Yu Jihong was taken aback, because Fang Yu had previously said that Thor wanted her to be with his father. Now that Yu Jihong was so close to Fang Yu, she felt a little uncomfortable.

"Oh, please sit down." Yu Jihong pulled over a chair.

Lei Feng's father handed the gift box to Yu Jihong, saying, "This is for you."

"No need, no need, you're too kind."

"You're too kind. My son, Lei Feng, is quite immature and often comes to your house for meals. I'm asking you to take care of him."

“Lei Feng’s child is diligent, which is good, and he’s sensible,” Yu Jihong replied with a smile.

"Fang Yu's mom, I'll get straight to the point." Lei Feng's dad changed the subject, his expression becoming serious.

"good."

"Lei Feng and Fang Yu fell in love on their own, so I won't go through the roundabout process of finding a matchmaker. I'm here today to propose marriage to Lei Feng myself. Whatever your family's requirements are, we'll do our best to meet them."

Yu Jihong poured a cup of hot water and handed it to him, saying, "Lei Feng's dad, have some water."

Lei Feng's father had passed by here before and only caught a glimpse of Yu Jihong from the outside. Today, after getting to know her up close, he found that she indeed possessed a more gentle and graceful charm than women of the same age, which greatly increased his admiration for her.

Lei Feng's father took the cup. "Fang Yu's mother, my Lei Feng truly loves Fang Yu. After he started dating Fang Yu, he worked even harder than before. He said he wanted to earn money to marry Fang Yu. There are only Lei Feng and me in our family." Lei Feng's father glanced at Yu Jihong. "If Fang Yu and you are willing, we will be a family from now on and take care of each other."

Yu Jihong also sensed the hidden meaning in his words, "I still need to ask Fang Yu what she thinks. She's still young, and as her mother, I need to discuss it with her."

"That's right, that's right, I should have done it. I was too hasty. I also wanted them to make a decision as soon as possible." Lei Feng's father nodded quickly, trying to hide his impatience.

Lei Feng's father had said everything he needed to say, and the two fell silent for a moment, with a slightly awkward silence in the air.

Lei Feng's father wanted to sit for a while longer, so he started a conversation, "Is Fang Yu still at home?"

"Yes, let her sleep in a little longer since it's a holiday."

Lei Feng's father placed his hands on his knees and rubbed them gently. "Then, I'll go back first. You guys discuss it, and I'll come back later."

"I'll talk to Lei Feng about it!"

"Okay, okay." Lei Feng's father glanced at Yu Jihong again, his eyes filled with reluctance. "Fang Yu's mother, am I leaving now?"

"Okay, take care." Yu Jihong nodded.

Lei Feng's father grinned before turning and leaving.

After Lei Feng's father left, Yu Jihong sat in front of the cashier, her toes tapping together, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

She never imagined her daughter would reach marriageable age. She knew Fang Yu was willing to marry Lei Feng, and after spending more than half a year together, she also felt that Lei Feng was reliable. Only she could vouch for Fang Yu; she was sure she wouldn't make a mistake this time, as this was her daughter's lifelong happiness.

Fang Yu cooked lunch at home and brought it over.

"Fang Yu, Lei Feng's father came this morning."

"What's he doing here?" Fang Yu placed the thermos on the table.

"Propose marriage."

Fang Yu lowered her head and remained silent.

"Fang Yu, what are your thoughts?" Yu Jihong asked softly.

"Mom, you eat first, don't let it get cold." Fang Yu pulled up a chair and sat down next to her.

"It's okay, tell Mom how you feel."

"I think Lei Feng was a good person." Fang Yu bit her lip.

Yu Jihong looked up and smiled, "Mom knows. I still think you're a child, still..." Yu Jihong's eyes reddened.

"Mom, I'll take you with me." Fang Yu leaned over Yu Jihong. "Mom, did Lei Feng ever say anything to you?"

"say what?"

"What about you and him?" Fang Yu asked in a low voice.

“What could possibly happen between us? We’ve only just met.” Yu Jihong chuckled.

"Mom, let me tell you, actually Lei Feng's father did come to see you, and he took a liking to you too," Fang Yu said mysteriously.

"Mom, don't rush. You two can live together better first."

"I don't want anyone else to be my mother-in-law; I want my mother-in-law to be my own mother."

"You silly child, you're arranging marriages for your mother like this! Do you even know Lei Feng's father?"

“Mom,” Fang Yu leaned over and said, “Lei Feng took me to his house for dinner. I was initially embarrassed to go, but if I didn’t go, I wouldn’t be able to get to know his father. After a few interactions, I felt that his father was quite reliable.”

Yu Jihong rolled her eyes at Fang Yu, "Aren't you afraid of being laughed at for your little scheme? Your mother and daughter are marrying into the same family."

"Mom, you're the kind of person who doesn't care what other people think."

"This is different. I don't know his father well enough. Let's take it slow, and don't bring this up again. Otherwise, it'll be too awkward when we meet."

"Oh!" Fang Yu nodded somewhat disappointedly.

Just then, Fang Yu's phone rang. Lei Feng sent her a message saying that his father was home today and invited Fang Yu and her mother to his house for dinner.

"Mom, Lei Feng said he wants us to have dinner at his house tonight."

"I'm not going. I'm not going," Yu Jihong hurriedly waved her hands.

Fang Yu replied with a few messages, "Mom, I'll bring it over to you tonight."

"No, don't go to so much trouble. I'll just cook something simple at the shop."

"No need to do it anymore. Wash this bucket. Dinner will still be delivered to you here."

“Fang Yu,” Yu Jihong straightened up and joked, “it’s like his house is already your house.”

"Mom!" Fang Yu hid next to her, hugged her arm, and leaned on her shoulder.

Lei Feng came to the store to pick up Fang Yu after get off work, saying, "Auntie, let's go eat together!"

"No, I need to watch the shop. You guys go eat, I'm not hungry right now."

Fang Yu picked up the thermos and got on the motorcycle. "Mom, we'll bring it to you later."

"You child, you don't know how to be polite at all." Yu Jihong smiled helplessly.

"Auntie, I'll come to your house for meals often. We're off! My dad just called to say dinner is ready."

Lei Feng started his motorcycle. "My dad kept asking me at lunchtime, 'What does your mom like to eat?' He wanted to make a good impression."

"Do you know what my mom likes to eat?"

"I was only thinking about you and didn't take good care of you. I'll have my dad look into it!" Lei Feng said with a smile.

At the door, Fang Yu handed the thermos to Thor, saying, "Take it inside."

As soon as you enter, you can smell the rich aroma of meat.

"Fang Yu is here!" Lei Feng's father said with a big smile, wearing an apron.

"Yes, Uncle, we're here to eat."

"Okay, it's done."

A brand new thermos was placed on the stove.

Lei Feng glanced at it, smiled, and said, "Dad, did you go and buy one?"

“You said Fang Yu’s mom wasn’t coming over to eat, so I sent it over to her. It’s cold, and I was worried it would get cold, so I bought one when I went grocery shopping,” Lei Feng’s dad said, wiping his hands as he spoke naturally.

"Oh, we brought it."

"It's alright, we can keep this for now and deliver it next time," Lei Feng's father said casually.

Thor glanced around the table; it was laden with dishes, a neat mix of meat and vegetables. "This meal must have been cooking for a while now," he said.

"I'm not working today, so I'll make this early. You guys eat, I'll take it over to Fang Yu's mom first."

"Uncle, no need, we'll just eat and take it to her," Fang Yu said as she came out.

"I'll take the food over first if it gets cold. Fang Yu, I don't know if your mother will like these dishes."

"Yes, my mom likes these dishes."

"Feng, serve Fang Yu some rice. I'll just put a little bit of everything on my plate and send it over."

Lei Feng's father brought over a pair of clean chopsticks and put a little bit of each dish into the container. There were too many dishes to fit in one thermos. "Luckily, there's still one left."

He brought over a new thermos and started filling it again, saying, "Uncle, my mom can't eat that much, this is enough."

"Try a little of everything after you cook it." Thor's dad continued to serve the food, then put the lid back on. "Fang Yu, you guys eat now, don't wait for me. I ate some while I was cooking."

Lei Feng's father had a thermos on each side of the handlebars of his old-fashioned curved-beam motorcycle.
