Chapter 97

Yu Jinghai immediately picked up the vegetable sink and went back to the living room. He also took an absorbent pad to put it on the coffee table, "Daughter-in-law, pick it up, I have to keep busy here..."

The cooking process is clearly arranged, even answering the phone can't delay him from making dinner for his wife.

Zhou Xi picked up the mobile phone he had thrown on the table before, and read the call note clearly, there was only one simple word - Mom.

"It's the old lady calling." Zhou Xi said, pressed the answer button, and put it on the speaker by the way.

"...Hi, hello? Ah Hai?" Mrs. Yu's Jianli voice came out immediately, "Have you received the sauce?"

Zhou Xi held the phone to Yu Jinghai so that he could talk to the old lady.

"Just received it, haven't taken it apart yet." Yu Jinghai answered simply, his eyes fixed on the vegetable bowl.

The old lady then wanted to give him instructions, "Then you remember to tell Xiao Zhou..."

"Ah Xi is right next to me, you chat with him yourself." Yu Jinghai directly left the task of chatting to Zhou Xi.

His mother is good at chatting, and he has to wash the vegetables, so don't be too distracted.

Since the official relationship was established, Zhou Xi was the first time that her partner put her on airs and talked with her mother-in-law face to face.

Even a Chinese teacher who is quite good at controlling speech is a little nervous in the face of such an elder, and his tone is uncontrollably restrained.

Mrs. Yu enthusiastically introduced the sauces she made to Zhou Xi. After the introduction, she asked Zhou Xi to remember to try more. She also asked Zhou Xi what kind of snacks she likes, and I will make them for him later...

Zhou Xi has a quiet personality. Apart from teaching in class, she is actually not used to chatting, but she always cooperates with the old lady, mostly listening patiently and occasionally responding a few words.

After chatting for a while, there were sporadic noises on the phone, as if someone else was talking to the old lady.

It is estimated that the old lady covered the receiver, Zhou Xi and Yu Jinghai could hardly hear the movement on the other end of the phone.

After a while, Mrs. Yu's voice came out clearly again.

"Xiao Zhou, so what, is it convenient for you to make a video call with me now? I haven't seen you for a long time, I just want to see..."

There is something wrong with hearing this, even her most honest son knows it.

Yu Jinghai quickly interjected, "Why do you want a video when you're doing well?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Xi patted his arm lightly.

"He was talking to me, but he didn't tell you to wash your dishes."

Zhou Xi then responded to the old lady's request for a video call.

Once the video was connected, everything became clear.

The camera on the old lady's side was full of people, several middle-aged women surrounded her, and the big guys were staring curiously at the direction of the phone screen, that is, Zhou Xi who was watching the video.

"...Oh, this young man is really handsome..."

"...you have a temperament, you don't look like an ordinary person..."

"...The skin is so good, this phone is so close, it's still like those little white porcelain..."

The elders of the Yu family appeared in a line up, with all kinds of compliments, maximizing their sense of presence. Zhou Xi was stunned by the mighty and lively scene, and didn't know how to respond for a while.

Seeing that his wife was bored, Yu Jinghai immediately turned his head and squeezed into the range of the lens.

"Mom, what are you doing? You even have seven aunts and eight aunts making videos together, don't scare Ah Xi..."

"It's not that your third aunt and the others are arguing to see it, but they have been nagging on and on, and they won't let them see it, they won't give up..."

The old lady's eyes were vacillating, and she quickly took the blame, not acknowledging her petty thoughts of wanting to show off to relatives that her son got a good man.

"Oh, I've fallen in love with it. We'll see each other in the future. Ah Hai, don't be in a daze. Call someone, let's get up."

The relatives waved and urged, this is to let Yu Jinghai lead Zhou Xi to recognize someone.

Yu Jinghai could only point to people or point out their characteristics one by one, introduce the identities of these relatives to Zhou Xi, and at the same time call out the corresponding names, respecting the etiquette of the younger generation.

At the end, he didn't call Zhou Xi to follow him to call someone, but continued to bury his head in choosing vegetables.

To the old lady, Zhou Xi has not changed her words so far.

He didn't intend to bother about one or two titles, he just wanted to let nature take its course, and it was useless for relatives to force him in front of him in groups, anyway, his attitude was set here, and Zhou Xi'ai could do whatever he wanted.

The old lady's expression was obviously unsettled, and she was probably very uncertain in her heart, not sure if Zhou Xi would really want to call someone at this moment.

The quieter Zhou Xi behaved at this time, the more embarrassed and embarrassed the old lady felt, and hurriedly stopped the relatives who were about to yell again.

"It's fine, it's fine, I've read it all, don't disturb the lives of the young couple—"

"Mom." Zhou Xi suddenly called out.

His voice was clear and clear, like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning in the chaotic atmosphere, piercing through the fog and clouds, calming down the rest of the elders in the opposite camera.

The old lady Yu's eyes were wet in an instant, and she was overjoyed and said repeatedly, "What, what's the matter?"

"The sauce you sent, we will try it tonight, thank you mom for taking the trouble to marinate the sauce for us, Jinghai told me before that the sauce you made is delicious, I have always been very greedy, now it's done , have a good time."

"And thank you Third Aunt, Little Cousin, Second Aunt..."

Zhou Xi then called out all the other relatives of Yu's family from left to right, exactly according to what Yu Jinghai had said before, without missing any of them, and did not identify anyone wrong.

"Care for us."

The polite, thoughtful, obedient and courteous greetings gave the old lady enough face.

The corners of the old lady's mouth were flying, she tilted her head from side to side, and she kept praising her daughter-in-law to her relatives, "Look, our little Zhou is so sensible, he is a good boy..."

The arc of Yu Jinghai's mouth outside the camera is almost the same as his mother's, and he is happily scrubbing the cabbage in the basin.

The relatives responded eagerly, and chattered again.

"...Is this at home? Xiao Zhou's room? Just looking at the taste of the decoration, it means that the atmosphere is upscale, and it will cost a lot of money..."

"... If you want me to say, our family Ah Hai is really lucky, what a blessing..."

"Yeah, where is Ah Hai? Are you still at the side? What are you doing?"

"Here, I'm washing the vegetables, and we haven't eaten yet." Yu Jinghai took the time to reply.

"So Ah Hai does all the housework?" A relative asked again, "Does Xiao Zhou know how to cook?"

"Look at what you said, Xiao Zhou is a teacher. He holds a pen holder in his hand and has to write chalk books every day. If there is no time to do this, Ah Hai can do it."

"That's right, Ah Hai, you have to take good care of Xiao Zhou, let's be diligent, what a good wife, don't be too rough, don't be too dumb, be smart, don't bully others..."

"Come on, don't worry." Yu Jinghai cheerfully accepted the exhortations from his relatives.

At this time, Old Madam Yu frowned unhappily, "As long as you talk a lot, you still need to say that Ah Hai has been honest since he was a child, and he does things well."
