chasing the dark

Chapter 247 Seeing the Parents

Duan Baili would not return to Mingyang in two days, and taking advantage of this time, Ye Zhanzhou asked Jiang Yu to take him back to his hometown.

He carried it on his arm, and was reluctant to let the little girl drive so far back and forth, so he simply booked two high-speed rail tickets.

On the day of departure, looking at the large suitcase he was pushing in his hand, Jiang Yu couldn't help wondering what was in it.

It's normal to bring gifts when visiting the house for the first time, but the two of them are inseparable almost every day. When did you buy these things?

"It's been ready a long time ago, just waiting for your order." Ye Zhanzhou took off her backpack, put it on the suitcase, and pushed it with his uninjured hand.

He didn't want to say it, and Jiang Yu didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, everything will be revealed when he gets home.

Jiang's old house, Grandpa Jiang and his second uncle and aunt who are on winter vacation are all at home.

After receiving Jiang Yu's call in advance, the couple prepared a table of meals early.

Although Grandpa Jiang is old, his memory and eyesight are still very good. As soon as Jiang Yu finished his introduction, he recognized Ye Zhanzhou as the young policeman back then.

"Xiaoyu only said on the phone that he would bring a friend back, but he didn't expect it to be Police Officer Ye." The old man laughed loudly, "Maybe it's fate, after going around for a while, the two of you are actually together."

Back then, Jiang Chengping and his wife could only leave because they had to arrange the school courses. They arrived in Mingyang early the next morning, but they didn't see Ye Zhanzhou.After listening to Grandpa Jiang's explanation, he understood what was going on.

Liu Yujuan looked at the tall young man curiously, and asked, "How old is Officer Ye?"

"It's not good to ask this kind of question right from the start. Officer Ye, don't mind!" Jiang Chengping said so, but his eyes were full of inquiry.

"It's okay, Second Uncle. I'm only seven years older than Xiaoyu." Ye Zhanzhou went to do as the Romans did, and directly changed his address to Jiang Yu, "Grandpa, Second Uncle and Aunt, you can just call me Zhanzhou."

The corners of Jiang Yu's lips twitched unconsciously, and she didn't care about the age difference between the two. What does it mean to be "only" seven years older?

Before Liu Yujuan could express his opinion, Grandpa Jiang said, "I must be hungry when I come back from such a long distance, Xiaoyu, let's cook for your aunt."

Jiang Yu knew that his grandfather had something to ask, and wanted to distract himself, so he obediently followed his second aunt to the kitchen.

Closing the door, Liu Yujuan couldn't wait to ask a series of questions, such as how many people are there in his family, where is his hometown, how did you two get along, how well he treats you, what do his parents do...

He asked so much that Jiang Yu didn't know which one to answer first, so he had to choose what he knew.

She never asked about Ye Zhanzhou's parents' work and family conditions, so naturally she couldn't answer them.

"Little fish," Liu Yujuan said while mixing vegetables, "Your parents are gone, and your second uncle and I have to take care of this important marriage. Don't think that your second aunt is long-winded."

"What is Second Aunt talking about? How could I dislike it?" Jiang Yu had a smile on his face, but his heart was pounding.

At that time, the second uncle and the second aunt wanted to take her back to Dongshan County to take care of her by her side.It was Grandpa who thought that Mingyang's educational resources were better and didn't let her come back.

During that time, Jiang Chengping and his wife had to go to work and take care of their son, so they really couldn't do both.Rao is like this, as long as I have time, I will go to visit the grandparents and grandchildren.

It can be said that the second uncle and the second aunt treated her like her own daughter.

If they refused to accept Ye Zhanzhou, Jiang Yu would feel very sad.

Liu Yujuan put down the chopsticks in her hand, looked at the nervous little girl, and raised her hand to pin the broken hair on her forehead behind her ears: "Xiaoyu, Auntie believes in your eyes. But there is one thing I have to tell you, No matter when, our daughter can't be wronged, even if he treats you a little bit badly, we will come back, and the family will support you. "

Jiang Yu's eyes suddenly became hot, and his voice was choked up: "Second Aunt..."

Before she could say anything, she heard her second uncle Jiang Chengping shouting outside: "Little fish, come here!"

Liu Yujuan patted her on the arm: "Okay, your second uncle told you to call, hurry up."

Entering the living room, Jiang Yu first took a sneak peek at Ye Zhanzhou, seeing him give him a reassuring look, then walked over and sat beside his grandfather.

Maybe it's because of the primacy effect. In Grandpa Jiang's eyes, Ye Zhanzhou, who had put away his ruffian aura, was still the down-to-earth little policeman back then. Mandarin, cliché.

Apart from his slightly older age, Jiang Chengping and his wife had a good impression of him.

All in all, Jiang's elders did not object to Jiang Yu's association with him.

Before eating, Ye Zhanzhou took out the gift he brought.Mr. Jiang is a pair of agate chess, Jiang Chengping is two writing brushes, and Liu Yujuan is a cashmere scarf.In addition, there are things like cigarettes, alcohol, and tea.Not too many, but very delicate.

After giving way, the elders happily accepted the gift, and told them not to bring anything with them when they come back next time.

Ye Zhanzhou agreed, saying that it was the first time to come to the door, and these were brought here by his parents.

When the family was seated, Liu Yujuan used the topic just now to ask what his parents did and whether they had retired.

"My dad is a special police officer, and my mom just retired and used to work in a hospital."

Ye Zhanzhou replied that he wanted to pour wine for Grandpa Jiang and Jiang Chengping, but Jiang Yu took the bottle and filled the glasses of Grandpa and Uncle Jiang.

"You pour it for Zhanzhou too!" Jiang Chengping reminded when she saw that she was about to put down the wine.

Jiang Yu poured Ye Zhanzhou a glass of juice: "He doesn't drink."

"It doesn't matter if you don't drink, and keep a clear head at all times." Grandpa Jiang nodded, "Come, try your second aunt's craftsmanship."

Although it's a pity that I can't have a drink with the old man, but being taken care of by the little girl shows that she cares about herself, and Ye Zhanzhou thinks it is very useful.

There was nothing to do in Dongshan Town because it was too cold to climb the mountain or catch the sea. Jiang Yu took Ye Zhanzhou around the main street in the center of the town, and went home to talk with Grandpa Jiang.

Stayed at home for one night, and the next afternoon, the two took the high-speed train back to Mingyang.

Before leaving, the box Ye Zhanzhou brought was full of Dongshan specialties, and Liu Yujuan specially asked him not to forget to bring two bags of sea cucumbers back to Pingcheng during the Chinese New Year.

After getting off the high-speed train and getting into the black off-road vehicle at the stop, Ye Zhanzhou let out a long breath.

Jiang Yu looked at him sideways: "What's wrong?"

Ye Zhanzhou put his forehead on her shoulder: "The past two days have been too tense, and now I can finally relax."

Jiang Yu thought it was funny: "Hey, Tangtang Ye's deputy team also gets nervous sometimes?"

"This is the first time I've seen my parents. Can I not be nervous!" Ye Zhanzhou rubbed her shoulder and said, "Grandpa and second uncle and second aunt have passed the test, should you go home with me?"

"No!" Jiang Yu categorically refused.

Ye Zhanzhou immediately sat up straight seriously: "Why?"

Jiang Yu frowned: "Because I'm nervous!"

Knowing that she was teasing him, Ye Zhanzhou's frown relaxed.
