Chapter 308: Entertaining the Daughter-in-law
After resting for a while at grandma's house, Zhou Jing took his grandma to the county town. Gu Jia sat in the back seat with the old lady in the car.

The road in the village was bumpy, so Gu Jia fastened the old lady's seat belt.

Upon learning that Zhou Jing was taking Gu Jia home, Wu Suqin started preparing yesterday. She asked Zhou Guozhong to drive to his hometown to buy a big rooster, local eggs, local pork, mutton, etc., and bought fish this morning.

Wu Suqin started preparing today's lunch last night and stewed the meat in advance.

This is the first time that her son brought his girlfriend home, and they are planning to get the marriage certificate this year. Gu Jia is equivalent to his future daughter-in-law. No matter what their previous relationship was, Wu Suqin can only receive her seriously now that things have come to this. Even if others talk about her in the future, her family must not only not talk nonsense, but also protect her.

"Kaiyuan Internet Cafe, that's the one I opened."

After leaving the village for more than ten minutes, they arrived at Qing County. Zhou Jing pointed to the Internet cafe on the third floor opposite the bridge.

“This location is great.”

Gu Jia looked outside and saw a lot of people around the bridge.

Grandma brought some vegetables to my uncle's house, and Zhou Jing drove to my uncle's pancake shop first.

"Zhou Jing, stop for a moment."

Gu Jia didn't know that she was going to the boy's uncle's house right away and didn't buy anything in advance. She said this when passing by a supermarket.

Zhou Jing was also looking for a supermarket to buy things for Gu Jia, otherwise it would be embarrassing to go to Gu Jia empty-handed. However, even if he forgot to buy things for his uncle's house, he would not go empty-handed. At most, he could give the cigarettes and alcohol he bought for his father to his uncle.

"You don't have to come down, I'll go buy it."

Zhou Jing found a place on the roadside to park his car slowly, and went to the supermarket to buy a box of milk and a box of Lulu.

The boy took everything into consideration, and Gu Jia felt relaxed and as if she didn't have to worry about anything. It was very worry-free to have a man like him.

My aunt was making pancakes in the store, and there were four customers sitting in the store eating pancakes.

My uncle no longer works in the business of drilling holes in walls and repairing roofs. He is now the permanent deputy boss of Kaiyuan Internet Cafe and usually watches over the cafe. As for his salary, Wu Suqin will definitely not be stingy and will give him a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan. Family members do not care about gains and losses, otherwise a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan is not considered low in first-tier cities these days.

"Jingjing is back, you haven't eaten yet, right?"

Seeing someone coming to the store door, my aunt put down the work she was doing and stood up to greet him.

"Go home and eat. She is Gu Jia, my aunt."

Zhou Jing put the vegetables on a stool and introduced them.

"Hello, aunt."

Gu Jia nodded with a shy smile and put the milk and Lulu she had just bought from the supermarket on the table.

"We are a family, so there is no need to bring so many things. Sit here and have some pancakes first."

My aunt enthusiastically prepared the dishes and chopsticks, not using the tableware used by the restaurant's guests, but instead using the ones she used at home for eating.

"Aunt, roll less. One serving is enough."

Zhou Jing was not polite and asked Gu Jia and grandma to sit down. Gu Jia and grandma didn't eat much. Zhou Jing had been eating snacks all the way since he arrived at grandma's house, and he couldn't eat too much, so he had to save his stomach for dinner when he got back.

"Then have some of each. Jingjing, there are drinks in the freezer. Help yourself."

My aunt washed her hands and started to roll pancakes, some with dried tofu, some with vegetables, and some with pork head.

"Aunt, do many Internet cafes order pancakes every day?"

When a customer finished eating and paid, Zhou Jing helped his aunt collect the money and put it in the box at the cash register.

"Not bad, I can sell it to Internet cafes for three to four hundred yuan a day."

“It’s no worse than opening a store in the city.”

Zhou Jing took out a bottle of Nutri-Express and a bottle of iced black tea from the freezer, unscrewed the bottles and gave them to Gu Jia and her grandmother.

Gu Jia was not planning to drink it at first, but since the boy had unscrewed the can and was not going to drink it, she had to take it.

"Bring it over to Jiajia to have a taste first."

After rolling several pancakes, the aunt gave Zhou Jing another plate.

"Okay, let's make it for the customer first." Zhou Jing brought it to the table and said, "Do you know what kind of noodles this is made of?"

"What noodles?"

Gu Jia didn’t know.

"Soba noodles only contain soba noodles and water, with no other additives."

“It tastes great.”

Gu Jia nodded, picked up a roll, dipped it in the sauce and tasted it. The freshly made ones tasted much better, while the ones the boy brought to Yushi tasted worse.

After eating pancakes, Zhou Jing took Gu Jia and her grandmother home. After getting off the car outside the community, Gu Jia supported the old lady while Zhou Jing got the things. Gu Jia bought a bottle of wine and a pack of cigarettes for Zhou Guozhong, and a coat for Wu Suqin.

"It took us so long to get to the city. Jiajia, are you hungry?"

Wu Suqin pulled Gu Jia into the house.

"I just had some pancakes at my aunt's shop." Gu Jia's voice lowered a few degrees shyly.

"Then sit down and take a rest."

Wu Suqin took Gu Jia's arm to the living room and poured water from the kettle.

Zhou Jing looked at his father and asked, "Where is your car parked?"

"Outside the post office, is the company busy now that the chemical plant project is finished?"

Zhou Guozhong looked at his son and said.

"I've taken on two more projects and will start work in a few days."

"Jing, take good care of Jiajia, and there's another vegetable mom to cook."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Wu Suqin went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Zhou Jing took Gu Jia to his bedroom to take a look.

Arriving at the boy's bedroom, Gu Jia's nervous mood relaxed a lot. She looked around the boy's bedroom curiously. The bedroom was clean and tidy. There was a brand new double bed with new bedding, and two new quilts and pillows neatly placed. It was obviously prepared specially for her.

"Is it a single bed?"

Gu Jia looked at the bed and asked with a smile.

"It used to be a double bed. My mom was going to replace all the tables and cabinets in my bedroom with new ones, but I refused because I didn't want to destroy the traces of my life there."

Zhou Jing took Gu Jia's arm and went to the desk and cabinet to look.

"That's good." Gu Jia also wanted to see the real appearance of the place where the boy lived since childhood, hoping to learn about the boy's past from the place where he lived. She looked at the wall of the desk and asked, "When was it posted?"

"junior high school."

There are several posters in Zhou Jing's bedroom, including those of basketball stars and female stars. The two most eye-catching ones are of Fairy Liu. One is of Xiaolongnu wearing a flower crown in the world at the bottom of the pool, and the other is a photo of Fairy Liu.

"She is indeed the goddess in your mind."

Gu Jia walked around and looked around, and found it quite interesting. This is the world of boys!

The bookcase contains the boy’s study materials, a repeater, and tapes. There is a unique pen holder on the desk, and the boy’s portrait is pasted on the wall.

“Do you have a photo album?”

Gu Jia looked at the boy's headshot and an unconscious smile spread across her face. The photo was two inches horizontally with a cartoon background. In the photo, the boy was making an "eight" gesture with his right hand, and his expression was smug but also a bit childish, which made people want to laugh.

"The meal is ready. I'll show you after I've eaten."

Zhou Jing now feels embarrassed when he looks at himself in junior high school. He thought he was very mature at the time, but in fact he was quite stupid. However, he does not feel ashamed because he has remained a fool for many years.

After the meal was ready, Wu Suqin called Zhou Jing to eat. Today's lunch was particularly rich, with braised fish, crispy meatballs, stir-fried meat, celery and bean curd, cold-mixed pork jelly, and mushroom stewed chicken soup.

"You've worked so hard, Auntie. A home-cooked meal would be fine."

Looking at the table full of food, Gu Jia felt how much the boy’s family valued her, and it felt as grand as Chinese New Year.

"It's not hard, they're all home-cooked dishes, we're all family, Jiajia, you're welcome."

Wu Suqin doesn't have to go to work now. Her brother is watching over her in the Internet cafe, so she just cooks and exercises all day.

"This chicken soup looks like it has a layer of oil floating on it, but it actually doesn't have any oil. It's made with free-range chicken bought from the countryside."

Zhou Jing first served Gu Jia half a bowl of stewed chicken soup for her to try.

"It looks delicious. Give it to grandma first."

Gu Jia brought the first bowl to the old lady.

"Same, Jiajia eats first."

The old lady declined.

"Grandma holds it."

Zhou Jing gave the second bowl to Gu Jia.

"It smells good."

Gu Jia took a sip of the chicken soup. It was oily but not greasy, and had no seasoning taste but was very appetizing.

"I will stew a free-range chicken for you every day during your confinement period."

Zhou Jing sat next to Gu Jia and said softly.

"Then I'll have to be so fat."
