Yuan Long touched her hair and told her his plan: "I will go back to the army after my injury is healed. I want to take you and Dudu to the army. I am not as ease to leave you and our son here alone."
The army ......
This remark did not surprise Yu Shanshan. in fact, she secretly thought about the army. She knew that Yuan Long could not stay here forever. He's a man of the country, and his home was in the army. One day he would return to the army and could not be with her and Dudu forever like ordinary men.
Back when he wasn't here, she and Dudu were just the same way as before. But now that he's back, Dudu finally has a father. And since he is now used to his father's existence, it's impossible for him to leave his father or go on a long time without seeing him. But it's 108000 miles from the army, and if the mother and son decides to stay here, they might not see him for months. Dudu wouldn't stand it, and she can't stand it as an adult as well.
So, in fact, she was already prepared to go with him, but she was embarrassed to ask him out and waited for him to bring up the issue regarding the army someday. She didn't expect that this day would come so soon.
She had no objection to going with him to the army, but she thought they would directly go there from here, but she didn't expect to go to imperial city. That place is the starting point of her life, bearing the ups and downs of her 20 years, but it is also the place she dare not touch in her memory. She thought she would never go back.
"Why do you want to go to imperial city? Your troops aren't there? are they?" Yu Shanshan asked.
Yuan Long explained to her, "My marriage report has been approved. Grandpa received the news that we're going to get married some time ago, and he haven't seen you yet. You can't get married without letting my family know about you and Dudu, right? I have to let pops meet you. Besides, we have to go back to the emperor to get a license. If we don't get a license, what if you won't let me drive?"
Hearing the last sentence, Yu Shanshan's face turned red and her fingers could not help pinching him hard on his waist. she said, "It's not serious!"
Yuan Long's waist was full of muscles and did not feel much pain. She pinched it and he continued with a smile: "Apart from taking you and Dudu back to show Grandpa, there's another very important thing."
"Since you are going lose weight, don't try those unreliable ways, I will take you to accept professional weight loss method to ensure that you will lose weight in a healthy way."
"What?" Yu Shanshan did not even consider pinching him. She was eager to ask: "What kind of professional weight loss method? How? Where can I reduce it?"
One couldn't blame her for being so excited, because there is absolutely nothing wrong if it's finally Yuan Long who says it. If he says that he could make her lose weight, he would definitely make her lose weight and would never deceive her.
Yuan Long smiled but said nothing, he squeezed her hand and deliberately hid the information. "I'll keep it a secret for the time being, you'll know it once you get back to the imperial capital."
Yu Shanshan hit him angrily. "What's with the suspense? You want to worry me to death!"
Yuan Long looked at her with a smile. "What do you say? Do you want to go back to Imperial City with me?"
Can Yu Shanshan say no or no? Getting a license and losing weight is a big deal for her. If she can lose weight, she has to climb over it quickly.
Finally, Yu Shanshan and Yuan Long discussed the matter here for two days, and then packed up to set off for the Imperial Capital.
Yu Shanshan immediately contacted the landlord and said she would check out and move out in two days.
After returning the house, Yu Shanshan went down with Yuan Long the next day to resign and go through the resignation procedures. She has only been in the company for more than a year. At first, many colleagues looked down on her because of her figure and liked to talk about her behind her back. Her relationship with them was not very good. Later, even if no one laughed at her, the relationship was just so-so, so she wasn't reluctant give up on this company and other colleagues.
The only thing she didn't want to give up was Wu Jing. She felt very uncomfortable when she thought that she would be so far away from her in the future and that she would not be able to eat together after work every day.
In the past few years, Wu Jing has been helping her take care of her. In her most difficult time, Wu Jing accompanied her. Without Wu Jing, she would definitely be much more miserable than she is now. Her gratitude to Wu Jing will never be forgotten.
Wu Jing knew that Yu Shanshan was leaving and was not willing to give up, but Yu Shanshan found her own happiness and she was happy for her, so after crying for a while, she patted her on the shoulder and comforted her: "Don't cry. Although we can't often be together in the future, we can often talk via video call. I can't bear to see my adopted son, I have to see him often. Otherwise, what can I do if he forgets I'm his godmother."
Yu Shanshan rolled her eyes by what she said, and the sadness of parting was better.
The procedure is even simpler over at Dudu's Kindergarten. After all, it's just a kindergarten. It doesn't matter whether a child goes or not. It's okay to drop out of school at any time.
When everything was done, Yu Shanshan was surprised to find that it was so simple to deal with it all. Here, her life is simple, interpersonal relationships are also simple. If she wants to leave without any concern, she can easily leave, no one needs to be alarmed. Even the luggage is only two suitcases.
When you think about it, her most precious possession over the years is nothing but her little fat man. There is nothing else. She's floating in this city without a home. People without a home are so pitiful.
After knowing her feelings, Yuan Long hugged her with guilt, kissed her on the forehead and comforted her: "It doesn't matter, you will have a home in the future, Dudu and I are your relatives."
Yu Shanshan paused and slowly put her arms around his waist, rubbing her face against his chest.
Ever since the two of them talked, Yu Shanshan no longer rejected his close proximity as before. He never disliked her being fat. He has been encouraging her, support hering, and said he would help her make her what she wanted to be.
He was so kind to her, she couldn't help reflecting on herself, and finally figured it out. She didn't want to keep him out of her heart because of her inferiority.She needed to change her mentality, let herself open her heart in front of him, and stop feeling inferior. She wanted to learn to be as confident and happy in front of him as before.
No longer rejecting his intimacy, is her first step to change.
Of course, Yuan Long could also feel her change. He couldnt help being happy in his heart, held her more tightly in his arms, bowed her head and kissed her on the side of the lips, and caressed her carefully and closely on her lips.
The intimate appearance of the two people made Dudu's eyes feel hot. His father hugged and kissed his mother, how could he be forgotten? So the little guy immediately put down the toy in his hand and ran over. The little fat body tried to squeeze between his parents. "And me, and me, I want to hug and kiss, too!"
After being squeezed by him, the ambiguous and sweet atmosphere between the two suddenly disappeared, and Yu Shanshan could not hold it any longer. She quickly retreated from the embrace of Yuan Long with a red face, so as not to be squeezed to death by the little fat man.
Yuan Long sighed and bent down helplessly to hold the little fat man, who spoiled the atmosphere, in his arms.
The little fat man was so happy that he put his arms around his father's neck and kissed him. The little fat leg swayed leisurely to and fro and asked, "Dad, are we going to move?"
"Yes." Yuan Long replied, "but first we have to go to the Imperial City to see Grandpa. Grandpa really wants to meet you."
"Grandpa?" Dudu thought about it, but still couldn't understand what a Grandpa was.
Yuan Long explained to him, "Grandpa Tai is Dad's grandfather. You have to call him Grandpa Tai."
"Oh~" the little guy got it, because the rocking horse in front of the supermarket, which he loved to sit on, taught him: Dad's father is Grandpa.
"Dad, is it right that Grandpa is your father's father? He is my father's father's father. "
Yuan Long was surprised by the quick thinking of the little guy. The three-year-old child was really smart to figure out the relationship so quickly. He couldn't help praising, "Dudu is right. You're really clever."
The little guy laughed at the praise, and then asked curiously, "Does Grandpa want to see me so much? Does he like me?"
"Of course, Grandpa Tai likes you and wants to see you very much." What Yuan Long did not say was that since he made the wedding report, he received the notification immediately and called to ask him what was going on. After he explained the situation to the old man, The old man growled on the phone not at all like an old man in his eighties. A 30-year-old man is now being was drenched by an old man with dog blood.
After receiving the reprimand, he told him to take Dudu and Yu Shanshan back to the imperial city immediately. He wanted to see his great grandson, but Yuan Long refused since his relationship with Yu Shanshan at that time was not yet at ease. He only said that it will just be for some time. As a result, he was scolded by the old man and didn't say anything. days. He will receive an urgent phone call from the old man every few days.
Yesterday he called the old man and said he wanted to go back to the Imperial City, and the old man was finally satisfied. Yuan Long thought that he finally won't be bombarded by the old man on the phone anymore. Yuan Long sighed helplessly and had to answer the phone.
As soon as it was connected, the old man's loud bell-like voice sounded over "Yuan Long, when are you arriving? Didn't you say you're back? Why aren't you back yet? How can you be such a man like you be dawdling about?"
Yuan Long:.......Grandpa, I just told you I'd go back yesterday.
The old man's voice was so loud that his cell phone could not shut him down. Yu Shanshan, who was packing her bags, shook with fear. This grand father in his eighties is still too much.
Dudu, who was staying in his father's arms, naturally heard the roar from the phone. He tilted his head curiously and felt that the caller was really loud and a little fierce. He could not help but ask his father quietly: "Dad, this man is so fierce. Have you offended him?"
The old man, who was still roaring over there, heard this tender little milk sound from the phone, coupled with the sound of this father, and immediately knew that this was his little great-great-grandson. He became excited at once and stopped growling. his voice softened instantly, "Is that my little great-grandson talking?" he asked with eagerness. "Give him the phone Yuan Long, I'll talk to my little great-grandson."
Yuan Long had to ask Dudu, "It's Grandpa Tai, Grandpa Tai wants to talk to you. Do you want to answer the phone?"
Dudu liked his great grandfather very much and nodded immediately, "Yes, I'll talk to my great grandfather."
Yuan Long put the mobile phone in Dudu's ear. Dudu hurriedly took the mobile phone in his little fat hand and "fed" it seriously.
When you make a phone call, you have to say "hello" first, he knows.
This adorable little milky voice, the old man's heart was changed in one word. The voice is so soft that it has never been heard by him before in my life. "Is that my little great-grandson? It's me your great grandfather."
"Grandpa~" Dudu called politely, and then introduced himself, "Grandpa, I'm Dudu."
"Ah ah ah! Dudu, yes, you're Dudu." He was so happy that he could not find the north. He wished he could hold the little guy in his arms directly through the phone.
Although Dudu is small, he judged that what his father said was right after saying a few words to Grandpa. Grandpa really liked him.
Dudu, who has always been liked only by his mother and godmother, now knows another elder who likes him. He can't help but ask shyly and awkwardly, "Grandpa, do you like me so much?"
Although Dudu couldn't see, Grandpa nodded repeatedly over there and his eyes narrowed with laughter. "Yes, yes, grandpa likes Dudu very much. he likes Dudu best."
Dudu listened and his little fat legs were shaking more and more, and he said happily "Grandpa, then I like you, too. My Dad said he would take me to see you, and you wait for me to come to see you."
"Good good, grandpa is waiting for you to come as well." The old man has been anxious to see Dudu right away, so he let Dudu hurriedly give the phone back to Yuan Long.
When Yuan Long answered the phone once more, the old man's voice became loud again and growled at Yuan Long, "When on earth are you going to bring my granddaughter and Dudu back? Are you trying to kill me? "
Yuan Long put away his cell phone a little bit and waited for the old man's roars to end before he said, "Grandpa, we will leave tonight and tomorrow you will see Dudu. Don't worry old man, have a good sleep tonight." He was afraid that the old man would be too excited and will stay up all night.
Hearing that he would be able to see his great-grandson tomorrow, the old man finally stopped growling and said with satisfaction, "Inform me as soon as you get here. Don't go anywhere else, just come directly to the old house."
Yuan Long hung up the phone and joked to Shanshan, "If we don't go, the old man will probably come to us by helicopter."
Yu Shanshan also heard the old man growling on the phone. She couldn't help but feel ashamed and didn't dare to delay any more. She hurriedly said, "Let's go, hurry up or the old man's voice will be broken."
So that night, Yuan Long drove with his mother and son on the road. the whole journey took a fast speed. In the middle of the night, they took a rest in the rest area for a while and then continued on the road. Finally, they arrived at imperial city at 8 o'clock in the morning.
The old man had instructed them to go directly to the old house. Yuan Long dared not delay any longer and drove the car directly to the old house of the Yuan family.
Dudu slept all night so he's in good spirits. He was very excited to see the new scenery. He twittered and asked, "Dad, are we going to Grandpa's house?"
"Yes, we will be here soon. It will also be Dudu's home in the future. Don't be afraid once we arrive." Yuan Long was afraid that Dudu would not adapt to a strange place, so he specially instructed the old man not to invite anyone else, so that mother and son would not feel uncomfortable seeing so many people at once.
Dudu puffed up his little chest and said proudly, "Dad, I'm not afraid. Grandpa likes me!"
Yuan Long took a look at the little guy, but he didn't worry much about him. After all, Dudu is a cheerful and generous child, who is not afraid of being born. He's is generally not afraid to go to strange places. In fact, he's more worried about Yu Shanshan.
When he looked at Yu Shanshan in the rearview mirror, he saw that her lips were closed and she didn't play with her cell phone. She clenched her hands and looked out of the window.
Yuan Long knew she's feeling uneasy.
The Yuan family's old house was halfway up the mountain. It took a few minutes to drive up the mountain road. Instead of driving directly up, Yuan Long stopped at the foot of the mountain, gave Dudu a bottle of milk for him to drink, and then pulled Yu Shanshan out of the car. Holding her and gently stroking her hair, he asked "Are you nervous? Don't worry, I'm here. "
Yu Shanshan wanted to say that she was not nervous, but she was actually very nervous. The closer she got to the Yuan family's old house, the more nervous she became. She was sweating behind her back. Originally, meeting the parents for the first time is a stressful thing to experience. Even when she was a fairy, she had to be nervous. What's more, now she's not a fairy, she's a big fat person.
She was really afraid that the old man wouldn't like her appearance, felt that she was not worthy of Yuan Long, and then may disagree with her to get a license with him. She really doesn't want to be beaten by like legendary lovebirds anymore.
"I-I'm afraid the old man might not like me." Yu Shanshan still told the truth and gently bumped her forehead against his chest.
Yuan Long rubbed her head and comforted, "Baby, you have to believe me. If Grandpa doesn't like you or even accept you, why would I bring you and Dudu to see him?"
"Then.....Will the old man think I'm fat and don't think I'm good enough for you? "
Yuan Long pinched her fleshy face and said with a smile: "Nonsense, you're so lucky. People say that a prosperous life is depends on whether the wife is fat or not. Once Grandpa sees you, I'm sure he will like you very much, because it would mean that his grandson will be very prosperous in the future."
Yu Shanshan laughed at his words, and though she knew he was comforting her, she was relieved and less nervous.
Forget it, don't be nervous. Anyway, the ugly wife always has to see her in-laws anyway. Even if she fails, her fat son can still be a lot higher than the passing line. Not to boast, but very few old people can resist the charm of her little fat man. For the sake of the little fat man, this old man shouldn't dislike her too much, after all, there has been a saying that the "the mother is dependent on the child" since ancient times.
Having done a good job of psychological construction in his heart, Yu Shanshan turned back to get into the car, and a fiercely hugged the little fat man who was drinking milk with his little feet raised and rubbed his chest in a flattering manner. "Pangpang, Mom depends on you next! Don't forget, Gou Fu Gui!" (勿相忘 gǒu fù guì, literally Don't forget your friends when you become rich)
Dudu blinked innocently and didn't understand what his mother was talking about.
The author has something to say:
Yu Shanshan: Pangpang, do not forget Gou Fu Gui!
Dudu: Then you should be good, be gentle to me, buy me delicious food, and don't hit me.
Yu Shanshan took off a shoe: You give me your ass!

有母凭子贵的说法 Because Chinese patriarchy is very serious in the ancient times, a mother must have a son if she wants to have a place in the family. It can be said that sons are the lifeblood of mothers. Those mothers who do not have sons are often neglected. When a son is successful, his mother is also honored alongside him. Ex. A son becomes the emperor and his mother becomes the queen mother
