He Xianqiu, who was in the room, was stunned when she heard the woman's voice.
This was a familiar voice to He Xianqiu, it was her mother's voice, even more similar to the voice on the phone, and exactly the same as the voice of her mother in her original world.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a little nervous about her hometown, a little afraid to face it, but also a little expectant.
But she knew that there was more to it than that.
After a while, the middle-aged woman walked in. When He Xianqiu saw her face, he stood up immediately, and his eyes turned slightly red.
She trotted over, hugged the middle-aged woman tightly, and buried her head in her shoulder.
The middle-aged woman, Ning Qinglan, looked a little nervous when her daughter hugged her. She wondered if she had been wronged when she went to the countryside, which was why she was like this.
Then Ning Qinglan patted He Xianqiu on the back to comfort her, with a worried tone in her voice.
"Qiuqiu, what happened? Did you get wronged in the countryside?"
He Xianqiu let go of her hand, then shook his head at Ning Qinglan and said, "No, I'm just happy to see you."
Ning Qinglan finally breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said, "I'm glad you're okay. Remember to tell your family if you've been wronged."
He Xianqiu nodded seriously: "Got it."
Then He Xianqiu poked his head out and looked towards the door, "Where's Dad?"
"Your father is still in a meeting in the army and will be back soon." Ning Qinglan said.
He Xianqiu was a little disappointed, but still nodded and said, "Is that so."
Afterwards, the two returned to the living room and chatted for a while. He Xianqiu told her about what happened in the countryside, the scenery she saw, and so on.
Ning Qinglan was very relieved when she heard this. Although life in the countryside was hard, fortunately her daughter learned something there.
However, Ning Qinglan thought that He Xianqiu had brought a partner back, but why didn't she see him?
"Where is Xiao Ji? Why can't I see him?" Ning Qinglan asked puzzledly.
He Xianqiu pointed in the direction of the kitchen: "Cooking with grandma in the kitchen."
Ning Qinglan was a little surprised to hear the other party cooking in the kitchen. Most men are unwilling to do housework or cook.
Ning Qinglan was a little surprised that this young man could cook.
But my initial impression of him is that he is a very good young man, but it remains to be seen.
She didn't object to He Xianqiu marrying the person he liked, but this person had to truly love her and be willing to pay for her.
As parents, we are always worried that our children will suffer or get hurt, so we have to keep a close eye on them.
After a while, Ji Chenzhou and Grandma He cooked the dishes. Grandma He came out of the kitchen and asked He Xianqiu to serve the dishes.
He Xianqiu immediately stood up to serve the dishes. After Ji Chenzhou brought out a dish, he saw Ning Qinglan.
When Ji Chenzhou saw this middle-aged woman who looked 50% similar to He Xianqiu, he guessed in his heart that this was He Xianqiu's mother.
So after he put down the food, he greeted Ning Qinglan nervously.
"Hello, Auntie."
Ning Qinglan smiled and nodded, her tone was very gentle and polite, "Hello, Xiaoji."
Then he looked at Ji Chenzhou calmly. He was tall, had good looks and temperament, and he could cook, so he was somewhat satisfied.
Not long after, there was a noise coming from the living room, and He Xianqiu looked up.
Ning Qinglan said at this time: "It should be your father who is back. Qiuqiu, go to the living room and ask your grandfather and father to come over for dinner."
Upon hearing this, He Xianqiu nodded and went to the living room.
When He Xianqiu went over, He's father and He's grandfather were drinking tea.
He Xianqiu saw He's face when his father looked up.
This was a familiar face to her, and it looked exactly like her father in her original world.
However, He Xianqiu's father in the original world is a self-made entrepreneur, while this father is a soldier.
He Xianqiu was a little excited when he looked at the familiar face, but he still spoke calmly.
"Grandpa, Dad, it's time to eat."
He's father, also known as He Zhengqi, immediately raised his head when he heard the voice. His originally icy face softened immediately when he saw He Xianqiu.
“I’m back.”
He Xianqiu smiled and nodded: "I'm back."
Then He Xianqiu turned around and called Grandpa He who was watching on the side.
"Grandpa, it's time to eat."
Grandpa He nodded happily: "Okay, let's go eat together."
Then the three of them went to the restaurant together.
In the restaurant, Ji Chenzhou was very nervous at the moment, and he didn't know whether He Xianqiu's father would have a good impression of him.
But although he was extremely nervous, his expression remained calm.
After a while, He Xianqiu came in with Grandpa He and Dad He.
Ji Chenzhou raised his head and looked at He Zhengqi. The other person's eyes were sharp and serious, and he was looking at him.
Ji Chenzhou went up to greet him: "Hello Uncle He, my name is Ji Chenzhou."
"Hello." He Zhengqi nodded, his tone neither cold nor indifferent.
Afterwards, all the dishes were served and everyone started eating.
The He family is quite casual and they don’t have the habit of not talking while eating or sleeping, so everyone will talk at the dinner table.
Ning Qinglan always knows how to adjust the atmosphere, so she smiled and said to Ji Chenzhou: "Xiao Ji, the crispy pork made by grandma is delicious, you try it, Qiuqiu loves it."
He Xianqiu echoed: "Yes, I really like the crispy pork made by grandma."
Grandma He also looked at Ji Chenzhou and said, "Chenzhou, try it now. If you think it tastes good, I'll make it for you next time."
Seeing his elders so enthusiastic, Ji Chenzhou smiled, nodded and said yes.
Then he picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and started eating. Looking at Grandma He's expectant eyes, he said with a smile.
"Grandma made this. The crispy pork is delicious. No wonder Qiuqiu likes it."
Ji Chenzhou was telling the truth. The crispy pork made by Grandma He had a crispy skin and tender meat inside, and tasted very fresh and fragrant.
Grandma He was very happy when she heard this: "Really? Many people say that the crispy pork I make is delicious. If you like it, eat more."
Ji Chenzhou nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you grandma."
The dinner table was lively and everyone was in a good mood.
At least Grandma He and Ning Qinglan were in a good mood. They both liked Ji Chenzhou and thought that the food he cooked was delicious and he was a polite person.
After finishing the meal, everyone went to sit in the living room.
Ji Chenzhou took out the gifts he brought for the He family. These were the gifts he had carefully selected.
Afterwards, seeing that everyone was in a good mood, He Xianqiu mentioned the matter of marriage.
"Grandpa, grandma, mom and dad, what do you think about us getting married?"
When Ji Chenzhou heard this, he immediately sat up straight and listened to everyone's answers.
Before anyone else could speak, He Zhengqi spoke first.
He looked at Ji Chenzhou and asked, "Boy, you want to marry my daughter? Can you promise that you will never let her suffer and protect her for the rest of her life?"
His eyes were sharp and oppressive, but Ji Chenzhou remained unafraid and spoke calmly.
"Uncle, I am very sure and certain, and I promise that Qiuqiu will not suffer in this life. I will give her the best of everything I have, and I will try my best to give her the best life. I will give her everything I can..."
Everyone was satisfied with his answer.
Grandma He also asked: "Qiuqiu has never learned to cook. If you are the one who cooks in the future, would you be willing?"
Ji Chenzhou answered seriously: "Yes, I study cooking because I hope Qiuqiu can eat well, and I like cooking very much..."
When He Zhengqi heard this, although he was not happy that his daughter got married so early, he softened his tone and said, "I hope you can do what you promised."
When Ji Chenzhou heard this, he knew that this was an agreement. He smiled and said, "I will. I will prove it with my actions..."
After this conversation, Ji Chenzhou was recognized by the He family and everyone was very satisfied with him.
After that, they began to discuss the wedding. Grandma He and Ning Qinglan considered letting the two of them get married directly in Kyoto.
But later I thought about it, the holiday is only a dozen days long and it’s almost the Chinese New Year, it’s really too rushed and it’s too late to prepare now.
In the end, it was decided to let them return to Qinggang Brigade to hold the wedding, but when they thought of this, the He family couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
He Xianqiu felt that it could be held anywhere, but it was inevitable that he would feel a little regretful, after all, since it was held in Qinggang Brigade, his family members could not come.
But she also knew that it would be best to hold the event in Qinggang Brigade, after all, there was plenty of time.
Ji Chenzhou also knew that she regretted getting married without her family around, so he held her hand and said.
"We will hold another wedding later, and then grandparents, uncles and aunts will be here."
After hearing what he said, He Xianqiu smiled and said, "Okay."
Then he winked at Ji Chenzhou and said, "Then you can remember what you said."
Ji Chenzhou nodded, looked at He Xianqiu seriously and said, "Of course."
Then He Xianqiu immediately gave Ji Chenzhou a big hug, which made Ji Chenzhou very happy.
In the next few days, He Xianqiu took Ji Chenzhou to various places in Kyoto.
He Xianqiu would take him to eat authentic roast duck, visit various tourist attractions, eat various snacks, and even take him to drink soy milk as a prank.
Seeing him look painful and wrinkled after drinking it, He Xianqiu laughed.
Afterwards, He Xianqiu asked him, what do you think of soy milk, I will take you to drink it next time, let’s do it tomorrow, she likes to drink it.
Ji Chenzhou immediately shook his head, almost shaking it like a rattle, and then said with a painful look on his face: "Qiuqiu, I can't bear this anymore."
Ji Chenzhou couldn't describe the taste of soy milk. He could only say that it was a very strange taste.
Some people will like it, some may not like it, and some may even not be able to stand it. He is one of those people who can't stand soy milk.
The taste is so weird that I can't get used to it no matter how many times I drink it.
When He Xianqiu saw how vivid his expression was, she decided not to tease him anymore. She felt that he looked so miserable and pitiful.
"Don't worry, I won't bring you here next time."
When Ji Chenzhou heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Afterwards, He Xianqiu took Ji Chenzhou to visit all the interesting places in Kyoto, and during this time, Ji Chenzhou got along better and better with the He family.
Grandma He and Ning Qinglan both like him very much. Grandma He likes to study cooking with him, Ning Qinglan will discuss books with him, and Grandpa He also likes him very much, probably because Ji Chenzhou will play chess with him.
After all, Grandpa He is a typical guy who is both bad at chess and loves to play. The old men in the compound are unwilling to play chess with him, so when he finally finds someone who can play chess with him, he will try his best to catch Ji Chenzhou.
Ji Chenzhou would not feel dissatisfied. Instead, he was extremely diligent. When Grandpa He asked him to play chess, he would immediately go over to play chess with the old man.
Just like that, Grandpa He began to like him.
He Xianqiu also gradually adapted to it. After all, the parents in this world looked exactly like the parents in her world.
So she became more and more comfortable in the capital, no longer feeling strange, and she even acted like a spoiled child to Grandma He and Ning Qinglan.
She truly integrated into this era and this family.
