Siheyuan: It’s so nice to be Lao Liu

Ran Qiuye rode all the way home carrying the fruits prepared by He Yuzhu. When she was almost at the door, she saw her parents standing at the door.

Ran Qiuye's heart skipped a beat and he turned to look at the bag behind him, knowing that he would not be able to escape this time.

But thinking about He Yuzhu, she felt that he was a good choice, so she stopped worrying and rode straight home.

"Dad, Mom, why are you standing at the door instead of going into the house?"

Ran Qiuye knew her parents' purpose, but she still pretended to be ignorant and asked.

Ran's father was better. He just looked at Ran Qiuye and the things on her bicycle and didn't say much. But Ran's mother was different. After all, she was a middle school teacher. When she walked to Ran Qiuye, she put a lot of pressure on her.

"Tell me, what did you do today?"

Ran's mother looked serious and asked while staring at Ran Qiuye.

Being stared at by his mother like this, Ran Qiuye couldn't help but feel guilty, and his expression looked a little unnatural.

"I went to a friend's house and came back after dinner." Ran Qiuye calmed his uneasy heart and pretended to speak calmly.

Ran's mother was not so easy to fool. She obviously saw her daughter's guilty conscience and continued to ask, "Are the things in the car also the things your friend gave you?"

Ran Qiuye also smiled awkwardly and explained, "My friend told me to eat it because I like it, so he gave me some extra and asked me to take it home for you to try."

"Dad, please carry the things into the house!"

After hearing what his daughter said, Ran's father didn't say much. He helped take down the snakeskin bag and walked into the house carrying it with difficulty.

Ran Qiuye saw that her mother was determined to get to the bottom of the matter, so she didn't intend to hide it and said to her mother, "A few days ago, a teacher in our school introduced me to a blind date. I was embarrassed to refuse, so I went to meet her today. She seems pretty good."

Ran's mother immediately became concerned and asked, "What's that person's name? Where does he work? What's his education? How many people are there in his family?"

Ran Qiuye couldn't help but roll her eyes at Ran's mother and said, "Mom, you are checking the household registration, and you are asking so many detailed questions."

"What do you mean by checking your household registration? I'm doing this for your own good. You're looking for a partner, so we must ask for the man's information. Although it's not important to be well-matched nowadays, you two must be able to talk to each other and have common topics so that there won't be conflicts in your future life!"

Ran's mother spoke to her daughter in the tone of someone who had experienced it.

Hearing what Ran's mother said, Ran Qiuye couldn't help but laugh out loud as she thought of the scene in the library where He Yuzhu spoke confidently about foreign poets and their foreign masterpieces.

As soon as the laughter came out, Ran Qiuye suddenly felt a little embarrassed and her face turned pink instantly.

"Hey, what good thing did you think of that made my daughter laugh out loud?"

Ran's mother also noticed something strange about Ran Qiuye and couldn't help but tease her.

Hearing his mother's teasing, Ran Qiuye felt even more embarrassed to look at his mother.

After waiting for a while and seeing that Ran Qiuye had returned to normal, Ran's mother urged, "Hurry up and tell me what I just asked. You can't hide it from me."

"His name is He Yuzhu. He is the chef of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. He has a junior high school education. He and his sister are the only ones left in his family. His mother died when she gave birth to him, and his father remarried and no longer cared about them." Ran Qiuye replied.

When Ran Qiuye heard that He Yuzhu was a chef and only had a junior high school education, Ran's mother's face changed instantly and reminded her, "Qiuye, I think you two should just forget about it. He is not suitable for you."

How could a cook with only a junior high school education and an elementary school teacher with only a college degree have common hobbies? Can there be any good results if these two people get together?

So without any hesitation, Ran's mother directly spoke out her objection.

Ran Qiuye was not worried at all because she knew her mother's concerns were for her own good.

When Father Ran saw his daughter's reaction, he thought for a moment and said, "Qiu Ye, do you have anything else to say? What is He Yuzhu like? What are his hobbies?"

Hearing his father ask this, he asked in surprise: "Dad, how do you know he has other hobbies? You are so amazing."

Father Ran rolled his eyes and muttered, "Based on your previous temper, if your mother had rejected you directly, you would have had a fight with her for a while, but this time you looked like you were sure of winning, obviously there is something I don't know."

"Hehe, Dad, you really understand me." Ran Qiuye continued, "I talked to him for the whole morning and found that although he has a low level of education, he has never stopped learning. He has read many foreign classics and can explain the meanings of them clearly."

At this point, he couldn't help but sigh: "Speaking of which, he is already very good. If he and I follow each other, I feel like I can't compare to him now."

"He started learning cooking when he was a teenager. He raised a younger sister, and the neighbors around him wanted to bully him all the time. In such a difficult environment, he not only mastered cooking skills, but also did not forget to study. It's really amazing."

After hearing this, Ran's mother didn't say anything more and just listened to Ran Qiuye talking.

After listening to me, Father Ran was silent for a while and said, "If it's really as you said, it doesn't matter even if he's a great cook. Your mother was just anxious and misunderstood you. How about this, your mother and I don't object. When you have time, bring it back and let us see it."

"it is good!"

Ran Qiuye also laughed happily.

Hearing that his parents no longer objected, he thought of He Yuzhu giving him some fruit and a large piece of meat.

Ran Qiuye ran to the snakeskin bag, opened it, and took out the contents.

"Dad, Mom, this is the durian that He Yuzhu gave me. This is my first time eating durian. I've only seen it in books before, saying that it has a bad smell but the flesh is delicious. It's exactly as the books say." Ran Qiuye said as he moved the durian in front of Ran's father and mother.

Having said that, without waiting for the two to react, she followed the movements He Yuzhu had taught her and directly peeled off the durian skin. The bright yellow flesh appeared in front of the three of them.

"Taste it!"

Ran Qiuye cut a piece of fruit flesh into two halves and gave one to Ran's father and mother.

After eating, the two of them looked at each other. Father Ran said, "Qiuye, durian is indeed delicious, but it is not so easy to get. These fruits may not be available in our country. How can He Yuzhu, a chef in a steel mill, get them?"

"I heard him say that it was given to him by a good brother of his. I don't know the details." Ran Qiuye replied.

Father Ran didn't ask any more questions and nodded to show that he understood.
