Chapter 178 She actually has this kind of hobby!!!
Xiao Ran had just arranged a time to meet with Liu Min in the afternoon, and had only been on his phone for a few minutes when it rang again.
The caller ID displayed three large characters: Mother-in-law!
Xiao Ran's brow twitched.
We just met yesterday, why are you calling me today?
Despite his thoughts, Xiao Ran hurriedly put the phone to his ear and answered it.
"Hello, Mom."
"Hey Xiao Ran, your dad and I have discussed it and we're free these days. When do you and Xi Ci have some free time? We'd like to come over and visit you."
Mother Yan's tone was very kind.
Actually, she was simply worried about their current living conditions.
Xiao Ran smiled.
"If you and Dad are coming, we're definitely available anytime!"
"You can decide the time, whenever you want. As for us, we'll definitely do our best to cooperate!"
His words were spoken with great sincerity.
After all, it's perfectly normal for people to care about their daughter's living environment.
Upon hearing this, Yan's mother on the other end of the phone thought for a moment.
To be honest, I was definitely thinking the sooner the better.
When are you free these next couple of days?
Since they were all family, she didn't stand on ceremony with Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran quickly calculated his schedule in his mind before saying, "Okay, tomorrow then. I'll pick you up tomorrow afternoon."
Upon hearing this, Yan's mother on the other end of the phone hurriedly said, "Don't worry about such trouble. Your father and I will just take a taxi. Isn't Didi very convenient now?"
For Yan's mother, making such a request already felt like she was causing Xiao Ruofan a lot of trouble.
I would feel really bad if I asked him to pick me up again.
"What are you saying, Mom? If you're coming, I have to pick you up myself. No Didi driver is as trustworthy as family. Besides, we can chat on the way. Dad rarely goes out, and he'd really be worried if I wasn't there with him!"
Xiao Ran knew that Yan's father had a bad leg, and it was always a hassle for him to go out.
If it were another driver, they might actually find the elderly person troublesome.
It's better to go by yourself; it only takes an hour round trip anyway.
Hearing Xiao Ran say this, Yan Ma's eyes were filled with indescribable emotion. As expected, Xiao Ran knew how to care for people.
He truly cared for himself and his wife as if they were his own parents.
A sense of relief welled up inside me.
Fortunately, Yan Xici left Xiao Ran in the Yan family.
Otherwise, it wouldn't just be a matter of losing a son-in-law; it would be a complete loss of a son!
"If your dad heard you say that, he'd be so touched he'd die!" Aunt Yan chuckled.
Both of her daughters combined are not as caring as Xiao Ran.
She knows how to make the elderly happy!
Xiao Ran laughed along with him.
"Okay, Mom, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. I still have some work to finish."
"Okay, you go ahead with your work, we'll talk about it tomorrow!"
After finishing her sentence, Yan's mother hung up the phone with a smile.
After thinking for a moment, she went to the cupboard and took out all the local specialties that her younger sister had sent her a few days ago.
It's all cured meat and stuff like that. Xiao Ran's mom is from Chongqing, so he'll definitely love these!
Give them all to him!
Oh, and I'll also bring him some of the salted fermented soybean paste I make next time!
Also, the two of them just moved into a new house, so there must still be formaldehyde in the house. Their own pothos plants are doing very well, so they brought some for Xiao Ran as well!
Watching Yan's mother busy herself for a while, Yan's father, in his wheelchair, couldn't help but complain.
"This is outrageous! They even brought pothos plants!"
Young people don't care!
Aunt Yan wasn't annoyed; she just chuckled.
"What do you know? Do you think I'm not happy about it? If Xiao Ran were willing, I'd love for them to come back and live here after they get married!"
After saying that, he started tidying up again.
Yan's father pursed his lips. In fact, he had overheard what Xiao Ran and Yan's mother had just said.
To be honest, although I thought Xiao Ran was a good person before, this is the first time I've ever truly felt like he was my own son.
He came up with a bold idea.
That is, he wants to pass on the Yan family's heirloom to Xiao Ran!
Don't let the Yan family's current decline fool you; their ancestors were once very powerful.
They even left behind a pen that has been passed down through generations.
In fact, he had been hesitating between Yan Li and Yan Xici the whole time.
But now, he feels that giving it to them is not as good as giving it to Xiao Ran!
He looked at Yan Ma with a serious expression, "Old woman, go and get that calligraphy brush."
Upon hearing this, Yan's mother put down the potted plant in her hand, her expression turning somewhat unpleasant. "Looking at it again? Or are you blaming me for not giving you a son?"
She knew how precious the pen was in Yan's family, and she also knew their family's long-standing rule of passing it down to sons, not daughters. But she had two daughters, and she felt helpless about it.
If given a choice, who wouldn't want to be paired up with someone special?
"No, you misunderstood. What I meant was, send it to Xiao Ran!"
Yan's father spoke seriously, and his eyes were even more so.
Xiao Ran is really good to me; he treats me like his own father!
He is also his own family's son-in-law.
Both books have now been adapted.
This sum of money is perfectly suited to him.
Upon hearing this, Yan's mother's face showed indescribable surprise.
The old man knew all too well how much he treasured this pen; he hadn't even given it to his two daughters, but had given it to his son-in-law, which was enough to show how much he liked Xiao Ran.
