Chapter 9 A Phone Call

Her daughter was right. She couldn't be timid at this time.

At this moment, Wang Xiaoli felt that her daughter had really grown up.

Yes! What was she worried about? After living for so many years, why didn't she have a child who was as clear-headed as her?

She and He Yunzhou have been entangled for almost half their lives, and they are finally together. Even if He's parents don't agree, so what? She won't be living with them.

Moreover, He Yunzhou is a responsible man. Even if his parents did not agree before, they must agree now, otherwise there would not be a phone call tonight.

At exactly six o'clock in the evening, He Yunzhou and his parents had agreed to talk on the phone. When the time came, the landline phone in the living room started to ring.

The phone rang, and Lin Nuan held Wang Xiaoli's hand. She could see that her mother was still a little nervous, so she could only encourage her silently.

He Yunzhou picked up the phone and called, "Mom and Dad."

Lin Nuan and Wang Xiaoli couldn't hear clearly what was said on the other end of the phone, but soon Gu Yunzhou put the phone on the table, with the receiver facing upwards, and waved at them, asking them to come closer.

"Mom and Dad, they are right next to me, just tell me if you have anything to say."

Wang Xiaoli also came forward and summoned up the courage to call out, "Dad, Mom, hello, I'm Xiaoli."

Lin Nuan also received the phone call and greeted politely, "Hello, grandpa and grandma, I am Lin Nuan."

A very gentle and loving voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hey, hey Xiaoli, hello Nuannuan."

I could faintly hear a male voice agreeing.

It can be heard that the two elders of the He family are quite satisfied with Wang Xiaoli, and they don't seem to show any disdain towards their adopted granddaughter. However, it is hard to say now as time will tell.

The gentle and loving voice quickly continued, "Xiao Li, I'm sorry for wronging you. That stinky boy from Yunzhou called your father and me to tell us about your marriage only after you got the marriage certificate. We were too late to go there and didn't have time to attend your wedding. When you come back during the Chinese New Year, we'll set up a few tables for you in the restaurant and invite all your relatives and friends to hold a wedding for you. Your betrothal gifts should be here in the next two days. If there's anything missing, we'll make it up to you when we come back."

"Also, your sister-in-law and I prepared gifts for you and Nuannuan. We will send them together. If you don't like them, we will buy them when you go home during the Chinese New Year."

Wang Xiaoli's eyes instantly turned red, and her voice was a little choked up, "Thank you, Mom. Yunzhou is very good, and I don't have any requests. We will listen to you two elders, and you can do whatever you want."

He Yunzhou put his arm around Wang Xiaoli's shoulders and patted her gently twice to calm her down.

Lin Nuan didn't expect that there would be a gift for her, so she hurried to thank him. This also shows the attitude of He Yunzhou's family towards her and her daughter.

"Thank you, grandpa and grandma, and aunt and uncle. Nuannuan will definitely go back with my parents to visit everyone during the Chinese New Year."

Mrs. He responded happily, "Okay, okay."

"In fact, I have wanted to call you and your daughter for a long time. Before, you didn't have a phone in Taoyuangou, so you had to run to the provincial capital to make a call. Your father just told us yesterday that you and your daughter were going to join the army with him, so we arranged a time to call today."

"Originally, I was thinking that if you couldn't come, we would go over there, but your father and your uncle wouldn't agree to anything, and they looked down on your grandfather and I because we are too old..."

Lin Nuan listened to Grandma He's words with a patient smile. Listening to her complaints about her two sons, she could imagine that the atmosphere in the He family should be very good.

"Grandpa and grandma, we will be able to meet during the Chinese New Year. It will only take half a year at most. If grandma wants to find someone to chat with in the future, you can call me..."

After all, the two parties had never met each other, but through He Yunzhou, their common relative, they got to know each other a little. They chatted for five or six minutes like chatting about family matters and then hung up the phone.

It was not until I met the He family that I realized how good they were. I was very glad that I traveled through time and space at that critical moment to replace the original owner. Otherwise, based on the original owner's awkward personality in my memory, she would definitely not agree to Wang Xiaoli and He Yunzhou being together, and I would never know what kind of family she had lost and how happy she should be. Of course, these are all stories for later.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nuan's face was filled with a bright smile, which really proved the saying that an old person in the family is like a treasure.

"Dad He, grandma is so cute. I'm looking forward to meeting her in half a year."

Although it was just a phone call, I was naturally very happy to see his current wife, daughter and his family getting along so happily.

"You will be going back to school soon. When you have your winter vacation, we will go back to Beijing. If you like your grandparents, you can stay at home for a while. Your grandparents love you very much. Their biggest regret is that they don't have a granddaughter. Now that this wish has finally been fulfilled, I wonder how happy they must be?"

"I was worried that they would scare you, so I didn't dare to let you talk on the phone. You don't know how much your grandma is..."

Lin Nuan felt that when He Yunzhou talked about his old mother, she had a feeling of respect, fear and dread. In short, it felt quite funny, but it could also be seen that the relationship between mother and son must be very good.

"Dad, were you beaten a lot by grandma when you were a kid? Why do you seem so scared when you talk to grandma? I think grandma is pretty cute and kind when she speaks."

In order to protect his mother's image, He Yunzhou did not mention her glorious image. Just now, when he heard his mother talking to Nuannuan, she didn't seem like his mother at all. It seemed that she was only so gentle and kind when she talked to his eldest sister-in-law at home. So he just smiled and said, "You will know when you see your grandmother in the future."

It is better not to destroy the child’s imagination that his grandmother is a kind and amiable old woman too early.

After all, when he came home last year, his mother chased him with a stick and beat him.

Thinking about it now makes my spine ache.

I made a phone call, but there was nothing else to do, so I just said hello to the two people sitting on the sofa.

"Mom and Dad, I'm going back to bed. You should get some rest early too."

After getting a response from the two, he trotted upstairs.

Normally, Lin Nuan would stay in the living room and watch TV for a while, but sometimes she didn't want to disturb her parents' world of two, so she would find her way back to her room. Therefore, her behavior did not arouse the suspicion of Wang Xiaoli and He Yunzhou.

I only heard Wang Xiaoli say a few words behind me, "You are such a frivolous kid. Be careful not to fall when you go up the stairs."

After she finished speaking, she ran into the room.
