Together through thick and thin

chap. 87

"Ayuan, I'm so nervous..."

"It's not the first time we've met, why are you nervous? Didn't you just finish talking on the phone two days ago?"

"...It was different before and now! It's just that you didn't hear how fast my heart was beating that day!"

"Just get through it together."

"……Um!"

chap. 88

"Xiaoyuan! Xiaohua! You are back!"

"mom."

"Auntie~ we are back~"

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back. Is it cold? Poor child, come in and take a hot bath to warm up."

"It's okay, it doesn't matter."

"The room is all tidied up, just like before."

"Thank you mom."

"Thank you auntie."

"Hey... As expected, I'm still a little thinner..."

"Auntie, do your eyes have a vertical compression effect? ​​I'm obviously fat, okay... A Yuan said that I have a belly."

"It's hard muscle now."

"Is it bad?"

"Okay, very good, of course."

"..."

"Pfft, it's alright, alright, isn't poverty enough along the way? Hurry up and put down your luggage and take a break. Are you hungry? Do you want to have something to eat first? Your dad won't get off work in a few hours."

"I've eaten in the car, so I'm not hungry now. Mom, go get busy first, and leave us alone."

"Okay, let's go and rest for a while."

chap. 89

"call……"

"Tired? Let's take a shower first."

"No... I was nervous... My heart was about to jump out..."

"... Promise."

"... When do you plan to show your cards?"

"tonight?"

"...Let's talk about it after the new year, okay?"

"..."

"Anyway, let them have a good year."

"……it is good."

"... By the way, it's been a long time since I tried to sleep in separate beds, and even in separate rooms."

"Beforehand, climbing on the bed is strictly prohibited."

"Hey~ okay."

"Then I'll go back to my room."

"Ayuan~ Kiss me first~ I won't have much chance in the next few days."

"...you are so troublesome."

"Hehe~"

chap. 90

"Xiaohua, please help me get some parsley over there."

"OK~ you need lettuce too?"

"Yes, yes, and broccoli and cucumber."

"The dishes are ready like this?"

"It's almost there, let's go buy meat, fish, chicken, roast goose, roast pig..."

"Then let's go over there. When I passed by just now, I saw that the meat was quite fresh."

"Hey, I brought you here to buy vegetables to save worry. At most, the two of you just buy them as soon as you see them, and never care whether they are new or not."

"Pfft, Ah Yuan is much better now, if I have time, I will still pick one."

"Thank you so much. I used to use all kinds of excuses to escape when I caught him to the vegetable market."

"... Cough, after all, you have to live on your own when you come out. You have to learn these things. You rely on your parents at home, and you rely on yourself when you are outside~"

"Isn't it a fool's errand? I guess you didn't even talk about the price at the beginning and just bought it?"

"..."

"Sure enough. You are so lucky to follow him, otherwise you can rest assured."

"It's okay, A Yuan has always been very planned in his work."

"Hmm... so you plan to develop there in the future?"

"Eh?"

"...It's nothing. Have you bought everything? Let's go home."

"Huh? Oh, oh oh."

chap. 91

"Come, come, Xiaoyuan, come and have a drink with me."

"It's still bright, no drinking."

"...Who told you to drink! My pot is Pu'er! Pu'er!"

"Oh."

"...I said boy..."

"Speak straight."

"...I will be mad at you sooner or later."

"Don't worry, look at your appearance, if you are less than 100, you don't need to worry about that problem."

"...Don't talk about what you have. I just want to ask you, do you have a date?"

"..."

"Don't pretend to be dead for me. This is your empress dowager's order. I must pry out some facts from you. That's what I mean too. You are old now, and it's time to think about getting married."

"I have a partner."

"Where are they from?"

"People here."

"Find a day to bring me back to meet you in the New Year?"

"……it is good."

"Which day?"

"... the sixth day."

"Okay, then it's settled."

chap. 92

"Xiaohua, did you see any girl outside?"

"……what?"

"You're not too young, it's time to think about it."

"...This, I, is still early..."

"And Xiaoyuan too, you live with him, have you seen any girls he has a close relationship with?"

"..."

"It looks like I'm going to be 30, and these things should be planned as soon as possible."

"...Auntie, Ayuan and I are only 26... To be precise, Ayuan is 26 and I won't be 6 until June..."

"A 26 year old is actually 27 years old. The little girl is very powerful now. If she is over 28, she will feel old."

"..."

"Now that I have a partner, it's okay to have a stable relationship. If I don't have one, I still have to look for it. How much time will it take to find another partner!"

"..."

"Oh, it's too far away. Answer my previous question quickly, do you and Xiao Yuan have a relationship?"

"……Have."

"Oh, not bad~ When will you bring it back for us to see?"

"..."

"It's not the kind of play, is it?"

"No no no no no, of course not! We're serious!"

"Then let's meet sometime."

"...years later... maybe."

"What day?"

"Sixth day."

"it is good!"

chap. 93

"Ayuan."

"Ok?"

"Auntie asked about the object today."

"Did you say it?"

"No, I told her to bring someone on the sixth day of the sixth day for her to meet."

"...I also told my dad about the sixth day."

"Pfft, we really have a good understanding..."

"Are you afraid?"

"...It's a lie to say I'm not afraid."

"It's okay, anyway, even if we are kicked out, we will be together."

"...Ayuan, you are so kind."

"Aren't you still going to your aunt's house for New Year's Eve dinner? Why don't you hurry?"

"Yeah, let's go out now."

"If you don't come back, let me know."

"No, no matter how late I will be back."

"...Take it."

"key?"

"You don't have it? If you come back too late, just use that to open the door."

"...Actually, my aunt has already matched one for me."

"... When did it happen?"

"Uh, just... one month before I graduated from college, didn't they go on a trip that time? They wanted to ask me to help you look at the house, so they told me to live here directly, saying that they would save running back and forth."

"..."

"Hey~ But we can exchange~"

"Get out of here now."

"Haha~"

chap. 94

"Xiaohua, don't you plan to come to my aunt's house for the New Year this year?"

"Well, I'm fine. Just let me know when you're leaving relatives, and I'll go with you."

"That's no problem. Anyway, after so many years, I'm familiar with the process. By the way, you still live at your friend's house?"

"Hey, um. But if someone comes to pay New Year's greetings, I will go back to my house over there."

"them……"

"They are different from us. They have been having dinner together for the past few years, so it doesn't matter."

"That's quite convenient."

"We can do it too~"

"Pfft, it's not that you don't know about the situation among relatives. With so many people, who will pay for the dinner. It's still possible if you can become a big boss in the future."

"Split evenly~"

"You don't know about your father's side, but your mother's side, it's unlikely."

"Haha, let's talk about it~"

"I guess so. By the way, do you have a date?"

"..."

"If you haven't, you should hurry up. Seeing the years go by, it's too old to find."

"Hey, I have a partner, I will find a chance to bring it for you to see."

"Oh, the boy has a future. Then my aunt will wait to see her beautiful nephew and daughter-in-law~"

"..."

chap. 95

"Ah... so tired."

"It's normal to be tired from running on both sides. In fact, you can go back to your house..."

"Don't~"

"Oh, fine, it's up to you. Tomorrow..."

"It's the sixth day."

"..."

"When are you going to say it?"

"after dinner?"

"……it is good."

chap. 96

"Okay, dinner is over, what about bringing someone to meet? Wouldn't it be good to let the girl out at night? Do we need to go out for a walk?"

"...Dad, Mom, the person has already been brought here, right in front of you."

"..."

"..."

"...Uncle, Auntie, A Yuan and I seriously want to live together for the rest of our lives, and we hope to get your approval."

"...What if we say no?"

"Then keep grinding until you are willing."

"Have you thought about the future?"

"I've thought about it, we've thought about it a lot, but... we still don't want to let go of each other. Uncle, aunt, we really hope you can admit that I don't care, but you are A Yuan's parents after all... I , If possible, I don't want you to turn against each other."

"But right now you're doing something that might turn us against you."

"..."

"This is my choice, it has nothing to do with Ah Hua."

"So, if you had to choose between me, your dad and Xiaohua, would you choose Xiaohua?"

"Yes."

"We gave birth to you and raised you for so many years, is this how you repay us?"

"……Yes."

"you are selfish."

"Ah."

"Also ruthless."

"Correct."

"Wait, Ayuan! Auntie! I confessed to Ayuan first! If I hadn't dragged Ayuan into the water—"

"Do you think you can hold me back if I don't want to?"

"..."

"Dad, Mom, let me explain clearly. Whether you accept or not accept the matter of me and Liao Chunhua, you can't change it. It's best if you can understand. If you can't accept it, then we will leave this place immediately. Home, I won’t come back without your permission, you...you can treat your son as having died in a car accident.”

"A Yuan!"

"... Hey, it's true that you are stubborn, kid. Even if I object to your father, there's no need to curse yourself, right? It's still the New Year!"

"Stinky boy, are you afraid that I will beat you up and break your legs if you talk to us like this? You will be imprisoned at home for the rest of your life and will not allow you to communicate?"

"!uncle……"

"Dad, don't you always say that you are a civilized person and not rude? Besides, you may not be able to beat Ah Hua now."

"...Stinky boy, you are really itchy, aren't you!"

"Okay, okay, do you really want to scare Xiaohua to death? Look at his pale face, it's almost enough."

"...Are you okay?"

"I... don't have... Auntie?"

"Well, I've told you before, and I'll say it again now, life is passing by, everyone has a different way of living, I don't ask you to be more brilliant, parents only want their children to be happy. Since you have chosen This road, if you think it’s okay, then we have nothing to say. But the ugly words are up front, if you regret it in the future, we will not help you. People should be responsible for their own choices, so you can do it yourself.”

"Aunt……"

"Dad, what do you mean?"

"...Don't think I don't know, you already understood our attitude, right?"

"Eh?"

"...More or less, let's confirm again."

"Come on, what are you confirming? You can live as you like, but your mother is right, you have to be responsible for the choice, and you can taste the bitterness or sweetness in the future."

"Thank you, Dad, Mom."

"..."

"Xiaohua?"

"...Thank you, woo, thank you, uncle... thank you, thank you aunt..."

"Hey, silly boy... If you want, you can call us parents instead."

"...um... Dad, Mom..."

"Good boy."

chap. 97

"Has the child settled down?"

"Well, just fell asleep."

"It's embarrassing for the child. He has been very disturbed. Speaking of which, how do you know that we have no objection?"

"...you keep calling him 'Xiaohua'."

"...Hey, it's not good to have a son who is too fine."

"I never thought you would agree so easily."

"I wanted to play with you, but it's not that the child is too pitiful. You should know that sitting next to him, his face is pale and bloodless, and his whole body is as tense as a stone."

"... When did you know about it?"

"...Your child has been alone since childhood. It is rare to have such a good friend, but no matter how good it is, it won't make people live in your own home forever, right? It's still a home where both parents are. You are not so careless. , At that time, your father and I were a little suspicious. Later, seeing the way you get along, and the fact that there is no one else around you, you almost know it. "

"...It wasn't you who let him live in directly...you even gave him a key."

"... Who was it that made us treat him as his half son in the first place?!"

"..."

"Also, Xiaohua didn't get angry with me just now. Are you serious when you say that if we don't agree, you will leave home and never come back?! You really just left us like this?!"

"You know it if you think about it?"

"what?!"

"how is this possible."

"..."

"That's the language used in special scenes. If that's the case, even if I don't mind, Ahua won't be happy. Besides, I have already planned for a long-term war of resistance."

"...that's what people say."

"But really, thank you for your understanding."

"...Hey. As parents, you don't ask too much. You have always been good, which is the greatest reward for us."

"Well, we will."

"By the way, what are you going to do with Xiaohua's relatives? Doesn't he have a good aunt?"

"...I plan to solve it together."

"If you kill and set fire, your father and I will not protect you."

"..."

"Haha, come on~"

chap. 98

"Hello, Auntie. I'm Liao Chunhua's friend Lu Zhiyuan. I'm sorry to ask you out rashly. I didn't bother you, did I?"

"No, no, it's the New Year's holiday anyway. I know you, thank you for taking care of that child all the time, I really trouble you."

"Where, my parents are happy to have many children to accompany them."

"... That's good. The child's relatives are shallow. He lost his parents when he was a child, and lost his grandma when he was in college. Among the remaining relatives, I am the only one who is closer to him. But... that child is too considerate. Probably because he thought it would disturb my family, no matter how hard he tried to coax him, he would not come."

"University is grown up enough to take care of itself."

"Well... that's what he answered me too. So I was surprised when I found out that he lived in your house."

"..."

"That child, it looks very easy-going and easy to get close to people, but in fact, except for a few specific objects, he is separated from everyone."

"..."

"So I thought, you must be someone special to him."

"..."

"Am I right?"

"... He and I are lovers."

"...Hey, that child's life is hard. I don't have much to say. I just hope that you can treat him well. It's okay. It's okay to fulfill the wishes of his grandma and parents."

"Their wishes?"

"What else can there be, peace and joy, that's enough."

"……I will."

"By the way, can I ask you a question?"

"what is the problem?"

"Why didn't you bring Xiaohua with you today?"

"...I don't want him to be difficult."

"Oh?"

"Because I'm not sure of your opinion."

"Well...you should have told your parents, right?"

"Correct."

"The two together?"

"Ah."

"Aren't you afraid of embarrassment?"

"...I know roughly how my parents reacted."

"...You are also a considerate child. From the standpoint of Xiaohua's aunt, I am very happy that you can stand up to protect Xiaohua; but from the standpoint of one of a couple, I don't know. I totally agree with your approach. If you want to maintain a relationship for a long time, the most important thing is to share the responsibility."

"...I understand what you mean, thank you."

"Since the two of you have decided to be together, I still hope that you can go on smoothly."

"Ah Hua is lucky to have such an aunt like you."

"Haha, thank you."

chap. 99

"...Parents and the others went out? Ugh! Hey, don't jump over suddenly!"

"...You went to see my aunt?"

"Correct."

"Why don't you ask me to go with you?"

"...I can handle it."

"I want to bear it with you."

"……sorry."

"No need to apologize...no need...I...A Yuan, thank you..."

"I did not do well this time, and I promise there will be no next time."

"Ah."

"...It's time to let go, I have to take a shower."

"Kiss one first?"

"...Go away."

"Come on, come on~"

"Wait--"

"I said you two, please go back to your room please..."

"!!!"

"...Dad, Mom, are you back?"

"Yeah, I didn't expect to see a romantic movie. Actually, we should come in a little later, so we can watch free romantic action movies?"

"Cough cough cough cough!!!"

"Where have you been so late?"

"Shopping, don't you have to go tomorrow?"

"..."

"..."

"Looking at how leisurely you are, I guess you forgot to prepare, so why don't we help you sort it out."

"...Don't tell me, the pile of things behind you is all for us to take over..."

"I bought it all back, what else can you do if you don't take it?"

"...Mom and Dad, it's getting late, you should go to rest, we pack the luggage by ourselves."

"Don't even think about it~ All these things have to be carried away, at least a year! What are two big men afraid of with such a little weight!"

"...Yeah, because you didn't take it."

"What did you say?"

"I said, as long as you are happy."

"Cut. Come, come, come, Xiao Hua will help you."

"Ah? Oh oh..."

chap. 100

"Ah... I'm exhausted..."

"You're stupid enough, my mother said put it all in and you really put it all in?!"

"Uh, isn't it, it's not easy to resist... After all, we are under the roof, and we just passed Minglu..."

"Your time to make a good impression is long past."

"QAQ"

"This shoulder has probably been sore for several days. Fortunately, I don't have to go to work tomorrow."

"That's right, hey... Let's take a bath first, to get rid of fatigue."

"Ah."

"Together?"

"...Do you still have the strength?"

"Hey hey hey, I didn't go to the gym for nothing~"

"Oh, that's good. If that's the case, I'll leave the luggage to you, and I'll take a shower first."

"Hey...QAQ"

"Ah, that's right... Ah Hua, stretch out your hand."

"?... Ah... the ring..."

"Finally you can wear it openly."

"...When did you wear it?"

"just."

"Give me your hand, and I'll help you take it off and put it on again."

"…………"

chap. 101

"Xiao Liao, good morning~"

"Sister Tang, morning~"

"The red face is full of happiness, it seems that you have successfully passed the test?"

"Hey hey hey hey~"

"Hey, all the lovely juniors have families... Congratulations~"

"Thank you~ Are you still hesitating? How about I help you find out what the manager means?"

"...No need, I'll go by myself."

"According to your current motivation, I don't think you can go after the manager gets married."

"Oh, why are you so wordy!"

"I'm thinking about you~ It's better to act than to be moved, to cut the mess quickly! Besides, I don't think the manager is completely boring to you."

"……How to say?"

"Don't you think he often talks to you?"

"It's all official business."

"There are so many people here, why do they have to come to you? In terms of seniority, you are not as old as Brother Jiang. In terms of ability, to put it bluntly, Sister Renyun, Brother Jiang, and Sister Huang are not necessarily inferior to you. "

"...It really doesn't sound good, brat, are you itchy???"

"I'm not analyzing with you to give you motivation."

"..."

"Still not confident?"

"...I can't find the time to speak..."

"If you can't find an opportunity, create it yourself! Just make an appointment!"

"...Are you also so direct when chasing the road?"

"I was fighting for a long time, but you didn't even open your head, and are you sure you still have time for long-term fighting at your current age? Ouch! It hurts, hurts, hurts!!!"

"What did you just say?!"

"I……"

"What are you doing?"

"Ah! Manager Liu... Uh, yes, yes... Ah yes! It was Xiao Liao who just made a mistake in a client's information! I'm teaching him a lesson!"

"...Wow, I'm more wronged than Dou E...Okay, I lost the information and I'm sorry. Ouch! Why are you still beating me!"

"It was a mistake, not a loss! You idiot!"

"..."

"You two have such a good relationship."

"Uh, this, isn't this, he is my direct subordinate after all..."

"That's right, Sister Tang is a good sister. She has always taken good care of my little brother, but sometimes she's a bit fierce... Hiss—"

"Sister? Brother?"

"Yes, my partner also said that Sister Tang is like my sister, closer than my own sister."

"Oh? Xiao Liao, do you have a date?"

"Hehehe, yes~"

"Look at how stupid he is... isn't it because he got his parents' consent?"

"By the way, manager, do you have a girlfriend?"

"!!!"

"Not yet. I originally planned to find a partner in the past two years, but I didn't expect you to take the lead."

"Oh, what a coincidence, Sister Tang has always said that she wants to find a partner... Hey, hey, my arm!!!"

"Manager, is there anything you need to order here?"

"Hmm... no orders, but one request."

"what?"

"Tang Qingqing, do you have time tonight? Have a meal together?"

"!!!"

chap. 102

"Yo, Xiaolu, happy new year."

"Happy New Year, Brother Cao."

"Well...you're in a good mood, did something good happen?"

"..."

"It's strange why I know? Well... would you believe me if I said it's because I've been paying attention to you?"

"We got the approval of our loved ones."

"..."

"Thank you."

"Ha, thank you for what?"

"Thank you for your blessing."

"... Ha, it's good to be successful. It's great that you have such enlightened relatives."

"Brother Cao, Ah Hua often said something to me before, and now I think it's quite right."

"Oh? What?"

"Cherish it while it's still there."

"... When did you know?"

"I do not know anything."

"Is it... oh... well, thank you."

"It's nothing."

chap. 103

"So, Miss Tang and your manager are done?"

"I didn't go to dinner with them. How would I know, but it will definitely work. Hey, I can finally feel relieved haha."

"I hope Miss Tang will be happy."

"Hey, it's rare."

"She is like a sister to you."

"...Do you mean Aiwujiwu?"

"What do you say?"

"Oh! Ah Yuan, why are you so cute!!!"

"Get out of here! You're dead!"

"No~hehe~"

"Hmm—wait—still, haven't taken a shower yet..."

"I'll wash it later, we haven't done it for a long time..."

"Well... Tomorrow, tomorrow I have to go to work..."

"Don't worry, just once..."

"what……"
