After washing the baby bottles, Li Chu sat down on the sofa with his wife in his arms: "Sigh, my brother-in-law sometimes overthinks things, even when he talks to me like that."
"What can we do then? My brother-in-law can't just say it directly right away. He can only be tactful. No matter how good our relationship is, we're still family, and you're just his brother-in-law."
"I treat him like my own brother." After saying that, Li Chu buried his head in his wife's chest, took a deep breath, and looked up to ask, "Wife, why do you still smell like milk? Didn't you stop producing milk?"
Ding Qiunan rolled her eyes at him: "I can't smell my own body odor, how would I know if you ask me?"
"Hehe," Li Chu didn't dwell on the smell, and stood up with his wife in his arms: "We haven't taken a bath together for several days, let's go, honey."
Ding Qiunan wrapped one arm around his neck and patted his chest with the other: "We have to get up early tomorrow, so don't do anything silly."
"Don't worry, I can get up." After saying that, he carried her into the bathroom.
Li Chu was quite confident that he could wake up early in the morning.
Sure enough, I got up at five o'clock the next morning.
I first did the Five Animal Frolics exercise in the courtyard, then washed up and prepared to go out to buy breakfast.
Before he could even leave the house, Aunt Wang came and knocked on the door.
I took the lunchbox from the kitchen and called Xiaobai and Xiaohua. Now, Xiaohei basically doesn't go out with us in the morning anymore, as it's too busy looking after its two little owners.
Before I even reached the door, there was a knock.
"Xiao Chu, are you up yet?" Aunt Wang called out from outside, knocking on the door.
"Auntie's here." Li Chu heard Aunt Wang's voice and hurriedly went over to open the door.
"Auntie, why are you here so early? Where's my uncle?"
Aunt Wang was carrying a pot, which Li Chu quickly took from her: "Auntie, what are you carrying?"
"I bought tofu pudding and steamed buns for you and Qiu Nan. I couldn't stay at home, so I came over first."
As they walked into the living room, Aunt Wang asked, "Qiu Nan and the child haven't gotten up yet?"
Li Chu then remembered his wife's sleeping habits and state, and put the pot in his hand on the table: "She hasn't gotten up yet, Auntie, please sit down first, I'll go call Qiu Nan."
Fortunately, Aunt Wang did not go directly into the bedroom.
He went into the bedroom, closed the door behind him, and then quietly woke Ding Qiunan.
Ding Qiunan, still half asleep, said, "Li Chu, why did you wake me up so early?"
"Honey, Aunt Wang is here. She's sitting in the living room and has bought breakfast for us. Get up."
The First Evolution
Her husband's words instantly banished her sleepiness, and she frantically began searching for clothes.
Li Chu smiled and handed her the clothes he had just packed: "Take your time getting dressed. I'm going out now."
After leaving the bedroom, Li Chu first went to the kitchen and got three bowls and spoons.
I ladled a bowl for Aunt Wang and myself first. I've come so early, Aunt Wang probably hasn't eaten yet.
After getting dressed, Ding Qiunan came out of the bedroom: "Auntie, why did you come so early?"
Aunt Wang said with a smile, "I couldn't sleep. I didn't sleep well last night. I was so excited about Junzi's decision to settle down today that I couldn't sleep. The father and son are sleeping like logs, so I just came over first. Qiu Nan, hurry up and wash up and come eat, it'll get cold soon."
After dinner, the two children woke up. Before they could do anything, Aunt Wang went into the bedroom to dress the children.
Around 7 o'clock, He Yuzhu arrived with his kitchen helpers and started working.
My sister's family followed closely behind.
Uncle Wang arrived last, and Aunt Wang nagged him for ages. Wang Jun knew his mother was going to get upset, so he left without even getting out of the car.
Uncle Wang was already used to it. You can say whatever you want, and I'll accept any rebuttal as a loss.
While there was nothing else to do, Li Chu quietly told Uncle Wang about her brother-in-law's situation.
After hearing this, Uncle Wang didn't say anything, he just nodded to indicate that he understood.
That's fine. As long as Uncle Wang knows about this, then we can just wait for news. After telling Li Chu about his brother-in-law, he finally felt relieved.
Wang Jun went to pick up his girlfriend's family, and it was already past ten o'clock when he arrived.
Besides his parents-in-law, his girlfriend's uncles, aunts, uncles, grandmother, and three children all came over.
Another car came over there, otherwise I would have had to run twice to pick them up.
The arrival of so many people startled Aunt Wang, who hurriedly asked Li Chu if the food he had prepared was enough, and if not, to arrange for someone to deliver it immediately.
Fortunately, he had prepared enough things, otherwise he would have been in a real predicament.
After meeting them, I learned that Wang Jun's father-in-law knew Wang Ziwen and Li Qin.
His father-in-law is the post office director of another district, and the three of them have met occasionally when they attend meetings in the city.
However, when he met his in-laws, he was a little incoherent and didn't speak properly until the banquet started and they began drinking.
The meal was a pleasant one for both host and guests, and Wang Jun and Li Qiaoyun's relationship was finally settled. They would go to get their marriage certificate tomorrow while they were at work.
Li Chu and Ding Qiunan remained completely invisible throughout the day.
Ding Qiunan took good care of the two children, while Li Chu was responsible for being a good waiter.
Li Chu finally got some rest after seeing off the woman's parents and relatives in the afternoon.
I went over and let go of the two puppies that had been tied up all day.
Suddenly someone put their arm around his shoulder.
Li Chu turned around and saw Wang Jun.
"Brother, thank you for today," Wang Jun said with a smile.
The way he called him "brother" made Li Chu glance at him sideways.
"What nonsense are you talking about? When are you and Qiaoyun going back to the army?" Li Chu changed the subject and asked.
"We'll get our marriage certificate tomorrow morning and leave immediately."
"Have a child soon, Auntie really wants to hold her grandson."
Wang Jun chuckled and said, "Thanks to you, otherwise my mom would be writing to urge the three of us every day."
"Hey, do you think my future children will be as cute as your two kids?"
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Besides, what baby isn't adorable?"
When Li Chu said this, his eyes revealed a look of care for the intellectually disabled when he looked at Wang Jun.
Wang Jun realized that his question was indeed a bit silly, and awkwardly touched his nose.
The others in the courtyard also started laughing.
With the eldest son getting married, Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang felt a little more at ease.
Uncle Wang has been smiling more today.
After sending her family back home, Li Qiaoyun returned by car.
I ate at Li Chu's place again this afternoon. There were still a lot of ingredients left over from what I bought, and if we didn't eat them today, some of them would have to be thrown away.
The afternoon meal was prepared by Ding Qiunan, Li Qiaoyun, and Li Qin, three women.
It has to be said that almost all women in this era can cook. Whether the food tastes good or not is another matter, but if a woman can't cook or do needlework, she might have a hard time finding a husband.
