your majesty please nod

"Well, everything went well."

"Why do you bring so much luggage? Didn't I say that you don't need to bring so much? There is everything here."

"It's the fresh longan and local products over there, which you can't get here."

Liu Mingyan just wanted to say that the supermarket has plenty, and knowing that this luggage is the deep love of the two old people, he couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.

"The car is over there, let's go home."

The family of three returned home happily, and the door of Liu Mingyan's house suddenly became lively.

At this time, the door of Zhang Yi's house opened in due course, and he stood up with a smile on his face.

"Mingyan, are your parents here?"

"En." Liu Mingyan responded, I really don't know how long this guy has been lurking behind the door.

"Ming Yan, this is..."

"Auntie, my name is Zhang Yi, and I'm Ming Yan's colleague and neighbor." Zhang Yi quickly introduced himself enthusiastically.

"Oh, Zhang Yi..." Mother Liu thought for a while, "Ming Yan, there seems to be a classmate in your university named Zhang Yi..."

"That's right, the two Zhang Yis are me, Auntie, you remember it so clearly."

"Yes." Liu's mother smiled gently, "Mingyan told me when he came back from winter vacation in his first year at university that he made a very good friend named Zhang Yi, and he took good care of him in life. "

After hearing this, Zhang Yi glanced at Liu Mingyan who was opening the door, and found that his face was blushing.

"Mom, let's go inside."

"So much luggage." Zhang Yi cleverly turned to Father Liu, "This is Uncle, I'll help."

"No, no, no..." The honest father Liu just laughed.

"Anyway, I have nothing to do, let me do it."

In the end, Zhang Yi managed to get the luggage bag.

Liu Mingyan glared at him: "Why did you follow in?"

"I'll just drop my stuff and go."

Zhang Yi helped put the luggage into the room, and when he came out, he said goodbye to the two old people loudly: "Uncle and aunt, I'm going back."

"Hey, wait a minute, boy."

Zhang Yi hurriedly turned around: "Auntie, is there anything else?"

Ms. Liu packed two bags out of the bag: "Our specialties, take some back home, and let your parents try it too."

Zhang Yi scratched his head in embarrassment: "Auntie, my parents are gone. I live alone, so I can't eat that much..."

When Liu's mother heard this, her heart melted: "I'm sorry..."

"It's okay, they've been gone for more than ten years."

(Papa Zhang: You are a shameless son!!!)

"Then stay here and eat together, it's strange to be alone over there."

"Yeah."

Liu Mingyan, who was tidying up his things beside him, couldn't listen anymore: "Mom, don't listen to his nonsense, his purpose is to come here to eat and drink."

"Mingyan, how can you talk like that!" Mother Liu blamed her son instead, "They are all children who are wandering outside, so of course they have to watch over and help each other, not to mention that they have helped you before!"

"Auntie, it's been so long since that little thing..."

"Stay for dinner tonight."

"What's the point of that..."

"More people have more chopsticks."

"Then thank you, aunt~~~"

Liu Mingyan stared at Zhang Yi coldly, wishing he could step on the raised dog tail behind him.

Liu Mingyan originally proposed to eat dinner outside, but Liu's mother insisted on cooking herself.

"Mom is here, do you still need to eat outside? Besides, there are guests and we have all gone out. How embarrassing."

"He's a shitty customer..."

Ms. Liu shook her head and smiled, making Ming Yan speak in such a tone, which proved that his relationship with that person was very strong.

Being able to make such a good friend outside, Liu's mother was half relieved.

"Mingyan, wash this dish."

"okay."

So, the mother and son got busy in the kitchen.

Mother Liu was in poor health when she was young, and she had to teach and educate people, so she was already very tired when she returned home.

Xiao Mingyan is very sensible. Every morning after school, he will go home and cook first.

Slowly under the guidance of my mother, I also cooked good dishes.

While frying the fish, Liu's mother suddenly asked him: "Mingyan, you are almost thirty, why don't you see anything?"

Liu Mingyan's smile was a little stiff: "What's happening?"

"It's just an emotional thing."

"I... I'm too busy with work, I haven't been looking for..."

He will never let his family know about the matter with Wang Zifeng.

"Lifetime events are also very important. Don't be too busy with work. If you see a suitable girl, hurry up. If you have a companion, your father and I don't have to worry so much..."

"Mom, the fish is a bit burnt..."

"Oops, bad!"

Mother Liu just stopped nagging and concentrated on dealing with that fish.

Liu Mingyan sighed secretly.

With the concerted efforts of the mother and son, plates of delicious food were brought from the kitchen to the dining table.

"Wow, it smells so good~~~"

When eating here, I always like a bowl of soup before meals, and it is a good soup that has been boiled for more than three hours.

After taking a sip, the fragrant and warm liquid flows down the throat and into the body, immediately warming the heart and stomach, making the body and mind feel comfortable.

A warm current gushed out of Zhang Yi's heart, he sniffed, his eyes were a little red.

"Zhang Yi, what's wrong?"

"I'm fine..." Zhang Yi's throat was a little choked, "I just haven't had such an authentic home-cooked soup for a long time. My mother used to make it for me..."

There was a moment of silence at the dinner table.

Mother Liu took Zhang Yi's soup bowl and added another big spoonful: "It's okay, if you want to drink soup, come over here. As long as I'm here, I guarantee you can drink hot soup every day."

Zhang Yi smiled happily: "Thank you, Auntie!"

Liu Mingyan muttered: "Mom, didn't you come to take care of me, why did you seem to be serving him?"

Ms. Liu also added a large spoonful to Mingyan's bowl: "Okay, you can make up too, isn't that fair?"

Only then did Liu Mingyan laugh.

After that, Zhang Yi became a frequent visitor to Liu Mingyan's house.

The two go to work together, leave work together, and eat together.

It wasn't until bedtime that Zhang Yi reluctantly went back to his home.

38

38. Determination

Zhang Yi spent some days in Liu's house, and soon became acquainted with Mingyan's family members.

During this period of time, he and Liu Mingyan will not arrive home later than 8 pm at the latest, and there will be warm soup and hot meals as soon as they enter the door, really like a family.

After dinner, Zhang Yi was in charge of washing the dishes, Liu's father went for a walk in the community downstairs, and Ming Yan accompanied his mother to watch TV and chat about homework.

After Zhang Yi finished washing the dishes, he cut up a large plate of fruit and came out. At this time, Liu's father also came back from a walk, and everyone ate fruit and watched TV together.

Zhang Yi found out that Ming Yan and his mother were relatively close.

The mother and son got together and chatted softly, and there was always something to say.

Mama Liu knew at a glance that she was a cultured person, her speech and behavior were generous and elegant, and her smiles and frowns were gentle and amiable.

Although she looks weak, her words carry a lot of weight. Liu's father bows to her, and Liu Mingyan obeys her.

Of course, Mama Liu became Zhang Yi's main target.

As for Liu's father, he is definitely a loyal and good man.

I don't talk much at ordinary times, and I always smile at everyone, and occasionally say a few words, which are also simple words.

When discussing something at home, Liu's father always said to his wife: "Listen to you, listen to you..."

But when dealing with Liu's mother, she was unequivocal at all, and she would not let her take anything heavier than a basin.

Mother Liu occasionally coughed twice, handing water and reciting her back, loving her wife very much.

Such a sincere uncle is naturally easy to deal with.

After eating the fruit, it was almost ten o'clock. The two old people cleaned up and went back to their room to rest.

When Zhang Yi returns home, Liu Mingyan will work overtime in his room until late at night to finish the unfinished work.

Zhang Yi went to Liu's house for dinner every day, and of course he would not be empty-handed.

Mama Liu likes to drink tea, so Zhang Yi brings her premium Tieguanyin tea today and premium Pu'er tea tomorrow.

Liu's father liked to drink, so Zhang Yi came to the door with some good wine every day, and accompanied him to have a drink or two during meals, which made the old man very happy.

But there was one gift, it would be impossible for Liu Mingyan to find out.

"Dad, why do you smell like cigarettes?"

Father Liu felt guilty for a while: "No, no..."

In fact, Liu's father went out for a walk every night just to secretly smoke two cigarettes without letting Liu Mingyan know.

However, I didn't go out for a long time tonight, and I went home before the smell of smoke cleared up. As expected, my son caught me.

"You still say no? The smell of smoke is so strong!" Liu Mingyan stretched out his hand, "Hand it over."

Father Liu had no choice but to reach into his pocket and take out the cigarette for his son.

Liu Mingyan saw that it was a pack of "Zhonghua" in a box, and immediately glared at Zhang Yi, who lowered his head disheartened.

Liu's father was diligent and thrifty all his life. Although Mingyan gave him pocket money every month, he was reluctant to buy such expensive cigarettes. This guy must have given them secretly.

"Dad, how many times have I told you that cigarettes are harmful and bad for your health!" Liu Mingyan looked more like Lao Tzu, "I confiscated this cigarette, and you are not allowed to smoke it again in the future!"

Liu's father did not refute his son, but looked at Liu's mother pitifully.

Mother Liu smiled and said, "Your dad has had a problem for decades. If you ask him to change it all at once, will he be able to change it?"

"I'm doing it for his own good..."

"Well, I'll make the decision." Liu's mother made the final decision, "Old Liu, you smoke less, don't let your son worry about you. Mingyan, if your father quits smoking, it won't be good for eating or sleeping. Just let him smoke two."

"Okay then, you can only smoke two a day. I'll keep the cigarettes, you want
