Early the next morning.
Aunt Chen and Chen Zhizhi prepared a sumptuous breakfast.
Chen Zhizhi has rarely cooked in recent years, but she wanted her daughter to taste her cooking skills, so she got up early this morning and made her best seafood porridge.
Lin Xuqiu's posture became much more casual.
Her delicate face was not made up, her eyes were bright and charming, her lips were rosy, her fair and flawless skin was faintly pink, her hair was casually tied up, and a few strands of hair hung down, adding a bit of seductive charm.
Lin Cheng couldn't help but stare in amazement. It was the first time he saw such a perfect combination of coquettishness and purity in a woman, but he quickly looked away and focused on eating his porridge.
Lin Xuqiu scooped a spoonful of seafood porridge into his mouth, his eyes lit up, he raised a faint smile and praised.
“This porridge is delicious.”
Chen Zhizhi looked at her lovingly and spoke gently.
"If it tastes good, eat more. I've written a recipe and prepared the ingredients. When you bring it home, you can ask the nanny to make it for you."
Lin Zhidong then smiled.
"Xuqiu, this is your mother's signature seafood porridge. She hasn't cooked in years. I wanted to eat her seafood porridge, but no matter how much I begged, she refused to make it for me. I only got to eat it thanks to you."
Chen Zhizhi smiled and glared at her husband.
A warm feeling rose in Lin Xuqiu's heart, and a sweet smile appeared on his face.
"Mom is such a good cook."
After breakfast, the family set off for their grandparents’ house.
The villa where my grandparents live is simply decorated and has a very large yard with green grass, lush fruits and vegetables, and a fish pond.
Lin Xuqiu felt as if she was in a farm stay. This place is really suitable for leisure, vacation and retirement.
Her grandparents were still very welcoming and invited her into the house, where the family chatted for a long time.
Then the whole family went to the seafood shop and packed a bunch of seafood for Lin Xuqiu.
What Lin Xuqiu didn't expect was that his grandfather's seafood shop was quite large, and it had opened several branches in City F. It sold a variety of top-quality abalone and seafood, as well as affordable seafood, and its business was very good.
Grandpa and grandma would occasionally come to the store to inspect, and Lin Cheng was basically in charge of other matters.
The employees in the store are wearing uniform and are in high spirits.
The grandfather was very interested in introducing the names of various seafood to his granddaughter, and also vividly described how he made his fortune and various glorious deeds.
The grandfather looked at his granddaughter's admiring face, his vanity overflowing, and he became more and more excited as he spoke.
Seeing that her husband was talking endlessly, grandma interrupted him.
"Alright, you keep talking about these things over and over again, and you'd catch every ant that passed by and start talking about it. Xu Qiu just gave you a few polite compliments, and you're so proud of yourself, aren't you?"
"Nonsense! Didn't you see Xu Qiu's admiration? She's very interested in my deeds."
"Yeah, it's the first time I heard it, and I thought it was quite interesting. Grandpa and grandma, you are all so great."
Grandpa raised his chin proudly, his face full of pride.
But not long after, he suddenly sighed and said regretfully.
"Alas, it's a pity that your father refused to inherit my legacy and insisted on starting his own business, opening a toy company..."
"Dad, why are you bringing up these old things? Don't you have Ah Cheng to help you now?"
"How dare you say that? Ah Cheng has to take care of both the toy company and the seafood shop all by himself. He's busy as a top all day long, and he's still single at the age of 30."
Lin Cheng sighed in his heart. He knew that his grandfather and father would talk about him during their conversation. He watched quietly as the father and son performed a duet.
Grandma said with a sad face.
"Ah Cheng, you're not a child anymore. It's time for you to get married. Your grandfather and I still have the energy to help you take care of the children."
"Grandma, I'm only 30, the golden age for men. It's not too late to get married at 40. I'll have a nanny to take care of the children in the future, so why would I need to trouble you?"
Grandpa was a little displeased and patted the armrest of the chair.
"When I was your age, your father was already working as a waiter, and your sister, who is so much younger than you, was already married. You still have the nerve to say that forty is not too late."
Lin Xuqiu was suddenly mentioned, and complained in her heart: She didn't want to get married early, she had no choice at that time. If she had her own choice, she would definitely be a late marriage person.
Lin Cheng was a strong man, and he had long since turned a deaf ear to the elders' urging to get married, without any ripples in his heart.
When everyone thought that the marriage-urging phase had reached a dead end.
Grandma suddenly took out a few photos she had prepared and handed them to everyone.
"Acheng, do you still remember her?"
"This is the Yu family's granddaughter, Yu Miaomiao. She's very well-behaved and pretty. She just came back from abroad and came to visit me and your grandfather the day before yesterday. She's very sensible."
Lin Xuqiu looked at the photo in her mother's hand. The woman in the photo had a gentle face and a faint smile. She was the kind of look that elders would like.
Chen Zhizhi knew Yu Miaomiao. She and Lin Cheng were childhood sweethearts. They went to the same school from elementary school to high school. Later, the Yu family immigrated overseas and the two families had little contact.
But she didn't have a very good impression of Yu Miaomiao. She only knew that this girl was very naughty, had short hair, was friends with a group of boys all day long, and was often kept after school by the teacher and her parents were asked to come to the school.
Therefore, she maintained a neutral attitude on this matter, neither urging nor opposing.
Lin Cheng frowned slightly and said helplessly.
"Don't be fooled by her looks. I've known her for so many years, how could I not understand her? She's just a tomboy. We get along like brothers. What's the difference between being with her and being gay?"
Grandma strongly disagreed with her grandson's statement. She hadn't seen him for so many years, so how could he bring up things from the past?
