"Tongzi, are these jewellery clean?"

"clean."

"This jewelry box is made of huanghuali wood and is very valuable."

"You can leave it to the girl as a dowry in the future!"

The system has already thought about the child's marriage before the child is even born.

"No, I want to use it."

Xu Qingluo immediately hugged the jewelry box tightly in her arms. Such a good thing must be used first by her as a mother!

Only after she has enjoyed herself can it be the child's turn.

"Host, you are so naive."

"as long as you are happy."

It was rare for the system not to argue with her. In the past, it would have argued with her about the superiority of the system, but today it did not argue with her.

"Tongzi, there's something wrong with you."

"Why don't you argue with me?"

Xu Qingluo was still not used to her system being so obedient. When the system was not making any noise, she always felt that a big wave was waiting for her.

The system rolled its eyes silently, then looked at her lower abdomen with stars twinkling in its eyes.

"Your dear system is being upgraded, please do not disturb."

Xu Qingluo: "......."

Who is the host?

Xu Qingluo put the jewelry box in her arms and gave Zhou Yuheng a look that said "understanding." Zhou Yuheng smiled dumbly.

"Let's go."

"Mom and the kids are almost awake."

"it is good."

The couple returned to the guesthouse. The weather was just right at four o'clock in the afternoon, so they took their children to the Confucius Temple for a visit, which was just the right time for dinner.

On the third day, they went to the Nanjing Museum and the Presidential Palace.

On the fourth day, the family slept in and set off for their next destination: Suzhou.

Xu Qingluo grew up in Su City with his grandpa and grandma Xu. When they came to Su City, they didn't need to stay in a guesthouse, they could just live in the courtyard in the city.

Xu Qingluo had the key to her house, and her room in Su City had been there all the time, and nothing inside had been moved.

Ever since Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu went to Kyoto, they gave the key to the house to Grandpa Xu.

Usually, the younger generations of Grandpa Xu would come to help with cleaning.

All of Xu's relatives are developing in Suzhou. They hold various educational positions in Suzhou, and all family members are intellectuals.

Grandpa Xu (Grandpa Xu’s eldest brother) worked in the Suzhou Education Bureau before his retirement and was the director of the Suzhou Education Bureau.

The other younger generations either work in the Education Bureau or are teachers in Suzhou universities or high schools.

In short, the family is well-educated, they speak and act reasonably, and there are no conflicts in the family.

They help each other. Even though there are many people in the family and the house is crowded, they will not miss the empty yard of Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu.

Instead, they often come to help with cleaning. They look forward to the return of Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu's family, as home is always there.

The Xu family's courtyard is near Pingjiang Road. The courtyards in this area have local garden designs, which are simple and beautiful.

"The buildings in Suzhou are beautiful."

The more Zhou's mother looked at the garden design of Suzhou, the more she liked it. Suzhou's gardens and Lion Grove are definitely worth seeing.

Xu Qingluo was familiar with Suzhou, so they didn't need to ask for directions. They just had to follow Xu Qingluo's instructions and arrangements.

"Is this the room you lived in before?"

It was Zhou Yuheng's first time in Suzhou, and it was also his first time to come to the room where his wife had lived since she was a child.

The room is square and its layout is the best in the entire courtyard.

The beds in Suzhou are all made of iron bed frames with wooden boards on top, and a thin quilt on top as a mattress.

Is Xu Qingluo's mattress a thin quilt? Her mattress was bought from Kyoto by Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu.

There is a bedside table next to the bed, and the desk is next to the window. When you open the window, you can see the trees in the yard.

Inside the closet were her old clothes, clothes from her teenage years that no longer fit her.

But Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu were reluctant to throw it away or give it away, so they kept it in the closet.

Before, Xu Qingluo left Su City and went to Hai City to live with Xu's father and mother. When Grandpa and Grandma Xu missed her, they would come to her room and stay for a while.

Looking at her childhood clothes and toys, it’s as if her granddaughter is still around.

Her room was a safe haven for the two elders when they missed her.

There are three rooms in the yard, one is Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu's room, and the other is a guest room.

Xu Qingluo tidied up the guest room, laid out the bedding and other things, and let Zhou's mother sleep there with her child tonight.

As for who sleeps with Zhou's mother, it depends on whether the two brothers Xiaoman and Xiaoyuan will win the guessing game.

"Okay, this room is clean."

Zhou's mother felt that the yard did not look like it had been uninhabited for a long time. The yard and bedding were all clean, and it was obvious that someone came to clean it regularly.

"Usually, the uncles and aunts from my great-grandfather's family would come to help with the cleaning."

"No wonder."

"Let's just pack up and take the kids out for dinner."

"Row."

Xu Qingluo and the others packed their luggage. Since they were at home, they didn't have to be as vigilant as they were in the guesthouse, and they didn't have to carry anything with them all the time.

It takes four hours to drive from Nanjing to Suzhou, and by the time I was done packing it was just time for dinner.

The delicacies in Suzhou tend to be sweet, and Xu Qingluo was worried that the two children and Zhou's mother would not be able to adapt to the local climate and the food.

So their first meal in Suzhou was at a state-owned restaurant.

Today, state-owned restaurants have crab roe noodles, pork chop noodles, braised pork, meat buns, braised fish and squirrel mandarin fish.

This squirrel mandarin fish... actually tastes really average and is quite greasy.

Even Xu Qingluo, a native of Suzhou, doesn't like this dish very much. She prefers braised fish instead.

"Xiao Luo, is this squirrel mandarin fish delicious?"

Xu Qingluo really wanted to say that it was not tasty, but it was the first time for Zhou's mother and the children to come to Su City, so they had to try it anyway.

"Mom, we can order a fish to try tomorrow."

“It tastes sweet and sour, a little sweet.”

When Zhou's mother heard that her daughter-in-law wanted to order it to try tomorrow, she knew that the fish might taste a little strange.

However, since she rarely comes to Su City, she naturally wants to taste it.

"Okay, then we'll have braised fish today."

"it is good."

Xu Qingluo ordered a braised fish, braised pork, stir-fried vegetables, rice, a bowl of crab roe noodles, and a bowl of pork chop noodles.

"Waiter, please bring two small bowls."

Xu Qingluo gave some crab roe noodles to Zhou's mother and Zhou Yuheng to try. The crab roe noodles here are very authentic.

However, Xu Qingluo didn't dare to share it with her two children. She was afraid that the two children would get stomach upset after eating seafood.

Xu Qingluo looked at the eager eyes of her two sons and her heart softened. She patiently explained to them.

"You just arrived in Su City, so it's easy for you to feel uncomfortable with the climate."

"Let's have some home cooking today."

"Can I order some crab roe noodles for you to try tomorrow?"

"Ok."

Xiaoman and Xiaoyuan are reasonable children. They will not make a fuss as long as the reason is explained to them.
