On the other hand, after being asked by his daughter-in-law Xiaoyi, Zhou Wentao suddenly found that he really didn't give any gifts to his daughter-in-law, so he began to think about whether it would be too late to pick up gifts on the street at this time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing this, Zhou's mother on the side quietly pulled her son aside and began to ask her face: "Wen Tao, don't spend all this unjust money." No, I see that you are busy all day, and you don't know how to save money. It's better to put your salary here in the future, and your mother will save it for you. ”

"Mom, isn't it enough for you to give you a living allowance with me and Yan'er every month? Otherwise, after the New Year, I will give you an extra 100 every month? As for the rest, although I don't earn as much as Ru'er every month, I still have to bear the daily expenses of the family. Zhou Wentao habitually pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said unhurriedly.

"You ......" Zhou's mother wanted Zhou Wentao's salary card, she really wanted to save the money, which was her pension money in the future. Zhou's mother knew very well in her heart that after her daughter Zhou Wenyan married that foreign son-in-law Xiaopi, although she was not unfilial, she was a married daughter in the end. Therefore, in the future, most of the pensions will have to rely on Zhou Wentao, the adopted son.

Mother Zhou, who has always known that her daughter-in-law is very powerful, is now desperately trying to find a way to save more coffin books, and when the time comes, she will not have to worry that Zhou Wentao, the adopted son who did not come out of her belly, will not be responsible for supporting her in the future.

It's a pity that in Zhou's mother's opinion, just such a small request was rejected by Zhou Wentao.

"Mom, I thought I had something to do, so I'm going to get busy first. For fear that Zhou's mother would entangle with her again, the most important thing was that Zhou Wentao, who had a flash of inspiration and thought of what to give, found a universal excuse and turned around and went straight to the studio.

Tsk, it's not biological. Now that she has a daughter-in-law, she has forgotten her adoptive mother! Zhou's mother looked at Zhou Wentao's sneaky back, and counted this account on Zhao Qingru's head very naturally.

Zhao Qingru, who was still busy in the kitchen, didn't know all this, but felt that her nose was inexplicably a little itchy.

Although with the improvement of the material level, the taste of the New Year seems to be getting weaker and weaker. can't stand it, the children at home are still looking forward to the New Year as always. After all, the Chinese New Year means a lot of fun. Take a vacation, wear new clothes, eat all kinds of delicious food, and receive New Year's money...... And, of course, fireworks.

It's a pity that during the Spring Festival of '91, the state clearly stipulated that fireworks were not allowed. First, it pollutes the air, second, it disturbs the people, and third, there were frequent accidents in the first two years, and the casualties and economic losses were not small...... Therefore, there has to be a hard and fast law and order rule.

Don't let fireworks and firecrackers, not to mention that the children at home are not used to it, and even Zhao Qingru is a little uncomfortable. I always feel that on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, there is less sulfur smell in the air, there are no brilliant fireworks in the night sky, and there is no crackling sound in the ears, so that this little smell of the year has been cut a lot.

The only thing I am glad about may be that there is a Spring Festival Gala, which is better than nothing. The Spring Festival Gala that began in '84, although it was not as good as the year after the new century, was still very popular in the early '90s. Anyone who has a TV set is basically less than eight o'clock at night, and a large family sits together, looking forward to the early start of the party.

"Xiao Yuanyuan, take Xiao Yi and Xiao An, and drag Dad out of the studio. The Spring Festival Gala is about to start. Zhao Qingru put the fruit plate and pastry plate on the coffee table, and saw that Zhou Wentao slipped into the studio after eating the reunion dinner and didn't see it, so he motioned to the three little ones in the family to look for it.

"Hey. ”

Zhao Qingru didn't know what his nerd Zhou Wentao was Chinese New Year's Eve and what he was busy in the studio. After the three little guys in the family went to find someone, they were like the meat buns and never returned. It wasn't until the interview show after the news ended, the advertisement also passed, the Spring Festival Gala officially kicked off, the first singing and dancing performance was finished, and the host of the party began to report the next program, only to see Zhou Wentao and the three little guys who were belated.

Zhou's mother, who was already a little unhappy in her heart, saw that her son, who had not seen anyone for a long time, appeared, and was about to ask Zhou Wentao what he was busy with in the workshop, but when she looked up, the first thing she saw was the thing that looked like a flower in her son's hand.

"Ru'er, today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is also the Valentine's Day in the West. I haven't given you any flowers over the years...... This one...... I did it with my three children. Zhou Wentao didn't wait for Zhou's mother to speak, and handed the things in his hand to Zhao Qingru.

"Mom, press this, you quickly click this little button. When Xiao Yi saw Zhao Qingru accept the gift from his father, he immediately came to Zhao Qingru's side.

"Good. Looking at the three little guys around him, one by one with wide eyes, looking at himself with expectant eyes, Zhao Qingru nodded and agreed. Although I don't know very well, I should be surprised by what is contained in this wooden carved model that looks like a flower bone.

After all, most of the new products of "Wood Source" over the years have come from the designs of their own men. And what she is holding in her hand now should be the latest design.

Zhao Qingru slowly pushed the small protrusion of the flower branch forward, and the half-hollowed out wooden petals slowly bloomed, revealing the stamen part inside. The stamens are round, and from the hollow gaps, Zhao Qingru can vaguely see that there seems to be something hidden inside.

When Zhou Wentao handed the flower bone in his hand to Zhao Qingru a little awkwardly, he attracted the attention of Zhou Wenyan and Pete, who were sitting together watching the Spring Festival Gala. At this time, I was somewhat surprised to see Zhao Qingru holding the flower and not seeing other reactions.

"Sister Qingru?" Zhou Wenyan called out tentatively and softly, and then laughed and teased her eldest brother, "Brother, it turns out that you are not completely a nerd." ”

"What nonsense?" Zhou Wentao glanced at his sister, then turned his head to look at Zhao Qingru, "That...... There's still something in the stamen. ”

"Hey, is there anything else?Sister Qingru, then you quickly open it and take a look?!" Zhou Wenyan was also curious.

"Let's go back and watch it again, it's important to watch the Spring Festival Gala first. Zhou Wentao's brother and sister, including Pete, may not have noticed that Zhou's mother's face was obviously slightly sick, but Zhao Qingru actually noticed it very early. At such a time, why bother to make people unhappy.

It's a pity that Zhao Qingru's change of topic didn't make her mother-in-law feel better, but made Zhou's mother feel that she was showing off to her in Chiguoguo.

"Wen Tao, I don't know what you gave your wife?"

"Uh......" Zhou Wentao wanted to signal his daughter-in-law to open it quickly, so as to know if Zhao Qingru liked the gift he prepared. Who would have thought that Zhou's mother would be forgotten.

"The ......"

"Hmph, it's not biological, it's separated by a layer of belly. ”

“……”

Even Pete was dumbfounded. Before, in order to successfully marry the person he liked, Pete had secretly asked Zhao Qingru about the preferences of his future mother-in-law, Zhou's mother. Zhao Qingru also mentioned a few precautions to Pete. Who would have thought that after this period of contact, Pete found that this old Chinese lady (mother-in-law) was really not so easy to get away.

Now it seems that it is more difficult to rectify at all.

Pete couldn't believe that the eldest lady of the Zhao family, who was so handsome outside, faced with her mother-in-law who always liked to find fault with her, had times when she was embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, dear mother-in-law, I forgot to prepare a gift for you today. Pete curled his tongue, stood up from his seat, and then apologized to Zhou's mother very sincerely.

Zhou's mother originally wanted to be a mother-in-law in front of her future son-in-law, so she was looking for trouble with her daughter-in-law Zhao Qingru, so she didn't expect to attract Pitt's apology. In order to get Zhou's mother to agree, Zhou Wenyan cooked raw rice into cooked rice, and she was already pregnant with buns in her stomach.

At this critical moment, Zhou's mother didn't know how complicated her mood was. At least Zhou's mother definitely doesn't want to see her daughter's mother-in-law in the future, that is, Pete's mother-in-law, making things difficult for her daughter-in-law like she is now embarrassing Zhao Qingru. Especially after being harassed, Pete, a man who is both a son and a husband, chose to stand on the side of his own mother.

Thinking of this, Zhou's mother pulled out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said, "The old woman is just joking. This Valentine's Day, the old woman still knows. Of course, it's a festival for your young people who are not married, and the old woman is married like this, what a lot of fun. Isn't it, Wen Tao Qingru?"

"Let's watch the Spring Festival Gala. Little One Xiao An came and sat down at Dad's place. Zhou Wentao did not respond to Zhou's mother's words, but greeted his two little guys.

"Pete, hurry up and sit down to watch the Spring Festival Gala. This year's Spring Festival Gala is still good. Seeing this, Zhao Qingru hugged Xiao Yuanyuan, sat down next to Zhou Wentao, and beckoned Pete to sit down quickly.

The Spring Festival Gala in 91 is indeed as Zhao Qingru said, it is still quite exciting. It's just that the atmosphere at home is always a little depressed.

In addition to the already governor and a little precocious Xiao Harahara saw some clues, Xiao Yi and Xiao An are still young, no matter how smart they are, some things are still ignorant, so although they are a little surprised, it didn't take long for them to be attracted by the Spring Festival Gala performance on TV.

Zhou Wenyan pursed her lips, and became more and more determined to find a time to talk to her mother.

Zhou's mother didn't insist on watching the entire Spring Festival Gala, and just after nine o'clock, she began to yawn. When it was half past nine, I went back to the back wing where I had lived, washed and slept. As for the three children in the family, even if they are Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhao Qingru does not allow them to stay up too late to sleep.

So not long after Zhou's mother left, Xiao Yuan took Xiao Yi and Xiao An back to his room to sleep. Of course, before going to bed, Zhao Qingru will still habitually check it.

I don't know if it's Zhou's mother's little fuss, originally said that she would watch the Spring Festival Gala and play a few quintessential mahjong at the same time, but she was also in a bad mood. didn't discuss it much at all, so they decided to go back to their rooms to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

"Ru'er...... Originally, I thought that when Wen Yan got married, I would take my mother home to live. Now it seems that ......" After a simple wash, Zhou Wentao hugged Zhao Qingru in his arms, and by the way, turned the volume of the TV to the minimum.

"Didn't you already apply to get the house back? Zhao Qingru smiled, "Actually, it's nothing." As long as it's not too excessive, I just act like I don't see anything, I don't hear anything. ”

"But I don't want you to be wronged like this, and let the children be wronged. ”

"What else should I do? Although you didn't go through the adoption procedures, your mother-in-law also had selfish intentions when she adopted you. But after all, I raised you for several years, and I didn't let you starve to death, did I? For the sake of the dead father-in-law, I should also help take care of you. Zhao Qingru leaned on Zhou Wentao's body and continued slowly, "I only hope that Pi is particularly affected." ”

"Huh?"

"I asked Angle to inquire before, Pete's mother-in-law, the countess is not fuel-efficient, etc. Although Pete was the youngest child in the family and had little inheritance, he was also the countess's favorite son. And I heard that the countess has always had a favorite daughter-in-law. ”

"Ah......" Zhou Wentao heard Zhao Qingru say this, and also realized something, "Then ......"

"I specially asked Angle to help before, and invited a female official from the palace to train Wen Yan's etiquette. I believe it should be of some use. As for the rest...... can only look at Wen Yan herself. However, if Pete can stand on Wen Yan's side, he may be able to solve many things more easily. But it wasn't necessarily a good thing for the countess who was already prejudiced. ”

"It's complicated. Zhou Wentao only felt that he had a little headache, which was much more troublesome than doing complex experiments in the research institute.

"Idiot, isn't it possible that you haven't heard of this 'mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship' is the most complicated and difficult interpersonal relationship?" Zhao Qingru turned over and chose to lie on his man, "Anyway, I was angry with my mother-in-law, so I will go back and clean you up." ”

"Yes, yes, welcome Ru'er, you can clean me up now. Zhou Wentao hugged his daughter-in-law's slender willow waist, and as he spoke, he was not so honest.

Because of the Chinese New Year, Zhao Qingru took Xiaoyu and their leave, and even the security guards in charge took turns to take holidays. Because Aunt Wang was not there, she had to rely on herself for three meals a day.

Because Zhou Wentao felt sorry for his daughter-in-law, he quietly got up early to prepare breakfast on the first day of the new year. It's just that Zhou Wentao never thought that his sister Zhou Wenyan would also get up early in the morning.

"Wen Yan, why don't you sleep more?"

"Ah, brother. Aren't you early? Zhou Wenyan obviously didn't expect her eldest brother to get up early. However, after the brother and sister looked at each other, they tacitly said in unison, "Happy New Year." ”

After that, the two of them were busy with their hands and feet.
