When Chu's mother woke up, she had already returned to Rongcheng.
"Hmm... It's so good to be home."
"No, no, no, no, I don't want to go home."
She recalled that she had run away from home to Shanghai without telling anyone. Her husband and mother-in-law had scolded her on the phone, and the scolding was even more intense when she returned to Chengdu.
The flight attendant crouched down and asked, "Hello, how can I help you?"
Chu's mother asked with a serious expression, "Can the plane return to where it is? I don't want to go back to Chengdu."
Is this how first-class passengers think? They must be quite clever to make so much money... The flight attendant paused for a moment, then politely replied, "I'm sorry, no, but if you'd like, you can go back to your seat."
The plane glided and landed safely.
Chu's mother reluctantly left the plane, almost cautiously leaving the aisle, but was still blocked by Chu's father.
Where do you want to go?
"Hehe..." Chu's mother forced a smile, "Going home? What are you doing here? I didn't see you."
She immediately grabbed her mother's arm and said, "Mom, have you missed me? I miss you so much, so very much."
Grandma Chu wanted to scold her daughter, but seeing her obedient appearance, her heart softened and she soothed her daughter's face, saying, "You must have had a hard time outside."
"Yes, it's very hard work."
Seeing this, Chu's father sighed: "Don't do this again."
Chu's mother beamed: "I promise I won't run away from home."
"I want to say, when you leave in the future, take me with you."
"Eek~~~"
... ...
Back in the town, after finishing her meal, Chu's mother rode her electric scooter to her father's tomb.
Because she had instructed Chu's father to come and clean it, the tomb was indeed spotless.
As Chu's mother burned paper money, she said, "Dad, it's been so long since I've seen you. Don't be angry. I'm here to visit your granddaughter-in-law."
"Although Zhong Tingyue and I don't get along, and she always makes me angry, that girl is very nice, very good. She's very kind to Guai Guai and to me..."
Sitting in front of the tomb, Chu's mother kept talking, and suddenly her eyes reddened: "I want you to see Zhong Tingyue, your granddaughter-in-law. She didn't bully me, so you can rest assured."
"Dad, I miss you so much."
... ...
It rained continuously in Shanghai all day, only stopping in the evening.
Chu Fang and Zhong Tingyue spent the day at home. The former played games, while the latter read books and watched TV series. They each did their own thing and complemented each other perfectly.
"Phew..." Chu Fang walked to the window, looked down, and stretched. "Ms. Zhong, what would you like to eat tonight?"
"dumpling."
"Good taste."
The two then went into the kitchen. Zhong Tingyue was in charge of kneading the dough, while Chu Fang was in charge of making the dumpling filling, which was pork and sauerkraut.
Chu Fang really likes the pickled cabbage made from cabbage in the north. It has a yellowish appearance. After washing it twice to remove excess sourness and impurities, it has a refreshing, fresh, and crisp taste. It is delicious in dumplings, fish dishes, noodles, soups...
Chu Fang is a native of the South and doesn't know how to make dumplings by hand. The dumplings he makes are strangely shaped, some are shaped like missiles, some are shaped like small houses, and some are shaped like Ultraman.
There are even those in the defense stage.
Enraged, Zhong Tingyue kicked him away.
They can't get anything done, but they're really into having fun.
"Can you get out of here?"
"Call me 'Dad' and get out of here immediately."
Before long, the dumplings were cooked. A pot of steaming dumplings, with translucent skins and tempting fillings, released a burst of delicious broth the moment they were opened, and had a soft, chewy texture.
Especially when paired with authentic northern dipping sauce, soy sauce with minced garlic and sesame oil, it's simply... unbeatable!
After finishing their meal, the two immediately went downstairs for a walk to digest.
It had been raining all day, and the weather was chilly, but there were quite a few people taking a walk around, in small groups of two or three.
This city is never short of people taking walks, even in temperatures ranging from 37 or 38 degrees Celsius to sub-zero temperatures, people still stroll through the streets.
Perhaps the pace of life in Shanghai is too fast, and taking a walk can help people slow down.
Chu Fang and Zhong Tingyue each led a pet as they walked slowly.
Sometimes I feel that taking a walk like this is quite nice.
"Mr. Chu."
"Um?"
"Now you're my fiancé, right?"
"Am I your father?"
Zhong Tingyue gently patted his arm: "Are you crazy?"
"Hehe, you tell me."
How much dowry are you planning to give me?
"Um?"
Chu Fang snorted softly, turned to look at Zhong Tingyue, who tilted her head, her delicate face full of smiles, "How many do you want?"
How much do you want to give?
"Just tell me how much you want?"
"It's all the sentiment, no matter how small."
"So how much is enough to show your sincerity?"
"My heart is in yours."
Chu Fang's lips twitched: "Are you trying to play riddles with me?"
They even got into a tug-of-war; if they kept going, they'd both become Buddhas.
Zhong Tingyue: "Look at you, I just asked casually."
"real?"
"Nonsense, I was just asking out of boredom."
Chu Fang stroked his chin: "Then 0.01!"
Zhong Tingyue nodded: "That's good."
He was somewhat surprised: "You're not angry?"
Unexpected!
“What’s there to be angry about?” Zhong Tingyue said. “I told you I was just asking casually, just chatting over tea.”
Don't you think it's a bit too little?
"How much is 'a lot'?" Zhong Tingyue countered.
Chu Fang asked, "How much dowry have you prepared?"
“Savings, the house, and shares in the studio.” Zhong Tingyue counted them on her fingers, then suddenly slapped her forehead. “Oh, right, my house is almost finished being renovated, but I haven’t seen it yet.”
genius!
