After the marriage, the charming educated youth is eye-catching

"Just think about it, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. You're my fiancée, you can think about me openly. Don't worry, I'll marry you and you'll be able to see me every day."

Zhao Huaian acted as if he didn't care about Zhong Xuexi's "reputation" at all, and said whatever he wanted.

"Who's in a hurry to marry you! I... I don't want to bother with you!" Zhong Xuexi was angry and embarrassed, she pushed him away angrily and ran into the house.

"daughter in law!"

Zhao Huaian shouted at her back, then turned to the crowd and said helplessly, "It seems I'll have to show my affection in front of you more often in the future. Once she gets used to it, she won't be so shy anymore."

Ruan Qing's mouth twitched, disgusted and speechless, "Get out!"

Lin Ziqiu smiled helplessly, "Since Huaian is here today, why not do it today? Zhong Zhiyang, go and invite Zhao Huaian home for dinner."

"Brother Huai Nian is not free today. I told him about dinner when my eldest brother came to pick me up." Zhong Zhiyang thought for a moment, "Does anyone have any vegetables at home? Should I go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some?"

Lin Ziqiu shook his head, "No need, your elder brother has already gone."

After sending Zhong Zhiyang home, Zhong Heyang rode his bike to the supply and marketing cooperative, but he didn't know if there were any pork ribs or anything else at this time.

"Okay, I'll go cook."

Zhong Zhiyang is a hardworking person who wants to do what he can for his family.

As soon as he left, Ruan Qing leaned against Lin Ziqiu and whispered, "I really feel like he's changed a bit."

"It's good that he's changed. It's worth all the effort we put into saving him." Lin Ziqiu dusted off his hands and weighed the peanuts in the basket. "You've been a big help, so eat more later."

Ruan Qing narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I want to drink."

Although Lin Ziqiu couldn't hold his liquor well, he had a strong appetite for food. After hearing what she said, he actually felt a little greedy. "Whatever you want to drink, just pick it. Today is indeed a good day for a drink."

Ruan Qing was very excited and clapped his hands, "Give me the most expensive wine!"

···

It was a rare occasion for the whole family to get together, and Tian Gui and his team also took Old Man Tian out of the hospital. Because of the housing issue, the higher-ups had already coordinated and arranged for some people to temporarily live in the staff quarters of various state-owned factories.

Based on the principle of proximity, Tian Gui and his colleagues were assigned to the textile factory's staff quarters.

So today they planned to come and say goodbye, and also to express their gratitude for the care they had received from the Zhong family during this period.

Lin Ziqiu cooked personally, Tian Gui assisted, and Old Man Li was the overall commander. This was the first time that such a large table of dishes was prepared after the rainstorm.

Twelve dishes, one soup, and dumplings.

Li Guixiang slept for a few more hours and felt much more energetic. The most important thing was that her grandson returned safely and her heart was at peace.

She placed a plate of dumplings on Zhong Heyang's table. "During the Chinese New Year, you were on the front lines helping with disaster relief. I'm afraid you didn't even have a full meal. Xiaoqiu and I made these dumplings especially for you. You should eat a few more tonight."

Zhong Heyang placed his hand under the table and involuntarily grasped Lin Ziqiu's hand beside him. He tilted his head to look at her with eyes full of attachment, "Thank you for your hard work when I was not at home."

In such a critical moment, the man in the family should shoulder the responsibility of supporting the entire family.

But he has a heavy responsibility. Although he has done his best to serve the motherland and the people, the people he owes the most are his closest family members.

Lin Ziqiu was a little shy and blushed as she said, "You protect everyone, and I'll protect our small family. It's not hard, it's what I should do."

Zhong Xuexi was cheering from the side, looking like she was saying, "I got drunk again!" "You two have a drink!"

"Let's drink from the wedding cup! Come on! Come on!" Zhao Huaian immediately agreed.

Zhong Heyang was somewhat moved, his eyes always on Lin Ziqiu, as if waiting for her consent.

Lin Ziqiu felt embarrassed by his burning gaze. She mustered up the courage to pick up the wine glass and said, "Then... then, let's have a drink?"

Zhong Heyang raised the corners of his lips, holding the wine glass and intertwining his hands with hers.

The two looked at each other and drank the wine in tacit understanding.

"Wow~"

Zhong Xuexi and the others cheered on the side, "Now that we've drunk the wedding wine, can we enter the bridal chamber tonight?"

Lin Ziqiu and his wife have been married for half a year, but they have not yet consummated their marriage.

Naturally, the others didn't know about this, and Zhong Xuexi was just joking, but the two parties involved took it to heart. They looked up at each other, blushed, and looked away at the same time.

Old Master Li echoed, "He Yang is not young anymore, Xiao Qiu, you should hurry up and have a child."

Lin Ziqiu's pupils suddenly shrank, and he said anxiously, "Grandpa!"

Seeing that she was shy, Mr. Li didn't intend to stop and continued to nod at the man beside her, "He Yang, you have to work hard. While I can still move, quickly give me a great-grandson to hug."

Zhong Heyang coughed twice, his ears flushed red, "Yes, I will continue to work hard in the future."

When she heard the man's smiling voice, Lin Ziqiu felt that her heart was about to jump out of her throat. She suddenly understood the pain of Ruan Qing being urged to get married.

This kind of pressure to have a baby is even more terrifying than pressure to get married.

If there was a crack in the ground, she really wanted to crawl into it.

After urging them, everyone turned the topic to the next person.

Zhong Zhiyang quickly raised his glass and began to toast, thanking the elders present one by one.

After a few drinks, his face turned red.

Tian Xiaofeng tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "You're drunk, don't drink anymore."

"I... I'm not drunk!" Zhong Zhiyang's tongue was barely straight. He looked at Mr. Li with a smile, "I'll drink with you tonight. I won't leave until I'm drunk!"

Mr. Li has a very good alcohol tolerance. He looked at the 'small braised vegetables' in front of him and smiled without saying a word.

It had been a long time since he had a good drink. Since this was a rare opportunity, he naturally allowed a few juniors to accompany him.

Lin Ziqiu kept his head focused on eating. Occasionally, when he was toasted, he would take a sip but didn't interrupt, for fear of bringing more trouble to himself.

After eating and drinking her fill, she propped up her head and watched Ruan Qing and Old Man Li drinking together. The wine tonight was very strong and had a strong aftereffect, and she felt a little drunk.

Zhong Heyang quietly took Lin Ziqiu's hand under the table, leaned against her side and whispered, "Don't feel pressured by the elders' words. We should just let things take their course."

Lin Ziqiu turned her head to look at him, and felt that there were several double images of the man in front of her, but the man's stern face still made her unable to take her eyes off him.

She gave the man a bright smile, "That's great."

"Hmm? What's so good?"

Zhong Heyang didn't understand what she meant.

Lin Ziqiu moved closer to the man little by little, and her warm breath sprinkled on his brow, lightly brushing across it, bringing a subtle itch.

Zhong Heyang's Adam's apple slid up and down, and the remaining smell of alcohol lingered on the tip of his nose, accompanied by the faint fruity fragrance emanating from her body, making him feel a little drunk.
