Jinan, China.

The sun is setting, there is only a trace of afterglow left in the sky, and in the luxury community, a beautiful woman stands in the golden sunlight, and the shadow under her feet is stretched out.

At this time, the beautiful woman was raising her hand and commanding her son, who was standing in front of the door to paste the couplet: "A little to the left, a little more to the left, yes, that's it, paste, very good." ”

The beautiful woman's words of satisfaction and the couplet attached to the door together announced the end of the small technical work of "pasting couplets", and the young man standing at the table was relieved.

"Mom, you really kept this job for me." Jumping down from the table, Yichen said helplessly.

"Of course, when you become an adult, when is it not the couplet you posted?" Dong Mi'er handed the water cup in her hand to her son and motioned for him to drink some water.

"But tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve." Yichen reminded.

"Isn't it yet night? Who told you to come back so late? You should ask your club for a leave of absence, come back early, and then release you, and those who don't know think you've entered a juvenile detention center. Dong Mi'er changed her usual image of a gentle mother and complained.

In the past, she didn't have much concern about her son going to college, but since she went to the international club called the rookie, she has been thinking about her son every day, for fear that he will be injured.

In the half month near the New Year, she complained to her lover basically every day, complaining about why the broken club didn't give her son a holiday, in addition, she also tried to get her lover to contact the club to see if she could let her son come back early.

There is no one who is a mother who does not break her heart for her son.

"Mom, in your eyes, is your son so unbearable? It's all to the point of going to a juvenile detention center. "Yichen wants to cry without tears.

"Don't be poor here, if it weren't for the current airport New Year's normal work, see how you come back. After the year, don't go at all, that club doesn't teach people well all day long, what kind of extreme sports do you play, isn't it good to live in peace and stability? As soon as she mentioned that club, Dong Mi'er became angry.

Yichen smiled, scratched his head, and whispered, "Mom, have you noticed that you have become ...... recently?" Grumpy? ”

By the end, his voice was noticeably quieter.

It's a pity that although the voice was small, it was still heard by Dong Mi'er.

Hearing her son say that she was irritable, Dong Mi'er was suddenly unhappy, took two steps forward, and twisted her son's ear: "Learn to dislike your mother, right?" ”

"Don't dare, Mom, it hurts, it hurts, I mean...... Grumpy...... Easy to ...... on the skin Not good, you have to ...... Pay more attention, or you'll get old...... It's not good-looking. Yichen shouted and begged for mercy.

"Hmph." Although she knew that her son said this in order to "survive", Dong Mi'er still let go of her hand, one was that she just wanted to teach this little guy a little lesson, and she was not really angry, and the other was that she was really afraid that what her son said was true - anger is not good for the skin.

Women are born with a love of beauty, and she is no exception.

Yichen rubbed his ears, lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly, he seemed to have made his mother angry again.

He knew that his mother's temporary irritability was because he came back too late, and it would make people anxious when his concern reached a certain level, but he had no choice but to come back early, at that time he was still fighting with the palace as a "god".

Compared with previous years, this year's home is obviously a lot more deserted, the grandparents and grandparents who have moved here at this time in the past have not come this year, and the four old people have traveled around the world, and this morning they just arrived in Norway, the "country of ten thousand islands" in the western part of Scandinavia, and they can only celebrate the Spring Festival through video.

It seems that this year, only he is at home with his parents, Yichen thought.

"I went to your Uncle Ai's house the day before yesterday, and I heard your Uncle Ai say that Ai Xue also came back in the past two days, and you can go there later, see if there is anyone who needs help, and if there is, I will help your Uncle Ai." Dong Mi'er glanced at Ai Xue's house and began to give her son a task.

She said it very casually, but if she was a senior matchmaker, she could hear the vague meaning of matchmaking in her words at the first time.

Of course, the matchmaker will not and cannot be the father of Yichen and Ai Xue.

Yichen didn't know what his mother was thinking, and when he heard that he wanted to go to Ai Xue's house, he immediately came to his senses, straightened his waist and said, "No problem, I promise to complete the task." ”

He was still thinking about what reason he could go to Ai Xue's house just now, after all, tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is not good to rush over at this time. Well, now that my mother has spoken, he can be regarded as having a valid reason.

"Before you go, move the table into the house, such a big person, you still have to stand on the table when you paste couplets." Dong Mi'er took the water cup from her son's hand and walked towards the house, "By the way, I will also paste a couplet on the back garden and stick it on the wooden door." ”

Watching his mother walk into the house, Yichen raised his eyebrows, touched his nose, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Mom, this really has an opinion on my son." ”

As he spoke, he looked up at the door, and then his face showed a bitter look of grievance, this door is almost four meters high, is it wrong to step on the table?

The table was easily moved back into the house, and it took another five minutes to put couplets on the wooden door in the garden behind the house, and finally another five minutes to conduct a "self-inspection" of clothing.

Before going out, Yichen looked in the mirror, styled his hair with clay, and raised his head with satisfaction: "It's also a human dog, let's go!" ”

It is a neighbor with Ai Xue's family, so the distance is not far, only nearly 100 meters, when Yichen came to Ai Xue's house, the door has already been pasted with couplets, and the red lanterns are also decorated, and the whole looks very festive.

Looking at the familiar house, thinking about the familiar girl in the room, Yichen suddenly felt a little nervous, he didn't contact Ai Xue when he came back yesterday, but he couldn't contact the other party at all, he didn't answer the phone, he didn't reply to the message, if he didn't know that Ai Xue was at home, he really thought that someone was missing again.

With a slight nervousness, Yichen rang the doorbell.

A few seconds later, the door opened, revealing a beautiful woman in dark blue loungewear with a layer of flour on her fair hands.

"Xiao Chen is here." Before opening the door, I could see the person through the electronic monitor, and the beautiful woman smiled kindly, and she was very happy to have arrived.

"Aunt Fang, Happy New Year." Yichen said with a smile that the woman in front of him was Ai Xue's mother Fang Qing, a middle-aged mother who was the same age as her mother but also looked young.

"Happy New Year, come on in." Fang Qing said as she let Yichen in.

In the living room, which is decorated as festively as outside, there are a full set of tools for making dumplings such as panels, rolling pins, and basins on the marble coffee table, and a middle-aged man with extraordinary bearing and a beautiful young girl are sitting on the sofa making dumplings with a smile and a smile, and wonderful sketches are playing on the LCD TV.

"Yichen is here." Seeing Yichen, the middle-aged man put down a freshly wrapped dumpling and greeted him with a smile.

"Uncle Ai." Yichen said politely, as he spoke, he peeked at the girl, but the girl restrained her smile and turned her gaze to the TV when he came, ignoring him.

The girl is Ai Xue, and the middle-aged man is Ai Xue's father, Ai Wen.

A man who is also successful but is more good at taking care of the family than his father, Yichen commented on Ai Xue's father.

No, it should be a man who is equally successful but cares more about his children than his father, but in the next second, when he realized that his father did not care about his family, but completely put his concern for his family on his mother, he couldn't help but have a frustration in his heart that he would rather be a woman than a man.

"Come on, come and sit." Uncle Ai pointed to the sofa, waited for Yichen to sit down, and asked, "Where are your parents?" ”

"It's all at home, my dad is making dumplings, my mom and I just finished pasting couplets, and my mom asked me to come over to see if Uncle Ai needs help here." Yichen said solemnly.

Since establishing a relationship with Ai Xue, he found that he had no more relaxation and ease when he came to Ai Xue's house again.

"What's there to help with? Uncle doesn't need help here, you can come and play, uncle and your aunt will be very happy. Evan tried not to look at Yichen to avoid making him nervous.

From Yichen's action on the sofa, Ai Wen could see Yichen's restraint, but this was also expected by him, how many boys were not nervous when they saw their prospective father-in-law and mother-in-law?

The affairs of the two children of Yichen and Ai Xue are not only known to the Yitianzheng couple, but also to the Ai Wen couple, but the adults of the two families have maintained a tacit understanding, that is, the children's affairs are handled by the children themselves.

The tacit understanding of the two adults undoubtedly created a very good love environment for the two children, at least without the intervention of adults, and the two children would not be too embarrassed to meet.

The adults of the two families believe that the children, who are already adults, will take care of their own affairs, and all they have to do is give the children enough space, and when the time comes, the children will naturally tell them.

At that time, whether the result is good or not, the children will not regret it.

Finding that his daughter had been staring at the TV as if she was cut off from the world, Ai Wen said, "Xiaoxue, Yichen is here, why don't you speak?" ”

"Say what? Enough has been said before. Ai Xue put down the half-wrapped dumplings, patted off the flour on her hands, got up and walked upstairs with a pair of white long legs under her shorts, her long black hair that was not completely dry swaying slightly behind her back.

"This kid is really ignorant." Uncle Ai shook his head and said helplessly.

He was happy just now, but he was not happy as soon as Chen came, as a father and a father who took care of his family, Ai Wen could see at a glance from his daughter's reaction that the two children might have a conflict.

He is Ai Xue's father, so naturally he can't say things like "it was okay just now" at this time, otherwise wouldn't it give Yichen a feeling of "your arrival made my daughter unhappy".

In his opinion, it is normal for children to have contradictions, solve contradictions if there are contradictions, and the cold war between the two sides escalates the contradictions, which is the most wrong way, so the first time, he said that Ai Xue was ignorant and took the fault on his daughter.

Fang Qing was quite emotional in her heart, the two children had a lot of conflicts, but that happened when they were children, when they grew up, they were very familiar with each other, and there were few contradictions, but now, because of love, there are more contradictions between the two.

Love is such a strange thing.

She still clearly remembers that one night Ai Xue came back crying, and later learned that it was because Yichen was going abroad to join the club.

At that time, the only people who knew about the relationship between the two children were the Yi Tianzheng couple. If Fang Qing knew, he would definitely make a hard note to this "future son-in-law" who had always had a very good impression but made his daughter cry.

How can anyone leave his girlfriend behind and go abroad to play as soon as he confirms his relationship? This is a seriously unqualified boyfriend! If she knew the cause and effect of her daughter's crying, Fang Qing would definitely make such an evaluation of herself, the "future son-in-law".

"No, no, I upset her the other day." Yichen hurriedly said to his father-in-law, who was talking very casually, as if he was really talking as a partner who had played with Ai Xue since childhood.

If he knew what was going on in his father-in-law's heart, and knew that the secret he was hiding was no longer a secret, Yichen would probably blush to the neck and bang his head against the wall to relieve the embarrassment.

To Yichen's words, the corners of Ai Wen's mouth curved slightly, and he said that his desire to survive was quite strong.

After chatting for another five or six minutes, seeing that Yichen was absent-minded, Ai Wen smiled a little playfully and said "living room eviction order": "Go upstairs and take a look, you haven't come down for so long, it is estimated that Nizi is not very angry with you." ”

Yichen was pardoned, left the living room, and went upstairs step by step.
