751: I will always stand by your side
Yu Xiaoye heard that her mother-in-law had started to urge her to give birth, and she acted very calmly, because her mother had warned her before she came, saying that once she arrived in the capital, her in-laws would probably urge her to give birth.
Mom really has foresight!
It seems that all mothers-in-law in the world are the same, regardless of era, age, or educational level. They all want to hold their grandchildren as soon as possible. Yu Xiaoye can understand this feeling. She asked nervously:
"What did you say?"
"I said we shouldn't have children for now, let's wait a few years."
"So how did they react?"
"No reaction. Don't worry, they can't do anything to you. I just want you to be mentally prepared. If they dare to push too hard, I can just go to the academy and take over the position early. I'll take you away from home tomorrow and we'll move to the academy. Remember, I'll always stand by you!"
"Ha ha!"
Yu Xiaoye took the initiative to hug Zhou Ziheng and kissed him hard on the face:
"Brother Heng is so nice!"
"Brother Heng can do even better."
"puff--"
Yu Xiaoye laughed so hard that he was no longer able to push Zhou Ziheng away and could only let him do whatever he wanted.
After a long time, the two of them got dressed and went downstairs.
The aroma of fish is already wafting from the kitchen downstairs. Just by smelling it, you can tell that today's meal will be a sumptuous one.
Zhou Ziheng smiled bitterly. Sure enough, his daughter-in-law came and the fish and meat were on the table. Why didn’t he get this treatment when he came back before?
The two of them went downstairs. Yu Xiaoye ran briskly to the kitchen and saw Zhuang Huaijian peeling garlic while wearing glasses.
"mom!"
"Hey!" Zhuang Huaijian looked up at her lively and cheerful daughter-in-law, her eyes narrowed into a line with a smile, "You must be exhausted after sitting on the train for several days. Why don't you take a rest?"
Yu Xiaoye's face turned red:
"I'm not tired, Mom. I brought you some local specialties, including wood ear mushrooms, hazel mushrooms, and pine nuts."
"Really?" Zhuang Huaijian was very interested.
Yu Xiaoye went outside and opened her luggage bag, took out a few cloth bags from it, took them to the kitchen and opened them. There were three pounds of wild dried wood ear mushrooms, three pounds of dried wild hazel mushrooms, and two pounds of pine nuts.
In this era of underdeveloped transportation, these things are difficult to buy in the capital.
Even if you can buy it, the taste is not as good as the ones produced in Northeast China, so many educated youth would buy some to take with them when they returned to the city, and Yu Xiaoye was no exception.
Zhuang Huaijian liked these things very much, but she also felt a little distressed:
"Aren't you tired of carrying so many things?"
"I'm not tired. I can carry it."
"Xiao Ye, you are really careful. Hengzi has been in the Northeast for so many years and has never brought these back home."
Zhou Ziheng: “——” He was shot even when lying down.
Yu Xiaoye defended Zhou Ziheng:
"Mom, your son is a very busy man, with so many things to do every day. How can he care about such a small matter?"
Zhuang Huaijian smiled. Seeing that the young couple was still so loving, he felt sweet in his heart.
She asked Aunt Zhang to put these things away, and led Yu Xiaoye's hand out:
"Come, Xiaoye, I knitted a set of sweaters and trousers for you some time ago. I just finished it. Come and try it on."
Zhou Ziheng asked: "Mom, what about mine?"
"You? You have enough sweaters. You don't need to knit anymore."
“——”
Yu Xiaoye smiled at Zhou Ziheng and followed her mother-in-law to the room to try on sweaters.
When we got to the room, I gave the newly knitted clothes to Yu Xiaoye. It fit perfectly, a little bit loose, but acceptable.
Yu Xiaoye hugged her mother-in-law shamelessly and praised her sweetly:
"Mom, you are so nice! You are the best mother-in-law in the world!"
“Hahahahahaha——”
Zhuang Huaijian was coaxed into laughing by this sweet-talking daughter-in-law.
Zhuang Huaijian felt that when his son was not home, there were only three people at home and it was very lonely.
After my son came home, although there was one more person, it was still quiet.
But things were different as soon as the daughter-in-law came home. It felt like there were many more people in the house. It became much more lively and it felt like there were people everywhere.
Who wouldn’t like a daughter-in-law who can make the home lively and warm, and who is sweet-mouthed and can make people happy?
It is the daughter-in-law who makes this home lively and warm. Zhuang Huaijian likes this daughter-in-law very much, who is lively, cheerful, sweet-mouthed and can make people happy.
That is - it would be better if we had a few more children.
However, Zhuang Huaijian did not mention the matter of having children in front of his daughter-in-law, for fear that she would feel pressured.
It’s okay to talk about this kind of thing with your son, there’s no need to tell your daughter-in-law.
As someone's mother-in-law, you should have some self-awareness.
Therefore, Yu Xiaoye was always worried that her parents-in-law would bring up the issue of having children in front of her, but the old couple never mentioned it from beginning to end.
In the evening, when Zhou Jingru came home from get off work, Yu Xiaoye happily made tea for his father-in-law.
Whenever Zhou Jingru saw his daughter-in-law, he couldn't help but think of the girl's fierce behavior when they last met, and he always felt a little scared. Of course, he absolutely refused to admit that he had such a feeling.
When the meal started, Zhou Jingru, before he even started eating, looked at the young couple and asked seriously:
"How's it going? How's your discussion going? Do you want to go to the Military Engineering College?"
Just as Zhou Ziheng was about to speak, Yu Xiaoye spoke first:
"Dad, we must seize this rare opportunity. I know Brother Heng's strength. He is absolutely capable of this job. He will shine in this position in the future and make contributions to the country."
Zhou Jingru's eyes lit up, and he said to Zhou Ziheng:
"Look at your wife. She's so much younger than you and much more sensible than you. Look at her awareness and perspective."
Zhou Ziheng: “——” Then I’ll leave?
Yu Xiaoye smiled embarrassedly:
"Dad, don't say that about Brother Heng. I'm just talking nonsense. You and Brother Heng are the ones who really do the real work and do big things."
Zhou Ziheng turned to look at the person next to him: This little flatterer, how could
How can you say that?
Could it be that all the sweet words I said to him before were just flattery?
Zhou Jingru was very pleased to hear the compliments from his daughter-in-law. He had heard so many flattering words that he had become immune to them over time, but the compliments from his daughter-in-law were particularly fresh and enjoyable to him!
Zhou Jingru suppressed the corners of his mouth and nodded continuously:
"Well, Xiaoye, you have good vision. I will feel relieved if you can guide him in the future."
Yu Xiaoye said sweetly:
"He doesn't need my guidance at all. He has always taken you as his role model. He will definitely have a bright future."
"Hahahaha——" Zhou Jingru's defense was broken, and his icy face that he always had was suddenly full of wrinkles when he smiled.
Zhou Ziheng cast an eye-opening glance at the person next to him:
It would be a shame if he didn't tell crosstalk with such a fluent tongue.
Zhuang Huaijian rarely saw such a harmonious and lively atmosphere at the dinner table, so he started laughing too.
Zhou Jingru laughed and picked up his chopsticks:
"Come and eat, Xiaoye, eat more. You must have not eaten well on the way after being on the train for several days."
"Um."
It was a relaxing and enjoyable meal.
It was rare to have such a peaceful and warm atmosphere, and Zhou Ziheng also felt happy. His young wife was really a lubricant to adjust the family atmosphere.
After dinner, the young couple did not stay idle at home. They went out, planning to visit the Jia family and take a walk to digest their food.
The Jia family lives in an apartment building not far away.
When You Wenyue was still alive, there were only the old couple at home in the Jia family.
Of the two sons of the Jia family, one was sent to the countryside to work in the Great Northern Wilderness, and the other lived in the staff housing of the Construction Bureau. The only grandson had always been occupied by the old couple of the You family, so the old couple lived a lonely life.
