Chapter 172: Meeting the Parents (Part 2)
"Dad, I miss you." Wen Qingzhou hugged his father back.
Afterwards, Wen Qingzhou spent the entire afternoon immersed in the care and love of his parents.
At dinner time, the family sat in the spacious and bright restaurant with soft lighting. The table was filled with delicacies carefully prepared by the kitchen.
During the conversation, Wen Qingzhou recounted his experience of working outside, which was full of challenges and difficulties, as well as growth and gains. Wen Tingzhu and Shui Ran listened carefully, nodding occasionally, with satisfaction and encouragement on their faces.
When the conversation got excited, Shui Ran mentioned that Ran Yu should go home for the New Year at the end of the year. Wen Qingzhou agreed immediately and told Da Nao before he did that his brother had a girlfriend.
"Qingzhou, your brother has a girlfriend? Who? Some time ago he told us to let go and not interfere in his affairs, and that he would find another half. Now he finds her now? Is it that girl from the Su family?" Shui Ran accurately grasped the key words in her second son's words and was immediately happy.
"No." Wen Qingzhou shook his head with some regret. He shouldn't have said that. Now he was being questioned.
"Who is that?" Shui Ran, as a mother now that her son has grown up, is very interested in this topic.
"You two actually know each other." Wen Qingzhou had no choice but to say another sentence.
"Lu Yishan? Doesn't your brother dislike her?" Shui Ran continued to guess.
"No." Wen Qingzhou denied.
"..."Wen Tingzhu on the opposite side was also curious!
"No? Your brother doesn't have many contacts with girls in private, so I may not know much about her. Whose girl is she?" Shui Ran didn't want to give up on her soon-to-be-revealed daughter-in-law.
"Mom, I can't tell you this. You should ask my brother!" Wen Qingzhou decided to keep his mouth shut. His brother had told him before that he must not say a word to anyone before he told his family that he liked boys.
"Qingzhou? You really don't want to tell me?" Shui Ran looked at her second son and said gently.
"I can't tell you, Mom. My brother will beat me to death." Wen Qingzhou said frankly.
"Is it so serious?" Shui Ran smiled.
"Well, Mom, please feel sorry for me!" Wen Qingzhou had no choice but to seek sympathy.
"Okay, I won't ask you anymore. I'll tell your brother that since you're in love, bring that person home this weekend. Your dad and I want to meet him or her." Shui Ran expressed her understanding.
"Don't worry, Mom, I will definitely convey it to you. I just hope you won't be too surprised when you meet him." Wen Qingzhou reminded him. He was really afraid that his parents would be deeply shocked to know that their son, who had been strictly raised since childhood and inherited the family business, liked men.
"Surprised?" Wen Tingzhu's eyes darkened, as if something flashed by.
…
After Wen Qingzhou returned, he immediately told his eldest brother what his mother had asked him to say, and then went back next door to find Ran Yu.
...After washing up, Wen Shuzhou hugged the child and started chatting.
"Ah Miao, do you have anything to do this weekend?"
"No, what's wrong?" Wen Miao asked casually.
"Come home with me, my parents want to see you." Wen Shuzhou half-raised himself and smiled at his little friend.
"Is it okay?" Wen Miaoyou became nervous when he heard about meeting his parents.
"Of course, I will take care of everything." Wen Shuzhou leaned over and kissed the child on the corner of his lips.
"Believe me."
"Okay." Wen Shuzhou's words inexplicably made Wen Miao feel at ease.
...On Friday afternoon, Wen Shuzhou took some time out to go home.
"Are you ready to show your cards, Young Master?" Uncle Wang asked Wen Shuzhou with a smile.
"Well, I still have to tell my parents about A Miao's matter in advance. I want my parents to have some peace of mind, but I don't want A Miao to be wronged!" There was no trace of mixed colors in Wen Shuzhou's eyes, which were dark and deep.
"Yes, communication is very important!" Uncle Wang agreed.
"Master, I am optimistic about you."
"There may be obstacles from my parents, but they will figure it out." Wen Shuzhou raised the corners of his lips and pushed his gold-rimmed glasses!
...In the living room of the Wen family’s old house.
"So you came back today just to talk about that child? To get the vaccination in advance?" Shui Ran completely understood Hao Daer's intention.
"Mom, you and Dad won't object, right?" Wen Shuzhou said expectantly.
"What do you think?" Wen Tingzhu asked slowly.
"Are your dad and I old-fashioned? The night before you came, your dad and I had already discussed it, and carefully thought over Qingzhou's words in combination with his expression. We found clues from them and guessed that the person was the boy named Wen Miao whom you brought home last time. Don't worry, your dad and I have already made the mental preparations! Besides, we called your uncle Wang last night. That kid has taken such good care of you in the past few months, we have to thank him. Can we refuse?" Shui Ran said with a loving smile.
"Mom, your reaction is beyond my expectation. But when I was little, you and Dad were always very strict with me, and you said a lot of things to revitalize the family. I thought it was you who were preventing me from liking boys. After all, it's unlikely for A Miao and I to have children." Having said this, Wen Shuzhou spoke directly.
"It's true that we want you to revitalize the Wen family, inherit the Wen family, and marry a daughter-in-law, but love is something that can't be forced. If you are unhappy, it will be a lifelong thing. Your father and I can't bear to see you like that. As for children, that's a matter for the future. With technology so advanced, who knows what miracles will appear!" Shui Ran said with a bright smile.
"Your mother is right. As the eldest son in the family, you endured a lot when you were young and lost a lot. We all saw it. Now that the Wen family is thriving, you don't need to restrain yourself anymore, especially in terms of feelings. You must find someone who likes each other, just like your mother and I. Even if we quarrel, we still care about each other and reflect on ourselves. Only in this way can we live a happy life." Wen Tingzhu patted his eldest son on the shoulder and said earnestly.
"Yes, Shuzhou, bring the person back as soon as possible. The New Year is coming soon and the family needs to be reunited." Shui Ran said with a clear gaze.
"Okay, Mom and Dad, I got it. I will bring the person back on Sunday." Wen Shuzhou said with relief.
On the way back, Wen Shuzhou's smile never faded. Uncle Wang understood and said something when he saw this.
"Master, your wish has come true. Congratulations!"
"Uncle Wang, today is a good day. Let's go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients, go home to have hotpot, and call Yan Feng along." Wen Shuzhou's overwhelmed happiness made him look like a twenty-year-old boy who couldn't help himself.
"Okay, okay, my eldest master, I'll do as you say, all is up to you." Uncle Wang heaved a sigh of relief. He had watched the eldest master grow up, and as long as the eldest master was happy, he would be happy.
Later, after Wen Qingzhou and Ran Yu learned about this, they had a drunken party with his brother, and ended up vomiting all night, which was really exhausting!
...In the blink of an eye, Sunday is here!
The sunlight shines through the sparse clouds and gently falls on the streets, adding a touch of extraordinary color to this ordinary day.
Wen Shuzhou held Wen Miao's hand, and both of them had nervous yet excited smiles on their faces. They walked step by step towards the familiar door of their home. For a moment, time seemed to freeze.
"Are you still nervous? Didn't you meet them last time? My parents are very nice people." Wen Shuzhou pinched the child's palm and looked at him.
"Yeah, I'm nervous. Although I met my uncle and aunt last time, the significance of my visit is different from this time, not to mention that we were just ordinary friends then." Wen Miao took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
"It's okay, I'm here!" Wen Shuzhou's eyes were full of encouragement and love.
"I know." Wen Miao gently shook Wen Shuzhou's hand back, with a faint smile on her lips.
"Let's go!"
"good."
The door opened, and Shui Ran's figure appeared before their eyes.
"Mom, why are you here?" There was a hint of surprise in Wen Shuzhou's eyes.
"I knew you were coming, so I came out to take a look. And now I just happened to catch you!" Shui Ran gave her son a look and said with a smile on her lips.
"Shuzhou, why are you standing there like an idiot? Why don't you bring the person in?"
"Hello, aunt." Wen Miao hurriedly greeted Shui Ran!
"Hey, good boy, come in!" Shui Ran's enthusiasm made the originally tense atmosphere instantly become warm.
"Mom, where's my dad?" Wen Shuzhou looked inside, but didn't see his father.
"Choosing wine in the wine cellar!" Shui Ran's eyes fell on her son and Wen Miao's intertwined hands, and she said to herself.
"It's true that children cannot be kept at home when they grow up!"
"Wen Miao, have some fruit." As soon as Shui Ran entered the room, she had someone bring a plate of assorted fruits.
"Okay, aunt." Wen Miao was somewhat reserved.
"Ah Miao, try it!" Wen Shuzhou forked a piece of Hami melon and put it to the child without thinking.
"Shuzhou, I'll do it myself." Looking at Shui Ran beside him, Wen Miao smiled awkwardly and took the small fork from Wen Shuzhou's hand.
"Eat it. It's not like you haven't been fed before." Wen Shuzhou pretended not to see it and refused to let go.
"This brat definitely did it on purpose." No one knows a child better than his mother. As soon as Shui Ran saw her eldest son's attitude, she knew what was going on, so she stood up and said.
"Shuzhou, you and Wen Miao sit and chat. I'll go to the kitchen to see if the food is ready."
"good."
…On the dining table, Shui Ran carefully prepared a rich meal, which was filled with fragrance. Everyone sat around, eating and chatting, and the atmosphere was harmonious and harmonious.
"Brother, don't just focus on eating, help A Miao add more dishes!" Wen Qingzhou, who just came back at mealtime, grinned.
"No, no, I can do it myself." Wen Miao said with a blushing face.
"No, you have added dishes to my brother's plate so many times. This time at my house, my brother has to return the favor." Wen Qingzhou said unyieldingly.
"Shuzhou, Qingzhou is right, you have to add more food, don't let Ah Miao go hungry!" After a few words, Shui Ran already called Wen Miao Ah Miao. To be honest, she recognized this child from the bottom of her heart.
"Shuzhou, take good care of A Miao." Wen Tingzhu also interjected and gave the fish meat with bones removed to Shui Ran.
"Okay." Wen Shuzhou added a four-happiness meatball to the child's bowl.
