Chapter 149 Meeting the Parents "There is one more thing. It has been sent. It will arrive in two days." Xiang Yuanyuan was in mixed feelings. She sent a message to Du Ruo and then continued walking back. "What did you say?" When Yang Chenguang saw that Du Ruo received a reply message on his phone, he quickly stopped talking, stretched his head and asked a question. "There is one more thing. I will send it to you right away. Don't worry now. I will ask Yuanyuan to help you get it re-matched when the time comes." Du Ruo took a look and said something to Yang Chenguang. "Hey, that's good, that's good. By the way, how much is this wine? I'll transfer it to you when the time comes." Yang Chenguang was quite happy. Anyway, whatever good things Du Ruo mentioned would be beneficial to him, so he believed them. Of course, money would still be required. "Forget about the money. This thing can't be measured by money. Just don't worry about it. Just help out if the tavern has any problems."
Du Ruo waved his hand and didn't want to discuss this issue with Yang Chenguang. This thing was really not about money. If the price was too high, Yang Chenguang wouldn't be able to afford it during his tight budget. If the price was too low, it would be meaningless. So just leave it as it is. Xiang Yuanyuan didn't mention the money to him, but he had to remember it. However, when Du Ruo thought about his current relationship with Xiang Yuanyuan, he couldn't help but have a headache. "I know. Don't worry. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I promise the villagers that I won't allow it. Then I'm leaving. I'm going to buy some fierce goods in the next few days. I'll treat you and the boss lady to a drink then." When Yang Chenguang saw that Du Ruo didn't say anything, he immediately knew the reason. Without saying anything more, he stood up and walked out. "I have a headache." After Yang Chenguang left, Du Ruo didn't want to continue looking at her phone, so she sat on the sofa and looked out the window in a daze. "Ding~~" "Son, we're already on the high-speed train and will arrive tonight." Du Ruo took a look and saw another message coming from her phone. It was a message from her mother. "Okay, I'll pick you up at the high-speed rail station in the evening." Du Ruo replied with a smile. "No need to bother, we can just take the bus back..." My mother is always like that. She never wants to cause trouble for Du Ruo and Duna if she can handle it herself. "Brother, we had mushrooms last night. They were really fresh. I went to the market early this morning to buy some and sent them to you. When you receive them, eat them quickly. You can't keep them for long." Du Ruo was chatting with her mother when another message came in. My sister Duna not only sent messages, but also a large number of pictures, all of which were photos of various mushrooms, as well as precautions about mushrooms, how to cook them to avoid poisoning, etc. Du Ruo actually watched the videos and photos posted by Du Na on WeChat Moments yesterday, but she didn't expect them to act so quickly. She couldn't wait to go eat it that day and they bought it and sent it to Du Ruo as soon as possible. "Sure enough, family is the best harbor." Du Ruo replied to the messages from her mother and sister Du Ruo, and her heart was touched. At the same time, some confusion in her mind was dispelled.
The future is not only about practicing martial arts, but also about life and family. Perhaps he should be more proactive and not think that these will become obstacles to practicing martial arts, but instead turn them into motivation. "Du Ruo, would you like to come over for dinner tonight? I'll fry some fresh river shrimps and yesterday's and they'll be ready to go with your wine." Xiang Yuanyuan stood on the street, looking at Du Ruo through the window, waved her hand, extended an invitation, and raised the bucket in her hand. Maomao, who was standing beside her, opened the yard door, ran to the sofa in the living room, and lay down to rest. "This is not enough to fill the gaps between my teeth. But I'm afraid it won't work at night. My parents will arrive at the high-speed rail station this afternoon, and I have to pick them up then." Du Ruo came out of the room, walked to Xiang Yuanyuan's side, and took a look at the bucket. There were only about ten river shrimps and small fish in it. "It's okay if you don't want to eat it. There's still some fish in the refrigerator that I caught yesterday. I'll go catch some more fish this afternoon and fry it for myself." When Xiang Yuanyuan heard this, a smile immediately broke out on her face. This was the fish she caught herself. The sense of accomplishment of catching the fish by herself was incomparable. As she spoke, she prepared to carry the bucket upstairs. "Hey, Yuanyuan." Xiang Yuanyuan had just taken two steps forward when Du Ruo suddenly shouted something behind her. "Ah? What's wrong?" Xiang Yuanyuan turned around and looked at Du Ruo. Her face was originally full of smiles, but when she saw Du Ruo's eyes, she suddenly froze for some reason and felt a little flustered. "Why don't you just not cook dinner tonight? Come with me to pick up my parents, and then have something to eat outside." Du Ruo spoke, looking serious. "Ah? Okay, okay." Xiang Yuanyuan only felt her heart beating faster and her face getting a little hot, but after a moment of confusion, she nodded calmly. "Okay, I'll call you when it's time to leave." Du Ruo smiled. "Well, I'll go up first." Xiang Yuanyuan calmly pushed her hair behind her ears. The blush on her face was no longer there. She nodded at Du Ruo and walked quickly upstairs. Du Ruo looked at Xiang Yuanyuan who turned around. She could see her red ears from behind, and she could hear Xiang Yuanyuan's heartbeat even from several meters away. "Hurry, hurry, find clothes, find clothes. No, I need to wash my hair first. Do I need to put on makeup? Ask Qiqi. Yes, send a video, ask Qiqi." As soon as Xiang Yuanyuan went upstairs, she no longer cared about the bucket in her hand and ran around the room in a panic. She went to the closet to look for clothes, then looked in the mirror, until she thought of Li Qiyao, and then she called her like she had found her savior. What followed was a conversation between the besties, which also eased Xiang Yuanyuan's nervous mood. The afternoon actually passed very quickly. At noon, Du Ruo had a quick bite to eat, then studied and watched some videos, and time passed quickly. …… "Mom and Dad, here~~" Outside the high-speed rail station, Du Ruo waved to his parents who had just exited the station, and then went forward to help with their luggage. "Eh? Son, who is this girl?"
My mother ignored Du Ruo, handed the luggage to Du Ruo, and then began to look at Xiang Yuanyuan who was standing next to Du Ruo. "Mom, this is Yuanyuan, the owner of the pub next to our B&B, we..." Du Ruo was introducing herself and was still thinking about how to put it when her mother took over the conversation. "Yuanyuan, oh, you are so beautiful. Du Ruo, you are so mean. You told me not to come pick us up, but you still made Yuanyuan sit in the car for such a long time." The mother obviously understood why Du Ruo brought the girls to pick them up. She took Xiang Yuanyuan's hand and started to blame Du Ruo. From her enthusiasm, one could see how happy she was and how much she valued Xiang Yuanyuan. The main point is that if the son is single, then the son is the most important; if the son finds a wife, then the daughter-in-law is the most important. "Auntie, uncle, let me help you get your things." Xiang Yuanyuan felt that the most tense moment had passed. Seeing that Du Ruo's mother did not seem to be a difficult person to get along with, she relaxed and quickly called for help, wanting to help with the luggage. Today's photo of Yuanyuan is completely different from her previous bare-faced and casual appearance. She put on some light makeup to make her look better, and wore a floral dress to cover her figure a little, but made her look younger and more energetic. "No, we can get it ourselves." Even the serious old father grinned and smiled at Xiang Yuanyuan, then pushed the largest luggage in front of Du Ruo. "It's okay, Yuanyuan, let's go. Have you eaten? Where are you from?..." My mother held Xiang Yuanyuan's hand tightly and wouldn't let go, asking questions non-stop. It was fine at the beginning, but as the questions went on, they started to go off topic. "Mom, I've ordered food. It will be delivered when we get home. We can eat at home." In the car, Du Ruo glanced at the rearview mirror. Xiang Yuanyuan and her mother were sitting in the back seat. Perhaps because her mother was a little enthusiastic and asked too many questions, Xiang Yuanyuan began to feel uncomfortable, so Du Ruo quickly spoke up and began to help Xiang Yuanyuan out. "Okay, you can arrange it. Yuanyuan, let me tell you, when Du Ruo was a child..." Without even turning her head, my mother grabbed Xiang Yuanyuan's hand and wanted to continue talking about Du Ruo's childhood. "Mom, please tell me about your fun time in Kyoto. If you keep asking me like this, Yuanyuan will be so tired that she will be steaming buns." Seeing that his mother didn't seem to understand what he meant, Du Ruo simply pointed it out. "Oh, we went to watch the flag-raising ceremony these days..." At this time, my mother noticed Xiang Yuanyuan's embarrassment and realized that she seemed too enthusiastic, so she simply changed the subject and followed Du Ruo's words to talk about her travel experiences over the past few days. When he got home, Du Ruo had already asked the restaurant to deliver the meal, and they naturally drank and chatted at the dinner table. My mother took out some of the things she bought and kept complaining to Du Ruo that she didn't tell her in advance that she would bring Xiang Yuanyuan to dinner, so she didn't buy her any gifts. Of course, I also always ask Xiang Yuanyuan to come over for dinner often so that she can try her food. Everyone at the dinner table was very happy. Dad even took out his treasured Moutai. It was a pity that Xiang Yuanyuan needed to take care of her liver. But she was not in the mood to drink today. It was really because her mom was a little too enthusiastic. The meal lasted until around ten o'clock, and finally, my mother reluctantly sent the two of them to the car. "Yuanyuan, come back more often to eat. Auntie will cook for you."
"Okay Auntie, you've been on a plane all day today, go to bed early." Xiang Yuanyuan sat in the driver's seat, waved to his mother, and then drove towards the B&B. Du Ruo had drunk some alcohol, so the task of driving was given to Xiang Yuanyuan. "Can you drive? Should we walk back?" Du Ruo looked at Xiang Yuanyuan, who was looking straight ahead with a serious face, holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands, and his back straight, and couldn't help but ask a question. "Don't talk and distract me. By the way, which one is the turn?" Xiang Yuanyuan didn't even turn his head, his face was serious. "The one to the left of the steering wheel." Du Ruo watched as water began to splash on the car window and the wipers started to move. She pursed her lips and replied carefully. I originally wanted to chat with Xiang Yuanyuan, but now seeing this look, I just shut up. Fortunately, the road was not far, only a few minutes away, and the car arrived at the door of the B&B in no time. "We're home. I...I'll go up first." Xiang Yuanyuan parked the car, lowered her head, unbuckled her seat belt, said something, and prepared to get out. “Yuanyuan…” As soon as Xiang Yuanyuan unbuckled her seat belt, Du Ruo grabbed her hand.
