Chapter 2103
: Omitting the Process, Welcoming the Surprise
"You don't know, some people are even more awful than my parents."
Just do as I say.
"I'm a grown man, I can't let you be the one in front," the chubby boy muttered, his eyes slightly evasive.
But at that moment, the girl was filled with nothing but emotion.
She felt that she had made the right gamble by taking the initiative this time.
I've gambled on a responsible man.
The closer they got to Beijing, the more anxious Xu Shengli became.
He didn't know why either.
He was well aware of his situation.
Although the girl has a rural household registration, it's definitely a disadvantage in his family.
But given his mother's temper, seeing him bring his wife home was unacceptable.
They would inevitably ignore all of the girl's shortcomings and only urge the young couple to quickly give her a big, fat grandson.
Judging from the girl's slightly protruding belly, Deng Yuzhen is indeed pregnant.
Just look at the child in his wife's belly; she's the number one contributor to the Xu family.
Although he has an older half-brother, he is definitely the eldest grandson that the Xu family elders care about the most.
Just as Xu Fugui often said to him, his kindness towards his brother was an act of making amends and atoning for Xu Damao's sins.
And everything the Xu family owns will still belong to Xu Shengli in the future.
Furthermore, as long as his mother likes her daughter-in-law, it doesn't really matter whether others like her or not.
Xu Shengli's initial concern was that the sudden marriage would make things difficult to explain when he returned home.
Especially in front of relatives and friends, marrying a girl from the countryside would be a bit of a loss of face for the Xu family.
But now that I think about it, his own pride was more important.
He's taking his wife out to meet up with her old friends...
Just thinking about that scene makes him break out in a cold sweat.
Although He Yuan rejected his love, in Xu Shengli's heart, He Yuan was still his big sister.
In fact, from the moment He Yuan returned from Hong Kong Island, Xu Shengli knew at first sight that his childhood sweetheart was no longer on the same level as him.
He tried, but failed.
But this failure was something he had foreseen, and it did not affect his friendship with He Yuan.
When He Yuan got married, she sent him wedding candy.
He also once asked someone to send a congratulatory gift to He Yuan and her husband.
Of course, these are matters between the younger generation.
He Yuzhu and his elders were unaware of this.
These days, trains aren't fast, but they'll eventually reach their destination.
This was the first time Deng Yuzhen had seen the grandeur of Beijing. Like many people entering the city for the first time, she carried a rattan bag and clung tightly to Xu Shengli's clothes with her other hand.
She was afraid that Xu Shengli would leave her here.
"Son, Shengli, here, here..." As soon as he stepped out of the station gate, he heard his parents shouting excitedly.
Xu Shengli looked around in the direction the voice was directed.
He finally discovered his tall, thin father and his burly mother.
Xu Damao and Jiu'er were both dressed in formal attire. It was noon now, and the couple had been waiting here since morning.
I'm just afraid the train will be early.
Xu Shengli's greatest strength is that he is very considerate of others.
"Dad, Mom!" He waved and called out, but froze when he felt the movement behind him. Yuzhen, who was holding his clothes, suddenly tugged at his hand.
He knew very well that this was like an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her in-laws, and his wife was nervous.
He turned back and smiled gently at Yuzhen, then pointed to where Xu Damao and his wife were standing and said, "That's my dad, and that's my mom."
"Come on, let's go over there." With that, he reached out and took Deng Yuzhen's small hand, and led his wife in a long stride toward his parents.
Actually, Jiu'er was also nervous. She smiled and waved in the direction her son came from, while lowering her voice to ask Xu Damao beside her, "Damao, is there anything wrong with my clothes?"
Xu Damao glanced at his wife in surprise and said with a cheeky laugh, "People say that wives are nervous when they meet their in-laws, so why are you, the mother-in-law, nervous?"
Jiu'er's hand instinctively twisted around Xu Damao's waist. She said somewhat resentfully, "This is the first time our son has brought a girl home. You'd better watch your mouth."
If you scare my daughter-in-law away, I'll never forgive you.
Jiu'er's words were contradictory.
This is normal, because Xu Shengli has been keeping his marriage registration a secret from the couple until now.
His situation was quite tense at the time. Yuzhen's family was keeping a close eye on him, afraid that the young man would pull off a clever escape.
If Xu Shengli really runs back to Beijing, where will the people of the fishermen's village find him?
We can't afford to go down a lose-lose situation, can we?
The other unmarried young people in the village will be treated like thieves when they get married.
So at the time, we kept a low profile and just asked Xu Shengli to get the marriage certificate as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Xu Shengli transferred his household registration and grain ration to his work unit.
At the time, I was thinking that transferring my relationship to the south would make things easier for me in the future, such as promotions and advancements.
Unexpectedly, it came in handy when it came to getting a marriage certificate.
When he went home this time, he only sent a telegram saying that he would bring his girlfriend back.
As for the specifics, he was genuinely embarrassed to say.
"Dad, Mom, this is Yuzhen, she's my girlfriend." The chubby boy led the blushing girl to Xu Damao and his wife, introducing her in a very open and generous manner.
"Dad, Mom, hello, I'm Yuzhen." Although the girl was shy, she still introduced herself with her head down.
Jiu'er's scrutiny was inevitable.
When Jiu'er saw the girl's slightly protruding belly, her pupils widened involuntarily.
She stared incredulously at the girl's stomach, her elbow already bumping into Xu Damao.
"Hiss..." Xu Damao almost stumbled.
This was because Jiu'er was nervous and acted a little recklessly.
Xu Shengli naturally understood the source of his mother's nervousness and quickly explained, "Mom, Yuzhen and I have already registered our marriage."
Yuzhen is also pregnant.
We'll discuss the details when we get home.
"Huh? Oh... okay..." Jiu'er's brain was completely shut down by her son's words.
When she came to her senses, a surge of joy immediately welled up in her heart.
She shouted, "Da Mao, Da Mao, hurry up and call a donkey to come!"
Find someone stable and reliable.
The daughter-in-law couldn't stand the bumpy ride.
Before he could finish speaking, his hand had already been pulled over to his daughter-in-law, and he began to speak to her with gentle concern.
Xu Damao still hasn't realized what's happening.
He stood there, still wondering what was going on.
Originally, it was the son bringing his girlfriend home to meet his parents, but now it's the whole family of three coming back to visit?
This change is truly amazing.
He looked at his son, then at his unfamiliar daughter-in-law beside him, his face filled with disbelief.
"Hurry up!" Jiu'er urged again.
"Oh, good!" Xu Damao was about to leave, but then stopped and punched Xu Shengli in the chest, laughing, "Good lad, you've made your old man proud."
Hehe... (End of Chapter)
