"...The wind blows past my ears, an ancient song is singing! This is you and me, who have never forgotten! This is the way we came from and the destination, it is you who is answering, go, go...we will meet in the end..." The song is on loop in the study.
Xiao Yu closed his eyes and felt the difference between the music and his memory.
The early autumn morning breeze blew in from the window, opening the curtains, bringing with it the unique sweet scent of strawberries.
Are the strawberries ripe?
Xiao Yu swallowed unconsciously and opened his eyes.
He came back too late last night, and Zhou Yanzhi didn't even give him a chance to eat dinner. He just carried him into the bedroom.
Now smelling the sweet fragrance of strawberries, he suddenly felt so hungry that he could swallow a cow.
Swallowing a cow was naturally impossible. Xiao Yu came to the rooftop garden and immediately spotted several red strawberries on the edge of the flower beds.
The strawberry varieties must have been carefully selected, one for each flower bed. On the strawberry sapling closest to his window, each one was beautifully grown, like a work of art. The fruits were about the size of a child's fist, and the color was stunning.
Xiao Yu picked a few and took them to the sink to rinse them briefly.
"Hmm, so sweet!...Delicious." Xiao Yu finished five or six big strawberries in minutes.
Xiao Yu felt that these strawberries had a particularly strong strawberry flavor, and were many times more delicious than the ones he had bought from roadside stalls in his previous life for dozens of yuan a box.
Thinking that such delicious strawberries should be let Zhou Yanzhi taste them, he quickly ran downstairs to find a fruit basket and picked all the ripe strawberries and red and purple tomatoes.
After carefully arranging the strawberries, big and small, and the small tomatoes the size of ping-pong balls in the basket, Xiao Yu took a few photos and sent them out. He originally thought that even if Zhou Yanzhi paid attention to him, he would wait a long time.
Unexpectedly, the other party's message came back in less than a minute.
"The driver will pick you up in a while. Go to the old man's place for lunch. It's his birthday today."
“…” Xiao Yu: (⊙o⊙)…
"Just bring your strawberries, no need to prepare anything else."
Xiao Yu: ...
"Isn't this bad?" He, he's a male lover, and he's even entering the house? Doesn't Zhou Yanzhi have a grudge against his grandfather? On such a happy day, he's being asked to cause trouble?
"Grandpa won't have a big birthday party this year, just a family dinner together. He likes lunchtime gatherings, but the elders at home are all busy at noon. You can go over first, and you can bring your computer."
"Uh, okay..."
"Even an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her parents-in-law. Be good!"
"..." Xiao Yu: (⊙o⊙)... This, is this something Zhou Yanzhi could say? Also, if he goes to see the old man, will he really not make the old man angry?
Xiao Yu was very conflicted, but he finally took a shower and changed into a comfortable, polite, short suit with a bit of Hanfu style. He also asked the housekeeper to help him carefully pack the fruit basket, and then he got into Uncle Chen's car and left.
The old man's residence was a bit far from them, and the road conditions were not very good today, so when they arrived at their destination, it was already eleven o'clock in the morning.
He was delayed at the gate for a while, mainly because it was his first visit and he needed to register. His strawberries and cherry tomatoes were also supposed to be inspected. However, just as the guard was about to take action, a middle-aged man trotted into the complex, saving the strawberries and cherry tomatoes.
The middle-aged man said his surname was Wang and that he was the old man’s bodyguard.
The community where the old man of the Zhou family lives has no name. When the car is driving in the community, the buildings inside look very ordinary and very old.
The old man lived in an ordinary-looking two-story building with a yard in front of it. There was a young jujube tree in the yard, and some simple vegetables were planted under the tree.
For example, peppers, eggplants, cucumbers, cowpeas and pumpkins. Loofahs and gourds are climbing on the courtyard wall.
If Xiao Yu, who came back from 2025, didn't know that this was the imperial capital, seeing this small courtyard would really make him feel like he was back in the countryside in an instant.
"Hello, Grandpa!" Xiao Yu looked at the old man standing at the door, who was dressed like a street uncle and had completely white hair, and greeted him nervously and embarrassedly.
The old man looked to be in his sixties or seventies. However, Xiao Yu estimated that he must be at least seventy or eighty years old. After all, he was Zhou Yanzhi's grandfather.
But what is the situation now?
The old man of the Zhou family shouldn't come to the door in person to greet his unclear son-in-law, right?
or--
Xiao Yu: Old man doesn’t want him to come in?
Old Master Zhou, leaning on his cane, stood at the doorway, looking at his grandson's new wife. It was indeed his grandson's good fortune to have met his destined person in his lifetime.
When my in-laws were still alive, they were 100% certain that their grandson would be alone for the rest of his life.
Although the child was a boy in the end, what about his grandson? As a family member, the old man was grateful and thankful from the bottom of his heart that there was someone who would accompany him throughout his life without being affected by his physical condition.
Some might say that the Zhou family was simply courting disaster. Having children was already difficult, and in this generation, there were only two males. The older family, for some reason, only had one daughter.
But who knew that his grandson's physique was destined to make it difficult for him to have children from the moment he was born.
After all, no ordinary woman can withstand the burning of a very yang body.
"Okay, okay!" The old man said three times in a row, and then nodded, "Xiao Yu, right? Come in quickly. Grandpa has been waiting for you for several months! You are finally here."
Waiting for him? Xiao Yu didn't understand why, but because he had just arrived and was suddenly treated so warmly, he felt a little shy and his ears turned red.
