanted to refuse at first, but then she thought that she had to do some research for her daughter in advance.
If Xiao Xu is lazy and doesn't know the difference between grains, then he needs to be taught a lesson. We can't let the lady cook for him all the time, can we?
If he can't learn it in practice, then look at his attitude to see if he is incapable or just deliberately being lazy.
If it was the latter, no matter how outstanding the man was or how successful his career was, she would not agree to marry her daughter to him.
"Okay, then you can help your aunt."
"Um."
I put the clothes on the sofa, washed my hands, and went into the kitchen to help.
Xiao Qingru's room was located at the upper corner of the kitchen. When the window was open, she could hear voices from the kitchen.
"Xiao Xu, I didn't know you can cook. I never knew you're quite skilled."
"My parents worked in a factory and rarely came home for lunch. I could cook for myself when I was five years old."
"I heard that the people working in the factory all live in those tube-shaped buildings?"
"Not necessarily. I live in a courtyard."
"Do you have any brothers or sisters?"
"I am an only child. My mother had a difficult birth when I was born, and she never had any more children."
"That's really hardship. You must be filial to your parents in the future."
Xiao Qingru's mouth twitched. What do you mean by "you guys"?
The conversation downstairs was still going on, and Xiao's mother had almost found out everything about the Xu family.
Xiao Qingru, who was standing by the window, heard everything clearly.
She knew that she had developed a crush on Xu Muzhou.
It's a shame to say that she's not as loyal as I thought.
