Although I felt nervous in my heart, I still felt very happy when I heard this kind voice coming from the room. After all, Xia Haoyu didn’t have many relatives, and Uncle De raised him. If he is the elder and my mother
Meeting each other was also a happy event. I knocked on the door gently and walked indoors.
Xia Haoyu and Uncle De looked at me at the same time. I nodded lightly, called "Uncle De" to Uncle De, and the food in my hand was already taken by Xia Haoyu.
"Seeing that you're not at home, I guessed that you might have gone shopping for groceries. How about it? Are you tired of carrying so many things?"
I did it myself.”
I shook my head, but saw Xia Haoyu holding my hand and walking towards Uncle De, saying: "Isn't our mother coming over tonight? Although Uncle De is my master, once he is a teacher, he is always a father.
You are here to meet our mother in person on my behalf."
I didn't expect that Xia Haoyu would actually think of this and go to the bamboo forest to meet Uncle De early in the morning. Is it just for our marriage?
"Uncle De, I'm going to make you tea." I took all the fruits and vegetables in my hand, bowed gently to Uncle De, turned around and walked to the kitchen.
Looking out from the kitchen, Uncle De wore a dark red Tang suit today, with golden embroidery patterns running on the clothes, a simple stand-up collar, and exposed pockets on both sides. Although the color is festive, it is not bright red.
There was actually a feeling of a lucky star about him. His eyes were calm and his mouth opened and closed, as if he was saying something to Xia Haoyu.
Only then did I notice that Xia Haoyu was also wearing formal clothes today, with his back straight, his eyes calm, and he looked like he was listening with an open mind.
I once heard an old man say that a loving father and a filial son are the greatest honors a person can enjoy at this time. This must be the case. In fact, I don't understand that what Brother Yu wants is just that simple.
"Uncle De, drink tea." I carefully brought the brewed tea to Uncle De. When he nodded slightly, I brought the other cup to Xia Haoyu. Xia Haoyu gave me a meaningful look and turned towards the kitchen.
They chatted about their affairs, so I had to start preparing dinner, right? Who knew that as soon as I started, Xia Haoyu walked in and hugged me from behind.
I was worried that Uncle De would see it, so I moved a little and said, "Uncle De is still outside, let go."
Xia Haoyu rested his chin on my shoulder, still holding me tightly with both hands, and said: "No, I just want to hold you like this, Duoduo, I suddenly feel that fate is still very good to me."
"You have to prepare dinner, otherwise there won't be anything to eat if mom comes over..."
"Fool, we don't need to do anything today for the time being. When we meet our mother for the first time, of course we have to go to the hotel. Wenhao has already given me a call and said he will be there in half an hour." Xia Haoyu let go of his hand and walked over.
In front of me, he looked at me carefully and said, "Look, our mother is here today, how can she be dressed like this? Let's go upstairs and change clothes. When we come down, we will go to the hotel."
I didn’t expect Han Wenhao to do things so efficiently. It takes nearly three hours to get there from Yunshui Town to Philadelphia according to the normal route. It’s only around three o’clock in the afternoon, and Han Wenhao is on his way back. This really makes me happy, so I
Following Xia Haoyu's instructions, I went upstairs to change clothes. Half an hour later, Uncle De, Xia Haoyu and I appeared in front of the hotel.
My cell phone rang at this time. I opened it and saw that it was indeed a call from my mother. I glanced at Xia Haoyu and answered it.
"Duoduo, we have arrived in Philadelphia. Wenhao told us to go to the hotel first. Where are you?" It was her mother's gentle voice. Judging from the tone, the journey should go smoothly.
"We are almost at the entrance of the hotel, and Uncle De is also here. If you arrive, you will naturally see me."
"Okay, I understand. You go in and sit down first. It's cold outside. Don't let the elders stand outside." Mom said with concern.
"Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Haoyu and I arranged Uncle De into the private room. After entering, we found that it was a Chinese-style private room. Both the table and the interior furnishings exuded a unique Chinese flavor.
The hotel manager came in and left. Xia Haoyu and I went out to pick up my mother again. The whole atmosphere was warm and peaceful.
It’s hard to imagine that after Xia Haoyu and I have gone through so much, we will finally have the parents of the two parties formally meet. I don’t know how Xia Haoyu persuaded Uncle De to come over today, but I still feel very grateful for his arrival.
.
Fifteen minutes later, Han Wenhao appeared at the door of the hotel in an Audi. His brother and mother walked in from the car. I walked forward excitedly, hugging my mother and refusing to let go.
Lin Kejia laughed at my childishness, but I didn’t care about it anymore. I thought that I had never been home since graduation. In addition, so many things happened in Philadelphia a year ago, and I didn’t even spend New Year’s Eve with my mother. I felt slow in my heart.
Slowly feeling guilty, my mother patted my back gently and said with a smile: "Silly girl, someone is standing there staring at you."
I turned around and saw Brother Yu standing there with the corners of his mouth raised, as if he was waiting for me to hug my mother before he was ready to come over. Then he took my mother's hand and walked up and said, "Mom, this is Xia Haoyu."
,Brother Yu, this is my mother."
"Hello, Auntie, welcome to Philadelphia." Xia Haoyu bowed lightly, pointed to the hotel and said, "Let's go in first, Auntie, you've had a hard time on the road."
However, Lin Kejia stood in front of Xia Haoyu in three steps and said with a smile: "Brother Yu, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are even more handsome."
Xia Haoyu just smiled softly and led us towards the box. My mother and I were walking side by side. My mother's eyes were staring at Xia Haoyu. I turned my head and asked her in a low voice, "How are you doing?"
My mother looked at me, smiled, and said, "This kid is not bad."
Han Wenhao dragged Xiao Meng in, and everyone officially met. Uncle De was sitting there, and his mother was sitting next to him. The two of them were talking softly. Looking at her mother's face, she must be quite satisfied.
"Today the parents of the two families have officially met. I have already explained Haoyu's situation to my mother-in-law one by one. Let's see, mother-in-law. Is there anything else that needs to be explained?" Uncle De looked around with a faint smile on his face.
He said: "If my mother-in-law has any requests, just ask her. As long as we can do it, we will do our best."
My mother also had a smile on her face, looked at me and said: "Haoyu, this kid, told me about Duoduo, a good writer, on the way here. The principal of our town even went to my house in person to thank Haoyu and Duoduo for donating to everyone.
Hope Primary School, I have no objection to the matter of the two children. As long as Haoyu treats Duoduo well in the future, I will be satisfied."
Hearing these words spoken by my mother, I felt indescribable happiness in my heart. Looking at Xia Haoyu sitting next to Uncle De, his eyes also looked towards me. We seemed to have seen through each other's thoughts.
A knowing smile.
"In this case, the matter of these two children has been settled," Uncle De looked at us, then looked at his mother, and said in a sincere tone: "It is not easy for them to reach this point, so why not pick a good time?
Let them get the certificate. My mother-in-law, what do you think?"
Everyone at the table looked at my mother, who smiled slightly and said with a smile: "Let the children decide."
"Ahhhh!" Han Wenhao stood up from the table excitedly, gave Xia Haoyu a quick high-five, and said with a smile: "Brother Yu, congratulations! I'm so happy!"
Xia Haoyu turned around and walked in front of his mother. He glanced at me and immediately knelt down on his legs. He looked at his mother and said, "Mom, I will take care of Duoduo. Don't worry."
The mother stood up in a panic, pulled Xia Haoyu and said: "This child, look at you, there is gold under the man's knees, how can he kneel down, get up, get up and talk."
However, Xia Haoyu still stubbornly knelt on the ground and said calmly: "Mom, thank you for your trust in me. I will take care of you, thank you!"
"Child, get up quickly, eat, eat..." Mom pulled Brother Yu's hand again, and Xia Haoyu stood up. I looked at his eyes and saw tears in his eyes.
I understand how he feels, because only in our hearts can we truly understand how difficult this moment is.
After dinner, Lei Yu picked up Uncle De, and my mother and I returned home together. Lin Kejia was taken out to play by Han Wenhao and Xiao Meng, and the three of us returned home. My mother and Xia Haoyu were chatting in the living room, and I was in the living room.
Tidy up the guest room.
After tidying up the guest room, I walked out. As soon as I took two steps, I heard the conversation between the two in the living room.
"Haoyu, seeing that you are getting married to Duoduo, there is something I have thought about for a long time and I still want to tell you about it." Mom's face was solemn, not knowing what to say.
Xia Haoyu nodded gently and said, "Mom, if you have anything to say, it doesn't matter."
Mom nodded and said: "You also know that Duoduo's father passed away early, leaving only us orphans and widowed mothers. His father must be alive in heaven, and he also hopes that Duoduo can find his own happiness. But I heard the words of the literary giant and knew
You used to be in business. In business, you will naturally offend others. You are not young and you are not afraid of suffering some losses. You must not bet on your own happiness, do you understand?"
Xia Haoyu nodded and said, "I understand what Auntie means. After receiving the certificate and holding the wedding, Duoduo and I will return to Yunshui Town to live with you."
There was a look of surprise on her mother's face and she said: "Haoyu, you can handle these things as you see fit, but there is another matter. I..."
"Mom, you don't have to hesitate. Since we are a family, you treat me as your own son. Just say so."
"You and Duoduo have been together for so long. I wonder if you have discovered that she is actually a little different from ordinary people..."
