Dai Qiongying rolled her eyes. The two sisters-in-law had always loved and hated each other, and they could also joke around.
Dai Qiongying took out a jade pendant. The jade was warm and translucent, without any cotton-like inclusions or flaws.
Chu Yu was surprised that Dai Qiongying also had a gift. "Auntie, this is too precious. You should save it for Zuo Ran's future girlfriend!"
"Him? That brat is never home. I see him only a few times a year. Who knows when he'll bring his girlfriend home!"
Dai Qiongying also disapproved of Zuo Ran entering the entertainment industry, but under Chu Yu's guidance, Zuo Ran released four albums, each of which ranked in the top three on the charts, and he even won a Golden Melody Award.
After Zuo Ran's songs were introduced to the mainland, they spread throughout the streets and alleys. Dai Qiongying could hear her son's songs everywhere she went. She watched Zuo Ran sing, hold concerts, participate in programs, and act in movies. As Zuo Ran's career progressed, she gradually accepted the fact that her son was venturing into the entertainment industry.
Dai Qiongying spoke critically, but her expression was actually quite proud.
Chu Yu was surprised to receive such an expensive gift. Actually, she didn't care about such things. Everyone was reasonable. Dai Donglin was good to her and never stingy. Chu Yu had a sense of propriety. She wasn't an unreasonable person and didn't want to ruin the harmony over such a small matter.
But even though she didn't ask, the Dai family kept offering her things.
Zhou Yun also arranged for the two families to meet and discuss the details of the wedding.
The sound of a car parking at the door came from outside. The driver got out and opened the door for Dai Xueyi. After a busy day, Dai Xueyi returned home to find the house full of people, including Dai Donglin, whom he rarely saw.
"Is Xiao Zhou here?" Dai Xueyi said gently.
His tone was gentle, yet carried the air of a superior. Chu Yu was not afraid of Dai Xueyi; she respected him and spoke to him with reverence.
"Uncle Dai, Donglin and I have come to see you and Auntie. How have you been lately? Are your joints still bothering you now that winter is here?"
Last year, Dai Xueyi had joint discomfort, and Zhou Yun mentioned it to Chu Yu.
When Chu Yu found out, he asked someone to buy some medicinal wine from the hunters in the mountains.
Believe it or not, the medicinal wines these days are really effective. After using it, Dai Xueyi felt that his knee joints were more flexible and he didn't feel as uncomfortable on cloudy days as usual.
Dai Xueyi was very pleased to hear Chu Yu's concern.
He only has one son, Dai Donglin, and he doesn't have a daughter to care for him. Chu Yu is his daughter-in-law, but she knows how to care for people better than her son. The father-in-law is quite proud of her.
"I feel much better, thank you for the medicinal wine, it helped a lot." After saying that, Dai Xueyi glared at Dai Donglin with annoyance. This high-ranking person, who was busy with many affairs, actually said sarcastically, "Daughters are so good, daughters are so considerate, unlike some people, you never see them all day, you never hear a kind word from them, it's like raising them is like not raising them at all!"
Dai Donglin was stunned. He never expected that this fire would spread to him. He didn't know when Chu Yu had sent Dai Xueyi the medicinal wine, nor did he know that Dai Xueyi had a chronic joint pain problem.
Dai Donglin said:
"No, I see you walk quite fast, and every morning you even have a race with Uncle Qin next door to see who can run faster. You also play badminton with people when you have free time. Your joints are usually fine, so why are they hurting?"
Dai Xueyi suppressed his temper; a man who was usually unmoved by anything outside was driven half to death by his son at home.
Zuo Guangming wanted to laugh. "Alright, brother-in-law, come and play chess. When have you ever won an argument with this kid? Today your son successfully proposed. After marriage, he'll be an adult. You have to give him some face."
Dai Xueyi was stunned for a moment before looking at Dai Donglin in disbelief.
Dai Xueyi's expression was complex, his eyes showing shock, surprise, and unspeakable pride.
Dai Xueyi only has one son, Dai Donglin. No matter how well a father hides his feelings, his love for his child is real. His child is about to get married and enter another stage of life, and Dai Xueyi will become a father-in-law and a grandfather.
This is of great significance to Dai Donglin, Dai Xueyi, and the Dai family.
Dai Xueyi patted Dai Donglin on the shoulder with emotion, and Dai Donglin couldn't help but choke up. He had always been annoyed by Dai Xueyi since he was a child, but now he suddenly noticed that Dai Xueyi had gray hair at his temples and his wrinkles were deeper than before.
As parents grow old, they are no longer the dignified figures of their childhood memories. They will become hunched over, their backs will be bent, their hair will turn white, and they will crave their children's attention and seek their opinions.
Dai Xueyi was a leader when he was young, and he rose through the ranks smoothly. He was always very authoritative at home. Zhou Yun usually didn't argue with him, and everyone else gave in to him. Only Dai Donglin was not afraid of him and would annoy him every day. When they were young, he would step on Dai Xueyi's face and make Dai Xueyi carry him on his shoulders to show off to everyone.
Later, as Dai Donglin grew older, he became unruly and never went home. He had his own sky, his own sea, and a world he wanted to explore!
He often goes out and stays in the team all year round without going home. Even when he does come back, he will see his friends and wife, but he rarely thinks about his parents.
Thinking about his misdeeds over the years, Dai Donglin felt that he was really unfilial.
He's so silly. How could he think his parents wouldn't get old?
Even though his father had aged and his mother had wrinkles, he still remembered his parents as they were when he was a child.
Dai Donglin felt a sudden pang of sadness in his nose and couldn't help but turn his head away, pretending to change the subject, but he felt uneasy inside.
Chu Yu could see through his thoughts; sometimes Chu Yu was quite envious of Dai Donglin.
Everything Dai Donglin possesses is something Chu Yu could not obtain even after many years of hard work.
Chu Yu doesn't have such a good family background, nor a father who loves her unconditionally. Chu Yu can never be as carefree as Dai Donglin. This is the confidence that family gives Dai Donglin.
