FYN Chapter 550 Of course!
Chapter 550 Of course!
Night gradually enveloped the capital.
Yu Huan lay comfortably on her great-aunt's sofa for the entire afternoon, barely moving an inch.
Playing on my phone, eating snacks, listening to the elders chat about all sorts of things, and occasionally being called on by name, I would smile and chime in with a few words.
When relatives wanted to take photos together, he readily cooperated, acting as a "photo prop," displaying a completely easygoing demeanor.
Around 5:30, more and more elders whom Yu Huan had never met before arrived.
However, the old man knew everyone's situation like the back of his hand, and his casual recollections of past experiences made everyone laugh.
Before we knew it, it was lunchtime, and my uncle enthusiastically started making arrangements, suggesting we go to a nearby Hunan restaurant.
The group began to tidy up and prepare to leave.
Compared to the afternoon, the dinner party in the evening was truly a grand affair, with everyone gathered together.
After all, each of these three elderly people in Yanjing has a large family behind them.
Those relatives who were too busy with work to come at noon, or who had other gatherings planned outside, all rushed over at this moment.
Besides the second uncle, who everyone claimed had difficulty walking, even the eldest uncle, whom the old man said loved to show off, appeared with his wife. Fortunately, the great-aunt's house was a detached house with spacious rooms, so even with more than thirty people coming, it didn't feel too crowded.
Instead of rushing to squeeze into the elevator to go downstairs, Yu Huan chose to wait for the second elevator with the younger generation.
He stood in front of the door, watching with great interest the boys and girls laughing and playing.
He caught sight of Binzi standing silently by the wall, and suddenly turned around and walked towards him.
"Cousin Huanhuan, I was wrong at noon. I shouldn't have said those things. Please don't take it to heart." Binzi lowered his voice, his face full of hesitation.
Upon seeing this, Yu Huan was slightly taken aback.
He thought to himself, "No wonder this kid has been so quiet all afternoon, not as lively as when we first met."
He probably figured out the situation later and realized that his older cousin was far more influential than he had imagined, and was actually a well-known figure...
Seeing Binzi's awkward expression, he smiled gently and reached out to pat Binzi's shoulder.
"It's okay, I had forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it, it was just a small thing."
"Yes!" Binzi nodded vigorously, as if he had received a great pardon, and his voice suddenly became louder, "Thank you, cousin!"
"Sigh, stop talking about this."
Yu Huan noticed the elevator doors reopening and then smiled as she stepped out.
I wouldn't bother arguing with this kid. He's not that immature. We live in completely different parts of the country and hardly ever see each other.
After a lively dinner, the grandfather and grandson, at the warm invitation of their great-aunt and uncle, returned to the place after much trouble.
At this moment, only my great-aunt's family was present, and the atmosphere was much quieter than before.
Perhaps all the most mischievous boys have gone home, leaving only two little girls and a baby still nursing in swaddling clothes.
At least, Yu Huan felt that her ears weren't suffering as much anymore.
"Huanhuan, you must let me know when you get married!" Auntie leaned back slightly on the solid wood sofa, her face beaming with a kind and gentle smile.
The old man was sitting by the window, smoking with his cousin.
He had previously revealed that the couple was at the stage of discussing marriage and might hold their wedding at the end of the year. Hearing this, he smiled and replied, "Of course I have to let you know. How could I forget you on such an important occasion?"
The cigarette dangling from the old man's lips twitched as he spoke.
My uncle flicked the ash from his cigarette into the ashtray and said, “Marriage is a major life event. Nowadays, transportation is very convenient. It only takes a few hours by high-speed rail. We should all join in the fun and share in the joy.”
Yu Huan quickly smiled and nodded, "Uncle, don't worry, I'll definitely send you the invitation as soon as possible."
Auntie bent down slightly, picked up the cup on the coffee table, and took a small sip.
She said with a smile, "What era are we living in? There's no need for such trouble. Just make a phone call."
Just then, Chun Yatou grabbed Aunt Li's daughter's wrist and ran over with light steps, speaking in a crisp voice.
"Cousin Huanhuan, can the three of us take a group photo? Oh, and Xiaofei wants to take a photo with you alone so she can show it off to her friends later."
Yu Huan turned her head and saw Xiao Fei playfully pinch Chun Yatou's arm. She immediately smiled and replied without hesitation, "Of course!"
……
The grandfather and grandson stayed at their great-aunt's house until nine o'clock in the evening.
When Yu Huan said it was time to take his leave, the two elderly people still looked radiant and full of energy.
Auntie thought that Yu Huan's trip to Yanjing was mainly for business, and that she would bring the old man along for a couple of days.
She stood in front of the elevator door, repeatedly offering her concerned advice:
"Huanhuan, work is important, but you also need to take care of your health. Young people these days always like to stay up late. Don't take your health for granted just because you're young. I didn't treat you well this time either. Next time you come to Yanjing, stay longer and don't rush around."
“That’s right, that’s right. Don’t be in such a hurry to leave next time you come,” Aunt Li chimed in with a smile.
She and Chun Yatou were also preparing to go home.
"The schedule for this trip to Yanjing was indeed too tight." Yu Huan smiled and turned to her great-aunt, saying, "You should also take care of your health. Now that you're retired and enjoying your retirement, you'll have to spend more time in Xingcheng when I hold my wedding."
"Okay!" My great-aunt nodded happily.
Just then, seeing the elevator doors slowly slide open, the uncle once again urged the old man to stay, saying, "Son-in-law, why don't you stay at our house? We've already prepared a room for you."
The old man smiled broadly, waved his hand, and said, "I appreciate the thought, but the luggage is with You Rong's cousin. It's really inconvenient for it to stay. It won't take more than twenty minutes to get there..."
The group bid each other farewell briefly.
The old man declined his cousin's offer to take them downstairs, and the group walked along the internal roads of the residential area.
It was already late, and a chilly wind swept across everyone's faces.
The streetlights cast a soft, dim yellow glow, lengthening and shortening their shadows with each step they took.
Chun Yatou followed closely beside Yu Huan, her round face beaming with a bright smile.
She tilted her head to the side, her gaze falling on Yu Huan's sharply defined profile, and asked in a clear voice, "Cousin Huanhuan, can I come to your wedding? I've never been to Changsha before! It would be great if I could watch 'Happy Camp' on Hunan TV!"
Yu Huan smiled and nodded, replying, "Of course you can, you'll probably be on winter break then."
Chun Yatou probably didn't understand that her older cousin meant she could go to the recording of the show.
She turned her head to her mother and said, "Mom, it's a deal then! I'll be going to Huanhuan's wedding!" (End of Chapter)
