But it was said that Xu Damao brought a lot of things from home and bought a lot more when passing by the department store on the road.
Looking at the large and small packages of gifts, the bicycle could hardly hang on. Lou Xiao'e was very moved, but she also muttered:
"Da Mao, why are you so generous all of a sudden? You don't look like you anymore."
Xu Damao scratched Lou Xiao'e's nose and said with a smile:
"You can't be empty-handed during this Chinese New Year. Besides, I wasn't sensible before, so you said you didn't even remind me.
Humans have to go through some things to grow. Don’t worry, I will definitely get better and better in the future and make you the happiest woman in the courtyard.
I’m so jealous of the women in those courtyards!”
Lou Xiao'e felt sweet in her heart when she heard this, but her face still looked like a proud peacock and said:
"Humph, I guess you are wise, I don't care about other people's opinions, as long as we both live well.
For the sake of your maturity, I won’t mention Qin Xiaoli’s incident in the future.”
The two of them carried a lot of gifts and walked into the house chatting and laughing. When Lou's mother saw the smiles on their faces, she felt relieved.
A while ago, Lou Xiao'e was frightened that she wanted to get divorced. Now it seems that the two of them are happy to welcome it after the rain has passed.
She took the things from their hands and said with a smile:
"Come on, why do you bring so many things?"
"Mom, this one is for you, that one is for dad. I was ignorant before and failed to honor you properly, so I apologize to you."
Seeing Xu Damao's sincere look, Lou's mother was greatly moved. She had long said that Xu Damao would mature one day, and she even quarreled with Lou's father about this.
This scene was something she had fantasized about for a long time, and now it happened without any warning. In addition to being happy, Lou’s mother was also proud, so she scolded:
"Hey, as a family, these words are heretical. Come on, let's sit down and talk."
Lou's mother enthusiastically arranged for Xu Damao to sit down, and glanced at Lou's father aside. At this time, he was not squinting, and he was sitting on the main seat seriously, as if he was not listening to what was going on outside the window.
Then he stepped forward and stabbed Lou's father, but when he saw that the other party was still unmoved, Lou's mother finally couldn't bear it any longer and said:
"Look at you, your son-in-law came to the door, you didn't even know how to say a few words, and he brought you so many things..."
Father Lou is still angry at this moment. He himself doesn't like Xu Damao's clumsy structure and small farmer ideas.
What's more, his son-in-law was even rude when he came to visit us a few days ago. He just tried to persuade him to go to the hospital for a checkup, but he got angry.
Lou's father had been upset for several days, but he still couldn't accept this tone. He looked up at Lou's mother with a slight reproach, and then said to Xu Damao in a nonchalant manner:
"Why are you here today?"
Before Xu Damao came, he had already guessed that Lou's father would definitely come here. Normally, this father-in-law would not have a good look on him, not to mention that the two of them had quarreled a few days ago.
But he was not afraid. Father Lou was like a paper tiger. He looked fierce, but in reality he could only slap his face and scold him a few times.
It didn't hurt or itch, so it didn't matter if he got used to it, and he also had a mission today, so he could only be a grandson, so he said with a flattering smile:
"Dad, I came here today specifically to apologize to you. Since I went back last time, I have been having trouble sleeping and eating, and I feel very sad..."
After Xu Damao finished speaking, seeing Lou's father's expression of disbelief, he pulled Lou Xiao'e over and said:
"If you don't believe me, ask Ezi."
Lou Xiao'e looked at Xu Damao's low-brow look, and it was hard to show off his face at the moment, so she had no choice but to step forward and squeeze Lou's father's shoulders while saying:
"Dad, Damao really knows that he was wrong. Just give him a chance."
Father Lou is also full of surprise now. Xu Damao was only respectful to his father-in-law before getting married. It is the first time he behaves like this after getting married.
He originally thought that his attitude, based on Xu Damao's narrow character, would definitely make him say harsh words that would offend people.
He was prepared to not look good to others all day long, but Xu Damao was like this, but he couldn't be punished!
"Well, as elders, don't we all wish you a good life? Look at you that day, I just asked you to go to the hospital for a check-up.
Those words of yours, about being disrespectful, being nosy, and being a chicken that doesn’t lay eggs, are they what you should have said to me and Lou Xiao’e?
Am I not allowed to interfere with my daughter’s affairs? Did I do something wrong by marrying you after raising such a big girl..."
Father Lou still couldn't hold back the anger in his heart. He scolded Xu Damao for more than ten minutes, and saw that the other party kept nodding and apologizing.
The anger that had been pent up in his heart for many days has finally subsided. At this moment, when he took a look at the gifts prepared by Xu Damao, Father Lou felt very good.
He is not an unforgiving person either. At first he was angry with his uncle for bullying his daughter, but now he comes to apologize and has listened to his scolding for so long.
Even if he has shown sincerity, as an elder, he can no longer keep putting on airs.
Besides, Xu Damao is unwilling to go to the hospital for examination. As a man, he can understand his mood. Since his daughter Lou Xiao'e is fine, the problem must be with Xu Damao.
After thinking about it, in order to take his face into consideration, he softened his tone and said:
"Oh, if you don't have children, then you won't have children. Don't force it, as long as you two live a good life."
After hearing this, Xu Damao couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Which man can accept the end of his family? How can two people live well without children?
Lou Xiao'e can't give birth to this child. The Lou family doesn't coax his uncle, but he has to tease her. It's really unreasonable!
Just as he was thinking about this, Lou's mother invited everyone to eat. Xu Damao pretended to have a "big appetite" and ate a big bowl of rice as soon as he came.
He knew in his heart that in the Lou family, only his mother believed in him unconditionally, so he had to be coaxed.
"Mom, the Tan's cuisine you cooked is so authentic, it's so delicious that my tongue almost swallowed it."
Seeing Xu Damao devouring his food and hearing his compliments, Lou’s mother immediately smiled from ear to ear and said:
"You kid has such a sweet mouth. It's not that good. It's just some ordinary home-cooked food."
"This is not a compliment, it's the truth. There is a chef in our courtyard, and he inherits Tan's cuisine.
When I eat his cooking, I feel it is very good. Our factory director also said that his craftsmanship is excellent, but compared with yours, it is really far behind."
As soon as Xu Damao finished speaking, he saw Lou's mother smiling even more happily, and kept picking up vegetables for himself, and his bowl was piled up into a small mountain.
"You kid, I don't even know what to say when you praise me so much. Eat more..."
Lou Xiao'e stared at Xu Damao dumbfounded, and was amazed in her heart. How could this man have opened up the two channels of Ren and Du?
In the past, he was like a piece of wood, always choking her with words, and a dog couldn't spit out ivory. How come he is so good at talking now?
