"Excuse me, do you have a favorite designer?"

"Little V. Zhao Qingru took out a credit card and handed it to the shopping guide, "By the way, is there a gold bracelet?"

"Gold bracelets?" The shopping guide was obviously stunned, in fact, in addition to buying the so-called hardware according to the tradition when preparing the dowry, especially the young people on weekdays, they rarely wear gold jewelry that looks a little tacky.

"Mommy ......"

"The first time I come to the door, I always have to bring some gifts. With a gold bracelet and some seasonal fruit pastries, this gift should be about the same. ”

"Thank you, Mom. ”

Zhao Qingru helped Xiao Yi to choose the gold bracelet is the latest, with a wide bracelet full of stars and decorations, weighing about 16.8 grams, considering that it is an old lady in the countryside, the hand may be relatively wide, so she chose an inner diameter of 60 cm, the width that most people can wear.

As for the old man of the Gu family, he knew that he liked to drink two cups if he had nothing to do, so he directly chose the two pots for supply, a box of six bottles. There must be Moutai or something in the internal supply, according to the level of the Zhao family, but this time there is no privilege.

After shopping in the commercial street, I basically bought everything I should have bought. Chinese New Year's Eve, according to custom, was spent on the side of the courtyard, and Zhao Qingru's mother-in-law Zhou naturally took over. The old lady is in good spirits, but her own daughter followed her foreign son-in-law and the two boys back to Great Britain and England at this time, and in this kind of family reunion, it affects her mood to some extent.

This year, Ohara did not return to China, first, he was busy with schoolwork, and the cold air was coming from Lao Mi's side during this time, and it snowed heavily for several days, and the road was heavily snowed, and he couldn't come back if he wanted to. I had to spend the New Year at Xu's house. Of course, in addition to the local Chinese, Lao Mi did not have the custom of the traditional Chinese year, and people spent Christmas.

At the end of the courtyard, in addition to arranging the security guards on duty, Zhao Qingru sealed the red envelope early and took a holiday. On the contrary, the house is cleaner than usual.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, when the married girl returned to her parents' house, early in the morning, Zhao Qingru took gifts and dragged Zhou Wentao and Xiaoyi Xiao'an sisters and brothers back to the compound. Originally, I didn't want to keep Zhou's mother at the end of the courtyard, but the old lady didn't want to follow, so she had to give up. The left is just a lunch, and there is still a security guard on duty at the end of the courtyard.

On the side of the compound, although the old man of the Zhao family and Zhao's father are no longer there, Zhao Qingshan has been promoted to another level. In addition, in the past few years, Zhao Qingru has successively made contributions to the army, and the two-story small courtyard where the old man originally lived was assigned to Zhao Qingshan. Now the old lady, Zhao's mother, Zhao Qingshan, his wife and Xiaobao live in it, and the three-bedroom house assigned to Zhao's father has been taken back.

In fact, the Zhao family does not lack a place to live, not to mention, there are three sets of courtyard houses with independent property rights under Zhao Qingru's name alone, two of which are connected to Grandma Qian's courtyard, one left and one right are intended to be left to Xiao Yi and Xiao An in the future. In addition, there are a number of storefronts in the downtown area......

Zhao Qingshan doesn't care much about these, but Qian Yinan, as Zhao Qingru's best friend and sister-in-law, followed behind and joined in the fun, plus he had two sons, in order to marry a daughter-in-law in the future, the house alone had to prepare double copies.

As for Zhao Qingwei, the representative of the bear child, he naturally followed behind his sister for the first time, and after graduating and marrying the wife of a scholar, the young couple directly became the shopkeeper. If it weren't for all considerations, and the old lady and Zhao's mother were reluctant to live in the compound for many years, they wouldn't have cared so much.

When Zhao Qingru's family of four returned to the Zhao family in the compound, only the old lady and Zhao's mother were at home, and Qian Yinan and her little brother and sister also took their husband and children back to their parents' house. It's just that the Qian family is in a compound, and it is estimated that they will come back without waiting for lunch. The little brother and sister and the little brother Zhao Qingwei are most likely not to be touched today.

Fortunately, Zhao Qingru didn't care too much, and she would come over tomorrow.

After greeting each other for the New Year, the old lady and Zhao's mother handed the rich red envelopes prepared earlier to Xiaoyi and Xiao'an, and before they could say a few more words, they heard the voices of Dabao and Xiaobao outside the courtyard. As the fourth generation of the Zhao family, Dabao and Xiaobao have completely different temperaments.

Although there is no deliberate arrangement, it can be said that the two children who grew up in the barracks since they were children have a deep military complex in their bones. Zhao Qingru could see that although her good best friend and sister-in-law, Qian Yinan, did not directly oppose it, in fact, she was not very happy that her two sons were admitted to the military academy.

A few years ago, I heard that Xiao Yi was a little red and starry, and after falling in love with an in-service officer, Qian Yinan has been wanting to meet with Zhao Qingru for a good chat these days. At this time, I finally saw someone, so I naturally pulled people into the room as soon as possible.

"Qingru, tell me, what's going on?"

"What's going on?" It's not that Zhao Qingru is pretending to be stupid, but in fact, he doesn't know where to start for a while.

"Hmph, play dumb for me, huh. I thought it was a good thing that your three children didn't have anything to do with the barracks. Who thinks...... Why did that girl find another soldier in Xiaoyi?!"

"There's no way, it's just good in my bones. Zhao Qingru pulled the back chair on the side seemingly casually and joked. However, seeing that Qian Yinan's face was a little sick, and he also knew that his best friend was not in the mood to laugh, he sighed and said in a somewhat helpless tone, "I like this, but I can't help it." ”

"Qingru, you don't object?"

"Is it useful to oppose it?" Zhao Qingru asked rhetorically.

Qian Yinan also sighed, shook his head with a wry smile, and said faintly: "Yes, what's the use of opposing?"

I think back then, didn't Qian Yinan's mother Aunt Qian also object to her marrying Zhao Qingshan. Only when you really marry a soldier and become a military wife can you understand the ups and downs. Speaking of which, Qian Yinan is quite happy compared to his mother-in-law, Aunt Qian, mother-in-law Zhao, and mother-in-law Zhao. At least, it's peaceful now.

Back then, whenever the men in the family had to go out on a mission (war), the women who stayed in the rear didn't sleep a day and slept peacefully, and even prepared early for the day in the future, if there was a case, they would become survivors. When Aunt Qian gave birth to Qian Yinan, her father was on a mission in the frontier, and he almost died because of heavy bleeding. Later, he was finally rescued, but because of his injury, he had no way to add another boy to the Qian family to inherit the Qian family's incense.

As for the Zhao family, in fact, it is okay not to mention it. Although Zhao's father said that he was in harmony with the mud in family affairs, he didn't say that he led the troops to fight, but he didn't say that when he went south to fight Xiaoyue, if it wasn't for Zhao Qingru secretly preparing body armor, he was afraid that he would receive a boxed lunch directly. In this way, he was still in a coma in bed for several days. Zhao's mother devotes most of her energy to her artistic career, which is not a disguised escape.

There are also the old ladies of the Qian family and the old ladies of the Zhao family, who organized people to knit straw shoes and military shoes in the rear to treat the wounded, and silently supported their husbands who were fighting on the front line with everything they could, but what they were most afraid of was being injured and bleeding or even dying.

Perhaps it is precisely because he knows that as a mother-in-law, Qian Yinan does not want his two sons to continue to join the army, even if it is out of responsibility, he can choose a relatively safer path to politics. But whether it is a big treasure or a small treasure, it is a tendon in this regard.

Now that she knows that the only daughter in the family, Xiao Yi has also begun to have convulsions, and it is strange that Qian Yinan, who has always treated Xiao Yi as her own daughter, does not jump up.

"Qingru, this doesn't look like your temperament. The most important thing is that I heard that this person surnamed Gu is a ......."

"Phoenix man?"

"Yes, 'Phoenix Man'! His own conditions are indeed very good, but the head of the family ...... But it's a mess!" Qian Yinan couldn't help but get closer, almost lying on top of Zhao Qingru, "Hey, tell me the truth, you really don't have a backhand?"

"I asked Xiao Yu to help Xiao get the plane on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. ”

"Where are you going?" Qian Yinan frowned slightly, and a flash of inspiration vaguely thought of something.

"Gu Zhenyong's hometown. When I arrived in the city, I asked Xiao Chen to drive and send Xiao Yi there. ”

"Qingru, are you crazy?!This, isn't this sending sheep into the tiger's mouth?!" Qian Yinan couldn't help but raise his voice, "Does the old lady and mother-in-law know about this?"

"I haven't had time to tell yet. Yinan, Xiaoyi is not a sheep, even if it is a sheep, it is a wolf in sheep's clothing!" Zhao Qingru's black and white eyes flashed with a hint of anger.

"Only after seeing and getting along, will you understand how big the gap between the two is! Regardless of status and money, life is her own, and it is impossible for her to protect her for a lifetime as an elder. I'd rather her be injured than be protected by her elders and become an ivory tower princess who can't withstand the wind and rain. ”

"Even if our elders are gone, and there are a few brothers of Dabao and Xiaobao to protect you, you don't want to?"

"Hmm. ”

"You're so ruthless. Qian Yinan shook his head helplessly, "Although I can understand, I still can't bear it." ”

"If you can't give it, you have to give it. Zhao Qingru was reluctant, but she still gritted her teeth and was ruthless. Zhao Qingru's several children, some are adopted, and some are biological, and Xiaoyi is the only biological daughter after all. Because of an accidental premature birth, it was only a little bit old when it was born, and it was raised so carefully. was married home by a phoenix man who didn't know where he came from, why?!

Not to mention that Zhou Wentao, who is dedicated to research, is unwilling, and Zhao Qingru, who is a mother-in-law, will never let go easily. This good young man of the right age in the world is not dead, Zhao Qingru does not ask how rich he is, how high his status is, how talented he is, and how handsome he looks.

What I want is nothing more than that the members of the family are simpler, the man's parents are better, and as for the son-in-law himself, he is physically and mentally healthy, has some talents, and is an affordable warm man.

It's really not too demanding.
