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

He's been very clingy lately, and Lin Ziqiu is no longer as shy as before. However, she still coughed twice and said, "There's someone here, be careful."

Zhong Heyang disagreed, "I kiss my wife, it's only natural!" Two guests arrived when they were halfway through the hot pot.

Li Guixiang quickly went over to him with a smile, "I went to look for you this afternoon but didn't see you. Where have you been?"

Shen Xiu introduced her nephew to her, "This is my nephew Song Hui. We are leaving for my mother's family tomorrow. I went with him to buy some local specialties and plan to bring some back to give to relatives and friends."

This was Song Hui's first time visiting the Zhong family.

"Aunt Li, excuse me for bothering you. These are specialties from our Su City. They are some tea, cakes, and candied fruits. I'll give them to you to try. If you like them, I'll send them to you when I return to Su City."

He leaned forward slightly, and his voice was calm and soft, which made people feel very comfortable.

Song Hui handed over the specialty in his hand.

Li Guixiang looked at Song Hui for a few times, her eyes full of admiration, and said with a smile: "You just came here, why did you bring so many things? You are so polite!"

Shen Xiu took her arm and said, "Hurry up and put it away. I'm hungry."

"Come in quickly, we are eating!"

The three of them entered the main room together, and several younger generations greeted Shen Xiu one after another. Zhong Zhiyang was very perceptive and had already gone to the kitchen to get two sets of bowls and chopsticks.

As soon as Song Hui entered, his eyes unconsciously fell on Lin Ziqiu, but before he could stay there for a few seconds, he was forced back by the extremely dangerous and oppressive look of the man next to her.

Li Guixiang sat next to Shen Xiu and asked with a smile, "Xiaohui is so handsome, is he married?"

"Not yet! He'll be almost thirty in a few months, and his family is worried about his marriage."

Shen Xiu couldn't help but sigh. Song Hui was the most promising child of their generation. He was admitted to the top institution of learning with the highest score in the province.

Later, when he encountered educated youth going to the countryside, he chose to study abroad. He returned after completing his studies a few years ago and is now considered outstanding in the architectural field.

"At thirty, you should have gotten married, but who can say for sure about fate? Look at He Yang. Before we got married, I couldn't sleep for nights, I was so anxious and irritated! Who knew that he would be the one who gives me the least worry now! Marrying a girl like Xiao Qiu is a blessing for our Zhong family!"

Li Guixiang's face was filled with a smile of relief and pride.

"You know what, it's really fate that Xiaoqiu, such a good girl, can marry He Yang!"

Shen Xiu also liked Lin Ziqiu very much. For some reason, she felt very close to her from the first time she saw her.

"Aunt, I finally escaped my mother's curse of urging me to get married, and now you've started it again. You really won't leave me any chance to survive!"

Song Hui looks gentle and refined, but he actually speaks very humorously, especially in front of his elders. He is particularly polite, knows when to advance and retreat, and has high emotional intelligence.

As soon as the words fell, Shen Xiu flicked his forehead and said, "Then why don't you hurry up and find a wife and bring her home? Then everyone will be happy, right?"

Song Hui covered his forehead in pain, somewhat helplessly, "Auntie said, who can say for sure about fate? Even the matchmaker in heaven is very busy. Maybe it will be my turn next time."

"Look at him, he's always spouting nonsense." Shen Xiu pointed at him, scolding him with a smile, "If you don't consider yourself, you should at least consider Qiaoqiao! You, the eldest brother, haven't gotten married yet, so how can she, the younger sister, get married?"

Song Qiao is the youngest daughter and adopted daughter of the Song family.

She is eight years younger than Song Hui and works as an obstetrician and gynecologist at Suzhou First People's Hospital.

Speaking of his sister, Song Hui's expression was rather cold. "If she wants to get married, that's her business. It has nothing to do with me."

Shen Xiu noticed his mood change and said nothing more, "Alright, alright, let's eat first. You said on the way here that you wanted to eat Xiaoqiu's cooking. Today you are in for a treat."

Originally, Lin Ziqiu was thinking of leaving for Su City tomorrow and might stay for about a week, so he thought of making a delicious meal for everyone before leaving.

However, when Li Guixiang went to call Shen Xiu in the afternoon, she was not there. But when she came back, she heard about this from her neighbors and rushed over.

Song Hui tilted his head and glanced at Lin Ziqiu meaningfully, his eyes full of tenderness. "Miss Xiaoqiu's cooking skills are truly exceptional. Looks like I'm going to eat too much tonight."

Ever since he met Lin Ziqiu at the state-owned restaurant, he would go there to show his support almost every day.

Even though he could only see her busy figure in the kitchen from afar, he was still very satisfied. After learning that Lin Ziqiu was willing to go to Su City to cook for his grandmother's birthday banquet, he was so happy that he almost couldn't sleep all night.

"Mr. Song, thank you for your compliment."

Lin Ziqiu responded with a polite smile. She was not familiar with Song Hui, but the other party was Aunt Shen's nephew. Everyone who came was a guest, so politeness was the right thing to do.

Zhong Heyang unconsciously clenched his hand under the table around Lin Ziqiu's. He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Are you full? How about we go out and digest the food?"

Lin Ziqiu didn't have a big appetite. She only ate half a bowl of rice at night and was full now. Moreover, she was not like other people who thought that new dishes they had never eaten were delicious. These were too common for her.

"Okay."

She stood up and said to the others, "Take your time to eat, we'll go out for a walk."

Li Guixiang asked worriedly, "How much have you eaten? Are you full? Eat some more!"

Zhong Xuexi held her back and said, "Grandma, my sister-in-law is leaving tomorrow. Please don't interrupt their loving relationship."

After being reminded by her daughter, Li Guixiang suddenly understood something and couldn't stop smiling, "I was confused. I'm old and useless!"

The others also had expressions as if they were being fed dog food.

Only Song Hui looked at Lin Ziqiu's departing back, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.

···

Zhong Heyang held Lin Ziqiu's hand and put it in his coat pocket because he was afraid she would be cold. "Spring is coming soon. Do you like wearing skirts?"

"A skirt? I wouldn't say I like it. I don't have any requirements for clothes. As long as I can wear it, it's fine."

Lin Ziqiu actually liked skirts very much when she was a child.

Every summer, my mother would buy the most popular fabrics and ask a tailor to make beautiful dresses for her.

Even her school bag is different from others and looks very nice.

Later she went missing, and Lin Dahai married Zhang Xiumei. Lin Mengyao was about the same size as her at the time, and her skirt was taken away.

When they grew up a little, let alone new skirts, she even wore clothes that Lin Mengyao didn't want, and her pair of pants had several patches on it.

In addition, she suffered from long-term malnutrition and did not have enough food, so she became the thinnest person in the family.

Yet, she still shoulders the heavy workload of the entire family.
