At five o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Zhinian went to the kindergarten to pick up little Tangyuan. As soon as he entered the house, Yun Jianguo picked up his eldest grandson with a smile and held him high.
"My eldest grandson is back!"
"grandfather!"
Little Tangyuan yelled happily. Yun Jianguo put his grandson down and sat on the ground with him to play with building blocks. Little Tangyuan pulled open his collar with sharp eyes and pointed at a long bloodstain on his neck and asked,
"Grandpa, what's wrong with your neck?"
Yun Jianguo laughed awkwardly and pulled up his collar.
"Grandpa accidentally fell, it's okay."
Gu Zhinian and Yunshuang were both changing clothes in their respective rooms. They were going to meet at the state-owned restaurant at six o'clock. Li Yuling was wearing a dark red patterned top and black pants. Her short hair was curled into small curls. Little Tangyuan ran over and praised her sweetly.
"Grandma is so beautiful."
Li Yuling smiled from ear to ear, squatted down, held the little glutinous rice ball in her arms and kissed it hard twice.
"Oh! My eldest grandson, your little mouth is so sweet. You are really grandma's darling."
Yun Jianguo snorted softly, "I've praised you before, but you never smiled at me."
Li Yuling stood up straight, rolled her eyes at him, and gave him a fake smile, "Ha!"
Yun Jianguo: “…” This woman is getting more and more irritable!
After Gu Zhinian and Yun Shuang finished packing, they came out of the house. Yun Muye opened the door from the outside.
"Are you ready? It's time to go."
"Alright! Let's go!"
Li Yuling waved her hand and the family went out together. Yun Jianguo sat in the passenger seat, while Li Yuling, Yun Shuang, and Gu Zhinian sat in the back seat holding little Tangyuan.
Little Tangyuan looked up curiously and asked,
"Mom, where are we going?"
Gu Zhinian tidied up his clothes.
"We're going out to eat with others. Little Tangyuan, be good and don't make any noise, okay?"
"Know."
Yun Shuang sat in the middle, her fingers stirring constantly, her heart seemed to be weighed down by a ball of cotton, her nervous heart was about to jump out, Gu Zhinian held her hand, it was icy cold,
"Yunshuang, what's wrong with you?"
Yun Shuang grabbed her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, I, I'm so nervous."
Gu Zhinian stretched out his arm and patted her back.
"Don't be nervous, it's no big deal. It's just a meeting. Maybe their family members are still nervous about you. Just be open-minded, take a deep breath, and relax."
Yunshuang took a deep breath and smiled shyly.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Gu Zhinian pursed his lips and smiled faintly.
At the entrance of the state-owned hotel, Shen Huaian was waiting here early. His parents, sister and brother-in-law were all waiting in the private room. Yun Muye parked the car, and Shen Huaian trotted over to open the car door.
"Uncle Yun, you're here."
Yun Jianguo squinted his eyes and looked at him. The young man was about 1.8 meters tall, with a fair face and big eyes. His figure and appearance were also very important, considering he was his grandson. He was quite polite, but was a little too thin.
Shen Huaian was uneasy, “Yun, Uncle Yun, please go upstairs, my parents are waiting for you in the private room upstairs.”
"Well, you lead the way."
"Okay, Uncle Yun, please follow me."
Yun Jianguo restored his usual cold expression, straightened his Zhongshan suit, and stepped into the house. Shen Huaian led the way in front, Li Yuling followed beside him, and Gu Zhinian and the other three juniors were at the end, holding the little glutinous rice balls.
Shen Huaian opened the door of the private room, and inside sat a middle-aged man and woman, a young man and woman, and a little boy about five years old.
Shen Huaian shouted to the middle-aged man and woman: "Dad! Mom! Yunshuang's family is here!"
Father and Mother Shen hurriedly stood up and faced the door with a smile. Mother Shen wore a pair of frameless glasses, a red cheongsam top, black pants, and black high heels. She looked like a standard cultured person.
Mr. Shen was wearing a white shirt and black trousers. He was thin and had a pair of glasses on his face. He looked like a gentleman.
Yun Jianguo smiled and walked forward to shake hands and greet Shen's father. He secretly looked at each other and frowned slightly. Why did this family all wear glasses? Not only Shen's father and mother wore glasses, but his sister also wore glasses. Only Shen Huaian didn't wear glasses.
What a cultured family! Will her daughter also wear glasses when she gets married? And will her grandson wear glasses in the future?
Yun Jianguo was thinking randomly in his mind, and sat down to drink tea hand in hand with Shen's father. On the other side, Shen's mother and Li Yuling also chatted enthusiastically. Shen's mother took Yun Shuang's hand,
"You must be Yunshuang, my good girl. You are so beautiful."
"Hello, Auntie Shen." Yun Shuang called out obediently, and Mother Shen patted her hands and took out a red envelope from her bag.
"Yunshuang, since this is our first meeting, I don't know what to buy you. Take this red envelope and buy whatever you like."
"Auntie, I..." Yun Shuang was at a loss, not knowing whether to accept it or not. She turned to look at Li Yuling. Li Yuling smiled and nodded, and Yun Shuang took the red envelope.
"Thank you, Auntie."
Mother Shen looked at Gu Zhinian again, "I wonder who this is..."
"My sister-in-law." Yun Shuang took Gu Zhinian's hand, "Auntie, she is my sister-in-law."
Gu Zhinian greeted politely, "Hello."
Mother Shen smiled and praised,
"Hello, Yunshuang, your sister-in-law is also very beautiful."
After everyone was seated, Mother Shen pointed to the young couple next to her and introduced them.
"This is my eldest daughter, Shen Ruo, that is my eldest son-in-law, and this is my little grandson, who just turned five this year."
Shen Ruo stood up and nodded slightly, "Hello Uncle Yun, Hello Aunt Yun."
"Hello." Li Yuling replied with a smile.
The parents of both sides began to praise each other. You praised my daughter for being beautiful, and I praised your son for being handsome. They complimented each other, and after a round of toasts, my sister, brother-in-law, and the Yun family became familiar with each other.
After the two children finished their meal, they ran to play. Shen Ruo and Gu Zhinian talked about their experience in raising children.
"My son has given me a lot of worry. When he was born, he cried every day and was sick every few days. He almost spent his whole life in the hospital. Now that he's grown up, he doesn't get sick as often."
Gu Zhinian had never raised a very young child, and had no common language with her. He just followed her words.
"Children are weak, but they will get better as they grow up."
"That's right!"
Yunshuang and Shen Huaian sat together, Shen Huaian took care of Yunshuang while she ate, and the two smiled at each other from time to time.
Shen's brother-in-law and Yun Muye chatted and drank, and they had a great time.
On the other side, Li Yuling and Shen's mother were also holding hands and talking.
"I like Yunshuang very much. Our two families are gathered together today because of these two children. Can you guys decide on a date for the two children first?"
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent. Li Yuling was still hesitating, and Yun Jianguo also remained silent.
"I wonder where Huai'an will settle in the future?"
Shen Huaian put down his chopsticks and stood straight.
"I'm fine with it. We'll go wherever Yunshuang wants to settle down."
Father Shen pursed his lips and nodded, "Well, in the end, you two will live your life alone."
