Chapter 517 Father and son talk
On the other side, Father Bai looked around as soon as he entered the house, and was a little disappointed when he saw that there was no one in the living room.
"Honey, you're back." Bai's mother came out of the kitchen and greeted Bai's father.
"Well, where are Chenchen and that girl?" asked Father Bai. He rushed back in such a hurry, could the two children have left?
"They are resting in Chenchen's room and will be down soon." Bai's mother said.
Father Bai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this. At this moment, a voice came from the stairs: "Dad, you're back."
Bai Chen pulled Xue'er into the room and spent some time intimately with her. Xue'er insisted on coming out to help Bai's mother do something. She always felt uneasy staying in the room. Finally, Bai Chen couldn't persuade her and had to take her downstairs again.
"Xue'er, come here!" Bai's mother turned around and saw Bai Chen pulling Xue'er down. She hurriedly greeted him and introduced him to Xue'er, "This is Chenchen's father."
"Hello, uncle!" Xue'er said politely.
"Okay, kid, just treat yourself as if you're at home here. Don't be shy!" Father Bai observed the little girl in front of him. She looked like a high school student, fair-skinned and quite polite, but she spoke in a soft voice, as if she was afraid of him.
"Well, thank you, uncle." Xue'er said politely. She felt that Bai Chen's parents were very nice and enthusiastic towards her.
"Okay, you guys go to the living room and chat! I'll go tell the kitchen that they can start cooking. Xueer, you must eat more tonight." Bai's mother said.
"Aunt, I'll go with you and see if I can help." Xue'er said. She couldn't sit still anymore.
"No need, go and play with Chenchen! I'll call you when dinner is ready." Bai's mother said.
"Aunt, please take me there! I'm very good at working." Xue'er begged, and Bai Chen also signaled to his mother to listen to Xue'er!
Then Xueer followed Bai's mother into the kitchen. Xueer helped pick, wash and cut vegetables. She was quite happy doing it. Bai's mother looked at Xueer's skillful movements and couldn't help but feel sorry for the child. How many times must she have done these tasks to become so proficient!
Bai Chen and his father returned to the living room. Bai's father looked at his son and asked, "Are you serious?"
"Well, she's the one for me in this life." Bai Chen looked at the busy little figure in the kitchen with soft eyes.
"Chenchen, I see that she is much younger than you! Do you understand her? It's not that dad doesn't support you, I just hope you won't be like your brother, who was impulsive and put himself in a dilemma." Father Bai reminded Bai Chen.
"Don't worry! Xue'er is not as vain as my sister-in-law. She has always lived with me. Although she has little education and no lofty ideals and ambitions, she keeps the house in order and takes good care of me. I like her very much." Bai Chen said.
"Well, that's good. Dad believes in you. I think the child is very simple and sincere, and he is a person who can live a normal life. Since you have made up your mind, don't treat him unfairly. You can't let him follow you without any status. Find a time to settle down!" Father Bai said after thinking for a while.
"Well, actually, I decided to bring her to meet you and mom because I had a plan." Bai Chen said.
"Okay, then tell me! How do you need us to cooperate? Arrange a time to meet the parents? Propose marriage in person?" asked Father Bai.
"You don't need to do that. Although Xue'er's parents are still alive, she lives almost like an orphan..." Bai Chen briefly told Father Bai about Xue'er's family affairs, and then said, "Dad, I know that outsiders think Xue'er is not worthy of me, but I hope you can accept her."
Father Bai was also shocked after hearing what Bai Chen said. No parent would not want their children to have a good marriage, and he was no exception. "Does your mother know?"
"I know. Mom likes Xue'er very much."
"Well, then I have no objection. But son, Dad has a request. You should have a child after you get married. Mom and Dad are anxious to have a grandchild." Father Bai said seriously. He didn't count on his eldest son's wife.
"Okay, deal. I guarantee that you will complete the task within one year." Bai Chen said with a smile.
The father and son chatted and laughed for a while, and Xueer came over and shouted, "Uncle, Chen, the food is ready."
"Okay, let's eat!" Father Bai stood up and said.
"Don't you have to wait for brother?" Bai Chen asked.
"No need. I told your brother this morning. He hasn't come back yet. I guess he's been involved in something again." Father Bai sighed and said.
Just as Mr. Bai finished speaking, a cheerful voice came from the door, "Ah! It's better to come at the right time than to come early. You've arrived just in time for dinner."
Xue'er looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man who looked similar to Bai Chen walking in. Behind the man was a woman with heavy makeup and exquisite dress.
Bai Chen stood up and called out, "Brother, sister-in-law."
"Well, second brother, this must be your sister-in-law! She looks so young. Why, second brother, do you want to eat young grass?" Bai Xuan said jokingly.
After hearing this, Xue'er blushed and said, "Bai Chen is not old at all."
"Oh, second brother, you found a good wife! She protects you without waiting." Bai Xuan said enviously.
"Brother, please stop teasing Xue'er. She is shy." Bai Chen said, and then he introduced Xue'er: "Come, Xue'er, this is my brother Bai Xuan, and that is my sister-in-law."
"Hello, brother! Hello, sister-in-law!" Xue'er greeted them hurriedly.
"Okay, okay. We'll be a family from now on." Bai Xuan responded with a smile. Chen Mengmeng behind him looked down on Xue'er, but as all the Bai family members were there, she didn't say anything and just responded.
"Now that everyone is here, let's eat!" said Father Bai.
Then everyone sat down. It was Xue'er's first time to eat at the same table with the elders, so she was naturally a little reserved. However, the Bai family was very enthusiastic. Bai's mother kept urging Bai Chen, saying, "Chenchen, serve more food to Xue'er. Xue'er, eat more."
"Okay, thank you, auntie!" Xue'er felt so warm in the face of everyone's enthusiasm.
The family happily ate dinner together... Suddenly Chen Mengmeng asked Xueer, "Xueer, your necklace is so beautiful! Where did you buy it? I remember Mom also has one!"
"Hey, this was given to me by my aunt." Xue'er said hesitantly.
After hearing this, Chen Mengmeng's face darkened slightly, and she half-jokingly said, "I was wondering why it looked so familiar. It turned out to be Mom's collection model. Mom, you are too partial. I asked you for it back then, but you didn't give it to me. Now you actually gave it to Xue'er."
"Ah! If my sister-in-law likes it, I'll give it to you!" Xue'er said as she stretched out her hand to take off the necklace, but was stopped by Bai's mother. This eldest daughter-in-law was deliberately looking for trouble, and she couldn't let Xue'er be bullied.
