Night falls and the stars and the moon hang high in the sky.
Shen Qingli lay lazily on the bed translating an article, while a pair of big hands kneaded and massaged her waist and back vigorously.
"Wife, I feel a sense of crisis." Meng Xiao's muffled voice came from behind his ear.
Shen Qingli didn't even raise his head: "What's wrong?"
"You're so talented, you know everything and have everything. I originally wanted to support you, but now I suddenly feel that you might not be interested in my salary."
For the first time, Meng Xiao felt that he was poor. In the eyes of others, he earned a high salary of 100 to 80 yuan a month, but his wife could earn more than him by simply translating a few articles.
How can he raise his little girl?!
"Then I'll support you from now on!"
Under the light, Shen Qingli turned around and looked at him with a beautiful smile.
Meng Xiao saw his own reflection in her dark eyes: "Okay."
My heart is sweet~
………
Because she had to go back home, Shen Qingli did not sleep in. When Meng Xiao came back from his morning run at 6:30, she had already washed up and took two glasses of spiritual spring water and handed one to Meng Xiao.
After the family finished breakfast, Ye Qiu called them over and put a lot of things in the car, including meat, eggs, rice, noodles, and gifts. "I've prepared all the return gifts for you. Since you bought them yesterday, take them all with you."
"Thank you, Mom."
"You kid, you're still so polite to your mother, go now."
Ye Qiu waved her hands. She didn't feel uncomfortable about the large amount of gifts she received when returning home. She was not the evil mother-in-law next door who wanted to search every pocket of her daughter-in-law's when she went back to her parents' home to make sure she couldn't bring even a grain of rice.
Look, whatever you think of will come true!
Shen Qingli and Meng Xiao had just driven away when Gao Caixia, who lived next door, leaned out from behind the door and said, "Ye Qiu, are you having trouble making ends meet? Your daughter-in-law's car is already full when she visits her parents' home. Are you planning to empty out her in-laws' house?"
Ye Qiu smiled perfunctorily: "If you don't love your daughter-in-law, who will take care of me in my old age? Besides, what's the point of these little things? I raised a daughter to such a age and now she's married into our family."
"You can't be so wasteful, Ye Qiu. How much dowry did your daughter-in-law give you? Did you give her a lot of betrothal gifts?"
This guy is so annoying. Every word he says makes Ye Qiu more annoyed than the last.
"She keeps the betrothal gifts and dowry for herself. It's all their money! I don't care about that, and I don't want hers. Wouldn't it be shameful for me, in my forties, to covet my daughter-in-law's dowry? I still have some dignity."
Gao Caixia heard that Ye Qiu was talking about her, she responded awkwardly and said nothing more.
She couldn't afford to offend Ye Qiu, nor could she afford to offend the Meng family. She went back to her room, closed the door, and began to curse at her daughter-in-law.
Ye Qiu listened to the noise coming from next door and cursed Gao Caixia inwardly for being a bully who only cared about the weak and the strong.
…
"Mom! Dad!" Shen Qingli couldn't wait to open the car door for Meng Xiao and got out of the car, rushing into Shen's mother's arms like a swallow into the forest.
Gigi Lai watched as her husband and son-in-law had gone back and forth three times but still hadn't finished taking out all the things. She gently patted her daughter's hand and said, "Why bring so many things? We don't lack anything at home. After getting married, you still have to put your in-laws first, understand?"
"No, I'm still your daughter after we get married. What's wrong with taking some things? Besides, half of them were prepared by my mother-in-law. Isn't that right, Meng Xiao?" Shen Qingli pulled Meng Xiao to testify for her.
"Yes, Mom, it's not much. It's just a small token of my appreciation." Meng Xiao spoke to his mother-in-law.
"Mom, come here quickly and see what I brought you!" Shen Qingli pulled his mother to a pile of things.
“I also bought this double-sided embroidered shawl scarf for my mother-in-law. Do you like it? Try it on.” Mother Shen works in a textile factory. She certainly knows how precious double-sided embroidery is and how good this pure wool scarf in her hand is.
"Where did you buy it? It's so beautiful. It must be expensive, right?" Shen Qingli said the explanation he had already prepared: "I have a classmate whose family runs a business. This scarf came from overseas, and there are only a few of them. He sold them all to me."
Mother Shen didn’t suspect anything.
Shen Qingli then picked up another handbag: "The skin care products in here are what I use now. I made them myself. I'll get more for you when you're done."
"This is a thermos for Dad, you, and Grandpa and Grandma. It's a hot item my classmate sold me. You can keep hot water in it all day long."
"And this, this is the pen Meng Xiao bought for you and Dad. You guys write every day at work, so I'll give you a nice pen."
"This is a woolen sweater for grandpa and grandma. It's very warm."
Father and Mother Shen looked at their chattering daughter with satisfaction, their eyes full of tenderness.
My daughter has grown up.
Seeing that Shen Qingli finally stopped talking, Shen Ping came back to his senses and said, "The return banquet is held in the restaurant in front. Let's go there quickly. The relatives should be there soon."
Meng Xiao nodded: "Let's go, let's host a banquet, don't keep them waiting."
………
Before leaving, Shen Qingli gave his mother the address of the family compound: "Mom, if you miss me, please write to me. When you and Dad are free during the holidays, please come to see me. I will also come back to see you when I am free."
Gigi Lai put the note away and said, "Mom and Dad know. Qingqing, marriage is different than being at home. Don't be willful. If you have anything to discuss with Meng Xiao, talk it over. Don't argue. Be careful on the road when you go back."
"Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will take good care of Qingqing! We will live a good life." Meng Xiao assured his father-in-law and mother-in-law while standing by the car.
"Good boy, Dad believes you will live a good life. Go back quickly and drive slowly." Father Shen patted Meng Xiao's shoulder.
"Goodbye, Mom and Dad! Take care of yourselves!"
Father and Mother Shen waved their hands.
The car drove away slowly.
