Chapter 13: They're Family!
There were four people sitting around the small dining table.
Lin Youan and Chen Ping'an's parents talked and laughed, as if they were the real family.
"Xiao An, try this!" Lin Jing specially added a pair of chopsticks to serve Lin You'an.
"It's so delicious, it's definitely the most delicious dish I've ever had!"
In this way, when it comes out of someone else's mouth, it is likely to feel like a compliment or a bit contrived.
However, Lin Youan's sincere expression is difficult to doubt.
Chen Ping'an's parents always had happy smiles on their faces.
"Your uncle has learned from the master of the state banquet, if you like it, you can come here often, and you can order whatever you want!" Lin Jing said with a smile.
"Okay, then you're welcome!" Lin Youan nodded again and again, as if she had never seen a little girl in the world.
"Xiao An, add my contact information, come and send me a message next time!"
"Okay, my mobile phone number is 139......" Lin Youan hurriedly exchanged contact information with Lin Jing.
Chen Ping'an is like a spectator, feeling the unevenness of the world on the side.
"Xiao An, where do you live now? Is it a person or a ...... with your family" Lin Jing hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively.
"You old woman, Xiao An came here for the first time today, why are you asking these things!"
Lin Jing's words were interrupted by Chen Yang.
He felt that it was very inappropriate to ask about this kind of private matter in person.
It is very likely that Chen Ping'an has also understood, and if he wants to know, when the girl leaves, he can ask his son.
"Hey, I'm sorry Xiao An, no one has ever been here at home, just the two of them, I haven't had anyone say a word all year round."
"Moreover, I feel that I can also talk to you, so I ask a lot!" Lin Jing said apologetically.
"It's okay, Auntie, there's nothing to shy away from."
"I'm living alone in a rented house now."
"Actually...... It's a bit inferior, I've been an orphan since I was a child......"
"Ahem!"
Lin Youan's words made Chen Ping'an choke.
Chen Ping'an doesn't know much about her background, but he knows that her father should be very rich and definitely not an orphan!
"What a filial daughter! In order to set closely, I don't even want my father! Chen Ping'an felt in his heart.
"This ...... I'm sorry, Xiao An, Auntie didn't mean to mention this. Lin Jing hurriedly said.
She glanced at Chen Ping'an on the side, and instantly thought of the difficulties she had had in finding her relatives over the years, and at the same time, she was also full of sympathy for Lin Youan.
After all, Chen Ping'an was raised by the Zhou family, and Lin You'an, an orphan, is afraid that he has had a hard time these years.
Thinking about it, Lin Jing couldn't control her tears.
And seeing Lin Jing crying, Lin Youan's emotions also surged up instantly, and the corners of his eyes were also watery.
"Mom, why are you still crying while eating?" Chen Ping'an was a little speechless.
"Yes, don't mention those unhappy things today!"
Lin Jing hurriedly wiped away her tears and looked at Lin Youan again: "Good girl, let's stop crying, those bad days have passed, and they will only be better in the future!" ”
"Uh-huh, it's all gone!" Lin Youan choked for a moment and showed a knowing smile.
It's just that this smile makes people feel even more pity.
"This drama is too much!" Chen Ping'an shook his head and ate by himself.
After a while, Lin Jing and Lin Youan's emotions calmed down a lot.
"Uncle, you are such a good cook, it is more than enough to be a head chef!" Lin Youan began to pat Chen Yang's ass again.
Being praised by others, Chen Yang was naturally happy, but he still said modestly: "This craft is much worse, and I am satisfied if a small restaurant hires me!" ”
"Small restaurant? What restaurant is Uncle in now? Lin Youan asked.
"This ......" Chen Yang hesitated a little, if he told the truth, he was worried about affecting the relationship between Chen Ping'an and Lin Youan.
After all, living in such a shabby place, with no job or income for both parents, is a complete burden in the eyes of others.
He can indeed make up a decent job, but Chen Yang is not a person who is willing to lie.
"For the time being, it hasn't worked yet!"
"I went to apply for a chef at a restaurant today, but I haven't responded yet!" Chen Yang hurriedly added another sentence, proving that he was working hard to find a job and would not become a burden to his children.
"Uncle, I have a friend whose relative runs a hotel, if you want, I can help you ask!"
"This ...... I'm sorry for you! Chen Yang did not refuse, he is now too short of a stable job.
"How can you be troublesome, I came to your house to eat, I am causing you trouble!"
The trio restarted the business mode.
It wasn't until half an hour later that Lin Youan, who had eaten two bowls of rice in a row, burped and put down his chopsticks with satisfaction.
"Auntie, I'll help you wash the dishes!" Seeing Lin Jing get up to clean up, Lin Youan also quickly stood up.
"No, no, it's your first time, how can you let you work?" Lin Jing stopped.
Chen Ping'an was beside him and glanced at his watch: "It's not early, I'll send you back!" ”
"Ping'an, Xiao An is a guest, or is it the first time to come here, how can you drive people away?" Chen Yang frowned.
Chen Ping'an also knew that this was a bit inappropriate, but there were other people's drivers waiting downstairs.
Lin Youan looks harmless to humans and animals, but the strength of the father behind him is absolutely extraordinary.
If the people below are not at ease, come up and investigate.
That is likely to scare your own parents.
Lin Youan also saw Chen Ping'an's thoughts, so he nodded and said, "Yes, it's not early, I have to go back, so I won't disturb my uncle and aunt to rest." ”
"I'm really happy today, I'll definitely come over and disturb when I have time!"
"Don't bother, you're here, we're happier!" Lin Jing put down the plate in his hand, then took out the red envelope prepared in advance from his pocket and stuffed it to Lin Youan.
"Auntie, this is ......" Lin Youan was a little dazed.
"This is our custom, the first time you come here, we don't prepare anything else, this red envelope is our heart, you must accept it!"
"That'...... All right! Lin Youan accepted the red envelope at a loss.
"Ping'an, you go and send Xiao An!" Chen Yang said.
"Well, good!" Chen Ping'an took two coats, draped one for Lin Youan, and then took her out of the house.
And his parents stood at the door reluctantly watching.
