Chapter 7: Lying

The deputy director also nodded in agreement: "Yes, this will ensure the health of the baby." โ€

After speaking, he asked again: "By the way, is your daughter-in-law pregnant?" โ€

The smile on Xu Xiulian's face remained unchanged: "They have only been married for more than three months, and they are not in a hurry." โ€

In fact, she was in a hurry.

Xiao Hong is still young, only twenty-one years old.

But his son is twenty-eight years old this year, and Jin Wei, who is as old as him, is four years old this year, and he is about to go to kindergarten.

And relatively speaking, men are ##ๆ˜ฏๆœ€ๅˆ้€‚่ฎฉๅฅณๆ€ง็”Ÿ่‚ฒ็š„ๅนด้พ„ before the age of thirty.

For the sake of a healthy and intelligent next generation, she is really about to break her heart.

It's a pity that they didn't spend much time at home after they got married, making her useless hero.

When she got home from work, she saw Xiao Hong repairing shrimp by the well in the yard, she paused and said indifferently: "I'm back, do you live at home at night?" โ€

"Yes." Xiao Hong tried hard to pretend to be well-behaved: "Mom, you've worked hard, go have a cup of tea and take a break?" โ€

"Hmm." Xu Xiulian responded very casually, went into the living room, and looked around, Sister Wu was busy in the kitchen, her father-in-law and mother-in-law should not have returned from the park at this time, and her man and son had not yet gotten off work.

She tiptoed up to the second floor quietly, gently pushed open her son's door, opened the bedside table a little rusty, picked up family planning supplies with a tangled face, took a deep breath, or took out a small iodine bottle from her bag, took out a needle from the empty bottle, and poked...

She put things back in place and quietly went downstairs.

Unfortunately, it happened to meet Sister Wu who came out with the dishes.

Sister Wu was a little strange that she came down from upstairs and asked suspiciously, "Director, are you off work?" โ€

Xu Xiulian's hand clenched the bag in her hand, but her face was still very calm: "Well, I'll open the window of my sister-in-law's room for ventilation." โ€

Sister Wu didn't doubt her words at all, and nodded hurriedly: "It's because I didn't think about it enough, then I'll go to Guan tomorrow." โ€

But he was a little embarrassed in his heart, Director Wu was always worried about his children, but he was not good to his daughter-in-law.

Fortunately, Xiao Hong is capable and can let Yan Hong protect her, otherwise I am afraid that my life at home will be difficult.

However, she didn't dare to show it, after all, Director Xu was the hostess of this family.

is usually generous to her, she doesn't want to be swept away.

Xu Xiulian nodded, went back to the room by herself, but made a note in her heart, and decided to wait and go upstairs to open her daughter's window.

Otherwise, Sister Wu will go upstairs and see that the window is not open, and she will know that she is lying today.

She hadn't even stepped through her daughter's door.

When she returned to the room and put the bag out, while Sister Wu went to the kitchen, she glanced at Xiao Hong outside for a while before she had finished repairing the shrimp, and she hurriedly went upstairs quietly to open the window of her daughter's room.

Thankfully, when I came down this time, no one saw it.

In the evening, there are two plates of shrimp on the table, one plate is local shrimp, and some pickled vegetables are fried, and the taste is particularly delicious.

One plate is braised prawns, which are firm and chewy, and taste good when eaten.

There is also a plate of steamed yellow croaker, the fish meat is fragrant and smooth, tender and delicate.

Grandpa Yan praised after eating: "This fish tastes good and fragrant today." โ€

Sister Wu smiled: "The fish and shrimp were all taught to me by Xiao Xiao, and Xiao Xiao also taught me a trick, I didn't put peppercorns in the past, but this time I put a few dried peppercorns in the oil pot and fry them until fragrant, and the taste is more fragrant." โ€

"Old man, you like to eat, I'll continue to cook it tomorrow, Xiao Xiao took a few yellow croakers back?"

Grandpa Yan nodded with satisfaction: "Xiao Xiao, you have a heart." โ€

Xiao Hong smiled very obediently: "It's good that grandparents like to eat, and I also went to consult the chef in the fish restaurant." โ€

"In a few days, it will be the season to eat crabs, and the chef will make crab stuffed oranges, salt-baked hairy crabs, and crab roe tofu, let's try it?"

She didn't do good deeds without leaving a name.

She knew that the Yan family liked to eat fish and shrimp, and every time she came back, she would bring some with her, and she would also go out of her way to ask the chef how to make fish and shrimp taste better.

This is the advantage of opening Xiao Ji Fish Restaurant by herself, the chef knows that the boss will not steal her own rice bowl and will not hide her secrets, but patiently teach her a few tricks.

Grandma Yan was also very happy to hear this: "I haven't eaten crab roe tofu for a long time, so I have to try it." โ€

Yan Sheng also felt in his heart that after his daughter-in-law entered the door, his own food would be more exquisite: "I heard that your loan has been paid off?" โ€

"Yes," Xiao Hong smiled sweetly at him: "Thank you dad for your help at the beginning, I have also earned a lot of money in the past few months by relying on the popsicle production line." โ€

"You're welcome, we're all family." Yan Sheng asked curiously: "The summer is almost over, and your popsicle production line is about to stop, are you going to do something else?" โ€

He really thinks that his daughter-in-law has brains and a bit of luck, and he really wants to see what else she can toss.

Xu Xiulian became anxious when she heard this: "She has enough things in her hands, why are you still urging her to do it?" Can't you just let her rest? What do you think she's lost yet? โ€

Xiao Hong is one meter six, and she was originally almost one hundred and one years in weight.

But I ate less in the summer, and I didn't eat much meat, and I was busy in the past few months, so I lost seven or eight pounds.

Xiao Hong was very happy, thinking that this was an unexpected joy, and I couldn't wait to continue to maintain my current weight in the future.

However, it is rare for the mother-in-law to speak for herself, she is a little hairy in her heart, and an old saying instantly appeared in her mind: The weasel greets the chickens for the New Year, and they are uneasy and kind.

She simply said very honestly: "Dad, I have no other plans for the time being." โ€

"Don't worry, it's good that you can hold it steady." Yan Sheng wouldn't force her to be a strong woman, but he just felt that if she had any good ideas, he could help take a look.

"That's right," Yan Hong finally spoke: "I have been on leave with my colleagues for three days, I want to accompany Xiao Hong to go home, to see my mother-in-law, and by the way, to see my sister-in-law, is there anything I want to bring to my sister-in-law at home?" โ€

At the beginning of this year, Yan Wu was transferred to the grassroots level to work, which is Houzhai Town.

However, she is very low-key, and not many people know her true identity.

The main thing is to make some achievements, and then transfer back to the provincial capital, no one will say that she relies on her father.

Therefore, she came back to live for a few days this year when her brother got married, and she rarely came back.

When Xu Xiulian heard her son's words, she frowned slightly, thought about it, and still didn't refute it.

After all, after the daughter-in-law entered the door, she had not returned to her parents' house, and it was reasonable to go back and live for a few days now.

She also thought about her daughter: "My sister-in-law likes to eat fruits, and there are no fruits to buy over there, so you can bring her two cantaloupes and buy some mangoes." โ€

Xiao Hong is not a mallet: "Okay, let's go to the wholesale market tomorrow morning to buy it, we can put some at home, and we can also bring some to my sister-in-law and grandfather's house." โ€
