"I heard from Xiaoqin that you came back from a business trip today. I thought you would be away for such a long time, so I came over to cook something delicious for you."
Zhong Mu stood up with a smile on her face. She looked like she was complaining but was actually praising her as she took the bag from Li Jie's hand.
"Tell me, you just came back from a business trip and ran to the vegetable market."
After praising her son-in-law, Mother Zhong began to scold her daughter again.
"Xiaoqin, you said that you can even forget the day when Chen Yu came back. You are living in such a confused way."
Zhong Xiaoqin stared at her mother blankly, speechless.
The situation changed too quickly, like a tornado.
She was worried just now that "Chen Yu" would show some flaws, but she didn't expect this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes to act so well.
"Chen Yu, are you tired?"
"Come, come, come, you sit down first, mom will cook, you just wait here."
On the other side, Mother Zhong began to greet her son-in-law. People who didn't know about it thought she was not her son-in-law, but her own son.
At first glance, Zhong Xiaoqin’s daughter looks more like a daughter-in-law.
"Mom, I'm not tired. I just rested on the plane."
"Okay, then you sit down for a while, the meal will be ready soon."
Zhong Mu smiled and nodded, then walked towards the kitchen carrying a bag full of vegetables and started preparing dinner.
When Zhong Mu disappeared from sight, Zhong Xiaoqin patted her sizable little breast and said with lingering fear.
"What a risk, what a risk."
When Zhong's mother came just now, Zhong Xiaoqin was drafting a 'cohabitation agreement'. At first she thought it was 'Chen Yu' who didn't bring the key, but when the door opened, it was her mother who appeared outside.
It's a good thing that my mother's attention was not on the computer, otherwise she would have had to go to bed.
Li Jie glanced at her little move, raised his eyebrows, and joked with a smile.
"What's so dangerous?"
"snort!"
Zhong Xiaoqin snorted softly and turned her head arrogantly, leaving the back of her head to Li Jie.
Li Jie smiled and didn't mind. He picked up the remote control and turned on the TV. Although he was suspended now, he still had to do the superficial work.
After all, in my mother-in-law's mind, she would never miss the evening news column of the Shanghai News Channel.
Although Zhong Mu was in the kitchen, she still strained her ears to listen to what was going on in the living room. When she heard the sound of the TV coming from the living room, the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up slightly.
After a while, dinner was ready.
"Xiao Qin, Chen Yu, it's time to eat!"
"Coming."
"Mom, let me help you."
At the dinner table, Mother Zhong's eyes flickered back and forth between the young couple. She always felt that something was not right.
Zhong Xiaoqin was the first to be unable to withstand the pressure, deliberately pretending to be intimate, and kept putting vegetables in Li Jie's bowl.
Not clamping is fine, but clamping is a bad thing.
Zhong’s mother often comes to the house to cook for the young couple, probably two or three times a week. Zhong Xiaoqin would not do this during normal meals.
What's more, Zhong Xiaoqin's acting skills are really poor, and the smile on her face is a little stiff.
In such a weird atmosphere, the dinner was finished.
In order to show the love between the two, Zhong Xiaoqin took the initiative to take over the task of clearing the dishes.
After her daughter walked into the kitchen with a plate, Mother Zhong asked in a low voice.
"Chen Yu, did you and Xiaoqin have a fight?"
Li Jie sighed inwardly. He didn't find it strange at all that Zhong's mother saw this, but he was already prepared and deliberately scratched his head.
"Xiaoqin is having trouble with me."
When Zhong Mu heard this, her heart suddenly tightened, but the next words made her feel inexplicably relieved.
"It's my fault too. I was too busy on this business trip and forgot to bring her a gift."
When Zhong Mu found out the reason, she was very angry and funny. She was angry because her daughter was ignorant and acted like a child, but she was laughing because there was no big problem with the couple's relationship. Based on her understanding of her daughter, she estimated that tomorrow, no, tonight
The anger should have subsided.
"This girl is really spoiled by us. Chen Yu, don't mind. That's just how Xiaoqin is, like a child who hasn't grown up."
Li Jie raised his head and glanced at the kitchen, smiled and shook his head.
"Mom, don't worry, I know."
"That's good."
Mother Zhong smiled, then turned to look at her daughter who was busy in the kitchen, and said to Li Jie mysteriously.
"In this way, you can coax her well later and watch an episode of "Youth with You" with her. Xiaoqin burst into tears while watching this drama recently. Then you can comfort her and her anger will definitely subside.
Already."
Li Jie was made to laugh and cry by Mother Zhong's 'guidance'. Mother Zhong really sold her daughter cleanly.
However, it can also be seen from this that Zhong's mother is obviously very satisfied with her son-in-law, otherwise she would not have seen this little contradiction and couldn't wait to start making suggestions.
Li Jie kept nodding his head and said with a smile: "Yes, I understand, Mom, I will try it later."
"Okay, I'll leave first."
After saying this, Mother Zhong walked towards the entrance hall, shouting to the kitchen as she walked.
"Xiaoqin, mom is going back first."
"Mom, let me see you off."
Li Jie stood up and followed Mother Zhong step by step.
"Okay, okay, it's better for you, unlike Xiaoqin." Mother Zhong nodded with satisfaction, and then complained incidentally: "They say that my daughter is a little cotton-padded jacket. I didn't expect that I have to leave now, and Xiaoqin doesn't know.
Come out for a moment."
Zhong's mother deliberately spoke very loudly. Zhong Xiaoqin in the kitchen heard her mother's complaints and shook her head with a wry smile.
If the three of them went out on the street together, most people would probably think that 'Chen Yu' and his mother were more like mother and son, while she was the little daughter-in-law.
Don’t make the difference too obvious!
All in all, everything about 'Chen Yu' is good in her eyes, but nothing about him is bad in her eyes.
Li Jie put Zhong's mother in the car and returned home. He saw Zhong Xiaoqin moving the computer to the table. The four characters "Cohabitation Agreement" were particularly eye-catching on the screen.
"Hey, here's the agreement, come and take a look."
Li Jie walked up to the screen and glanced at it hastily.
kindness.
This agreement is very detailed.
Of course, it's also weird enough.
For example, in the first article, two people should not interfere with each other's freedom of life, try not to talk or look at each other, and communicate with authority when necessary.
This is obviously impossible to achieve. Living under the same roof, raising your head and not looking down, is possible without dialogue, but it is impossible not to look at each other.
However, Li Jie was too lazy to find fault. It was a very unwise thing to reason with a woman, especially when the other party was not yet resentful.
After browsing the so-called 'cohabitation agreement', Li Jie touched his chin, then turned around and left.
Zhong Xiaoqin stared at Li Jie's background with blank eyes, not understanding what it meant.
agree?
Still disagree?
After a while, the doubts in Zhong Xiaoqin's eyes disappeared, and Li Jie came over with this piece of A4 paper in his hand and wrote on it.
'agree!'
This move left Zhong Xiaoqin dumbfounded, dumbfounded, and thinking to herself.
