The night deepened and the meal was over.
Yu Xia took the car keys and was going to take Song Yan home.
Zhou Fengxia also gave him some specific instructions, asking him to drive slowly and pay attention to safety.
Song Yan stood at the door with a satisfied smile on her face, waving goodbye to Zhou Fengxia, Yu Bai and the others. She was so warm that it seemed as if she had already regarded herself as a member of the Yu family.
Sitting in the passenger seat, the car slowly drove out of the village.
Song Yan turned her head to look at the rapidly receding tree shadows outside the window, with an irrepressible sweet smile on her lips.
The night wind blew in through the half-open car window, blowing her hair and making her feel comfortable.
Tonight's experience was truly wonderful.
It wasn't just because the Yu family's unguarded enthusiasm and harmonious atmosphere made her feel comfortable.
More importantly, before leaving, Zhou Fengxia held her hand and whispered to her privately:
"...As for that house in the county town, once it's settled, it'll be in both your and Xiaoxia's names. As young people, I won't interfere too much in your lives, but I'll make sure everything I need is prepared for you."
Write two names!
Song Yan clearly understood the weight of these words.
This is not a simple material gift, but a solemn recognition, an unreserved acceptance and respect for her as the future daughter-in-law!
She could feel that Zhou Fengxia was not just speaking for show. The sincerity in her eyes, the love for her son, and the importance she extended to her could not be fake.
Compared with those families that need to haggle and calculate the bride price and dowry, the Yu family's simple and direct "valuation" makes her feel more at ease and full of confidence in her future married life.
Thinking of this, Song Yan's mood was as happy as if she had been filled with honey. Even looking at Yu Xia who was driving next to her, she felt that the lines of his profile became more tough and charming.
She couldn't help but hum a light-hearted love song that was popular recently. The tune was a little off, but the joy in her heart was real.
The car drove happily all the way and soon stopped downstairs of Song Yan's house.
"I'm here, go back quickly and be careful on the road."
Song Yan unbuckled her seat belt, turned sideways and smiled at Yu Xia, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes.
"Okay, send me a message when you get home." Yu Xia nodded and looked at her gently.
Song Yan got out of the car and walked briskly towards the building door. As he walked, he took out his cell phone, ready to report to Yu Xia that he was safe.
Her house is on the third floor, and the lights in the living room are still on.
When I opened the door, a faint floral scent hit me in the face.
In the living room, his father, Song Jianguo, was sitting upright on the sofa, his eyes fixed on the evening news on the TV screen, but his gaze was a little vague and it was obvious that he was not paying much attention.
Mother Li Xiumei was on the balcony, holding a small watering can, slowly and carefully watering several pots of orchids, as if they were priceless treasures.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back!"
Song Yan changed her shoes, but the smile on her face still remained, and even her voice was a little sweeter than usual.
"Yeah, I'm back."
Song Jianguo turned his eyes away from the TV, glanced at his daughter, and spoke in a flat tone.
Li Xiumei also came in from the balcony, put down the spray bottle, and asked casually while wiping her hands.
"Have you eaten? They didn't...let you stay?"
The question was asked cautiously, with a subtle hint of inquiry.
Song Yan was stunned for a moment, then she understood her mother's concerns and couldn't help laughing: "Mom, what are you thinking about? I asked Yu Xia to take me back after dinner."
Li Xiumei seemed to be relieved, but then she looked her daughter up and down, her eyes fixed on her obviously happy expression.
In fact, Li Xiumei was already feeling a little nervous as soon as she thought dinner was almost over.
She called Song Yan and asked her indirectly when she would be back, fearing that her daughter was young and shy, and if the other party warmly invited her to stay, she would actually spend the night at the man's house.
It's not that I don't trust my daughter, it's mainly...
She always had a little bit of a knot in her heart towards her future in-laws.
There is really no fault to be found with this young man Yu Xia.
He looks energetic, speaks and acts calmly, and is very kind to his daughter.
But his family...is in the countryside after all.
Li Xiumei does not look down on rural people, but her years of life experience have made her understand that the differences in urban and rural concepts are objective.
She was afraid of Yu Xia's mother. She looked kind but was actually confused and had some old-fashioned ideas.
What if… What if, in order to have a grandchild sooner, or to finalize this marriage, she secretly condones or even encourages the young couple to get pregnant before marriage…
Then, wouldn't my daughter be too passive and at a disadvantage?
This kind of thing was not uncommon in their time or when they heard stories from the older generation.
If it really comes to that, it will be difficult to negotiate any conditions and you will have to accept it. That will be very difficult.
Seeing her daughter so happy and defenseless at the moment, Li Xiumei's worries quietly emerged again.
This girl...could it be that the kid from the Yu family has drugged her into submission?
Look how happy he is, his soul almost flies away!
Song Jianguo frowned slightly, said nothing, picked up the teacup, took a sip of the cold tea silently, but his eyes were always on his daughter.
Li Xiumei was even more nervous, and the thought about whether rural mothers-in-law would "plot" against their daughters-in-law came to her mind again.
"My daughter, you..."
She cleared her throat and was about to speak, intending to ask indirectly what they talked about at Yu's house.
