Fu Weiguo and Ms. Yuan were preparing to eat, and were very happy to see Fu Chen and Liu Meilan coming.
"Meilan, Fu Chen, you probably haven't had dinner yet, come and eat together." Ms. Yuan smiled happily and asked the nanny to cook another dish.
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Don't bother the nanny, let her eat. Fu Chen and I brought some stewed food and bought some scones. There's also tomato and egg soup on the table, which is enough for us to eat."
Liu Meilan was not very hungry because she had a late lunch and a small bucket of ice cream when she got home.
"Okay, I won't let the nanny work any more." Ms. Yuan said with a smile, "Hurry up and sit down to eat."
After Fu Chen and Liu Meilan plated the dishes they brought, they sat at the table.
Fu Weiguo asked: "What are your plans next?"
Fu Chen replied: "Meilan and I will go to my grandparents' house to say goodbye tomorrow morning, and take a plane to Harbin in the afternoon. Meilan will take me to meet my grandparents. After that, we will stay there for two days and then return to Sifang Island."
"We should go and have a look." Fu Weiguo nodded. "What about Professor Xie? Didn't he go to Northeast China?"
Liu Meilan replied: "My mother went to my grandma and grandpa's house with my aunt last month and has not returned yet. My grandma and grandpa are old, and my mother can only stay for a while to accompany the elderly during the summer vacation."
Ms. Yuan praised: "It's great that Professor Xie can do this, even though we are so far apart."
Fu Weiguo nodded: "Fortunately, I am a teacher and have winter and summer vacations. If I were in another profession, I would only be able to communicate through phone calls and letters."
"Yes." Liu Meilan nodded. "In fact, many companies wanted to invite my mother to work there, but she didn't want to. First, she couldn't bear to leave the school where she had worked for many years, and second, private companies didn't have so many vacation days."
Ms. Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, I chose to be a teacher in the music college for this reason. By the way, thank Linghua for me. Her songs are actually very good. Although some people say that the songs are a bit rustic, from my professional perspective, they can lead the trend. If she keeps going, there will be a place for Linghua and her partners in the music world in the future."
"Aunt Yuan, you are an expert in this area. Linghua and her answer are so highly praised now. Linghua will be very happy to know. When Linghua comes to Beijing in the future, I will ask her to visit you."
Ms. Yuan nodded repeatedly. Supporting the younger generation was what she was most willing to do: "Okay, you can call me anytime. Linghua is a smart kid, she's destined to do this."
Chatting about family matters and eating dinner, the atmosphere was very pleasant.
After they finished their meal, they would usually walk around the family compound. Fu Chen chatted with Fu Weiguo and greeted his uncles, while Liu Meilan and Ms. Yuan greeted some aunts and sisters.
"Xiao Yuan, who is this..." an auntie with curly hair asked, looking at Liu Meilan.
Ms. Yuan smiled and explained, "This is my third daughter-in-law, Liu Meilan. She got engaged last month and will be married early next year. Meilan, this is your Aunt Jiang."
Liu Meilan smiled - now she was the mascot that Ms. Yuan showed off: "Hello, Aunt Jiang."
Who doesn’t like a good-looking and sweet-talking kid?
"Hello, Meilan." Aunt Jiang smiled. "I heard from your mother-in-law that your hometown is in the south. Are you adapting well to Beijing?"
Liu Meilan replied: "Except that my lips and skin are a little dry, and I need to apply more lip balm and moisturizer, my mother-in-law has arranged everything properly, and I have no problem adapting. I really like the openness and cheerfulness of Beijing. After becoming a Beijing daughter-in-law, I still have a lot to learn."
Ms. Yuan couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. The fact that her third daughter-in-law could praise others so naturally made her feel comfortable all over.
Aunt Liang nodded: "That proves that you are destined to be with our Jing City and Fu Chen."
Ms. Yuan chuckled and said, "It's a fate with me, too. Whenever I see my third daughter-in-law, I feel especially good."
……
Liu Meilan handled the situation with ease and always responded to the ladies' questions elegantly, which made Ms. Yuan particularly proud.
Her three daughters-in-law are all great.
Looking around, whose daughter-in-law is so filial?
When Li Anna fell in love with someone else and broke off the engagement with Fu Chen, the Fu family lost face. In the family compound, although no one pointed out the criticism in person, Ms. Yuan could feel the criticism from others.
Fortunately, Li Anna fell in love with someone else - that was a bomb, too scary. Now the Qian family has moved away from here because of Li Anna's "bombing".
Ms. Yuan brought the lively, smiling and sweet-talking Liu Meilan with her and won a lot of praise, feeling very happy.
Seeing that it was getting late, Ms. Yuan and Fu Weiguo personally sent them to the gate.
"Aunt Yuan, Uncle Fu, you can go back. We are both adults and will not be in danger." Liu Meilan waved her hand, "When you are free, come to the south to visit me."
Ms. Yuan smiled and said, "Sure, I'll go when I'm free."
Fu Weiguo waved his hand: "Call me back when you get home."
"Yes!" Liu Meilan and Fu Chen agreed.
After seeing them leave, Ms. Yuan and Fu Weiguo turned around and went home.
Ms. Yuan was humming happily and walking briskly.
Fu Weiguo smiled and asked, "Are you so happy?"
"Are you unhappy?" Ms. Yuan asked back.
Fu Weiguo was surprised: "In fact, you personally arranged the two daughters-in-law before, and I didn't see you so happy."
Ms. Yuan chuckled, "That's different. Meilan's temperament is similar to mine. I don't have a daughter, so when I see Meilan, I want to treat her like my own daughter."
Fu Weiguo shook his head and laughed: "You are surprised that Meilan gave you so many beautiful jewelry, right?"
"Humph, you didn't accept it? My mother-in-law didn't accept it? No one else did?" Ms. Yuan rolled her eyes. "The more gifts, the better. The jewelry Meilan gave is really beautiful. The most precious thing is the thought. Even my sister-in-law, who is so strong-willed, can smile now when she sees Meilan."
Fu Weiguo smiled: "That's right. Anyway, I can't count the number of times I've seen my sister-in-law smile so happily. The young couple can discuss things with each other. If they need us, they will naturally ask for our help. If they don't ask us, we shouldn't interfere in their lives."
"I understand!" Ms. Yuan said with emotion, "The first two daughters-in-law have given me a lot of experience."
"Oh?" Fu Weiguo was curious. "What conclusion did you come to? Tell me and analyze it for me."
Ms. Yuan raised her head proudly: "After my son gets married, the most important person is not me as his mother, but his wife who will accompany him to raise children and spend the rest of his life. I want to withdraw from my son's life in a dignified manner and not interfere with them."
Fu Weiguo was astonished: "Oh my! Ms. Yuan is not only a singer now, but also a philosopher. She can actually comprehend such profound life experience."
Ms. Yuan said angrily, "I was talking to you nicely, but you laughed at me. You are such a disgusting person."
