Today is Saturday, and Yang Qingxu's birthday is in two days, but he has to go to school then, so Yu Heng asked Yang Qingxu to invite his good friends to go out for lunch to celebrate.
We had a simple lunch at home; the real show was in the afternoon.
"Auntie, I'll make this corn and shrimp dish later. It's one of my specialties." The Xu family had all come over, and Li Fang and her mother-in-law were helping prepare the dishes for dinner in the kitchen.
"Hehe, Fangfang is great at cooking seafood. Let Fangfang cook that Australian lobster later. I dare not cook it, I'm afraid I'll ruin it. Jiaming said that Aheng went to the seafood market early this morning to buy it, and it's very expensive." Grandma Xu said with a smile as she washed the vegetables and chatted with Grandma Yu next to her.
"How can we let you do it? Let Jiaming and Xiao Zhou do it. Xiao Zhou is a very good cook and can make many dishes." Grandma Yu smiled and her eyes crinkled. The old lady liked a lively atmosphere. "You guys, you can tidy up here for a while and then go outside to rest. How can we let our guests work all the time?"
The Xu family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were helping Grandma Yu prepare the dishes in the kitchen, Aunt Zhou was busy serving tea and water to the guests, and Yu Heng, Dong Senyao and Xu Tai were chatting about work outside.
Meanwhile, Grandpa Xu, Xu Hongzhi, and Yu Jiaming were tidying up the garden outside. The Xu family had cleared two vegetable plots in the garden, which Grandma Yu had been eyeing for a long time. Taking advantage of the fact that they all had some free time today, the group casually set them up.
"Auntie, what did Jiaming think about the girl you mentioned before?" Li Fang thought of this again while chatting: "If he had agreed, I would have gone to Wenzhao's house to tell him."
Then Li Fang added in a low voice, "Actually, I also mentioned this to Wen Zhao briefly, and I think she meant that it has a chance!"
Grandma Yu's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she moved closer to Li Fang, whispering, "Is she really willing to do this? Jiaming's leg...?"
"Oh dear, Jiaming's leg injury isn't serious, and it doesn't affect his daily life at all." Li Fang said with an expression that it was all a trivial matter: "With Jiaming's current conditions, what is he lacking?"
"This, this isn't Jiaming's own either!" Grandma Yu said with a disgruntled expression.
“Oh dear! Auntie, at Jiaming’s age, it’s a skill to have a promising younger generation. Don’t you want him to have a companion to support him in the future?” Li Fang advised. Although she was partly doing this to satisfy her hobby of matchmaking, she was genuinely concerned for Yu Jiaming.
"This...this...should I ask Ah Heng?" Grandma Yu couldn't make up her mind, so she thought of her grandson.
Upon hearing this, Li Fang realized that Yu Heng was indeed the one making decisions in the Yu family now, and it would be more practical to ask him.
So when Yu Heng and the others entered the house, they saw that Xu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, as well as Grandma Yu, were all looking at him expectantly.
"What's wrong? Were you waiting for me?" Yu Heng chuckled as he sat down next to Grandma Yu.
Everyone else sat on the sofa, and if there weren't enough sofas, they would bring out a round wooden stool meant for guests and sit down, waiting for the lady of the house to give instructions.
"Oh! This is great news!" Li Fang said to Yu Heng with a happy expression.
"Really? What's the good news?" Yu Heng picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. He was a little thirsty after talking so much.
"Your aunt has introduced your uncle to someone and wants to know your opinion," Grandma Yu explained to Yu Heng.
Yu Heng looked surprised. Why did he need to ask his uncle's opinion when talking about his girlfriend? Shouldn't he ask his uncle?
He turned to ask his uncle, only to see Yu Jiaming blushing and looking down.
Yu Jiaming knew who he was talking to, but he was conflicted and didn't know what to do.
"Is there something wrong with this? I think my uncle is willing?" Yu Heng said hesitantly. He could tell that his uncle was willing, and since his aunt could tell him, the woman's side should also be willing. So what's the problem?
"Oh dear! The person I introduced to your uncle is also from our old neighborhood. We've lived together for so many years, so his character is definitely reliable."
Li Fang quickly explained to him, "Her husband passed away more than ten years ago, and her parents-in-law also passed away a few years ago. She runs a small food stall every day and can support her family without any problem. Moreover, the house she lives in now is purchased and there is no mortgage or anything."
Upon hearing this, Yu Heng realized that the woman's conditions were quite good.
Seeing Yu Heng looking at her with a puzzled expression, Li Fang didn't hide anything and said directly, "That's right, he has a son who went to the army during his freshman year of college and was discharged this year. He's going to continue his studies, so he definitely won't let Jiaming worry about the tuition fees. She just said that she hopes this side can help with her son's wedding in the future."
“But her son also grew up right under our noses; he’s a sensible and filial child.” After saying that, she added, afraid that Yu Heng might overthink it.
“This is to be expected, it’s not a problem.” Yu Heng looked at his uncle, not understanding what the problem was.
“She…I, we’re not a good match!” Yu Jiaming said, head down.
Yu Heng saw that half of his energy and spirit had dissipated after his uncle finished speaking. After thinking for a while, he realized where the problem lay.
Uncle Yu probably felt he couldn't use his money to get married.
Although Yu Heng registered the house and shop under his uncle's name from the beginning, he always felt that they belonged to Yu Heng and he couldn't use them indiscriminately.
He took a liking to Wen Zhao, but gave up on the idea because he felt he lacked the ability to do so.
Seeing the worry creeping onto Grandma Yu's face, Yu Heng said to her, "Grandma, it seems my uncle can't afford to get married. Why don't we marry him off? We can take those two small shops as his dowry. From now on, you can live with me!"
Grandma Yu was shocked, this... this...
"Hahaha, Ah Heng is right!" Grandma Xu laughed loudly from the side, patting Grandma Yu's hand and saying, "Our Ah Heng is capable. Sister, why don't you follow Ah Heng and live a good life? If Jiaming can't find a wife, let him marry into his wife's family!"
The others realized what was happening and teased Uncle Yu mercilessly. Uncle Yu, feeling guilty and tongue-tied, blushed deeply and became withdrawn.
Yu Heng actually strongly approved of the marriage. Judging from Grandma Xu and the others' expressions, they knew the woman's side quite well and had a good impression of them. Uncle Yu also seemed to be getting along very well with her.
He often works away from home, and when his children grow up, they will be like fledgling eagles, spreading their wings and flying far away.
Even if my uncle doesn't find a partner this time, he'll urge him to find one later.
As for helping the other party's son get married, even if we buy him a house, it won't cost much, just two or three years' salary from Aunt Zhou.
Therefore, when faced with Uncle Yu's concerns about this and that, Yu Heng did not hesitate to choose ridicule over comforting him.
"Uncle, please come to my birthday party next time!"
"Uncle, the bar was amazing today!"
Uncle, will you come to our school for New Year's Day?
.........
Before dinner, Yu Heng drove to the bar to pick up Yang Qingxu and the others to go back for dinner.
This afternoon, Yu Heng booked a high-end seafood buffet for Yang Qingxu and his friends, and then booked a bar to satisfy the curiosity of the young men and women, letting them play there all afternoon.
"Get out, get out! Who's your uncle?!" Yang Qingxu said sternly, pushing away the group of friends who were surrounding his uncle.
"Old Yang, why are you like this? Isn't your uncle my uncle too? Right, Uncle?" a male classmate said to Yu Heng with a fawning look.
"That's right, Lao Yang. Our uncle treated us to so much fun today, isn't he my own uncle?"
"Get out of here!"
Watching the boys playfully bickering, Yu Heng smiled silently on the side.
After a noisy farewell, Yang Qingxu rolled down the car window and shouted, "I left money with the class monitor, you all take taxis home, you hear me?"
"I know, I know!"
"Bye-Bye"
"See you tomorrow!"
As Yang Qingxu waved goodbye to his friends, a worried look still lingered on his face.
"Don't worry, I've arranged for people to send them all back one by one," Yu Heng reassured them.
Yang Qingxu was going home to have dinner with his grandmother and the others, while his classmates had had so much fun for the first time that they didn't want to go home so early.
He only relaxed after his uncle said everything was arranged.
The dinner party that evening was a time for family. It was both to celebrate Yang Qingxu's birthday and to confirm Yu Xiaoshu's girlfriend. Everyone was in high spirits and opened several bottles of wine.
After the meal, Dong Senyao sat down and chatted with Xu Jing and Yang Qingxu.
"Being a star is great! I can hang out with your aunt from now on!" When Xu Jing mentioned that he had told Yu Heng that he wanted to be a star, Dong Senyao's mind, which was clouded by alcohol, became confused and he started talking about Chu Anlan.
"Aunt?!" Yang Qingxu's eyes widened. So he had an aunt?
"Auntie!?" My cousin has a wife?
"Huh? No, that's not right. Call him Uncle!" Ignoring the two shocked faces in front of him, Dong Senyao finished speaking and went to sleep.
