The two elderly people ignored them and went into the courtyard together.
Zhang Hongmei felt like she was walking with her legs and arms moving in unison. She was passively dragged into the courtyard by Zhang Shouyi.
"Wife, today's dishes are all your favorite vegetarian dishes. You must eat more." Zhang Shouyi sensed Zhang Hongmei's resistance, but he still firmly refused to give up.
The four sat in the dining room, where Xiao Li and Wang Xiaoshun made tea.
Chengzi led the food deliveryman in, and the table was filled with ten dishes.
"Hehe, does Shouyi mean 'perfect'?"
"Yes, Grandpa, Hongmei and I will definitely be perfect and live happily ever after."
"That's right, that's how it should be."
Shouyi, I am Hongmei's grandfather, and there are some things I must make clear.
You're ten years older than her. If you two are together in the future, it's impossible to agree on everything, and there will inevitably be some bumps along the way. I ask that you put Hongmei's wishes first in everything.
Of course, she can't be completely right, but you have to think that even when she's wrong, she's still right.
Upon hearing Gu Chuanming's words, Zhang Hongmei chuckled and said, "Grandpa, are you trying to raise me into a female tyrant?"
I'm not that kind of unreasonable person. For me, right is right, and wrong is wrong. I'm not incapable of distinguishing right from wrong.
"Hehe, yes, my Hongmei is such a sensible girl. The first time I saw you, I thought, how wonderful it would be if you were my daughter-in-law!"
It turns out we were very much meant to be, and God must have been compensating me by granting my wish. Also, it must have been Shouyi's mother in heaven helping her son by sending such a wonderful girl to his side.
"Dad, you're putting me on a pedestal. I can't even talk about the future; from the moment we met until now, I've always considered myself incredibly lucky to have met you."
"Hehe. You two are lucky." Gu Chuanming specially asked Chengzi to bring over a bottle of wine today. How could he not drink more on such a special occasion?
Zhang Shouyi took the wine bottle, intending to pour some for the two elderly people, but Zhang Hongmei stopped him.
"Grandpa, let's not drink today."
Since none of the three drivers were there, they were having dinner with the gatekeeper inside. So Zhang Hongmei directly poured two glasses of water, mixing one glass with the other, and handed them to the two elderly people, saying, "Grandpa, Dad, you can't drink it too strong. You have to drink it little by little, step by step."
"Hehe, we'll listen to you."
All three of them finished their drinks in one go, and then ate a meal as a formality.
Although the dishes tasted really good, Zhang Shouyi gave her a little of each. But that was all Zhang Hongmei ate.
Seeing that Zhang Hongmei had stopped eating, the two elderly people also put down their chopsticks. Almost none of the dishes on the table were touched.
"Grandpa, aren't we being too wasteful?"
"How could that be? Tell Chengzi to take it back to Xinyuan immediately. There are still five people at home who haven't eaten."
Chengzi and the other two quickly tidied up and went to deliver the food.
Zhang Shouyi brewed tea, and the four of them sat in the living room.
"We'll go back when they come back. We don't know how Wang Ying and Zeng Zhongkang are doing."
Zhang Shouyi, of course, hoped they would leave as soon as possible. He still wanted to enjoy some time alone with his wife.
"Hongmei, the post office will change our home phone number tomorrow. I applied for three more, one for each of us, so it will be more convenient in the future."
"Dad, shouldn't we install one in our living room too?"
“Yes, then let’s install four more.”
"Grandpa, will you come with me when I go back to Liujiatun?"
"Wife, I already told you I would go back with you!" Zhang Shouyi said with a mournful tone.
"Brother Zhang, do you have time? You spent a whole week picking me up, and now you're leaving again. Is this really not going to be a problem?"
“Nothing is more important than my wife. Grandpa and Dad will stay. This time, it will just be the three of us, Xiao Li, going back together. But you can’t stay at home for too long. I can only be away for ten days at most.”
"Ten days? No way. That's too short. Six days will be spent traveling back and forth. You're telling me I have to stay home for four days? You should stay home and work. Dad and Wang Xiaoshun can come back with me."
"Wife, is it really okay for you to abandon me like this? We've become husband and wife, how can I not go to my parents-in-law's graves to say hello?"
"Wife, it's not realistic for you to stay in Liujiatun for too long. And are you just planning to leave me here alone?"
Zhang Hongmei had no choice, but she had been away for three years and really missed everyone. She would stay for at least two or three months.
I said what I was thinking.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Shouyi became even more opposed. Was he supposed to sleep alone from now on?
The two elderly people didn't say anything, they just listened with smiles as the couple went through their lawsuit.
Chengzi and Xiao Li returned, and the two elderly people greeted them before leaving. They were both wondering who had ultimately given in. They guessed it would be Hongmei. Being men, they naturally understood their son; things were definitely different after he got a wife. Who would want to sleep alone?
Seeing that everyone had left, Zhang Shouyi realized that now, apart from the gatekeeper, only the two of them were left in the house.
"Honey, let's discuss this in a few days. Shall I run you a bath first?"
"No need, you can wash it yourself, I'll do it myself."
Now Zhang Shouyi will do whatever his wife says and will never upset her. If you say you'll do it yourself, then so be it.
"Honey, I'll bring the hot and cold water into the bathroom for you. I'll shower outside."
"Okay. Go and prepare."
Zhang Hongmei didn't shower outside. She locked the door, went straight into her spatial dimension, drank a large glass of water, and took a hot bath. She wandered around the dimension for a while until her hair was dry before going out.
Whether you stick your neck out or not, you'll still get stabbed. It's come to this, there's no need to be coy. After all, they've been married for over three years.
This time, Zhang Shouyi wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he carefully washed himself from head to toe, thinking that this would make his wife happy.
After showering, I returned to our room and found my wife already sitting there eating fruit, her hair completely dry. I squinted and, taking a big bite of apple from her hand, followed her lead.
"Honey, why does the one you're holding taste better than the others?"
Zhang Hongmei thought to herself, "Of course! This is a product from the space itself. How can anything from outside compare?"
"Brother Zhang, I'm not eating anymore. You can eat it all. This is the best one."
"Yes, I think it tastes good too, honey. Will you feed me?"
"You should do it yourself, I need to go wash my hands." Zhang Hongmei felt quite embarrassed. Feeding someone? Especially her own man?
