Chapter 265: Visit and Talk
Zhang Baiyan smiled and said, "Uncle, no need. My parents don't care about these things. Besides, they know that you are here to find their daughter, not to visit them on purpose."
"That won't work!" Yu's father said stubbornly.
Finally, there was no other choice, so Zhang Baiyan parked the car and took them out for a walk in the supermarket. In the end, Yu's father bought a gift bag of instant bird's nest and a can of milk.
The group arrived at the Zhang family’s door.
Father Yu unconsciously became nervous. This community was inhabited by wealthy families. The Zhang family even had a luxury car, so they were probably even richer. Their family's conditions were considered good in their hometown, but there was really no comparison with the Zhang family. The more this happened, the more insecure Father Yu felt. However, he did not show any fear.
Zhang Baiyan opened the door and invited them in first.
As soon as the Yu family father and son entered the house and saw the interior decoration, they became even more unsure.
Zhang's father was making tea. When he saw someone coming, he stood up and greeted them, "Welcome, welcome. Come in quickly. You don't need to change your shoes. The floor hasn't been washed yet!"
Father Yu quickly handed the things in his hand to Father Zhang and said apologetically: "I'm so sorry to trouble you so much during the New Year!"
Father Zhang said with a straight face and pretended to be angry: "What are you talking about! We welcome Yunfei to come and play! How can it be troublesome? Come on, come on, make some tea and have a good rest. You must be tired after a whole day's journey."
Father Yu and Yu Zhi felt a little tired after they sat down, but they shook their heads and said, "It's not bad. We took a plane and Bai Yan went to pick us up, so we're not that tired."
Zhang's mother brought over a few plates of fruit from the kitchen and said with a smile, "Eat some fruit first to fill your stomach. We'll have dinner soon. You can have a couple of drinks."
When Father Yu heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "It's too much trouble."
"How could that be! There are a lot of red wines at home that were given by others. Usually the children are not around and no one drinks with me. It's boring for me to drink it alone, so just put them aside. We'll have a good drink later!" Zhang's father laughed.
After they drank a few cups of tea, Zhang's father and Zhang Boyan asked, "Call your sisters and ask if they will be back at noon."
Upon hearing this, Yu's father immediately pricked up his ears to listen.
Zhang Baiyan called as he was told. As soon as the call was connected, he heard playful laughter coming from the other end. Zhang Wanwan asked in a hoarse voice, "Brother! What's up?"
Zhang Baiyan smiled helplessly and said, "Dad asked me to ask you if you guys want to come back for lunch today?"
Zhang Wanwan complained mercilessly, "Brother, you are out of your mind! It's already eleven o'clock now. Are we going to starve to death if we go back? You guys can eat by yourselves. Auntie said that we should grill fish, roast sweet potatoes and strawberries for lunch, and prepare a big meal for us in the evening. We will sleep in the villa tonight and will not go back. You can have fun by yourself. We will talk about it after we have had enough fun. Bye!"
Zhang Baiyan was speechless. He didn't even have a chance to say a few words. He looked at the others silently and said with a wry smile, "Crazy girl! They said they're staying at the villa tonight and won't be back. How about I take uncle and Xiaozhi over there after we finish dinner? Mom and Dad, do you want to come along? I heard that aunt is going to cook a big meal for them tonight."
When Zhang's father heard this, he clapped his hands and said, "We must go. It's much more fun there than at home, and I have nothing to do."
Zhang Baiyan's mouth twitched, and he stared at him with half-closed eyes, "Dad, don't you need to ship the goods?"
Father Zhang slapped him and said unhappily, "Don't you see what time it is today? The courier has already closed, but they are still delivering the goods! Are you going to deliver it to me?"
Zhang Baiyan's momentum immediately weakened, and he quietly retreated to the kitchen to help Zhang's mother.
Father Yu looked at the handsome and dignified Zhang Baiyan and asked curiously, "How old is Baiyan? Is he still studying?"
Father Zhang shook his head. "This child graduated from Beijing University of Political Science and Law this year and went to work in a law firm in Beijing. Now he is a serious lawyer. I heard that he even opened a company with his classmates. The child said that there is more room for development in big cities, so he doesn't plan to come back. I wanted to buy him a house in Beijing, but he didn't want to. He said he wanted to buy it himself and that he could have a house before getting married. Now he has bought a car there. Once the house issue is settled, everything will be stable. We don't care about the children's affairs. We can't control them even if we want to. So I told them both.
If you can't make it out there, just come back. Things are no worse here. We have houses and cars ready for you. We have several stores and our own business. If things don't work out, you can just follow in your father's footsteps and live comfortably."
Zhang's father's words revealed a lot of information. First, they told Yu's father that Zhang Boyan was a top student from a prestigious university, a lawyer, and had a business mind. He was definitely a rich son-in-law. Second, they let them know that the Zhang family was not badly off and was a small wealthy family. Third, they showed that they were open-minded elders and would not interfere in their children's affairs.
Upon hearing this, Yu's father's heart was in turmoil. Having seen the conditions of the Zhang family with his own eyes, he naturally believed what Zhang's father said. After interacting with Zhang's father and mother, he also knew that they were good-tempered people. But the more this was the case, the more cautious he had to be. After all, Pu City was so far away from them. If Yu Yunfei really married here, she might not be able to see him for a year.
After thinking it over, Yu's father agreed, "Yes, children have their own ideas when they grow up. They may not listen to what adults want. This time it's the child's mother. Forget it. Let's not talk about that. Your child is really promising. I won't talk about Bai Yan. I heard that your daughter is also very capable. Yun Fei said that one of her roommates was on the news before. Is it your daughter?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhang's father was proud when he talked about this, and he took out a pile of newspapers and magazines from under the table, "Look, these are all reports about her, I bought them all."
After taking a quick look, Father Yu became even more envious of Father and Mother Zhang for raising such a pair of good children.
Mother Zhang prepared everything and said to everyone, "It's time to eat. Come quickly. We have to go to the countryside later!"
The three of them then stood up.
After the Yu family father and son sat down, Zhang's mother said, "We have more seafood here, and I don't know if you can get used to it, so I prepared some sweet and sour spare ribs and grilled lamb chops. Eat them while they're hot."
When Yu Zhi saw the crabs, fish and shrimps, his mouth almost watered. There were people selling seafood there, but because they were inland, the seafood shipped there was all frozen. Not only were there few varieties, but it was also very expensive. They didn't eat it often. It was a rare opportunity to eat fresh seafood. Yu Zhi couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks and eat a shrimp. His eyes lit up and he praised repeatedly, "It's delicious! This shrimp is sweet!"
