detour

At a glance, Xu You saw Zhuang Shaodong among the crowd waiting for the airport looking around.He is tall and energetic, and he is still the most conspicuous one even if he is mixed in the crowd, not to mention that he still holds such a large bouquet of flowers in his hand.

A black line floated across Xu You's forehead, feeling that the excitement of his reunion had been completely destroyed by this handful of flowers.It's not that he doesn't like Zhuang Shaodong courting him in this way, if he goes home with flowers, he will definitely be very happy.The question is, where is this place? In a public place, with so many eyes watching, is he picking up the flowers when they are handed over?Still not answering?

Xu You simply carried the suitcase and squeezed behind a few fat people to follow the flow.Zhuang Shaodong was still huddled in the crowd and looked in foolishly, not noticing at all that Xu You was less than two meters away from him, and had already sneaked out.Xu You knew Zhuang Shaodong's habits, he was very lazy, he always parked the car at the place closest to the door even though he knew it was not easy to back up when going out, following this rule, he saw Zhuang Shaodong's arrogant little car within a few minutes sports car.

Xu You took out his mobile phone and called Zhuang Shaodong, "Come out quickly, the car is about to be lost."

Zhuang Shaodong was taken aback, "Where are you?"

"Parking lot." Leaning against the car door, Xu You saw Zhuang Shaodong angrily running towards him from a distance, holding the big silly flower in his hand, and he was very glad that he ran fast enough.

"You..." Zhuang Shaodong pointed at him with his mobile phone angrily, a little uncertain whether he really didn't see him or was deliberately playing a prank on him.

Xu You took out the car keys from his trousers pocket, opened the car door and squeezed into the passenger seat, "Hurry up and get in the car and report to me about your progress these days?"

Zhuang Shaodong threw the flowers on the back seat, lay on the window and looked at him, stretched out his hand in a very dissatisfied gesture to pinch him, "I can see, you did it on purpose."

Xu You patted his face, "You look so cute, I saw a little girl next to you secretly taking pictures of you with her mobile phone."

Zhuang Shaodong tilted his head and thought for a while, then asked him suspiciously, "Is there?"

Xu You nodded solemnly.

"I didn't pay attention." Zhuang Shaodong's anger subsided a lot when he interrupted him like this, and he stared at him with a little dissatisfaction, "The plane is late, I've been waiting for you for a long time, look at your performance..."

Xu You couldn't help laughing, and leaned over to give him a quick kiss on the corner of his mouth, "Let's settle the score when we go home."

"Then you wait." Zhuang Shaodong gave him a non-threatening look, and walked around the front of the car and got into the driver's side.In the past few days, he was very worried about serving his mother-in-law, for fear that something would happen that would affect his mother-in-law's opinion of him.Now that the Lord is back, he suddenly felt that the pressure on his shoulders was much lighter.

"Where's my mother?" Xu You lowered the back of the chair a little, and adjusted it comfortably to an angle suitable for taking a nap, planning to take a nap while on the road.

"I'm probably waiting in the store right now." Zhuang Shaodong looked at the time, "I called my mother just now and told them that the plane was delayed."

"Huh?" Xu You just lay down and sat up again, "What was your name just now?"

Zhuang Shaodong rubbed his nose uncomfortably, "It was paid in advance."

Xu You made a false alarm, and lay down resentfully, "I thought my mother had already recognized you..."

Zhuang Shaodong sighed, full of desolation, "In the past few days, my husband has tried his best to please my mother-in-law, and I just lie on the ground every day and ask her to step on my back to get in and out of the car. Salt won't go in."

Xu You squinted at him, "What have you been doing?"

Zhuang Shaodong counted on his fingers, "Invite them to dinner, show them our new house, visit the furniture store, and invite them to watch "Avatar"."

"Huh?" Xu You was startled again, "Avatar?"

Zhuang Shaodong glanced at him very depressingly, "Your sister looked dazzled and smiled, the mother-in-law went out to sit and drink tea after reading the beginning, she said wearing those glasses was very uncomfortable, and the picture was dangling , She felt dizzy and nauseous." Zhuang Shaodong actually hid half a sentence in his stomach. If you are interested, you have to come out to drink tea with your mother-in-law. You can imagine the depression in your heart.

Xu You wanted to laugh, but tried her best to hold back, "Hey, I'll accompany you to see it in two days."

Zhuang Shaodong's expression relaxed a little.

"My mother didn't say anything else?"

"No more." Zhuang Shaodong thought for a while, and then said: "But I think she looks a little preoccupied, maybe she still has some thoughts in her heart. I guess she still needs to talk to you."

Li Minhui has something to talk about, everyone knows that.So after a hearty lunch, Zhuang Shaodong went to the auto parts factory, Huo Ying took her mother to visit the newly built library building in his school, Xu You took Li Minhui for a stroll on the street, and found a teahouse He sat down quietly.

Both mother and son don't know much about tea, and besides, sitting here is not meant to taste tea.Li Minhui absent-mindedly ordered Biluochun and a few snacks, and asked the waiter in the private room to retreat.

Xu You handed the tea that had been folded several times to her mother, and said obediently, "Moisten your throat first."

Li Minhui couldn't help smiling, and sighed again, "I know you are an adult, and your parents won't listen to you anymore, but I still want to have a good talk with you."

Xu You nodded, "I'm listening."

Li Minhui was silent again.

Xu You didn't urge her, and sat obediently opposite her, reminding himself to hold his breath while smelling the fragrance of tea.After all, she is her own mother, so she can say whatever she wants, scold or beat her if she wants.But don't provoke her with words, and you can't give in unconditionally as soon as she cries, as Zhuang Shaodong worried about.

Li Minhui said slowly: "Shaodong took us to see your new house."

"Huh?" Xu You was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that today's conversation would start from the perspective of the house.

"You don't know?" Li Minhui was also taken aback for a moment.

"I know," Xu You hurriedly said, "Shaodong told me that the house just came down. I've been busy all the time, so I haven't visited it yet."

"Oh," Li Minhui turned the teacup in her hand, "Shaodong showed me the real estate certificate, it's your name. Do you know about it?"

"I just found out." Xu You looked at her hesitantly, "He didn't say that beforehand."

Li Minhui nodded, her expression became a bit complicated, "Shaodong has been running around with us these few days, and even took us to that island by boat to go fishing, and your aunt also said to ask for a few more days off , Huo Ying completely played wild."

Xu You pursed his lips and smiled.It seems that Zhuang Shaodong did try his best to please his mother.Well, I can reward you moderately at night...

"I'm an elder, and if I'm taken care of like this, if I say he's not good, others will say I'm not kind." Li Minhui sighed, and looked at the opposite son with some helplessness, "But Yoyo, you have to Understand me, I have prepared to be a mother-in-law since you were born, and I have prepared for you the few pieces of jewelry that your grandma gave me at the bottom of the box."

In fact, there are already signs of loosening in these words.Xu You wanted to laugh but held back, and persuaded in a warm voice: "Mom, you can keep the jewelry for yourself. As for being a mother-in-law...you are still a mother-in-law now, although the daughter-in-law here...well, she is strong a little."

Li Minhui's fingers unconsciously turned the teacup in his hand, and after a long time, a slightly angry expression appeared on his face, "But why am I so unhappy?"

Xu You's heart softened, and she got next to her and gently embraced her shoulder, "Mom."

Li Minhui looked up at him, her eye circles were slightly red, "Let's not talk about gender. Personality, his personality doesn't meet my requirements at all."

Xu You didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Then tell me about your request?"

"People should be honest, simple-minded, and not vain," Li Minhui listed her requirements one by one. "It is best to be able to manage the house and cook—opening a restaurant is not counted!"

Xu You laughed out loud.

Li Minhui looked at him, didn't hold back, and laughed, "Tell me, which one of them meets my requirements?"

Xu You had no choice but to shed bitter tears for Zhuang Shaodong.Although this baby tried his best, he did not meet the mother-in-law's request.Honesty?Simple in heart?It seems that he was not born with that function; doesn't he love vanity?This one can be met, of course he doesn't admire vanity, he himself is vanity; housekeeping?Can you stack the quilt and count as a housekeeper?As for cooking... Xu You would bet that Zhuang Shaodong had never been in the kitchen in his life, except for routine inspections in the sky garden.

Li Minhui asked him persistently, "You said it yourself, you will live your whole life. Do you eat restaurants all your life?"

"You can hire a nanny," Xu You scratched his head, "We're both so busy at work, it's unrealistic to ask anyone to cook every day. Besides, Mom, think about it, girls nowadays are all only children, and each is more delicate than the other. , and have a job, who wants to go home to cook every day? If you really get a daughter-in-law back, maybe it will become your son serving her in the kitchen every day."

Li Minhui frowned.

"Or I bring my daughter-in-law to your house for dinner every day." Xu You recalled what he said, why do you think the words "daughter-in-law" sound so awkward?

Li Minhui looked a little loose.What Xu You said was not unheard of.This is the case at the neighbor's house. The son's family of three come back every day to eat ready-made meals, and they eat and drink for nothing. When they leave, they have to bring the next day's breakfast with them.It is said that they are all only children, and no one knows how to cook, so they can only go back to the homes of the elderly on both sides to eat.If she really wanted to have such a daughter-in-law, to be honest, Li Minhui really didn't want it.

"This child doesn't meet my requirements at all..." Li Minhui sighed, "But I can see his thoughts on you. I really can't find anything wrong with this."

"He is very good to me." Xu You rubbed her shoulders and closed his eyes, "I have lived by myself all these years. I am very tired."

Li Minhui's eyes were red.

"It's impossible for me to find a girl. You and my dad probably won't have any grandchildren anymore. My dad's character... He will definitely not recognize the adopted child."

"Whether you have children, I won't force you." Li Minhui sniffled lightly, "I don't have any idea that children must pass on the family line. All these years, my mother only thinks about you, an unfilial son, who puts her father Mom is going to die of anger, but she never thought about your grievances. It is mom who is sorry for you..."

"Mom, don't talk about this." Xu You shook her shoulders, "It's my fault."

Li Minhui leaned on her son, and closed her eyes tiredly, "Son, I hope you will be happy. Someone will accompany you, and someone will take care of you in your life. Be happy every day."

Xu You's nose suddenly became sore.

"Besides, even if you find a daughter-in-law, it may not meet my requirements. When the time comes, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will not get along, and you will be angry every day..." Li Minhui probably also felt that the word "daughter-in-law" sounds very strange, so she pondered for a while , and sighed again, "You have to live a comfortable life by yourself."

Xu You nodded, "We'll have a good time."

"I'll go back tomorrow." Li Minhui touched his son's face, "I came here just to see how you are doing. In fact, your father knows what I'm doing here, but he just pretends not to know."

Xu You lowered her head, tears streaming down her face.

"Come back sometime. Your father will have to go through that test. No son or daughter will hide their parents' backs on such a big matter. If you get angry again, they are still your own children. Your father will understand."
