Chapter 118 Ears Turned Red
"Yes, I said it." Qin Yunzhou's expression softened.
For some reason, Xu Sui's face suddenly felt hot when she met the man's gaze.
But she wasn't shy at all. Instead, she raised her head and looked over openly, blinking her eyes.
The two locked eyes, and for a moment, the atmosphere in the room seemed to become more ambiguous and heated.
Qin Yunzhou's ears turned red without him even realizing it.
Xu Sui happened to see it and couldn't help but smile.
……
The next day arrived in the blink of an eye.
The two planned to go to Old Mrs. Xu's house across the alley to bring some things and visit her.
Firstly, the other party is the grandmother, an elder, and it is only proper and reasonable for them to visit her after their marriage.
Secondly, last time, Old Mrs. Xu gave Xu Sui a jade bracelet with excellent water content, as well as two small yellow fish.
These things may not be very valuable in today's world, but in a few years, whether it's a jade bracelet or gold, they will definitely be valuable items.
They took the elderly person's dental problems into consideration when they visited this time.
When Qin Yunzhou went shopping yesterday, he made a special trip to the department store to buy some soft sponge cakes, a can of malted milk powder, a bag of peach shortbread, and a pound of eggs, which he then brought to the door.
This gift is quite good, whether in the past when there was no famine or now.
Without money and tickets, you simply couldn't buy these things, and even if you had money and tickets, very few people would be willing to spend money on them.
Perhaps because she was pregnant with twins, Xu Sui's belly gradually grew bigger, and her old clothes were getting a bit tight. Fortunately, there were a few slightly looser ones that she could still wear now.
In four or five months, I guess I'll have to make new clothes.
She was going out today, so she wore a blue and white checkered dress. Apart from the fabric, the dress was very simple, without much embellishment, which gave it a simple and elegant natural beauty.
After changing her clothes, Xu Sui sat in front of the dressing table, quickly combed her hair, and decided to leave after confirming that everything was alright.
However, even with such a simple outfit, when she pushed open the door and came out...
It almost dazzled the people at the door, who couldn't help but look again and again.
As Qin Yunzhou carried the things, his gaze unconsciously fell on Xu Sui's face. He felt that she seemed to become more and more attractive every day since the two of them got together.
Even though it's the same face and the same person, there's an indescribable sense of comfort about them.
Xu Sui noticed the man's slightly intense gaze, which seemed to be fixed on her face without any attempt to conceal it.
She suddenly felt her face flush and subconsciously touched it, wanting to ask the man if there was something on her face.
Just then, Xiao Fen happened to pass by. She was about to go out when she glanced at Xu Sui's outfit.
She stopped abruptly, then excitedly ran to Xu Sui and looked at her again and again, almost reaching out to touch her.
"Sui Sui, why are you dressed up so beautifully today? Where are you going? You're not wearing anything on your face, are you? Your skin looks so fair and smooth."
"We didn't put anything on. We're just planning to bring some things to visit my grandma." Xu Sui quickly regained her poised and confident demeanor.
"Sister-in-law, we're leaving now."
Xu Sui stepped forward and took some of the things from Qin Yunzhou. "Let's go."
It's not far, just across from the courtyard.
These things weren't heavy, and Qin Yunzhou's legs weren't very mobile, so he didn't try to be strong and let Xu Sui take the two bags of pastries and malted milk powder from his hands.
Behind.
Xiao Fen watched the two figures leave for a long time.
Grandma Qin walked over at this moment, and following her gaze, said, "What are you looking at? Everyone's already gone."
"It's your turn to clean the house and cook today, so hurry up and get to work."
Xiao Fen sighed, "Grandma, you know, they're all women, but how come my second sister-in-law is so beautiful? Even without makeup or any dressing up, she looks even more beautiful!"
When she caught a glimpse of Xu Sui, even she, a woman, could hardly take her eyes off her, let alone Qin Yunzhou.
She noticed that ever since Xu Sui opened her door, Qin Yunzhou's gaze hadn't left her face, and they were getting increasingly affectionate, like a newlywed couple.
When these two first returned from the military, they were only slightly better than strangers, but now that she's pregnant, things have really changed.
Grandma Qin rolled her eyes at Xiao Fen, "There are differences between people. Her parents are good-looking, so of course their daughter won't be bad."
"You've seen Wang Yinhua before. Look at her, she's in her forties or fifties, and she looks about the same age as you. If the two of you went out together, who knows which of you would call the other auntie?"
Xiao Fen: "..."
That's a rather harsh thing to say.
She's not even thirty years old yet, and Wang Yinhua could be her mother.
Old Mrs. Qin glanced at Xiao Fen and said, "It's true that you don't like to hear this. Hurry up and get to work. And stop ordering my Xiao Mei around. If I see you secretly asking her to help you wash clothes and tidy up the house again, I won't be polite to you."
No matter what, Xiaomei is still her own granddaughter; how could she let someone bully her like this?
Ever since learning that Qin Min was infertile, the eldest daughter-in-law has become increasingly reckless and doesn't even respect Qin Min anymore.
Xiao Fen stopped talking. "Alright, alright, if you don't want to look for it, then don't."
At worst, she'll just be more discreet next time she asks Du Mei to help her with chores, so that the old lady doesn't find out.
……
Old Mrs. Xu lived very close by, in Guihua Hutong, right across from the tenement.
After they left the compound, they walked a few steps to the alley.
After walking inside, Xu Sui realized that she still had many memories of this place, especially when she was a child, her father would always bring her and her brother Xu Fei here to give the elderly some things.
She was a very particular old lady. Her hair was always combed meticulously, and no matter how old or ordinary her clothes were, they were always clean, neat, and without a single wrinkle.
Soon, Xu Sui led Qin Yunzhou inside until they arrived at a particularly quiet courtyard gate, where she raised her hand and knocked on the gate.
After knocking for a long time.
Footsteps finally came from inside.
The next second, the door opened.
The person who opened the door was not Old Mrs. Xu, but a young girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a round face, delicate features, and clean clothes.
She looked up and saw Xu Sui and Qin Yunzhou outside the door, a hint of amazement and surprise flashing in her eyes.
"Who are you?"
Xu Sui was taken aback by the unexpected encounter with strangers. She paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "We've come to visit my grandmother. May I ask who you are?"
Wang Xiuer was stunned, and her eyes held a complex look as she looked at Xu Sui. Then she quickly welcomed her in.
"Oh, it's my cousin! Please come in. My aunt isn't here; she went out to buy something."
"Please come in and sit down, your great-aunt should be back soon."
Grandma Qin's house has several rooms, totaling about 70 or 80 square meters, and also a small courtyard.
The courtyard was very clean, with some flowers and plants, a stone table, a well, and even a large jujube tree.
