Chapter 769: Meeting with the In-Laws

Seeing this bright and clean little nest decorated warmly and comfortably, the Jiang family members felt a little emotional. You know, Jiang Qi was not very willing to clean up her own room before, and the changes in recent years are really huge.

Just when the atmosphere in the house was harmonious and full of laughter, steady and clear footsteps were heard in the yard, and there was more than one person.

Wei Wei's ears were pointed, she raised her eyebrows, put down the teacup in her hand, and smiled.

"Listening to the footsteps, it must be Uncle Li and Aunt Li coming."

Li Jing and his friends were originally going to come and pick them up, but Li Jing had an emergency meeting, so Jiang Qi didn't let them run away, since Li Zhibin was there anyway.

Outside the door, although Li Jing and Wu Lichun often urged Li Zhibin to get married quickly, they were now a little nervous.

I was afraid of being disrespectful and causing dissatisfaction among my in-laws, and I would waste the marriage.

Especially with the contrast of the leisurely Xiao Xuemu, Li Jing and Wu Lichun seemed even more nervous.

Li Jing outside the door was wearing a neat military uniform, with a serious but gentle expression.

Wu Lichun was wearing a dark purple cheongsam jacket made of fine material, a string of lustrous pearl necklace around her neck, and an earnest and elegant smile on her face.

Jiang Qi was a little surprised when she saw Wu Lichun for the first time, because she was a little different from the generous and cheerful Wu Lichun she usually saw.

"Uncle, aunt, hello, please come in."

Jiang Qi stepped aside and quickly welcomed the person in.

The Jiang family members in the room were also a little nervous. Their family conditions were indeed okay, but they were still not as good as the Li family's.

Even compared with the Li family, it can be said to be a small family.

Although Li Zhibin looks okay, I haven't met his parents yet, so the specific attitude of the Li family remains to be seen.

As soon as Wu Lichun entered the room, her eyes first fell on Ning Lanzhen, and her eyes were locked on Ning Lanzhen at a glance.

Ning Lanzhen was wearing a brown plaid short coat and her hair was combed meticulously. Wu Lichun was sure at a glance that this must be Jiang Qi's mother.

Wu Lichun walked over warmly and shook Ning Lanzhen's hand.

"This must be your mother-in-law! You've worked hard on the journey! I'm Wu Lichun, Zhibin's mother. I've been looking forward to meeting you for a long time, and today I finally get to see you."

Wu Lichun's voice was clear, and the joy in her tone was real, even with a hint of relief.

Seeing Wu Lichun's attitude, Ning Lanzhen also breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile from the heart on her face.

"Comrade Wu, hello, hello, I'm Xiaoqi's mother, Ning Lanzhen. You're so polite, you came all the way here..."

"Of course! We have to! We were supposed to pick you up at the station, but something delayed us. So we can only ask Weiwei for help."

Wu Lichun held Ning Lanzhen's hand tightly with a sincere look in her eyes.

"Xiao Qi is such a good child. Old Li and I are so happy to have her as our daughter-in-law. Zhibin is such a lucky kid!"

When she said this, she glanced at Li Zhibin next to her, with an obvious meaning of "You kid finally did well."

At this time, Li Jing also stepped in. He had an upright posture and looked majestic without even getting angry.

He first nodded to Jiang Qi as a greeting, then turned his gaze to Jiang Jianshe, extended his hand, and spoke in a steady and powerful voice.

"My dear relatives, welcome to Beijing. Thank you for your hard work along the way."

Jiang Jianshe hurried forward, his attitude respectful but neither humble nor arrogant.

"It's not hard, it's not hard. We will definitely come for the children's big event."

The two heads of the family held hands together, symbolizing the formal merging of two completely different families.

"Uncle, aunt, hello, I'm Xiao Xuemu, Li Zhibin's friend and Wei Wei's lover."

Xiao Xuemu stepped forward to greet him, cleverly easing the slightly formal atmosphere between the two fathers.

"Ah, I haven't seen you for a few years. You look more energetic now. I heard from Xiaoqi and Zhibin that you are now a scientist, very outstanding."

Xiao Xuemu smiled and said, "No, no, it's just a compliment from my aunt."

While the adults were chatting, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi had already swiftly brought over chairs and refilled everyone's cups of hot tea.

Jiang Qi's two sisters-in-law were a little at a loss at first, but under Wei Wei's natural and friendly greeting, they gradually relaxed, talked in low voices, and looked at the small house and the two extraordinary in-laws with curiosity from time to time.

It was Li Jing's first time to visit Jiang Qi's house, and he was very interested in her little nest.

He paced slowly in the living room with his hands behind his back, looking carefully at the vibrant green plants on the windowsill. The desk was very tidy, and the bookshelves were full of economics books. His eyes showed undisguised admiration.

Seeing that Li Jing was interested in Jiang Qi's house, Wu Lichun, who had been there countless times, immediately helped to introduce it.

"Xiao Qi is such a clever kid! This room is so neatly tidied and lively.

Look at this curtain, the stitching is so fine, it's much better than that brat's doghouse!"

She once again cast a look of disdain at Li Zhibin.

"I really come here every time to surprise her. I really don't know how she is so skillful."

Hearing Wu Lichun and Li Jing's genuine satisfaction and praise, the Jiang family was completely relieved.

As long as they are satisfied with Jiang Qi and she is easy to get along with, it will be fine. If Li Jing and Wu Lichun are difficult to get along with, no matter how satisfied they are with Li Zhibin, Jiang Jianshe and Ning Lanzhen will not be very confident in letting them get married.

"Come to think of it, I really have to thank Weiwei."

Ning Lanzhen suddenly turned the topic to Wei Wei, and she affectionately took Wei Wei's hand.

"Mother-in-law, father-in-law, you don't know that Weiwei is knowledgeable and kind-hearted. She has been of great help to Xiaoqi. She is truly Xiaoqi's benefactor.

If it weren't for her guidance and help, I don't know how much hardship my little Qi would have endured in the countryside."

Jiang Wei and Jiang Jie also nodded in agreement, talking about Wei Wei's various "merits" one after another, their words full of gratitude, as if Wei Wei was a god who could turn stones into gold.

Wu Lichun and Li Jing also particularly like Wei Wei.

"Indeed, Weiwei has been there for Zhibin and Xiaoqi to get to where they are today."

Wu Lichun grabbed Ning Lanzhen and said affectionately, "Weiwei's mother-in-law is a good sister of mine. She always praises Weiwei and Xiaoqi. Our two families are so lucky to have found such wonderful daughters-in-law."

Xiao Xuemu, who knew all the reasons, smiled in his heart and said nothing.

It’s not that Wei Wei has such a great function, it’s all because Jiang Qi changed his core.

Li Zhibin, who knew nothing, looked completely confused.

How could he not know that Wei Wei had so many advantages? He admitted that Wei Wei was a good person, and he also admitted that he and Jiang Qi had always helped each other in the countryside.

But it seems like what these people are praising has nothing to do with Wei Wei.

Li Zhibin was particularly impressed by Wei Wei's ability to survive in Beijing for four years without getting caught. Isn't this also a skill?
