When he and Yuan Xudong got on the carriage back to Ningyang County, Chunyu was still confused.
She couldn't believe that yesterday she was an old girl who couldn't get married, and when she woke up, she was being rushed to meet the man's parents.
Isn't this developing very fast?
"Old, boss, why don't we take it easy first and wait until we calm down before telling our family?"
"You've already told me to call me Xudong, haven't you remembered?" Yuan Xudong glared at her and pushed the melon seeds and nuts on the small table in front of her, "Come and eat."
Chunyu looked at the things on the plate and had no intention of eating at all, "Why don't we just forget it..."
"What the hell, I've bought all the gifts, so I can't throw them away?" Yuan Xudong put the peeled walnut kernels into her hands and advised: "Don't worry, my wife is very easy-going, especially to pretty girls.
, better than your biological son."
Chunyu stuffed the walnut kernels into her mouth, and the sweet and fragrant taste spread on her tongue, just like the first time she ate it on this carriage.
My heart suddenly calmed down.
She wiped the sweat from her palms with a handkerchief, showed what she thought was the gentlest smile, and asked Yuan Xudong: "Does it look okay if I dress like this?"
Yuan Xudong leaned on the soft cushion and laughed, "It looks good, it looks very good, hehehe..."
Fuwang's disgusted voice sounded outside: "Master, can we restrain ourselves? The two fools in the village are not as silly as you."
Yuan Xudong raised his eyebrows: "One more thing, this month's wages will be halved!"
Fuwang: Oh, oh, oh, I can’t live this life.
Yuan family.
Mother Yuan and Aunt Ci were sitting in front of the porch doing needlework.
Ever since the skinned female ghost killed her, Yuan's mother had stopped trying to help Yuan Xudong introduce the little girl. After all, her son was unlucky. If he introduced another female ghost or monster, how would he survive?
If her son fails to live up to expectations, she can only focus on other children.
For example, Shen Qingqing and Meng Yuan just got married.
The little clothes in her and Cigu's hands were made for Shen Qingqing's still-unborn child.
After attaching the last button, Mother Yuan shook off her clothes and checked them again. Touching the soft cotton-padded jacket, her heart softened into cotton.
"Hey, if Xudong is more angry, I should be like the old sister next door and go out to play with my grandchildren every day. There is no need to hide at home and do this."
Cigu comforted her: "I think the young master is blessed and will definitely meet a girl who is truly suitable for him."
"Pull him down, for someone like him, I am the only one who can marry a divorced man with two children."
The more Mother Yuan looks at her son, the more bored she becomes. Even if he looks ugly, his brain is still not working well.
Last time I went to Meng's house for a wedding banquet, while others were enjoying the meal, he suddenly started singing with his dog in his arms. Although the singing was not bad, it was embarrassing! She was so ashamed that she hid in the kitchen with the bowl in hand and did not dare to go out to see anyone for a long time.
.
"You just hate that iron cannot become steel."
Cigu answered with a smile. When she looked up, she saw Fuwang walking into the courtyard carrying large and small bags. She quickly put down her things and went out to greet him.
"Old madam, the young master is back!"
"Come back as soon as you come back. It's not like I haven't seen him before." Yuan's mother looked disgusted, but she smiled at the corners of her eyes.
Yuan Xudong handed the food in his hand to his aunt, stretched his head to look at his mother, his face almost turned into a smile, "My son has prepared a surprise for you, why don't you come out and have a look?"
Mother Yuan curled her lips, "How can I still know you? Apart from food, you can't bring out anything else."
"It's not food this time." Yuan Xudong laughed heartily and turned around to wave to Chunyu who was hiding behind the door, "Come in quickly and open your mother's eyes."
"What's this? It's an eye-opener." Yuan's mother also became interested, put down her clothes and walked out quickly. Halfway through, she saw a girl standing next to her son. The girl was very playful, tall, and big.
His eyes, if you look closely, he is still an acquaintance!
Mother Yuan smiled happily, "Is this Chunyu? I almost didn't recognize her after she changed her clothes. She became more beautiful."
Chun Yu was a little embarrassed by the praise, and said with a red face: "Auntie too, she has become younger."
"Really, I can still become younger at my age?" Yuan's mother felt happy when she saw the beautiful girl. She stepped forward and took her arm, and led her into the house while talking about the family's shortcomings: "I heard Xudong say,
You are very capable now, you can cook and manage people..."
Yuan Xudong, who was left standing aside, had a series of ellipses floating on his forehead. Could his mother be any more unreliable? Why did her daughter-in-law abandon her son before she even walked in?
"Mom!" Yuan Xudong shouted and stopped the two of them quickly, "Don't you want to ask about Chunyu and me?"
"You and Chunyu?" Yuan's mother stared in disbelief, "Are you two together?"
Seeing that her expression was wrong, Chunyu quickly explained nervously: "We just got together. If my aunt doesn't agree, then forget it."
"Why don't Auntie agree?" Yuan's mother was so happy that she didn't know where to put it. "If Xudong can marry a beautiful and capable wife like you, I can laugh out loud in my dreams. How can I disagree?"
Yuan Xudong raised his eyebrows at Chun Yu proudly, "How about it? I said my mother would definitely agree, right?"
Chunyu pursed her lips and smiled stupidly, her cheeks flushed, and she was too embarrassed to answer.
Yuan's mother cheerfully tried to smooth things over for her future daughter-in-law, "That's because after giving birth to such an ugly and stupid son, it would be great to get a wife. How can a mother dare to have any objections?"
Yuan Xudong's face collapsed, "Are you still my biological mother? Have you ever harmed your own son like this?"
"I'm telling the truth, you have to learn to accept reality!"
Mother Yuan glared at him, then took Chunyu's arm, with a motherly smile on her face, "Son, although my Xudong is not good-looking, and sometimes he is naive and silly, he is definitely a good person! He can make money, but he can also feel pain.
Daughter-in-law, marrying him will never let you suffer any injustice or hardship!"
Chunyu nodded shyly, "I know Xudong is very good at taking care of people."
Seeing her like this, Mother Yuan knew that she really liked her son, and she felt even happier, "Xudong, this kid has his own thoughts, and he didn't even say hello in advance when he brought you here. Look, I didn't even give him a greeting gift."
Prepare."
Just when Chunyu was about to say no, Yuan's mother happily told Cigu to get her dowry box.
The box was filled with jewelry, bracelets, earrings, hairpins... Mother Yuan picked out a few items that she often used, and stuffed the others into Chunyu's hand together with the box, "Here, son, this is a meeting gift from my aunt."
Chunyu was so frightened that she couldn't speak clearly, "I, this..."
"Mom, this is our first meeting, let's be more reserved and don't scare people away." Yuan Xudong helped her out.
"Oh, be more reserved." Mother Yuan put the box back, picked out a jade hairpin with magnolia flowers carved from it, and inserted it directly into Chun Yu's bun. "It matches your clothes very well. It's very beautiful.
