Chapter 35 We Are All Family

Considering Xiao Qingru's mood, the two elders at the dinner table did not interrogate Xu Muzhou and just treated him as an ordinary guest.

"Xiao Xu, are you taking a holiday during the Chinese New Year?"

"Xiu, I have a month's vacation."

"Are you going back to Beijing? If not, you can come to my house to celebrate the New Year."

Although Xu Muzhou really wanted to celebrate the New Year with Xiao Qingru, the elders at home were still waiting for him to return.

He hasn't had a long vacation in years, and he hasn't been back to Beijing for a year. This time he has to go back to see his mother.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get to watch the New Year’s Gala. I heard that Xiao Qingru was going to perform a solo dance.

"I only go home once a year, so I must go back for the New Year. Auntie, thank you for your kindness."

"That's right. You're usually here, and your parents must miss you. You should go back to spend time with them during the Chinese New Year, and then come back to visit them after the Chinese New Year."

"must."

As parents, they would definitely be sad if their sons did not come home for the New Year in order to pursue lesbians.

Xiao's mother was even more satisfied with Xu Muzhou. Filial piety comes first among all virtues. If he doesn't even care about his own mother, they would not dare to hand their daughter to him.

With Jiangchuan's previous experience as a lesson, Xiao Xiao's mother became more cautious about her daughter's marriage.

Xiao Huaishu remained silent. If things continued like this, he would soon be promoted to the position of brother-in-law.

After dinner, Xu Muzhou was about to leave.

"Qingru, send Xiao Xu off."

"Let my brother go."

"I'm exhausted from training, and you still want to order me around when I get home."

Xiao Huaishu seemed to be glued to the chair, not moving at all.

Xu Muzhou looked understanding and said, "You said we are family, so we don't need to be polite. You don't need to send me off."

Xiao's mother didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Let's go, aunt will take you there."

I don’t know what the two talked about outside, and Xiao’s mother didn’t come back until a long time later.

Seeing that the girl had already washed the dishes, she began to complain about her son again.

"You and Qingru will take turns washing the dishes from now on. You are just too lazy, which is why you can't find a wife."

"Mom, I swept the floor."

"Men should be diligent and do all kinds of work, only then will they be liked."

Glancing at his mother who was sitting in the main seat, he said, "I haven't seen my dad doing housework either."

Xiao 꿵: “…”

This kid dares to control his head.

Is it itchy?

Xiao's mother smiled and said, "Your father used to do a lot of housework, but now he is just a hands-off boss because he is busy with work and you have grown up and can share the housework."

"Okay, then don't let Qingru wash the dishes from now on. Leave all the work to me. Just don't mention your daughter-in-law anymore."

Xiao's mother patted his head in annoyance and said, "Why do you think it's a life-threatening thing to ask you to find a wife? Look at your friends, they've almost all established their own families and careers, right?"

Xiao Huaishu wanted to say that Xu Muzhou hadn't yet, but when he thought about the current situation, it seemed that he would be there soon.

From his understanding of Xu Muzhou, as long as Qingru nodded to talk to him about dating, he would immediately put the marriage on the agenda.

"Mom, do you want to hug your grandson?"

"What do you think?"

"It's better to rely on Qing Rulai than on me."

Xiao Qingru immediately retorted, "Brother, it's not appropriate to divert the fire."

She is still young now, not so young.

Xiao Huaishu smiled and said, "What do you think of Xu Muzhou? He's not young anymore, the same age as me. How about I introduce him to you, so that mom can have a grandson next year."

Xiao Qingru: “…”

"Although he is a little older, he is only five years older than you. Just like our mother said, older people know how to care for others."

There was a teasing tone in his voice, as if it was a joke. Xiao Qingru was confused for a moment. Did her brother know about Xu Muzhou and her?

She said shyly, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did mom ever say such a thing? I only remember that she disliked you for talking too much and having a big mouth!"

He stroked his chin and said seriously, "Are you disgusted with Xu Muzhou? Then I'll think about it again and I'll definitely find you someone who's one in a million."

"It's a pity you don't become a matchmaker."

Xiao Huaishu laughed, "Speaking of which, I heard some gossip on my way home. I heard that Du Wanqiu's ex-mother-in-law wants to introduce you to someone?"

When these words came out, Xiao's mother was furious.

"Who does she think she is? She dares to interfere in our Qingru's affairs! Your father and I are still here, is there any need for her to introduce someone to us? How shameless!"

Xiao Qingru quickly pulled her mother's hand and said, "Don't let them make you sick. It's not worth it."

"That's right. The Jiang family should be more worried. Now that Jiang Chuan and Du Wanqiu are married, they are also related to the Zhang family."

"They deserve it." Xiao's mother scolded, "Marrying the wrong woman ruins the family. Just wait, their family's happiness is yet to come."

Xiao Qingru thought that those people did not take their children with them when they left, and it seemed that they took the money, otherwise they would not leave happily.

I don't know if I'm overthinking it, but Xiao Qingru always feels that as long as the child is still there, the Zhang family can always regret it and use it to deceive the Jiang family.

I don't know if they have signed any agreement or anything like that.

Xiao Qingru often listened to the radio and knew a lot of things. She knew that verbal promises were not reliable for many things.

This only restrains people with morals and bottom lines.

If you meet a shameless person, that would be really a headache.

"Mom, I have a performance next month. Can you go to the city with me sometime to buy some things?"

"Okay, I haven't been there for a long time."

Xiao Qingru's words successfully diverted Xiao's mother's attention.
