Chapter 32 The Old Couple
Wang Xiulan is very tall, at least 1.7 meters.
In those days of scarcity, his height stood out like a crane among chickens.
Chen Yuan's height is largely thanks to the excellent genes he received from Wang Xiulan.
Wang Xiulan is slightly plump and has a kind and gentle face.
She didn't see her son and granddaughter at first.
It wasn't until Chen Youyou shouted that Wang Xiulan's attention was drawn back.
When Wang Xiulan saw who it was, she smiled so much that her eyes narrowed, and replied loudly.
"Oh, my precious granddaughter!"
"Slow down, slow down, don't fall!"
Then, like a whirlwind, Chen Youyou suddenly pounced into Wang Xiulan's arms.
Chen Youyou raised her face, her big eyes blinking rapidly, her cheeks as white as jade, with a rosy glow.
She looks like a pretty doll, and her voice is crisp and sweet.
"grandmother!"
"Grandma, I miss you so much, Grandma!"
As she spoke, Chen Youyou buried her delicate little face in Wang Xiulan's arms once again, and hugged Wang Xiulan's neck tightly with both of her little hands.
This made Wang Xiulan extremely happy.
I like it so much that I don't know how to like it properly.
She picked Chen Youyou up in one go and weighed her in her arms.
"You've gained weight. What did you eat this morning? Why is your tummy still so chubby?"
Chen Youyou chuckled and then counted on her fingers.
"I ate a meat bun, Daddy made it, it was so, so delicious, Grandma! This is the best meat bun Youyou has ever eaten!"
"Really? Then how about you bring some for Grandma to try next time?"
"Okay~"
The grandfather and grandson spoke with their faces close together.
The scene was heartwarming and touching.
Chen Yuan and Su Qingxue arrived shortly after.
To avoid embarrassment, Chen Yuan quickly introduced the person to his mother.
"Mom, this is Su Qingxue, Dad's former student. You should remember her, right?"
Su Qingxue quickly and politely greeted them, her smile exceptionally sweet and lovely.
"Hello, Madam. It's been so many years. Do you still recognize me?"
As Wang Xiulan ushered the two into the house, she said with a smile.
"I don't remember your name, but I remember you as soon as I saw you. You were pretty in high school, and you're even prettier now that you're in college."
"How come you're so beautiful? Not just me, but anyone, male or female, whoever has seen you once will never forget you."
Su Qingxue looked a little shy.
"Madam, I'm a little embarrassed by what you're saying."
"What's there to be embarrassed about? Come, come in, have you had breakfast? Let me make you some tea."
"Why did you bring so much stuff? This kid is too kind. College students don't earn money. You can come again, but you're not allowed to bring anything else."
Su Qingxue agreed to everything Wang Xiulan said.
After putting the things inside the house.
Chen Yuan asked, "Mom, where's Dad?"
"Your dad went to get the chicken."
"Huh, what chicken? Why do we have to go get it?"
Wang Xiulan said, "It was your father who ordered it. He said the chicken was exceptionally good, a free-range rooster, not a factory-farmed chicken."
"As soon as you said you were coming back this weekend, your dad immediately had someone order it, and he just went out to pick it up."
Chen Youyou looked up and asked.
"Grandma, what's a rooster that runs wild in the mountains?"
"Well, 'running the mountain' means that this rooster is very active and runs all over the mountains and fields. This makes the rooster strong and healthy, all meat, and it tastes especially good."
Chen Youyou's lips drooped, and she said pitifully.
"Grandma, do we really have to eat it? This rooster is so pitiful."
Wang Xiulan was stunned as soon as she heard these words.
Then Chen Youyou spoke again.
"Grandma, do we really have to eat it? If we eat the rooster, won't its parents be sad?"
Just as Wang Xiulan was caught in a dilemma, unsure of how to answer.
A strong, resonant voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard.
"Honey! Is the child back yet?"
As they were talking.
Chen Da strode in with firm steps.
The wind blew through the few remaining hairs on his head, creating a sense of desolation.
Chen Da is not tall, even shorter than Wang Xiulan.
In recent years, I've gained weight in middle age and developed a potbelly.
All that's missing is a thermos in my hand.
Chen Da was originally carrying a red plastic bag, but when he saw Chen Youyou standing in the middle of the room, he didn't bother to carry the bag anymore and just put it aside.
His serious face suddenly lit up like fireworks, looking incredibly beautiful.
"Youyou! Grandpa's precious granddaughter, come here quickly, let Grandpa have some fun with you!"
Chen Youyou pounced on her.
"Grandpa, Grandpa!"
It's like the Calabash Brothers.
After spending some time cuddling with Chen Youyou, Chen Da finally paid attention to Su Qingxue beside him.
Chen Da and Su Qingxue sat on the sofa chatting, talking about the major Su Qingxue chose after entering university, her current situation, and so on.
When facing Su Qingxue, Chen Da reverted to his usual demeanor as the head of teaching affairs.
It has the air of someone who commands the world.
Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Yuan picked up the groceries and prepared to go inside to cook.
Wang Xiulan followed him into the kitchen.
They also took the red plastic bag inside.
"Luckily, your dad had someone clean up outside, otherwise if he had just brought in a chicken, Youyou definitely wouldn't have let him kill it."
She peeked into the living room and whispered to herself.
"Son, I didn't have the heart to ask when Xiao Su was here earlier, why did you two come back alone? Where's Lin Wei? You can't be so busy with work that you don't even have time to come back for lunch."
While washing the vegetables, Chen Yuan spoke without blushing or skipping a beat.
"She just started working, so it's not convenient for her to take leave. They haven't even decided to hire her yet. If she takes leave, they'll definitely find an excuse to fire her."
"Let's not talk about that. Isn't it good that we're both back?"
Wang Xiulan realized she wouldn't get any answers, so she stopped asking.
Instead, they shifted the topic to Su Qingxue.
"Oh my, how come this child is so good-looking? I think he's no less handsome than those celebrities on TV. Your dad had so many students back then, and this child is truly outstanding."
"I remember your dad mentioning before that Su Qingxue's dad owns a supermarket, and his family is quite well-off. He's also very well-mannered and knowledgeable. I wonder if he has a boyfriend?"
Chen Yuan: Here we go again!
One of the great hobbies of middle-aged women is introducing potential partners to others.
Chen Yuan didn't want to listen, so he reached out and pushed his mother out.
"Alright, alright, hurry up and get out of here. I'll call you when the food is ready."
"No, I still need to make steamed eggs for Youyou!"
"I'll call you when the time comes, so hurry up and leave."
The kitchen was finally quiet again.
Soon, the sounds of cooking filled the kitchen.
Sitting in the living room, Su Qingxue's eyes unconsciously drifted towards the kitchen.
I really want to go in and cook with my senior!
What kind of excuse should I use?
