Chapter 70: Flattered
Yan Xi smiled awkwardly, but in order to avoid making things worse, he decided to shut up.
Yan Bei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, met her still apologetic and nervous eyes, and unconsciously lowered his voice a few notes, "Just like you said."
"All right."
He was physically hurt and felt the pain in his heart. Since the person concerned said so, Suning would not dwell on it too much. She would naturally promise to fulfill what she said.
Isn't it just taking responsibility? The worst that can happen is that I can add some ingredients to it so that the injured ribs can heal soon!
It was less than half an hour's drive. After registering at the door, Su Ning and Yan Bei arrived downstairs at the Yan family's house.
Sunflowers are planted in the yard of the three-story building. July is the blooming season. The large yellow discs hold their heads high and sway freely in the bright sunshine.
"My mom likes to eat melon seeds, big devil... cough, my dad planted a patch for her in February or March this year."
Seeing her looking at the sunflowers in the yard, Yan Xi explained.
Unlike other people's families who have flowers and plants, at the very least they plant fruit trees and a few edible vegetables, theirs has to be rotated almost every year according to Ms. Xiang's preferences.
I remember that on the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival one year, Ms. Xiang had a sudden impulse and asked the big devil to plant mugwort all over the yard!
They are no longer surprised. Even if a carnivorous plant grows in the yard one day, it would not be surprising at all given the way the devil dotes on his wife.
Holding her hand, Yan Xi led her into the house. What's so good about all these big yellow heads in the yard!
In the future, she will ask her future childhood sweetheart to plant a yard full of thorny roses, which are so beautiful.
"Come on, Ningning, let's go in. The family should be back by now!"
Yan Bei, who was following behind, stopped and looked at the golden sunflowers in the yard.
I remembered that Suning's family also planted many flowers, plants, and fruit trees, as well as the vines that have climbed all over the wall. She said that these two kinds of flowers are particularly beautiful when they bloom, especially when it rains and winds.
I still remember the expression on her face when she said this.
Do you like pretty flowers?
No, it should be the sad and beautiful moment when the flowers sway and fall in the wind and rain.
People who always smile are actually sentimental deep down?
"Yan Xiaoqi, what are you daydreaming about? Come in quickly!"
"Yes, here I come."
Not knowing that someone was trying to interpret and analyze him in depth, the moment Su Ning stepped into the Yan family's gate, several gazes were focused on him.
The Yan family members who were sitting on the sofa and looking forward to it all had their eyes brightened and stood up at the same time.
Ms. Xiang smiled and glanced around imperceptibly: There should be nothing missed, is everything cleaned up?
"Ningning, let me introduce you. This is my grandparents, my parents, and my oldest and second oldest brothers."
"Grandpa Yan, Grandma Yan, Uncle and Aunt, Big Brother Yan and Second Brother Yan, hello. I am Yan Bei's friend Su Ning."
With a smile on his face, Suning greeted everyone one by one as Yan Xi introduced them, and placed the fruit gift box in his hand on the tea table.
"Oh, what a pretty girl!"
The old couple Yan smoothed out the wrinkles on their faces and smiled very kindly. They liked her more and more as they looked at her polite and well-behaved appearance.
"Why do you bring a gift when you're here? Don't be so polite next time. Ningning, should I follow Xi Yatou and call you that?"
When Mr. Yan saw that she nodded with a sweet smile and there was no reluctance, he continued to speak in a loud voice as gently as possible.
"Ningning, you are Xiaoqi's savior. No matter how we repay you, it will not be too much. But we old people don't know what you young people like, so we hope you don't dislike the little things we prepared for you."
Old Mrs. Yan smiled and nodded. Although her hair was full of silver hair, it was not difficult to tell from her still beautiful eyebrows and eyes that she was also a great beauty when she was young.
Just like a fine wine that becomes more fragrant with age, the passing of time only makes it more mellow and carries a unique flavor.
If grandma were still alive, I should be like her, right?
Sighing like this in his heart, Suning couldn't help but smile even sweeter at the old man whom he had a liking for at first sight.
It was not until she took out a emerald green bracelet from the small box in her hand and was about to put it on her wrist that he suddenly woke up and refused repeatedly.
Can an imperial green jadeite bracelet that can be passed down from generation to generation be just a gadget?
"No, this is too expensive. I can't accept it, Grandpa Yan and Grandma Yan!"
"Why can't I accept it? Can this thing be more valuable than my little Qi's life? Besides, a gift from an elder cannot be refused!"
While she was refusing to the old man, Old Lady Yan successfully grabbed her hand and put the bracelet on it. With great joy, she glanced at her equally excited daughter-in-law: It's settled now!
Ms. Xiang secretly gave her mother-in-law a thumbs up: Now that the family heirloom is on, the little daughter-in-law won't be able to escape, right?
"Ningning, just listen to the two elders. Beibei's life is much more valuable than these treasures."
The men in the Yan family are passionate. No matter how many generations ago, they were all the more doting on their wives and there has never been any heartless and disloyal man.
If you don’t move, it’s fine. But once you fall in love, it will last a lifetime.
So when they found out that their youngest son had other thoughts, they were so excited. This meant that Yan Bei also had someone he had chosen for his life.
She wasn't insulting her own son. It was just that she finally fell in love with someone who was both smart and beautiful, but he let that person run away. He deserved to be single for the rest of his life!
There were many thoughts in her mind, but she didn't delay Xiang Mingyu from following her and said, "This is a gift from my aunt, Ningning, please accept it."
"It's our first meeting, this is a small gift, I hope you like it, Suning."
"This is my second brother's. I'm not very good at picking what you ladies like. Please forgive me for that!"
"And me, and me. Ningning, this is what Sister Yan prepared. You must accept it. You can't not accept it!"
"I…"
Without waiting for her to say no, the Yan family members quickly stuffed all of them into her arms and then quickly jumped away.
Yes, jump!
If you don't react, you can't even pull the corner of his clothes!
Suning was left in a state of confusion, but then he thought that he had a lot of good things, and it would be better to exchange them for gifts of almost equal value when leaving rather than arguing with them.
After thinking it through, he no longer refused the kindness of the Yan family. "Thank you, Grandpa Yan and Grandma Yan, thank you for everyone's gifts. I like them very much."
"Hey, that's right ~ Hahahaha, this girl is so generous and straightforward, she really gets along with the old man's temper!"
“Ahem~”
"cough!"
Several coughs were heard. Suddenly thinking of what they had said before the people came, Mr. Yan, who was so happy that he forgot himself, felt a little embarrassed: It's over, won't his loud voice scare people?
As if he could see his embarrassment, Su Ning smiled without losing any smile, "Grandpa Yan has a forthright personality, just like my old man."
"Oh? That's great. Where is your grandfather? We should get to know each other when we have time. If you say so, we two brothers will definitely get along well!"
"Haha, Grandpa Fu is in Beijing, and I also think you two will definitely get along well."
"King City... Don't be afraid, there will always be a day like that! Hahahaha~"
At this time, Mr. Yan had no idea that his hint would turn out to be a double entendre in the near future.
The smile in the depths of his eyes faded a little, and became a little obscure.
She lowered her head and glanced at the bracelet on her wrist. The moment Grandma Yan touched her hand, she foresaw the future of the Yan family in her mind as expected.
"Ningning, are you hungry? The food has been on the table for a while and we've been waiting for you. How about we have dinner first?"
Yan Bei, who was always paying attention to her, noticed her mood change at the first moment. Afraid that she couldn't handle the enthusiasm of her family, he immediately gave Ms. Xiang a look.
Ms. Xiang nodded in understanding and interrupted the two people's conversation without leaving any trace, "Dad, what do you think? The food will get cold soon."
"Yes, yes, yes, I am getting old and confused. Let's go and have dinner!"
"Ningning is from Beijing and now lives in southern Hunan. You haven't tasted authentic Shanghai cuisine yet, right? Sister Quan specially prepared a large table of our specialties. You have to eat more today!"
Suning, who had just had a big meal with Xiaoyuanquan in the space before coming here, was so full that his belly was round:...
First put away the thoughts in your heart and face the problem in front of her.
As expected, as soon as the food was served, the enthusiastic Yan family members picked up their chopsticks and served her food, until her bowl was full and she still looked unsatisfied.
The second person to receive such care was Yan Bei.
The two looked at each other and smiled helplessly, then buried their heads in their work, feeling very stressed.
