The two wives were packing their things to mail when there was a knock on the door.
"Third, third sister-in-law, someone is looking for you outside. He says it's your uncle." Li Hongmei came over hurriedly and knocked on the door.
I was startled when I opened the door just now.
No one from her third brother's wife's family came to her wedding, so she wondered what had happened when they suddenly showed up.
"Uncle?!" Cheng Yunan saw clearly who was outside the gate and was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.
"Master... Uncle Ming, why didn't you call me in advance to let me know you were coming so that I could pick you up at the station." Cheng Yunan came over and looked at his master.
It has been nearly half a year since we separated. My master has become a little thinner. He took the train all the way here, and his face was full of fatigue.
Cheng Yunan was hurt.
Last night they had discussed leaving a day earlier and taking Lu Shiye to the county town to visit his master.
I didn't expect to meet you today, it's great.
"Are you tired? Are you hungry? Have you taken good care of yourself? Uncle, you are too willful. You are not in good health to begin with, and you are running so far by yourself. What if something happens on the way?"
As soon as Cheng Yunan saw his appearance, she knew he was exhausted.
This little old man always comes up with ideas that never come true.
Hu Tianming felt warm inside.
The little girl still likes to talk about him, but her words are all about him.
"I just received your letter and wanted to come and see you."
When Lu Shiye came out, he saw his wife still blocking the door, and opposite her stood an old man carrying a lot of bags.
Seeing his amiable smile, combined with his wife's excited expression, Lu Shiye determined the other person's identity.
To be honest, it felt like a new aunt meeting her father-in-law for the first time.
"Uncle, it's great that you're here. My wife misses you every day and is always worried about your health. Wife, please let me in first."
Lu Shiye came over to help carry the things. Cheng Yunan's eyes were slightly red as she took the initiative to support the old man.
"Third sister-in-law, this is..."
"Second sister-in-law, this is my uncle. He knew I was pregnant and came all the way from the city to see me!"
Li Hongmei wanted to ask, why didn't the in-laws come over, but instead asked an uncle to run a trip.
But she suppressed her curiosity and didn't ask.
"Uncle, please come in and sit down. I'll go get you a glass of water." Li Hongmei went to get you some water.
After pouring the water, Li Hongmei did not stay long, thinking that her in-laws were coming to visit, so she had to quickly call her father-in-law back to keep them company, and also had to send a message back to the town.
Li Hongmei just called out and went to notify them.
There were only Cheng Yunan and three others left at home, so she had no more concerns.
"Master, this is your disciple's son-in-law, Lu Shiye." He turned around and introduced Lu Shiye, "This is my master."
"Hello, Master. My name is Lu Shiye. I have always heard Nan Nan mention you. Thanks to you for always coming to take care of her and helping her, I have never had the time to visit you. It is a pity that you have made the hard trip. We are all very happy that you can come.
You chat with Nan Nan for a while. I'll make you some simple egg noodles. Eat and take a rest. When you wake up, we can chat again."
Lu Shiye also noticed that the old man was very tired from this trip.
Besides, the master and the disciple haven't seen each other for such a long time, so we have to give them some space.
Seeing Lu Shiye busying himself, Cheng Yunan said with a smile: "Master, how is it? I found a man myself and he caught your eye, right?"
Hu Tianming nodded in approval, "This son-in-law seems okay, but you can't be too relaxed. You have to tighten his skin occasionally.
If you are bullied, come to me and I will take care of it for you."
Just now, Hu Tianming took a good look at Lu Shiye. He didn't have Jun Wanyuan's cooking style. He took the initiative to cook in the kitchen. He was also a soldier. His character must be impeccable. It's just that he is a little ugly and not worthy of his own little apprentice.
"Master, I don't need to say that. My husband's family likes me very much. They dare not bully me!"
"Don't be so cocky. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been difficult. Even though they treat you well now, it's because you are outstanding and excellent. If, I say if, you hadn't saved her daughter-in-law at the beginning, would they have accepted you from the beginning?
So this person needs to get to know people over time.
You don't have your family to support you, but you have your master. I'm an old man with no other skills, but I can take care of your food and drink. You can take care of yourself in the future."
Cheng Yunan was grateful to the old man from the bottom of her heart. In her entire life, only the old man in front of her truly loved her and treated her like a daughter.
"Master, how about I become your concubine? Although being your disciple can also support you until the end of your life, I still want to have a father who loves me more!"
It’s not like Hu Tianming hadn’t thought about it, but he was afraid that Cheng Yunan would be offended if he brought it up.
Now that his apprentice had taken the initiative to bring it up, he was eager to try, extremely excited.
"Have you thought it through? Are you really going to be my concubine?" Hu Tianming smiled so much that two more wrinkles appeared on his face.
"What's so good about this? When I got married, I thought that if my biological father was like you, he would prepare such a rich dowry for me and then send me off to marry, right?
At that time I wanted to meet you, but unfortunately, I asked you to come because you were busy in the health center.
Since you came in person this time, I have to tell you what’s inside.”
Hu Tianming regretted so much that he wanted to slam his head on the table. He calculated that if he had acknowledged her as his daughter at that time, three days, five days... Oh my! How many days would he have missed as a father?
"Girl, come and tell me, has the baby in your belly been bothering you lately?"
Cheng Yunan: “…” This old man plays the role really well.
But she wasn't just talking, this matter had to be done according to the procedure.
I have to wait for my husband's family to come over and let them know that I have recognized my father.
After all, she was the only relative the old man had, and she and Lu Shiye had to take care of him and take care of him until the end of his life.
"No, no, my child is very well behaved. He enjoys eating everything. Look, my face is rosy and I have gained a lot of weight!"
Hu Tianming nodded. The little disciple was indeed a little fatter, but his belly...
"How long have you been pregnant?" Hu Tianming asked.
"It's been three months and seven or eight days, Master. Do you think my belly is growing too fast?" Cheng Yunan hasn't changed her name yet. She thinks that she hasn't followed the procedure yet, so she'd better not change her name and call him daddy, so as not to overexcite the old man.
Cheng Yunan had some vague suspicions recently, but was afraid that she had misdiagnosed the condition, so she decided to wait until she was assigned to the military unit and then go to the hospital for another checkup.
The hospital in their town is not advanced enough and does not have the equipment to detect it.
"Well, stretch out your hand and let me take a look at it for you first."
Cheng Yunan believed in his master and quickly reached out his hand.
Lu Shiye entered the house carrying a bowl of noodles. Seeing Hu Tianming checking his wife's pulse, he almost dropped the bowl in fright.
Cheng Yunan quickly smiled at him as a soothing gesture. Lu Shiye calmed himself down, brought the noodles to the table, and then sat quietly beside Cheng Yunan, staring at Hu Tianming's pulse-taking hand with a sharp gaze.
As soon as he saw that he had finished taking the pulse, he impatiently held Cheng Yunan's hand under the table.
