Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

Their relationship was approved by their elders, and Yang Zhiyuan was also convinced of Runye's feelings for him.

Therefore, she wanted to bring Runye with her when she went home this time.

Upon meeting him, Runye was stunned by his words.

Take yourself home...

Runye's mind went blank; she was both excited and scared.

"Don't be afraid, my parents have great personalities, they'll be even happier to see you than I am, their son."

"They've been urging us for years, just waiting to meet you, their daughter-in-law."

Chapter 542 An Ordinary Family, No Lies

What does your family do?

Up to now, all Runye knows is that their family lives in Beijing.

Her second aunt had suggested she ask, but Runye felt that the relationship between the two had nothing to do with family.

So I never asked.

Yang Zhiyuan never brought it up, and there was no way to bring it up.

He was also worried about putting too much pressure on Runye.

His girl is a good girl, gentle and kind-hearted, but also fragile and vulnerable.

Zhiyuan was afraid that she would feel pressured and be scared away.

Now, Runye regrets not asking beforehand.

So much so that she was caught off guard and ended up sitting on a northbound train with Zhiyuan.

"my home……"

Yang Zhiyuan thought for a moment and decided it was better to be tactful: "My dad is a cadre and my mom is a worker, just like any other ordinary family."

This ordinary situation made Runye relax a little.

At that moment, she had no idea that her boyfriend's definition of "ordinary" differed from her own understanding of "ordinary."

Fundamentally, they are two different things!

……

At the Beijing Railway Station, Yingzi wore a woolen overcoat and suit pants, her hair neatly combed.

He paced anxiously, constantly peering into the station.

Upon learning that her son was bringing his future daughter-in-law home, Yingzi was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night.

Early in the morning, I took out my most expensive wool coat.

That wasn't all; they also dug out the 'steamer' that Lou Xiao'e had brought from Jiangdao.

Plug in the power and tighten the lid.

The water in the kettle was bubbling and boiling, with a long spout connecting to a showerhead-like nozzle.

Hot steam is sprayed out from here, ironing the coat back and forth.

That earnestness of hers was even more heartwarming than when she got married.

Once everything was tidied up, they immediately urged Yang Jianguo to leave.

At the entrance of the courtyard, the driver sat quietly in a black Volkswagen Santana, a car that Yingzi had specifically asked Li Aimin to arrange.

If the public buses are unreliable, our own cars will always be fine!

So, I arrived at the station more than an hour early, and then it was time to wait and wait with great anticipation.

"The train is rarely on time, so I told you there's no need to rush!"

Look at her, standing on tiptoe with her neck stretched out so long.

Yang Jianguo put his hand on her shoulder and pulled her to his side: "Don't look anymore, she'll come out when she gets there."

“I’m just in a hurry!” Yingzi replied.

Other people's children, even those a few years younger than Zhiyuan, are already old enough to run errands.

All the women in their factory have become grandmothers.

When they start chatting, they talk about what someone's grandson did today, and what someone's grandson ate today.

Whose grandson is clever? Whose grandson has made a fool of himself?

Yingzi couldn't get a word in edgewise, and felt a pang of sadness listening to it.

After much anticipation, we finally received some good news from our son.

Tell me, how could she not be anxious?!

"Okay, okay, I know, I know everything."

"They should be here soon. I'm keeping an eye on them for you!"

As they were talking, Yang Jianguo saw a tall man walking from the door toward the exit.

Wearing a military green overcoat and a Lei Feng hat, he had a serious expression on his face.

Who else could it be but his son?

"Zhiyuan, over here!" Yang Jianguo waved and turned to Yingzi: "Coming, coming out."

"Where? Where?" Yingzi stood on tiptoe and looked around, asking softly, "Have you seen that girl?"

Yang Jianguo nodded quietly: "I saw him. He's very polite and doesn't look like someone special."

"Really? Scholarly families... Scholarly families are good, scholarly families are good."

Yingzi said "good" several times in a row, and her smile became even brighter.

"Dad, Mom." Holding Runye's hand, Yang Zhiyuan came to his parents.

A hint of barely perceptible joy flickered across his usually serious expression.

Yang Zhiyuan turned around and pulled Runye to his side, introducing her: "Dad, Mom, this is Tian Runye, my girlfriend."

"Runye, this is my dad, and this is my mom."

Tian Runye bowed nervously and said, "Hello, Uncle. Hello, Aunt."

"Child, don't be so polite. You're home now, why be so formal with your own family?"

Yingzi went up and took Runye's hand, her eyes full of kindness and gentleness, and said:

"This girl is really beautiful. What incredible luck our Zhiyuan has struck!"

Yang Jianguo smiled silently, letting his wife do as she pleased.

Just like his father, Yang Zhiyuan silently looked at the two most important women in his life.

It felt as if a warm spring was flowing through his heart, allowing him to experience all the goodness and beauty in the world.

This is... so good...

"Alright, let's go home and talk about it. The red armbands will be kicking people out soon."

"Yes, look at me, I was so happy that I forgot. You must be tired from the car ride, come on, let's go home and rest first."

The group walked towards the roadside, Yingzi holding onto Runye's hand tightly, turning back every two steps to look at her with a happy smile.

Runye, who had traveled thousands of miles from her homeland, followed Zhiyuan to the capital.

The hesitation, panic, helplessness, and confusion along the way gradually subsided under this smile.

Yingzi was warm and friendly, treating her like family.

It dispelled all her worries and anxieties, and gave her a sense of family warmth.

But this feeling didn't last long when she saw the cars and drivers on the side of the road.

Yang Jianguo invited everyone to get into the car, and the driver was very respectful and attentive.

Runye, who had just relaxed, was suddenly confused again.

Didn't he say that his family was just an ordinary family?

In Beijing, ordinary families not only can afford to drive a car, but they also need a driver.

Isn't this "ordinary" a little off?!

Sandwiched between Li Ying and Yang Zhiyuan, Runye kept glancing at him, wanting an explanation.

"Dad, why did you send a driver to pick you up?" Yang Zhiyuan understood what she meant, but he was actually quite surprised as well.

Even when Dad is working, he tries to avoid using a car whenever possible.

Why did you specifically send a driver to pick them up today?

It is convenient, but it's not what he expected.

This disrupted his plans, and for a moment he didn't know how to explain it to Runye.

He was also thinking of letting Runye stay a few more days until she got to know her parents better.

Then slowly tell her what the situation is like at home.

To avoid being too abrupt and scaring her away.

But to his surprise, his father gave him a huge surprise.

"It's all because of your mother. She said you took Runye on a two-day car ride and you must be exhausted."

I called your uncle and borrowed his driver and car.

Hearing that the car was borrowed, Runye's tense mood eased slightly.

Every family has a few poor relatives and a few rich relatives.

Just like in their family, her second uncle is the most capable one.

Their family's situation is much better than theirs.

It seems that Zhiyuan's family also has an uncle who is in a much better situation than his.

That's good, then if we ever encounter any difficulties in the future, we'll always have relatives to help each other out.

So, the ordinary family he had told himself before.

I'm not lying!

Chapter 543 The Prospective Daughter-in-Law's Visit: Etiquette

“This is the front yard. The previous residents moved away, so Zhiyuan’s dad and I bought it to use as a guest room for when our family comes to stay.”

"You'll sleep in this room tonight. The big room across the street is where we eat. It needs to be big so there's room for everyone to sit down and eat."

Yingzi from the middle courtyard didn't give much of an introduction, just casually mentioned, "Two old men and old neighbors live here," and didn't say anything else.

Once they reached the backyard, he then introduced her to the main house and the side rooms.

"Akiha, Akiha, are you home?"

"I'm here, oh dear~"

"Zhiyuan is back. He looks stronger, and he's gotten darker, hasn't he?"

“Aunt Qiuye, it’s dark.” Yang Zhiyuan replied.

"Qiuye, this is Zhiyuan's girlfriend. Tian Runye, both of your names have the character 'ye' in them, isn't that fate?"

"Hello, Auntie," Tian Runye said hurriedly.

Ran Qiuye happily pulled her along, praising her profusely: "I liked this girl the moment I saw her. Don't be so polite with your auntie, our two families have known each other for a long time."

"Don't cook tonight. Let Zhuzi and the kids come over for dinner. Let's have a good time."

Yingzi started making arrangements and asked Ran Qiuye for help.

We'll have a nice meal together tonight in the main house's dining room in the front yard.
