Mother Chen looks to be about forty years old, with her hair neatly tied back and a gentle smile on her face, giving her a kind of intellectual beauty. .
She was wearing a simple dress, and she looked neat and tidy.
Mother Chen saw Zhou Ziwen standing behind her daughter at a glance, with a trace of curiosity and scrutiny flashing in her eyes.
She immediately realized that this should be the husband Qiao Yi often mentioned, her son-in-law.
A warm smile bloomed on Chen’s mother’s face, and she greeted enthusiastically: “Oh, you are Ziwen, right? Come in, come in.”
Zhou Ziwen took a step forward politely and greeted Mother Chen with a smile: "Hello, aunt, I am Zhou Ziwen. I have heard Yiyi and Shiying mention you for a long time, and we finally met today."
His voice Gentle and sincere, revealing a kind of stability and reliability.
Mother Chen looked at the young man in front of her carefully and nodded secretly in her heart.
Zhou Ziwen has a tall and tall figure, a handsome face, and a light of tenacity and wisdom in his eyes. More importantly, his attentiveness and care for Qiaoyi can be felt from their interactions.
The mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at him, the more she likes him. Mother Chen’s first impression of Zhou Ziwen was very good.
"You still call me aunt?" Chen Ma deliberately kept a straight face, but her eyes were full of smiles.
“Mom.” Zhou Ziwen quickly changed his words.
“Hey!” Chen Ma heard this and smiled from ear to ear. She took Zhou Ziwen’s hand and pulled her inside, “Come on, come on, don’t stand at the door, come in and sit down.”
Zhou Ziwen thanked him repeatedly, feeling both nervous and expectant in his heart.
Entering the house, Zhou Ziwen looked around. The interior was simple and warm, and every item was placed in an orderly manner, revealing the care and taste of the hostess.
The two sisters couldn't wait to show off the gifts brought by Zhou Ziwen. Every time they took out a gift, they excitedly explained its origin and purpose.
Mother Chen’s eyes were filled with emotion as she looked at the table full of local products, especially the soft wool shawl.
“Oh, Ziwen, you are so polite, you just came and brought so many things.”
Mother Chen blamed her, but her eyes were filled with tears. Smiling, his satisfaction with Zhou Ziwen was beyond words.
She didn't care about the gifts from Zhou Ziwen, she cared about Zhou Ziwen's attitude.
After all, it was her first time to meet Zhou Ziwen. She had heard something from the two sisters in the letter before, but she was still a little worried since she didn't see him in person.
Zhou Ziwen quickly explained: "Mom, these are all things that should be done. If Qiaoyi marries me, I will be your son-in-law. These are all my thoughts."
Mother Chen After hearing this, she smiled from ear to ear and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, you are interested. Qiaoyi is lucky to marry you."
The two sisters also echoed, The atmosphere is warm and harmonious.
Watching this scene, Zhou Ziwen felt a warm current in his heart.
He knew that he had been recognized by Chen's mother, which made him full of confidence in the future relationship.
"Ziwen, how are you, Qiaoyi and Shiying living in the countryside? I heard from Qiaoyi that you also worked as a health worker there, which is really amazing." Mother Chen asked with concern.
Zhou Ziwen smiled and nodded, "Auntie, we live a good life in the countryside, and the folks there take good care of us. I also learned a lot there, and I feel like I have grown a lot."
Mother Chen nodded with a gratified smile on her face, "That's good, that's good. It's a valuable asset for you young people to have such an experience."
During lunch, Mother Chen prepared a table of sumptuous dishes, and the family sat around the table in a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
Zhou Ziwen felt the enthusiasm and care of Mother Chen, and the last trace of nervousness in his heart disappeared. After lunch, Mother Chen took Zhou Ziwen to sit down in the living room and brewed a pot of fine Longjing tea.
The aroma of tea rises, adding a bit of elegance to this warm afternoon.
“Ziwen, it’s fate that you and Qiaoyi can get together. Qiaoyi has been sensible and considerate since she was a child. Although we are parents, we are always worried that she will be wronged when she is alone outside. ." Mother Chen's words were full of love and care.
Zhou Ziwen listened carefully, and a warm current surged in his heart.
He looked tenderly at Chen Qiaoyi sitting beside him, his eyes full of love and gratitude.
"Mom, don't worry, I will always take good care of Qiaoyi and never let her suffer any injustice. I will use everything I have to love and cherish her."

"Seeing you treat Qiaoyi so sincerely, my heart feels at ease. Qiaoyi, you have a vision and have found a good home."
Chen Qiaoyi gently Snuggled next to Zhou Ziwen, a happy smile filled his face.
"Mom, Brother Ziwen is really good to me, and I cherish the relationship between us."
Chen Shiying also smiled and interjected: "Yes, Mom, Ziwen is very good. When he was in the country, he took good care of both of us."
Hearing this, Mrs. Chen became even more convinced that she was right.
She patted the back of Zhou Ziwen's hand and said sincerely: "Ziwen, you will still have a long way to go in the future, and you will inevitably encounter some difficulties and challenges. But as long as you trust each other and support each other, there will be no problem. It’s a hurdle that can’t be overcome.”
Zhou Ziwen nodded vigorously, with a firm light shining in his eyes.
"Mom, you are right. I will use my actions to prove that Qiaoyi is right to choose me. No matter what the future holds, I will hold Qiaoyi's hand and walk together."
Continue After coming down, Chen Ma began to care about the lives of the two sisters in the countryside.
After being apart for such a long time, both Mother Chen and the two sisters have a lot to say.
Especially now that Chen Qiaoyi is pregnant, Chen’s mother has taught her a lot of experience.
"Qiaoyi, you should pay special attention to your diet when you are pregnant and eat more nutritious things, such as eggs and vegetables..." Mother Chen warned carefully.
"Mom, I understand. Brother Ziwen took good care of me when he was in the countryside and often prepared delicious food for me." Chen Qiaoyi replied obediently.
"That's good. I can rest assured that Ziwen is a careful kid. However, you should also pay attention to rest and don't be too tired." Mother Chen continued.
"Yeah, I will, Mom." Chen Qiaoyi nodded.
"Shiying, you should take more care of Qiaoyi in the countryside. After all, she is pregnant now and it is not convenient for her to move." Chen's mother said to Chen Shiying again.
"Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of my sister." Chen Shiying said.
"Also, Ziwen, you should spend more time with Qiaoyi and put her in a good mood. This will also be good for the fetus." Mother Chen said to Zhou Ziwen.
"Mom, I will. I will try to spend as much time with her as possible." Zhou Ziwen said.
"By the way, how is your work in the countryside? Is it hard?" Mother Chen asked.
"Mom, we are growing mushrooms in the countryside, and the work is not too hard. Moreover, Brother Ziwen is very capable. He leads everyone to grow mushrooms, which increases the production and everyone's income." Chen Shiying said. (End of this chapter)
