Zhou's mother was startled when she heard a voice from behind. "It's my sister-in-law. You scared me. Why haven't you come in and sit down yet?"
The aunt laughed and said, "It's too stuffy in there, I came out to get some fresh air. I just heard you guys chatting, is Qingyue really studying in a university in Tsinghua or Peking University?"
Zhou's mother snorted, "Of course it's true. Could it be that the professor from Peking University and Tsinghua University was specially invited to deceive you?"
The aunt smiled awkwardly, "Last time on the phone, didn't you say that Qingyue would be with Zhengting after the New Year and go to work in South Island? Why don't you continue to study at university?"
Mother Zhou smiled proudly, "Qingyue had good grades and graduated early after only two years of study. She started working at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences at the beginning of this year."
"Is this true? You're going to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, but you're willing to go to South Island? Why don't I believe it?"
"I can't help it if you don't believe me. It's windy here. You should go back and sit down."
"Look at you, you can't take a joke, and you still have the same temper as when you were young. I came here with good intentions to chat with you."
Seeing the two of them talking back and forth, Jiang Qingyue, who was standing not far away, was also a little puzzled. She asked Zhou Zhengting in a low voice, "Why does your aunt seem to be always causing trouble for our mother?"
Zhou Zhengting smiled helplessly, "She is just like that, she is a bit of a chatterbox. When she was young, she didn't get along with my mom. The two of us would always quarrel when we were together. It was mainly because my aunt didn't receive two years of education and she felt that my mom looked down on her, so she kept trying to compete with my mom in other ways."
Jiang Qingyue suddenly realized and smiled helplessly, "No wonder, I saw that our mother didn't want to pay attention to her, but she refused to leave. Is she trying to find an excuse from me to piss off our mother?"
Zhou Zhengting chuckled and said, "I guess so, but she might have made a mistake this time. Our mom was not happy to tell her about us before, so she didn't know much either. She probably thought your academic qualifications were made up."
"But don't worry, our mother doesn't take her seriously at all. If our mother loses the upper hand later, we two will try to take sides."
Jiang Qingyue smiled helplessly and shook her head, and was about to go help her mother-in-law.
Then I saw Dean Jin and his group walking outside the door.
Seeing Dean Jin coming, Mr. Zhou and his mother quickly left their aunt behind and walked forward quickly, "Come in quickly, Dean Jin is a rare guest."
Dean Jin laughed and joked, "Mr. Zhou, I'm not here just for your sake. I'm Comrade Qingyue's guest today."
Mr. Zhou joked, "They are my daughter-in-law's guests, so they are our guests, the same, please come in."
After that, they exchanged some pleasantries before going in and taking their seats.
My aunt still didn't leave. She stood behind and listened for a while.
I heard that those people just now were really from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
He couldn't help but pull at the corner of Zhou's mother's clothes, "How did Qingyue find a job? Did she really go to the Agricultural Science Academy? Was it because of the second brother?"
Zhou's mother, who was always gentle and refined, suddenly turned her head and sneered at her after hearing this. "Bullshit, my daughter-in-law got in by her own ability. What do you think the Agricultural Science Academy is? Go find some connections and try to get your son in."
After saying that, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Zhou Zhengting and Jiang Qingyue were just about to step forward to take sides.
Just then, people from the third son of the Zhou family also arrived.
Among them was Zhou Huiqin, whom Jiang Qingyue was most familiar with.
Jiang Qingyue hurried forward and greeted him.
After Zhou Huiqin introduced her family members to the young couple, she took out a red envelope from her bag and said, "Although it's a little late, I still have to give you the red envelope."
Jiang Qingyue waved her hands quickly, "Sister Huiqin, forget about the red envelopes. We won't accept any from other guests."
Zhou Huiqin pulled her aside and said, "Other people are other people, we are all family, how can we be the same?"
After that, Zhou Huiqin threw the topic back to her aunt and said with a smile, "Aunt, are you right?"
The aunt smiled awkwardly and said, "That's right, but I was in a hurry today and forgot to bring it. I'll make it up next time."
Zhou Huiqin curled her lips and smiled, "Qingyue, did you hear that? Auntie has promised to give you a red envelope, so you must not be embarrassed to refuse it, otherwise you will be disrespecting Auntie."
Seeing her winking at him, Jiang Qingyue understood that she was helping him.
I couldn't help but smile gratefully, and then accepted the red envelope, "Thank you, Sister Huiqin."
The rest of the people in the third room also stuffed red envelopes.
Seeing that the expression on my aunt's face flickered, she was about to slip away quietly.
Suddenly, Zhou Huiqin called out to him, "Aunt, the banquet hasn't started yet, don't leave in such a hurry."
The aunt turned around and smiled, "I was afraid my grandson would look for me."
"It's okay, don't worry, my brother and sister-in-law are still watching inside."
Seeing that her retreat was blocked, the aunt-in-law had no choice but to stay.
Seeing this, Zhou Huiqin immediately pulled Jiang Qingyue towards her family and said with a smile, "Mom and Dad, let me introduce you to--"
When the old couple in the third room heard this, they couldn't help but smile with confusion, "Didn't we introduce you just now? You are Zheng Ting's wife. We recognize you."
Zhou Huiqin smiled meaningfully, "I just introduced her as Zheng Ting's wife. What I want to say is that she will also be the first outstanding scientist in our Zhou family in the future, so I have to introduce her well!"
After saying that, Zhou Huiqin talked about the previous exchange meeting with Country M.
And the achievements Jiang Qingyue made while working at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
He listed them one by one, "Anyway, Qingyue is now the treasure of our Zhou family. If anyone dares to bully her in the future, I will be the first to disagree. I'm saying this in advance today, so as not to embarrass our family in the future."
After saying this, Zhou Huiqin looked meaningfully in the direction of her aunt and uncle.
The uncle nodded with a smile, "Huiqin is right. Qingyue has entered our Zhou family now. We love and care for her. How could we possibly bully her? Don't you agree, old lady?"
Now that things have come to this, it’s not easy for my aunt-in-law to say anything more.
I could only smile and nod, "Misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding, I was just joking with them."
"I think I heard my eldest grandson calling me. I have to go in quickly. You don't know, my grandson is very friendly to me now. He can't live without me for a while. He has grown a lot this year. It's really fun. I will show him to you later."
When everyone saw that she was deliberately changing the subject and wanted to leave, they just smiled and didn't stop her.
Only Zhou Huiqin seemed particularly uncomfortable, curling her lips and saying, "Hey, let's have dinner later, I guess the aunt will show off her precious grandson the whole time!"
The guests have arrived one after another, and it is time to start the meal.
Zhou Zhengting asked the waiter to start serving the dishes.
Zhou's father also stood up and prepared to speak.
For this moment, he even wrote a short draft in advance.
After just two words, the boy next to my aunt suddenly stood up and tried to grab the food on the table.
The aunt quickly stopped him and said, "My dear grandson, eat after the banquet starts."
After hearing that, the boy started crying and throwing a tantrum.
Seeing the awkward situation, An An suddenly jumped down from her seat and walked towards him with her short legs...
