After Yu Yin arrived home, Lin Dong drove back to the factory.
"Yu Yin, we have guests. What are we having for dinner? I wonder if there are any dietary restrictions?" Aunt Hu has been working for Yu Yin for several years, and this is the first time she has seen such different guests. They seem very distant, which makes her a little flustered.
"Aunt Hu, there are fresh vegetables in the yard. I'm making a braised fish, braised prawns, and a seafood stir-fry. I'll ask her later if she has any dietary restrictions." Yu Yin didn't take it too seriously. No matter how well-off a young lady from an official family behaves, she still has basic manners.
"Comrade Guan Xinyue, should I say it's been a long time, or should I say it's a pleasure to see you?" Yu Yin had seen Guan Xinyue, the bride, at the wedding, but the bride might not remember Yu Yin.
"Sister Yu Yin, long time no see! I have a deep impression of you!" Guan Xinyue has a rather cold appearance, especially when she stands there without saying a word, she has a very distant feeling.
"Please sit down, is the child asleep?" Yu Yin didn't see the child when she entered the room, so she guessed that the child was probably asleep.
"Yes, I didn't sleep well on the train. As soon as we landed, I was so sleepy that I fell fast asleep here." Guan Xinyue's face was full of love when she talked about her son.
"Xinyue, do you have any dietary restrictions? Can you eat spicy food?"
Yu Yin thought that Aunt Hu was still waiting, so she quickly asked her.
"Sister Yu Yin, I don't have any dietary restrictions, I can eat spicy food, and I like spicy food." Guan Xinyue's eyes lit up when she mentioned eating spicy food.
"Okay, I'll have Aunt Hu prepare dinner. Is there anything you'd like to eat? Aunt Hu can cook most of the home-style dishes." Yu Yin felt that Guan Xinyue only had a cold appearance, but was quite straightforward in personality.
"If it's convenient, I'd like to eat fresh seafood." Guan Xinyue knew a lot about Sister Yu Yin from Wang Wenye, and she also knew that Wang Wenye valued this sister who was not related to her by blood, so she didn't act too politely or distantly.
“That’s easy to say. Although it’s evening and the seafood isn’t as fresh as it is in the morning, we can guarantee that everything will be alive.” Yu Yin told Aunt Hu about the evening’s menu, which would mainly consist of seafood.
Uncle Hu and Aunt Hu went to the market together, so Yu Yin no longer had to worry about dinner.
"Sister Yu Yin, I feel like your cousin-in-law's attitude towards you is a bit like that of an old father." Yu Yin was stunned for a moment. Who was her cousin-in-law? Then she realized that her sister-in-law, Bai Xiaoyu, was Wang Wenye's cousin.
"Ah! My older brother raised me since I was little. Although we are twins, I was slow to react when I was a child and was always bullied. My older brother always stood up for me. He was like a brother and a father to me." When Yu Yin thinks back on those days now, she feels not only bitterness but also a little warmth.
"I really didn't realize it. Looking at you now, I can't imagine what you used to be like. It's impossible to reconcile the two." Guan Xinyue looked at Yu Yin in front of her and could feel the beauty of a peaceful life.
The two got along quite well. Yu Yin couldn't get along with people who spoke in riddles; it was exhausting. She disliked trying to guess what others were thinking, and had too many past traumas.
Before we knew it, the children had come home from school, and a delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen.
"Mom..." came a child's voice from the guest room. Guan Xinyue immediately got up to go see her son.
"Mom, we're back."
Kuai Kuai is always the first one to enter the house every day, shouting loudly for his mother.
"Thank you for your hard work, my sons and daughters!"
"Why didn't you mention me, Ms. Yu Yin? Your husband is back too!" Lu Shurui followed behind the children, and Yu Yin really didn't see him.
"Welcome back, Mr. Lu. You've worked hard too!"
Guan Xinyue came out carrying her son and overheard the family's amusing conversation. She was unsure whether she should go back inside.
"Have we had guests?"
When Lu Shurui saw the stranger holding the child, she was unsure whether to approach or retreat.
"Ah! Wang Wenye's wife." Yu Yin belatedly realized that she had forgotten to introduce her.
"Ah! Beautiful bride, Auntie!"
An'an recognized her. Although all she could see at that moment were figures in military uniforms, she also saw the bride.
"Hello, this is Guan Xinyue. Sorry to bother you."
"Welcome, come and sit down. She's holding her child." Lu Shurui heard from Yu Yin that Wang Wen had also gone on a business trip unexpectedly, and he had no choice but to ask them to take care of the mother and child for a few days.
The children greeted Guan Xinyue, but their eyes were drawn to the little baby in her arms. The baby was so cute! It seems that human babies are quite adorable!
Wang Wenye's son is named Wang Cong. He's a lively and energetic boy, not even two years old, and at that age, he's just the kind of person you want to play with.
Everyone washed their hands and got ready to eat; the aroma kept wafting into their noses.
Aunt Hu specially made seafood porridge, fried ham sausage, and vegetable soup for the little one. The little guy wasn't picky at all and ate with great relish. Later, he wouldn't let his mother feed him anymore and started feeding himself with a spoon.
“It’s good for kids to eat by themselves. All four of my kids have done it this way. It’s just a little tiring to clean up after them.” Yu Yin noticed that Guan Xinyue was a little embarrassed because the child’s hands were not very steady and she made a mess everywhere.
"Sister Yu Yin, is what you said true? I'll let Congcong eat by himself from now on, and he seems to enjoy it, but I'm still a little worried." Guan Xinyue didn't go back to work after giving birth and took care of her child herself.
Yu Yin never expected that there would be stay-at-home moms taking care of their children full-time at this time. She thought that people at this time could balance family and work.
With the child no longer needing to worry, Guan Xinyue began to enjoy the food. She loved seafood, but there wasn't much fresh seafood in Beijing, so it always felt a little lacking.
The seafood today was delicious; the flavors really brought out its freshness.
After dinner, An'an and the others went to do their homework. Congcong watched his older siblings leave and wanted to follow them. Guan Xinyue took him to play on the swings under the grape trellis, and Yu Yin found some toys that the children had used when they were little. Congcong immediately forgot about his older siblings.
It was getting late, so everyone went back to their rooms, washed up, and went to bed.
As Guan Xinyue soothed her child to sleep, she lay in bed, feeling a strange sense of wonder.
I brought my child to meet up with my husband, but he unexpectedly went on a business trip. I ended up staying at a friend's house with my child, but I didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
She knows she has a straightforward personality and sometimes speaks without thinking, which can easily offend people without her realizing it. She has never had any close friends in her life.
In particular, her cold appearance gives people the first impression that she is difficult to get along with, which makes many people shy away from her and not take the initiative to approach her. She is also not good at breaking the ice.
Over time, she gave up the idea of actively making friends. She met Wang Wenye through a blind date, and since he was a good match in many ways, they got married. Their love wasn't passionate, but Wang Wenye was excellent in every way, and they got along very well.
Guan Xinyue's mind was filled with all sorts of random thoughts, and she didn't know when she fell asleep.
On the second floor, Lu Shurui and Yu Yin said, "Wenye's wife is quite straightforward, unlike a child who grew up in a political family."
"It's probably just their nature. How could a family like that not teach their children some speaking skills?"
Yu Yin felt that Guan Xinyue's personality might be innate and she hadn't changed it, which was fine, as it made getting along with her less burdensome.
The night was quiet, with only the moon guarding the night sky.
