Reborn in the 1970s, the cold soldier is a bit sweet

"As long as you like it."

Seeing that her daughter-in-law really liked them, Zhou Ailian was very happy and quickly went back to the house to get some pairs of embroidered insoles: "Xiaoxiao, do you like any of these?"

The insoles are also specially prepared for my daughter-in-law, who was too embarrassed to take them out before.

How could the smart Wang Xiaoxiao not understand what her mother-in-law meant? She picked it up and looked at it carefully, then raised her head and said playfully: "Mom, what should I do? I like it so much."

Zhou Ailian felt happy when she heard this: "If you like it, just take it and change the pads."

Wang Xiaoxiao took her arm and said coquettishly: "Mom, you are so kind."

"By the way, Mom, I brought you a gift too."

As Wang Xiaoxiao said this, he stood up and went to look through the things he brought back today.

Zhou Ailian liked her coquettishness very much, and thought that it would be better to have a coquettish daughter-in-law. This coquettishness was really rare, unlike her stinky son who always had a stinky face.

As she got along with her, she gradually began to treat Xiaoxiao as her own daughter. When she heard that she had brought her a gift, her face lit up with joy. The gift was not important, what was important was that the child was thinking of her. , which was very useful to her.

No wonder some people say that their daughter is a little cotton-padded jacket. This is so thoughtful.

"You kid, what gift are you bringing me? This is not spending money indiscriminately."

Although she complained, her tone was full of pleasure.

Wang Xiaoxiao quickly took out the clothes and shoes he bought for Zhou Ailian: "Mom, try to see if they suit you."

After saying that, he pushed his mother-in-law into the house.

Zhou Ailian went back to the house with a smile, put on the clothes bought by her daughter-in-law, stood in front of the mirror, looked left and right, and felt something strange in her heart. She wished she could go back immediately to show off to a group of old sisters.

They can only envy such a good daughter-in-law.

Wang Xiaoxiao looked it up and down, and had to say that the salespersons were very professional, and the size they got was just right for her mother-in-law.

She smiled and praised: "Mom, you look good in your clothes."

"The clothes Xiaoxiao chose are beautiful."

The smile on Zhou Ailian's face never faded. She looked at it happily in front of the mirror for a while, then reluctantly changed out of her clothes and put them back on her original outfit.

This outfit doesn't look cheap, I will wear it when I go out from now on.

She said while folding clothes: "Xiaoxiao, I can't buy more clothes for Mom in the future. If I buy more for you, the girl will have to wear new clothes and dress up beautifully. At Mom's age, clothes are wasteful. "

Wang Xiaoxiao responded, but he thought the opposite in his heart. The old man had suffered all his life. Now that his children have grown up, they should enjoy the blessings. As a half-daughter, his daughter-in-law should also be filial to them.

Besides, the human heart is made of flesh. If your mother-in-law is good to you, you will naturally be good to her.

After resting for a while, Wang Xiaoxiao went to sort out the things he brought back today.

Zhou Ailian naturally went to help. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to the kitchen. Wang Xiaoxiao opened the snakeskin bag and took out the contents one by one.

"Xiaoxiao, why did you buy so many things?"

Zhou Ailian did not expect that this big bag was full of food, including rice, noodles, meat, vegetables, as well as twists, cakes, fruits, daily necessities...

"Mom, I met a friend today. She has an acquaintance in a department store. She got a [-]% discount on shopping. It was much cheaper, so I bought some more for us to use slowly."

Wang Xiaoxiao said half truthfully, and no one would come to ask her what she bought anyway.

She was really grateful to Zhao Xiaoli for giving her a perfect excuse.

Zhou Ailian was very happy after hearing this. With so many things, she will save at least seven or eight yuan, which can buy a lot of things.

She thought for a while and said: "Xiaoxiao, you have to thank your friend. If you have time, treat others to a meal or give them something."

Her daughter-in-law was too young, and Zhou Ailian was afraid that she would not understand these interpersonal interactions, so she couldn't help but teach her experience.

Listening to her mother-in-law's teachings, Wang Xiaoxiao felt warm in her heart. Her mother-in-law treated her sincerely, so she told her these things.

Although she knew these basic human ways, she still listened carefully: "Mom, I took note of it."

After packing their things, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law rested for a while and then started preparing dinner.

When Chu Xingchen came back, he saw his mother and daughter-in-law talking and laughing in the kitchen. With such an intimate look, those who didn't know better thought they were mother and daughter.

He didn't make a sound to disturb them, he just stood there, looking at the two of them tenderly.

Wang Xiaoxiao put the food in the pot onto a plate and was about to take it out when he looked up and saw Chu Xingchen standing at the door. Thinking of what happened last night, the smile on his face faded.

She put the plate on the chopping board and took the kitchen knife from her mother-in-law: "Mom, let me cut it. You bring the dishes to the dining table and rest for a while. I will do the rest by myself."

Seeing that the smile on her face had disappeared, Zhou Ailian was stunned for a moment. She looked up and saw her silly son standing there. She immediately understood why her daughter-in-law didn't go out.

She glared at her son and took the kitchen knife from her daughter-in-law's hand: "Xiaoxiao, mom, come on, you go out and talk to Xingchen, then I'll call you."

With that said, she pushed Wang Xiaoxiao out and closed the kitchen door, trying to reduce her presence as much as possible.

I thought to myself, son, there’s only so much mom can help you with, the rest is up to you.

Wang Xiaoxiao looked at the closed kitchen door. How could she not know her mother-in-law's intentions? But now she really didn't want to be alone with Chu Xingchen, so she chose to ignore it.

Anyway, it would be a while before the meal was ready, so she turned around and went back to the house.

When Chu Xingchen saw her coming out, he was about to move forward when he saw her turning back to the bedroom indifferently and closing the door.

He froze on the spot, looking at the closed door, feeling very uncomfortable.

After finally mustering up the courage to apologize and explain, my heart faded away.

After being stunned for a long time, he stepped forward and opened the door and walked in.

Wang Xiaoxiao was sitting in a chair with her back to the door in a daze. When she heard the sound of the door opening and familiar footsteps, she knew it was Chu Xingchen who had come in.

She didn't want to pay attention to him, so she didn't look back or move, and continued to be in a daze.

Chu Xingchen stood behind her and suddenly said: "Mom said you went to the city today?"

Wang Xiaoxiao nodded and said "Yeah".

"Do you still have money?"

"Have."

After a few simple conversations, the room fell into silence again.

Chu Xingchen felt very uncomfortable looking at the woman who always had her back turned to him. After a long silence, he spoke again: "Are you going to the institute tomorrow?"

"Ah."

"Can you do it alone? Do you want me to take you there?"

"Need not."

Chu Xingchen had a headache. He was a person who didn't talk much. Now he was racking his brains to have a conversation with her, but he didn't expect to get such a cold attitude from her.
