His predecessor failed

Chapter 11 Cooperation

Although the process was unexpected, fortunately the result was good. While the house was still quiet, He Qiaojin quickly packed up his things and went downstairs to find a guest room to wash up.

When He's mother went downstairs, she saw He Qiaojin sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a newspaper. She walked over to pull her son up, turned him around, and saw that he was fine, and then turned around and walked straight to the kitchen. Her daughter-in-law was busy in the kitchen. It was really hard to get up so early. She had to go and help. It was too dirty for her daughter-in-law's delicate hands to do housework.

He Qiaojin couldn't even shout out "Mom" in his throat: There is motherly love, but not much, right?

As soon as Mr. He came back from morning exercise, he saw He Qiaojin standing there with a gloomy face as soon as he entered the door. He immediately gave him a sharp look.

"Grandpa, morning!"

"Well, I'm back. Don't look so gloomy when there's nothing to do. You deserve a beating. If you scare Zhuzhu later, you'll get beaten!"

He Qiaojin speechlessly helped the old man sit down at the dining table.

Today, Grandpa He and He Qiaojin both returned home. It was rare that there were so many people at home, so Aunt Yang specially prepared two more breakfasts, a plate of fried eggs, a pot of multi-grain porridge, pickled radishes, a large basket of white flour meat buns, and a plate of cucumbers.

Anyway, the matter has been basically settled, Su Zhuzhu ate the meat buns made by Aunt Yang without any burden. The meat buns were really delicious, and the gravy was soaked into the bun skin. It would be a pity if Aunt Yang didn't open a bun shop with such skills. Su Zhuzhu took a bite of the bun, a bite of the fragrant grain porridge, and a fried egg, and a piece of cucumber from time to time to refresh her. Sure enough, the ingredients nowadays are all original. No matter how much high technology there is in the future, you can't taste such a pure taste. Every time she eats delicious food, Su Zhuzhu feels that it is worth it to travel through time.

Looking at He Qiaojin again, he was busy eating. In a short while, he had finished four big buns, two bowls of porridge, and an fried egg.

To be honest, He Qiaojin hasn't been home for several months, and he's lucky to be able to fill his stomach with the big pot meals in the army canteen. The meals are nothing like the delicious food at home, so he eats to his heart's content every time he goes home.

Aunt Yang watched He Qiaojin and Lin Wu grow up, and now she was like a member of the commune watching the pigs of the production team, feeding them in turn with love. As soon as they finished one bun, she immediately stuffed them with another one, fearing that the two brothers would be hungry. Now Su Zhuzhu was also added, which made Su Zhuzhu very full. Girls have small appetites to begin with, and the buns were all very big, so she couldn't eat too much. She raised the second bun in her hand to Aunt Yang to indicate that she couldn't eat any more.

He's mother was a little nervous at first, and was worried that her grown-up son would get upset, but now he seems to be eating happily, and his appetite is growing. He's already eating his fifth bun! Could it be that seeing Zhuzhu is so gentle and cute, he is ready to accept the family's arrangement and live a good life? He is too calm. How could they feel like an old married couple when they first met? They are just focusing on eating.

If He Qiaojin knew that his mother saw him this way, he would be so angry that he would eat one more bun. He had basically not eaten anything for a whole day and night, and he rushed home as soon as he finished the task. What was wrong with eating a little more?

He's mother gave her father-in-law a look of admiration: "Dad, have you managed to get this kid? That's awesome!"

Mr. He drank the last mouthful of multi-grain porridge and gave Mother He a puzzled look: "I haven't had time to tell them yet, but these two seem to have known each other for a long time and don't seem strange at all. What's going on?"

Everyone has different thoughts when eating breakfast.

Lin Wu was the happiest because his brother Qiao Jin was back. This time they had to have a good reunion and let Qiao Jin give him some advice. After all, Qiao Jin's individual combat capability was second to none in the Beijing Military Region, so he had to seize the opportunity.

After breakfast, the family sat in the living room to drink tea.

He's mother spoke first: "He Qiaojin, when did you come back? Zhuzhu is living in your old room now. I didn't break in in the middle of the night and scare her!"

Although she complained, He's mother actually wished that the two of them could spend a night together. Otherwise, what would He Qiaojin do with these few days of vacation? She would only feel at ease after marrying her daughter-in-law into the family.

He Qiaojin was afraid that Su Zhuzhu would be embarrassed by what happened in the morning, so he avoided the main point and said:

"Mom, that's the room I've lived in for more than 20 years after all. You can't just change the room to someone else without even telling me, right? If I hadn't lived in it for more than 20 years, I would have thought I had entered the wrong door!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. He's eyes instantly lit up like light bulbs and shone towards Mother He. What a brilliant move!

He's mother smiled proudly back at her father-in-law, saying that it was just a small scene, and that it was all because of your good teaching. The process is not important, the goal is the most important.

"Zhuzhu is a girl, the light in the guest room on the first floor is not good enough, and the room is not big enough, which is really unfair to Zhuzhu. Anyway, you can't come back for a few days a year, so don't occupy it. Besides, you are an engaged couple, but the elders have made an engagement. Not to mention that you two will have to live together sooner or later after you get married, we have no objection even if you live together now. Your clothes are still stuffed under the closet, and I haven't sorted them out for you."

"Mom, where should I live? I need to sleep somewhere these days!" He Qiaojin didn't bother to talk to his mother.

"I bought Zhuzhu some new clothes, but they couldn't fit in the closet, so I stuffed your clothes at the bottom of the closet. I haven't sorted them out for you yet. If you don't want to live in your own room anymore, just find a guest room and stay there for a few days."

Okay, I’m almost kicked out!

Lin Wu hid in the back and laughed. His brother Qiao Jin was so pitiful! He had to find a chance to persuade his brother Qiao Jin. Zhu Zhu was easy to get along with and she cooked delicious food. She specially cooked a boiled fish two days ago, which made him very happy. It was not easy to find such a good wife. Besides, Zhu Zhu was beautiful, gentle and a high school student. She was definitely more than qualified to be his sister-in-law.

"I'll be staying at home for the next few days. You should take Zhuzhu out for a walk as soon as possible so that you can get to know each other and cultivate your relationship." Grandpa He asked He Qiaojin about his holiday plans, and finally, at the request of He Qiaojin and Su Zhuzhu, the engagement date was set on Friday. Since the Su couple was not there and the relatives on that side lived far away, they planned to only notify He Xiaogu's family to come over for a meal, and then have a good time when the wedding happened.

He's mother originally disagreed with such a low-key engagement. She had planned to bring Su Zhuzhu to the courtyard to show off on the engagement day. After all, there were only two such beautiful and cultured daughters-in-law in the entire courtyard. But her father-in-law had already made the final decision, and it was not easy to offend the elders, so she could only regretfully wait until the wedding to get married.

After the matter was settled, He's mother stuffed a bunch of money into He Qiaojin's pocket and urged him to take Su Zhuzhu out for a walk.

He Qiaojin couldn't sleep the whole night yesterday because he wanted to have a good sleep, but when he thought about how readily Su Zhuzhu agreed in the morning, he felt that he should show his sincerity, so he motioned to Su Zhuzhu to go out together.

In fact, one can see the dark circles under He Qiaojin's eyes. The He family is polite, and Su Zhuzhu doesn't want to order them around. Besides, they are not familiar with each other, and she doesn't want to go out with He Qiaojin.

"Grandpa He, Auntie, I think He Qiaojin is very tired. Let him rest first. Health is more important. I don't have anything important to do, so I'm not in a hurry."

He's mother stroked Su Zhuzhu's little hand and sighed that Su Zhuzhu was very caring. Her son was so lucky to have such a considerate daughter-in-law.

Grandpa He didn't care about all this and went out to play chess with his old friends.
