Lou Xiao'e Came Home
Courtyard.
Qin Huairu got up to wash the children's clothes with her big belly.
She was pregnant, so she didn't sleep well and woke up late. At this time, He Yuzhu and the others had already left.
However, it was summer and the weather was hot. The clothes could be dried quickly after washing, so there was no need to wake up too early.
The older one was on summer vacation, while the younger one had yet to go to school. He stayed at home and played in the courtyard. Both of them listened to Qin Huiru and did not go far, so they did not really need to be looked after.
Now, Qin Huairu had nothing else to do at home. She was doing some needlework to supplement her family's expenses. They also had a sewing machine at home, which could be used to sew and mend clothes. It was not bad to make some clothes.
Qin Huairu tidied up the clothes that the children and her mother-in-law had changed out of and took them to the tap outside to let them soak.
Then, Qin Huairu walked into He Yuzhu's room and took out He Yuzhu's dirty clothes. She even put them on the bedsheets and smelled them. They smelled of sweat, so she changed them for him and prepared to wash them.
He Yuzhu often helped her family. Recently, he had been delivering vegetables every day. Qin Huairu was very kind and grateful. However, she did not have the money to buy anything in return, so she returned the favor. She washed He Yuzhu's clothes and tidied up the house every day.
After putting away the things that needed to be washed and placing them on the bed, Qin Huiru went to the kitchen to take a look.
He opened the lid of the pot and saw a large pool of clear water soaking inside. There was a large bowl in the middle with only the edge exposed to the water. A plate was covered on top and sealed tightly.
He opened the plate and saw that the bowl was filled with fragrant meat dishes. With a little identification, he could see fish, beef brisket, and some pork trotters. Although they were a little tired, they smelled good.
He Yuzhu had been working overtime in the factory for the past few days, so he had been returning late. He had left the leftover vegetables in the pot for Qin Huairu. The water was used to lower the temperature and keep the food fresh. Otherwise, the food would taste bad overnight due to the hot weather.
"Quite a lot!"
Qin Huairu smiled happily and brought the bowl of mixed meat and vegetables back. She planned to add some vegetables for lunch and stir-fry them for the children and mother-in-law.
……
On the other hand, Lou Xiao'e had no interest in staying at home alone, so she took some luggage and prepared to go back to her mother's house for two days.
Lou Xiao'e and her family lived in a three-story bungalow. It was beautiful and stylish, but only her parents and a maid lived in the house, which was slightly deserted.
"Girl, you haven't been able to bear to see your parents for so long. Why are you here today?”
Lou Xiao'e hadn't even entered the door when Lou Xiao'e's mother came up to her with a smile.
Mother Lou looked quite energetic. She was in her forties and came from a scholarly family. She was very dignified and elegant.
"I haven't seen you for so many days. Are you doing well?”
Lou Xiao'e's mother could tell at a glance that Lou Xiao'e was dressed differently from before. She was more beautiful and energetic. She was very happy.
Their family was rich and used to be a big capitalist. Although they had lost a lot of money in the public-private partnership, it did not hurt their bones.
Mother Lou didn't need to go to work, and Father Lou didn't care about anything. He just stayed at home every day to raise flowers and plant grass, taking care of his temperament.
However, after experiencing that turbulent period, Lou Cheng's father was still very cautious.
Otherwise, when the movement came, their family would still have a chance to leave. This was also something that Father Lou had planned long ago.
Let's not talk about this.
Lou Xiao'e was talking to her mother. Lou Xiao'e's mother was also preparing to tidy up Lou Xiao'e's room.
"It's alright."
"Xu Damao went down to the village and hasn't been back for quite some time. I'm bored at home alone. Besides, I missed you guys, so I came here.”
"I'm staying at home for two days. Where's Dad?”
Lou Xiao'e laughed foolishly.
"Miss, you're back. I'll help you with your luggage.”
The maid rushed over when she saw him.
"Aunt, you can rest. I'll take it up myself.”
Lou Xiao'e smiled and refused.
"Your dad is watering the flowers in the backyard or reading the newspaper. There's nothing to do anyway."
"Hey, how are you and Xu Damao now? Hurry up and give Mommy a grandson!"
The mother and son chatted and laughed as they went upstairs to put down their luggage.
Lou Xiao'e's mother looked at her daughter. She felt that Lou Xiao'e had become much more beautiful. Her temperament was different from before. She thought, Maybe Xu Damao is really a good person. He didn't mistreat his daughter.
"Mom, don't keep talking about this. His parents are also rushing him.”
"Then I might as well not come back."
Lou Xiao'e pouted and said aggrievedly.
Xu Damao's parents 'mouths were really annoying. Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao had been married for almost half a year, but there was no movement in their stomachs. That meant that they had been nagged a lot and were about to die of annoyance.
Moreover, Xu Damao's parents were very protective of their children. Xu Damao was the only son, and his family was full of sisters. They were all married, but Xu Damao could not even withstand a single criticism. Lou Xiao'e was so despised that she could not even put herself to shame.
"Alright, alright, I won't rush you. I'll get your aunt to make whatever you want to eat!”
Mother Lou also doted on her daughter and hurriedly smiled.
"Hey, Mom, have you heard of Tan Family Cuisine?”
Lou Xiao'e remembered something and asked with a smile.
"Tan Family Cuisine? Where did you hear that?"
Lou Xiao'e's mother's expression changed. She frowned and stared at Lou Xiao'e.
