Yan Mo felt a wave of emotion in her heart. She didn't expect Liang Qingzhou to be so reliable, so she said sincerely, "Thank you."
Liang Qingzhou's corner of the mouth slightly turned up, his complexion indifferent, "I said, no need to say these two words."
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat subtle, and Yan Mo's heart also inexplicably accelerated its beating.
The two of them exchanged glances inadvertently. In the few seconds they looked at each other, the room became quiet again, as if an electric current was passing through the air.
"That, the day after tomorrow is the day for returning to the bride's parents' home. What things do I need to bring? I'll buy them in advance!" Liang Qingzhou moved his line of sight away first, making small talk.
Yan Mo also quickly withdrew her gaze, pinched the quilt with her hand, and feigned composure: "This, I'm not clear either. Why don't we ask Mom tomorrow what she brought when she returned to her maternal home."
Liang Qingzhou didn't really want to know what to bring for the return visit the day after tomorrow; he was just making small talk to ease the awkwardness.
The day of the return visit.
Liang Qingzhou got up early and went to the Study Room. Just as Yan Mo came out of the bedroom, she saw the living room piled full of Gifts.
Yan Mo looked at that pile of Gifts and was suddenly dumbfounded.
She saw that among the Gifts, there were high-end cigarettes and alcohol, exquisite health supplements, and various imported Fruits.
She turned her head to look at Liang Qingzhou, her eyes full of surprise, "You prepared so many?"
Liang Qingzhou stepped forward to clear himself, "I certainly didn't; they were all prepared by Parents."
At this moment, Liang Zhendong and Zhou Xiulan also came over: "It's not much, not much. It's a return visit! It can't be too shabby. A Young woman returning to her maternal home should bring more things so that your Parents have face."
Yan Mo's eyes turned slightly red, and she felt warm inside, "Parents, it's too much of a waste. Thank you both so much."
Zhou Xiulan pulled Yan Mo's hand and said with a smile: "Silly Child, family doesn't talk about two different families; these are all things that should be done."
Liang Qingzhou watched from the side; although he didn't speak, the corner of his mouth also unconsciously turned up.
"Shouldn't the return gifts be prepared by us?" Yan Mo was a bit confused. She had originally planned to buy them at the residential complex supermarket on the way home.
"It's fine, it's the same whether I buy them with your Father. This is also our token of appreciation for the In-laws." Zhou Xiulan said with a smile from the side, "Moreover, when your Sister-in-law came back to her maternal home that year, it was also your Father and I who prepared the things. Now that it's your turn, your Father and I must treat everyone equally, right?"
Yan Mo was full of emotion, feeling that she had married into a particularly warm family.
Currently, the Mother-in-law really did what she said and was a Mother-in-law who treated everyone equally, which could be seen from her giving chicken to the older brother and sister-in-law yesterday. It's just a pity that all of this would end in a year.
"Moreover, I don't have a daughter, only two Sons. So, I treat you and your Sister-in-law as my own daughters." After Zhou Xiulan finished speaking, she hurriedly urged Liang Qingzhou, "Zhouzhou, hurry up, carry all the things to the car. Don't be late for the return visit, and don't let your father-in-law and mother-in-law wait anxiously."
As they spoke, the whole family pitched in to move the Gifts into the car.
When they arrived at the maternal home, Father Yan and Mother Yan were both surprised and happy to see so many generous return gifts. On the day their daughter got married, the son-in-law had already sent several carloads of gifts when he came to pick her up; they didn't expect him to send so many more for the return visit.
They were very glad that their daughter did not marry Zhang Zheng.
Mother Yan held Yan Mo's hand and chided: "You two children, it's too much of a waste of money."
Yan Mo explained with a sense of pride: "Mom, these were all prepared by Qingzhou's Parents."
Yan Zhiyuan looked at Liang Qingzhou and nodded with satisfaction, "Qingzhou, go back and help me send my regards to your Parents. Tell your Father that when he has time, the two of us should have a drink."
"Alright, Father."
During meals, Su Yunxiu kept busy picking up food for her son-in-law. Yan Chen was jealous just watching, muttering that Mom had forgotten her good Son now that she had a son-in-law.
After the meal, Yan Mo helped her Mother clean up in the kitchen. Her Mother suddenly leaned in close to her. Seeing Liang Qingzhou and Old Yan chatting enthusiastically in the living room, and looking at the serious expression of her son-in-law, Su Yunxiu felt that her daughter had married the right person.
She felt very comforted and whispered: "Mo Mo, this child Qingzhou is really good, much stronger than Zhang Zheng. I also watched that video yesterday; Zhang Zheng apologized to you and also clarified the facts. This child Qingzhou knows how to handle things and treats you well; you must cherish him."
"Mom, don't mention Zhang Zheng again in the future, it's disheartening."
"Alright, alright, Mom won't say it anymore." Su Yunxiu was afraid her daughter would get angry and quickly stated her position.
"It's temporary for now, I don't know about the future." Yan Mo thought of something and took the opportunity to give her Mother a heads-up, "Mom, if one day I can't go on with Liang Qingzhou, you and Father must not be anxious."
"You child, what nonsense are you saying? You two just got married and you're saying such inauspicious words. Quickly spit it out!" Su Yunxiu was anxious.
Yan Mo looked at her Mother's anxious appearance and felt a wave of sourness in her heart, yet she didn't know how to explain.
"I was just saying it casually," Yan Mo said. "Who knows about the future? I dated Zhang Zheng for seven years and it didn't bear fruit, and I had a flash marriage with Qingzhou after meeting only once. We have no foundation of Feelings, so it's normal if we don't get along well."
"You two just got married, don't say these disheartening words." Su Yunxiu said earnestly, "Whether two people can stay together until they are old doesn't depend on how long they have been together, but on whether they are suitable. Look, your Father and I also met through a blind date in the family. At that time, the conditions of both families were not good, but we were a well-matched couple. We didn't know each other before marriage and had no Feelings, but after marriage, we slowly got along and developed Feelings. After you were born, it was even more like honey and oil. Even now that we are old, your Father still sticks to me every day; I go where he follows, and I can't shake him off. So, for a couple to live well, their character must be good. Why has Mom always told you not to get pregnant while dating Zhang Zheng? It's because Mom knew he was no good, and his economic conditions were also not good. Mom didn't want you to guard against him, but to be responsible for the Child and for yourself. Even if our family has some money, if the Man cannot stand on his own, relying on the maternal home is not a long-term plan."
"Mom, I understand." Yan Mo hadn't thought about having a future with Liang Qingzhou, and she didn't want to talk about Zhang Zheng anymore, so she quickly changed the subject.
"Mom, look at that wine Qingzhou's Parents bought for Father; Father likes it very much," Yan Mo said with a smile.
Su Yunxiu followed the topic: "Yes, the In-laws have a heart. When you go back, help me and your Father send our regards to your Parents-in-law. By the way, Mo Mo, in the few days since you got married, have you shared a bed with Qingzhou?"
Yan Mo's face turned slightly red. Not wanting her Mother to worry, she stammered and lied: "We... we have."
Su Yunxiu didn't doubt it, only thinking her daughter was shy, and had a face full of auntie smile: "Then that's settled. By the way, Mom tells you, now that you and Qingzhou are married, you don't need to use contraception anymore. First, because neither of you is young anymore; second, I feel this child Qingzhou has good character and is reliable; third is even simpler, your economic Strength is equivalent, and our two families can be considered a well-matched couple. After having a Child, you two can easily raise the Child well. With the help of both families, the life of you young couple won't be bad. I have nothing to do now; if you have a Child, send it back, and Mom will raise it for you. By the way, you go to work in Haicheng, so what about Qingzhou?"
