"Okay, hard work."

Father Xu looked at Mother Xu with gentleness in his eyes. Mother Xu smiled and ate a grape, then told Xu Qingluo not to go out to play tomorrow.

"Don't go out tomorrow. Go to the supply and marketing cooperative in the morning and queue up to buy meat. Also, buy some cakes to entertain guests."

Xu Qingluo has an important task. She has to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy food for the guests at home tomorrow.

"it is good."

Xu Qingluo agreed immediately, and after this period of training, his cooking skills had improved, so it was no problem for him to help Xu's mother.

The next morning, Xu Qingluo took the money and notes given by her mother to the supply and marketing cooperative. The government compound was close to the supply and marketing cooperative, and she could walk there.

The supply and marketing cooperatives in those days were all red brick buildings, just like state-owned restaurants. Above the gate was a five-pointed star with the words "Serve the People" in large letters.

The stalls in the supply and marketing cooperative are surrounded by glass cabinets, which display the items for sale at a glance so that everyone can choose.

There is a row of large cabinets at the back, and the salesperson stands between the large cabinets and the glass cabinets. Just tell the salesperson what you want.

After the salesperson takes the money and receipt, he will go to the big cabinet at the back to give you the goods.

Xu Qingluo went to the meat stall to queue up as soon as possible. These days, you have to queue up early in the morning to buy meat, and the earlier you buy it, the more fat and water the meat will have.

Xu Qingluo bought a piece of pork and a pair of spareribs as instructed by his mother, and also went to buy some eggs and fresh vegetables.

After buying the ingredients, Xu Qingluo went to buy cakes and melon seeds to entertain the guests. When he left the supply and marketing cooperative, he passed by a man in military uniform.

The man in military uniform turned around and looked at her back as she left. He always felt that this girl gave him a very familiar feeling.

Zhou Yuheng couldn't figure out where he had seen it before, so he put his doubts aside and went to buy things.

Not long after Xu Qingluo returned home after shopping, Xu's mother also came back. Lunch was packed by Xu's mother from the canteen of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The two of them had a quick meal, and after lunch Xu's mother began to prepare the dishes. Xu Qingluo took out the cakes and melon seeds to entertain the guests and placed them on the coffee table.

"Xiao Luo, go change your clothes and dress up for me."

"My clothes are fine."

Xu Qingluo felt that there was nothing wrong with the clothes she was wearing. However, her mother took one look at her gray dress and couldn't help but look disgusted.

Then he took out a light blue skirt from her closet and ordered her to change into it.

"Wear this."

"Mom, this is really unnecessary, right?"

"It's necessary. When I first met your father, he was attracted by my temperament..."

Xu Qingluo: “….”

Here they show their affection again.

"Mom, I'll change right away."

Xu Qingluo didn't want to listen to her parents' love story anymore. She had heard it a lot recently and it gave her goosebumps.

"Hurry up and change it. You have to leave a good impression on Xiaoheng."

Xu Qingluo curled her lips. She was young and beautiful. Even without changing her clothes, she would still be a beauty!

But Xu's mother's eyes were full of threats. Xu Qingluo was well-behaved and obedient. She not only changed into a skirt, but also braided her hair and even put on lip balm.

Xu Qingluo has a good temperament. When she puts on a light blue dress, she looks more gentle and virtuous, which is somewhat similar to the temperament of her mother Xu.

Xu Qingluo changed her clothes and went downstairs. When Xu's mother saw her, her eyes lit up instantly and were full of love.

Her daughter is pretty, but she rarely dresses up. Now her dress-up is really eye-catching.

Xu's mother took her around twice, and then her eyes were full of pride. Such a beautiful person was given birth by her.

"nice."

"Dress up more in the future and don't always wear those dark-colored clothes."

"Especially after you get married, you can't give up a woman's right to be beautiful."

Xu's mother is open-minded and has a broad vision. Even though she has given birth to three children, she is now a grandmother.

But she has never given up on "beauty" for the sake of her family. She knows better than anyone that once a woman gives up, it will be difficult for her to dress up again.

"Besides, our family is not without such conditions. As long as it is in accordance with the rules, there is no need to put yourself in a difficult position."

Xu Qingluo smiled and nodded. She really liked the ideas of Xu's father and mother. Their ideas were more open-minded than those of parents in later generations.

"Okay, I'll definitely dress up more in the future."

Xu's mother pulled her to look at it again. The more she looked, the happier and prouder she felt. Xu's mother looked at the time. It was already four o'clock in the afternoon, so she had to start preparing dinner.

"Mom, I'll go help you."

"No, you're dressed so beautifully today, how can I ask you to cook?"

"Go to the yard and help me water the flowers. Your Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou will be here soon."

"it is good."

Xu Qingluo's tone was soft, and Xu's mother couldn't help but burst out with maternal love, so she reached out and pinched her cheek.

Xu Qingluo went to the yard to water the flowers. Many flowers in the house were in bloom and the fragrance was strong. Xu Qingluo lowered his head and smelled them.

Butterflies were flying among the flowers, and leaves from the trees were blown down and fell onto Xu Qingluo's shoulders. A smile appeared on Xu Qingluo's face, and she picked up the leaves from her shoulders and looked at them carefully towards the sun.

Xu Qingluo had no idea that there were three people standing at the door of his house. They were Zhou's father, Zhou's mother and Zhou Yuheng.

Zhou Yuheng looked at the girl in the yard, his mind full of thoughts. At this moment, he finally understood why he felt that the girl was familiar at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative in the morning.

Mother Zhou poked Zhou Yuheng on the back, and Zhou Yuheng came to his senses and knocked on the door beside him.

Xu Qingluo was immersed in observing the patterns on the leaves when he was startled by a sudden knock on the door.

Zhou Yuheng lowered his eyes when he saw her frightened look. He didn't expect Xu Qingluo to be so timid.

"You little brat, you scared Xiao Luo."

Mother Zhou pushed Zhou Yuheng away in annoyance, then walked forward with a smile and took Xu Qingluo's hand.

"Are you Xiao Luo? I haven't seen you for many years, and I can hardly recognize you."

"I am, you are?"

When Zhou's mother heard that she was Xu Qingluo, the smile on her face became even wider, and then she took her hand affectionately.

"Xiao Luo has grown so big already? Come and let your aunt have a good look."

When Xu Qingluo was six years old, she followed her grandpa and grandma back to Suzhou. The last time her father and mother saw her was six years ago.

Six years ago, Xu Qingluo accompanied Grandpa Xu to the Kyoto compound to provide psychological treatment for a patient. Grandpa Xu often took her to the Zhou family for tea.

"I'm your Aunt Zhou, don't you remember?"

"I remember, hello Aunt Zhou."

Xu Qingluo's voice was as soft and delicate as a girl from Suzhou. When Zhou's mother heard it, her heart instantly felt sweet.

"Okay, okay, that's your Uncle Zhou, and that's my son Zhou Yuheng."

Zhou's father smiled at Xu Qingluo. Zhou's father looked intimidating and had an imposing and domineering aura, with the blood and oppressive feeling of a soldier.

Zhou Yuheng inherited his father's personality as he was quiet and expressionless, so when the two of them stood there, Xu Qingluo was a little frightened by their aura.
