"Uncle Gao, Aunt Gao, when did Xinlan get a boyfriend? How come my parents don't know anything about it?"
Wan Hongwei spoke to Gao's father and mother with a tone of obvious dissatisfaction and sarcasm.
His implication was very clear. Since Gao Xinlan already had a boyfriend, why did Gao's parents agree to match him up with Gao Xinlan? Didn't they want Gao Xinlan to have two relationships at the same time?
After Wan Hongwei finished speaking, Gao's father shifted his gaze to Wan Hongwei with an apologetic look on his face.
Gao's mother had a confused expression on her face.
"Does Xinlan have a boyfriend?"
Gao's mother looked at her husband with questioning eyes.
Lu Feng looked at Gao's mother and smiled, then spoke humbly and gently, "Aunt, I am Xinlan's boyfriend."
After learning that Lu Feng was her daughter's boyfriend, Gao's mother subconsciously felt happy.
As a mother, she naturally hopes that her daughter can find a handsome, responsible and wealthy husband. Comparing Lu Feng with Wan Hongwei, Lu Feng is more handsome and taller than Wan Hongwei, more humble and polite than Wan Hongwei, and he sells Wushan Yunwu Spring Tea. He seems to be much richer than the Wan family. Even a fool would know who to choose as a son-in-law.
"Xinlan, what's going on?"
Gao's mother was really happy, but in order to give face to Wan Hongwei, she still asked her daughter with a serious face.
Gao Xinlan held Lu Feng's hand in front of Gao's mother and solemnly introduced him: "Mom, I like Big Brother Lu Feng and want to be with Big Brother Lu Feng. I hope you and Dad will help us."
"Aunt, I will treat Xinlan well."
Lu Feng repeated to Gao's mother what he had just said to Gao's father outside.
"Aunt, I'm not trying to show off how successful I am in my career in front of you and Uncle Gao. I want to tell you that I have some family background. If Xinlan marries me, she will definitely not have to eat coarse food. Besides, my parents died early, and my brothers and sisters-in-law are not close to me. If Xinlan marries me, she won't have to deal with conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, or sisters-in-law."
Gao Xinlan couldn't help blushing and her heart beating fast when she heard him keep saying "marry".
They are just pretending to be a couple, why are they talking about marriage, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and sisters-in-law?
Gao's mother was already very satisfied with Lu Feng from the bottom of her heart, and Lu Feng was very sincere, so she was already very happy.
Lu's father and mother have passed away, and the young man is not close to his brother, sister-in-law and sister. When Xinlan gets married in the future, it means that the Gao family will have one more son.
The couple had no son and had long wished to have one.
"Hongwei, your uncle Gao and I only found out today that Xinlan has a boyfriend. We were wrong to match you up with Xinlan before we knew about it."
Hearing this, Gao Xinlan felt secretly happy.
What my mother said to Wan Hongwei was tantamount to acknowledging Brother Lu's identity.
She finally didn't have to be bothered by Wan Hongwei anymore.
"Hongwei, please go back and explain this to your parents."
Gao's father also felt that this matter was a bit unfair to the Wan family. As an elder, he apologized to Wan Hongwei with an apologetic look on his face.
"You and Xinlan have known each other since childhood. Even if you can't be husband and wife, you can still be friends and siblings. We have also been close friends with your parents for many years. I hope this incident won't hurt the relationship between our two families."
Wan Hongwei felt humiliated and didn't appreciate Gao's parents' kindness. He completely ignored the fact that it was his parents who proposed to match him up with Gao Xinlan, and Gao's parents agreed.
"I suddenly remembered that I have some things to do at work. Uncle Gao and Aunt Gao, I won't eat lunch."
Without waiting for Gao's father and mother to respond, Wan Hongwei turned around and left with a cold face.
Gao's father chased him out to see him off, but he didn't even look back.
"Mother, I think Hongwei is angry."
After sending Wan Hongwei off, Gao's father went to the kitchen to help Gao's mother. He sighed repeatedly while talking to Gao's mother, fearing that today's incident would hurt the relationship between the Gao and Wan families.
Gao's mother listened to him chattering beside her and sighing from time to time, but her expression did not change at all, and she processed the ingredients on the chopping board in an orderly manner.
Father Gao talked for a long time, feeling that he was performing a monologue, and said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, you old woman, I have been talking for a long time, why don't you say anything at all?"
Only then did Gao's mother turn around and look at her husband.
"We only have one daughter. What can we do if Hongwei is angry? Besides, this isn't entirely our fault. It was the Wan couple who suggested bringing Xinlan and Hongwei together. In today's society, free love is important. There's nothing wrong with Xinlan having a boyfriend. Besides, Lu Feng is a handsome and virtuous man. Why should we sigh and be sad because of this? If the Wan couple breaks off their friendship with our family because of this, there's nothing to be proud of with such a fragile relationship."
"Good morning, dear listeners..."
A very pleasant female voice came into the kitchen, interrupting the conversation between Gao's father and mother.
After listening carefully for a few seconds, Gao's mother asked Gao's father, "Isn't your radio broken?"
"Yeah, how come I can listen to it again?"
Gao's father and mother walked out of the kitchen one after another with confusion. When they looked into the living room, they saw Lu Feng, Gao Xinlan and the two children standing next to the table where the radio was placed. Lu Feng was holding a screwdriver in his hand.
Father Gao was ecstatic to confirm that his beloved radio could receive the radio again.
"Xiao Lu, did you repair this radio?"
Lu Feng heard footsteps behind him and turned around and nodded modestly to Gao's father and mother who were walking towards him.
"When I was in Yucheng before, I helped others repair radios. When Xinlan told me that your radio was broken, I tried to fix it. I didn't expect that I could actually fix it."
"Xiao Lu, you are really amazing."
Father Gao walked up to Lu Feng, acting like an elder, and patted Lu Feng on the shoulder with a smile on his face.
Seeing that there wasn't even a cup of tea on the coffee table, Father Gao glared at his daughter and said in a reproachful tone, "Xinlan, you're so naive. Xiao Lu came all the way to our house, he must be thirsty. Go make him a cup of tea. Oh, and use the Wushan Yunwu Spring Tea that Xiao Lu brought with him."
"Uncle Gao, please don't blame Xinlan. I'm not thirsty, really not at all. I gave you the Wushan Yunwu Spring Tea as a token of my filial piety."
"Xiao Lu, Xinlan is an only child, and your aunt and I have spoiled her rotten. Since you and Xinlan are in a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, you should be more tolerant."
Before Lu Feng could say anything, Father Gao turned around and strode towards the kitchen.
"Xiao Lu, if you need anything, just tell Xinlan. Don't be shy. I'll go back to the kitchen and stew that salted pork leg."
"Lao Gao, we still have sausages at home. Xiao Lu is from Yucheng, so I'm afraid he hasn't tasted sausages from Xiushui County yet. Take those sausages, wash them, and steam some on the rice."
Lu Feng was a little overwhelmed by the sudden enthusiasm of Mr. and Mrs. Gao.
