Chapter 34: Trying a Son-in-law with Wine

The car was driving on the spacious road, and Ms. Xu Jinhua sat in the passenger seat and quietly looked at Yi Zhan, who was holding the steering wheel, with satisfaction in her eyes.

Yi Zhan was full of energy, and he concentrated on driving.

"Xiao Yi, do you know where there is a large supermarket or vegetable market around here?"

"Yes, last time Mengshu took me to a supermarket, the food there is very fresh, let me take you there."

"Hmm." Ms. Xu nodded, "When did you and Mengshu get together?" ”

"Today is our 10th day together. On the morning of Teacher's Day, I confessed to her, and she agreed. Except for the slight upward movement of the corners of her mouth, Yi Zhan's face was not red and her heart was not beating, as if she was just telling a simple little thing.

This expression fell in Ms. Xu's eyes, and she couldn't help but sigh: "Time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, you have all grown up." ”

"Yes, time flies quite quickly, but Auntie still looks as beautiful as she did back then."

"It's sweet in your mouth."

Ms. Xu laughed, and what Yi Zhan said was not entirely a compliment. A few years ago, she was in a very bad mood, her hair was a lot grayer, and her health was not very good, which caused her to look several years older. In recent years, Mengshu often bought her some skin care products and nutritional products, and told her to make more friends.

"Are grandparents okay?"

"It's good. Auntie, do you play Ant Forest? ”

"Play! Mengshu taught me to play, and I have been playing for several years, and I have planted all kinds of shrubs twice. Ms. Xu smiled, "Mengshu's energy is mature at seven twenty, and I steal her every day." In the last few days, she has been exercising quite a lot, and she has stolen a lot from her. ”

Yi Zhan smiled, in order to increase the number of exercise steps, they specially tied their mobile phones to their arms when they ran.

"My grandparents have also learned to play with their smartphones, and now they scan the code to pay even if they go to the shop to buy a bag of salt. Every morning and evening, we take a walk and steal all our energy at regular times. ”

"You really have a heart."

Yi Zhan nodded and said with a smile: "It should be, it should be." ”

Ms. Xu's shopping method coincides with Yizhan's shopping method, both of which are three catties as the standard. Ms. Xu picked three catties of various dishes, and Yi Zhan bagged and priced, and the two cooperated very tacitly, and after a while, the shopping cart was piled up into a mountain.

A little girl with pigtails took her mother's hand and said anxiously, "Mom, let's hurry up, if this uncle and grandmother empty the supermarket, we will starve tonight." ”

The mother, who was being held by the little girl, smiled apologetically at the two of them.

"Okay, let's hurry."

They also smiled and signaled, childish words, let alone such a cute little girl.

The sun is setting, and the sky is full of colorful clouds.

"How? My mom didn't embarrass you, did she? As soon as Meng Shu got into Yi Zhan's car, he couldn't wait to ask about today's situation.

Yi Zhan became stubborn for a while, tilted his head and smiled: "If I had a daughter like you who turned her elbow outward, my heart would be cold." ”

"Hmph."

was ridiculed by him like this, and most of Mengshu's worries disappeared at once. But on second thought, how could he say that about her, it was too much. Meng Shu stared ahead and stopped talking.

"I'm kidding." Seeing that she was a little angry, Yi Zhan scraped her cheek with her index finger.

"Are you kidding that? I was worried all day. Mengshu clasped her hands around her chest and puffed out her cheeks, like an angry little pufferfish.

The smile on Yi Zhan's face couldn't help but stiffen, and he opened his mouth for a moment. He thought that Meng Shu would not be worried after seeing the photo he posted, but now that he heard Meng Shu say this, he was very uncomfortable when he laughed just now, and his face suddenly became a little scornful, and he stammered and explained: "Uh...... I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to worry me so much. ”

"You!" Meng Shu turned around, shook his head and said, "Joking should also be divided into occasions!" ”

"Be sure to pay attention in the future."

Yi Zhan started the car.

After the episode of getting into the car, Yi Zhan knew that he was wrong, and on the way back, he tried his best to make up for it. After putting the car on the automatic transmission, whenever the intersection stopped, he would seriously praise her for looking good today, and occasionally Mengshu couldn't stand to say two sentences, so he led the topic to Mengshu's mother and his meeting today.

When the atmosphere between the two eased up, Yi Zhan also drove the car to the parking area of Mengshu's house.

Meng Shu couldn't wait to push the car door and walked quickly to the elevator room.

Yi Zhan parked the car, ran to Meng Shu's side, and grabbed her arm, "Don't go so fast, you won't still be angry with me." ”

"How so?" Meng Shu smiled, "It's just that I haven't seen my mother for a long time, and I want to see her sooner." ”

Yi Zhan scratched her head with her other hand, "The girl is really filial." ”

Mengshu knew in her heart that she was a little afraid to be filial piety, at most she could only touch the word filial piety. For the obsession in her heart, she didn't know how many reasons she found to prevaricate the young talents that her mother had tried her best to introduce.

"Mom."

"Girl."

As soon as the door was opened, Meng Shu threw herself into her mother's arms, enjoying the warmth of her mother's arms unscrupulously, letting her mother caress her long hair.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Yi Zhan couldn't help but think of himself while being happy for Mengshu's mother and daughter. Whether it was in the past or now, he can only see his parents every year during the Chinese New Year. When he was nine years old, because of SARS, neither of them came home to see him.

Born in the Yi family, he has kept in mind the family motto of the Yi family since he was a child, and he can understand the work of his parents, and his grandparents have also given him meticulous care. In the dead of night, only he understands that he still longs for this love that belongs to his parents alone. It's just that you can't be so greedy.

"How can such a big person still look like a child." After a few moments, Ms. Xu let go of her and gently counted her.

"Mom~" Meng Shujiao replied drippingly.

All three laughed.

"Wash your hands and eat!"

Looking at the dishes on the table, lotus root pork rib soup, fried shrimp with snow peas, fried fish noodles, stuffed meat with bitter gourd, cold potato and celery, Meng Shu felt a little sour in her heart, Yi Zhan loves to eat three dishes, and there are only two dishes she loves to eat.

After taking his seat, Yi Zhan's attention was quickly attracted by the wine in front of him. The wine in the glass is amber, transparent, pure and lovely, and with a plum blue ceramic goblet, it looks very pleasing to the eye.

Yi Zhan raised the wine glass on the table and said with a smile: "Auntie has worked hard." ”

Ms. Xu also smiled and clinked glasses with him.

Before the wine was in his mouth, Yi Zhan smelled an attractive aroma, the taste of this time, he had only smelled at his cousin's college banquet.

In the mouth of the wine, the six flavors of freshness, astringency, sourness, bitterness, pungentness and sweetness hit the taste buds directly, just like the love between him and Mengshu for so many years.

In Mengshu's mother's mouth, the taste is the same taste, but what she tastes is watching her daughter's life experience from birth to the present.

"Good wine."

Yi Zhan slurped his tongue, mellow and sweet, with an endless aftertaste.

"Can I try it?" Meng Shu was a little strange from just now, why did Yi Zhan and her mother have wine glasses in front of them, but she didn't?

Mengshu's mother refilled the two wine glasses with a meaningful smile, "The wine we drank today is not the right time for you. ”

Although Meng Shu didn't understand the meaning of her mother's words, she didn't ask anymore and served herself a bowl of lotus root pork rib soup, "Queen Mother, my son respects you, you have worked hard." ”

In Yi Zhan's smile, the mother and daughter clinked glasses.

"Xiao Yi, have you ever been in love for so many years?"

Meng Shu stopped eating vegetables, my mother didn't ask this question very well, if Yi Zhan answered yes, the situation would be a little embarrassing.

"No, I've been waiting for Mengshu."

Hearing the word "no", Meng Shu quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Realizing the meaning of the last six words, her cheeks immediately flushed.

Ms. Xu smiled and picked up the wine glass again, and Yi Zhan hurriedly raised the wine glass.

"We had no choice but to leave like that." Ms. Xu sighed, her eyes full of helplessness and regret.

"Auntie, I can understand. Although we have waited a bit long, we have all grown in these eight years and are now walking together. It's a pity, but that's irrelevant, isn't it? ”

Yi Zhan raised his wine glass, and Mengshu's mother smiled and clinked glasses with him.

"I'll pour you a bar!"

Knowing that Yi Zhan's alcohol consumption is amazing, although his mother's alcohol consumption is good, she definitely can't drink him. Meng Shu took the wine jug in her mother's hand and poured three-quarters of her mother's wine glass, but the wine glass for Yi Zhan was full.

"Xiao Yi, the last time I saw the two of you sitting and eating together, it was in the basement of Lanxian No. 1 Middle School."

"Well, Auntie's cooking skills are becoming more and more perfect."

"If you like to eat, eat more." Ms. Xu sandwiched a piece of pork ribs into Yi Zhan's bowl and said with a smile, "When Mengshu was young, we were all busy doing business, and Brother Li and Sister Li next door to our hometown took her. Sister Li used to be a chef, Mengshu got her seven-point true inheritance, and her cooking skills are far better than mine, many dishes I still learned from her? ”

Yi Zhan smiled, but he felt a lot in his heart, he didn't expect him and Meng Shu to be the same kind of people.

"But I still think my mother's cooking is the best."

Ms. Xu smiled brightly and continued to reminisce about the past: "At that time, Mengshu was in high school, and her grades were able to improve, thanks to you for teaching her. ”

Meng Shu pursed her lips, she was also trying hard to get better.

"What's the matter, Mengshu has always been very serious, and I haven't helped much."

When Ms. Xu talked about Mengshu's participation in the top ten singers on campus to win the championship, Yi Zhan had already drunk no less than eight taels of wine, and she also drank more than half a catty. Although the degree of this wine is not very high, this way of drinking with small sips and multiple glasses makes both of them very drunk.

"Why don't we go and sing!" Yi Zhan suggested loudly.

Mengshu opened her mouth wide, what level does Yi Zhan sing, she is very clear, she has to sing a song to him five times before he can barely find the tune.

"Okay!" Ms. Xu stood up, "Mengshu, you drive Xiao Yi's car and take us there." ”

"Mom," Meng Shu was a little reluctant, "it's so late." ”

"Let's go!" Yi Zhan took her hand and stood up as well.

Meng Shu had no choice but to take them there.
