“Hey, hey, hey, Mom, Mom…”
Seeing that his mother was about to close the door, Xu Wenping hurriedly held the door and shouted, “Yurou. Come out quickly!”
Su Yurou was called out, and she finally walked up the stairs with a red face. She was still holding a few gifts in her hands. She looked at Mother Xu shyly and said in a soft voice, “Hello, Auntie!”
His mother’s expression paused for a moment, and a flash of surprise appeared on her face. After glancing at Xu Wenping, her attitude immediately changed 180 degrees. She hurriedly opened the door and shouted, “All, ah, ah. Hello, miss.”
“You brat, didn’t you tell me beforehand that you were going to bring a girl back?”
“Old man! Old man!”
“Coming, coming!” His mother only called out domineeringly, and Xu Wenping’s father hurriedly responded.
…..
“Hurry up and put away the things on your table. There are guests in the house.”
His mother stepped forward and took the things from Su Yurou’s hands. She turned around and stuffed them all into Xu Wenping’s hands. She stepped forward and held Su Yurou’s hand, as if they were old friends who had not seen each other for many years. She smiled and entered the door first. “Come in and sit, come in and sit!”
“Aiya, 1 only heard from Aunt Wang that the lady is beautiful. I didn’t expect her to be so beautiful. It’s really our Wenping’s fortune to have you take a fancy to him.”
“Come, girl, sit down and eat an orange.”
As his mother peeled an orange for Su Yurou, Xu Wenping’s father, Xu Shinian, had just put away his Go manual. He pushed his stone glasses up from afar. After he saw Su Yurou clearly, he nodded his head slightly, revealing a hint of admiration.
“Old man, go wash some fruits.”
“Alright!”
“There’s no need, Uncle and Auntie… You guys are too polite. There’s no need to go through so much trouble.” Faced with Xu Wenping’s parents’ enthusiasm, Su Yurou felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles. As she declined, she cast a pleading gaze at Xu Wenping.
Xu Wenping put down the gifts and said softly, “It’s okay, Yurou. My parents are just so passionate!”
Xu Wenping looked at his mother and said, “Mom, stop holding my wife’s hand. Can’t you see that she’s embarrassed?”
“Hey, you brat!”
His mother was so angry that she laughed and rolled her eyes. “Alright, alright, alright. That’s true. Old man, don’t be so busy. Go down and buy some groceries! 1’11 cook some food for Wenping and Miss later!”
“Good!”
Her mother was also excited at first, but after she calmed down, she moved a little further away from Su Yurou and looked at her seriously. “Girl, your name is Yurou, right?”
“Yes, Auntie. My surname is Su, and my name is Su Yurou!”
“What a nice name. What do you do? Is it a holiday today? Won’t it delay you a little?”
The two of them began to whisper to each other. Su Yurou could feel Mother Xu’s closeness and acceptance. She finally relaxed a little and paid attention to Xu Wenping’s family.
Although it was an old apartment, the layout was still quite big. It had three bedrooms and one living room. His father had earned it from a work-related injury back then.
Of course, in Su Yurou’s eyes, there wasn’t much of a difference. It was just that the furnishings, furniture, and cleanliness of the house made Su Yurou admire it a little.
In fact, before she came, in her imagination, the two elderly people who have lived a hard life after all should not have such a good quality of life.
However, the truth was that this family was indeed very cultured. Whether it was the calligraphy on the wall, the books on the shelves that had been flipped through, or some awards and trophies, the atmosphere was inexplicably scholarly.
Su Yurou’s social skills weren’t weak. In the beginning, Mother Xu was more enthusiastic, but after chatting for a short while, she started to take out many gifts.
Xu Wenping leaned in to listen, only to hear Su Yurou whisper to Mother Xu, “This one is better, and the price is reasonable. Auntie, the one you’re using is extremely expensive!”
“I’ve used this model before! But it was said to be a limited edition, and I couldn’t buy it later. Aiya…Yurou, you’re really thoughtful!”
“Hehe! Auntie, don’t worry about it!” Su Yurou smiled lightly. “I’m in the cosmetics business. 1 have internal channels and it’s very cheap!”
“Yes, yes! When the time comes, you have to give me a discount!”
“What discount? How would 1 dare to ask you for money? Then there’s Wenping… It’s time for him to be filial!”
The two of them chatted about Xu Wenping in the back. Mother Xu glared at them and said resentfully, “Hehe… Who knows how long it would take to count on him… Sigh! I’m not afraid that you’ll laugh at me, but our kid is quite honest. He just doesn’t have the ability.”
“What do you mean by not capable? Auntie… Just look at him pretending. In fact, he’s very capable. It’s just that he didn’t tell you.”
Su Yurou was intelligent and sensible. With just a few words, Su Yurou knew that Xu Wenping was rich. Not to mention her, even Xu Wenping’s parents didn’t seem to know about it.
“Really?” Mother Xu was shocked. “Then 1 can’t see through my son?”
Su Yurou covered her mouth and laughed. “He was just being a little more cautious. Why didn’t he tell you? I’ll help you talk to him later!”
Mother Xu was also a clear-headed person. As the two of them talked, she quietly gave Xu Wenping a thumbs-up to express her satisfaction with her daughter-in-law.
After hearing this, she laughed and said, “Forget it, forget it… Anyway, it’s all about the younger generation now. How can we care so much?”
“By the way, when do you plan to hold a banquet? As for Wenping… Has he been to your house? When will you let us visit your parents?”
Su Yurou was slightly stunned, and a hint of loneliness flashed across her eyes. Xu Wenping quickly stood up and said, “Mom! Why are you in such a hurry?”
In the end, he smiled warmly and sat down. He held Su Yurou’s hand and said slowly, “Yurou and I have already discussed it. We will find a time to register our marriage in the next two days. Not just me… Yurou is also a little busy with work. Where would she find the time to do all those superficial etiquette?”
Mother Xu was slightly stunned at first, but then she smiled in surprise and said, “This is good! Alright then. Anyway, get the certificate first. We’ll take our time to deal with the miles later!”
“Right?”
She had gotten her daughter-in-law first and didn’t have to spend money for the time being. It could be said that it was exactly what Mother Xu wanted. How could she be unhappy at all? He quickly nodded and promised..
