Wei Huozhen nodded. Xu Qingluo and he naturally had nothing to talk about, but everyone's eyes were on Xu Qingluo's neck.

The dress Xu Qingluo was wearing today was a wedding gift from Xu Ersao. It was the purple dress she had bought at the Overseas Chinese Store.

Xu Qingluo's summer clothes really don't have any high collars. Zhou Yuheng was quite restrained last night and didn't leave any marks on her neck, but Xu Qingluo's skin was delicate, so there were still one or two red spots on her neck.

If you don't look closely, you can't tell, but everyone in the Zhou family is a soldier, and their eyes are very sharp, so she can't escape even if she wants to.

Fortunately, Zhou's mother stood up in time to save her, and Xu Qingluo was no longer treated like a monkey by everyone.

"I'm going to prepare lunch."

"It just so happens that our family is all together, so let's have lunch together at noon."

"Mom, I'll go help you."

Zhou Yushu went to help, and Xu Qingluo also stood up. Mother Zhou quickly pressed her shoulders and asked her to sit down and rest: "Xiaoluo, just have a good rest."

"Sister-in-law, please sit down. It's just a matter of making noodles. It will be quick."

"Just sit and wait for your meal."

Zhou Yushu said a few words quickly, and Xu Qingluo felt a little embarrassed. Zhou Yuheng reached out and pulled her down to sit down, then looked at Zhou's mother and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mom."

Zhou Yushu: “….”

I'm not tired, right?

Xu Qingluo saw the unhappy expression on Zhou Yushu's face and quickly said, "Thank you for your hard work, little sister."

Zhou Yushu's face instantly turned into a smile, and then he waved his hand cheerfully: "It's all a small matter, sister-in-law, just sit down and wait for your meal."

After Zhou Yushu finished speaking, he glared at Zhou Yuheng, then pulled Zhou's mother to the kitchen. Zhou Yuheng ignored her gaze and handed the warm water on the table to Xu Qingluo.

Xu Qingluo took it with a smile. Wei Huozhen raised his eyebrows at the actions of his brother-in-law opposite him, then glanced at Xu Qingluo and understood.

Zhou's mother had already fermented the noodles, so all she had to do was put them in the pot and cook them, and lunch would be ready.

Xu Qingluo was a little hungry. Zhou's mother cooked some chicken noodle soup. There was still chicken soup in the pot for her, but the chicken soup was only cooked a short time ago and had not yet absorbed the flavor.

Although the chicken soup is not cooked yet, it is still delicious to scoop out some of the semi-finished soup and use it to cook noodles. This way, I don’t have to make a separate soup base for the noodles at noon.

There was not only a chicken leg on Xu Qingluo's noodles, but also a fried egg and vegetables. The chicken leg was specially picked up for her by Zhou's mother.

"Let's just have a simple meal. We have to dine with your second uncle's family tonight, so let's not make too much trouble."

There is meat, eggs, vegetables and noodles. In this day and age, such a lunch is not simple at all.

"Xiao Luo, Mom will get you some more chicken."

Zhou's mother was most afraid that she would not have enough to eat. After all, the whole family knew about the sin her son had committed last night.

Xu Qingluo quickly refused. She couldn't eat that much. The chicken leg was huge and had a lot of meat. "Mom, I've had enough."

"There's chicken soup in the pot, and there's quite a bit of meat in it."

"Don't be embarrassed to starve yourself."

Zhou's mother always felt that she was embarrassed to say it, but Xu Qingluo really ate a lot. Her appetite was so small that she really couldn't eat so much meat.

"Mom, I really have enough to eat."

"You're really welcome."

Xu Qingluo looked at Zhou's mother with sincerity in her eyes. Zhou's mother really couldn't stand her watery eyes. Girls in Kyoto tend to have cheerful personalities.

But Xu Qingluo is a native of Suzhou. Sometimes, no matter her actions or words, she subconsciously shows the tenderness of a Suzhou girl.

She is the first person in the Zhou family to have such a temper. Mother Zhou likes her and hopes that her daughter-in-law can change the family's gene of "subduing people with force".

Seeing that she was not lying, Zhou's mother sat back in her seat with relief.

"Okay, okay, then tell Mom if you don't have enough to eat."

Zhou's mother's tone also softened. Zhou Yushu looked at her mother, and then her eyes were full of disbelief. Isn't it... her mother is possessed by evil spirits?

"Okay, thank you, Mom."

Mother Zhou's smile widened when she received her sweet thanks. Xu Qingluo loved noodles, and she was also hungry, so she ate up all the noodles that Mother Zhou served her.

"Mom's cooking is really good."

After finishing the meal, Xu Qingluo did not forget to praise Zhou's mother for her good cooking skills. Zhou's mother was really grinning from ear to ear: "If you like it, mom will make it for you tomorrow."

Zhou Yushu looked at Xu Qingluo opposite her, and was filled with admiration in her heart. Her sister-in-law only said a few words and made her mother so happy that she lost her mind. She was really amazing.

After the family had eaten and drunk their fill, Zhou's mother didn't let her wash the dishes or do any other work. Instead, she asked her to get ready and go downstairs to serve tea to the old man and old lady.

Xu Qingluo did need to prepare some red envelopes. According to custom, after serving tea, she also had to give red envelopes to the Zhou family children.

Xu Qingluo went upstairs and opened her dowry box. Her mother had thought of everything, even the red envelopes for the Zhou children after the tea ceremony were wrapped up for her and placed in the dowry box.

Xu Qingluo tugged at the corner of Zhou Yuheng's clothes. Zhou Yuheng squatted down and looked at him: "What's wrong?"

"How many children?"

"Including Xiaodong, there are eight children in total."

Xu Qingluo was a little surprised to hear so many children. There were really quite a lot of people in his second uncle's family this week. There were eight children among his great-grandchildren alone.

Just in case, Xu Qingluo took ten red envelopes with him to avoid any unexpected situation that would make him a laughing stock.

Xu Qingluo locked the box, then put the red envelope in Zhou Yuheng's pocket, braided her hair into a side ponytail, went downstairs and went out with Zhou Yuheng.

Zhou's father and mother went to the next room ahead of time. After all, they also needed to drink tea, so they needed to go and sit down and wait in advance.

Xu Qingluo was really a little nervous, although she had met Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou when she was a child, and had also visited Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou when she returned to China with her parents to visit relatives.

But this was the first time she met him formally as his grandson's wife, and she felt an indescribable nervousness more than usual.

Xu Qingluo was distracted for a moment, and Zhou Yuheng held her hand. His hand was very big, completely wrapping her hand in it, as if to comfort her and give her confidence.

Xu Qingluo looked up and saw the comforting look in Zhou Yuheng's eyes and smiled. After taking a deep breath, she followed Zhou Yuheng into the house and into the living room.

When the elders saw them walking in hand in hand, they all had unspeakable smiles on their faces. Grandpa Zhou touched his white beard and then looked at Zhou Yuheng again.

When he saw the peace that Zhou Yuheng never emanated, Grandpa Zhou's wise eyes gradually became filled with smiles.

Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou sat in the main seats, Father and Mother Zhou sat on Grandpa Zhou’s left, Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou sat on Grandma Zhou’s right, and the younger generations of the Zhou family also stood nearby.
