Chapter 230 229. The Young Couple Meets Their Parents
Lei Li told Qing Zhi about the matter the next day.
The story of Lei Jingsheng going to Chu House is omitted, and it is only said that Qingzhi is a poor boy who lost both his parents and is struggling to survive. He has a very hard life.
Lei Jingsheng met him by accident and fell in love with him at first sight. They were both willing and fell in love. Then they secretly decided to spend their lives together, but they didn't dare to tell him because they were afraid that his parents would not agree.
"You kid..."
Liu Yeer glared at Lei Jingsheng, patted her hands and said, "Your father and I are not uncivilized people. What is there to be afraid of?"
"Qingzhi is my brother..."
He is not a man, let alone a man from an honest family in the traditional sense. If she brings him back, no one knows what gossip the villagers will spread about the Lei family, and Liu Ye'er and Lei Dashan will be criticized like her.
Of course Lei Jingsheng didn't dare to say it.
"What's wrong, brother?"
Liu Ye'er said, "As long as he's a good brother and doesn't have any bad intentions to harm others, even if he has some minor flaws, like being lazy, nagging, or being stingy, that's normal. There's no such thing as a perfect person."
"Besides, you speak so highly of me. You can make tea, play chess well, and cook. You're also so kind to me. How could your father and I not like such a good brother?"
"Her dad, right?"
"That's right."
Lei Dashan nodded, carefully carving a peach wood hairpin in his hand, and said, "You like me, and I like you too. If you two live a good life, your mother and I will be relieved."
Lei Jingsheng whispered again, "Qingzhi and I can't have children."
"If you can't have a baby, then don't have one."
Liu Ye'er said, pulling Lei Jingsheng's hand, and said earnestly, "Qingzhi has a miserable life. She followed you when she was 18 years old. Don't mention this and make her sad."
"If you really want a child, I'll ask someone to find one. There are many families in this area who can't afford to raise multiple children. Raising one or two children will make their lives more lively."
Lei Dashan also said, "When you two raise a child, you need to give him a name. Dad will help you choose one."
Xiao Shengjiang's name was drawn by lot, Xiao Zhouzhou's name was agreed upon by Lei Li and Zhou Yi, and Lei Dashan was useless, which was quite a pity.
He felt that the name he had chosen - He Yue, was good no matter how you looked at it, and could be used for boys, girls, or boys. He had always wanted to give Lei Jingsheng one when he had a child.
I don’t like the name Heyue, but he has other options, so it’s fine to think of it now.
"I know."
Lei Jingsheng leaned on Liu Ye'er's arms with a smile, which made Liu Ye'er laugh and scold her for being such a grown-up girl and still being shameless to act coquettishly in her mother's arms. She just didn't notice the moisture in Lei Jingsheng's eyes.
She has such a mother and father.
very nice.
Brother and sister-in-law are also good.
Hello everyone.
—
Within two days.
Lei Jingsheng took Qingzhi to the Lei family.
Qing Zhi was wearing a light green outfit, and his appearance and temperament were exactly like a boy. He did not wear men's clothes to pretend to be a man. Lei Jingsheng pulled him into the house and took him to meet his parents, brother and sister-in-law.
Qingzhi was very reserved and bowed respectfully to each member of the Lei family.
Before his knees were even half bent, Lei Jingsheng helped him up and said with a smile, "Our family doesn't care about these empty formalities. Don't be embarrassed. Just call me dad and mom, and brother and sister-in-law."
"yes."
Qing Zhi nodded obediently, his brows lowered, then he gently raised his gaze towards Liu Ye'er and Lei Dashan, and called out calmly,
"Dad, Mom."
Then he said to Lei Li and Zhou Yi, "Brother, sister-in-law."
"Why."
Everyone responded gently with a smile, and each gave Qingzhi a big red gift package. It looked thin and no one could guess what was inside.
Qing Zhi first glanced at Lei Jingsheng, and when she smiled and said, "Come and take it quickly," she took it respectfully with both hands and thanked them one by one in a gentle voice.
Liu Ye'er asked people to sit down quickly. Qing Zhi looked at Lei Jingsheng again, and when she saw that she sat down, she sat down below her, with her body straight and her eyebrows slightly lowered.
"Ginger, Zhou Zhou."
Lei Li smiled and nudged Little Jiang, then said to him and Little Zhou Zhou, "Daddy taught you what to call us."
"Uncle."
Little Jiang smiled crisply and said, "I'm Jiang, Lei Jiang. Uncle, just call me Jiang. You can talk to Jiang if you have anything. This is my younger brother Zhou Zhou. Zhou Zhou is calling people."
"people."
Little Zhou Zhou said in a baby voice.
This instantly made everyone laugh, and the reserved Qingzhi also smiled with pursed lips.
"?"
Little Zhou Zhou had a stern face and a hint of confusion in his big eyes. He didn't understand why everyone was laughing.
"It's Uncle."
Little Jiang smiled and patiently taught his brother, "Tell my brother, hello uncle."
"Hello, uncle."
Xiao Zhou Zhou did as he was told immediately.
The babyish words and serious face made Qing Zhi feel warm in her heart. She couldn't help but smile and said cheerfully, "Zhou Zhou is fine too."
"Um."
Little Zhou Zhou nodded his little head, still looking at Qing Zhi seriously, which made Qing Zhi a little nervous. Then the little brother said in a righteous voice,
"dessert."
“……?”
Qingzhi didn't understand.
Zhou Yi understood what his brother was saying in a second and explained, "Zhou Zhou said that there are snacks on the table. These snacks are delicious. You can eat them if you want."
“Yes… yes.”
Qingzhi quickly nodded and thanked him, and Xiao Zhouzhou also thanked him seriously.
"Come here Zhou Zhou."
Lei Li waved his hand, and the little brother rushed into his father's arms like a little cannonball. His father caught him steadily, and then he sat on his father's lap to eat delicious snacks.
"Drink some water."
Lei Li fed little Zhou Zhou some water before saying to Qing Zhi with a smile, "The snacks on the table next to you are Zhou Zhou's favorites. He lets you eat them because he likes you."
"This little guy takes after his father. He's quiet and has a bad temper, but he has a good heart."
“……?”
When did he become sour-faced?
Zhou Yi looked at her husband silently, not daring to say a word. She just wiped the water stains on the corner of little Zhou Zhou's mouth with a handkerchief and pulled up his bib.
Just now, Xiao Zhou Zhou was running around playing and his bib got loose.
"I know."
Qingzhi nodded slightly.
He had been observing people's words and expressions and relying on them for so many years in the Chu House, so naturally he could tell whether others treated him well or not.
Some people seem kind and gentle, but in fact, they look down on him with contempt; some people seem carefree and innocent, but in fact, they are cruel and vicious, and can betray him at the turn of a button; and some people look cold, hard and arrogant and not easy to mess with, but they are the most moral and upright.
The goodwill shown by the Lei family was so obvious, but he still couldn't feel it, which meant he was ungrateful.
After a brief introduction, Liu Ye'er took Qing Zhi aside to chat about family matters, asking him how he got along with Jing Sheng, whether he treated him well, and to tell her if there was anything bad.
Lei Jingsheng snorted, "How could I be mean to Qingzhi? Qingzhi and I are very good friends, don't you think?"
Qingzhi naturally said yes.
Liu Ye'er added, "Don't be like your brother, ordering Zhou Yi around all day. Young couples should support each other in life. If there's anything wrong, just talk it out and work it out. It will get better slowly, okay?"
"I know."
Lei Jingsheng nodded obediently.
Lei Dashan didn't talk much. He just drank tea and listened quietly, and only spoke a few words occasionally.
Little Jiang was playing with little Zhou Zhou, Zhou Yi went to cook, and Lei Li followed him to the kitchen to make trouble - oh no, to help cook.
A hearty lunch.
After dinner, Lei Jingsheng took Qingzhi to the village for a walk to help digest the food and get to know the road and meet some people.
Yesterday, Lei Li and Lei Jingsheng had warned the villagers not to say anything they shouldn't say. If the Lei family heard any gossip, they would be in big trouble.
At this time, the villagers saw Lei Jingsheng and the strange boy next to her. Qingzhi's pregnancy mole was not obvious, behind her ear, but it was not difficult to find.
When they asked, they found out that it was Lei Jingsheng's... These uncles, aunts, and cousins looked at each other, not knowing whether she was Lei Jingsheng's husband, father-in-law, or daughter-in-law.
Anyway, they were shocked.
There were no boys and girls together in Qingmi County, or at least not on the surface. To the people of Sanlihe Village, this was like snow in June, something they had never heard of.
The degree of the explosion was equivalent to when Lei Li picked up a man of unknown origin from the mountains and married him into his wife's family.
Under pressure from the Lei family, everyone greeted them with smiles and praised them endlessly. Even a thick-skinned person like Lei Jingsheng would blush after hearing them.
Qing Zhi, on the contrary, remained calm and composed, neither humble nor arrogant, and bowed to them to express her gratitude.
After Lei Jingsheng and Qing Zhi walked away, these uncles, aunts, and cousins looked at each other and started chirping in unison. Their expressions varied, some were shocked, some were enthusiastic, and some were frowning with displeasure.
——Those who are fanatical are so attracted by the freshness and explosiveness of this melon that they can chew on it for days and nights without getting tired of it.
In a few days.
The villagers found out everything about Qingzhi's family.
certainly.
These are the things that the Lei family wants them to know. As for those things that they don't want to be spread, not a single word was revealed. Even those men who often go to brothels didn't recognize Qing Zhi.
First, Qingzhi was a prostitute in the museum. She rarely showed up, just to make tea and play chess. Most of the time, she was there to accompany the literati and scholars who came here.
Secondly, the Chu restaurant is relatively high-end and you can't get in without a certain threshold. Even if you get in, the villagers will not order a prostitute who can't do anything.
But even so, they still never get tired of eating this melon.
An old maid who is still unmarried at the age of 24.
She doesn't want any man anymore and is with a boy, an 18-year-old boy who is young and fresh, has lost both his parents and has no one to rely on. He obeys Lei Jingsheng's every word.
It's just like in modern times, when someone around you suddenly comes out as gay or lesbian, meets their parents and has a clear path to adulthood, and they're right under your nose all day long, so it's hard not to pay attention.
What's more, this was an ancient time when there was relatively little entertainment.
But no matter how big other people's family affairs are, they are still other people's family affairs. As long as it doesn't affect your own family, no matter whether it is between a boy or a man and a girl, you can still live your life as usual.
The villagers grumbled about this for a while, but when they saw that the Lei family was organized and nothing different from usual, they became bored and went back to their own work.
