"What? You have a girl you like?" Yi Ningxiang was utterly shocked.
She had once thought her son would be alone for the rest of his life, but unexpectedly, he gave her a pleasant surprise.
Zhou Yunting nodded shyly.
"How old are you? What's your name? When can Mom meet you?"
"Mom, she's not my girlfriend yet." Zhou Yunting said with great regret.
"What's wrong? Can't Mom ask?"
“Her name is Li Xiaoduo. She’s a graduate student now and a few years younger than me,” Zhou Yunting could only answer honestly.
Knowing that her son's intention to return to China was because of that girl, Yi Ningxiang was not angry at all; on the contrary, she was very happy.
"The fact that the girl agreed to travel with you means she doesn't dislike you. You have a great chance, so don't be discouraged. Keep trying." Afraid that her son's dullness would cause him to lose the girl he had finally fallen for, she could only gently encourage him.
"Mom, I know."
"Also, you have to be sweet-talking in front of girls, remember..." Yi Ningxiang wished she could teach her son everything useful she knew at once.
Zhou Yunting didn't find it annoying and tried his best to remember it.
When they met at the airport on the day of departure, Xiao Duo discovered that Zhou Yunting had brought a lot of luggage, no less than hers.
Moreover, Zhou Yunting wasn't alone this time.
Although surprised, Xiaoduo did not press for details.
In fact, most of this luggage was prepared by Yi Ningxiang, the mother, for her son. She strictly ordered her son to bring it, and Zhou Yunting had no choice but to obey his mother's orders.
This time, Xiao Duo was accompanied by Zhou Yunting on her way home, and it has to be said that she was in a pretty good mood.
After the plane took off, the two of them chatted for quite a while.
Because he went back to China for the Chinese New Year, Han Yi didn't plan to go back home for the summer vacation and instead went traveling around with his girlfriend, Wang Anni.
However, he learned about Xiaoduo's return to China through fellow students from the same school, and he simply snorted indifferently.
Wang Anni no longer speaks up for Xiao Duo all the time, and occasionally stirs up trouble in front of her boyfriend, causing Han Yi to lose interest in winning Xiao Duo back.
If Xiaoduo knew, she would probably be grateful to her.
domestic.
Erwa is now quite familiar with Miss Yu, Yu Xiang, and has also learned about Yu Xiang's family situation.
Yu Xiang's father was a chef, and her mother passed away unexpectedly when she was in elementary school. Her father raised her by running a small restaurant, and she learned to cook from him from a young age. Her skills were also passed down in the family.
It was only later, when my father's health deteriorated, that the storefront was sublet.
Until his father passed away, his biggest regret was that his family restaurant had not been passed down.
Yu Xiang later quit her job, took back the storefront of her home, renovated it, and opened the Yu Family Restaurant.
On one hand, it was to fulfill her father's wish, and on the other hand, she disliked the complicated workplace and preferred cooking. Seeing the satisfied expressions on the faces of her guests as they ate her food gave her a great sense of accomplishment.
Erwa loves to eat and knows how to eat well. She loves to cook. After spending a lot of time together, the two of them appreciate each other and become good friends.
After that, whenever Erwa came to the restaurant, Yu Xiang would always give him a discount.
Erwa didn't really want things to be this way. He felt that it was not easy for Yu Xiang, a young woman, to support her own small shop on her own.
Because she quit her job after only one year, and because her family's savings had been almost depleted due to her father's medical treatment, she didn't dare hire anyone at the shop and had to do everything herself.
But Yu Xiang insisted that if he didn't agree, he wouldn't consider himself a friend. Helpless, Erwa would always gather good ingredients to bring to Yu Xiang.
When Yu Xiang wasn't busy, they would cook and taste dishes together, and they both enjoyed it immensely.
Wang Lingling was feeling increasingly distressed.
When Erwa was about to go home for summer vacation, Yu Xiang felt a little reluctant to part with him.
Before Erwa left, she gave him some snacks she had made herself, so that he could take them back to his family to try.
With the help of her family, friends, and subordinates, Zhao Qinglan had almost finished preparing for her eldest son's wedding and also returned to her home in Guangzhou.
She took Sanwa back to the provincial capital when Sanwa's school was out for holidays.
As for Erwa, knowing that his mother and younger brother were both in the provincial capital, he didn't go back to Guangzhou, but went straight back to the provincial capital.
When they saw that Erwa had brought back snacks, Zhao Qinglan and the others assumed that Erwa had bought them from Shanghai.
After all, his family knows he loves to eat.
When Erwa said that it was a gift from a friend and that his family should try it, Zhao Qinglan noticed a strange look on her son's face.
"Erwa, what kind of friend is he?"
Erwa was completely unprepared and went back while playing around with his younger brother. "A friend who owns a restaurant."
"Male or female?"
"Female."
At this, Zhao Qinglan, Sun Shi, and Old Master Dou, who were sitting in the room, all had changes in their expressions.
During the meal, the snacks that Erwa brought back were plated and placed on the table, and Zhao Qinglan and the others also tried them.
"It tastes good," Zhao Qinglan commented honestly.
"Mom, I'm glad you like it. I'll bring you some more next time."
"Isn't it wrong to keep taking things from your friends?"
"It's okay, we're very close."
Zhao Qinglan and her mother exchanged a glance. The woman and her mother seemed to have a very good relationship; they had no choice but to ask.
The third child, standing to the side, listened to his mother ask his older brother any questions honestly, feeling helpless for his honest brother, but he was also waiting to see what would happen.
"Erwa, what kind of restaurant does your friend run? Tell Mom about it, maybe I can patronize it next time I go to Shanghai."
"It's not big, just a small restaurant, it's hers, she runs it all by herself."
"It must be so hard for a girl to do it all by herself."
"It is indeed hard work, but Yu Xiangren is skilled and can endure hardship."
And so, the name came out; it turned out to be Yu Xiang, and the family understood.
Erwa hadn't even realized it yet, but he had already revealed almost everything about Yu Xiang.
However, judging from her son's appearance, he still seemed oblivious. Zhao Qinglan was worried about whether the girl named Yu Xiang had pure intentions in associating with her son, and she was also helpless about her son's slowness.
Two children had only been back for a few days when Xiao Duo's flight was due to arrive.
This time, Zhao Qinglan didn't travel all the way to the capital to pick up the person.
This time when Xiaoduo returned to China, she brought back the two bodyguards who had stayed at home last time.
After getting off the plane, as they walked out, Zhou Yunting jokingly asked her for the invitation.
"I wonder if I'll have the chance to have a drink at your brother's wedding?"
Xiao Duo smiled. "Why would I need an invitation? Just come if you want, and I'll show you around our place."
"Okay, I'll remember that."
"By the way, please give my regards to Grandpa Zhou and Uncle."
"good."
Although reluctant, Zhou Yunting and Xiao Duo parted ways at the airport.
However, the thought of attending Xiaoduo's wedding banquet made him look forward to it again.
