"understood."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yourong's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. Through several layers of clothing, she gently pinched Yu Huan's lower back.
Yu Huan carefully felt the force...
Ok.
It belongs to the category of people who are full of love and intimacy.
The pure love warrior was clearly in a good mood, as if the compliments had hit her sweet spot.
A cold wind blew by, and his hair flew wildly behind him. His teasing words also drifted away with the wind: "No one is perfect, and my wife, your only little flaw is that you have an itchy hand and like to pinch people."
Lin Yourong listened carefully and understood what he said, then immediately retorted coquettishly, "Get lost!"
Seeing Yu Huan slowly turn around, he released his crab-like hand and followed him across the threshold of the shop.
Yu Huan noticed that everyone was wandering around in the kitchen, so she took Lin Yourong with her without hesitation.
Yu Songnian was leaning against the doorway when he saw them. He was about to move aside when he vaguely saw Yu Huan raise her hand and hand something over.
Upon closer inspection, he realized it was Furongwang cigarettes, and a smile immediately spread across his face, revealing his neat but slightly yellowed teeth.
Yu Songnian accepted the two packs of cigarettes without hesitation, quickly stuffed them into his pocket, raised his eyebrows exaggeratedly, and shouted loudly, "Thank you, Brother Huan! Brother Huan is so generous!"
The final sound of each word was drawn out, as if it were being slowly squeezed out from the depths of the throat.
Upon hearing this affectedly obsequious tone, Yu Huan pulled her mask down to her chin, took a breath of fresh air, and couldn't help but chuckle as she emphasized, "You want to take both packs? Give one to your fourth uncle!"
"Alright!" Yu Songnian hurriedly went into the kitchen, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and handed it to Lao Yu.
This scene brought a smile to Lao Yu's face.
But just as he raised his hand, Teacher Wu, who was standing nearby, quickly snatched the cigarette from him and stuffed it into Yu Songnian's down jacket pocket.
"Songnian, you can have this. Your fourth uncle just recovered from tonsillitis, so we can't let him smoke and irritate his throat."
Upon hearing this, and seeing Old Yu's beaming face just now, Yu Songnian hesitated for a moment before taking out a cigarette from his pocket.
Seeing this, Lao Yu could only nod and, following Teacher Wu's lead, smiled and said, "I should smoke less."
Yu Huan strode forward and, as he passed Yu Songnian, pushed his broad hand to the side of his pocket: "Since your uncle has said so, then take it."
"Alright, thank you, Fourth Uncle! Thank you, Brother Huan!" Yu Songnian's eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled, and he casually stuffed the cigarette back into his pocket.
I was delighted to receive two packs of Furongwang cigarettes.
Yu Huan stuffed the Coke into the other pocket of Yu Songnian's down jacket, handed the mineral water to Lao Yu, and then walked without stopping to the innermost part of the stove.
I once came with Yu Chengcheng to move kitchen utensils, and the kitchenware underneath looked a bit messy because of his previous handling.
He crouched down to examine it briefly, then took out two double-handled pots stacked together from the top, with a large frying spoon placed diagonally inside.
Then he straightened up, turned around, and said with a smile, "Mom, these two pots look pretty new. They haven't been used much. Take them back, wash them, and oil them to maintain their condition. They'll look brand new."
Upon hearing the voice, Teacher Wu turned around and examined it carefully.
It's noticeably larger than the wok we use at home, and it doesn't even have a handle.
However, after a moment's thought, she said, "Okay, it's almost Chinese New Year, and I was just thinking of buying a big pot to braise dishes."
Yu Huan nodded slightly: "Okay, shall we go and take a look at the community? The supermarket owner said that there is a notice about demolition posted in the community."
Yu Songnian was drinking his cola with his head tilted back when he heard this. He quickly swallowed the bubbly, icy liquid and then chimed in, "Brother Huan! Isn't this demolition process going a bit too fast? The demolition area was only just designated a few months ago!"
"It's alright, considering it's a key project for the city." Yu Huan smiled calmly and walked forward.
Teacher Wu's gaze lingered on the wok he was carrying. As he approached, she reached out to help him pick up the spatula inside and then walked out of the kitchen.
Lin Yourong stood gracefully at the entrance, sipping her cola little by little. Seeing this, one knew she was about to leave the shop and head to the community service center.
She quickly tightened the cap on the Coke bottle, then lowered her head slightly and pulled up the mask hanging under her chin to completely cover her mouth and nose.
The edges of the mask fit snugly against the delicate contours of her face, leaving only a pair of bright and lively almond-shaped eyes that shone with a clear light.
As Teacher Wu approached, he looked at her beautiful features and liked her more and more.
This daughter-in-law is even more beautiful in real life than on TV!
Lin Yourong looked up and saw her mother-in-law smiling at her. She held her breath slightly and quickly returned the smile politely.
He then turned around and followed closely beside Yu Huan.
The rhythmic sound of footsteps echoed through the shops.
Suddenly, Yu Huan stopped at the door and said to her with a smile, "Wife, take the key from my coat pocket and lock the door."
"Okay," Lin Yourong replied softly.
Not a moment.
After Yu Huan put the pot and spatula into the trunk of the BMW, the group headed towards the community service center, braving the biting cold wind.
Yu Huan tucked Lin Yourong's slightly cool hand into his pocket and turned to Teacher Wu beside him, asking, "Mom, what would you like to eat tonight? Let's just eat out."
Hearing this, Ms. Wu gently shook her head, a gentle smile appearing on her face, and said, "Your dad and I brought so many dishes over, I'll cook dinner."
“Yeah, what are we going to eat out?” Old Yu chimed in.
Lin Yourong pursed her lips slightly behind her mask.
After a moment's thought, she felt that she should follow her husband's lead and try to persuade her in-laws...?
She then said softly, "Mom, it's rare for you and Dad to come all this way, how can I let you cook? It's nice to eat out for a special meal once in a while, to try something new."
“Rongrong is right, how about…” Yu Huan thought for a moment.
In his past life, after working for a few years, he had enough money, and whenever he had the chance, he would take his parents out for hot pot.
There's no other reason than that my own mother likes it.
Thinking of this, he suggested, "Shall we go eat hot pot?"
Teacher Wu waved her hand and said without hesitation, "Your dad's throat has just healed, why would he want hot pot?"
Yu Huan quickly explained, "There are also non-spicy hot pots, like coconut chicken hot pot."
Old Yu chuckled and interjected, "We ate too much at lunch, so we can just have something simple at home for dinner. The dishes are all ready-made, and nothing outside is as clean and hygienic as home-cooked food."
Seeing her parents' firm stance, Yu Huan had no choice but to nod helplessly, "Alright then." Teacher Wu walked forward slowly, leaning slightly forward as she went.
Her gaze passed over Yu Huan in the middle and landed on Lin Yourong. She said with a smile, "Yourong, I'll cook dinner tonight. You worked hard at lunch too."
Lin Yourong's hand, which was in Yu Huan's pocket, unconsciously tightened slightly. She hurriedly said, "Mom, this is your first time here—"
"How about this, Mom will cook tonight, and you can help out," Yu Huan said with a smile, gently scratching her palm.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yourong grabbed his fingers and nodded slightly with her chin: "Alright, I'll do as you say."
Seeing this heartwarming scene, Old Yu thought to himself, "My brat is quite capable! Even his celebrity daughter-in-law is completely subservient to him."
He then said with a smile, "Let's have dinner early tonight, and after we go to the community center, we'll head home."
“Okay,” Yu Huan replied.
In less than ten minutes, they arrived at the community service center.
On one side of the front yard, there is a stainless steel bulletin board covered with all sorts of documents and notices.
The couple walked hand in hand with Lao Yu ahead, while Yu Songnian idly drank cola on the side, and Teacher Wu strolled into the community service center to enjoy the air conditioning.
Yu Huan took out a can of cola from his pocket and skillfully unscrewed the cap with one hand.
He sipped his cola slowly while carefully examining several public notices regarding the demolition of Xiangchun Road.
One of them was a competitive selection announcement issued by the subdistrict office, which specified the project overview and the scope of demolition.
The general idea is that the expropriation work will be outsourced, inviting qualified companies to participate in a competitive selection process for the project.
The other document is the demolition assessment notice that the supermarket owner mentioned.
Before we knew it, the cold wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the moisture in the air was getting thicker.
When you breathe, the dampness and coldness penetrate your lungs through your nasal cavity, making you feel a bit tight in your chest and short of breath.
Yu Huan read it word by word, sensing an impending rain, and frowned slightly.
He put the Coke bottle back on and put it back in his pocket. In his other pocket, he gently held Lin Yourong's soft hand and turned to Lao Yu, saying, "Dad, it looks like it's going to rain again. Let's go back."
"Aren't you going to leave your contact information?" Old Yu asked.
“No need. As the restaurant owner, I definitely have my phone number in the community.” As Yu Huan said this, he felt Lin Yourong tug at his palm, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
Old Yu tightened his collar, nodded, and said, "Okay, let's hurry up and get out of here before we get caught in the rain."
Lin Yourong tucked her entire hand into her sleeve, raised her arm to press her fisherman's hat tighter, and instinctively pressed her body against Yu Huan.
Yu Songnian pulled up the hood of his down jacket, tightened the elastic, revealing his two round cheeks, and muttered, "It looks like it'll snow again tomorrow."
"The weather forecast says it will be light rain mixed with snow," Yu Huan said.
Seeing Lao Yu wave to Teacher Wu inside the community service center, Teacher Wu opened the glass door and came out. Yu Huan then confidently took Lin Yourong's hand and turned to walk.
The group began to walk back.
The cold wind seemed to be constantly pushing them, making their steps a little lighter.
The sky gradually darkened, and dark clouds surged overhead, urging them to hurry back to the car.
In an instant, the biting cold wind and the impending cold rain were shut out of the car.
After starting the engine, Yu Huan's immediate priority was to turn the air conditioning and heating to the highest setting, and then place his hands on the air vents.
The humming heating air flowed out continuously like hot spring water, and the warmth enveloped his palms like silk threads, making him feel instantly comfortable.
After warming his hands, he raised his right hand to release the handbrake, gripped the steering wheel with his left hand, and gently pressed the accelerator to drive the BMW away from the curb.
Old Yu tilted his head slightly, looked out the car window at the gloomy sky, and casually said, "This rain has been falling since last night until this morning. It stopped for so long, but the sky is still so gloomy, like it's about to rain again."
Upon hearing this, Ms. Wu, who was sitting in the middle, smiled and spoke without hesitation.
"There are several reasons for this. After such a long period of light rain, some condensation nuclei have been consumed, which may result in water vapor lacking enough suitable attachment points to gather and form water droplets. Perhaps the atmosphere is relatively stable after the light rain, with weak vertical movement and a lack of strong convection or effective dynamic mechanisms to lift the moist air."
Lin Yourong knew long ago that her father-in-law and mother-in-law were both high school teachers.
After all, he was the ideal son-in-law chosen by her parents. Regardless of his appearance and character, his family background must be quite good as well.
However, upon hearing these seemingly casual words, she couldn't help but turn around and look at her mother-in-law in surprise.
Their eyebrows and eyes are identical.
But suddenly she felt a sense of surprise and admiration.
Lin Yourong's eyes sparkled with curiosity as she asked, "Mom, what subject do you teach?"
"Mom teaches high school physics," Yu Huan replied casually as she turned the steering wheel to the left.
"Oh."
Lin Yourong nodded thoughtfully, her mind racing as she considered how to offer some praise...
Her lips had barely moved when Teacher Wu grasped her slightly cool right hand and continued with a smile:
"You Rong, there's another reason, which is less likely given the current situation, that might be the presence of a temperature inversion layer. This restricts the vertical movement of air, making it difficult for the moist air near the ground to reach higher altitudes to cool and condense. That's why the weather is overcast and humid, but there's no more rain."
Yu Huan gripped the steering wheel with both hands and glanced at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law through the rearview mirror.
His gaze fell on their clasped hands, then quickly returned to the road.
He interjected half-jokingly, "Mom, Rongrong is a liberal arts student who studied Marxism, but then she switched careers to become a singer. You shouldn't be talking to a brick wall."
The voice just fell.
Yu Songnian couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing: "Brother Huan, it's really not that bad. Even someone like me without a college degree can understand it."
Lin Yourong pushed up the headrest of the driver's seat and said coquettishly, "What do you mean by talking to a brick wall? I'm not stupid!"
“Exactly!” Teacher Wu nodded gently, her tone full of protectiveness towards her daughter-in-law. “It’s just some common sense in life. You Rong is so smart and quick-witted, not like you with your blockhead. How could she not understand?”
Surrounded by onlookers, Yu Huan chuckled and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I misspoke."
