“Knock, knock, knock…”
Xu Sheng saw that the lights in the house were still on, so he walked over anxiously and knocked on the door.
I haven't been back for several months and I really miss home.
When Jiang's mother heard the knock on the door, she looked at Xu Hai and asked in confusion, "Who is it?"
"Mom, it's me! Give birth to a child." Xu Sheng said.
"It's the birth of a child that's back!"
Mother Jiang quickly stood up and went to open the door.
The person she had just been talking about was indeed standing outside the door.
"Old man, it's Nannan who's back!" It was clearly Mr. Xu standing in front of the door, but after opening the door, the first person Jiang's mother saw was Xu Zhiyi.
"Mom, we're back." Xu Zhiyi said with a smile.
"Hurry! Come in!" Jiang's mother was very happy.
Mr. Xu didn't have time to argue with his mother and went in first. Mother Jiang enthusiastically took Xu Zhiyi's luggage.
When Xu Zhiyi walked into the house, she saw the man following her.
Pei Yan was extremely nervous. When he entered the house, his palms began to sweat in the cold weather.
This was the first time Xu's parents met Pei Yan.
The same is true for Pei Yan.
"Nannan, what is this?" Jiang's mother asked, pretending not to know.
"Mom, this is my boyfriend. His name is Pei Yan." Xu Zhiyi said.
"Hello uncle and aunt, I'm Pei Yan." Pei Yan's face showed some helplessness and nervousness.
Under the light, Pei Yan clearly felt two pairs of eyes falling on his body and face, making him feel tense.
"Hello, come in and sit down." Jiang's mother was unexpectedly good-tempered.
Xu Sheng was stunned.
As for his biological mother, she has never even looked at her son, and yet she is so nice to the person his second sister brought home!
In fact, Jiang's mother just felt that it was not appropriate to talk late at night, and it was not a good idea to maintain a stalemate.
Xu Hai did not express his opinion and let Jiang's mother make the decision.
Xu Zhiyi pulled Pei Yan's sleeve, walked over to the chair and sat down.
"Nannan, why are you back so late? Shouldn't you have arrived in the afternoon?" Mother Jiang put the luggage aside.
"Ayan caught a thief on the train. After getting off the train, he went to the Public Security Bureau and was delayed on the way." Xu Zhiyi only said the first half.
To be honest, I just didn't tell the whole story.
"So you haven't eaten yet? I'll go make you some food right away, don't let you starve!" Jiang Mei said as she was about to go into the kitchen.
Fortunately, we knew they were going home, so we had prepared a full set of egg noodles at home.
Jiang Mei was going to the kitchen, and Zhiyi followed to help.
The living room was quiet for a moment.
Mr. Xu felt that the atmosphere was strange. "I'll go pack my clothes." Then he slipped into the room with his luggage.
There were only two of them left in the living room, and Xu Hai took the kettle and poured water for Pei Yan.
"Thank you, uncle. I'm sorry for coming so late." Pei Yan stood up slightly and took the cup of water.
"How long have you been together with Nannan?"
“It’s almost been a year.”
Pei Yan took the initiative to talk to Xu Hai, and he didn't look angry, nor did he look very happy.
When Xu Zhiyi came to the kitchen, he saw his mother kneading dough.
"Mom, is there anything I can do?" Xu Zhiyi asked.
"You're not needed. You've been on the train for several days and must be tired. Go ahead and sit down," said Jiang's mother.
"I'm not going. I'll just stay here with Mom." Xu Zhiyi gave up kneading the dough herself. She knew that Jiang's mother would definitely not let her do it.
"Mom, I brought A Yan with me when I came back this time. You won't be angry, will you?" Xu Zhiyi felt guilty.
"Angry? Why should I be angry? My children are grown up and have their own ideas." Jiang's mother didn't look at her and kneaded the dough in her hand.
As soon as Xu Zhiyi heard it, she knew that Jiang's mother must be angry.
When she was dating someone or bringing him to her house, she would do it first and ask for permission later.
She did this because she knew her parents would not make things too difficult for Pei Yan.
Mother Jiang quickly prepared the noodles and laid three eggs for each person.
"Nannan, go get Shengzi to serve the noodles. Such a big boy is just waiting to eat."
When Jiang's mother was picking noodles, Xu Zhiyi was right beside her, but she didn't even call her Xu Zhiyi.
"It's okay, Mom, I'll take it."
"Go slowly, be careful of the burns." Jiang's mother still thought she was a child who could do nothing.
His eyes were always on her.
After seeing that she was really steady, he withdrew his gaze.
The noodles were on the table. After Xu Sheng cleaned up, he quietly opened the door and saw that there were many people in the living room, so he dared to come out.
"Come on! Come on and eat noodles. I didn't expect you to come back so late. Let Lao Xu go to the market early tomorrow morning to queue up and buy meat and vegetables so we can have a good meal." Jiang's mother said.
"Okay, I'll buy it tomorrow." Xu Hai nodded.
Jiang Mei takes care of most of the things at home, and Xu Hai is responsible for the execution.
In the Xu family, the man is the breadwinner outside the home and the woman is the homemaker. Jiang Mei has the final say on small matters, and big matters are discussed together.
Xu Hai is not a male chauvinist. When it comes to his children, he actually favors his daughter more than his son.
Jiang's mother favors her second daughter more, and the eldest and third daughters in the family will not say anything. Although they may argue, their feelings remain.
"Thank you, auntie. Sorry for bothering you." Pei Yan was not pretentious. After all the trouble in the afternoon, he was really hungry.
Pei Yan already felt very good. Although Xu's parents were not very enthusiastic about him, they really treated him as a guest.
Pei Yan wondered if he might not be able to enter the Xu family's gate.
Mr. Xu said a lot, the Xu family dotes on Xu Zhiyi the most.
Since I was a child, I have had everything I wanted.
"Xiao Pei, this is my only cooking skill. Are you used to it?" asked Jiang's mother.
