He didn't know if there was too much sugar in the fried eggs tonight, but he endured it and ate a whole bowl of it. He felt very thirsty, and as soon as he lay down, he got up again to find some water to drink.

When Lin Yuyao heard the noise, she put on her clothes and went out to see what was going on. When she turned on the light, she saw him groping around in the house.

He couldn't find the light rope, and there were no street lights in the countryside at night. With no moon, the house was completely dark.

It's so dark that you can't even see your hand in front of you, so you have to rely on feeling.

"Why aren't you sleeping?"

Fu Huaiyi turned around and said, "I came to get some water. I remember there is a kettle here."

"I took it to the kitchen. Come with me."

She turned on the lights and took Fu Huaiyi to the kitchen to get some water.

Seeing his shareholder finish a big bowl, Lin Yuyao said with a smile: "Is it because the dinner was too salty?"

"Fortunately, the food is not salty, but the egg is too sweet."

She knew how much sugar her mother put in poached eggs, and she would only add two more spoonfuls if she was satisfied with her son-in-law.

"Why don't you tell me? And you even finished the soup."

"Didn't you say the sweeter, the happier?"

Well……

“I have to finish my drink.”

Well, you have to bear the consequences yourself.

"Take the water bottle back to your room so you don't have to look for it again."

"I took it away. What if you guys want to drink it?"

"We don't drink water at night, take it."

As the two were talking, they saw Ye Lian coming out with her clothes on.

"Why are you two whispering to each other instead of sleeping?"

Lin Yuyao said, "Nothing, we came out to find some water to drink."

"Do you both want some water?"

"No, I couldn't find the kettle, and Yaoyao came out to help me."

"Oh, I forgot to bring the kettle to the main room. Xiaofu, please take the kettle to your room."

"OK."

I drank too much water that night and woke up twice.

That bowl of sugar-water poached eggs was really filling.

…

The next day, Lin Yuyao asked Ye Lian, "Will my elder brother and his wife come back?"

"They are at work, so I'm afraid they don't have time. But I've already made an agreement with them that if we have an agreement with Xiao Fu's family and you are sure to get married, they must go to South City for the wedding."

"Okay." I felt a little regretful that I couldn't see my elder brother during this rare visit.

Fu Huaiyi said he wanted to call his home, so Lin Yuyao took him to the captain's house.

But the captain's wife was at home and she didn't know how to play, so she just let them play by themselves.

Fu Huaiyi went into the house to make a phone call, and Lin Yuyao was chatting with her in the yard.

"Yuyao, I've heard that this guy's family is well-off and he's a nice guy. The only downside is that he's too far away. But I remember that your Lin Ping is also studying in South City, right?"

"Yes."

"Will he come back after graduation?"

"They were assigned jobs by the school and will probably stay in South City."

"Oh, that's good. Work there and settle down there in the future. If you siblings develop well, you will also help out your eldest brother and sister-in-law in the future. After all the old people in the family have passed away, then you can take your parents over. As long as the family is together, it doesn't matter where you settle down."

She thought so too, but she didn't know whether her elder brother, sister-in-law, and parents would agree.

But one thing is for sure, I am definitely not willing to do that now.

My parents were concerned about the three acres of land at home and didn't want my eldest brother and his wife to go too far.

Their ideas are also relatively traditional, and they plan to let the eldest son inherit the family's big tiled house.

Not long after, Fu Huaiyi came out after finishing his phone call. Lin Yuyao paid for the call and left with Fu Huaiyi.

On the way, Fu Huaiyi was worried and held her back. Suddenly, he said uneasily, "My grandpa is here."

Lin Yuyao was startled, "When?"

"I arrived yesterday and am on my way now, by car."

"Just him or?"

"Just him and a driver."

Lin Yuyao: “…”

"How does he know my home?"

"He asked Lao Wang about it. Didn't you pass the political review before?"

That's... okay.

"So... what does the old man mean?"

He was very worried about this matter. "I don't know either."

This made her feel very anxious.

She remembered Yi Yunshuo saying that the old man hoped Fu Huaiyi would find someone of equal status, so... the old man wouldn't be here to stop them, right?

Lin Yuyao suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "Whatever happens, what is coming will come, and you can't avoid it even if you want to."

"Don't think about it, come on, I'll take you around."

"good."

They are a little poor here, but the scenery is beautiful.

In April, the mountains and fields are lush and green, and the ground is full of wild flowers.

The two of them played until dinner time before going back.

Ye Lian asked with a smile, "Did you go out to play?"

"Yeah, we went around."

"Go visit your grandmother this afternoon."

Lin Yuyao: "Going today? I was planning to go tomorrow. If I go in the afternoon, I will just sit for a while and then leave."

"Your uncle is not at home, who will entertain you? Just sit for a while and then go. The main thing is to take Xiao Fu to see your grandmother."

"Okay, I'll follow your instructions."

After lunch, Ye Lian took Lin Yuyao and Fu Huaiyi back to her parents' home.

She originally wanted to bring cigarettes and alcohol, but Ye Lian refused and only allowed her to bring cakes, candies, and a box of aged mountain ginseng.

These are all things old ladies can eat.

Lin Yuyao asked in a low voice: "What we brought are all for grandma, I'm afraid my aunt will have opinions."

"Let her have her say."

Lin Yuyao: “…” Did she have another fight with her aunt?

"What's going on?"

Ye Lian curled her lips and snorted, "If I bring these good cigarettes and good wine, they will end up in the mouths of Xu Mei's brothers. Why would I bring them?"

This...my aunt seems to have this problem.

"The things you took to your grandmother's house last year were taken to Xu Mei's mother's house by your uncle when he left home to work."

All right.

They came out with things, and Fu Huaiyi regretted not preparing anything in advance, because all they brought were things they brought from South City.

While Ye Lian was locking the door, Fu Huaiyi whispered, "You didn't tell me you have a grandmother at home. I haven't prepared any gifts for her. Now I'm in a hurry to go, and it's too late to go to the city to buy anything."

"It's OK."

After Ye Lian locked the door and came out, Fu Huaiyi said nothing more.

It’s closer to Ye’s house, just over a few small slopes.

The old lady had heard that Lin Yuyao was coming with her boyfriend, so after having lunch she sat at the door with a stool and waited.

I waited almost an hour before I saw them.

"Mom, are you sitting here in the sun?" Ye Lian called out to her with a smile.

Because she has a bit of a hearing problem, she can only hear when the sound is louder.

"Hey, I'm sitting here in the sun. It's warm."

The old lady responded repeatedly, tilting her head to look at Lin Yuyao and Fu Huaiyi behind her.

That tall guy...

"This is Xiao Fu, right?"

"Yes, this is Yuyao's partner. Mom, do you think it's a good idea?"
