Chapter 245 Changing Surname
After staying with Li Wensong for more than an hour, Ai Xiaoxia returned to An Ning.
Seeing Ai Xiaoxia coming back, An Ning asked worriedly, "You've been out for so long. Your brother is worried and has been out to check on you several times."
Ai Xiaoxia smiled and pulled An Ning, saying, "Sister An Ning, I'm an adult now, what could possibly happen to me? Where's my brother?"
Lin Rui came in from outside: "I'm going to the phone booth to call home and ask if you've returned. I brought you out here. If I can't find you when I go back, won't Mom eat me up?"
Ai Xiaoxia smiled. "Brother, I'm married. I'm an adult. How could I get lost? I was just walking around. Three men can't match my skills. If they want to rob me, they'd have to be good enough. You don't have to worry about me. Tell me, when are you planning to meet my parents?"
Lin Rui scratched his head and looked at An Ning: "I have to listen to An Ning about this."
What Ai Xiaoxia and Lin Rui didn't expect was that An Ning replied, "Since our relationship is confirmed, I should naturally go home to visit my uncle and aunt as soon as possible."
Ai Xiaoxia looked at Lin Rui happily and said, "Brother, how about we take Sister An Ning home right now?"
An Ning quickly waved her hand: "Not today, I haven't changed into formal clothes, and I haven't prepared any gifts. It's too abrupt."
Lin Rui said to Ai Xiaoxia, "Silly girl, if I want to meet the parents, I should go to visit An Ning's parents first. The man has to take the initiative first, otherwise what will people think?"
Ai Xiaoxia really had no experience in this area, so she nodded after listening and said, "Second brother, what you said makes sense. Then let's get ready when we get home today, and you should go and meet your future father-in-law and mother-in-law early."
An Ning looked at Ai Xiaoxia and smiled, "You really have a quick temper, but Lin Rui meets all my family's requirements for a son-in-law. My parents should like him."
Ai Xiaoxia looked at Lin Rui with a smile: "Second brother, your bumpy love journey has become smoother and will take off directly."
Lin Rui knocked his sister's head and said, "You're the only one who talks too much."
After chatting and laughing for a while, An Ning asked Ai Xiaoxia to help look at the layout of the gallery. She was very confident in Ai Xiaoxia's aesthetic taste and vision.
It was not until after four o'clock that Ai Xiaoxia and Lin Rui came out of An Ning's place and went home.
When they got home, Huang Wanxia was cooking. When she heard the two of them coming back, she quickly ran out: "I only realized it after you left. Did you go to see the girl Xiao Rui likes?"
Ai Xiaoxia looked at her mother's gossipy face and couldn't help laughing. "Mom, how come you're even more gossipy than me? But you guessed right, we did go to meet my future sister-in-law. Thanks to my efforts, they established a relationship today. Mom, your second daughter-in-law is in the cards."
Huang Wanxia wiped her hands and said to Lin Rui, "Hurry up and take off your cotton-padded jacket and help me watch the pot." Then she pulled Ai Xiaoxia to sit on the sofa and said, "Tell mom quickly, how is the girl?"
Lin Rui took off his coat and changed his shoes, then hurried to the kitchen to help with the cooking. He was a little confused. Whose fault was it? The person involved was immediately sent to the kitchen...
Ai Xiaoxia sat on the sofa and talked to Huang Wanxia about An Ning. Ai Xiaoxia found that her mother was really fun and had a young heart.
Huang Wanxia was very happy to hear what Ai Xiaoxia said: "An Ning, this name is nice. She is as quiet as her name. She comes from a good family and has a good personality. Such a good girl is a good gift for your second brother."
When Ai Xiaoxia heard the last sentence, she burst out laughing: "Mom, my second brother is also very good. He is handsome, has a good personality, and is good at work. My second brother deserves a good love."
"You and your second brother are close, and you always say good things about him. Your second brother is heartless. I used to worry about what he would do in the future, but now I feel relieved. Foolish people have their own luck, unlike your eldest brother, who has a lot of worries."
"Mom, my eldest brother has his own ideas. He is smart and will live well."
"Your eldest brother and your eldest sister-in-law are in a free relationship. Our family has always been democratic, so we support it. However, your eldest sister-in-law has a lot of worries, and her family has a lot of problems. Your eldest brother will inevitably suffer as a result. But that was his own choice. We analyzed the pros and cons with him at the time, and he felt that he could accept it, so he will have to bear these consequences himself in the future."
Ai Xiaoxia listened to Huang Wanxia's words and truly admired her parents, because in this day and age, it is really hard to find such open-minded parents.
In fact, she still doesn't know her sister-in-law Wang Lijuan very well. She had a bad impression of her at the beginning, but later they just got along just fine. There was nothing special about it because they didn't talk in depth during the conversations and just kept to the point. It's really hard to comment on it, but she can't get close to her. This feeling is a bit subtle.
"Mom, we are all big brother's solid backing. If he needs help, we have so many of you to rely on. It's okay."
"You are a more mature sister than their two brothers. These two boys are lucky to have such a good sister like you. Mom is also lucky to have a caring little cotton-padded jacket like you."
While the two were talking, Lin Jianye also came back. Their workplace was close to home, so he could get home quickly. He was very happy to see Ai Xiaoxia back: "Xiaoxia, you haven't been home for a few days, right? Come back for dinner when you have nothing to do. This way you don't have to cook for yourself."
Ai Xiaoxia smiled and called Dad, then said, "I know, Dad. I have something good to tell you. My second brother has a girlfriend, a really nice girl."
Lin Jianye looked surprised: "When did this happen? Was it a nurse from their unit?"
Huang Wanxia was full of pride: "Your son is very promising. He found a painter. From now on, we will have another daughter-in-law who is an artist."
Lin Jianye was even more surprised: "This kid is quite capable! I thought he would die alone, but I didn't expect this move to be so surprising."
Ai Xiaoxia couldn't help laughing when she heard what her parents said: "Mom and Dad, you underestimate my second brother. I guarantee you will all love my second brother's girlfriend when you meet her."
Lin Rui stood at the kitchen door, holding a vegetable spoon in his hand: "Why don't you send someone to help me cook."
Huang Wanxia said, "I cook for you two every day. I don't need help. Just do it yourself. We have something serious to discuss."
Ai Xiaoxia couldn't stop laughing: "Mom and Dad, you should talk to the person involved in the serious matter. I'm going to cook." After saying that, she went into the kitchen with a smile.
Huang Wanxia followed him in: "Let's talk while we cook."
Lin Jianye also came in, and everyone talked about Lin Rui while cooking.
After a while, Lu Jingshen also came and squeezed into the kitchen. When he heard that Lin Rui and An Ning's relationship was settled, he was happy for them.
Because it wasn't a dinner party or anything, just a casual meal for Ai Xiaoxia and his wife, so they didn't specially invite Lin Xiao and his wife to come back.
At the dinner table, after talking about Lin Rui, Ai Xiaoxia also told Lin Jianye and Huang Wanxia that she planned to change her name as soon as possible, and asked Lin Jianye when he would be free to accompany her.
Lin Jianye was very happy to hear Ai Xiaoxia say this on her own initiative, because he didn't want to urge Ai Xiaoxia to do it. After all, it was his and Huang Wanxia's negligence that caused his daughter to suffer over the years. In many things, he was willing to follow his child's wishes, but he was eager to change her name.
