Chapter 697 Wan Chun's Mother Has Arrived
Du Wanchun picked up a piece of sweet lotus root with her chopsticks. It tasted good. "Delicious."
When Zhou Ruiyuan saw her smile, he smiled along with her.
Du Wanchun picked up a piece of braised pork and handed it to him to try.
He took a bite and thought it was a bit too salty. "It's not good."
Du Wanchun quickly replied, "It's delicious. Everything you make is delicious."
Zhou Ruiyuan was overjoyed. "Then I'll make it for you when we get home!"
Du Wanchun smiled gently, "Don't you dare steal the jobs from Granny Zhuang and Eunuch Zhang."
Zhou Ruiyuan lowered his sleeves. "They do their thing, I'll do mine."
Du Wanchun suddenly realized that the older he got, the more childlike he became, but this childlike quality could warm people's hearts.
The two spent much more time in Changliu Village than in the capital.
No worries, just the two of them, enjoying three meals a day and all four seasons.
In summer, head to Qingshan to escape the heat; in winter, come to Xishan to soak in hot springs.
Before they knew it, five years had passed.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, Yi'er and Yu'er, who were far away in the capital, returned home.
The two of them were each holding a baby in their arms.
The two babies were born in the same year, both are boys, and look very similar. If you didn't know better, you would think they were brothers.
Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan inadvertently became a grandmother and grandfather.
Zhang Qiuhe and Wang Qiu often teased them for becoming grandparents at such a young age.
Of course, Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan didn't mind these things. They were happy to be free and at ease. When they saw the two little babies, they felt very sorry for them and each held one of them and wouldn't let go.
The two brothers, Yi'er and Yu'er, still have the same relationship as before. The family is gathered together waiting for the banquet to begin, and Fei Fei clings to his two older brothers and won't let go.
Aunt Zhou peeked into the doorway and, seeing that it was still open, asked Du Wanchun, "Wanchun, are there any guests today?"
Du Wanchun smiled and said, "Yes, there is more."
Mianmian and Qing'er arrived early and were talking with Zhou Feng and Zhou Zhao's family in the backyard.
Aunt Zhou looked back at the people in the room again, "Wanchun, is there any distinguished guest who hasn't arrived for today's Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet?"
Du Wanchun stood up, looked at the bright moon hanging high outside, and smiled, "My father and my mother."
"Your father and your mother?" Aunt Zhou exclaimed in surprise. "I remember your mother passed away a long time ago, and your father has disappeared without a trace."
Du Wanchun did not want to reveal her background. Instead, she explained in a different way: "I am not actually Du Dajiang's biological daughter. I was separated from my parents when I was young and was adopted by the Du family."
Aunt Zhou suddenly realized, "No wonder the Du family treated you so badly."
Du Wanchun did not explain, which can be taken as tacit agreement with what Aunt Zhou said, "My biological parents have been looking for me all these years. About five years ago, they found out about us in the capital. This is the first time they have come to our house."
"There's more to this than that!" Aunt Zhou looked toward the door, somewhat excited. "I've never met your biological parents before, and I haven't prepared anything for their sudden visit."
Du Wanchun helped her up and smiled, "Mother, my parents are very easygoing, there's no need to prepare anything."
"Who knows, they might have something else planned."
As she spoke, she looked up at the doorway.
A cool breeze blew in from outside the door, rustling the leaves in the yard.
On a path not far from the Zhou family's residence.
A woman dressed in a pale yellow ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) led a tall, handsome man toward the Zhou family's residence.
"Sanyuan, hurry up, hurry up."
"It's just ahead, we're almost there."
"July, don't rush, be careful they don't see us." The man smiled at her, "Won't we scare that family if we go like this?"
The woman stopped, thought for a moment, then turned around and transformed into a woman in her fifties.
How about this?
The man smiled and nodded, and in a flash, he transformed into an old man in his fifties.
How about this?
The woman covered her mouth and laughed, "Very good, very good. I never expected that the Three Elders would look like this after they've aged."
The man became serious and asked, "Isn't it ugly?"
The woman quickly shook her head, "Not ugly, not ugly, let's go."
After she finished speaking, she pulled him toward the Zhou family's house.
