“They’re here. “
“Okay,” a man answered and then opened the door. He was a man in his 50s with a neat short hair and some white hair. He was 1.7 meters tall, not short, but full of spirit. He looked at Yuan Zhou fastidiously.
After all, it was the pig Yuan Zhou who had stolen the fresh cabbage.
“It seems that the father-in-law is more difficult to deal with than the mother-in-law. Fortunately, I was prepared.” Yuan Zhou thought in the heart.
“Hello, uncle. I’m yin ya’s boyfriend, Yuan Zhou. It’s my first time visiting you. I’m sorry for being impolite,” Yuan Zhou bent his waist slightly and said courteously.
“The number one chef in Asia, Xiaoya has been talking about him in our ears all day long.” Papa Yin looked at Yuan Zhou and nodded his head in satisfaction. Yuan Zhou was a man who had won honor for the country and had such achievements before the age of 30.
Papa Yin had thought that he would be in high spirits, but he didn’t expect Yuan Zhou to be so calm.
“Daddy.” Yin ya stomped her foot lightly and called out discontentedly.
At this moment, a gentle voice came from inside the door,””Old Yin, who’s here? why aren’t you inviting him in?”
“It’s little Yuan. This young man is quite energetic. Come, come, come, come in quickly.” Papa Yin welcomed Yuan Zhou into the restaurant enthusiastically.
Yin ya’s home was neither too big nor too small. It had a layout of three bedrooms and one living room, about 100 square meters in size. The moment they entered the house, they saw a shoe cabinet. Under Yin ya’s instructions, they changed their shoes and then entered the house with two boxes.
As soon as they entered, they saw a huge living room. The dining room was located near the balcony and was connected to the balcony. In the middle, there was a bead curtain separating the two, making the space seem particularly large.
There were small pots of green plants all around. There were all kinds of them, some were evergreen, some were in full bloom, and they looked very lively.
“Hello, Auntie. Hello, uncle. I’m yuan Zhou.” As soon as Yuan Zhou entered the restaurant, he saw a charming woman who looked very similar to Yin ya. Therefore, he immediately greeted her obediently.
“Little Yuan, right? why did you bring so many things? we’re just here for a meal. There’s no need to be so Grand.” When Yin ya’s mother saw the dignified and well-mannered Yuan Zhou, she liked him more.
“I heard from Yin ya that auntie’s legs aren’t very good in winter. I bought a foot massage kit for you. You can also soak your feet in it. There are also Chinese medicine packets in it. The effect is quite good. Auntie, you can try it when you have time.” Yuan Zhou handed the well-packaged basin to Mama Yin with both hands.
“Yin ya’s father has gone to take a look at this brand. It’s selling very well, but there’s no more stock. I didn’t expect that you could buy it, little Yuan. The effect is quite good. I’ll give it a try when I have time.” Mrs. Yin smiled in relief.
Obviously, Yuan Zhou’s attentiveness made her very happy. Only by treating them with attentiveness could she treat her daughter with more attentiveness, right?
Papa Yin remained unmoved. He was a more rational person, and he felt that the most important thing was to treat his daughter well, not to make some fancy gift.
In any case, Papa Yin wouldn’t be bought over by a gift!
“I heard that you like to play Chinese Chess. While I was studying cooking, I also learned carpentry, which is quite good, so I made a set of Chinese Chess for you. I hope you can play two games with your friends.” While saying that, Yuan Zhou squatted down and opened the box, revealing the rich contents inside.
She handed a beautifully wrapped package to Papa Yin and continued to brush up on her mother-in-law.
After all, with Yuan Zhou’s sharp eyes, he could naturally see that the status of his mother-in-law at home was quite high. If he could win over his mother-in-law, he would at least have more than half the success.
“Auntie, I’m a chef. I’m sure you’ve heard Xiaoya mention me before. These are some snacks and cured products I made. I hope you like them.” Yuan Zhou changed the way he addressed her without changing his expression.
It wouldn’t be a dream for him to change his status and marry a fair and tender wife.
“Oh? I made it myself. “
On the other side, Papa Yin was very curious when he got the package. Although it wasn’t very polite to open the gift in person, Papa Yin was different. Firstly, he was an elder, and secondly, to be honest, he was very curious about the chess pieces carved by Yuan Zhou.
As soon as he opened it, the first thing he saw was a golden chessboard. The Chu, he, han, and han boundaries were very clear on it, and the words were strong. At a glance, he could tell that the person who wrote it had good wrist strength and some Foundation. The squares were horizontal and vertical, and whether it was the nine-Palace squares or other horizontal lines, the vertical lines were very clear. There was also a faint fragrance, which seemed to be the smell of the wood itself.
Papa Yin had no experience with this, and as a teacher, he’d spent his entire life teaching and educating people. He’d never come into contact with wood before, and naturally didn’t know that the go board was made from the core of the precious yellow Rosewood. It was only a few days later when an old friend came to visit them for the new year that he found out, and he almost worshiped the board.
“It looks very good. The handiwork is very neat.” But this didn’t stop him from admiring the go board.
There was a dark box next to it, and it was obvious that it was where the chess pieces were placed. When it was opened, thirty-two chess pieces were neatly arranged inside.
Yuan Zhou made the chess pieces with his heart. Nowadays, Chinese Chess was usually black and red in color. The difference wasn’t the wood used to make the chess pieces, but the color of the paint used to engrave the words “horse carriage” and “horse carriage” on the chess pieces.
However, in order to be serious, the black and red scented pears were specially chosen to carve the chess pieces. One could imagine how meticulous the person was. Only Yuan Zhou was able to find them. If someone else tried it, it would be difficult even for ordinary scented pears to gather all the colors, let alone using the core of the chess piece like Yuan Zhou.
“This is good, this chess piece is good. It’s creative. Not bad, not bad.” Papa Yin looked at the red chess pieces and the black words written on them, very happy.
“You’re not bad, kid. ” Papa Yin was pleased.
They felt that Yuan Zhou, this young man, knew how to cater to his preferences when giving gifts. The most important thing was that he was willing to put in effort, which was more important than anything else.
Papa Yin touched the chess piece, which was as warm as Jade. He didn’t know the details, but he knew that the wood was definitely not cheap, but he didn’t say anything. This was a gift from his future son-in-law, and it wasn’t something that could be measured with money.
However, after she gave her favorite to Yuan Zhou, the atmosphere gradually became more harmonious. Although Yuan Zhou was usually serious and reserved, everything he said was the truth. Moreover, with his expression, his credibility increased gradually. Therefore, the worry in Yin ya’s heart was completely put down.
After a while, Mama Yin pulled Yin ya to the kitchen to prepare lunch, leaving Papa Yin and Yuan Zhou to talk.
“Kid, do you know how to play Chinese Chess?” Papa Yin’s hands itched as he looked at the beautiful pieces.
“I know a little, but I’m not good at it. I’ve played with my elders before.” Yuan Zhou said bluntly.
“Come, come, come, let’s play another round. Don’t go easy on me.” Upon hearing that Yuan Zhou knew how to play, Papa Yin immediately beamed with joy and pulled Yuan Zhou to start playing Go to relieve his go addiction.
Papa Yin’s go addiction was acting up, and he was prepared to play a game before dinner. It didn’t take long for the pieces to be set up, and they began to fight.
