Chapter 10, the mother who makes one burst into laughter
Is this family all so peculiar
Aunt... I... I am fine, please sit down and eat.
"Look at you, girl, your words are as sweet as honey, it's making me blush to the point of embarrassment." After saying this, she really did slightly redden her face
However, Ding Huangshuo merely twitched the corner of his mouth, and when he looked at Chai Shu, a strong hint of ambiguity flashed in his eyes
She has always been quite straightforward in her speech, merely expressing her true thoughts, yet unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Ding's mother squinted her eyes into a crescent shape
"Girl, what is your name? How old are you this year?" Ding Mu, seeing that the bowl in Chai Shu's hands seemed truly unable to hold any more food, finally stopped her actions and asked curiously
Upon noticing that the person was no longer in sight, Ding Mu hurriedly called out from behind: "You rascal, are you deliberately preventing the girl from having her meal?"
Ding Mu gazed at the two individuals descending the stairs, yet her thoughts were immersed in a beautiful illusion. It was as if she were surrounded by her obedient grandchildren, who were incessantly calling out to her, "Grandma." It was not until she heard a gentle, soft call that she came back to her senses
Having reached the legal age, there is no issue with getting married. However, what if I haven't graduated yet? What is there to be afraid of? Aren't there university students who are getting married and having children now? As long as the age requirement is met, nothing else is a problem
Aunt, how do you maintain yourself? When you just walked in, I thought you were either Sister or Younger Sister Huangshuo, haha. You look much younger than my mom. Chai Shu listened to Ding's mother very naturally and gently, and couldn't help but express what was in her heart.
What?" Chai Shu raised his head in confusion, not understanding what this aunt was saying
On Dingmuzui, her face and eyes were filled with an unmistakable smile. "Girl, are you planning to have a Chinese-style or a Western-style one?"
When visiting the in-laws, one cannot go empty-handed, can one
Is it 20 already?" Ding Mu muttered to herself, repeating the phrase.
to eat everything clean? This aunt's imagination...
If it weren't for her sneaking along this time and launching a surprise attack, I would probably still be kept in the dark
Cough cough cough ... ... Chai Shu was just one breath away from choking. She did not dare to move the chopsticks in her hand, fearing that even taking a single bite could lead to the possibility of choking to death.
Look at this daughter-in-law, so fresh and lovely, just like a cute doll, how wonderful it would be if the future grandchildren were just as adorable
Cough cough cough... Chai Shu was choked by saliva, his face turning completely red
Mother, if you continue to nag like this, be careful that your son might hide her away, preventing you from seeing her
"Good, good, good..." Ding's mother, her face flushed with excitement, repeatedly uttered the word 'good' and nodded her head incessantly
Phew... if only he hadn't had a mouthful of food, otherwise this entire table of dishes would surely have been ruined.
Ding Huangshuo walked behind Chai Shu and gently patted her back, deliberately threatening his mother who was causing trouble. He then bent down and said to Chai Shu, "Shu Shu, isn't your foot hurting? Let me carry you upstairs to apply some medicine." Without waiting for Chai Shu's response, he directly picked her up and carried her upstairs.
The exquisite doll-like face, the sparkling big eyes, combined with her soft and gentle voice, made Ding Mu increasingly delighted as she looked on.
Lifting the bowl for quite a while, Chai Shu was unable to take a bite of food, watching the vegetables in the bowl continuously pile up. A warm voice from a certain mother kept ringing in her ears: "Girl, eat more, look at how thin you are, even Auntie feels sorry for you." In fact, she really wanted to say, eat more so you can give me a chubby grandson, but she was afraid the little girl would feel unhappy, thinking she was only regarded as a tool for having children, so she held back.
This aunt is too enthusiastic; the dishes on the plate are almost all running into her bowl. Are they planning not to eat and let her eat alone? Moreover, she admits that she is small in stature, but she still has quite a bit of flesh all over her body. Compared to this slender and sexy aunt, she seems to appear a bit heavier.
Chai Shu only felt her scalp becoming increasingly numb. Which one should she eat first
Since the girl is living with my son, it is only appropriate for her to meet her future in-laws
A wedding!
Chai Shu maintained her usual charming smile that endeared her to everyone. Under the table, her uninjured foot kicked the man with a warm expression, seizing the moment when Ding's mother was serving dishes, and cast him a pleading glance for help
Chai Shu found this mother to be quite interesting; just a moment ago, she was bold enough to make such shocking remarks about her own son, yet now, after being told a couple of truths, her face has turned red
Forget it, let's leave the food and let them come out to eat by themselves later
She is almost completely overwhelmed by this mother.
Look at my son, he has finally come to his senses. No wonder she arranged so many blind dates; this stubborn boy never went to any. I didn't expect that he had secretly been in a relationship back home all along
Ding Huangshuo watched the interaction between the two with a smile that was as warm as a spring breeze. "Alright, the food is getting cold. Let's talk while we eat. Mom, don't make Shushu stand for too long; she hurt her foot with the back of a knife in the kitchen just now. Don't you feel sorry for her?" After saying this, his gaze fell on Chai Shu's foot, filled with concern.
Hello, Aunt! Chai Shu was placed on the ground and politely greeted Ding Mu.
It was only then that Ding Mu noticed the swollen red area on Chai Shu's instep. She hurriedly stepped forward, helped Chai Shu sit down on the dining chair, and then scolded her own son, saying with some annoyance: "You rascal, why didn't you say anything earlier? Also, why did you let the girl into the kitchen? That girl has already been completely taken advantage of by you, and yet she still has to cook for you? You heartless one!"
It would have been fine if he hadn't said anything, but upon hearing him speak, Ding's mother shot him a glance and said, "You are already so grown up, you will definitely take care of yourself when you are hungry. But look at the girl, her little face has hardly any flesh on it. If she doesn't eat enough, how will she endure your antics at night?"
"Aunt, my name is Chai Shu, I am 20 years old and still in my third year of university," Chai Shu said, sweetly and honestly, dispelling the previous awkwardness. Although she felt a bit uncomfortable with such a special elder, she could sense the genuine kindness the other party had towards her
Heavens, let a thunder strike down, and let it first strike myself!
Chai Shu thought it made sense; after all, he had injured his foot, and this fellow bore some responsibility. He might as well give him a chance to make amends.
She tidied up the table neatly, and Ding's mother, in stark contrast to her previous smile, reached into her bag and pulled out a phone. She dialed a few numbers, her demeanor instantly turning cold and authoritative: "Ling Kong, quickly help me find the information on the parents of the girl named Chai Shu and her picture book!"
This little rascal, I will settle the score with him later
Ding Mu untied her apron, intending to go upstairs to call the young couple she had in mind down for dinner. Just then, she saw her son coming down with a shy little girl in his arms, and the joy in her heart was beyond words; her smile had not faded since the moment she first laid eyes on Chai Shu.
Ding Huangshuo looked at his mother's attentive demeanor, seemingly unwilling to stop. He put down his chopsticks and deliberately said in a sour tone: "Mom, are you planning to forget your son once you have a daughter-in-law? Look, my bowl is empty; why won't you serve me some dishes?"
No matter what is said, we are all family, so there is no need to be so polite. Anyway, I have nothing to do; I have been accustomed to serving them, father and son, for a lifetime, so doing a little more is no big deal.
After answering the phone, Ding's mother looked upstairs with a joyful expression, chuckled softly, and gracefully stepped out the door with her bag in hand
"Oh dear, girl, what happened?" Ding's mother quickly used her hand to help Chai Shun catch her breath
After speaking, she turned her head and thought, how has this son changed so much, wiping his feet while eating? It's surprising that he could think of such a thing
The two individuals, understanding each other's intentions, simply fell silent and refrained from any eye contact, let alone daring to utter another word
"Aunt, I am truly sorry for making you cook after you traveled such a long distance. I really feel bad about it," Chai Shu said with a face full of apology.
