God said I would meet you

Early in the morning, Lin Jinyu's house was busy.

"Xiaoyu and the others said what time did they come home?" After getting up, Lin's mother simply pulled her hair and stood busy in the kitchen: "Look at my memory, it's not working."

"It's still early, it's going to be noon, why are you up at this time." Lin Huainan came out of the room with a yawn, he didn't go to work today, he left all the company affairs to the secretary, his son has been home for a few days He takes annual leave.

"It's still early, it's already seven o'clock, can twelve o'clock be far behind?" Lin's mother put on an apron, put on a very professional posture, and asked loudly: "Sister-in-law Zhou—the shrimp I asked you to buy Did you buy it back?"

"Hey, hey, I bought it," Lin's mother took up the kitchen, and Mrs. Zhou was washing vegetables in the bathroom sink. At this moment, she hurriedly responded, "I went to the vegetable market at six o'clock, just to grab some fresh food. River prawns. Xiaoyu likes to eat them, I know."

"Okay, just put it there, I'll peel it!" Mother Lin took out the kitchen knife from the knife drawer, eager to try it.

"..." Lin Huainan, who was still wearing pajamas, had a numb scalp, recalling all the "brilliant deeds" of her when she first got married, and hurriedly stepped forward to snatch the knife, saying: "I'll do it, you... go wash it For a side dish, just smash two cloves of garlic."

It's not that he's worrying unfoundedly, Mama Lin's culinary skills, how can I put it... It's hard to describe, people can't die from eating it, but...

An ellipsis can say a lot.

"Would you like to get rid of me?" Lin's mother was unconvinced: "My cooking skills are still good? Your father once praised that my lotus root flour balls are delicious."

When Grandpa Lin was still teething, he had no hobbies, but he liked to eat Shanghai Dim Sum.

"Yes, yes, yes," Lin Huainan said, "You can go home as a son, and I will show my courtesy to enhance the relationship between father and son."

Mama Lin's cooking skills are not bad, but that's limited to making small snacks. Before she got married, she didn't like to do housework. She didn't touch the spring water with her ten fingers. "Talent" curse, he can't even tell the difference between light soy and old soy, and later married Lin Huainan, who also can't cook, and the two ate meals in the university cafeteria every day.

Later, Lin Huainan resigned, and there was no cafeteria to spare, so Lin Huainan learned to cook for this small family, and Lin's mother learned to cook some Shanghai-style snacks in order to make Grandpa Lin happy.

The two quarreled for a few words, Lin Huainan said: "My lord, I didn't despise you, I just beg you to give me this opportunity to show." After speaking, he cupped his hands and made a bow: "Go and peel the green onions, even though the green onions It’s small, but it has a high status, and many dishes are indispensable.”

But don't let Mama Lin handle the cooking, otherwise Xiaoyu will not be able to have a good meal when she finally returns home after such a hard life, it's so pitiful.

Mother Lin knew that he was talking nonsense, but she untied the apron for him, put down the knife, and said, "Okay, heh."

She took the vegetable bowl, walked a few steps towards the pool, then suddenly turned around and said, "Say...do we want to prepare a few more dishes?"

Lin Huainan looked at the pile of pork, beef, chicken, shrimp, cabbage, lettuce, leek, cucumber, winter melon, and pumpkin on the chopping board, and said, "Are you ready? There are so many."

There are so many that people wonder if they went to the vegetable market to book a place.

"Oh," Mother Lin sighed, "I don't know what Xiao Zhang likes to eat. When Xiao Yu was young, some of my friends often taught me the experience of entertaining my daughter-in-law. I also listened carefully and took notes. I know, the cooked daughter-in-law flew away...By the way, what should we call Xiao Zhang? I have no experience, how do you treat her?"

"How would I know?" Lin Huainan was also a little at a loss: "I don't even know what to call... son-in-law? No. Daughter-in-law is not appropriate either, why don't we call him Xiao Zhang."

Mother Lin stood there holding a pot of vegetables and said, "I...so nervous."

After five seconds, Lin Huainan said, "...Me too."

……

the other side.

"Okay, we can't take the subway, we have to walk, it will take a long time." Lin Jinyu said for the [-]th time: "The sun came out from the west, why did I wait for you today?"

"You...check again if you have all your things." Zhang Xinli didn't know what he was doing, and he didn't come out of the room for a long time: "Right now."

They won't come back until the end of their vacation this time. Lin Jinyu is carrying a big bag containing a change of clothes for the two of them, holding each other and standing at the door one by one, checking the time and waiting for him.

After a long time, Zhang Xinli's figure finally slowly appeared in the living room. Lin Jinyu greeted him as if he had been pardoned, "Let's go, let's go."

"Wait... wait," Zhang Xinli said suddenly, "I didn't take the dog's things." After finishing speaking, he turned around and went into the room to fiddle.

Lin Jinyu: "?"

What the hell is this?

After a long time, they finally went out, one by one swaggering as if they were inspecting the people of Shanghai, while Zhang Xinli, who was leading it, froze in his footsteps, walking slowly, like an old cart that was only able to move forward when it was pulled by an ox.

"By the way, do you want to buy something?" Lin Jinyu glanced at the fruit stand on the side of the road and asked, "It's not good to come to the door empty-handed."

Zhang Xinli was distracted and didn't answer.

Lin Jinyu asked twice more before Zhang Xinli said as if he had just woken up from a dream: "...Oh, it's time to buy something. What do your parents like to eat?"

"What's going on with you today?" Lin Jinyu wondered, "What have you been dawdling about?"

What's the delay... This is the first time he formally visited Lin Jinyu's parents. Zhang Xinli had a lot of thoughts in his mind. He didn't fall asleep last night. He was only thinking about what to say when he entered the door and how to behave when he was eating.

Lin Jinyu squinted at him and told him to tell the truth. Zhang Xinli held on to the leashes one by one, kept silent for a long time, and uttered five words similar to Lin's parents and mothers: "I... am a little nervous."

……

The long silent doorbell ding dong ding dong.

Lin's father, who was busy in the kitchen, was so excited that he cut half of the meat and didn't cut it. He threw down the kitchen knife and walked towards the door. As he walked, he said, "It's here, it's Xiao Yufa? It can be counted."

The son's much mature voice came from outside the door: "Dad, Mom, I'm back!"

The simple sentence "Come back" does not know how much ardent expectation it carries. Lin's father stood at the door, Baba opened the door, and prepared to give his son a warm welcome ceremony: "Xiao Yu and Xiao Zhang, come in quickly, your mother has been reading Dozens of times..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Huainan happily opened the door, and the first thing he saw was not his son's young and handsome face, but a huge black and yellow shadow.

Hearing the sound of "唰", one by one, he rushed forward one by one, jumped on his hind limbs, and licked and licked his two fathers like a torrential rain.

!!!

Before Lin Huainan could react, his mouth was stuffed, and his whole body was in a mess. Lin Jinyu didn't mean to feel sorry for her father at all, and laughed across the Milky Way.

Lin Huainan managed to break free from Yi Yi's bear hug, and said in shock, "Xiao Yu! Where did this come from?!"

He is also afraid of dogs. Mother Lin didn't mention this at all when she got the news of her son and came back to report to him. His son actually has a dog!

And it's so big.

Lin Jinyu said, "Dad, let me introduce you. This is Zhang Xiaoli, whose nickname is Yiyi."

Zhang Xinli held his forehead in his heart, this name is really too shameful.It's over, thanks to Lin Jinyu, he seems to be even more nervous.

Lin Huainan is still trying to clear his mind, Zhang Xiaoli?what is this?dog's name?Why does it follow Xiao Zhang's surname? Could it be...

Lin Jinyu pointed to Zhang Xinli again, introduced: "This is Yiyi's father," and then pointed to herself: "This is also."

Lin Huainan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Understood, come in, don't stand at the door."

Lin Jinyu walked in very relaxed and natural, while Zhang Xinli was stiff all over. This should be the first time to formally meet Lin Jinyu's parents. What should he say?Would you like to ask me?Will it disturb the two father and son reminiscing about the past?And what about Mama Lin?Did they really accept him from the bottom of their hearts, without any grudges...

Countless thoughts flooded his mind, and Zhang Xinli felt that his mental activities throughout the year were not as much as they are now.His heart was beating very fast, except for the first time he kissed Lin Jinyu, it had never been beating faster than now.

"Dad, where's my mother?" Lin Jinyu greeted his father naturally: "He came in a hurry and didn't bring any serious gifts. He bought some fruits you like, and you can keep them for eating."

He didn't say "we" to highlight Zhang Xinli, but now Zhang Xinli's brain is short-circuited and he didn't answer.

"Dad, look how much he misses you." Lin Jinyu poked Zhang Xinli with his elbow, and said, "Why are you so stupid, say hello to my dad."

When people get nervous, they sometimes imitate others subconsciously. The short-circuited Zhang Xinli didn't turn the corner, and said dumbly, "Dad, hello."

Lin Huainan: "..."

He thought to himself: Why did he call Shang Dad... In fact, he should have called him too, but it was so sudden, what should I do?Want to give a red envelope?I'm not ready, isn't it bad if I don't give it?

There was a lot of chatter in my heart, but Zhang Xinli saw that he was silent, thought he was speechless, and immediately reacted, and said again: "... Uncle, hello."

Lin Huainan, who was also nervous, said, "You... hello, Xiao Zhang."

Then Lin Jinyu watched his father stretch out his hand, and Zhang Xinli stretched out his hand stiffly, and the two of them shook hands solemnly as if they were saying hello before participating in some business negotiation.

Three people and one dog entered the door anyway, and Lin Jinyu saw the plates and chopsticks in the kitchen on the stove, knowing that his parents had made a lot of preparations to welcome him back.Mother Lin, who was taking a deep breath in the room because she was too nervous, came out of the room when she heard the movement, and said happily, "Xiao Yu and Xiao Zhang are back? I didn't hear any movement. Sit down, the dishes are not all ready yet. Why don’t you watch TV first? Yeah, Yiyi is here too, let’s put it on the balcony first.”

Lin Jinyu brought a small blanket from the kennel, spread it on the balcony at the moment, smelled it one by one, and automatically lay down on it to rest.Zhang Xinli followed him all the way, wherever Lin Jinyu went, he went there.

Lin Jinyu settled the dog, walked back, and said, "Mom."

Zhang Xinli was slow in greeting last time, but this time he followed up with the speed of light: "Mom."

Mother Lin answered quickly because she was nervous, subconsciously said: "Hey——"

"..."

Three seconds later, Zhang Xinli said, "No, Auntie, that, I..."

"Don't pay attention to him if he's stupid," Lin Jinyu laughed to death: "He's screaming, what's wrong."

Zhang Xinli didn't know what to say, so he stretched out a finger and scratched his face.

"Eat immediately, eat immediately," Lin Huainan, who was nervous, relieved the two people who were very nervous but I didn't say anything: "You can call the child whatever you want, don't worry about it, Xiao Zhang, I haven't cooked for a long time, I don't know how to do this Have you regressed in the past few years, you should taste it well and give a review to see if it still tastes the same as when you were studying here."

Before eating, Zhang Xinli said: "You are very good at cooking, and Xiaoyu's talent for cooking has been inherited from you."

...well, those two sentences are absolutely contradictory.

But who cares, Lin Huainan and his wife greeted their son and his lover into the restaurant, as if they were greeting the president, they served soup first, saying that the dishes were not ready yet, and told them to have a bowl of soup first.

Zhang Xinli's hand holding the spoon was stiff, Lin Jinyu saw it, and felt happy instead of distressed.

Such a clumsy, helpless, and off-chain Zhang Xinli is really novel. It seems that no matter male or female, the mood when meeting parents for the first time is the same. All nervousness, clumsiness, and loss are born of love, and because of love, they are valued, because Pay attention so nervous.

Lin Jinyu had a hunch that they would have a great time this holiday.
