Chapter 423: Chapter 397: Can’t Help but Laugh and Cry (Thanks to Shui Yu Qing Lang Yun Xian Pa for the +5 reward)

Huh? The old man with the black face from the Yu Family, actually had such a romantic and considerate past? Indeed, one should not judge a person by their appearance.

Mother Yu got annoyed just thinking about this matter. She slammed the table, scaring Panpan who was eating ice cream and dropping her spoon. Panpan pouted and looked at her grandmother with a wronged expression.

Mother Yu quickly put on a gentle smile, patting her little grandson and signaling him to continue eating.

“Do you know what he did to that boxed lunch?”

“What?”

“He took a pen and wrote a line of words on the inside of the iron lunchbox lid. ‘Comrade Qi Jiao, you look great in a floral dress.’

Pfft! Uncle really knows how to pamper people.”

“Pamper my ass! He accidentally dyed my clothes while doing laundry at home. I only had one white Dacron shirt, which was a luxury those days. I usually couldn’t bear to wear it, but he washed it with a red sock. The color bled badly, and knowing that he made a mess, he came over to show his goodwill.”

Xiao Qian was about to burst into laughter when she imagined the serious Major General Yu doing such a thing.

But the funnier part was yet to come.

“He must’ve been out of his mind. When he wrote on the lunchbox lid, he also stuffed a huge cornbread inside, filling the whole box. When I opened it, half of the ink had been rubbed onto the cornbread. But that wasn’t the most embarrassing part. That day, I was just setting a patient’s bones and asked a nurse to heat my lunch. When she returned, she probably was afraid of burning herself, so she opened the lid and then…”

Even now, Mother Yu could never forget the expressions of everyone in that room.

After that, she got a nickname at the hospital called “Floral Dress”…

When she returned, she almost scratched Father Yu’s face. Mother Yu told these stories with gritted teeth, making Xiao Qian laugh so hard her stomach hurt.

Perhaps it wouldn’t be so funny if it was someone else. But thinking that it had been done by the Yu Family’s stubborn and tough old man, it was inexplicably hilarious.

“So, I figured it out. He passed on all his bad habits to his son. When I was pregnant with your Second Brother, I went to see your uncle. As soon as he was born, your father rushed over to push the midwife aside and grinned at your Second Brother. As a result, your Second Brother inherited his foolishness.”

It’s said that a child’s first sight resembles whoever they first see. Father Yu couldn’t be there when his eldest was born, which was a great pity, but he managed to be there for the birth of his second child, which brought great anticipation.

“I’m truly envious of you and uncle’s relationship. It’s so good.”

From that era of extreme material scarcity, they had supported each other all the way through their lives, birthed great children together, and still loved each other as much as they did when they were young. Just casually sharing stories of their passionate youth and iron-blooded romance was enough to stuff people’s mouths with dog food.

“It’s true. All of our children inherited this quality to take love seriously from us. However, the one I worry most about is your Second Brother. Your uncle and I owe him a lot, as we didn’t give immediate attention to his psychological changes, leading to his unhappy marriage.”

Mother Yu still lamented about Second Brother’s divorce. Her son almost couldn’t fly anymore, and she was filled with guilt.

“You can’t say it’s all your fault. It’s quite common for children to have this kind of character. Many children have similar issues, but they just don’t stand in the position of Second Brother, so their faults don’t show.”

Although Xiao Qian comforted Mother Yu with this, she couldn’t help but think that the emotional intelligence of someone like Second Brother was indeed rare.

Although he was almost 30, his upbringing was very simple. He grew up in the Family Home, became a pilot who conquered the blue sky, and then continued his career as a pilot which required high energy and physical exhaustion. He had no chance to engage with the outside world or even meet women. It would definitely be a thorny situation if he inadvertently met someone like Wang Xiaohong.

“Xiao Qian, I don’t know much about your roommate, but she seems like a pretty good kid. But before, she used to call me ‘Grandma.’ If she really has something going on with your Second Brother, I honestly -”

“You should be happy. It’s like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse, a natural pair.”

“…” Can you praise people like that?

“Aunt, based on my experience, these two are actually very suitable for living together. First, look at Second Brother’s character. He’s quite introverted, and Da Yi’s the same. Although some people say that couples need to complement each other, it’s not always the case. If two people who both like to have their own space end up with a very talkative partner, at least one of them would feel unbalanced in the relationship. But the tacit understanding between Da Yi and Second Brother prevents them from feeling they owe each other anything.”

One of the reasons why Wang Xiaohong couldn’t get along with Yu Mingyi was the lack of common language between them.

Yu Mingyi was a man who would remain silent no matter what was said, while Wang Xiaohong wouldn’t stop chattering. He couldn’t absorb what she said, and her silence made her feel ignored. Both of them felt unbalanced inside.

But it wouldn’t be the case when he’s with Dong Yi. Judging from their situation the last time they had dinner together, Xiao Qian already noticed that although Yu Mingyi didn’t have much conversation with Da Yi, they could understand each other’s intentions with just one glance, and they enjoyed that.

“But the age gap between her and your Second Brother is a bit too much. They are almost 10 years apart…” Mother Yu still considered the situation from various aspects.

“Age is just a matter of perspective. Second Brother may be a few years older, but I don’t think his psychological age is that old either. His environment is too simple, and he isn’t exposed to many things from the outside world or complicated thoughts. Actually, this is a good thing. Also, men generally appear younger than women, so an age gap of a few years doesn’t make much difference when they get old.”

She and Yu Minglang were also several years apart in age, but they were still getting along well.

“But your Second Brother also has a child. Da Yi hasn’t graduated from college yet. Is it appropriate for her to become a stepmother right away? Isn’t that unfair to her?”

To be honest, from the perspective of an unmarried younger woman, Mother Yu felt it wasn’t quite plausible. On one hand, the girl was young and inexperienced. Nobody knew what would happen in the future. If she regretted her decision after a few years, her son would become a thrice-married man with a child. On the other hand, from Da Yi’s point of view, this marriage would be unfair to her as well.

“Whether it’s unfair or not is not up to us. It depends on what Da Yi thinks. Based on my observations, her admiration for Second Brother has reached the depths of her bones. Even if Second Brother farts, she would feel that it’s filled with the fragrance of the blue sky.” freewēbnoveℓ.com

The analogy might be crude, but it was appropriate. Dong Yi had a special idolization for Second Brother Yu and liked everything he did.

Although Xiao Qian didn’t know whether this was simply a woman’s admiration for a man or a deep-rooted impression from childhood that transformed into affection, emotions are unique and impossible to replicate.
