Chapter 1224: False Politeness
"Well, there is no way, I have to go back. Have you bought all the things?"
"I asked someone to prepare them a long time ago, we can just carry them." Zhai Sheng patted Qiao Nan's back gently, coaxing her like a treasure. No matter whether she is a daughter-in-law or a wife, they are all treasures in his heart.
Everyone in the Zhai family went to the capital and did not stay in Pingcheng, but someone was still looking after the Zhai family's house in Pingcheng.
Before Zhai Sheng returned to Pingcheng, he made a phone call and asked the person who was in charge of the Zhai family's yard to prepare the New Year gifts as usual.
Everything was ready, and Qiao Nan had no excuse to delay. She could only sullenly hold Zhai Sheng's arm and, under Zhai Sheng's guidance, walked towards the Qiao family step by step.
When Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan appeared, many neighbors in the compound saw them and greeted the couple enthusiastically: "Hey, Nan Nan is back. Are you visiting your parents?"
"Nan Nan, are you back?"
"Nan Nan, it's rare for you to come back. If you have time, come to my house and I'll make you something delicious."
Now, besides Zhai Sheng, Qiao Nan is naturally the most outstanding child in this compound. Not only because Qiao Nan married such an outstanding person like Zhai Sheng, but more importantly, Qiao Nan's personal performance alone is enough to make her the "other people's child" in the mouths of all the adults in this compound.
Facing these familiar neighbors, Qiao Nan stood beside Zhai Sheng and responded with a shy smile.
Regarding Qiao Nan's performance, no one thought that Qiao Nan looked down on them, her old neighbors, after climbing up the social ladder. You know, in their impression, Qiao Nan has always been a girl who loves to laugh but doesn't talk much.
Otherwise, before Qiao Nan's high school entrance examination, people in the compound wouldn't have always thought that Qiao Zijin was smarter than Qiao Nan. It was just that Qiao Zijin was sweeter and more likable than Qiao Nan in front of others, which left a lot of good impressions on people. On the contrary, Qiao Nan, who didn't say much, followed Qiao Zijin silently like a background, and always did more than she said. When
Zhai Sheng brought Qiao Nan back to the Qiao family's small courtyard, the lively scene was no less than the grand occasion when the officials in ancient times returned to their hometowns.
Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan were still some distance away from the Qiao family's courtyard when the Qiao family heard the neighbors' congratulations. They knew that not only Qiao Nan had returned, but even a busy man like Zhai Sheng was accompanying Qiao Nan back to her parents' home.
Qiao Zijin felt very upset. She saw Qiao Nan's father-in-law on TV at the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve. In other words, as long as Qiao Nan was willing, she didn't have to watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV like her, but could go directly to the scene.
Chief Zhai's status was so high, and Zhai Sheng's was not much lower.
On such an important day as the first day of the New Year, Zhai Sheng was willing to accompany Qiao Nan back to the Qiao family to visit relatives. This was enough to show how much Zhai Sheng valued Qiao Nan.
She didn't understand what was so good about Qiao Nan that made Zhai Sheng pay so much for her. She always thought that even if Qiao Nan could really go back to the Qiao family, there would be no one to accompany her. How could a family like the Zhai family look down on in-laws like the Qiao family? As long as no one from
the Zhai family accompanied Qiao Nan back to the Qiao family, the Zhai family looked down on the Qiao family, which meant that they looked down on Qiao Nan and didn't give Qiao Nan face. Who knew that the facts would slap her in the face. Not only did someone from the Zhai family accompany Qiao Nan to visit relatives, but the person who came was Zhai Sheng himself. The
appearance of Zhai Sheng not only represented Zhai Sheng's feelings for Qiao Nan, but also represented the Zhai family's appreciation of Qiao Nan.
Otherwise, it would be easy for the elders of the Zhai family to find a reason to force Zhai Sheng to stay and deal with the high-ranking officials and wealthy families that the Zhai family had dealings with. Anyone who has a connection with the Zhai family has a higher status than the Qiao family.
Even so, today, Zhai Sheng still accompanied Qiao Nan to the Qiao family courtyard, which hit Qiao Zijin hard.
She was outstanding enough to marry into the Zhai family with an imperfect family background, and was recognized by her husband and everyone in her husband's family. Until now, Qiao Nan still has all the good things, which makes people jealous.
Qiao Zijin was so angry that her teeth bled. She was about to doubt that Qiao Nan was not her mother's daughter, but God's daughter.
How come none of the good things that Qiao Nan encountered fell on her head? She couldn't even keep Chen Jun.
The rare contact this year made Qiao Zijin understand how determined Chen Jun was to break up with her.
Thinking of Chen Jun, Qiao Zijin took a deep breath and swallowed the blood in her mouth. Without Chen Jun, she could find Li Jun or even the Red Army.
All the "armies" that Qiao Nan introduced to her would be no worse than Chen Jun. Without Chen Jun, there was nothing to be disappointed about. With Qiao Nan as her sister, she would definitely be able to live the life she had always expected!
When Qiao Nan walked to the gate of the Qiao family's courtyard, the first person to come out to greet her was not Qiao Dongliang, but Qiao Zijin, her sister. When Qiao Zijin saw Qiao Nan, she greeted her with a smile: "Nan Nan, you're back. Why didn't you call us in advance so that we could prepare. By the way, Happy New Year. I wish you better and better studies this year, and your three children are healthy, as smart as you, and as healthy as your brother-in-law."
Qiao Zijin's series of congratulations surprised Qiao Nan's jaw.
As sisters for two lifetimes, she has long been accustomed to Qiao Zijin's habit of not being able to spit out ivory from her dog's mouth. How could Qiao Nan not be surprised when she said every word she said today was human language?
"Nannan, are you back?" Qiao Dongliang, who was a step slower, also looked at Qiao Zijin strangely, thinking to himself, what is Zijin planning now. Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year, and Nannan finally came back. He hoped that Zijin would not go too far and drive Nannan away: "It snowed heavily in Pingcheng a few days ago, and now the snow hasn't melted completely. It's very cold. Let's go inside quickly. Is it snowing in the capital?"
"Yes." Qiao Nan nodded and went into the house.
Qiao Dongliang let his little daughter and son-in-law into the house while greeting the neighbors: "Okay, wait a minute, come to my house and sit down." The
one with the most conflicted mind and distorted expression was Ding Jiayi. Seeing the pile of expensive things in Zhai Sheng's hands, Ding Jiayi forced a smile: "Qiao Nan, you are so silly. It would be enough for you and Zhai Sheng to come back and sit down and see me and your dad. Why did you bring so many things? We are all family, there is no need to be so polite."
