"Let the assistant buy some fruit, or something like drinks," Du Ziyou asked standing at the entrance, "Isn't it good to be empty-handed?"

Xu Zhuo was sitting and tying his shoelaces, and burst out laughing when he heard this: "Did you search the Internet for 'Notes on visiting someone's house'? I'm going home, not a guest, so how can I be so particular about it?"

"But..." Du Ziyou rubbed next to him anxiously, "If you want to go back and talk about me, I should do my best."

"Do your best when I take you back," Xu Zhuo stood up and stomped his shoes, "You haven't officially met your parents yet, and you're so nervous? Take it easy, stay at home, I'm probably over Come back at 12 o'clock."

The melancholy on Du Ziyou's brows never dissipated, he pursed his lips and nodded.

Xu Zhuo looked at his phone, it would be too late, Duan Ru is very punctual, he can't mess with her tonight.

"I'm really leaving," Xu Zhuo stretched out his arms to hug him, "Hey, can you give me a farewell kiss?"

Du Ziyou pressed his lips obediently. Xu Zhuo tasted the two soft lips meticulously, but when he wanted to go deeper, he was suddenly pushed away. He was disgusted by his sweetheart again.

"Okay, we can't continue to kiss," Du Ziyou said with a blushing face, "it will be seen."

Ahhhhh! !! !!

Xu Zhuo scratched his hair violently, heaved a long sigh with infinite resentment, took a few deep breaths, and finally calmed down.

To tell the truth, he was almost used to being forcibly interrupted when the excitement was high, and it was a sweet torture to have such a sensitive lover.

He cheered up and said goodbye to Du Ziyou, went downstairs and drove his own car home.Every time Duan Ru came back from vacation, she would invite relatives and friends to have dinner together. Tonight’s arrangement was to have a barbecue on the rooftop after nine o’clock, so Xu Zhuo and Du Ziyou had the dinner made by Aunt Wei first, but left some Belly for the evening barbecue.

It was already nine o'clock when he arrived, Duan Ru asked her aunt to clean up all the ingredients, the meat to be marinated would be ready in the afternoon, and as soon as Xu Zhuo appeared, she asked her son to move all the ingredients to the roof.

"You're using your son as a coolie." Xu Zhuo first picked up vegetables such as eggplants, corns, potatoes, and leeks, and solved a small part of them in a single trip.

Before Duan Ru could make a sound, Xu Youcai's voice came from the study, shouting loudly: "Stinky boy! Do you feel uncomfortable doing some work for your mother? Do you think it's easy to give birth to you? Ah!?"

Duan Ru covered her mouth and smiled, Xu Zhuo didn't bother to talk to the couple, he obviously had a relationship, but he had to eat old dog food here, it was a crime.

The guests arrived one after another, most of them were neighbors with good relationship, as well as friends and colleagues of the Xu family couple. The gathering of men, women and children was like a joyous event.

Xu Zhuo looked around, but couldn't find anyone from the Yi family.

He asked Duan Ru, Duan Ru glanced at him, and said: "Of course, half a building knows about the advertisements for women's clothing, and you also know that Sister Yi is a face-saving person. You always think it's a matter of immorality, how dare you come out to the dinner party?"

Xu Zhuo nodded clearly.He can understand people like Aunt Yi, but he doesn't agree with it—caring too much about other people's opinions is tantamount to living for others, which is too sad.

The guests are not here for the first time. They skillfully help move things, arrange food and seasonings, several barbecue pits are placed everywhere on the roof, the charcoal fire is lit, chicken wings, mutton skewers, pork skewers, hot dogs, and scallops Meat, squid, prawns, fish balls and other meats are all put on the rack in one go.

After a while, the meat was grilled and gave off a tempting aroma. The oil and seasoning dripped on the charcoal fire, making a sizzling sound, and the sound alone made people move their index fingers.

Xu Zhuo took charge of a stove, and while brushing the meat skewers with marinade, he shouted, "Mom, put some more vegetables on the table. Eating meat alone is not healthy."

Duan Ru was chatting with a neighbor's aunt under the scaffolding, when she heard this, she turned her head and said, "Listen, is this what my son should say? My son has always been fond of meat, so he wouldn't take the initiative to ask to eat more vegetables." .”

"Mom, stop making trouble." Xu Zhuo put the sausage that was baked first on the plate. The sausage was slightly burnt on the outside, which was in the most perfect state.

Duan Ru came over with skewered mushrooms and leeks, approached Xu Zhuo and asked, "Is it my daughter-in-law's credit for learning how to keep in good health?"

On the rooftop, shouting, chatting and chatting, the voices of people, coupled with the sound of sizzling barbecues and classic old songs played from the stereo, the mother and son are talking here, and they are not afraid of being heard by outsiders.

"Mom, Ziyou has a thin skin, you can just tell me about it, and you must not mention it in front of him." Xu Zhuo flipped the chicken wings and brushed the sauce quickly, "Don't look at him He is quite tall, but actually has a small appetite and a bland taste, and most of the table is usually vegetarian, so he can't swallow without vegetables."

They ate together every night, and gradually got used to Du Ziyou's recipes, changing from no meat and no joy to no vegetarian.

Duan Ru said with a sour tone: "I started teaching you to eat more vegetables when you were a child. After so many years of hard work, it's still not as good as your partner's two months."

Xu Zhuo began to move all kinds of meat skewers to the plate, and without looking at her, he said, "You don't care about me at all, and you're still earnest." When Zhuo was a child, he was basically in a free-range state, and it was rare that he did not grow crooked.

Duan Ru took the mutton skewers and bit her mouth, it was very hot, she gasped and fanned the air with her palm: "Not bad, the craftsmanship is as good as ever."

She bit the mutton skewers absently, she didn't know what was going on in her mind, and she ate more than half of it before she said: "Son, mom doesn't mind the gender of your partner, whether it's a man or a woman, it doesn't matter if you fall in love." In one way, it’s OK if the relationship is real.”

Xu Zhuo listened quietly, not stopping his hands.

"But since they are all the same, you can't avoid the problems that exist between male and female couples."

Duan Ru stopped here, and took a peek at her son to see that he listened seriously without getting angry, and then continued: "The time you have known each other is too short, and the proportion of passion is likely to be greater than pure emotion, so you do it You need to be cautious when making a decision, and think twice about whether this relationship can stand the test of time, this is one of them.

"I've also heard about your father's company. Regardless of the relationship between the Du brothers and brothers, they are blood relatives. And Mr. Du is hanging on his breath now, and he will die at any time. For such a big family, if there is any major No one can stay out of the accident, let alone your own son. It is impossible for your affairs to completely bypass the Du family. The future is still unknown, you must be mentally prepared, this is the second.

"As for your dad, he is tall and big, but he is soft-spoken and soft-hearted, and he will always compromise with you in the end. The problem is that he has a stubborn mind. If he finally accepts it, you and that child will If you don't get to the end, your dad will definitely explode, and none of us will be able to live safely. So I suggest you keep it from him first, and then confess to him when everything is settled, this is the third."

Xu Zhuo nodded, with a sullen face and seriousness: "Mom, you really deserve to be an academic, you can write a thesis."

Duan Ru slapped him on the back of the head and said, "Be serious."

Xu Zhuo smiled, put the chicken wings on another plate, and said, "You are right, I will listen to you."

"What are you listening to my wife?" Xu Youcai's voice came from behind him, he squeezed beside Duan Ru, and wanted to take the grilled chicken wings with his hands, but Duan Ru slapped the back of his hand severely.

"Burning you to death!" She glared at him, "Do you still want your hands?"

Xu Youcai huddled together, not daring to resist his wife, and complained to his son, "You don't even put a stick in your grilled chicken wings, how do you eat them?"

Xu Zhuo deeply felt that he was the bottom of the family, and his father did not love his mother, and he often took the blame for them.He said helplessly: "There are not enough lottery tickets. I have asked my aunt to buy them. I should buy them back."

"I'll go and have a look," Duan Ru took a tissue to wipe his hands, "Xu Youcai, sit down and don't move around, if I find you stealing food, hum."

Xu Youcai hurriedly called her to stop: "Honey, you don't have to go by yourself, I'll just go."

"You have just finished work, you should take a rest." Duan Ru went to the stairwell after finishing speaking, and went downstairs to find someone at home.

Xu Youcai sat aside and smirked, causing Xu Zhuo, who was busy by the stove, to turn his head and look at him.

"What are you looking at?" Xu Youcai straightened his waist, "It's hard to find such a good wife with a lantern, so you can't envy her!"

cut!Xu Zhuo complained in his heart, my partner is still the dragon and phoenix among the people you personally stamped, have you seen me showing off?

Of course he didn't have the guts to say this, all the cooked food had been removed, Xu Zhuo started a new round of barbecue, this time all the vegetables on the shelves, all kinds of meat, eggplant, corn and so on.

He distractedly said to the old man: "The company is so busy? Mom rarely comes home and you can't spare time to accompany her?" This is not his usual style.

"The company is okay. The Du family hasn't done anything wrong, but we are going to take over the land in Xincheng, so there will be more things in the next few days."

Xu Zhuo was stunned when he heard the words, the new city is not Xu Youcai's territory, the project there is very deep, and Xu Youcai used to live a stable life before, and never thought of entering the new city, but now...

Xu Youcai mentioned this matter on the phone, and Xu Zhuo advised him to think again. After all, opening up new markets can expand the company's scale, but it also means high risks. Xu Zhuo didn't expect him to make a decision so quickly.

"Father," Xu Zhuo asked slowly, "It's because of the Du family that you..."

Xu Youcai snorted disdainfully, and said, "What is the Du family? I strengthen the company for my own family!"

He patted his son's strong shoulder: "I'm old, this time I'm afraid this is the last time I have the ambition to make the company bigger and stronger, so why don't I seize the opportunity and give it a go? I will never have the energy again You are my only son. Whether you want to take it or not, this company will be left to you. When you get married and have children—doesn’t it cost a lot of money to raise children now? You can even sell the company It can be exchanged for some money, remember to tell the children that this is the milk powder money earned by their grandpa."

Xu Zhuo played with the Flammulina velutipes on the grill in silence, and gave a soft "hmm".His nose was so sore that he was afraid that he would shed tears if he spoke carelessly.

Ever since he dated Du Ziyou, he only thought about how to deal with the obstruction from his relatives, but he never thought about the impact and harm his choice would bring to his family.

It's true that Xu Youcai is old-fashioned, and he has a bad temper. He always threatens to beat his son with sticks and education. I can't hide it.

But he really cares about his son. Duan Ru is not at home on business trips. No matter how busy his company is, he will attend his son's parents' meetings, cultural performances and other activities.His son was active, so he bought the upper floors and opened up to give him more space for activities.His son rebelled when he filled out the application form for the college entrance examination, and filled in a funeral major. He was so angry that he had high blood pressure and smashed a broom, but finally accepted it. Fortunately, Xu Zhuo finally found out with his conscience and changed his application back.

Duan Ru is right, Xu Youcai is hard-spoken and soft-hearted, and will eventually compromise with his son, even if his outlook on life and the world for decades has been greatly impacted, his ideas have been completely subverted, and he may even suffer strange looks from people around him——Xu Youcai For such a face-saving person, other people's prejudices are enough to kill him.

Xu Zhuo's heart was gripped tightly by guilt, but he was still apologizing repeatedly in his heart—I'm sorry, Dad, I can't give up on Du Ziyou, I just hope that you don't hate him when the time comes, and all the beatings and scoldings will be directed at me.
