Updated today, ps: There will be three updates tomorrow.

--------------------------

This night, Zhou Mikang remained silent.

When returning to the room to rest, Chu Xia looked at her with a puzzled expression: "Did something happen?"

"No, you have a good rest..." Zhou Mikang said as he tucked her into the bed, "Tomorrow we have to go to the courtyard to pay New Year greetings, so go to bed early."

"Don't be perfunctory!" Chu Xia glared at him dissatisfied, "Look at your face, it's clearly written with the words 'I'm unhappy'. If you don't tell me, will I be able to sleep?"

Zhou Mikang reached out and touched his cheek: "Is it really that obvious?"

"What do you think?" Chu Xia curled her lips at him, "I'm just pregnant, and I'm not stupid. During dinner today, everyone was very talkative. Grandma, grandma, and mother ran back to the room early to go to bed. If you want to say It’s okay, I won’t believe it even if you beat me to death.”

Seeing that Zhou Mikang was still silent, Chu Xia rolled her eyes at him: "I don't want to say that I'm a loser. If I didn't feel that I was also a member of the Zhou family, I wouldn't ask."

"Grandma Jiang was seriously ill. Jiang Xue came over and begged her grandparents to see her and talk to her. Grandpa, grandma and mother agreed, and Xiaosi also agreed..." After sighing, Zhou Mikang continued, "I'm not I feel that the elders should not agree. I feel uncomfortable when I think of my sister being bullied and pretending that nothing happened with a shy smile."

"No wonder I suddenly decided to go to New Year's greetings tomorrow..." Frowning, Chu Xia looked at Zhou Mikang, "I hear what you want, my fourth sister also wants to go together tomorrow?"

Zhou Mikang shook his head: "She won't go."

Chu Xia breathed a sigh of relief, then said with a puzzled look on her face: "Then why do you say she has to put on a shy smile and pretend that nothing happened?"

"Your brain..." Zhou Mikang rubbed her head helplessly, "I'm usually very smart, but now I can't figure it out. She didn't want to go, but Mom asked for her opinion. She must remember that paragraph thing.

Yes, she told her mother that she didn't mind and let her mother and grandparents do whatever they wanted. But if you think about her character, how can someone who can't hold a grain of sand in her eyes really have no sex at all?

But with Grandma Jiang's physical condition, if she showed any signs of being unhappy, it would be magnified and become the target of public criticism. She was obviously unhappy, but she had to pretend to be happy.

Pregnant again..." After sighing, Zhou Mikang stopped talking.

Understood what he was worried about. Chu Xia looked at him with a touch of emotion. This man, in front of outsiders, was so cold and hard, indifferent. But in front of his family, he has the softest and most transparent heart in the world.

She moved to the bed and reached out to hold his arm: "I won't go to Jiang's house to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow. I'll go find Fourth Sister."

"No need..." Zhou Mikang held her in his arms and reached out to rub her head, "Grandma Jiang likes you very much, and you occupy a particularly important position in the Jiang family. If you don't go, Grandma Jiang will definitely have more think.

I still say the same thing, I don't object to visiting Grandma Jiang, I just feel sorry for Xiao Si after New Year's greetings. Let’s pick up Xiaosi and take her home for a few days. Can you and her chat more? "

"Okay." Chu Xia nodded quickly, "I will accompany her well. We are both pregnant now. We will have a lot of common topics. Don't worry, she and I will definitely not be left alone."

"You two have never been alone together before..." Zhou Mikang rarely laughed, "When you two are together, how can you talk to others?"

"That's because we are destined. Fourth sister said that she liked me the first time she saw me..." After a pause, Chu Xia broke away from Zhou Mikang's arms and sat across from him, "I'm serious, When I first came to the Zhou family, my favorite was also the fourth sister."

"Huh?" Zhou Mikang frowned and stared at her with dissatisfaction, "Really?"

"Of course it's true..." Chu Xia looked at him in confusion, "Aren't you happy that my fourth sister and I have a good relationship? Why?"

"How can I be unhappy..." Zhou Mikang stood up quickly, "I'm going to take a shower, you need to rest quickly."

Seeing the group leader Zongzi running into the bathroom as if he was running away, Chu Xia touched her head in confusion. After a while, she realized what she was doing and laughed dumbly. She is such an arrogant and awkward person...

It usually takes five minutes to take a shower, but this time it actually took ten minutes. When the group leader came out of the bathroom with his tube squeaking, he found that his little wife was still full of energy and sitting on the bedside, not at all sleepy!

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

The leader, Tongzi, was full of guilt in his stern questioning.

"Waiting for you..." Chu Xia smiled at him, "Zhou Mikang, you are so worthless that you are jealous of your sister."

"Nonsense." Zhou Mikang threw aside the big towel for wiping his hair, walked to the bed in a few steps, and stared at her, "You have to remember, the person you like the most can only be me, and it has nothing to do with jealousy. !”

"Hehe..." Chu Xia smiled proudly, "Have you forgotten that you were not at home when I first came to your house?"

The group leader suddenly froze there... Looking at his laughing little wife rolling on the bed, he wanted to hit the wall in annoyance. How could he forget about this? His image...!

"I know, you love Fourth Sister too much...hahaha..."

Looking at his little wife who was smiling with no image at all, Zhou Mikang couldn't help but laugh. Anyway, it was worth it to make her so happy. After all, the image can be restored slowly. For pregnant women, happiness is the most important thing. the most important.

After breakfast the next day, the Zhou family went to the courtyard to pay New Year greetings. Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan did not need to follow them, so they quietly told Chu Xia that when they saw Zhou Xiangping, they must say more words to make her happy.

"Don't worry, I will do it." Chu Xia then told her parents with some worry, "Father, mother, we probably won't be able to make it back in time at noon. You two need to have a good meal at home."

"Chu Xia, don't you trust me too much?" Before Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe could express their opinions, Lin Wenbin had already answered, "With me at home, how can I make my second uncle and second aunt hungry?"

"Didn't Big Brother say that he was going to visit the group today?" Chu Xia said with a puzzled look on his face.

"I originally wanted to go today, but since you are all out, I will go tomorrow instead." Lin Wenbin said and glared at her, "In your heart, do you think I don't value my second uncle and my second aunt that much?"

"Yes, yes, it's my fault..." Chu Xia walked out, "Everyone is waiting for me, let's go!"

"This child..." Zhao Yulan shook her head helplessly, "I don't know if she will look like an adult after giving birth to a baby."

"This is good. If she really changes her ways, she will no longer be her." Lin Wenbin greeted the couple back to the living room to sit down, "Second uncle and second aunt, please don't force her to change, everyone will change it." Disappointed.

Haven't you noticed that when Chu Xia is here, the family laughs constantly? Her character is particularly contagious. There is no shortage of dignified and graceful people in this family, so let her stay true to herself. "

"But..." Zhao Yulan hesitated, "After all, she is going to be a mother. I'm afraid that her in-laws will think that she is dishonest, especially with the Zhou family's family background. Hey!"

"Aunt, no, the elders in the family really like the character of the third brother and sister."

Zhou Jiping answered suddenly, which startled Zhao Yulan. When she looked up, she saw the other party walking down the stairs, followed by Su Mingtao.

Lin Wenbin also forgot about Zhou Jiping and his wife not going. He was stunned for a moment and then laughed: "Fortunately, we didn't say anything bad about you. Your sudden appearance is just like a spy. It's scary."

"I'm sorry..." Zhou Jiping smiled apologetically at a few people, "I don't want to go..." She wrinkled her nose as she said, "There was no one in the compound that Su Mingtao and I didn't know before, and now we go there with great fanfare. Doesn’t that mean we told everyone that we had a falling out with the Su family, so the two of us hid and didn’t come down.”

Zhou Jiping was so calm, and Lin Wenbin's feeling of discomfort disappeared. He waved to Su Mingtao affectionately: "Brother Su, you are now a model of a good husband. Otherwise, why don't you show us your skills this noon?"

"Okay." Su Mingtao agreed happily, "I can't do anything else, but I am good at making noodles by hand. I will make the best fried noodles for you at noon today..." He said and looked inquiringly. Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan, "Uncle, aunt, do you like fried noodles with soybean paste?"

Zhao Yulan nodded quickly: "I love eating, but I'm not too embarrassed."

"Aunt, what's there to be embarrassed about? Usually everyone is at home, so he's embarrassed to show off his ugly face..." Zhou Jiping said to Zhang Ma and Xiao Jing who were busy washing in the kitchen, "Zhang Ma, Xiao Jing, you can finish washing." Don’t worry about anything else, let Su Mingtao cook lunch today.”

Zhang Ma quickly wiped her hands and came out, with an uncomfortable look on her face: "Second Miss, how about that? You tell me what you want to eat, and Xiaojing and I will do it."

"Mother Zhang, it's rare that Su Mingtao wants to show off his skills. Just give him a chance. There are not many people around at noon, so that's it. Otherwise, help him make peace..."

Su Mingtao quickly interrupted his wife: "No, no, no, I have to control the softness and hardness of the noodles myself. Otherwise, if it doesn't taste good, who's to blame?"

Everyone laughed when he said one sentence, and the originally slightly awkward atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.

At this time, Lin Yanqiu in the car was also talking about her second daughter and her couple. Of course she noticed that the young couple did not get up for breakfast, and she believed that the old man and the old lady also noticed it, but everyone chose not to mention it.

However, when she went out and sat in the car, with only her eldest son, eldest daughter-in-law, and younger daughter-in-law, she no longer concealed her feelings for her eldest daughter: "My second brother has been looking at the smiling face all day long, but I still feel bitter in my heart. Otherwise, she would have told me directly that she didn’t want to go, and there would be no need for her to be so secretive and pretend to be confused.”

Yu Tao has a quiet and virtuous character. She felt that she could not handle this topic well, so she could only sigh and reach out to stroke her mother-in-law's back.
