Chapter 122: Integration
After Lin's mother was discharged from the hospital, Xiao Yining specially accompanied Lin Youan to send her back to her hometown.
Along the way, he drove quietly like a chauffeur.
Lin Youan chatted with his mother about various household matters, and would also lead the topic to Xiao Yining.
But Mother Lin was obviously not used to talking too much with Xiao Yining, and after chatting a few words, she unconsciously changed the topic.
Xiao Yining didn't force it, after all, he couldn't let him chat with Mother Lin enthusiastically now.
At lunchtime, the three of them arrived at their hometown.
Grandma had already prepared a table of meals for them.
At the dinner table, my grandmother was more enthusiastic than Mother Lin, and from time to time she found topics to chat with Xiao Yining.
"Xiao Xiao, if you are free on the weekend in the future, accompany You'an to come back and sit."
"Yes, Grandma."
Although his grandmother's invitation was also polite, for the sake of Lin Youan, he also hoped that he could integrate into the family as soon as possible.
"Mom, Xiao Xiao is starting his own business now, and he is usually busy."
Mother Lin's words extinguished the enthusiasm in Xiao Yining's heart.
The smile on his face quickly became embarrassed.
It seems that the mother-in-law is not very welcome to come often.
Xiao Yining sighed lightly, and just wanted to speak, but saw Mother Lin pick up her soup bowl and serve soup for herself.
This move not only surprised and delighted Xiao Yining, but also surprised Lin Youan and his grandmother.
"You two take care of yourself in X City, you have time to rest, if we miss you, we will call you."
As soon as these words came out, a smile of relief appeared on my grandmother's face.
You guys?
The meaning of this is clear.
Xiao Yining and Lin Youan glanced at each other, and the corners of their mouths raised a smile.
"Yes, yes, I'm an old fool." Grandma waved happily too.
"Xiao Xiao, come, eat vegetables, you've worked hard lately."
Grandma sandwiched a chicken leg and put it in Xiao Yining's bowl, looked at the dishes on the table, and put a piece of pork ribs into his bowl.
Xiao Yining saw that his job bowl was slowly rising, and sent a distress signal to Lin Youan.
Lin Youan held back a smile: "Grandma, Xiao Xiao's bowl can't be put down." โ
"Huh?" Grandma stopped her chopsticks.
Xiao Yining's bowl is sure that he can't put it down, and his stomach definitely can't put it down.
"Mom, how can Xiao Xiao eat so much?" Mother Lin also followed.
"In the past, my grandmother used to clip good food for me to eat, but as soon as you came, my family status declined."
Lin Youan muttered as he picked vegetables from Xiao Yining's bowl into his own bowl.
Grandma laughed embarrassedly.
In the following time, the dinner returned to calm.
Occasionally, my grandmother would share interesting stories about the recent incidents in the neighborhood.
Mother Lin and Lin Youan laughed from time to time, and sometimes discussed with them.
Xiao Yining is like a loyal listener, listening to the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren talk and laugh.
Even though he didn't have much involvement, he felt good about the atmosphere.
Looking at Mother Lin's gradually unfolding smile, Xiao Yining remembered the scene of eating at their house as a child.
At that time, he was very envious of Lin Youan's mother's good cooking.
At that time, he also joked with Lin's mother, hoping to become a family in the future, so that he could eat delicious meals all the time.
"Xiao Xiao, you eat more, you're welcome."
Mother Lin said to Xiao Yining, who was contemplative.
"Okay, Auntie." Xiao Yining continued to eat.
He secretly thought in his heart that the next step was to find an opportunity for the two parents to meet.
As for the meeting between Lin's mother and Lin's father, find a suitable opportunity to test it.
If the two elders can attend their wedding, then Lin Youan will have no regrets in this life.
After lunch, my grandmother sent Lin Youan to accompany my mother to wash the dishes, and she took Xiao Yining to the yard to rest.
"Grandma, did you want to tell me what you wanted to tell me when you asked me to come out?"
Xiao Yining was the first to break the silence.
"Our little Xiao is a smart kid."
Grandma pointed to the chair next to the coffee table and asked Xiao Yining to sit down, sat down on the rocking chair herself, and shook it gently.
"This rocking chair was given to me by Youan's father. It has been with me for many years, when You'an's mother wanted to throw it away, and it was I who insisted again and again to keep it. โ
Xiao Yining was a little puzzled.
"I believe that my son-in-law will not do anything to be sorry for my daughter, but I can't persuade You'an's mother either."
Grandma gently held the armrest of the rocking chair, and there was a faint sadness in her eyes.
"I know they have a fierce quarrel when they meet this time, you say, can they still reconcile?"
Xiao Yining shook his head: "I'm not sure. Uncle never blamed Auntie. Now it's up to Auntie herself. โ
Grandma sighed.
"You'an's mother's personality is too strong. It's not easy to expect her to speak first. โ
Xiao Yining immediately understood the purpose of her grandmother's chat.
It seems that grandma also hopes that You'an's father and mother can release their previous suspicions.
"Uncle he also hopes that his aunt will live well, even if he is no longer a husband and wife, he doesn't want her to live with hatred and resentment for the rest of her life."
Grandma leaned forward with some excitement: "Is this what he meant?" โ
"Yes. My uncle also asked me to tell my aunt that when she wanted to see him one day, she could go to him at any time. โ
Xiao Yining finally told Lin's father's entrustment, although he didn't tell Lin's mother, but he believed that his grandmother would definitely find an opportunity to tell Lin's mother.
"I knew it, I knew ......"
Grandma leaned back in relief and shook it gently, with more comfort on her face.
When Lin Youan came to the courtyard, his grandmother and Xiao Yining had already talked about other people's topics.
Seeing the harmonious scene between the two, Lin Youan's mood also relaxed.
Mom accepted Xiao Yining, and her grandmother seemed to like him very much, and next, the marriage of the two should be put on the agenda.
Xiao Yining has paid so much for her, in the future, let her take good care of him!

Near evening, Xiao Yining and Lin Youan returned to X City.
Tomorrow is Li Wenbo's wedding, and as the best man and bridesmaid, they still have important tasks tonight.
If something goes wrong, the two of them will be permanently blocked by Li Wenbo and Xie Yu.
