Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 376 The in-laws meet

After Lin Qingyan explained some precautions to Lian Qing, she went with Gu Yizhou to purchase materials for building the house.

After buying the materials for building the house, they took them to Zhaojia Village and handed them over to Zhong Yun, who was given full responsibility for building the house.

The telegram that Gu Yizhou sent to his comrades also received a reply, and two comrades were willing to bring their families and children to Beijing.

Lin Qingyan and Gu Yizhou spent two days going to the relevant departments to help them handle the grain procedures, and then waited for their arrival.

On this day, Lin Qingyan was accompanying Liu Huizhen to set up a stall in front of the cinema. They had been setting up a stall here for several days in a row.

The quality of the clothes and the fact that you can try them on and not buy them if they don’t fit attract more people.

Liu Huizhen looked at the lively scene in front of her, which reminded her of the scenes of the past few years and made her sigh with emotion.

It would have been great if there had been such a policy a few years ago. At least it would have given those people hope and they would have persevered no matter how hard or tiring the life was, instead of letting many people die in depression.

Lin Qingyan looked at Liu Huizhen, who looked a little strange, and asked with concern:

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Huizhen's thoughts were interrupted. She slowly came back to her senses and looked at her daughter.

"Qingyan, school is about to start for you guys, right?"

"Yes, school starts next week."

"That will be soon. I wonder if your godfather and godmother are back? Let's find a time to pay them a visit. I have been in Beijing for such a long time and I haven't visited them. If people know, they will think we are impolite."

Liu Huizhen didn't know the personalities of Yu Zhengming and his wife, but according to the ancient traditions of our country, it is normal to visit them in person in such a situation.

"My godfather and godmother should be back. I'll go check on them tomorrow. If they're back, I'll ask them to come to my house for dinner."

Lin Qingyuan thought for a moment and suggested.

"That's fine. Go check it out tomorrow. You have a few other teachers, right? If they're all at home, invite them over as well.

I also thank them very much. If it weren't for their care, you might not have been admitted to university."

Liu Huizhen has always felt that her daughter’s admission to university had a lot to do with her teachers.

Lin Qingyan thought of Ouyang Zhao and his wife. Xie Qian was a famous architect. He took on a design job and was not in Beijing.

Ouyang Zhao went straight to accompany Xie Qian after the holiday, but now the time for school is getting closer, so Ouyang Zhao should be back.

"Okay, I'll go over there with Yizhou tomorrow to take a look."

As soon as Lin Qingyan finished speaking, she saw a familiar figure not far away. She was a little surprised and subconsciously looked at Gu Yizhou.

Gu Yizhou followed her line of sight and spotted his mother Lu Wan'er opposite him. He quickly stood up and walked over.

Liu Huizhen also noticed something strange and looked at Lin Qingyan:

"Who is that?"

"Mom, that's Gu Yizhou's mother."

Lin Qingyan briefly introduced Liu Huizhen and walked towards Lu Wan'er.

At this time, Gu Yizhou had already walked in front of Lu Wan'er.

"Mom, why are you here?"

Lu Wan'er glared at him and said in a dissatisfied tone:

"Last time you said you would find an opportunity for me to meet Qingyan's mother, but several days have passed and there has been no movement from you.

You will be starting school soon. How can I meet them when you leave Beijing?"

"Mom has been very busy lately and hasn't had any free time."

Gu Yizhou said to Lu Wan'er with a smile.

"You are busy, then can you tell me what you are busy with?" Lu Wan'er glared at him.

Gu Yizhou touched his nose, not knowing how to respond.

At this time, Lin Qingyan walked up and greeted Lu Waner with a smile:

"Auntie, why do you have time to come here? Are you here to watch a movie?"

Lu Wan'er subconsciously smiled.

"I just happened to be here to do something, and I passed by and saw what looked like you from afar. What are you doing?"

Lu Wan'er pointed in the direction of Liu Huizhen.

"Auntie, my mom is making taro balls over there. Let's go over and have a taste."

Lin Qingyan walked up to Lu Wan'er, took her arm and led her forward.

Actually, Lu Wan'er was not used to being so close to others, but in front of his future in-laws and his son, he couldn't just pull his arm away, so he could only let Lin Qingyan pull him forward.

From afar, she saw a woman in her 50s who was dressed simply and cleanly, with her hair neatly combed and a bright smile on her face.

Her first impression was that Lin Qingyan’s mother was easier to get along with than Lin Qingyan, which made her slowly put her mind at ease.

When Liu Huizhen learned that it was Gu Yizhou's mother, she was a little surprised. She was still surprised to meet her future in-laws so early when she saw Lin Qingyan pull Gu Yizhou's mother directly over.

She quickly smiled and said to Lin Qingyan who was approaching:

"Qingyan, what is this?"

Not yet. Before Lin Qingyan could answer, Gu Yizhou answered first.

"Aunt, this is my mother!"

After Gu Yizhou finished speaking, he turned to Lu Wan'er and said, "Mom, this is Qingyan's mother."

Liu Huizhen immediately turned on his social bull mode and said in surprise:

"Yizhou, you didn't lie to me. This is your mother, not your sister."

Gu Yizhou reacted quickly and said to Liu Huizhen with a smile:

"Aunt, this is really my mother. My sister is not in Beijing right now. I will introduce you to her when she comes back next time."

Lu Wan'er originally had a somewhat awkward and arrogant personality, but she smiled subconsciously when she heard Liu Huizhen say this.

"Hello, I'm Lu Wan'er, I'm 51 years old. I wonder who is older between us?"

Liu Huizhen said with a smile:

"Hello, Liu Huizhen, I am older, 53 years old this year, so I will be more generous and call you big sister."

After Liu Huizhen finished speaking, she walked over, pulled Lu Wan'er, and took her to sit at the table next to her.

This table is what they brought from home as they often set up stalls here recently. After the stall is closed, they put it directly at the old lady's house.

Lin Qingyan was very discerning and served Lu Wan'er a bowl of taro balls and placed it in front of her:

"Auntie, try this taro ball my mom made."

"Yes, big sister, come and try it to see how it's done."

Lu Wan'er looked at the colorful taro balls in the bowl. They looked delicious, but the education she received since childhood did not allow her to eat casually outside, especially on the busy streets.

She was a little hesitant and a little embarrassed, but she hesitated for only a moment before taking a spoon and scooping a spoonful of taro balls into her mouth.

Lu Wan'er is very particular about what she eats, which can be seen from the way she eats.

Lin Qingyan looked at her and guessed that she probably hadn't eaten outside, so she quickly served a bowl to Liu Huizhen, Gu Yizhou and herself.

This way, it doesn't seem so strange for four people to sit there and eat together.

Lu Wan'er also saw Lin Qingyan's actions, and her mood relaxed, so she smiled and said to Liu Huizhen:

"Sister, the taro balls you made are delicious, better than some restaurant desserts."
