At home, Yan Bingxue stood at the kitchen door for quite a while, hesitating before finally knocking and walking in.
"Mom, I'll help you."
Su's Mother was washing vegetables. When she saw her come in, she hurriedly said, "Oh, Bing Xue, no need, no need! You don't need to help here!"
"The kitchen's such a mess. Don't come in, or you'll get your clothes wet later. Go play with the children outside. I can handle things here."
Yan Bingxue did not move. Su's Mother's hands were wet, so it was not convenient for her to push Yan Bingxue out again.
Yan Bingxue said, "Mom, Tuantuan and Lele are outside watching TV and playing with the toys you bought them. They're both very well-behaved, so there won't be any trouble. I've finished dealing with my work too, so let me help you out. It's tiring for one person to prepare food for the whole family."
"Oh, Bing Xue, you're such a considerate, good child! But Mom really doesn't need your help. This is how Mom has always done things at home, haha. I can manage. Go rest for a while!" Su's Mother said cheerfully.
Yan Bingxue shook her head. "I'm not tired, Mom. I'll help you pick the vegetables. You and Dad came all this way carrying so many gifts. You must be tired too. I'll just sit beside you and pick and wash the vegetables. It won't be tiring."
Seeing how insistent she was, Su's Mother smiled and nodded. "All right. Just help me pick the vegetables. Don't get your hands in water or oil."
"Mhm." Yan Bingxue answered, then took a small stool and sat down obediently beside her to pick the vegetables.
From time to time, Su's Mother lowered her head to look at her, and her delight grew stronger and stronger.
Her daughter-in-law was truly beautiful! And she was filial too. If she treated her this well, she must treat her son even better~
Su's Mother understood it clearly. This was her daughter-in-law's first time meeting her, so she was surely still a little unfamiliar with her. The reason she was behaving so well was all because she loved her son~
Wonderful~ Her daughter-in-law was wonderful, and Tuantuan and Lele were wonderful too~ Her son's little family was truly so happy~
Su's Mother was delighted, and even her movements became brisker.
"Bing Xue, does my Chenchen treat you well normally? He hasn't bullied you, has he?"
"If that brat bullies you, just tell Mom. Mom will beat him up for you~" Su's Mother said to Yan Bingxue as she washed the vegetables.
Yan Bingxue was not quite used to this kind of family-chat atmosphere. Her cheeks reddened slightly, and she lowered her head with a faint smile. "Mom, Chenchen hasn't bullied me. He treats both the children and me very well."
Su Chen and Su's Father returned carrying alcohol. As soon as he entered, he smelled the fragrance of soup simmering in the kitchen. He immediately walked over and saw Yan Bingxue picking vegetables while his mother washed them. The scene was both harmonious and warm.
Su Chen could not help smiling. This scene was simply too beautiful!
Su's Mother had cooked for half her life, and her hands were incredibly quick. Six dishes and one soup were finished in a little over an hour.
The family sat down to eat together in joyful harmony.
Su's Mother kept putting food into Yan Bingxue's bowl. It was obvious that she was utterly satisfied with her daughter-in-law~
As they ate, Su's Mother suddenly remembered where they would stay that night and hurriedly asked Su's Father, "Old Su, did you book a hotel nearby? It'll be too late later, and I'm worried there won't be any rooms nearby."
When Su's Father heard that, he immediately grinned. His face was full of delight as he said with a hint of pride, "No need to book a room. We'll sleep at our son's house!"
Su's Mother froze for a moment, then frowned. "Old Su, have you lost your mind? There are only two rooms here, and the children are here too. Are we supposed to sleep on the floor? Our daughter-in-law is right here, so don't talk nonsense~"
"No, not here. At our son's own house~"
Seeing the astonishment on Su's Mother's face, Su's Father smiled and said, "Our son bought a house himself! It's a super huge villa worth over seventy million! Our son paid for it in full! Honey, our son is amazing now!"
Su's Mother was both shocked and delighted. Her eyes widened as she looked at her son, unable to say anything for a long while.
Yan Bingxue was also somewhat stunned.
Su Chen bought a house? How did she not know?
And it was even a seventy-million villa. Could it be...
Tuantuan blinked her big, adorable eyes and clapped happily. "Yay~ Daddy bought a new house~ We can move into a new home again~ I'm so happy~"
Lele had not expected Su Chen to buy a new house for them either. The little fellow could not help secretly glancing at Su Chen, his expression carrying a hint of surprise and joy.
Su's Mother finally came back to her senses and said in utter shock, "Son, you bought a house? A villa worth over seventy million, and you paid in full? Son, where did you get so much money?"
Before Su Chen could explain, Su's Father had already proudly taken over.
"Our son is amazing, of course~ He knows how to make those mechas, that high-tech stuff none of us understands. Back in college, he designed mech toys and made a lot of money!"
The person who had not believed it on the way there had been him, yet now that he was explaining it to Su's Mother, he was already full of pride~
Su's Mother was so happy that she cried. She nodded gently and said, "That's wonderful~ Son, you're truly amazing!"
"Your father and I originally came this time to help you look at houses. We never expected my son to be so capable that he'd buy himself a huge villa!"
"Son, from now on, your little family is officially established. You, your daughter-in-law, Tuantuan, and Lele must live together happily!"
"You're so outstanding. Your father and I are both happy for you!"
Su Chen took a tissue and wiped his mother's tears, smiling as he said, "Mom~ This is such a happy occasion, don't cry~"
"All right, all right~ Mom won't cry. These are tears of happiness!"
"Son, are we going to stay at the new house tonight?"
Su Chen nodded. "Mhm."
Tuantuan shouted happily, "Yay~ We're going to see the big house Daddy bought later~"
"Tuantuan, I'll take you to choose a room later."
"Mhm, mhm!"
The family happily finished dinner. Because Su Chen had bought a house, Su's Father specially opened a bottle of wine. Everyone raised their glasses and drank a little together, their faces all filled with happy smiles.
On the table were the steaming hot dishes Su's Mother had made, all carrying the flavors of home. Beside him were the people closest to him. Su Chen felt that life was simply wonderful~
After dinner, Su Chen had his parents play with the two children for a while. He would wash the dishes, then they would head to the new house once he was done.
Yan Bingxue also helped clear the dishes and followed him inside to help.
Su's Mother had originally planned to wash the dishes, but Su's Father stopped her and whispered, "Let our son wash them. Both our son and daughter-in-law are there. Why are you joining in the fun?"
Su's Mother immediately understood and nodded. "Right, we need to give them more space to be alone together~"
"Tuantuan, Lele, shall Grandpa and Grandma play with you?"
"Okay~"
