In the unfamiliar environment, Qi Sisi's biological clock was on time and she woke up at dawn.
Zhao Xingyu beside her was soon awakened by her. Qi Sisi held him down and let him sleep a little longer.
The man almost suffered from insomnia yesterday. She talked a lot and finally fell asleep without realizing it.
The day breaks earlier in the capital.
It was misty, with a hint of red floating on the horizon. It was just six o'clock.
There is already movement in the small western-style building.
I was helping the chef Sister He with work in the yard. After watching her hang out the clothes to dry, I went to pick some vegetables and started to wash them.
Qi Sisi stepped forward and greeted him.
Sister He nodded politely without saying much.
Qi Sisi didn't care and walked around the yard, measuring the varieties of the flowers.
You know what, there are quite a lot of varieties here, and the fragrance of the flowers is everywhere, but they are all light, and none of them are particularly strong.
After a while.
Zhao Si came out wearing a shirt.
Seeing Qi Sisi, he greeted her and went to the backyard. Although he was older, he would practice a set of boxing in the backyard every morning and he had kept this habit for so many years.
It’s similar to Zhao Xingyu’s morning training.
Maybe all soldiers have this habit.
"Sisi, why are you up so early?"
"Did you call your family after arriving in Beijing?"
Zhao Si is very kind to his satisfied daughter-in-law, and is completely a kind father-in-law.
Qi Sisi was stunned for a moment, "No."
Neither the young couple thought about this at all; after all, they were picked up as soon as they left the train station.
"Hey," Zhao Si frowned instantly, "That won't do. I have to tell my parents-in-law that it's okay, otherwise I'll be worried."
Qi Sisi nodded quickly: "You are right, thank you for reminding me. I, Xingyu, hadn't even thought of this."
After all, this is her first time to go abroad away from home, her parents must be very worried...
"Well, there is a phone in my study. It was my negligence. I should have called you yesterday." Zhao Si breathed a sigh of relief.
The way this matter was handled was really...if it gets out, people will say that he is not meticulous.
"Thank you, Dad!"
Qi Sisi thanked him sincerely.
Although she had some minor opinions about her father-in-law because of Zhao Xingyu, she had to admit that after meeting him, her father-in-law's performance was still very satisfactory and generally not bad.
Now that her father-in-law had gotten up, Qi Sisi went back to the room and called Zhao Xingyu.
After all, it's not their own home. They can't stay in bed when the elders are awake. If this gets out, they will be criticized.
If they were their biological parents, it wouldn't be a big deal, no one would say bad things about their own children.
I have a stepmother here. It’s a rare opportunity for her to come over, and I don’t want anyone to find any point of criticism against her.
"Hmm? What did you do?"
Zhao Xingyu was lying on the bed, awake but with a hazy look in his eyes.
The voice is a little hoarse and vague, with a hint of lazy sexiness.
"Just take a look."
Qi Sisi stepped forward and pressed on him.
"Dad is already up and practicing boxing in the backyard. Do you want to join us?"
During this time, if you two have any private conversations, you can also talk about it.
Zhao Xingyu paused and shook his head: "No need."
He was originally going to go for training, but when he heard that his father was also there, he immediately lost interest.
"Who cares what he does? Just stay with me for a while."
The man put his hand on his wife's waist and held her tightly.
"Why......"
Qi Sisi never expected this result and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
There was only one thought in my mind.
It seems that he has a deep knot in his heart.
I don't know what my father-in-law and stepmother-in-law did to hurt him so much...
Finally, it was Sister He who came over and knocked on the door.
The meal is ready.
Zhao Xingyu was not in a good mood, and no one knew why. Seeing him look a little depressed, Qi Sisi felt a little distressed.
But this is not the time to be willful. There is no time to waste in saying anything.
Qi Sisi quickly pulled the person up, washed up quickly, and rushed to the hall.
really.
Lao Zhao and Liu Qin were already in their seats, waiting for the two to arrive.
No one spoke.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.
In the end, it was Si Zhao who spoke first: "After dinner, come to my study and call my in-laws. Don't you even know to let them know you're safe when you arrive in the capital?" He glared at his son critically.
If he was alone, it would be fine. Nothing could happen to a grown man. But he has his daughter-in-law with him, so he has to give her some news to reassure her parents-in-law.
You little bastard, you are so careless!
Zhao Xingyu really wanted to roll his eyes.
If Lao Zhao hadn't forced someone to take it over, he would never have forgotten about it.
The phone is in Lao Zhao's study. They have just arrived, who would run around?
By the time I saw it last night, I had already forgotten about it.
"It just so happens that I can talk to my in-laws as well."
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Lao Zhao's face unconsciously.
Zhao Xingyu did not refute.
Just asked casually.
"Aren't you two on good terms? Why don't you keep in touch?"
They are so good that I can hand my son over to Lao Qi, how can their relationship be ordinary?
Old Zhao glanced at him, wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.
If it weren't for him, who was so far away, the two big bosses would have no time to call each other to keep in touch......
"Eat!"
Old Zhao said fiercely, and stopped talking to him.
Breakfast is simple.
Omelette, noodle soup.
The taste is light and refreshing, the egg pancake has the aroma of green onions, and the hot soup has the spicy aroma of white pepper.
I have to say, after drinking this bowl of noodle soup, my whole body warmed up.
Liu Qin always kept a spectator's attitude and did not interrupt the conversation between the two of them, appearing particularly indifferent.
What's strange is.
Old Zhao actually had no objection, as if this was a very normal thing.
study.
Zhao Xingyu held the microphone and spoke skillfully.
Qi Sisi was not familiar with this old-fashioned landline, so she sat obediently and watched him do it until a voice came from the microphone.
"This is Deputy Secretary Qi's office. What can I do for you?"
I guess they recognized the number and responded politely.
"It's Xiao Hu's voice!"
Zhao Xingyu explained calmly, and then said into the microphone: "I am Zhao Xingyu. May I ask if Deputy Director Qi is available to answer the phone now?"
"Hold on!"
The microphone was then put down, and I heard footsteps fading away, followed by a long period of silence.
The young couple looked at each other.
You can't even make a phone call, right?
"Hello?"
"Is it Xingyu?"
When Lao Qi's simple and honest voice sounded, you could feel a warm smile without even having to do anything.
As if it were right in front of me.
"Dad, it's us. Sisi arrived in the capital yesterday. Lao Zhao sent someone to pick her up. Now Sisi lives in the army."
Zhao Xingyu explained the matter simply and clearly.
Lao Qi responded with a few “ahs”.
As if he had thought of something, he burst into laughter.
"What's up?"
Zhao Xingyu didn't understand.
Lao Qi suddenly said mysteriously: "I have good news to tell you!"
"What good news?"
"Sisi went to the hospital for a physical examination. The results came out yesterday. Sisi is pregnant!!!"
Zhao Xingyu opened his mouth wide with a look of sullenness on his face.
He blinked.
He slowly turned his head and looked at Qi Sisi beside him.
"Sisi, did you, did you, did you hear it just now? What did you hear?"
His whole mind is in chaos.
