Why did Ms. Meng ask what this was after seeing the bright pink?
Because she was surprised.
I was surprised that there was a head flower at home that only little girls of a few years old would wear.
There are no girls in Old Chen's family, not even in the homes of the relatives he often visits.
So, when she suddenly saw such a thing, her heart started beating wildly before she even finished asking the question.
However, before he could check her belly and face to see if there were any signs of pregnancy based on his inner guess, he was stunned by someone's words.
Birthday present?
Not... not what she thought?
That--
"Is it your birthday today?" Ms. Meng asked, then suddenly looked at Erdan and then at Dadan. "When did you prepare the birthday present?"
These days, the kids' departure and return times are pretty consistent, never more than twenty minutes apart. When did they prepare for this?!
If she knew they were preparing a birthday present for their daughter-in-law, she would definitely not come empty-handed...
but,
She looked up at the height of the sun and said directly, "After we eat the watermelon, we will go to the department store and buy you a skirt!"
She met her daughter-in-law several times, and she was always wearing various shirts and loose trousers.
She had never seen her wear a skirt before.
But with her looks and figure, she will definitely be eye-catching in this outfit.
After Ms. Meng finished speaking, she rushed to the kitchen with the watermelon in her arms. Erdan followed her, clamoring to help her get a knife to cut the watermelon.
Su Qinghu didn't even have time to say a few polite words and could only watch her mother-in-law walk away.
Dadan stood still and said, "It's inconvenient for you to withdraw money with grandma following you, right?"
"You don't have to withdraw it today. I'll be at work tomorrow, so you can go to the bank to withdraw the money at noon." Su Qinghu reached out and touched his head, speaking earnestly with a gentle look in his eyes, "Don't worry, and don't worry about business. You study hard, and let me bear the hardships of life alone~~~~"
Big Egg: “…”
Dadan really wants to say, if your eyes weren’t so bright when you spoke, I might have believed your lies!
"Wow, Dadan, your eyes can speak!" Su Qinghu suddenly held Dadan's little face in his hands, his body movements and eyes exaggeratedly making it clear at a glance. "Let me guess, are you thinking that I'm a liar? There's no such thing as hardship in my life, only the joy of spending money?"
You know and you still ask?!
Dadan had a stern face and she started again! She started to get irritated again!
But if she asked, would he answer her? What was he thinking?
"Wow, he looks angry." Su Qinghu rubbed Dadan's dark little face and laughed happily. After laughing, he did not forget to end his previous words.
She said, "Yes! That's right! With me, there's no hardship in life, only the joy of spending money!"
Dadan almost pounded the ground.
Why? Why was he silent, and she was still able to ask and answer questions by herself, making him angry?!
Seeing that Dadan was about to bite, Su Qinghu let go of his face and walked away, "Let's go eat watermelon!"
Looking at her graceful back, Dadan, who was grinding his back teeth, stood there for a while, then followed her resentfully.
Ms. Meng cut the melon skillfully, first taking care of the children and then Su Qinghu.
Su Qinghu took a petal but didn't eat it. After Ms. Meng put down the kitchen knife and took a piece, she smiled and took a bite.
"This is your first business trip. Are you adapting well?" Ms. Meng sat next to Su Qinghu with a melon in her hand and chatted with her.
The weather in the south is hot and humid. People who are used to living in the north always feel sticky when they go there, as if they haven't washed clean.
She had been in the south for several years and it took her a long time to adapt.
"Not bad." Su Qinghu swallowed the watermelon in his mouth and replied to Ms. Meng, "There are quite a lot of delicious food over there. I also brought some local specialties for you and Dad when I came back this time."
In this weather, there are actually very few local specialties that can be brought, such as cakes, salted duck, etc., which are impossible to bring. She simply bought some Yuhua tea and cured duck.
Ms. Meng was not polite either. "Okay, when we get back tonight—"
She paused at this point, and under Su Qinghu's puzzled gaze, she said, "Shall we have dinner together?"
He added, "Call your dad?"
Is this for her birthday?
Su Qinghu suddenly felt embarrassed. Celebrating birthdays was always a non-event for her. It was either a matter of wanting to or not wanting to.
Being brought up so solemnly, especially by her parents-in-law who had spent half their lives in the military and were highly respected, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
She doesn't seem to have done anything that aligns with her in-laws' values...
"Is Dad in the compound?" Su Qinghu asked her mother-in-law, Ms. Meng, holding a melon.
Ms. Meng nodded. "I originally wanted to take Dadan and Erdan out for a walk today. Dadan and Erdan said they wanted to come back to see if you were back. I told your dad and then brought them here."
As soon as they arrived, the two children were reluctant to go back. She thought that her daughter-in-law had not called yet and might still be on a business trip. The two children also wanted to stay with her for a few more days, so she agreed to the children's wishes and stayed here for a while longer.
It was hot and there was nothing much at home, so she went out to buy a melon. When she came back, she found that her daughter-in-law had already come home.
"How about we go to the compound?" Su Qinghu took a bite of the melon, her eyes narrowed at the sweetness, "I'll make you something delicious!"
Ms. Meng looked at her fair, pink face and hesitated, "It's hot."
"It doesn't matter." Su Qinghu said, "In the summer, it's easier to eat the food you cook yourself."
There's no rush to withdraw the money, you can do it tomorrow.
Erdan hesitated several times. Should he still go to get the money? If he didn't go to get the money, what would he do with the bus fare when he came back from his grandparents' house? Who would pay for it?
Mom has no money, he has no money, and his brother—
Does my brother have any money left?
If you don't treat us, then my brother's sixty cents can be used as transportation fare.
It seems ok, no need to worry.
"Mom, you and the two children, please sit for a while. I'm going to go wash up." Su Qinghu stood up and said to Ms. Meng, "I might need to take a shower. There are too many people on the train and the ride is quite long. I always feel uncomfortable if I don't take a shower."
Ms. Meng waved her hand and let her go.
When Su Qinghu arrived at the bedroom, she did not go to look for a change of clothes first. Instead, she rummaged through her bedside table and took out her marriage certificate. When she saw that the date of birth listed on it was the same as what she had answered, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, fortunately Chen Lie didn't confirm her answer just to save face or to spare her dignity!
After putting the marriage certificate back, Su Qinghu turned around to look for a change of clothes. As soon as his hand touched the clothes, he was suddenly stunned!
I just said I wanted to go to the compound, but I spoke too hastily and forgot the fundamental issue! ! ! !
