Yu Tong was still afraid of seeing his parents. She has been a single dog for more than 20 years, has no practical experience, and has been indoctrinated into the idea that her mother-in-law is an evil mother-in-law. It is strange that she can accept it all at once.
It took Yu Tong a few days to read military-related books first. Grandpa Xie liked this. Yu Tong understands that the most important patriarch in this era is grandpa, so it is right to please him first.
As for the others, Yu Tong was a little worried about Xie Wencheng’s mother. Judging from Xie Wencheng’s description, it seems that his mother is not easy to get along with.
The roommate was very surprised at Yu Tong’s sudden hard work during this period. Although Yu Tong usually worked hard, she had always combined work and rest, but she had never studied day and night like she is now.
“Tongtong, what happened to you?” “What can happen to me ? I am reading a book.” Yu Tong slightly covered up her book published in 2018. If it didn’t happen suddenly, she would be able to read it all in the supermarket Yu Tong really didn’t dare to bring out these books.
The roommates were even more suspicious.
Yu Tong pretended to be calm: “Oh, I’m going to meet Wen Cheng’s parents soon…”
The roommate suddenly realized: “Supplement the knowledge of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!” She touched her head in wonder, “Is there such a book? Forget it, what are you doing? How good it is to waste money buying this kind of book and let my mother teach you directly. She has the most say in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She and my grandma have been fighting wits and courage for 20 years, and they are still alive!”
Yu Tong: “…”
… It’s not that scary, is it?
The day when the scheduled meeting with Xie Wencheng’s parents is getting closer, Yu Tong can only hurry up and read books, though military books are good, there must be knowledge, but dealing with the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law… Yu Tong can’t understand up. She read only two pages, then tossed it aside.
In the evening, she went to the supermarket and wondered what gift to give Xie Wencheng’s family. Not only must she be generous, not to lose face for herself, but also pay attention to her student status, and not buy too expensive ones, otherwise people will wonder where her money came from. Sure enough, it is difficult to please the in-laws.
Yu Tong sighed while ordering, and the man asked curiously, “I’ve only heard you sigh these days, what are you worried about? Can’t you read the books well? ”
Yu Tong sighed again. The man said indifferently: “Normally, you have to endure the early stage, and now there are so many stores of all kinds, and your store doesn’t have any special attribute, it’s too difficult to Remember about it.”
Yu Tong was stunned for a moment, “Remember?”
“Yes , Look at those online celebrity restaurants, they all have their own characteristics. For example, Haidilao, they market high-quality services, what do you say about your hotpot restaurant?” Yu Tong felt that the voice of a man was so beautiful for the first time.
That’s right, although she is only in one system now, there may be how many stores in the system. The stores have unique characteristics to attract customers.
Yu Tong asked: “By the way, do you have a network like Weibo?”
In the past, Yu Tong’s methods of stimulating turnover were relatively traditional. When the man mentioned Haidilao, Yu Tong remembered that there is such a useful thing as the Internet. She used to frequent various online celebrity shops, some of which were really good, while others were just pure marketing.
Yu Tong is not a real environment, but a simple model, so she is very confident in marketing the Sichuan restaurant as an online celebrity restaurant.
“Yes, why, do you want to buy trending searches?”
“It doesn’t have to be trending searches, but other aspects are also fine, as long as there is exposure.” Yu Tong said, “But I haven’t figured out what to find for my store yet.” Such a memory point, is it spicy enough?”
“That’s not okay,” the man denied, “Sichuan cuisine restaurants are all under this name, and it’s nothing new for you to do this.”
It’s true.
Yu Tong thought about it for a long time, but couldn’t think of any good solution for a while, so she said: “Let’s talk about it later, I will go back to study and research, and publicity will also cost money. I will go back and calculate how much money I have.”
Lack of money, her paintings took a lot of money to go out, nearly a million for a painting. This is the price she paid for her first painting, and it may be even higher if she paints a good work in the future. In short, there is no need to worry about Yu Tong’s future.
On the day Tu Tong went to meet the parents, Yu Tong changed into a formal suit, a white shirt with dark brown trousers, and a belt. The hair is combed into two braids, and the appearance is stable and playful.
She also carried a very popular army green messenger bag, which contained her “meeting gift”.
Xie Wencheng looked at Yu Tong’s bulging bag, feeling inexplicably sweet in his heart. He walked over in two or three steps and reached out to take Yu Tong’s bag, “What did you buy? There are so many things at home . I didn’t tell you to bring, they know you are still a student, so they won’t blame you.”
“I didn’t buy anything, I just made some small things myself,” Yu Tong said with a dignified expression as if facing a formidable enemy, “Why are you dressed so casually? You clearly wore a suit and tie last time!”
Xie Wencheng really didn’t dress well today, a white shirt with unbuttoned buttons, and just a casual pair of trousers on his lower body. He took Yu Tong’s hand, held it firmly, and said with a smile: “I said it was my family having a meal together, so why do you care about it? It’s okay, you look so good today, they must like you.”
Yu Tong Dazed: “What?! If I don’t look good, they won’t like me?!”
Xie Wencheng: “…”
The logic of women is really confusing.
The Xie family lived in a courtyard, and the people living around the Xie family were almost all dignitaries, and the Xie family was the most conspicuous one. Everyone heard that the grandson of the old Xie family had finally found a partner, so they all ran out to watch the fun.
A few people who were familiar with Xie’s family went directly to Xie’s house and waited. Yu Tong looked at the people in the alley and couldn’t laugh or cry, “Didn’t you say it was just for your family to meet?”
Xie Wencheng: “…”
He also wanted to know what was going on… but these people were basically educated and wouldn’t be Chewing tongue in Yu Tong’s face, only saying hello to Yu Tong.
Everyone is very friendly, and their eyes are full of blessings, which makes Yu Tong feel a little relieved.
When they got to the door of Xie’s house, Grandma Xie had been waiting for a long time. She was on crutches, and beside her were two relatives of the Xie family, all of whom looked at Yu Tong with smiles, especially Grandma Xie, as soon as she saw Yu Tong coming, she couldn’t wait to walk towards her, causing everyone behind to panic. Slow down.
Seeing this scene, the other spectators in the alley were shocked. This… who is this little girl, who can let Mrs. Xie go out to greet her? You know, in this alley, few people dare not say hello when they see Mrs. Xie.
For a while, Yu Tong’s identity became a mystery, and everyone thought she had a lot of connections. Grandma Xie didn’t bother to explain to them, she just took Yu Tong’s hand, pushed her grandson away in disgust, and welcomed Yu Tong in, “You’re finally here, do you not miss grandma, why haven’t you come to see me all this time?”
Seeing that everyone in the family was looking at her eagerly, Yu Tong was a little shy. She shyly said: “The school is a bit busy at this time, so I didn’t have time to come over. I will come to see you when I have time.”
Xie Wencheng followed Behind the two , he looked at them with a faint smile.
Grandma Xie led Yu Tong into the house, and warmly introduced her family members to Yu Tong, “This is your third aunt, the one over there is your uncle, and your uncle and second aunt…”
Yu Tong became dizzy the more she listened. Such a large number of people had to be recognized, she was almost face-blind, and in the end she only knew to call someone after Grandma Xie, and didn’t remember anything.
This is not the first time the object of the relationship has met the parents, it is clearly the posture of a new daughter-in-law coming to the door!
Yu Tong cast a mournful glance at Xie Wencheng, who laughed heartily.
In fact, Xie Wencheng did not expect so many people to come, maybe he has been single for many years, so everyone is very curious? But seeing Yu Tong being surrounded by so many people, Xie Wencheng didn’t have the idea of making a rescue.
Instead, he thought that after today, Yu Tong might be able to take the title of Xie’s grandson’s daughter-in-law. This is also very good.
It was only when Yu Tong walked to the living room that she saw the master of the Xie family, that is, Grandpa Xie and Father Xie. Both of them were sitting on the sofa.
Grandpa Xie was in the main seat. He was dressed in a military uniform. Although his hair was gray, he was in good spirits and his sword eyebrows were heroic. Living in such a family, Xie Wencheng has such a good temperament. Father Xie also had a serious expression on his face, and he looked over suddenly, the two of them were not very easy to mess with. Yu Tong secretly pulled Xie Wencheng.
Xie Wencheng smiled and made a reassuring gesture to her. “Sit down,” said Grandpa Xie. Although he was imposing, his tone was very easy-going, “Yu Tong, right? I We are embarassed but It’s been a long time since we had a happy event at home that’s why there are so many people here.” Happy event?
Yu Tong was at a loss, while Xie Wencheng frowned and said, “Grandpa, didn’t I tell you not to mention this matter, Tong Tong is still in school, at least wait until her graduation.”
Grandpa Xie frowned: “Although Tongtong is still in school, she is old enough. I had a son at your age…”
Yu Tong was a little embarrassed. She was originally worried that the Xie family would not like her and asked Xie Wencheng to change partners. Now it seems that the Xie family is eager for someone to come out and accept Xie Wencheng…
Grandpa Xie wanted to say something more, but Grandma Xie didn’t want to. She stared, and walked over in two or three steps, “You old man, didn’t you say that Tongtong is going to school, and I’m not in a hurry to hug my grandson, why are you in a hurry? Tell me, do you still mention it!”
Grandpa Xie shrank his neck in front of Grandma Xie, only shook his head, and dared not speak. Seeing this scene, Yu Tong almost burst out laughing.
No wonder Grandma Xie can go to the county if she wants to go with Xie Wencheng. It turns out that Grandpa Xie and Grandma Xie get along in such a way…
Father Xie was a little embarrassed to see his parents playing tricks in front of their untrained daughter-in-law. He stood up and smiled kindly Smile: ” We made you laugh, my parents are like this, don’t take it to heart.”
“It’s okay,” Yu Tong smiled, “I’m very envious of grandparents.”
***********
Yu Tong had a good meal this time There is no one in the Xie family who dislikes Yu Tong, and they also like the gifts she brought. She personally made dim sum for everyone to eat.
The dim sum is made according to modern recipes, and it is delicious and not greasy. This not only shows her heart, but also does not arouse suspicion because her gift is too expensive.
Strangely, Yu Tong was unable to meet Xie Wencheng’s mother this time. Grandma Xie said that Mother Xie was busy with work, so she was too late to come back this time, and she would see Yu Tong next time. Yu Tong was fine, but Xie Wencheng’s face froze obviously, it could be seen that he still cared if his mother didn’t come.
After dinner, Grandma Xie told Xie Wencheng to send Yu Tong back to the dormitory.
After a busy day, and finally having time to be alone, Yu Tong asked about Xie’s mother, “Do you mind if your mother didn’t come?”
“I don’t know,” Xie Wencheng shrugged, “I don’t even know it myself. Sometimes I think my mother is nice and reasonable. But sometimes I envy you for having a mother who cares about you and talk sweetly . I was brought up by my grandma since I was a child. My mother basically never brought me up, and I wanted to bond with her when I grew up, but her attitude is very cold, maybe I’m not likable.”
Yu Tong said distressedly: “How could it be, you are so nice, everyone likes you.”
Xie Wencheng looked over with a smile, “This is the first time you have praised me so much.”
” Look at what you said, I have never praised you before,” Yu Tong pouted, “I haven’t mentioned you yet, After talking about a simple meal, how could there be so many people there? If you didn’t tell me, I would have thought it was a family reunion. Fortunately, I dressed up in advance, otherwise I would be embarrassed…” Yu Tong didn’t finish her sentence , she felt that her wrist was cold, and the hand that clasped her wrist was pulled back forcefully, and Yu Tong was pulled over.
Xie Wencheng hugged Yu Tong, gently put his arms around her head, and pressed it on his shoulder.
Yu Tong’s heart skipped a beat twice, and only after she became familiar with the smell of Xie Wencheng’s body did she gradually return to normal.
Yu Tong buried her head on Xie Wencheng’s strong shoulder, and whispered: “What are you doing? What if someone sees us?”
Xie Wencheng was very calm: “It’s late at night, who can come here ?”
“What if?” …You let go quickly,” Yu Tong struggled twice before Xie Wencheng let go of Yu Tong, but he still didn’t let her leave him, but pressed Yu Tong’s shoulder, forcing her to stand in front of him.
Yu Tong bit her lip and looked at him. Xie Wencheng usually has a character that is shy to hold hands, but what is it today… the two looked at each other, neither of them said a word, they were silent for about two or three minutes, Xie Wencheng finally seemed to make up his mind, and slowly opened his mouth, “Yu Tong, do you…do you want to marry me?”
Although the method was a bit clumsy, it did sound like a marriage proposal.
Yu Tong didn’t expect men of this era to be romantic anymore, she followed her heart and nodded cheerfully, “If I can live with you for the rest of my life, I would be quite happy.” Xie Wencheng smiled.
He coughed twice, his eyes moved to Yu Tong’s lips, and his fingers gradually clenched nervously. He felt that his relationship with Yu Tong should be closer, but he was always embarrassed.
Yu Tong tilted her head and looked at him, as if she could see his intentions, and also saw that he was embarrassed to act. Yu Tong thought for a while, then suddenly stood on tiptoe, and pressed her lips precisely to Xie Wencheng’s, giving him a superficial kiss.
Xie Wencheng only felt something soft and sticky on his lips for a moment, and then he froze. Are they…kissing?
