Mrs. Jiang was very happy to hear that Zhou Heng was coming to my house. I heard that she went to the mall and bought a lot of things that day.
I was quite moved. People always say that the relationship between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the most difficult, but Mrs. Jiang's behavior has alleviated half of my concerns.
Early that day, Mrs. Jiang drove to the bottom of my building.
I am brushing my teeth, with a mouth full of foam, when I hear a knocking at the door. In a hurry, I finish brushing and run to open the door. Luckily, I have changed my clothes, so I don't appear in front of them in my pajamas. Jiang Qingyuan comes in cheerfully, followed by Mrs. Jiang and Zhou Heng.
"Sis, why aren't you being more proactive?"
I understand what Jiang Qingyuan means. It seems like their whole family is even more excited than me, especially Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Qingyuan.
I exchanged a glance with Zhou Heng, and there was a hint of helplessness in his gentle eyes.
"Wait for me for a moment, I'll be ready soon," I rushed into the bedroom and quickly washed my face. I didn't know what Zhou Heng and the others were talking about in the living room, but I could hear Jiang Qingyuan's laughter. That brat always drives me crazy.
When I went out neatly dressed, I saw a different living room, clean and quiet, with everything neatly arranged. This is all thanks to Mrs. Jiang, who is currently tidying up in the kitchen. I felt particularly embarrassed and hurried over.
"Mrs. Jiang, I, I'm usually quite busy..."
I rarely cook at home and I'm usually too tired from work, so I always end up cleaning the house on the weekends. Although the house is not too messy, it's not very tidy either. Mrs. Jiang interrupted me, saying, "It's okay, I'll help you clean up from now on." I felt so embarrassed.
Jiang Qingyuan patted my shoulder and said, "You see, my mom is so nice. If you marry into our family, you won't have to worry about being bullied by your mother-in-law."
Mrs. Jiang gave him a look and said, "What are you talking about?"
Then she turned her head and said loudly, "Zhou Heng, you and Xiao Meng should leave now. Leave everything here to me."
"Is this, is this really okay?"
"What's not okay? You young people are busy, and we older folks are happy to help tidy up a bit."
Jiang Qingyuan winked at me, "We've already taught my brother a lot of good ideas to please his future mother-in-law. Sister, you can confidently bring my brother home."
Ha! I was so shocked that my jaw almost dropped.
They actually gave Zhou Heng ideas to please my parents. Can Zhou Heng really learn to do that? I looked at Zhou Heng with a suspicious look, but he remained calm.
My dad has always been a man of few words and has an introverted personality. These two introverts together could make a silent play.
I suddenly felt a headache.
Being urged by Mrs. Jiang, I handed the keys to her and still felt a little guilty. After all, she is not idle, helping me clean the house, making me feel sorry.
Today, it was Zhou Heng's car, and Mrs. Jiang specially let out the seven-seater business car from home. When I saw the back seat and the things in the trunk, I was really shocked. Is this the rhythm of moving?
Zhou Heng helplessly smiled, "It's all prepared by my mom."
It seems that his mom is even more anxious than he is.
Mrs. Jiang seems to have brought the entire mall home.
"Zhou Heng, actually, you don't need to deliberately try to please my parents. You are just that kind of person, there's no need to hide yourself, and no need to pretend. My parents are not unreasonable people, they are sincere, and they will definitely see it."
Zhou Heng smiled lightly, with a calm expression, but I saw a flash of gratitude in his eyes.
He was dressed casually today, with all his hair combed back, reve Ye Ling a smooth forehead, looking even more masculine and handsome. I couldn't help but feel a little distracted, he could also perfectly handle this kind of big back-combed hairstyle.
He reached out and took the thing in my hand, placing it in the back seat.
"Get in the car. Do you know the way if we don't use navigation?"
"Let's still use navigation." Every time I go home, I use navigation too. I'm afraid Zhou Heng will take the wrong way, so I directly opened the navigation on my phone.
Zhou Heng was driving, and I sat in the passenger seat, watching our home getting closer and closer, feeling inexplicably nervous. I told myself not to be nervous, but my palms were sweating as the car exited the highway. Zhou Heng seemed to notice my change in demeanor and reached out to gently touch me, asking, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, why would I be so nervous?"
Zhou Heng chuckled lightly, "This doesn't seem like your style. Who was comforting me just now?"
Yeah, when it comes to critical moments, I'm the one who gets cold feet.
"Zhou Heng, if my parents say something you don't like, please don't get angry, okay?"
I'm worried about how my parents and Zhou Heng will get along.
"You know my temper, it's hard to make me angry. If your uncle and aunt have doubts about me, it's normal. After all, they are your parents, and I can understand their concern."
"Are you saying that if my parents object, you have no choice but to let it be and just go with the flow?"
Zhou Heng was stunned, and the hand covering mine trembled slightly, a subtle movement that I sensed. He may have a good temper, but he also has a two-sided nature. Is he really so passive in the face of love?
I couldn't help feeling a little sad. I had made up my mind firmly to be with him.
But he always feels that everything is fated. What does "fated" mean? If you don't work hard, where does fate come from!
Seeing that I was somewhat unhappy, Zhou Heng held my hand tightly. "Xiao Meng, where there's a will, there's a way. I understand what you mean."
I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Zhou Heng finally understood what I meant.
Mid-conversation, the car had already arrived at the entrance of the residential area. Before I got out of the car, I saw my mom looking out of the window on the third floor, probably feeling a bit anxious. Fortunately, she didn't call to rush me along the way. I turned to Zhou Heng and said, "Let's go, the tense moment is about to come."
The car drove into the residential area and found a parking space. After Zhou Heng and I got out of the car, we both took a deep breath.
Despite his calm appearance, he should be quite nervous inside.
Because there were too many things, Zhou Heng and I picked up some things to carry. Just a few steps away, we saw many neighbors. They all looked at Zhou Heng with curious eyes because this was the first time they had seen my boyfriend coming home.
I believe that the history of my Miai s is definitely known by the aunties and uncles in the neighborhood, so I can find a boyfriend for them. It's definitely a big piece of gossip! Maybe it will spread throughout the neighborhood in no time.
"Xiao Meng, you're back?"
"It's been a while since we've seen you, Xiao Meng, you're getting more and more beautiful."
"Who is this?"
"Quite a good match."
I could only nod in response. Zhou Heng restrained his laughter on the side, and I knew he must be making fun of me. The underlying meaning of these uncles and aunties' words was nothing more than, "She can finally get married."
Yes, just because of the divination he did for me, I became the focus of attention in the community. Many people here have introduced potential partners to me. When I was going upstairs, Zhou Heng asked me quietly, "It seems like they care a lot about you?" "It's all thanks to you, Master Zhou."
Zhou Heng curved his lips slightly and said in a serious tone, "The Great Immortal Amitabha. This is fate."
"Teasing people on purpose is not a good thing, Master."
Just as Zhou Heng and I were joking and quickly walking up to the third floor, the shouting suddenly came from behind.
I was so shocked that I stumbled and almost fell, but luckily Zhou Heng quickly grabbed me. "Ling Xiaomeng." I steadied myself and saw my cousin Du Fei not far behind me. We've never gotten along since we were young, and when she first heard about my Miai, she deliberately said some things to provoke me.
I looked at the man next to her and figured he was her boyfriend. She stared at Zhou Heng and asked right away, "Is this your boyfriend?" I awkwardly nodded, "Yeah."
"Oh, this is my cousin Du Fei."
"Hello, cousin, I am Zhou Heng."
He is very polite and well-mannered.
I see Du Fei looking at him with shining eyes. Oh, the brilliance of Zhou Heng's good looks is enough to make people amazed, not to mention his all-round qualities.
Du Fei smiles awkwardly and says, "This is my boyfriend, Chen Qiguang."
The man named Chen Qiguang looks quite honest and plain, with an ordinary appearance and just one head taller. Standing next to Zhou Heng is quite a stark contrast, and Du Fei must be feeling quite complex at this moment.
"Xiao Meng, why are you standing in the hallway talking? Why haven't you brought the guests upstairs yet?" My mom had already opened the door and was standing at the entrance shouting at me.
It wasn't until we reached the third floor that my mom's attitude seemed normal. I couldn't tell if she had any special feelings towards Zhou Heng and any.
"Auntie, this is a supplement Qi Guang bought for you."
Du Fei smiled and approached, pushing Chen Qiguang: "Hurry, give it to your aunt."
My mom smiled awkwardly and said, "Why bring a gift? We're just having a family meal."
I took Chen Qiguang's gift and went to attend to other things.
We only saw the lively scene at home after we entered. Many guests were sitting, almost all of the relatives from the the Du Family and the the Ling Family had arrived. The living room, which was not originally spacious, suddenly became very crowded. There were the sounds of children playing, the noise from the TV, and the laughter of the adults.
As soon as everyone saw us come back, they all widened their eyes and looked at me and Zhou Heng. I knew they were all here to see something unusual.
"Oh, Xiao Meng, you finally arrived."
"Everyone is looking forward to your return."
"Is this your boyfriend?"
"Oh, finally..."
I haven't put down the things in my hands, and I don't have time to deal with these guests at all. My mom came over and brought some gifts, and my second aunt also helped carry a few bags.
I heard my second aunt say, "Wow, so many? When my Feifei's boyfriend came for the first time, there were even more. How come kids these days are so thoughtful?"
I chuckled.
My second aunt always likes to compare with my mom, so my cousin Du Fei and I have been like this since we were young. She always wants to be better than me in everything.
Last time, my mom got angry because Du Fei has a boyfriend and even started her own small company, making her young and successful. When my mom found out that Zhou Heng is a Taoist, she got extremely angry.
I greeted everyone with Zhou Heng one by one, and he followed suit.
"Great uncle, great aunt, uncle, aunt...."
My head hurts, the whole room is filled with people calling out, their voices rising.
Zhou Heng on the other hand, maintains a smile, politely and gracefully addressing everyone.
Oh my, finally finished after one round. I quickly pulled Zhou Heng to the side. Strange, why didn't I see my dad? There were too many people coming in just now, I didn't even realize. I went to the kitchen and asked my mom, "Where's dad?"
"I went to buy wine."
My mom turned to me and said, "Have you forgotten what day it is today?"
Oh, today is Dad's birthday, and his birthday is very special, it's January 1st. I've been so busy lately that I even forgot such an important day.
Fortunately, Zhou Heng prepared a lot of gifts, and I can pick any one from the car.
I whispered to Zhou Heng, "Accompany me downstairs to get something."
The author has something to say: Little fairies, this book is already more than halfway through, and it's starting the countdown to the end.
