After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 12 My affection for him deepens

For the people in the village, everything in front of them was ordinary.

Why is she so happy?

It was as if he had never seen such a scene before.

Or maybe she was just faking it.

Lu Xingzhi was thoughtful.

"Husband, have you ever eaten pumpkin cake?" Qiao Jingjing suddenly raised her head and asked.

"Pumpkin cake?" Lu Xingzhi was startled and looked down at her.

Qiao Jingjing nodded, "It's a cake made of pumpkin. It's delicious."

"I haven't eaten before." Lu Xingzhi shook his head.

"Then do you like sweets?" Qiao Jingjing asked again.

"It's okay." Lu Xingzhi said calmly.

Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing said nothing more. Thinking of pumpkin pie, she suddenly wanted to eat it, so she picked a relatively ripe pumpkin in the vegetable garden, picked it off, and planned to go back to the Lu family and make some pumpkin pie to eat.

Seeing that she was struggling to carry the pumpkin, Lu Xingzhi said, "Give it to me."

Qiao Jingjing was not polite and handed the pumpkin to him.

As soon as the two of them came out of the vegetable garden, they met Father Qiao who came over to call them to eat.

Seeing the pumpkin in Lu Xingzhi's hand, Qiao's father smiled and asked, "A Xing likes to eat pumpkins?"

"It's not that he likes it, it's that I like it." Qiao Jingjing said.

Father Qiao was stunned for a moment and asked curiously: "Don't you like eating pumpkins?"

Qiao Jingjing was startled, and when she saw Lu Xingzhi's gaze, she was startled, and hurriedly said, "I don't like eating it if it is made into an ordinary dish, but I heard that pumpkin can be made into cakes, and it is delicious when made into cakes." , so I wanted to try it.”

"Can pumpkin be used to make cakes?" Father Qiao was surprised.

"Of course." Qiao Jingjing was afraid of revealing her secret, so she covered her stomach and changed the subject, "Dad, I'm hungry, let's go eat quickly."

"Hey, okay." Father Qiao nodded without doubting that he had it.

Looking at the father and daughter walking in front, doubts flashed across Lu Xingzhi's eyes.

After the three of them washed their hands, they went to the main room.

In the main room, Mrs. Xu had already put the food on the table.

Seeing the three people coming back, he stepped forward with a smile and said, "You must be hungry. Come sit down and eat."

Looking at the dishes on the table, Qiao Jingjing praised: "My aunt's cooking is really good, they all look delicious."

Mrs. Xu smiled and said: "My craftsmanship is just like that, I'm afraid A Xing won't be used to it."

Lu Xingzhi said warmly: "Aunt Xu is worrying too much. The food on this table looks not much different from the ones in the restaurant."

Mrs. Xu was elated and said, "As long as you don't dislike it, I will definitely eat more soon."

"Thank you Aunt Xu." Lu Xingzhijun had a faint smile on his face.

Mrs. Xu was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.

Qiao Jingjing glanced at Lu Xingzhi in surprise. She didn't expect that this man looked cold, but when he praised others, he could make them happy.

"Come on, A Xing, let's have a drink with our husband-in-law." Father Qiao raised his cup and said.

Hearing this, Lu Xingzhi picked up the cup and touched it with his, "I respect my father-in-law."

"Okay, okay." Father Qiao smiled heartily and drank all the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"Okay, don't worry about drinking, let A Xing eat some food first." Mrs. Xu said from the side, and said to Qiao Jingjing, "Jingjing girl, quickly serve A Xing a meal."

"Okay." Qiao Jingjing responded obediently, took the bowl in front of Lu Xingzhi, filled him with rice, and brought him some vegetables.

"Thank you Jingjing." Lu Xing knew.

Qiao Jingjing shook her head, "There is no need to be so polite between husband and wife."

Lu Xingzhi paused, "Yeah."

Mrs. Xu looked at the young couple and became more and more happy.

Look at this young couple, what a pair they are. Fortunately, Jingjing girl's mind was clear last time, otherwise it would be a pity to miss this marriage.

Father Qiao thought so too. Now that he saw that his precious daughter had a good home, he was happiest.

Because I was so happy, I couldn't help but drink a few more drinks.

Being drunk, he pulled Lu Xing and said, "Ah Xing, this girl Jingjing has been spoiled by me since she was a child. If she does anything wrong, please be more tolerant of her."

"Father-in-law, don't worry, Jingjing is fine." Lu Xing knew.

When Father Qiao heard this, he felt relieved and said happily: "Jingjing has grown up and become sensible. She is a good child now."

"Old Qiao, you are drunk, let me help you go and have a rest." Mrs. Xu was afraid that he would talk too much when he was drunk, and would spill the beans about what happened before, so she stood up and said.

Fortunately, Father Qiao's wine was good. Hearing this, he nodded, "Thank you."

Mrs. Xu shook her head. Seeing that Qiao Jingjing also wanted to help, she said, "I'll help your father go back to the house to rest. You can stay with A Xing for a while."

Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing sat back and said, "Okay."

Suddenly, only Qiao Jingjing and Lu Xingzhi were left in the room.

Seeing the redness at the end of the man's eyes, Qiao Jingjing hesitated for a moment and asked, "My husband is also drunk?"

Lu Xingzhi glanced at her and shook his head, "No."

Qiao Jingjing felt relieved and said, "That's good."

Lu Xingzhi paused and asked, "Where is the latrine?"

Qiao Jingjing blinked, reacted, stood up and said, "I'll take you there."

"Yeah." Lu Xingzhi stood up.

After showing him the way, Qiao Jingjing was worried about her father, so she went to his house.

Xu just helped Father Qiao lie down and covered him with a thin quilt carefully.

Seeing Qiao Jingjing coming over, she hurriedly asked, "Why don't you accompany A Xing?"

"He went to the latrine, I came to see dad." Qiao Jingjing said.

"Your dad is fine. He is just happy today, so he couldn't help but drink a few more drinks." Mrs. Xu smiled.

Qiao Jingjing felt relieved when she saw that Qiao's father had fallen asleep.

Mrs. Xu's eyes fell on her face. She remembered something and pulled her back to her room. After closing the door, she asked with concern: "Ah Xing was here just now, so I couldn't ask him face to face. How about it? After you get married, Ah Xing Is it good for you? Are the Lu family getting along well?"

"They are all very nice to me." When Qiao Jingjing said this, a hint of shyness appeared on her face at the right time.

Sure enough, when Mrs. Xu saw it, she felt relieved and said with a smile, "That's good. As long as you live a good life, your father and I will be relieved."

Qiao Jingjing nodded, "Don't worry, I'm fine. It's my aunt and father's business..."

"Ah, I suddenly remembered that there is another dish in the kitchen. I'll bring it to you." Mrs. Xu interrupted her and ran away.

Seeing this, Qiao Jingjing smiled and shook her head.

Even a cheerful person like Xu would feel embarrassed when faced with this kind of problem.

It's a pity that her father is drunk, otherwise she would have a good talk with him today and ask him to propose marriage to Aunt Xu as soon as possible and marry her.

When she returned to the main room, Lu Xingzhi had already returned and was drinking tea.

Mrs. Xu sat next to him and talked to him, and he listened patiently.

Seeing this scene, Qiao Jingjing's affection for him deepened even more.

Although he is in a high position, there is no arrogance in him, and he is so patient when facing a rural woman like Aunt Xu.

Seeing Qiao Jingjing coming back, Lu Xingzhi put down his cup and said, "It's getting late, shall we go back first?"

"Okay." Qiao Jingjing nodded.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xu did not leave them alone, and sent the two of them outside the door personally, "You really have to go back early today. Come back next time when you are free."

"Okay." Qiao Jingjing nodded, then held her hand and said, "Auntie, my father will take care of you."

"Don't worry, your dad just drank two more drinks. He will be fine after a while when he wakes up." Mrs. Xu said.

"Yeah." Qiao Jingjing nodded.
