Liu Changqing's words completely shocked An Qianxun. His eyes widened a lot. He looked at him with an indifferent expression in front of him and remained silent for a long time...
Before he could figure it out, he saw Liu Changqing reaching out and patting his shoulder, speaking in a relaxed tone.
"You are married now and have a family of your own... Stop being so impulsive. Don't worry about your sister's affairs... Just leave it to me."
"Brother-in-law..."
"Okay, this topic is over."
Liu Changqing removed the hand on his shoulder and took out a few boxes of meat bought from the supermarket from the vegetables the couple bought.
Place it on the chopping board and start working.
After ending the topic, the kitchen became quiet for a while.
"Is there anything... you need my help with?"
Just when the atmosphere started to get weird, a sentence from the kitchen door caught their attention. An Qianxun and Liu Changqing looked at the door at the same time.
An Qianxun's wife was standing at the door, looking at the two people in the kitchen with a smile, and then Su Yan's voice came from beside her.
"I haven't cooked for a while. It's been a long time and I really want to try it... Changqing, you and Qianxun can go out and stay. The two of us can come."
After finishing speaking, Su Yan entered the kitchen looking a little impatient and rolled up her sleeves, looking like she was about to have a big fight.
"Ah, how can that be done...Mom, let me do it!"
Su Yan is not only his mother-in-law, but also a guest. How could Liu Changqing let her cook in person? She responded quickly.
The two began to exchange pleasantries back and forth.
But it was obvious that the real person in charge of the An family was Su Yan, who wanted to show off her cooking skills. She politely declined the offer from Liu Changqing at first.
Probably because he felt that Liu Changqing was too verbose, the smile on Su Yan's face dropped instantly as he spoke.
Liu Changqing, who was talking, noticed the other person's expression and closed his mouth instantly. Then he and An Qianxun, who was too frightened to say a word, left the kitchen dejectedly.
It wasn't until they left the kitchen that the two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Mr. An...how did you get here in this big life?
Liu Changqing couldn't help but think so.
After seeing Su Yan's ability to change her face just now, he probably understood why his father-in-law was particularly weak when facing his mother-in-law.
That aura...
An Qianxun muttered as if talking to himself.
"Oh...my mother is so terrible."
Hearing An Qianxun's words beside him, Liu Changqing not only became curious, but also looked at him and asked softly.
"By the way, I see...their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seem to get along very harmoniously. Isn't your wife afraid of our mother?"
"They get along very well... I remember my mother once said that my wife's personality is very similar to her when she was young. When I brought her home to meet my parents for the first time, my mother was very satisfied."
"I see, by the way...what do you call your sister-in-law? I don't know her name yet."
"Didn't I tell you?"
An Qianxun was stunned for a moment. After hearing Liu Changqing's inquiry, he thought about it carefully and later discovered that he did not seem to have told the other party his wife's name.
After reacting, he smiled sheepishly and then said.
"Her name is quite rustic... her surname is Ma and her name is Li Su."
"Marisu?!"
The moment Liu Changqing heard the name, he felt something was wrong deep in his heart, and was stunned for a while.
After coming back to his senses, he was shocked. He opened his mouth and shouted loudly, which made the father and daughter of the An family and Liu Xiazhi, who were surrounding the stroller, immediately look over.
Even Ma Lisu, who was in the kitchen, leaned out of the kitchen with a kitchen knife after hearing this, and stared curiously at Liu Changqing who called out her name.
Sensing the attention of everyone, Liu Changqing first looked at everyone blankly, then smiled awkwardly, and then hurriedly waved to his siblings at the kitchen door and explained.
"This is the first time I know your name. It is very similar to one of my former friends, so I was a little surprised just now... It's okay, don't worry about it."
"All right."
After listening to Liu Changqing's explanation, Ma Lisu didn't say anything more. After responding, she turned around and entered the kitchen again.
The others no longer looked at Liu Changqing. An Yuanyao and Liu Xiazhi also turned around and looked at the baby who had woken up in the stroller.
An Qianxun was a little surprised by his brother-in-law's reaction, but he didn't say much.
"Is the baby a boy or a girl?"
Liu Xiazhi held the side of the stroller with both hands and turned to ask An Quancheng, who had a serious expression. She didn't expect that the little guy who had been talking to his daughter just now would ask him.
After An Quancheng thought for a while, he responded in a cold tone.
"boy."
After confirming the gender of the baby, Liu Xiazhi was obviously more interested. She looked at the baby in the stroller again, stretched out her hand and poked him gently.
The chubby little baby was poked by Liu Xiazhi like this, and it was as if his smile had been touched. His chubby little face was suddenly filled with smiles.
A baby's laughter also came from his mouth.
Liu Xiazhi looked at the baby's smiling face. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. When she thought about her mother having a baby in her belly, she began to look forward to...the days after the baby was born.
Looking at her brother's son, An Yuanyao also touched her belly, also stretched out her hand, and gently rubbed the child's cheek.
Soft, smooth...elastic.
The child... is so cute.
Liu Changqing also came up, hugged An Yuanyao in front of everyone, and looked at the child in the stroller with her, neither of them said anything.
Due to time constraints, Su Yan and Ma Lisu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not cook too luxuriously, but only cooked some well-known dishes.
But Liu Changqing ate very happily.
Although the taste is not as good as his own cooking, he enjoys the feeling of eating together as a family.
He likes this kind of atmosphere.
An Quancheng and his family did not stay too long. They chose to leave after the time was almost up. When taking them away, they also told Liu Changqing and his wife that they would see them during the Chinese New Year.
At first they wanted to take An Yuanyao back, but An Yuanyao refused as expected. This time, An Quancheng and his wife did not force their daughter.
Instead, he chose to respect her, and the two of them could see it... In this family, An Yuanyao is happy, and her daughter is happy, and that is the most important thing.
Before Su Yan left, she also handed the gift prepared for Liu Zhiyue to Liu Changqing.
After they left, Liu Changqing opened it and took a look.
It's a jade similar to Liu Xiazhi's, but it's not a pig, but a horse, which corresponds to the zodiac sign of her son.
Liu Changqing didn't know the value of jade, but he knew without thinking that these two pieces of jade couldn't be cheap...
Speaking of jade, he still remembered that he once bought a rabbit-shaped jade pendant for An Yuanyao at a street stall. It was a fake that could be seen at a glance, and he compared it with the beautifully crafted one given by the other party's family...
Thinking of this, Liu Changqing stiffened his face and asked An Yuanyao.
"Do you still have the piece of jade I gave you before?"
"Of course I'll keep it."
"..."
After falling silent, Liu Changqing looked outside the balcony.
Take a deep breath.
"Throw it away...I'll buy you a real one tomorrow."
