Xiao Zhou scratched his head, now he was really embarrassed.
If they had kept some of the leftover meat, they could have had another meal that night. Now...
"Oh, you two are such a help! We can cook something fresh for dinner now that we've finished the dishes. Otherwise, I would have had to worry about what to do with the leftovers, since no one in our family eats leftovers."
Of course, she was exaggerating; at least Xiao Yuheng was willing to eat leftovers.
However, her words did make the two young people feel less awkward. As for whether it was wasteful for them not to eat the leftovers, that was their business and had nothing to do with them.
The two women exchanged a glance and simultaneously took out money and tickets from their pockets. "Sister An'an, Auntie, this is a small token of our appreciation."
When Xiao's mother saw them take out money, she immediately glared at them and said, "What are you doing? You have to pay for a meal at our house? If word gets out, people will laugh their heads off."
As she spoke, she pushed the money back, saying, "Our family can afford to treat you to a meal. Giving us more money would be disrespecting us."
Since things had come to this point, the two had no choice but to take the money back, but Fu Xin had already figured out a better way to resolve the matter.
"Alright, since Auntie has said so, we'll take the money back. But after eating Auntie's food today, I've really had my eyes opened. Just thinking about not being able to eat such delicious food again makes my mouth... really craving it."
Fu Xin is cute, and she made a face that looked like she was craving something, which amused the Xiao family.
"Isn't that easy to solve? Auntie can just come over to our house if she wants to eat."
Xiao Erbao rubbed his full stomach, realizing he couldn't escape the fate of needing to digest his food soon.
"Oh? Erbao is welcoming his auntie over?"
"Of course you're welcome. Everyone who likes my mom has good taste. My sister and I love being friends with people who have good taste."
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter. Fu Xin couldn't help but hug the two children, "Oh my, Da Bao and Er Bao are so cute! Auntie didn't bring you two gifts today, but I'll make it up to you next time, okay?"
The two have received gifts since they were little. Unlike other children who get excited at the mention of a gift, they said, "Okay, Da Bao and Er Bao are waiting for Auntie to bring us gifts. But Auntie, please remember not to buy anything too expensive, or we'll feel embarrassed."
At first, they didn't realize that a gift could put pressure on someone, but after their mother's teachings, they kept this in mind.
"Sister An'an, you really know how to raise children."
Although Xiao Zhou and Fu Xin are not married, they've seen pigs run even if they haven't eaten pork, right? They also have children of similar age at home, but compared to the two children from the Xiao family, their children can only be called brats.
"You are so cute, Auntie wants to take you home."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Erbao, who had been obediently being hugged by her, immediately began to wriggle, "No, I don't want to leave Mom and Grandma."
Xiao Yuheng, who was cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen: ...This is really his good son!
Xiao Dabao rolled his eyes at his younger brother, "Are you stupid! This is a military family compound. Unless Mom, Dad, and Grandma agree, who can take someone out? What are you afraid of!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Erbao immediately looked at Xiao Dabao with starry eyes and exclaimed, "Sister, how are you so smart?"
"If I weren't smart, how could I be your older sister? You're still too green, kid. Stop thinking about food all the time and learn more from your older sister."
The Xiao family was nice, the food was delicious, and there was lots of fun. Fu Xin and Xiao Zhou didn't want to leave, but they still had to do their work, so they could only wave goodbye reluctantly.
Once they were in the car, Xiao Zhou finally spoke, "Are you still planning to go to the Xiao family's house to freeload?"
Although he really wanted to, doing it once could be considered unintentional, but doing it a second or third time would be truly shameless.
"Yes."
Fu Xin thought about the information she had received today and considered how to write this interview better.
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
"What's wrong with that? I'll just bring a gift next time I visit. Besides, don't you want to try your aunt's cooking again?"
Speaking of lunch, Xiao Zhou swallowed hard. How could he not want to eat it! He had never eaten anything so delicious in his life.
"And there's Da Bao and Er Bao, they're so cute, much more fun than the mischievous kids at home, don't you want to play with them anymore?"
Da Bao and Er Bao? They are indeed adorable, much cuter than his nephew.
"But we can't just show up at your door and freeload, can we?"
Fu Xin rolled her eyes. "I think you're a blockhead. What are we here for today? Let's go back and hurry up and write the article. We'll bring the newspaper over after it's published."
Regardless of whether Brother Zhou comes or not, she will definitely come again. Putting aside the food, the appearance of the Xiao family members is truly pleasing to the eye.
Wash your eyes occasionally, and life will be endlessly enjoyable.
After seeing the person off, Gu An'an devoted herself to the translation work. In a few months, the news about the college entrance examination would be released, and she would definitely have to take the exam.
Xiao Yuheng wanted to spend more time with his wife, but seeing how serious she was, he could only take out a book and read from the side.
There's no way around it; having married such an ambitious wife, he has to work even harder. Otherwise, if she leaves him behind one day, he'll be in deep trouble.
The two children wanted to find their parents, but when they entered the house, they found that both of them were engrossed in reading. Xiao Dabao quickly pulled his younger brother back inside.
"Sis, what are you doing?"
"Your parents are reading, don't disturb them."
Xiao Erbao was a little unhappy, "But I want to play with my mom."
Xiao Dabao took out the storybooks that Gu An'an had prepared for them, "What are you playing for? Hurry up and read some books."
Seeing his sister's uncompromising gaze, Xiao Erbao glanced at the other children playing outside and finally sat down next to her.
There's no way around it! If he dares not to read, his sister will tell on him, and then he'll get disciplined by his father again.
As Xiao's mother sat in the yard making clothes for her two children, she looked up at her grandson, who was being subdued by his granddaughter, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips. The image of her grandson and granddaughter getting into university popped into her mind.
Sure enough, you have to open your eyes when you marry a wife. If she hadn't married An'an, where would she have such an obedient grandson?
As expected, those who have been bribed are highly efficient. Fu Xin and Xiao Zhou returned to their workplace and immediately started working overtime. They wrote several versions of the manuscript and finally took the most satisfactory version to their leader.
In order to enjoy the delicious food and see the beautiful woman as soon as possible, she urged them in every way, and the publication date was finally a full week earlier than originally planned.
Carrying the published newspaper, Fu Xin and Xiao Liu set off for the family compound once again, and the soap factory became lively again.
They didn't know it was the first time it was in the newspaper, but this time they were involved in the whole process and had been looking forward to it for so many days, so you can't even describe how they felt.
"Oh my god! Xiao Zhou took such a good picture of me, my husband is going to be so jealous!"
