Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

On the way back, Chen Xueru was no longer shy as she was in the afternoon, but openly hugged Chen Jun's waist from behind.

The wind was a little chilly at night, but they both felt warm.

"I didn't get my bike back, so I have to walk to the store tomorrow."

At the entrance of the alley, Chen Xueru stared into Chen Jun's eyes, feeling a little expectant and a little nervous.

She was worried that Chen Jun wouldn't understand the hint in her words.

Chen Jun grinned when he heard this, and reached out to pat Chen Xueru on the head: "What a coincidence, there is no work at the factory tomorrow, let's go to Laojiucheng to eat bean juice tomorrow morning to refresh ourselves."

"Go to hell, no decent person would eat that stuff, let's go home." After a pause, Chen Xueru turned around and said, "Go slowly on the way back and be careful."

After saying that, he walked into the alley.

Hey!

I didn’t expect that Chen Xueru had such a feminine side when she was young.

Wow, it’s really a different feeling.

"Xue Ru, where's your bicycle?"

Before Chen Xueru even stepped into the house, she ran into her mother.

"Well, the bicycle was lent to Xiao Liu!" Chen Xueru's face tightened and she spoke without thinking.

"Lend it to Xiao Liu?"

Upon hearing this, Chen's mother couldn't help but frown. The bicycle that Chen Xueru owned was a ladies' bicycle that she had personally selected, and even her father was unwilling to lend it to her before.

What's more, Chen's mother knew Xiao Liu well and it was impossible for her to lend her such a valuable thing.

After all, a bicycle is nothing to the Chen family, but it is different for ordinary employees like Xiao Liu.

Considering that Chen Xueru was walking and jumping when she came back just now, Chen's mother's eyes gradually became playful.

She was an experienced person, and she understood what was going on just by looking at the blush on her daughter's face which had not yet faded.

Thinking of this, Chen's mother pulled Chen Xueru into the house, sat on a chair and asked with a smile: "Xueru has grown up, we don't have to worry about her anymore."

"Quick, tell me who this boy is, and how could he catch the eye of my girl?"

In the past few days, Chen Xueru's family has arranged many blind dates for her, including some young talents, but without exception, she was not liked by any of them.

But no one expected that Chen Xueru would take the initiative to find one, which made Chen's mother very curious.

What kind of guy is this!

"Hey? Mom, how did you know?"

Chen Xueru was not as shy as other little women. Although she was also a little shy, she was more curious about how her mother knew.

She used to meet Chen Jun often. Why didn’t her mother notice it before?

"You are a piece of flesh that fell from my body. How can you hide anything from me?" Seeing Chen Xueru's reaction, Chen's mother became more certain.

"Tell me whose boy he is. I will be happy if you can find a suitable partner to marry."

"What marriage partner? We...are not even boyfriend and girlfriend yet." Chen Xueru curled her lips, seeming a little resentful.

The atmosphere was so good tonight, but that wooden man Chen Jun didn't even know how to express his feelings to me.

Do I have to wait for myself to speak?

But if you say that Chen Jun is a blockhead, Chen Xueru doesn't think so. This boy was quite proactive and bold at night.

Mother Chen couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she saw this.

It was obvious that my daughter was infatuated with that boy, and she even showed some emotions when talking about boyfriend or girlfriend.

"Come on, tell me where this guy is from, what he does, how tall or short is he, how fat or thin is he?"

"Has our Xueru found a partner?"

Before Chen Xueru could answer, a middle-aged man's voice was heard from the room.

"No, not yet a couple!"

Chen Xueru was speechless. She just had a meal and watched a movie with Chen Jun, so why were her parents so excited!

But Chen's father just smiled, pulled over a stool and sat down, watching Chen Xueru's explanation with interest.

Got it!

If I don’t explain everything clearly today, I’m afraid I won’t be able to go back to my room and sleep.

So Chen Xueru told him everything about how she met Chen Jun before, how they gradually became familiar with each other, and finally how they had dinner and watched a movie today.

"Not bad. Although this guy comes from an average family, he is responsible and can handle things. He also cooks delicious food, which is very much to my girl's liking."

When Chen's father heard that Chen Jun decisively dropped out of school to make money due to family reasons, he thought that this boy was very independent.

Moreover, he insisted on setting up the stall every day even in the middle of winter, which was much better than his peers.

Chen's mother asked in confusion, "He used to set up a stall on East Street, how come he suddenly went to work as deputy director of the canteen at the steel mill? This change is too fast."

"He cooks delicious food. Grandpa Liu went to the stall to eat every day and ordered several dishes every time. Even Aunt Rong praised him highly!" Chen Xueru raised her chin, seeming a little proud.

Master Liu?

Hearing this name, Chen's father and mother couldn't help but look at each other.

They knew too well what kind of person Mr. Liu was. The fact that he had to eat at street stalls every day was enough to show how good Chen Jun was at cooking.

What shocked them even more was that when Master Liu was seriously ill before, it seemed that he was cured by a young man named Chen.

But neither Aunt Rong nor Grandpa Liu mentioned the specific treatment method.

But if you think about it carefully, this man is most likely your daughter's boyfriend.

"Hey, this young man is good. Even though his family conditions are not good, he has a good skill. With this skill, our daughter will not starve after she gets married." Father Chen nodded with a smile.

Chen's mother also nodded slightly. Although their family's business was profitable, things were getting worse recently. It would be a good thing for Chen Xueru to find a formal job in a steel mill.

More importantly, this young man is very much to Chen Xueru's taste, and Chen Xueru is willing to get along with him.

For this reason alone, Chen's mother would not stop them from dating.

"My daughter, bring him home for dinner tomorrow. Dad will have a drink with him and find out the truth." Father Chen was already very worried about Chen Xueru's marriage and he couldn't wait for them to get married.

"Oh, no, no, it's too hasty. We are not boyfriend and girlfriend yet!" Chen Xueru waved her hand to refuse.

Unless Chen Jun mentioned their past, she would never take the initiative to talk about it.

Humph, do you really think I have no temper?

"Then the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow should be okay, right?" Father Chen knew Chen Xueru's temper, so he postponed it for one day.

"Oh, don't worry about it. When the time comes, I will take him home!" Chen Xueru didn't want to continue to dwell on this matter, so she got up and went back to her room.

Father and Mother Chen looked at each other again and sighed at the same time.

Alas, there are several children in the family.

But this girl is the one that makes them least worried.

"How about we go visit Master Liu tomorrow? I don't know how the old man is doing recently."

"Okay, I'll go buy some gifts tomorrow morning, and get a bottle of good wine, and I'll have a few drinks with Master Liu."
