"The dishes today are all very fresh. I'll make you some pork stewed with vermicelli later."
"There's some rice left over from yesterday, so I won't cook it."
Lin Yuemei nodded, opened the door, and met the gaze of the person inside the room. She couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Nannan, when are you coming back?"
"I'll be home around noon." Su Nan stepped forward to help carry the food. She smiled obediently and brought slippers for the two of them and placed them at their feet.
Su Qiangguo and Lin Yuemei exchanged a glance, both puzzled by Su Nan's unusual and servile behavior. Did she take the wrong medicine today? Or was there something else that happened that they didn't know about?
"We still have to cook, otherwise there won't be enough to eat. Old Su, go wash the rice." Lin Yuemei suppressed her curiosity and pretended nothing had happened as she walked towards the kitchen.
She knew her daughter well. If there was anything, Su Nan would definitely speak out herself. It was only a matter of time.
As expected, Su Nan followed immediately. Jiaojiao, who didn't know how to and didn't like to go into the kitchen, actually offered to help with cooking.
"Mom, let me wash this cabbage for you." After washing his hands, Su Nan took out a large cabbage from the bag, put it under the faucet and peeled off the leaves layer by layer.
"Has she changed her temper today? She's so diligent. Our daughter knows how to help her mother." Su Qiangguo scooped two bowls of rice from the rice jar and joked with a smile.
"Dad, I've always been diligent, haven't I?" Su Nan snorted, expressing his disapproval.
After wasting time washing the cabbage, Su Nan, who couldn't do anything else, could only stand by and watch. Feeling anxious, he cleared his throat and asked tentatively, "Mom and Dad, what kind of man do you think is more reliable?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the kitchen fell into an eerie silence.
Su Qiangguo and Lin Yuemei glanced over with a sly gaze, a look of intimidation as if they knew everything. Su Nan subconsciously took a step back and laughed dryly, "Hahaha, I'm just asking, nothing else."
"Are you dating? When are you going to have a date?" Lin Yuemei withdrew her gaze and continued to stir-fry the cabbage in the pot.
Seeing that Lin Yuemei had hit the nail on the head, Su Nan swallowed his saliva, responded guiltily, and whispered, "It's been almost two years."
"What?" Lin Yuemei and Su Qiangguo spoke in unison, with a look of disbelief on their faces, breaking the apparent calm. They thought they had just started talking at most, but they didn't expect it to be almost two years.
"Two years ago, Nannan, weren't you still working in the countryside?" Su Qiangguo suddenly thought of this, stepped forward, and asked with a frown.
Su Nan shrank his neck and said, "That's when we met and started dating."
"Why did you tell us now, you little girl? What if you were cheated? How dare you date someone in another place? Are you going to piss off your mother to death?" Lin Yuemei turned off the fire, ripped Su Nan's clothes, and pulled her to the sofa in the living room, her face flushed with anger.
"Mom, your daughter is not stupid. Besides, I was the one who pursued him. He is not a bad person." Su Nan knew this situation would happen. He carefully raised his head and glanced at Lin Yuemei, who was on fire.
When Lin Yuemei saw Su Nan saying that she was pursuing him, she felt dizzy. She was afraid that she was being deceived by a bad man, so she hurriedly asked, "How far have you two progressed?"
Hearing this, Su Nan's eyes rolled around. How could he dare to tell the truth? He coughed lightly and said, "We just held hands. We are very pure."
Su Nan came from the future, and her ideas and concepts are quite different from those of people today. What she thinks is not a big deal, daily love, may be considered shameless behavior in their eyes.
Besides, it would be too embarrassing to say this kind of thing in front of my mother, right?
"That's it." Lin Yuemei breathed a sigh of relief. She had no doubt about Su Nan's words.
"What does he do? How old is he? Where is his home? Let me be frank. If he's not from Shanghai, we absolutely don't want you to be together. How many girls who marry far away have such a good life?"
Lin Yuemei held Su Nan's hand and asked him a series of questions with earnest words, her expression becoming more and more ugly.
"Well, then you can rest assured, he is a local." Su Nan said this, and breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued: "His father is Zhou Rang, two years older than me, and he runs a business."
Before Lin Yuemei could answer, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Su Yang's voice came from outside: "Mom and Dad, open the door."
"I forgot to bring the key again, you idiot." Su Qiangguo cursed and ran to open the door.
Su Yang walked in with his schoolbag on his back, sweating profusely. Just as he was about to get a glass of water, he was stunned by the oppressive atmosphere before him. His intuition told him that something was wrong: "Sister, you're back? I'll go back to my room to put my schoolbag away first. You guys continue chatting."
"Wait, Mom and Dad, this kid Su Yang knows about my boyfriend. He's also met him in person. You can ask him what Zhou Rang looks like and whether he's reliable."
Su Nan grabbed Su Yang's hand as if he was grabbing a life-saving straw and sent him to Lin Yuemei.
“…”
Su Yang's face was filled with bitterness. He looked at his older sister in disbelief. Why did she drag him into this? He had only met his brother-in-law once to see if he was a man? And she was even threatened that if he told his parents, he would have nothing to eat!!!
He kept his mouth shut, so why is he still in trouble now? Wow, did he come down here just to take the blame for his sister?
"When did you see him?" Lin Yuemei glanced back and forth at Su Nan and Su Yang, and asked with narrowed eyes.
Su Yang shrank his neck and answered honestly, "It was the first time my sister came back from the countryside for the New Year. I saw him at the train station, and he was the one who drove us back."
"My brother-in-law is tall and handsome, and if he drives a car, his family must be very rich. No, I don't care about his wealth, but the other day I saw that he was the one who came up with everything and didn't let my sister touch anything. I think he treats my sister quite well."
Before Lin Yuemei could say anything, Su Qiangguo scolded her first, "What brother-in-law? What brother-in-law? There's no contact at all."
"I was wrong." Su Yang was most afraid of Su Qiangguo, so he buried his head tightly at this time.
"Then why are you helping your sister hide this from us?" Lin Yuemei poked Su Yang's shoulder angrily.
"It's because my sister didn't let me tell you, how could I dare to say it." Su Yang complained in a low voice, and turned to look at Su Nan with grievance.
Su Nan cleared her throat and put her hand on Su Yang's shoulder: "Be good, I'll buy you Warrior sneakers next time."
Hearing this, Su Yang's eyes lit up, and all his frustrations disappeared instantly. He smiled broadly and said sweetly, "Thank you. My sister is undoubtedly the most beautiful and kind-hearted beauty in the world."
"You are the only one who can talk." Su Nan smiled and rubbed his hair.
"Let's talk business. Don't change the subject." Lin Yuemei slammed the table and cast a warning look at the brother and sister.
"Yes." Su Nan restrained her smile, sat upright and prepared to continue to be questioned. She knew that Lin Yuemei would not feel at ease until she knew everything about Zhou Rang's situation clearly.
As expected, a series of problems followed, comparable to a household registration check.
