"Secretary, is your head alright? Did I scare you? My name is Yu Jiu."
Yu Jiu hesitated as she looked at Zhou Chunrong, who had a large bump on her head, and fell silent, a rare occurrence for her.
No way, is he dissatisfied with her? That can't be right, Xu Zijiang is his friend, not his son. He shouldn't be looking at her with the critical eyes of a father-in-law and mother-in-law, right?
"What are you doing, so reckless? You scared my little educated youth! And don't look too much! Just a couple of glances is enough, or I'll tell my sister-in-law when I get home!"
Xu Zijiang stood in front of Zhou Chunrong, displeased, signaling him not to look at his wife too much.
"Pah! What nonsense are you spouting! I am..."
"Can't I even be surprised?" Zhou Chunrong spat and pulled Xu Zijiang aside to whisper to him.
"Is this really Yu Jiu? How come she looks so different? I remember she didn't look like this before. When she came here before, she was dark yellow and had those little black spots on her face. How does this place raise people?"
Everyone says that a place is blessed with outstanding people and beautiful scenery, so does that all apply to Yu Jiu?
Zhou Chunrong was so shocked that she couldn't recover for a long time and almost talked nonsense. After all, the ordinary Yu Jiu before was not on the same level as the radiant person now. Her facial features were still the same, but her skin had become fair and flawless, like mutton fat jade. Just her fair skin alone could attract a lot of attention.
What's more, she has a pair of expressive eyes. Her misty almond-shaped eyes aren't seductive, but they have a captivating clarity. Yu Jiu looks so pure and alluring that most people can't resist her.
"I'm the one who takes good care of people."
Xu Zi raised his chin smugly, looking proud, and Zhou Chunrong wanted nothing more than to punch him.
"You little brat!"
"The young educated youth was already so pretty, but this wasn't her first time in a small village like ours. She was afraid of running into bad people, so she darkened her face before coming to hide her beauty. That's how she filtered out all of you shallow people!"
"I told you the young educated youth was very pretty, I was immediately attracted to her, and you still said I had no taste? Pshaw, what do you know?"
After basking in his pride, Xu Zi finally recounted the events in general terms, though his tone remained haughty. His deep eyes gleamed, and he glanced at Yu Jiu before flashing a roguish smile, as if he couldn't wait to rush up and kiss his wife, Xiangxiang, a few times.

Zhou Chunrong was too lazy to pay attention to his crazy narcissism. He simply extracted the information himself and thought, "Oh, so she's always been this beautiful." He was filled with respect. It was a skill to accept that he had become so ordinary. He never expected that this kid would actually find such a beautiful wife by accident, and that she would be so devoted to him. Sigh.
I have to admit, even Zhou Chunrong started to feel a little jealous, just a little!
"Stop chatting and hurry up and go to your place to cook. My wife will be hungry soon!"
Xu Zi urged impatiently, too lazy to whisper to him anymore. He walked towards Yu Jiu with a gentle smile and a warm demeanor.
"Have you been waiting long? Old people tend to talk too much, just ignore him."
Remaining wine: ......
Can you please stop talking badly about people in front of them? The Party Secretary could hear you! Didn't you see his face turn pale instantly?
"Come on over to my house for dinner. I'll let you try my wife's cooking. She's really good at it. I guarantee you'll want to come back for more after you've tried it once!"
Zhou Chunrong's lips twitched twice, but he decided to ignore Xu Zijiang, this rogue soldier, and greeted Yu Jiu warmly.
Yu Jiu nodded, a smile returning to her face, and said obediently.
"Okay, thank you, Secretary."
"Oh, don't be so polite. Just call me Brother Zhou, like Zijiang does. Once we're home, call me Sister-in-law. Come on, come on, she's been wanting to see you for a long time."
Zhou Chunrong was all smiles, and warmly led Yu Jiu to his home. His home wasn't far from the office; it was only a ten-minute walk across this road, making it incredibly convenient for him to get to work every day.
Wen Hongjuan was cooking at home. Since it was just the two of them eating, she didn't cook much. She simply stir-fried bitter melon and eggs, and made a lean pork and baby bok choy soup. The rice was sweet potato porridge. The dishes were simple, but they had a unique aroma that made people's mouths water.
"Hongjuan, open the door."
"Hey, here I am."
Hearing her husband knocking on the door, Wen Hongjuan hurriedly put down her bowl and went to open the door for him.
"Why are you back so quickly today? Dinner is still... Zijiang is here too. Perfect timing, sister-in-law is cooking. I'll go and cook another dish now. You can stay and have some with us."
She was pleasantly surprised to see Xu Zijiang arrive. But when the door was fully opened, revealing Yu Jiu's slender figure, her eyes widened instantly, and she stammered.
"This is..."
"My boyfriend, sister-in-law, didn't you want to meet him? Here he is, Yu Jiu, the new educated youth in our team, and also my boyfriend. We're getting married soon!"
Xu Zi proudly pressed down on Yu Jiu's shoulder and pushed her in front of Wen Hongjuan so she could take a closer look and see if she wasn't incredibly beautiful.
Wen Hongjuan gasped. My God, she's more than just pretty! What big city did this girl come from? She's just too... beautiful!
She hadn't read many books and didn't know how to describe Yu Jiu, whose skin was so fair it seemed to glow, whose features were delicate, and whose face was so small it was almost half the size of Xu Zijiang's. But she knew that this girl was absolutely the most beautiful girl she had ever seen!
"Hello, sister-in-law. I'm sorry to bother you by visiting without telling you."
Yu Jiu lowered her eyes shyly and said apologetically in a soft voice.
"No, no, don't bother me! Come in quickly, your sister-in-law has been wanting to see you for a long time. Don't be shy, make yourself at home."
Wen Hongjuan quickly grabbed Yu Jiu's hand and pulled her inside. Oh my, her little hand is so smooth and tender!
Wen Hongjuan was so amazed that she couldn't help but touch her skin a few more times. Even when she was a child, her skin had never been so tender. It's true that you have to look at pretty young girls!
Yu Jiu was somewhat puzzled. Why did both of them say they had wanted to see her for a long time? How long? She and Xu Zijiang had only known each other for a few days, and the time it took to confirm their feelings for each other was even shorter. How did the secretary and his wife know about her?
She was slightly puzzled, but it wasn't appropriate to ask right now, so she could only put the question aside and focus on answering Wen Hongjuan's questions. Actually, she didn't ask anything much, just about her family situation and the progress of her relationship with Xu Zijiang. When she learned that the two were getting married and wanted to ask Wen Hongjuan to choose an auspicious date, Zhou Chunrong slapped her thigh and said happily.
"Isn't this a coincidence! You saved a whole team, and we even thought of some rewards for you. Besides money and tickets, we also prepared pairs of big red basins, thermos flasks, and even wedding quilts for you. You'll definitely be able to buy them before your wedding!"
"Really? You finally did something good, you knew we were going to get married, didn't you? Well, that makes sense, we're so in love, it would be an injustice if we didn't get married!"
Xu Zi crossed his long legs, proudly raised his chin, and his joy seemed to soar to the heavens.
Yu Jiu felt both shy and embarrassed. Xu Zijiang, can you please tone it down a bit? You're so arrogant in front of your elders. You may not care about your reputation, but I do!
