Fang Yu punched Thor in the arm, her cheeks bulging, "What nonsense are you spouting? It's really awful!"
Thor scratched his mouth with his finger, a hint of embarrassment flashing in his eyes. "It's not a good way to say it."
He then grabbed Fang Yu's shoulders with both hands, "I don't just want to have a relationship with you, I want to live a good life with you and be together forever. Wouldn't it be better if my dad and your mom were together, so our family could be better?"
Fang Yu frowned. "So, your dad knew about this? He was the one who bought the things this morning?"
“I told my dad I had a girlfriend, a really nice girl. I also mentioned that your mom is single now. She’s a beautiful auntie with a great personality. After my mom passed away, my dad dated another auntie who also had a child, but they didn’t get along well. People always think about their own children, so it ended badly. When I told him this, my dad thought it was a good thing.”
Fang Yu was still stunned by this sudden plan.
“Yu Baobao, my dad isn’t an unreliable person. He’ll be good to your mom.”
Fang Yu looked into his sincere yet flustered eyes and said, "I need to ask my mother what she thinks."
Thor reached out and tucked a stray hair behind Fang Yu's ear. "Shall we arrange for my dad and your mom to meet?"
"What's the rush? Let me talk to my mom first."
"Okay, go back and ask him. My dad thought it was a good idea as soon as I mentioned it. As long as your mom approves of my dad, let me take you to my house to meet him now."
"No, no, I'm not going now." Fang Yu shook her head like a rattle-drum.
"It's alright, we'll see each other sooner or later."
“I’m not like you, so bold, and I can talk to my mom about anything.”
"I also want to thank God for the arrangement that allowed me to meet you in the internet cafe, so that your family could contact me if they needed anything. We met your mother before we even started dating. Mainly because your mother is a nice person, I feel like I can talk to her about anything without any pressure."
"And you're shameless." Fang Yu pinched Thor's face. It was God's arrangement, and it was Fang Dongqiang who asked her to go to the internet cafe, which is how she met Thor. She has someone she likes and is in a relationship with, and she hopes that Fang Dongqiang can also meet someone he loves.
Let bygones be bygones, quietly hidden away in the summer night breeze.
Fang Yu returned home, took a shower, and pulled Yu Jihong over to sit on the sofa. "Mom, I have something to tell you."
"Um!"
"Lei Feng's family consisted of only him and his father,"
“Oh,” Yu Jihong thought for a moment, no wonder he rarely mentioned his mother, “His father and mother are divorced, or…”
He said that when he was in junior high school, his mother passed away from illness.
"It's a pitiful child, but it's rare to see him so sensible now." Yu Jihong sighed, her eyes full of heartache.
"He said he wants you to marry his father."
"Huh?" Yu Jihong was also stunned. "This child, him, this?"
"Mom, what are you thinking?" Fang Yu tilted her head and stared at Yu Jihong's face.
"Silly girl, I haven't even met her yet, how can I possibly think what she's thinking?" Yu Jihong said, both amused and exasperated.
"Would you like to meet him?"
"You really want Mom to get married off like that?"
"No, Mom!" Fang Yu hugged Yu Jihong's arm. "Introducing you to Lei Feng's father makes it seem like I have ulterior motives. Lei Feng was such a good person, his father must be alright too, right?"
Yu Jihong listened. She could understand Fang Yu; when deeply in love, she thought everything about Lei Feng was wonderful, and even her family approved of him. She had been through something similar herself.
"Fang Yu, Mom isn't in a hurry. You kids shouldn't be making a fuss or talking nonsense!" Yu Jihong knew very well that Fang Yu and Lei Feng had only been talking for a few days, and the future was still uncertain. Although they hadn't met Lei Feng's father yet, they couldn't be dating right now. If something happened between Lei Feng and Fang Yu, or if they had any unpleasantness while dating, it would affect everyone.
"Mom, is there something you're worried about?"
“Fang Yu, Mom,” Yu Jihong thought for a moment and said, “Your father has been gone for less than two years, I’m not looking for him now.”
Fang Yu nodded. "Okay, I understand."
The next morning, Yu Jihong went to the market to buy groceries. At 4:30 pm, she closed the door and came home to cook dinner. This was the first time she had ever closed the door and come home to cook dinner in the evening.
After getting off work, Fang Yu waited at the kindergarten for Thor to pick her up so they could go home together.
Fang Yu hopped on the motorcycle. "It feels so good to be picked up from get off work! It's like taking my wife home!" Thor started the motorcycle and drove to Fang Yu's house.
Fang Yu, sitting in the back, was also in a good mood. After a long day of work, she was going home to have dinner with her loved one.
"Your mom even locked herself in to cook, which shows how much she values me," Thor said confidently and proudly.
"Yes, we will take it seriously!" Fang Yu replied with a smile.
"Baby Fish, have you told your mom about my dad?"
“I told her, but my mom said my dad has been gone for less than two years, so we're not considering it now.”
"Oh!" Thor fell silent.
Fang Yu took out her key, opened the door, and took out a new pair of plastic slippers from the shoe cabinet for Thor. "My mom specially prepared these for you."
"Thank you for thinking of me, Mother-in-law," Thor said softly with a chuckle.
"My mom's inside. Don't talk nonsense." Fang Yu pushed him.
The aroma of food, steaming hot, wafted through the air. Yu Jihong, wearing an apron and busy in the kitchen, peeked out when she heard the noise. "You're back? Quickly wash your hands, the last dish will be ready soon."
Yu Jihong braised the pig's feet from yesterday and also prepared a whole table of other dishes, showing that she had put a lot of thought into it.
"Auntie, it's just the three of us eating, you're too kind." Thor rubbed his hands together, a little embarrassed.
"No, no, let's eat. You two must be hungry after a long day at work, right? Fang Yu, serve the food."
Lei Shen and Fang Yu didn't mention the matter they had asked about yesterday, and Yu Jihong didn't ask about Lei Shen's family situation either. She just kept putting food on their plates and listened with a smile as Lei Shen told them interesting stories about the factory.
Thor had a sweet tongue and would often praise, "Auntie's cooking is much better than the cafeteria chef's," which made Yu Jihong beam with joy. Fang Yu sat next to her, feeling a warm glow in her heart as she watched the two get along so well.
After dinner, just as Yu Jihong was about to clear the dishes, Lei Shen and Fang Yu stood up and insisted on washing the dishes.
"Auntie, you rest, I'll wash them!" Thor stacked the bowls and carried them to the kitchen sink.
"No, no, how can I let you wash me?"
“Auntie, you’ve cooked, so we’ll wash the dishes. Don’t you have to go to the shop tonight? You go ahead and do your work. Fang Yu and I will have a private chat at home. Don’t worry, I definitely won’t do anything bad, I’ll just chat with her.”
Looking at his serious expression, Yu Jihong couldn't help but laugh. "You silly boy. Okay, I'm going to the shop now."
Thor's frankness put Yu Jihong at ease.
Before leaving, Yu Jihong quietly pulled Fang Yu aside and whispered, "You wash the dishes."
"knew!"
The kitchen tap was running. Thor was washing the dishes, while Fang Yu rinsed them clean and then put them away. The two chatted casually, their soft laughter mingling with the sound of running water, creating a particularly warm atmosphere.
Thor stayed at Fang Yu's house until Yu Jihong was about to return before going back. "I really don't want to leave. I want to stay at your house."
“Your ideas are getting bolder and bolder.” Fang Yu poked his chest.
"I was just thinking about it. I had the desire, but not the guts." Thor lowered his head and pecked her lips. "I'm going back."
