Chapter 36 Old Master Yu
There were only two or three passengers on the bus.
The station announcements echoed clearly in the empty and quiet carriage.
Yu Huan had just settled down when her cell phone rang in her pocket.
I took out my phone. The number wasn't saved in my contacts. I glanced at the location; it was from Changsha.
connected.
The male voice on the other end of the phone sounded particularly hesitant: "Brother Huan, um, I, I'm Xu Hui."
"Oh, Xu Hui, Song Nian told you everything, right?"
"He said that he makes five thousand a month making fried rice with toppings."
"That's right, are you coming or not?"
"Come!"
"Okay, I'll send you the address in a text message later. You can take Songnian's car to the city center tomorrow morning."
"Thank you, Brother Huan."
"No need to thank me, I should be thanking you for saving the day!"
"A rescue? Brother Huan, is this... your shop?"
Yu Huan nodded: "You could say that."
……
Unlike the empty bus that Yu Huan was sitting on.
Mr. and Mrs. Yu were traveling from the city to the county, where it was quite crowded. Fortunately, when they first boarded the bus, there were still empty seats in the back.
The number of passengers increased to the point that it was difficult to even find a place to stand.
Because everyone was wearing heavy winter clothes, the already cramped space became even more crowded.
Teacher Wu turned her head to look out the car window, where the glass was shrouded in a hazy mist, formed by the passengers' breath condensing in the cold air.
"Old Yu, I feel like I'm dreaming!"
"Who says it isn't?"
Old Yu sat on the side closest to the aisle, his upper body swaying with the bumps of the vehicle, his cheeks flushed from the two drinks he had just had.
"Lin Su is my daughter-in-law!" Teacher Wu whispered in Old Yu's ear, trying to hide her voice so that others might overhear.
“I know, I know Lin Su is your daughter-in-law. You’ve mentioned her countless times on the way here!” Old Yu said softly, but then suddenly sighed, “Judging from her family background and personal circumstances, You Rong is too outstanding. I’m really afraid that my son won’t be able to control her in the future.”
"You old man! What nonsense are you talking about! Can't you say something nice!" Teacher Wu pinched his arm hard: "The two of them standing together, they're both so tall, aren't they a good match?"
Old Yu, thick-skinned and unfazed, said without batting an eye: "Isn't it normal for me to worry about my son and fear that he might be wronged?"
"Old Lin and Sister Duan don't seem like strong-willed people to me, so what are you worried about? Besides, they're a young couple living on their own, what kind of grievances could they possibly suffer?"
Old Yu touched his nose and said no more.
The journey was shaky and bumpy, and the number of passengers gradually dwindled.
Upon arriving in town, the elderly couple immediately got out of the car.
Here, the boundaries between city and countryside become blurred, and the architectural styles along the street are diverse, ranging from modern high-rise buildings to low and dilapidated bungalows.
From certain angles, one can still see several acres of fields with only stubble remaining, the water drained, revealing the dark brown soil.
Sparrows often perch on the power lines tethered to the old-fashioned cement poles.
The couple had grown accustomed to this scene of a rural-urban fringe area, having lived there for most of their lives.
It takes another twenty minutes to walk to the village.
Following the newly paved asphalt road from the past few years, you can see your home standing by the roadside in the distance.
It is a two-story self-built house with a sloping roof covered with tiles and small white ceramic tiles on the surface.
The house is about ten years old and looks neither new nor old.
Grandpa Yu was sitting at the entrance of the main room smoking when he saw the couple and said indifferently, "You're back."
"Hey, Dad, we're back," Old Yu replied.
"What exactly did Huanhuan ask you to do? Couldn't you even tell me?" Old Master Yu said, his neck stiff.
Teacher Wu rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Huanhuan recently started dating a girlfriend, and we went to see her."
Grandpa Yu immediately put the cigarette butt in his mouth and took a big drag.
As he slowly exhaled a long string of steam, he beamed with joy: "Huanhuan has a girlfriend? Great, great, isn't she pretty?"
"good!"
Teacher Wu only said this one word. Old Master Yu has always only been willing to live with his youngest son. Under the same roof, one still has to be careful with one's words and actions.
Besides smoking, he also likes to invite friends over, drink a little alcohol, and chat about everything under the sun. The older he gets, the less he can control his tongue.
You absolutely must not tell him about Yu Huan and Lin Su getting their marriage certificate. Don't let him accidentally blurt it out while you're drunk.
As the group chatted at the door, Old Master Yu's third daughter-in-law led a young woman over.
He walked along laughing: "Fourth brother! Yaowen's girlfriend is here. I brought her over to introduce her to everyone."
"Hey, Third Sister-in-law!" Old Yu greeted with a smile, "You're quite a pretty young lady! What's your name?"
"Just call her Ashu!"
Third Sister-in-law smiled and took Ah Shu's hand.
He pulled her forward a step, waved to Grandpa Yu, and said, "This is Yaowen's grandfather. Even though he has been retired for more than ten years, people still jokingly call him Principal Yu. This is Fourth Uncle, and this is Fourth Aunt."
Ashu obediently greeted everyone in turn: "Grandpa, Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt, hello."
"Eh!"
Teacher Wu's eyes swept over Third Sister-in-law, and only when she looked at her did a smile appear in her eyes.
She didn't even greet her third sister-in-law, which clearly indicates that the sisters-in-law don't have a good relationship.
After responding, he turned and went inside: "I'll go make you some tea first."
Old Yu nodded with a smile and hurriedly went to the main room to pull out chairs for the guests to sit on.
After nodding and smiling at Ah Shu, Grandpa Yu asked, "Where's that little devil Yaowen? I haven't seen him."
Third Sister-in-law had already brought her granddaughter-in-law to the door, but Old Master Yu didn't seem as excited as he had to hear that Yu Huan had a girlfriend.
He had five children, and they grew up in large families, with some being closer to him than others.
Moreover, the old man only wanted to live with his youngest son, so he naturally felt closer to this little family.
As Third Sister-in-law sat down in the chair Old Yu had pulled out, she heard Old Master Yu ask her a question and quickly replied, "He's washing the car inside. He'll come over later to take us to town to buy things."
"Come, drink tea!"
Teacher Wu came out carrying a disposable cup in each hand, filled with tea.
Let's give Third Sister-in-law a drink first.
When Ashu stood up and took the money with both hands, Teacher Wu quickly took out a red envelope from his pocket and stuffed it into Ashu's shirt pocket.
"Ah Shu, nice to meet you. Here's a red envelope for you."
Ashu held the teacup in both hands; the cup was very hot, and she couldn't easily flinch away. She could only decline, saying, "Auntie, how could I possibly accept this!"
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, this is your first time visiting our home!"
Grandpa Yu slowly took a drag of his cigarette, and the cigarette butt immediately lit up with a bright orange flame: "This is a gift from your uncle's family to welcome you! Oh, third daughter-in-law, Huanhuan has also found a girlfriend."
"Really?" Third Sister-in-law suddenly said out of the blue, "My Shu graduated from Tongji University!"
His desire to show off was palpable.
"Oh, that's definitely a top student!"
While saying this aloud, Teacher Wu snorted inwardly:
"You Rong University seems to be located in Central South University. Your daughter-in-law graduated from a prestigious university, and so did my daughter-in-law. However, my daughter-in-law is also a big star! I don't know what you're showing off here!"
Of course.
He still had a kind expression on his face.
Third Sister-in-law smiled and said, "Have Huanhuan bring his girlfriend back so we can meet her!"
Hearing what Third Sister-in-law said.
Teacher Wu was taken aback and immediately felt distressed.
But Mr. Yu ignored it.
I say east, you say west; I say catch a dog, you insist on catching a chicken.
There's really nothing I can say to this third daughter-in-law.
Tongji University? It's something else!
His most beloved granddaughter graduated from Wudaokou University with a bachelor's degree and went on a government-funded scholarship to study at Columbia University, a prestigious Ivy League school.
This is what truly brings glory to one's family.
However, his next words made him nod hurriedly: "That's right, bring it back to see."
