Yu Xiangnian tasted each dish twice and nodded repeatedly, "This is the taste! Auntie, your cooking skills are still the same as they were back then!"
Yang Jie put a few more dishes into Yu Xiangnian's bowl with chopsticks and said, "Eat more. Your words really make me feel comfortable. I wish I had a daughter." After saying that, she glared at Qiu Yang with dissatisfaction.
Yu Xiangnian pretended not to notice, "Auntie, Qiu Yang is also very good. He has been obedient since he was a child, and he has such a promising future when he grows up. He has good character and is self-disciplined. He is good in every way."
Qiu Dahui snorted coldly, "He's just too self-disciplined! He's already old, and he's never even been in a relationship!"
"Uncle, this can't be rushed." Yu Xiangnian said, "Finding a partner also requires the right time, place, and people."
Qiu Dahui said disdainfully: "It's not a war, so we still have the right time, place and people!"
Yu Xiangnian said, "Let's talk about Yu Xiangyang. My parents arranged many blind dates for him, but he was not interested in anyone. Finally, he met Wen Qiuning by chance, and they got together."
Yu Xiangyang had many blind dates, and Qiu Dahui and the others knew about it.
Yang Jie frowned, "I think I heard from your mother that Xiang Yang and Wen Qiu Ning were dating when they were in school, but they later broke up."
Yu Xiangnian: “…” I didn’t expect that they knew so much.
"That's what happened." Yu Xiangnian's mind raced, trying to figure out how to smooth things over. "Their relationship came about very suddenly. They met when Wen Qiuning was just starting college, but neither of them liked the other. Then, when Wen Qiuning was about to graduate, they suddenly fell in love and started dating. They were together for over six months, but then something happened in Wen Qiuning's family, and they decided to break up. It's been almost four years since then."
"Everyone thought it was impossible for them to be together, but six months ago, they met and suddenly decided to get married. So, when it comes to finding a partner, you can't rush it. When fate brings you together, it will happen naturally."
Qiu Yang was very good at finding opportunities to cooperate. "So, Bighead Fish and Wen Qiuning have been in love for a long time."
Yu Xiangnian also nodded in agreement, "Yes, it's just that love grows over time."
Yang Jie's brows furrowed even deeper.
It took Yu Xiangyang and Wen Qiuning eight years from the time they met to the time they got married. By that calculation, wouldn't Qiu Yang have to be in his forties before getting married?!
No, no! By then, Qiu Yang would be too old to have children.
Qiu Yang had guessed Yang Jie's thoughts and said, "Not everyone needs to go through eight years. The fastest is one or two years, the slowest is three or four years. Only people with large brains and small brain capacity like bullheads need eight years."
Yu Xiangnian cooperated and deliberately asked, "You have a small brain but a large capacity. How many years will it take you?"
Qiu Yang confidently replied, "Me, maybe one or two years."
Qiu Dahui and Yang Jie could hear that the two children were secretly telling them not to be anxious. How could they not be anxious?!
But they also knew clearly that it was useless for them to be anxious, and Qiu Yang had to come to his senses.
Yu Xiangnian changed the subject at the right moment, "Uncle, you've been in Beijing for so long. Have you visited attractions like the Forbidden City and the Great Wall?"
Qiu Dahui: “I haven’t been there.”
When Qiu Yang is at work, they are busy looking at and buying houses. When Qiu Yang is off work, they are busy taking him to blind dates. How can they have time to go shopping?
I went to quite a few restaurants and got tired of eating out, but I had visited every tourist attraction.
Yu Xiangnian deliberately blamed Qiu Yang, "Uncle and auntie came all the way here, and you don't even take them to visit these places?"
Qiu Yang replied: "They are busy looking for a date for me, so they don't have time to go shopping."
Yu Xiangnian said to Yang Jie sincerely, "Auntie, you've done your best regarding Qiu Yang's personal issues. Maybe his fate hasn't arrived yet. Don't spend all your time on him. You also need to have your own lives. You've worked hard for half your lives. Now that you're retired, you should enjoy life, do what you like, and hang out with friends."
Qiu Yang agrees with this point. "Every time I say this, you accuse me of capitalism. But I still have to say, Dad and Mom, your standard of happiness isn't my happiness. You should live your own lives. Besides, our two generations have different definitions of happiness. You consider a happy family with many children and grandchildren to be happiness, while I consider happiness to be able to do what I want to do."
"You think I'm unhappy because I'm living alone out there, renting a house, eating in a cafeteria, having no home, no wife to take care of me, and no children to keep me company. But actually, I'm living a good life. I really enjoy this free and relaxed feeling."
Qiu Dahui and Yang Jie didn't look too happy.
Yu Xiangnian quickly tried to smooth things over, "Uncle and aunt, Qiu Yang has been abroad for so many years, it's normal for him to like his freedom. Besides, when it comes to marriage, the pot fits the lid. The one you've painstakingly searched for may not necessarily be the right one for Qiu Yang."
The meal took a while, and Qiu Dahui and Yang Jie's expressions changed from relaxed to ugly, and finally returned to relaxed again.
After the meal, everyone chatted for a while before Yu Xiangnian left.
Qiu Yang walked her outside and said, "It looks like my parents are almost convinced."
Yu Xiangnian glared at him and said, "I'll help you this time, don't ask me for help again."
Although she talked so much today, she felt guilty for lying to Qiu Dahui and Yang Jie.
"then···"
Qiu Yang was about to bring up what happened back then when Yu Xiangnian interrupted him, "Don't bring up that time again. I'm only trying to persuade them this once. You can figure it out on your own from now on!"
