Chapter 104: Successful Marriage Proposal
"Dad, Mom, sister, I'm back." Lin Xu pushed open the door and shouted in the yard.
Soon, a woman came out from the main room.
The woman's pregnant belly was already very obvious. She held her belly with one hand and the door frame with the other, and walked very quickly.
"You guys arrived pretty quickly. It's tourist season now, and the main roads are jammed with traffic. I thought you'd arrive in the middle of the night."
"It was indeed quite congested, but Lin Xu knew the small road and led me around it. Hello, sister, I'm Zhou Yan."
Zhou Yan took the initiative to greet his sister.
Lin Yao looked at Zhou Yan with a smile. Because her younger brother had been enthusiastically recommending him to her and telling her how great Zhou Yan was, Lin Yao already had a good impression of Zhou Yan.
Now that we meet, the impression is even better.
The tall, handsome man, who is also full of righteousness, looks quite a match for Lin Xu when standing next to him.
"You seem to be older than me, so just call me by my name. My name is Lin Yao."
Lin Xu went over and held Lin Yao's arm: "It's okay, just let him call, he said that the husband should follow his husband's singing."
Lin Yao looked at Zhou Yan, and Zhou Yan followed Lin Xu's words and said, "I'll follow Lin Xu's call."
Lin Yao nodded, very satisfied.
My silly brother is too naive. If he really finds someone who is scheming against him, I won't be able to rest assured.
Judging from the way Zhou Yan obeyed Lin Xu's words, he was quite qualified.
"Mom and Dad are inside, let's go."
Lin Xu supported Lin Yao and walked to the back.
"When is the due date? What is my brother-in-law busy with?"
"Next month, but it might be earlier. Everything is ready now. Your brother-in-law is at home looking after your eldest nephew. The brat is too naughty, and I don't have the energy to deal with him right now."
The brother and sister were chatting about their recent situation, and Zhou Yan followed behind them.
The main house is very large, with a kitchen on the side of the first floor where you can see the old couple busy at work.
"Mom, Dad, my brother and the others are back." Lin Yao shouted inside.
Mother Lin put down what she was holding and came out. Her expression was a little awkward, but also kind: "I'm back."
Lin Xu and Lin Yao looked at each other, and Lin Yao gave her brother a comforting look.
Zhou Yan took the initiative to walk up to Mother Lin and said respectfully, "Hello, Auntie, I'm Zhou Yan. I'm sorry to bother you by coming to see you. Lin Xu and I have visited many places along the way and bought some local specialties for you. Please don't mind."
Don't hit someone who smiles at you. Mother Lin couldn't say anything about Zhou Yan's attitude.
"I'm sorry for the expense. Put the things in the living room. You can rest for a while. The food will be ready soon."
Mother Lin didn't unwelcome Zhou Yan, she just felt embarrassed.
Other people's sons come home with a daughter-in-law, but his son comes home with a man. Mother Lin doesn't know how to get along with this "male daughter-in-law".
Zhou Yan put down his things and said, "Let me help you."
Mother Lin waved her hand: "No need, these are all specialties of our place, and you can't make them either. You two can go outside and chat. Yaoyao, take them both out."
"Okay, don't worry."
Lin Yao brought Zhou Yan and Lin Xu out of the kitchen and sat down in the living room.
Lin Yao was worried that Zhou Yan might misunderstand, so she explained to her parents, "Don't worry. They might not seem that enthusiastic because they're a little embarrassed. You have to give them time to adjust. After all, at their age, living in such a simple place, they might not be that accepting of your relationship. Can you understand that?"
Zhou Yan nodded: "I understand. Uncle and aunt letting me come to their house is already the biggest concession they can make. I won't think too much about it."
Lin Yao was very satisfied and looked at Lin Xu: "You have good judgment, kid. He has passed my test for now. I will try my best to convince my parents."
Lin Yao was satisfied with Zhou Yan, not just because of these few words, but also because of Lin Xu's condition.
She also knew about Lin Xu's last relationship. Even when they were dating, she didn't see Lin Xu in such a good state.
Lin Xu now has red lips, white teeth, bright eyes, and exudes happiness from the inside out.
This relationship at least brought him positive emotions.
The meal was ready quickly. Lin Xu asked Lin Yao to sit down while he and Zhou Yan went to help. Soon the table was ready.
Mother Lin and Father Lin sat in the main seats, with Father Lin lowering his head.
Compared to Mother Lin, he was even more embarrassed.
They are all men, and he feels uncomfortable when he thinks about his son being with a man.
Mother Lin and her daughter kicked him under the table at the same time, reminding him not to make the atmosphere too awkward.
Father Lin scratched his head and cleared his throat: "That—"
Zhou Yan watched their little actions and laughed in his heart, but he saw through it but didn't say anything.
Seeing that Father Lin was having difficulty speaking, he picked up the teacup first and said, "Uncle, I offer this cup of tea to you and Auntie. Thank you for letting me come to your home as a guest."
Since he had started the conversation, it was easier for Father Lin to continue: "Well, you're welcome. From now on, we're all family."
"Pfft——" Lin Yao couldn't help laughing.
She just wanted her father to say hello to the other person and not be rude, but it turned out that her father not only didn't say anything, but also made a big fuss when he spoke.
We are now a family.
Mother Lin couldn't help laughing and whispered, "You'd better stop talking."
Lin Xu's face turned red. Zhou Yan stood up and refilled Lin's father's tea. "Uncle is right. You can rest assured to leave Lin Xu to me. I will take good care of Lin Xu."
Lin Yao tried to smooth things over: "Come, come and eat. I'm not sure if you can get used to the food here."
Zhou Yan filled a bowl of mushroom soup and took a sip: "It's delicious."
"What you can eat outside are all dried goods. We eat fresh food. The taste is not bad at all."
"Indeed."
Zhou Yan has been in the business world for many years and is best at dealing with people.
The Lin family are all very good people, just like Lin Xu, kind and simple, without so many twists and turns.
During the meal, Zhou Yan integrated into the family and they chatted and laughed like a real family.
Lin Xu never dreamed that such a day would come. He used to think that his parents would not be able to accept it, and it was good enough for him to go home occasionally.
Lin Xu was very touched when he saw his parents chatting happily with Zhou Yan.
Lin Yao patted his shoulder and gave him a thumbs up.
When Zhou Yan stayed at home that night, Lin Xu did not hide it and let him sleep in his room.
Zhou Yan hugged him and asked, "Does this mean my proposal of marriage is successful?"
Lin Xu rested his head on his arm contentedly: "Didn't your uncle say we're family?"
With the approval of his family, Lin Xu felt an extra sense of unbridled happiness in his heart.
Lying in the room where I grew up, with the one I love by my side, bubbles of happiness are bursting out from my heart.
Zhou Yan looked at the scenery outside the window and sighed, "My hometown also has mountains, but they are different from the mountains here. They can't be described as picturesque. The mountains over there are very cold and majestic, but also very beautiful. They have hard lines and are intimidating."
"I promised Auntie that I would go back with you if I had the chance."
Zhou Yan suddenly turned around and asked him, "Do you like it here?"
Lin Xu nodded: "Of course I like it."
Zhou Yan also liked it very much. He couldn't even imagine how Lin Xu, who grew up in such an environment, could endure the sky framed by steel and concrete.
He wanted to ask Lin Xu if he was willing to give up city life and return here.
But before he could ask, there was a sound of footsteps on the floor, and then there was a rapid knock on the door. Father Lin said anxiously: "Lin Xu, hurry up and get up, your sister is about to give birth."
