Countdown to Awakening

Mother-in-law Wang Xiaohong looked at her and smiled with satisfaction and relief.

After taking a sip of porridge, he continued to praise Luo Xinxin.

Zhou Jianguo pulled out a stool and sat next to her. Luo Xinxin also served him a bowl of porridge. Then she sat down.

Wang Xiaohong asked, "Xinxin, your dad loves noodles, and I have something to say too. I love steamed buns, freshly made hot buns. I wonder if you can make them. I loved them when I was young, but now I'm too old to make them. Not to mention steamed buns, even hand-rolled noodles are hard to come by."

Luo Xinxin silently took note of these words.

My father-in-law loves hand-rolled noodles, and my mother-in-law loves hot buns. Both are difficult to make. But with some snacks, they can be made...

Zhou Changjin raised his eyes and glanced at Luo Xinxin. Such an inconsiderate daughter-in-law... After getting married, wouldn't she ask her parents-in-law in advance what they like to eat?

Sooner or later, she'd have to do all these things. How could he let his mother-in-law cook all the time after marrying her? It would be embarrassing if anyone told anyone about it. No one in the village would do that.

Zhou Changjin didn't say anything else, just buried his head in drinking porridge.

After smacking his lips, Zhou Changjin said, "This porridge... has no taste..."

Luo Xinxin felt a little embarrassed and had to smooth things over by saying, "Dad, if you think it's tasteless, try some vegetables. I'm not used to drinking plain porridge, but this vegetable has flavor."

Luo Xinxin looked at Zhou Jianguo and saw that he didn't say anything, so she didn't want to refute Zhou Changjin. After all, he was indeed an elder.

So she took the initiative to bring up the topic: "Dad, don't you agree? This dish is quite flavorful. It's neither too strong nor too unpalatable when paired with the porridge. I've remembered everything you and Mom said. Next time I'll make something you two like. This was my first time cooking, so I wasn't very good. Don't worry, there won't be a next time."

Zhou Changjin then nodded with satisfaction.

Wang Xiaohong was increasingly pleased with her new bride. Not only was she beautiful, she was also a skilled cook. She was also very polite and sensible when speaking to the elders.

The most important thing is that I saw the bloody towel on the bed at the door last night. This girl is still a virgin, a very decent girl. She has never had an affair before marriage, and it is even more impossible for her to be pregnant with someone else's child.

It can be seen that the in-laws are really good at teaching...

After Wang Xiaohong and Zhou Changjin exchanged glances, she finally spoke, "Xinxin, even though you've just gotten married, you should really think about having children. Just think of that Liu Yingdi from your village, who already had two children in three years, and is now pregnant with her third. You should also try harder... If you can give birth to our eldest grandson, I'll pass this bracelet on my hand to you. If it's a girl, then we can take our time, and we'll eventually have a son."

Luo Xinxin looked back at Zhou Jianguo. He didn't say anything and didn't seem to have any opinions...

She pursed her lips, smiled, nodded, and replied, "Mom, I like children too. We will both...work hard and strive to give birth to a son as soon as possible."

After hearing the satisfactory answer, Wang Xiaohong smiled happily.

Then the old couple finished eating at the same time.

Zhou Jianguo also said he wasn't very hungry. After Luo Xinxin washed the dishes, she walked into the bedroom. Zhou Jianguo was sitting on the edge of the bed, lost in thought. She sat down next to her husband and whispered, "Jianguo, Mom and Dad have been saying something ambiguous today. Shouldn't we discuss having children? I think they'd really like to have a grandchild, too."

Hearing this, Zhou Jianguo scratched his hair irritably, "Xinxin, we just got married. I want to make some money first and see what happens. We can't rush into having a baby."

Hearing her husband's answer, Luo Xinxin felt relieved, but also a little worried. She blinked and asked again, "But what do my parents think..."

Zhou Jianguo could only smile.

"Then... let's have a baby first... Mom and Dad are so old now, it's normal for them to want to hold their grandchildren. Then... let's see if we can have a baby next year. You'll have to work harder."
