Chapter 153 The daughter and son-in-law are back
Xu Xiaozhou pulled Li Jici out of the supermarket despite the strange look from the cashier.
“Can’t you speak well?”
Li Jici put the fruit into the back seat of the car, “Why didn’t I speak well?”
He asked her, "Am I not explaining to her?"
He said seriously, "Explain that I am a strict wife."
Xu Xiaozhou:...
She gave him a speechless look, opened the door and got into the passenger seat.
Strong words make sense.
Li Jici laughed, got into the driver's seat and started the car again.
When the security guard on duty in the security room of the community saw Li Jici, he greeted him cordially.
"Xiao Li, why didn't you come back last weekend?"
Li Jici took out a pack of cigarettes from the storage box and handed it over, his attitude was so mild that he said, "Last weekend Something has delayed you.”
“I haven’t seen you for half a month. You look a lot younger.”
“Young man is really good at talking.”
"You should cut your hair. This hairstyle suits you. It makes you look energetic and young."
The security guard was so coaxed that he almost couldn't find his way, and wrinkles appeared at the corners of his smiling eyes, "Hey, your eyes are really sharp."< br>
The two exchanged pleasantries for a few times. It was not until Li Jici drove away that the security guard said hello to her as if he had finally seen Xu Xiaozhou.
Xu Xiaozhou:...
Forget it, I’m used to it.
Others are just "friends of women," but in her opinion, Li Jici should be given the title of "friend of security guards."
The car drove into the community and parked in the parking space allocated to the Xu family.
Li Jici was holding two bags of fruit in one hand, and wanted to hold Xu Xiaozhou with the other hand, but she ducked out of the way.
"Huh?" He cast a doubtful glance at her.
Xu Xiaozhou: “Walk well.”
The people coming and going in the community are all acquaintances who have watched her grow up, so it would be embarrassing to be bumped into.
Li Jici has always been smart, and he understood her concerns in a flash of thought, and then raised his arm towards her, "Then hold hands."
"Otherwise the neighbors will see us leaving. Damn, you’ll think we’ve had a quarrel.”
Xu Xiaozhou thought for a while and raised her hand to hold his arm.
On weekends, the flow of people in the community is particularly large, not to mention that it is close to dinner time, and everyone is rushing home.
In the short journey from the parking space to the unit building, Xu Xiaozhou had already bumped into several neighbors, and his smiling face almost froze.
Compared with the two, Li Jici seemed to be much more at ease. He opened his mouth like an uncle and shut up his aunt. His calm and generous appearance made all the old neighbors smile. They all praised Xu Xiaozhou for his good vision and his ability to find a partner. .
As soon as we walked downstairs of the unit, a sharp-eyed neighbor saw Xu’s mother Zhou Ying hanging clothes on the balcony, so she shouted at the top of her lungs, “Teacher Zhou, your daughter and son-in-law are back.”< br>
The man who shouted had a loud voice. As soon as he finished speaking, the neighbors at home in the building walked to the balcony one after another, stretching their necks and looking down.
Xu Xiaozhou: “……”
She wished she had eight legs now.
Li Jici raised his head calmly, as if he didn't see the extra heads in front of the other windows. He only smiled at Zhou Ying and nodded with a smile.
Zhou Ying leaned against the window with a smile and waved to them, "Come up quickly."
Xu Xiaozhou pulled Li Jici into the corridor and climbed upstairs in one breath.
Before I knocked on the door, the door in front of me was pushed open from the inside.
Xu Mengying was wearing pajamas and smiled sweetly, "Sister~"
She glanced at Li Jici, quickly called her brother-in-law in a low voice, and then clung to Xu Xiaozhou.
"Uncle Li is so serious." She complained, "Why is his voice so loud?" Uncle Li was the man who had just shouted to Xu's mother downstairs that his daughter and son-in-law were back.
Before Xu Xiaozhou had time to speak, Xu’s mother walked into the living room after drying her clothes and glared at Xu Mengying, “Don’t speak ill of people behind their backs.”
Then he smiled and greeted Li Jici in seconds, "I just went home to have a meal, why did I buy fruit?"
Li Jici: "Mom, that's right."
Xu Mother: "Xiao Ci, you have good taste. Even the apples you picked are red and round, and they look particularly sweet at first glance."
Xu Xiaozhou: "..."
Those apples were clearly chosen by her. , and they are all taken casually.
Listening to his mother and Li Jici performing "mother's kindness and son's filial piety" behind him, Xu Xiaozhou couldn't help but roll his eyes at the air.
Xu Mengying was also speechless. Ms. Zhou Ying was too partial.
The sisters looked at each other and stayed away from here in tacit agreement.
Xu Mengying pulled Xu Xiaozhou into her room. Li Jici glanced at their backs and walked towards the kitchen to help Xu Changmin who was making dinner, which also attracted a burst of praise from Xu's mother.
In Xu Mengying's room, she quietly took out a few bags of spicy strips from the desk drawer and couldn't wait to share them with Xu Xiaozhou.
Xu Xiaozhou: "...when did you buy it again?"
Xu Mengying smiled and said, "I asked Xiaobai to buy it for me."
Xiaobai is the grandson of the neighbor downstairs. She is in the third grade of elementary school this year. She will give each other a few yuan for running errands every time. The little boy goes out of his way to help her buy spicy noodles at the store in front of the elementary school.
Xu Xiaozhou:...
It always sounds familiar.
This is how she used to order Xu Mengying.
The sisters each tore open a pack of spicy strips and chatted and gossiped while eating. They were extremely intimate.
Xu Xiaozhou talked about having an outdoor barbecue at the villa tomorrow night, and Xu Mengying offered to participate without saying a word.
“The evening subway stops at 10:30, so I can go back to school in time.”
Xu Xiaozhou: “How about staying there for one night?”
Xu Mengying looked in pain, "The day after tomorrow is eight in the morning."
Xu Xiaozhou looked at her sympathetically, "Then you leave early tomorrow night."
Xu Mengying's troubles left as quickly as they came, and they went away as quickly as they came. Talking about school gossip.
She joined the student union at the university and started to be responsible for the operation of the school's confession wall this semester. She received submissions from students almost every day, eating to her heart's content and gaining a lot of insights.
Xu Xiaozhou was also eye-opening as he listened.
It feels like college life now is much more exciting than when she was in school.
Time went by while chatting, until a knock on the door interrupted the sisters' growing desire for gossip.
Li Jici's voice then sounded, "Zhou Zhou, it's time to eat."
The happy atmosphere in the bedroom came to an abrupt end.
Xu Xiaozhou got up and opened the door, "Here we come."
The door opened and the two looked at each other.
Li Jici's eyes fell on her and he didn't look further into the room.
He smelled a faint spicy smell, and after seeing the traces of her mouth that had not been wiped clean, he quietly raised the corners of his lips and reminded in a low voice, "Mouth."
Xu Xiaozhou: "Huh?"
Li Jici: "I didn't wipe the corners of my mouth clean."
Xu Xiaozhou guiltily took a tissue to wipe her mouth, and Xu Mengying, who was standing behind her, immediately did the same action.

January 21st, light rain.
I saw her in the cafeteria tonight. Is she feeling unwell? I actually didn't finish even a small portion of shredded pork noodles with pickled vegetables.
