Chapter 22

More than ten minutes later, while waiting for the red light, Zhou Qizhen also ended the call.

He glanced at the man and the dog in the co-pilot seat and said, “Did you not have breakfast?”

“Well, no, but I’m not hungry.” Afraid that he would arrive soon and she would have to wait for a long time, she got up and started to work hard, and she has not felt hungry until now.

“You still have to have breakfast, drink some milk.”

Zhou Qizhen handed her the milk on the central control box.

Lu Xiaoqiao was a little surprised, wondering how he knew she didn’t have breakfast, but she still said politely, “Thank you, Mr. Zhou.”

She took the milk and drank it with gritted teeth. In fact, she really hated the taste of milk, but she was embarrassed to say it, after all, it was bought with kindness.

“How do you put it in the bag?” Zhou Qizhen pointed at the dumpling she was holding. 🅆𝓦🅆.🅅🄾🅳𝙩𝙬1.𝘾ℂ

Just as he finished speaking, he saw the red light turn green and started the car.

“I’m afraid that it will shed hair and dirty the car. Sometimes when I go downstairs to crowded places, I’m afraid that there are people in the community who are afraid of dogs, so I put it in a bag like this. It’s used to it. You see, it doesn’t even bark.”

Zhou Qizhen glanced to the right: “Well, it looks pretty well-behaved.”

He didn’t even know whether he was talking about people or dogs.

The address of the Zhou family’s old house is next to the Yingyue Lake in the scenic area. It was smooth all the way before, but it was still blocked for ten minutes when it was almost to the old house.

The car drove into the yard, and Zhou Qizhen still parked the car under the golden osmanthus tree. Maybe because of the good weather, several people in the old house were sitting in the pavilion in the yard.

Lu Xiaoqiao looked at her mobile phone. It was almost eleven o’clock in the morning, but this time was just right to prepare lunch.

After saying hello to a few people, she went to the kitchen.

Zhao Yaqin looked at her and it seemed as if she came here just to cook shrimps.

How could this be possible? I went through so much trouble, instigating Lin Lin to eat shrimps, and asking Zhou’s father to call his son to talk about something. The purpose was not to let her be a chef.

“Xiao Qiao! Just tell me and Aunt Zhang how to do it, and you go to the yard to play with Qi Zheng… Lin Lin and the others.”

Zhao Yaqin had never done this before, and she was so nervous that she couldn’t even finish her sentence.

“It’s okay, grandma, I’ll do it and you can watch. I see there are still sea shrimps, and I’ll make salt and pepper shrimps later. I heard that Mr. Zhou also likes shrimps, so it’s just right to make two kinds today.”

Zhao Yaqin was stunned. She always knew that Qi Zheng liked to eat fish, but when did he like to eat shrimps? But she still smiled and agreed, “Yes, yes, Qi Zheng likes it.”

I originally wanted to let the two of them get in touch more and cultivate their feelings, but I couldn’t find any good excuses to force it out like this.

It would be better for me to cultivate a good relationship with her first, and maybe it could be a breakthrough in my relationship with Qi Zheng.

Thinking of this, I became more and more enthusiastic about Lu Xiaoqiao.

In the yard.

Lin Lin held Tuanzi and played in the pavilion for a while, and suddenly remembered that there were snacks she bought for Tuanzi at home. Because she was absent from work due to a foot injury, she did not give it to it. She also forgot about it when Xiao Qiao came a few days ago. She put Tuanzi on the table and went upstairs to get snacks.

Lin Lin’s foot was almost healed, but Lin Ziyang was worried that she would fall again when going upstairs, so he helped her upstairs to get it.

Zhou Qizhen took Tuanzi down from the table, put him on his lap, and tickled its chin to tease it.

Zhou’s father picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then glanced at his son.

“What’s the matter, are you… loving the girl so much that you love her too?”

A few days ago, his eldest daughter called him back and confirmed that he did have that idea about the girl.

The eldest daughter was afraid that she would not agree because of the family background. If it was a few years ago, she would not agree.

But in the past few years, they have quarreled a lot because of Zhou Qizhen’s marriage. At first, she thought he just refused the marriage, but later she found out that he didn’t even want to get married. It was tiring to think about it. Now, as long as he is willing to get married, she will be happy

. Seeing that he didn’t say anything, Zhou’s father snorted and said with a smile: “Did you hear her just now? She called me grandpa! Can you pay more attention? You can’t even handle such a small thing.”

Since Zhou Qizhen was sensible, he has never worried him, whether in study or work, and he can’t find any faults for him to scold his son.

Today, he finally got the chance.

“What’s the point of you holding a dog? It’s a real talent for me to hold my grandson!”

“Look at the little grandson of your uncle Sun’s family. He can recite the “Disciples’ Rules” so well that he almost memorized the whole book.” “

At your age, there are only you, Yuxuan and Shen Yi. I don’t know what you think about all day. Shen Yi at least has a fiancée.” 𝙒𝓦𝓦.𝙑𝙊𝙙𝓣𝓦1.𝓒🅲

At the end, Zhou’s father said to himself, “Hey, I don’t know when you can settle down.”

“What to settle? Grandpa, what are you talking about with your uncle?”

Seeing that the two people who went upstairs to get something just now came back, Zhou’s father didn’t say anything. He still had to save face for his son in front of the younger generation. After the meal was ready in the kitchen, Zhao Yaqin came out to call a few people to eat.

The seats they sat in were the same as a few days ago. The atmosphere was different from last time. Today, everyone seemed to be in a good mood, and they talked at the table like an ordinary family.

“Xiao Qiao cooked two kinds of shrimp today, one mustard shrimp and one pepper shrimp. Xiao Qiao, how can you be so good at cooking at such a young age?”

When Lin Lin heard Zhao Yaqin’s praise for the little sister, she quickly echoed, “Of course! Xiao Qiao can cook a lot of dishes.”

Her words were full of pride, and then as if she had thought of something, she continued with a smile, “Whoever marries Xiao Qiao as his wife in the future will be so happy.”

Zhao Yaqin glanced at Zhou Qizhen, who was sitting opposite, and saw that he was staring at the girl.

After noticing that Zhao Yaqin was also looking at him, he immediately lowered his head and ate the food in the bowl as if nothing had happened.

Zhao Yaqin raised the corner of her mouth, then turned her head to Lu Xiaoqiao and asked casually, “Xiaoqiao is not in a relationship now, right? What kind of boyfriend do you like? I have a suitable one to introduce to you.”

Lu Xiaoqiao didn’t expect to be asked about relationship issues when she came to a friend’s house for dinner. Before she could say anything, Lin Lin took over the question.

“No way, grandma, Xiao Qiao and I are the same age. Who is in a hurry to get married at the age of 22?”

Zhou’s father disagreed: “When your mother was your age, she already had your brother.”

Zhao Yaqin: “What kind of person does Xiao Qiao like? If you ask me, this woman should choose a marriage partner who is older than herself and will be caring.”

“Then someone with a better family background and a career, so that she won’t have to worry about material things after marriage. Men! They should be mature, stable and sophisticated. What do you think, Xiao Qiao?”

“Puff!” Lin Ziyang couldn’t help laughing: “Grandma, what you said is not about finding a husband, it’s more like finding a dad.”

“My brother is right, this is obviously looking for a dad, hehe, at our age we all like sunny men, right, Xiao Qiao.”

Lu Xiaoqiao was most afraid of being caught in the middle of this kind of question, and she had no idea how to answer it.

Zhao Yaqin scolded, “What do you know, kid? Let Xiaoqiao speak for herself. What kind of person do you like?”

If she didn’t give a clear answer, it would be no good. Lu Xiaoqiao thought for a while and replied seriously, “Personality is easy to say. It’s OK if the two of you can get along well. The most important thing is to have a good eye for each other.” This is Lu Xiaoqiao’s biggest standard. As for successful careers and good families, she dare not even think about it. As for family background, it is better to be well-matched.

She didn’t want to be like her good friend Qin Momo, who almost lost her life because of love.

Zhao Zhizhi said that the scumbag was disliked by his parents because of his family’s wealth and family background.
