Chapter 174 Whose mom should I call?



Maybe it was because the decoration of the store was so cozy, or maybe it was because Xia Niannian's massage technique was too comfortable, she just couldn't get angry at all.

She originally disliked her daughter for not doing her job and running around all day.

Who would have thought that after going through the facial protection process, Xia's mother not only realized that her daughter was busy with serious work every day, but also that she was doing a good job and became the envied "Manager Xia" by others.

The monthly income is not small, more than double what I earned before working in a public institution.

Not only a basic salary, but also performance bonuses and even a year-end bonus—a big red envelope of 400 yuan! It was almost as much as the couple's combined quarterly salary.

Mother Xia was silent.

Xia Niannian got new water for her mother to wash her face, while her mother continued to lie in silence on the beauty bed on the second floor.

Just then, a man's excited voice came from downstairs, "Nian Nian, look what I brought you?"

The washbasin in the bathroom fell to the ground with a clang.

Xia Niannian's face turned pale instantly. She had just told her mother about her work experience and did not mention Zhang Yu at all.

What should I do? They didn’t come earlier or later, so how come they bump into each other?

Before she could think of a rescue plan, she saw a flash of lightning and Xia's mother had already rushed downstairs.

Zhang Yu didn't expect there were customers in the store, so he put down what he was fiddling with.

Those were the two most popular headbands recently. He went to the construction site to unload building materials and happened to see Zhou Zhiyong counting the samples that would be put on the shelves in the warehouse - a box of headbands, including one with a red background and white dots, and one with a white background and blue dots, both of which looked good.

He fell in love with it at first sight.

Zhou Zhiyong knew about his relationship with Su Xiaoli and Lu Sinian, and the two of them had been familiar with each other for a long time. Zhang Yu handed Lao Zhou a pack of cigarettes and asked him for two.

There are still quite a few in the box. When the genuine products are released in the future, the samples will still be unused.

Both headbands look good, and my wife can change them every day.

Zhang Yu thought very clearly.

After unloading the building materials, Zhang Yu didn't even go home. Instead, he went straight to the beauty salon wearing two hairbands.

Who knew there were still guests who hadn’t left?

"Niannian, there are guests." Zhang Yu glanced at the guest, who actually looked somewhat similar to Niannian, except that his eyes looked a little unfriendly...

Zhang Yu smiled at Xia's mother and said, "Enjoy your meal. I won't disturb you."

After saying that, he couldn't help but add another sentence proudly, "It's comfortable to ask my wife to do beauty treatments, right?"

Xia Niannian just happened to hear this at the stairs.

Xia Niannian:!!!

It's all over now.

I just made my mom feel better, why are you adding fuel to the fire?

"Is this guy the one who calls you every day?" Mother Xia raised her eyebrows.

Zhang Yu was startled: “……!!”

Ball finished!

This is... my mother-in-law? ! "Mom!" Zhang Yu and Xia Niannian spoke at the same time.

"Who are you calling mom?" Xia's mother was almost choked to death by the word "mom". She didn't know who to glare at.

Xia Niannian lowered her head and sighed, then looked up again, and the light of "female boss" began to flicker in her eyes.

"Mom, he is my boyfriend, and we have been together for a long time." Xia Niannian decisively took the hand of the stunned Zhang Yu.

"Mom, I'm her boyfriend, and we've been together for a long time." Zhang Yu was still in shock and repeated almost everything.

"Don't call me mom. I'm not your mom. Tell me what's going on?" Mother Xia looked at Zhang Yu.

Xia Niannian wanted to step forward and speak herself.

"You stay away! If he can't even explain this, what kind of man is he!" Xia's mother pushed Xia Niannian away.

Zhang Yu has come back to his senses now. Mother Xia is right. If he can't even explain this clearly, how can he come to ask for marriage in the future?

It’s better to do it today than to wait for a day. Today is the day.

Zhang Yu, whose soul had returned to his place, seemed to have changed his skin in an instant.

Su Jianguo's words and deeds when he was young, his experience of wandering around the world as an adult, the demeanor that the boy surnamed Gu showed when he was wandering in front of him, and his confidence now that his career is on the right track...

The most important thing is that Nian Nian is by his side now, and he cannot let her be misunderstood or wronged no matter what.

"Mom, please sit here and I will tell you slowly." Calming down, Zhang Yu tried to lead Xia's mother to sit down in the salon area.

Mother Xia was so angry that she rolled her eyes to the sky, "I told you not to call me mom!"

Zhang Yu was almost defeated by this yell, but fortunately Xia Niannian pushed Xia's mother to sit down, and she pulled a chair over and sat behind Xia's mother.

Zhang Yu spoke slowly.

It was also the first time that Xia Niannian saw that Zhang Yu actually had such a decent side to him, and the look in her eyes when she looked at him became even sweeter.

When Zhang Yu saw Xia Niannian's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little more joy as his "little wife".

Mother Xia listened to the whole story and ate the dog food till she was full.

I learned that this man had a formal job and drove a big truck with a few other people. It was considered a good job in those days. Unfortunately, it was a private big truck and was not as secure as a public one.

It seems that Nian Nian is okay.

He is just 6 years older than Nian Nian, which is a bit of a big age difference. But I heard that people know how to care for others when they are older. I don’t know if this kid can do that.

"Where are your family members?" Mother Xia did not let down her guard.

"I also have an older sister named Zhang Yun and a niece named Su Xiaoli."

Mother Xia was stunned when she heard this.

What this means is - there is only a sister, but no brother-in-law? If my precious daughter marries him, I am afraid it will be difficult to expect that the in-laws will be able to help the young couple from time to time in the future.

How can this make people feel at ease?

Zhang Yu saw the confusion in Xia's mother's eyes, "My brother-in-law is Su Jianguo, a former engineer at the Water Conservancy Bureau, who passed away a few years ago."

Su Jianguo's brother-in-law? Xia's mother knew Su Jianguo. They worked in the same water conservancy system, but Xia's mother was not in the county bureau. After the Zhule Reservoir was repaired, a hydropower station was built nearby, and she worked at the hydropower station.

After all this fuss, the relationship isn't that far-fetched.

Mother Xia breathed a sigh of relief, but her face still showed no approval.

"I still need to ask her father about you two." She turned to look at Xia Niannian, "Come home with me."

Xia Niannian pouted, put on her coat and was about to follow her mother out, "Niannian, wait a minute." Zhang Yu shouted.

Xia Niannian was stunned.

Zhang Yu smiled and handed over two headbands, "For you."

She wanted to be polite in front of her mother, but Xia Niannian couldn't help it. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, and the smile in her eyes couldn't be hidden.

"Well, why are there two?"

"Both are yours. They will look good on you."

Mother Xia was really fed up with the dog food that was forced into her mouth right in front of her, so she shouted, "Go home!"

Two days later, Zhang Yu received an official notice from the Xia family that Xia's father wanted to talk to him.

The place of conversation...

We made an appointment at the Zhule Reservoir where the weather was freezing cold.

The reason is simple. Father Xia, the deputy county magistrate Xia that Su Xiaoli knows, has no other hobbies besides work except fishing.
