My strategy failed, so my bestie introduced me to a tough officer.

Xu Hongyu's heartfelt words left Yun Jiaojiao at a loss for how to respond.

Thank you, Mom, for being so pretentious.

Mom, you are so nice. I have said it many times.

Yun Jiaojiao was silent for a few seconds, then simply hugged Xu Hongyu and kissed her.

"..."

Her kiss stunned Xu Hongyu.

Xu Hongyu came back to her senses, her old face flushed with joy.

The daughter-in-law kissed her on the face!

Looking at the entire Daoxiangtun, she is the only mother-in-law who has this honor.

The fact that her daughter-in-law can kiss her proves that she likes her mother-in-law very much.

"Mom, why is your face so red?"

Xie Zhennan helped Xie Ping'an pack his luggage and looked up to see Xu Hongyu with a red face.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"Train tickets can be changed."

"If you're not feeling well, leave in a few days."

"Stop cursing me."

Xu Hongyu stroked her right cheek that had been kissed by Yun Jiaojiao, turned around happily and glared at her eldest son.

"Jiaojiao just kissed me."

"Looking around the whole Daoxiangtun, I'm the only mother-in-law who's been kissed by my daughter-in-law."

"When I get back to Daoxiangtun, I'll have to tell my neighbors about it."

"Mom, you said my wife took the initiative to kiss you."

Xie Zhennan spoke sourly and looked at Yun Jiaojiao with resentment in his eyes.

"From the time we started dating until now, my wife rarely kisses me."

"Mom is good to me, I like her, so what's wrong with me kissing her first?"

Yun Jiaojiao ignored Xie Zhennan's resentful look and held Xu Hongyu's arm intimately.

"Mom and Dad, Zhenbei and Jiaxin have already had lunch, and the dry food for the car is ready. You pick up your luggage, call Zhenbei, Jiaxin and Sixiao, and let's set off for the train station."

Half an hour later, a group of people appeared at Jiangcheng Railway Station.

"Godfather and Godmother, please take care of yourselves."

"Zhenbei Jiaxin, when you two return to Daoxiangtun, you must listen to your godparents, study hard, and strive to pass the exam to get into Jiangcheng tomorrow. My brother and sister-in-law and I will be waiting for you in Jiangcheng."

Seeing that they were about to part, Song Sixiao reluctantly held the hands of Xie Pingan and Xu Hongyu.

"Your godfather and I will take good care of ourselves, so you don't have to worry about us."

"I'll help you report to your parents that you're safe."

What Xu Hongyu is most worried about now is Song Sixiao.

Although he is not my biological child, he has grown up in my side for so many years that he is no different from my biological child.

"Go to bed early tonight and get enough rest for the interview at Red Sun Publishing House tomorrow."

"I heard from your sister-in-law that Red Sun Publishing House is a good state-owned enterprise. Working there has a bright future. If you are accepted into the interview, remember to write a letter to inform your godparents."

"Ah."

Song Sixiao's eyes were red and she nodded with a sob.

"I will."

"Silly girl, why are you crying?"

Xu Hongyu touched her pretty face.

"It's a good thing to stay in Jiangcheng and find a job. We should be happy."

"Once my job is stable and I've established myself in Jiangcheng, I'll find a partner there."

Xu Hongyu's eyes and nose were already red from crying, and when Xu Hongyu asked her to find a partner, her eyes and nose became even redder.

"Godmother, I'm still young and there's no need to rush to find a partner."

"You're already twenty, what's so small? When your godmother was your age, she was already married to your godfather."

"Get married early, have children early, and enjoy happiness early. But if you find a partner, you have to ask your elder brother and sister-in-law for their approval."

Xu Hongyu glanced at Xie Zhennan.

"Although your eldest brother has no luck with women and didn't find a wife until he was 28, he has a good eye for people."

Yun Jiaojiao felt very happy.

The mother-in-law praised her again.

"Godmother, I understand."

Afraid that Xu Hongyu would bring up the topic, Song Sixiao quickly agreed to her wishes.

"It's almost time to check in. If my godparents have anything to tell my brother and sister-in-law, please tell them quickly."

Song Sixiao let go of Xu Hongyu and Xie Ping'an's hands and stepped aside.

Xu Hongyu took a delicate step towards Xie Zhennan.

Xie Zhennan thought that the old lady had something to tell him, so he quickly moved towards her, but unexpectedly, she walked right past him...

"Jiaojiao, the two washboards your dad carved for you are now in the guesthouse."

"There's still a little work to be done. Comrade Liu from the guesthouse said he can do it. Your father has left the two washboards at the guesthouse. In two or three days, go get them from Comrade Liu at the guesthouse."

Xie Zhennan: “…”

These are really his biological parents!

Yun Jiaojiao nodded heavily in agreement with Xu Hongyu's words.

"Yeah, I'll get it."

"Thank you for your hard work, Dad."

"It's just a little hand work. Your father won't be tired. You don't have to be polite to him."

Xu Hongyu held Yun Jiaojiao's hand tightly and continued to explain.

"Your father and I raised three pigs this year, and we can slaughter them during the Chinese New Year. If Zhennan has a family leave during the Chinese New Year, you can go back to Daoxiangtun with Zhennan, and Mom will cook a pig-killing dish for you."

The pig-killing dishes are especially delicious.

Yun Jiaojiao's eyes were full of anticipation.

"Boss Zhennan is not a child anymore, you guys..."

Xu Hongyu suddenly became hesitant to speak.

Yun Jiaojiao: “???”

"Mom, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Xu Hongyu gritted her teeth and said, "Zhennan is not a child anymore. If you have the conditions, it's best to have a child as soon as possible. I'm afraid that if it's delayed, Zhennan won't be able to do it."

Xie Zhennan: “…”

It’s fine if he just made a feather duster and a washboard for his wife, but now he’s actually pulling his wife’s hand and saying she can’t do it!

In his 28 years of life, this was the first time he had seen parents like this.

Looking at Xie Zhennan's frown that looked like it could kill a fly, Yun Jiaojiao knew that he had heard it.

Yun Jiaojiao gave him a sympathetic look.

"Mom, Zhennan and I will work hard."

Yun Jiaojiao also wants to have a child with Xie Zhennan as soon as possible.

The sooner you have children, the sooner you will enjoy happiness.

By then the child will be eighteen and she will be forty-one. If she dresses up nicely, maybe she can even pretend to be the child's sibling or sister.

"If I get pregnant, I'll write to you and dad right away."

Xu Hongyu immediately smiled.

Yun Jiaojiao just turned twenty-three and is still young both physically and mentally. In the past few days, she has been worried that Yun Jiaojiao would resist the idea of having a baby, so she waited until now to say it out loud.

"Mom is so happy that you are willing to have a baby now."

"Just write to me and tell me what you want to eat. As long as it's available in Daoxiangtun, I'll mail it to you."

"Mom, it's almost time to check in. You and Dad should quickly take Zhenbei and Jiaxin to line up for ticket checking."

Xie Zhennan interrupted Xu Hongyu.

Without waiting for Xu Hongyu's response, he had already walked towards the ticket gate carrying two large bags.

Although the little brat is cute, he doesn't want it now.

After being a bachelor for twenty-eight years, he finally married such a satisfactory wife. He wanted to live a shameless life with her.

"Xie Zhennan, there are still ten minutes until ticket checking, why are you in such a hurry?"

Xu Hongyu caught up with Xie Zhennan and pinched his arm angrily.

"Don't you want a child yet?"
