Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

This made Tong Yousheng's parents, who were of ordinary temperament and background, feel puzzled, because Ye Chuan's parents did not seem to have a special background. "Uncle and aunt, this gift is nothing, just a little token of my appreciation." Ye Chuan said sincerely, expressing his feelings.

Looking at the gifts on the table, Wang Yuxiu nodded secretly. For an ordinary family to be able to make such careful preparations, it must have taken a lot of effort.

Moreover, even if the other party brought precious gifts, he did not take credit for it, which was enough to show his good upbringing.

Wang Yuxiu, who was originally hesitant about her daughter's partner, gradually began to appreciate Ye Chuan after meeting him.

After a brief conversation with the guest, Tong Yousheng went to the kitchen to busy himself, leaving Wang Yuxiu to stay and continue the conversation.

She did not expect Ye Chuan to have received a high level of education, but during the conversation she discovered that Ye Chuan was actually quite knowledgeable. "Ye Chuan, what is your education level?" Wang Yuxiu asked with a hint of curiosity.

Ye Chuan said honestly: "Auntie, after graduating from high school, I failed to enter the ideal university, so I chose to stay at home and wait for job assignment."

Wang Yuxiu nodded to show her understanding. Although her high school education was barely qualified, it would be ideal if she could get into a university, even a technical college would be good. "Yaoyao said you work at a recycling company? That job must be very tiring, right?"

"It's not that hard. The work is relatively leisurely, with a lot of free time and no one to restrict me. I often read a book to be lazy." Ye Chuan's words were very frank. "You also like reading?" Wang Yuxiu's eyes lit up: "What kind of books do you like?"

"It covers a wide range of topics, including astronomy, geography, history, and poetry. Although I haven't delved into it in depth, I have dabbled in it just to appreciate its fun."

Wang Yuxiu smiled and said, "Do you like poetry, too? Which poet's work do you like best?"

Ye Chuan pondered for a moment and said, "I don't have a preference for poets. Li Bai, Du Fu, Su Shi, Li Shangyin and Lu You all have their own characteristics. I read their poems."

Wang Yuxiu smiled gently: "Du Fu's poems mostly convey deep feelings of compassion for the world, but I like his poems more for their romantic feelings.

For example, poems like "I heard that Jibei was taken back from outside the sword, and my clothes were soaked with tears when I first heard it" can bring a different kind of emotion even when they are joyful. "

Tong Yao, who was listening on the side, drank tea in silence. She understood Ye Chuan's cultural background and expected that her mother would be surprised to see this scene.

Ye Chuan sighed inwardly, this didn't look like a son-in-law meeting his mother-in-law at all, it looked more like an interview or an assessment.

He said to Wang Yuxiu: “When I first heard this poem, it was indeed touching, but Du Fu’s poem also showed wild emotions, such as singing in the daytime and drinking, and returning home with youth as a companion.

Immediately take a boat through Ba Gorge to Wu Gorge, and then head south to Xiangyang and Luoyang. "

Wang Yuxiu nodded in agreement. “Yes, Du Fu’s poems are not very lively. What people often remember are his lines that reveal the disparity between the rich and the poor—poems like “The rich have wine and meat, while the poor freeze to death on the streets.”

Ye Chuan thought to himself that there were many more, but he remained calm on the surface. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Although Du Fu's poems are sentimental, there are also many bright and lively works, such as the scene of spring rain moistening everything and resurrecting everything." He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. "After the spring thunder, two orioles sang in the green willows, and a line of egrets flew into the blue sky; the moisture and gentleness after the spring rain, such as the good rain knows when to fall in spring, are all famous poems handed down from generation to generation. Whether it is the sincerity of the flower path that has never been swept by guests, the hope of plum blossoms blooming on the snowy bank, or the feeling of traveling in the good spring in Bashan, they can all make people linger."

Ye Chuan's endless talk filled Wang Yuxiu with endless surprise.

If she wasn't over 40, she would almost want to stay and enjoy this moment.

Tong Yao looked at Ye Chuan quietly, her eyes full of admiration.

In him, she saw romance, gentleness and extraordinary charm, the typical image of a prince charming.

I sighed and said, "Xiaoye, I didn't expect that you have such a thorough understanding of poetry."

"You're too kind. It's just my superficial understanding." Ye Chuan said modestly.

The following topic became much more relaxed and pleasant, and Wang Yuxiu also became more friendly.

Ye Chuan understood that he had successfully passed this "test" and that his mother-in-law would no longer oppose their affairs in the future.

As his thoughts flew, he couldn't help but grab Tong Yao's hand and gently rubbed it in his palm.

This action frightened Tong Yao. She never thought that Ye Chuan would be so bold in front of his mother and directly hold her hand.

Wang Yuxiuqing coughed and felt a little envious that her daughter could find such a soul mate.

Compared to her husband, this young man is obviously more passionate and knows how to enjoy life. "Xiao Ye, it seems like you only have one child in your family, right?"

Wang Yuxiu asked curiously, nowadays, only children are rare, and most families have three or four children. "After my mother gave birth to me, her health was not good, so she didn't have any more children."

Wang Yuxiu nodded slightly and then asked: "Then how big is your house?"

Ye Chuan looked at Tong Yao and replied with a smile: "Auntie Wang, our house has two bedrooms, both of which are not small. Yaoyao and I will have plenty of space after we get married in the future."

After hearing this, Tong Yao patted Ye Chuan lightly, blushing and whispering, "Who is asking you about your marriage? You are just talking nonsense."

At this time, Tong Yousheng came in, wearing an apron, and said with a smile: "I just heard you talking about marriage. When do Xiaoye and Yaoyao plan to get married?"

Tong Yao's face turned even redder when she heard her father's casual words.

Ye Chuan responded seriously: "Dad, I think Yaoyao can't be wronged when she gets there, so we plan to renovate the house.

It's September now, so about three months is enough, so how about choosing before the end of the year? "

Before Wang Yuxiu expressed her opinion, Tong Yousheng nodded and said, "Okay, the end of the year is the end of the year, so we have more time."

Yuxiu glanced at her husband. Although she might have had doubts in her heart, she did not refute the proposal, as if she agreed with the time.

Tong Yao had mixed feelings, happy that her parents had not objected, but also shy after their relationship was confirmed.

When talking about bringing Yaoyao home to meet his parents, Ye Chuan said, "Dad, Mom, I want to bring Yaoyao home to meet them next weekend. Is that okay?"

Tong Yousheng immediately responded with a big smile on his face: "No problem, what do you think, Yuxiu?"

Yuxiu secretly complained in her heart (Why is it your opening remark again), but she still cared and reminded him: "Remember to be polite when you go back, Yaoyao, do you hear me?"

Tong Yao nodded obediently: "I know, Mom."

In order to ensure that everyone had food to eat, Tong Yousheng took care of almost all the housework after marriage, and a table full of delicious dishes could be served within an hour.

Ye Chuan also came to the dining table and saw twelve carefully prepared dishes on the table, and a bottle of Moutai liquor he brought next to it.

The Tong family put a lot of effort into preparing today's feast.

Wang Yuxiu got some pork and fish tickets from her mother's home, and added them to her own stock, and managed to put together twelve dishes.

There was no good wine at home, so Yuxiu had to go back to her parents' home to borrow a bottle of Xifeng.

But until now, the wine has not been touched much.

Such a well-fed family has to think hard about this meal, and ordinary families are naturally even more stretched.

Ye Chuan poured a glass for everyone, raised his glass and stood up and said, "I am very grateful for Dad and Mom's tolerance and understanding. I will make sure Yaoyao lives a good life!" He drank the wine in the glass in one breath, and the heat flowed down his throat to his dantian. "Okay, okay." Although Tong Yousheng was not good at speaking, he also smiled and drank his own glass. "Xiao Lin, Yaoyao is the only daughter of our parents. We will leave our daughter to you, don't worry." Wang Yuxiu said, with more trust in Ye Chuan in her eyes.

Although Yaoyao never drinks alcohol, she took the cup and took a sip. Her face immediately turned a faint red, obviously because of the spiciness.

With the help of white wine, the atmosphere gradually became more lively.

With his experience and original conversation skills, Ye Chuan gained more favor from the two elders.

Until the end of the conversation, it seemed that all I owed them was to call me mom and dad in person.

Tong Yao poked Ye Chuan quietly under the table and whispered, "I didn't expect you to be able to do this, you're amazing!"

Ye Chuan was slightly tipsy, and he laughed a little forgetfully: "I am quite capable, just wait and see!"

"How big?" Tong Yao did not understand the double meaning in Ye Chuan's words.

Ye Chuan raised the corners of his lips slyly and looked at the other person intently, "So big and long!" After saying that, he deliberately added a witty remark, causing laughter from those around him.

Ye Chuan originally wanted to leave after lunch, but was unexpectedly kept.

He first played several games of chess with Tong Yousheng, winning each time easily until the other party deliberately gave him a game, and then he stopped with satisfaction.

Then he discussed poetry and essays with Wang Yuxiu until her eyes became red and she let him go. It was already past five in the evening and they had to have dinner together at Tong's house.

The next morning before going to work, Ye Chuan didn't drink a drop of alcohol. He said goodbye and left after breakfast.

It was not until after seven o'clock, when he stepped into the alley of the courtyard, that someone suddenly appeared beside him and pulled him into an empty side alley. Ye Chuan thought he was harassed, and just as he was about to take action, a faint woman's fragrance drifted into his nose.

A soft voice sounded in his ears: "Xiao Ye, it's me, Sister Qin!" He then realized that the person pulling him was Qin Huairu, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

The two of them were pressed tightly together, Qin Huairu's hands were still around his arms, and his body seemed to be able to feel the warmth of her breath.

At this close distance, Ye Chuan squinted his eyes to examine the woman in front of him: no matter her face, skin or figure, she was full of charm.

No wonder Chizhu and Yi Zhonghai were restless as if attracted by a fishy smell.

Looking at Qin Huairu, Ye Chuan asked jokingly: "Qin Huairu? Just say it if you have something to say. Are you leaning so close to me just to take advantage of me?" However, his body showed no sign of retreating, and it was clear that he was trying to take advantage of me.

Qin Huairu didn't expect Ye Chuan to react so easily. She thought he was a novice and would be at a loss when he was so close.
