Chapter 267 My Mother-in-Law's Fried Eggs Are Too Sweet
He wondered if there was too much sugar in the fried egg tonight, but he forced himself to eat a whole bowl of it. He felt very thirsty, and as soon as he lay down, he got up again to find water.
Hearing the noise, Lin Yuyao put on her clothes and came out to see what was going on. As soon as she turned on the light, she saw him groping around in the room.
He couldn't find the light cord, and there were no streetlights in the countryside at night. Without the moon, the house was pitch black.
When it's pitch black, you have to rely on touch.
Why aren't you sleeping?
Fu Huaiyi turned around and said, "I came to get some water. I remember there was a kettle here."
"I took it to the kitchen. Come with me."
She turned on the lights and led Fu Huaiyi to the kitchen to get some water.
Seeing him drink a large bowl of soup, Lin Yuyao laughed and asked, "Was the food too salty tonight?"
"It's okay, the dishes aren't too salty, but the eggs are too sweet."
She knew exactly how much sugar her mother could put in when cooking poached eggs, and if she was satisfied with her son-in-law, she would just add two more spoonfuls.
"Then why didn't you say anything? And you even drank all the soup."
"Didn't you say the sweeter the better?"
Uh……
"I definitely have to finish it."
Fine, you'll have to suffer the consequences yourself.
"Take the kettle inside your room so you don't have to come out looking for it again."
"I'm taking it with me. What if you want to drink it?"
"We don't drink water at night, so take it with you."
As the two were talking, they saw Ye Lian come out wearing a coat.
"Why aren't you two sleeping? What are you whispering about?"
Lin Yuyao said, "It's nothing, we just came out to find some water."
"Do you both need some water?"
"No, I couldn't find the kettle, so Yao Yao came out to help."
"Oh, I forgot to take the kettle to the main room. Xiao Fu, why don't you take the kettle to your room?"
"Ok."
I drank too much water that night and woke up twice more.
That bowl of sweet soup with poached eggs was incredibly sweet.
……
The next day, Lin Yuyao asked Ye Lian, "Will my elder brother and sister-in-law come back?"
"They're at work right now, so they probably won't have time. But I've already told them that if we reach an agreement with Xiao Fu's family and you're sure you want to get married, they absolutely must come to Nancheng for the wedding banquet."
"Alright then." It's a bit of a shame that I can't see my older brother since I've come all this way.
Fu Huaiyi said he was going to call his family, so Lin Yuyao took him to the brigade leader's house.
The captain's wife was at home, and since she didn't know how, they told them to go and make it themselves.
Fu Huaiyi went inside to make a phone call, while Lin Yuyao chatted with him in the yard.
"Yuyao, I've heard about it. This young man comes from a well-off family and is a good person. The only downside is that he lives too far away. But I remember your Lin Ping also goes to school in Nancheng, right?"
"Yes."
Will he come back after graduation?
"They were assigned jobs by the school and will probably stay in Nancheng to work."
“Oh, that’s great. You can work there and settle down there in the future. If you and your siblings do well, you can help your older brother and sister-in-law move out too. After the old folks in the family pass away, you can bring your parents over. As long as the family is together, it doesn’t matter where you settle down.”
That's what she thought too, but she didn't know if her older brother, sister-in-law, and parents would agree.
However, one thing is certain: they are definitely unwilling right now.
The parents were concerned about their small plot of land and didn't want their eldest brother and sister-in-law to go too far.
Their thinking was also quite traditional; they intended for the eldest son to inherit the family's large brick house.
Not long after Fu Huaiyi finished his call, he came out. Lin Yuyao paid for the call and then left with Fu Huaiyi.
On the way, Fu Huaiyi was preoccupied. He grabbed her arm and suddenly said uneasily, "My grandfather is here."
Lin Yuyao was taken aback. "When?"
"I arrived yesterday and am on my way now, by car."
"Just him alone?"
"Just him and a driver."
Lin Yuyao: “…”
How did he know my home address?
"He asked Lao Wang about it. Didn't you pass the political background check before?"
It's... well.
"Then... what does the old man mean?"
He was preoccupied with this matter, saying, "I don't know either."
This made her very anxious.
She remembered Yi Yunshuo saying that the old man hoped Fu Huaiyi would find someone of equal social standing, so... could the old man be here to stop them?
Lin Yuyao suddenly gave a bitter smile. Whatever, what's meant to happen will happen, and there's no escaping it.
"Don't think about it anymore, come on, I'll take you around."
"it is good."
They are poor here, but the scenery is beautiful.
In April, the mountains and fields are lush and green, and wildflowers bloom everywhere.
The two played until dinnertime before heading back.
Ye Lian asked with a smile, "Did you go out to play?"
"Yes, let's wander around."
"Go visit your grandma this afternoon."
Lin Yuyao: "Going today? I was planning to go tomorrow. If I go in the afternoon, I'll have to leave after sitting for a while."
“Your uncle isn’t home, who will entertain you when you go? Just sit for a while and then leave. The main thing is to take Xiao Fu to see your grandmother.”
"Alright, I'll do as Mother says."
After lunch, Ye Lian took Lin Yuyao and Fu Huaiyi back to her parents' home.
She had originally said she would bring cigarettes and alcohol, but Ye Lian refused, only allowing her to bring pastries, candies, and a box of old ginseng.
These are all foods that old ladies can afford.
Lin Yuyao asked in a low voice, "We brought these for Grandma, I'm afraid Auntie will have some objections."
"Let her have her complaints."
Lin Yuyao: "..." Could it be that she had another fight with her aunt?
"What's going on here?"
Ye Lian curled her lip, snorted, and said, "What's the point of bringing these good cigarettes and wine over there if they just end up in Xu Mei's brothers' mouths?"
Well...it seems like my aunt has this problem.
"The things you took to your maternal grandmother's house last year were taken to Xu Mei's parents' house by your uncle who had just gone out to work.
Ok.
They came out carrying things, and Fu Huaiyi was annoyed that he hadn't prepared in advance, as they had brought things from the south of the city.
While Ye Lian was locking the door behind him, Fu Huaiyi said in a low voice, "You didn't mention that you have a grandmother. I haven't prepared a gift for her. I'm in a hurry to go now, and I don't even have time to go to the city to buy one."
"fine."
Ye Lian locked the door and came out, and Fu Huaiyi didn't say anything more.
It's relatively close to the Ye family's house; you just need to cross a few small hills to get there.
The old lady had heard that Lin Yuyao was coming with her boyfriend, so after lunch she sat on a stool at the door to wait.
I waited for almost an hour before I saw them.
"Mom, are you sitting here sunbathing?" Ye Lian called out to her with a smile.
Because she is a little hard of hearing, the sound has to be louder for her to hear.
"Hey, I'm sitting here sunbathing, it's warm."
The old lady nodded repeatedly, tilting her head to look at Lin Yuyao and Fu Huaiyi behind her.
That tall young man...
"This must be Xiao Fu, right?"
"Yes, this is Yuyao's boyfriend. Mother, what do you think?"
