Before leaving, Zhao Xingyu made a special check around the retirement home to confirm that there were no gaps. He felt relieved and went back with the driver.
Before getting off the bus, I specifically asked about the usual time to go down the mountain.
When we got home, several black cats were already waiting for us at the gate.
Zhao Xingyu's eyes flashed with surprise: "Why did you come so early..."
"This is your old friend's job. We just want to help you move first. Anyway, there is nothing else to do." The black cat smiled playfully, and his tone was very righteous.
Glancing sideways at the other people, do they think so?
Xu Bao said straightforwardly: "Old man's business is of course the most important!"
"Okay, come in with me!"
Zhao Xingyu was too lazy to argue and wanted to move out early.
"Boss, take out the things you need to take and we will help you move them."
After all, it was a marriage, and the brothers had to avoid suspicion, so they didn't go into the room, didn't even look at it, and just lay down on the sofa in the living room.
"Mr., the sofa in Miss Qi's house is so soft. You always refused to let us come before. That's too much!"
Zhao Xingyu said with a straight face: "Why call her Miss 꺶? She's your sister-in-law!"
"I don't know when I can afford a sofa like this. It's so damn soft, it feels like a steamed bun when I sit on it."
"It is good for a man to be greedy and enjoy himself!"
"Xu Bao, if you have the guts, don't sit down!"
······
Zhao Xingyu had no choice but to support his forehead.
These rascals become a mess when they have nothing to do. They make a lot of noise and are really a headache.
After saying "wait", he went into the house to pack his things.
The room has plenty of storage space, including two small rattan boxes, about 20 inches in size, which can only hold some light clothes. These were prepared during the wedding and can be considered a dowry.
Zhao Xingyu thought about it, threw all the clothes they had worn in the past few days on the bed, and stacked them one by one.
Sisi was too lazy to fold clothes, and she lied that they looked better hanging them up, and she persuaded him with her words, so usually Qi Sisi would collect the clothes and he would be responsible for stacking them.
Things like skirts tend to wrinkle easily when folded, but she was too lazy to fold them and just hung them all up.
There is no other way now. I have to take it with me when I move.
Thinking that his wife would be back within a week, Zhao Xingyu only picked up three or four sets and stopped. The rest were mostly daily necessities, as well as Qi Sisi's meat jerky, dried fruits, cookies and candies.
In the end, I picked and chose and didn't bring too much.
Wait for the daughter-in-law to come back and choose what to take away. She will feel comfortable using it.
"Old man, it's ready so soon?"
The black cat looked surprised and glanced at the basket in his hand. Is this all the old man's stuff? How pitiful!
Zhao Xingyu said calmly: "Just stay for a few days and wait for your sister-in-law to come back before cleaning up."
“Oh~~~”
Several young men stretched out their voices and laughed in an ambiguous and unrestrained manner.
"Old man, are you afraid?"
"The legendary wife-controlling henpecked man, a henpecked woman?"
“I didn’t see it!”
"Since you have been pursuing Miss Qi for so long, it is only right that you focus on the important things..."
Zhao Xingyu said with a straight face, "What are you talking about? A man should respect and love his wife. Once he starts a family, he should shoulder his responsibilities. If he just wants to be himself, doesn't give in at home, and only accepts a woman's sacrifice, then it's better to marry a wife!"
Several people were speechless.
I just wanted to joke, but I didn't expect the old man to be so serious. I was silent for a while.
Xu Bao held his head back and thought for a moment before nodding vigorously: "Old man, you are right!"
"Think about it, in our army, the husbands and wives with good relationships are basically doing their jobs wrong, and those with good relationships often quarrel and don't do their jobs well."
"What's the connection between these two?" Black Cat poked his head out from behind him.
Zhao Xingyu smiled, sat down and started to boil water.
"Old man, tell me, what does this mean?" The black cat was very depressed because he didn't understand. What kind of nonsense was the old man playing with Xu Bao?
Zhao Xingyu poured the tea calmly, raised his chin, and said, "Let Xu Bao explain it to you."
"Well," Xu Bao touched his nose, "I know you are right, that is... treating their wives well at home shows that they are clear-headed and have no problems with their character. Moreover, their sisters-in-law respect them and will help maintain the home. With a good environment and family care, men will naturally fight on the battlefield without worries."
"Almost!"
Zhao Xingyu nodded with satisfaction. There was something about what Xu Bao said that was very much in line with his thoughts.
"Marry a wife and treat her well, and of course don't harm a young girl. If you treat your bedmate well, how can your leaders trust you and your comrades trust you?"
"That's right."
The black cat seemed to understand, but not quite. What the old man said made his eyes sparkle, and he fell down in anger.
"Sit down for a while, I'm getting anxious."
Zhao Xingyu thought that they had just stood at the door for so long and decided to take a break first.
"My dear, how do you feel about your parents-in-law after you married into the family?"
The bear took a different approach and asked a less popular question.
Black Cat smiled and said without hesitation: "Deputy Commander Qi will definitely treat us well. He has always been good to us, and he will only be better now!"
Zhao Xingyu fell into deep thought.
It was true that he seemed to be getting more and more comfortable in the Qi family, and they were getting closer and closer emotionally, as if the absence of a few years ago had come back to life.
This is different.
In the past, the family seemed harmonious on the surface, but each had their own thoughts in private. Everything was fine as long as it touched on the topic of confrontation. But things finally changed. His feelings for Sisi became clear, and his parents-in-law were very supportive. The family was harmonious and happy, much better than before.
Of course, he would talk about these advantages.
Such a perfect life, if he talked too much, what if they became jealous? He wanted to start a one-on-many fight.
"Let's go! Sit down."
He needed to take a break. He didn't want to let these bastards ask questions.
"Don't be so stingy, old man. This tea tastes really good!" Black Cat said as he touched the teapot and put it in his pocket naturally.
Zhao Xingyu glared: "That's Yue's tea!"
"Deputy Commander Qi is so tolerant, he will definitely deal with you, so don't worry!"
The others were laughing in a schadenfreude.
When leaving, I found that Zhao Xingyu took a little from here and there, and I knew that the box was full.
"Old man, I believe you are doing well now."
Black Cat was in a heavy mood. If he was living a good life, he would think about how he could have changed from someone who only had two sets of clothes to someone who even had to carry nail clippers.
My husband was finally snatched away by that woman. My sister-in-law should be happy, but why do I feel so empty inside...
"It's good to be here!"
Zhao Xingyu glared at him.
This kid can talk, and if it were because of his young age, he would send someone to pair him with a target until he learns to talk well.
