They say plans can't keep up with changes.

For dinner, Li Heng drank a little wine with his father-in-law Xiao Hai, and the time dragged on and on, not breaking up until after 8 o'clock.

Originally, Wei Shiman wanted to keep Li Heng to spend the night at home, but thinking of his sensitive identity, she extinguished the thought.

Finally, Huang Zhaoyi drove, Xiao Han sat in the passenger seat, and Li Heng sat in the back row, the three of them rushing toward Shangwan Village together.

Watching the car disappear from view, Wei Shiman couldn't help but sigh and said to Xiao Hai, "Old Xiao, do you know what kind of background this Huang Zhaoyi has?"

Xiao Hai bit on a cigarette, "I've been holed up in this small town for most of my life. If you have something to say, just say it, don't beat around the bush."

Wei Shiman pulled her husband into the house, closed the door, and lowered her voice, "Daughter told me, this Huang Zhaoyi is Li Heng's lover."

With a "bada" sound, the cigarette in Xiao Hai's mouth fell to the ground.

Wei Shiman continued, "Huang Zhaoyi's background exceeds what you and I can imagine..."

As she spoke, she repeated her daughter's words word for word.

Xiao Hai was shocked, dumbfounded, for a long, long time before he sobered up a bit, "With such a good family, why would she be willing to be a mistress for Li Heng? Not to mention she's so famous, and her personal conditions aren't worse than our daughter's."

Wei Shiman curled her lips, "I said the same thing before, maybe she's just insecure."

Xiao Hai was puzzled, "How so?"

Thus, Wei Shiman told the story of how Li Heng and Huang Zhaoyi got together, "She was rejected by Li Heng many times before, and only got into Li Heng's bed by relying on her niece to drug him. Plus, she's older; this is the root of her insecurity. Otherwise, with her conditions, it's impossible for her to be Li Heng's lover, and she wouldn't have allied with our daughter."

Xiao Hai bent down to pick up the cigarette on the ground, rubbing the filter back and forth with his fingers, pondering for a long time before speaking, "So, Hanhan is determined to marry Li Heng?"

Wei Shiman frowned, "You don't think highly of it?"

Xiao Hai sat on the sofa, "Didn't you say there's also a Yu Laoshi from the Yu family? There's also a Song Yu at Peking University, and Chen Zijin from the Chen family. Can Hanhan win against them?"

Xiao Hai was actually mainly referring to Yu Shuheng and Song Yu. He had once delivered vegetables for his daughter and accidentally saw Song Yu at Shaoshi No. 1 Middle School. At that time, he felt that the girl was too beautiful, and her temperament was like a fairy from heaven.

Wei Shiman sat next to her husband, "Regardless of whether she can win, at least right now Li Heng only calls us Dad and Mom. Regardless of the situation in the future, whether to fight or retreat, we must firmly stand behind our daughter."

Wei Shiman's meaning was very simple: her daughter is her lifeblood. Whether her daughter wants to marry Li Heng or is abandoned and heartbroken in the future, she will firmly support her daughter and be her backing.

Xiao Hai nodded and put the cigarette back into his mouth, "That's how it is."

Actually, what father is willing to see his daughter with a playboy? It's just that there's no way around it; his daughter likes him to the bone, so he can only put down his face and support her.

….

Qianzhen is 10 miles away from Shangwan Village. Driving at night was slow, and coupled with Huang Zhaoyi's unfamiliarity with mountain roads, it took a full 16 minutes to get home.

Originally, Li Heng wanted to take over, but seeing Huang Zhaoyi's serious expression, he gave up and could only keep reminding her from the back how to drive.

As soon as the car drove into Shangwan Village, they saw Li Jianguo and Tian Rune waiting at the village entrance. Seeing the glaring headlights, the couple immediately trotted over.

Xiao Han reacted the fastest. Before the car stopped, she had already rolled down the window and shouted with a smile, "Uncle, Aunt Tian."

After shouting, she also punched herself in the heart: her skin still wasn't thick enough, she couldn't call them Dad and Mom, and she didn't know how honey called them so smoothly.

Tian Rune had long regarded Xiao Han as her daughter-in-law, enthusiastically pulling her hand, "Hanhan, you're here too."

Li Jianguo stood behind his wife and also smiled at Xiao Han.

At this time, Li Heng and Huang Zhaoyi got out of the car one after another.

The couple ignored their son and instead looked foolishly at Huang Zhaoyi, very surprised that the Great Qingyi would appear here at this hour.

Huang Zhaoyi's every move carried an inherent sense of high-class, explaining, "Xiao Han and I are friends, and also neighbors. It just so happened to be on the way to send them back."

The old couple knew how awesome the Huang family was, so they didn't think much and immediately issued an invitation, "It's dark, go home and sit for a while. Have you eaten dinner?"

Huang Zhaoyi had a great sense of propriety, looking at Xiao Han and letting her answer, aiming not to steal the spotlight.

Xiao Han understood, "Aunt Tian, don't worry, we ate on the way up."

Acting as a transparent person on the side, until they were almost done chatting, Li Heng then interjected, "I say Mom, I've been standing here for so long, and you didn't even ask about me? Am I your son?"

Tian Rune waved her hand and pulled Xiao Han into the car, "I'm chatting with my daughter-in-law, none of your business, go aside."

Li Heng: "..."

Huang Zhaoyi saw this side of Tian Rune for the first time and found it very novel, also sitting back in the driver's seat.

Seeing this, Li Heng and Li Jianguo exchanged a look and also got into the car one after another.

However, this time Li Jianguo sat in the passenger seat, and Li Heng sat in the back row next to Xiao Han.

Tian Rune asked with concern, "Why did you come back so late?"

Li Heng said, "Look at how you ask that. It's not like I haven't been to Shanghai. The road is far. If it weren't for Sister Huang driving us back, we might not have had a car back today."

Tian Rune glared at him with a smile, "Didn't ask you, I'm talking to Hanhan."

Xiao Han smiled sweetly, pondering where her honey had offended her future mother-in-law.

Li Heng was speechless, thinking for a long time, but couldn't think of the reason for his mother's change of face today.

Returning to the intersection, Xiao Han and Huang Zhaoyi wanted to leave, but Tian Rune wouldn't let them, saying it was too late and the mountain roads weren't safe, stubbornly keeping the two women.

Xiao Han didn't have much psychological burden, chatting with Tian Rune, and sat on the sofa very naturally.

Huang Zhaoyi looked at Li Heng obscurely, and seeing Li Heng nod, she let go of the heart that was hanging.

Li Jianguo poured tea for them and prepared to make a late-night snack, entering the kitchen.

Li Heng didn't stop him, but went to take a shower. Half an hour later, he carried gifts to his eldest sister's house and stuffed a big red envelope to the child.

Eldest sister asked, "Brother, when did you come back?"

Li Heng said, "Just came back not long ago."

The eldest brother-in-law wasn't home at this time, doing carpentry work for others in Xiaoshajiang. Since it was dozens of miles of mountain roads, he came back about once a week.

The eldest sister originally wanted to come to the house to see, but after arriving at the door and discovering two great beauties like Xiao Han and Huang Zhaoyi, she retreated again, holding the child and slipping back to her in-laws' house. The speed was so fast, the force was so great, Li Heng couldn't hold her back even if he tried.

No way, let her be.

The eldest sister hadn't read many books and hadn't seen much of the world, most afraid of seeing beautiful city people, always feeling that it would bring shame to her maiden home and her brother, so she generally chose to escape.

Hearing the movement at the door, Tian Rune came out and asked, "Was that your eldest sister just now?"

Li Heng said, "It was. She ran away as soon as she saw Xiao Han and Huang Zhaoyi. No matter how I kept her, it was useless."

Tian Rune knew her eldest daughter's temperament and said in a low voice, "Forget it, don't worry about her. She wouldn't be comfortable if she came, better to stay home and take care of the child."

Without waiting for her son to answer, Tian Rune asked for confirmation, "What day is Yu Laoshi coming?"

Li Heng replied, "Coming to Shao Yang on July 1st, but she and I might have to stay in Shao Yang for a day or two, there's still something to do there."

Tian Rune frowned, "What matter? You don't have any industry there, it wouldn't be that high school English teacher, right?"

Li Heng asked, "Mom, you don't trust your son that much?"

Tian Rune didn't make a sound, just spat on the ground. Clearly, there was no spit, but she still wiped it with the sole of her shoe.

Li Heng: "..."

Tian Rune pursued, "Is it that high school English teacher named Wang Runwen?"

Li Heng asked back, "Why would you ask that?"

Tian Rune said, "Don't worry about it, is it her?"

Li Heng answered the question with another, "Do you think I'd be stupid enough to provoke another woman in front of Yu Laoshi? Not to mention she's my teacher."

Tian Rune said, "Isn't Shuheng your teacher too?"

Li Heng answered, "She resigned now."

Tian Rune's eyebrows furrowed even deeper, "Really resigned? When did that happen?"

Li Heng nodded, "Resigned on the Dragon Boat Festival."

Tian Rune paced back and forth a few steps, finally saying with worry, "Since she resigned, you can't refuse her, right? If she gets pregnant early, what should you do? Do you dare to leave her hanging and not marry her?"

Actually, Tian Rune didn't reject marrying Yu Shuheng into the house. But considering her son's complex emotional network, especially Xiao Han and Zijin who were already officially recognized, plus half a Mai Sui, and Song Yu whom her son wanted to marry the most, she was afraid it wasn't that simple.

Li Heng said, "I'll handle this matter well, don't worry."

Tian Rune stopped her steps, "Can you really handle it well?"

Zhou Shihe said softly, "How romantic it is to fall in love at first sight, with the beauty in one's heart never fading."

Having said that, she extended her right hand and slowly poured the fourth glass of beer into her mouth.

Mai Sui savored these words, and suddenly felt an indescribable sense of relief and pain in her heart. She also picked up her wine glass and said, "I'll drink with you."

Zhou Shihe said okay. ===== CHAPTER 676 =====

Speaking to this point, the mother and son chatted about other trivial matters for a while. When they were about to enter the house, Tian Rune still asked repeatedly with worry, "Do you really have no relationship with that Teacher Wang Runwen? I've seen her; that figure, any man would want to take a bite. Can you hold back and not touch her?"

Li Heng rolled his eyes, "I'm your precious son after all, what kind of person do you think I am?"

Tian Rune said, "According to books, to put it nicely, you're a romantic genius; to put it not so nicely, aren't you just like Chen Shimei?"

Li Heng's mouth twitched, "What's going on? Why do you have such a big opinion of me today?"

Tian Rune was silent, then sighed and said, "Thinking about coming back to help you take care of other women, your father and I feel particularly sorry for Zijin. Since coming back from the capital, we've been thinking about this all the way."

Now it was Li Heng's turn to have nothing to say. After a long time, he said, "When I have time, I'll go specifically to accompany Zijin."

Tian Rune looked at her son and entered the house.

The late-night snack was simple, just a few home-cooked dishes, most of them game. Li Jianguo greeted, "Since you've eaten, let's drink some wine."

Then Li Jianguo asked Xiao Han, "Hanhan, do you drink sweet wine or distilled spirits?"

Xiao Han said with a smile, "Uncle, sweet wine."

Li Jianguo scooped a bowl of egg-drop sweet wine for Xiao Han, then asked Huang Zhaoyi, "What about you? I remember you can drink, want a few sips of distilled spirits?"

Huang Zhaoyi generously put the bowl over, "Alright, I'll drink a little with Aunt Tian."

Li Heng also drank distilled spirits, closed the door, and played the role of a companion.

However, as they drank, Li Heng also poured half a bowl of distilled spirits for his wife. Xiao Han stared at the distilled spirits in the bowl, finally glared at her honey, but drank it anyway.

The result goes without saying; after half a bowl of distilled spirits, Xiao Han passed out drunk.

When her son carried Xiao Han to the second-floor bedroom to settle her down, Tian Rune pulled him outside and blamed him, "Why let Hanhan drink so much wine?"

Li Heng thought for a moment and said, "Tell you and Dad something."

Tian Rune's heart skipped a beat, "What matter? Still have to get Hanhan drunk?"

Li Heng didn't rush to speak, but brought his mother to the first floor, and then waited.

After waiting for a long time, Tian Rune was anxious, stood up and walked back and forth in the house, asking, "Did something big happen?"

Li Jianguo on the side was smoking, his patience was much better than his wife's.

Li Heng looked at his watch and then at the direction of the shower room, "Wait a little longer, wait for Huang Zhaoyi to come out and then talk."

Hearing this, Tian Rune stopped in place and exchanged a look with her husband. The old couple's eyes were full of doubts and inexplicable expressions.

Another four or five minutes passed, the shower room door opened, and Huang Zhaoyi, who had finished showering and washing her hair, walked out from inside.

Don't say, Huang Zhaoyi, whose light eyebrows were like autumn water, was very beautiful at this moment, bright and atmospheric, walking with her own demeanor, making Tian Rune's eyes light up.

Li Jianguo took a look and didn't look again, for fear that his wife would keep a small notebook and settle accounts later. You have to know that a Zhao Jing had nagged him for a lifetime, he was truly afraid.

Seeing the family of three in the living room, not saying a word, Huang Zhaoyi, who was wiping her hair with a dry towel, pondered for a moment, then asked, "Aunt Tian, you haven't rested yet?"

Tian Rune smiled and said, "Manzai said he has something to say, waiting for you."

Hearing this, Huang Zhaoyi's heart suddenly thumped, and she turned to Li Heng somewhat restrainedly.

Li Heng beckoned to her, then patted the stool next to him.

Tian Rune and Li Jianguo were stunned, not understanding what this move of their son was? Let Huang Zhaoyi sit next to him?

But Huang Zhaoyi's next move surprised the old couple.

Only to see Huang Zhaoyi pause, and then under the gaze of the old couple, she actually really came to Li Heng's side and sat down next to him. Although the process was a bit nervous, she performed very obediently.

Tian Rune was dumbfounded? The Huang Zhaoyi in her eyes was the famous Peking Opera performing artist, she was from the Huang family, when did she become so obedient to her son?

Li Jianguo was also dumbfounded, the cigarette butt burned his hand and he didn't react, foolishly, looking at his son for a while, looking at the Great Qingyi for a while. At this moment, his brain wasn't enough.

With this sit of Huang Zhaoyi, the huge house became dead silent.

The four of them stared at each other, not making a sound for a while.

As the atmosphere became more and more oppressive, Huang Zhaoyi's palms unconsciously sweated. She had grown up so big, and this was the first time her mood had lost control.

Just as the air in the house was about to freeze into ice, Li Heng spoke.

He said to Huang Zhaoyi, "Call Dad and Mom."

The short three words almost made Huang Zhaoyi's heart jump out of her mouth, but fortunately, she came from a big family and had experienced all kinds of occasions. Finally, she steadied her heart and called to Tian Rune in front of her, "Mom."

After calling Mom, she looked at Li Jianguo, "Dad."

Just as these two "Dad" and "Mom" fell, they heard a "thump," and someone fell to the ground.

Li Heng and Huang Zhaoyi looked over at the sound, and saw Tian Rune dizzy and stumbling to the ground, her eyes wide open, wide open, with a sense of dying without closing her eyes.

Li Heng stood up quickly and walked over to help his mother.

Huang Zhaoyi stood up and walked to the other side of her future mother-in-law, squatting down to help.

Li Jianguo was violently impacted by this "Dad," and it took a long time to sober up. He was the last one to react.

But Tian Rune didn't pay attention to her son at all, pushed her son's hand away with one hand, turned her head and asked Huang Zhaoyi, "Zhaoyi, what did you call me just now?"

Huang Zhaoyi, who was always arrogant in front of people, showed shyness for the first time, but still cleverly called, "Mom."

Tian Rune didn't answer dizzyly, just lay half-way on the ground, staring at Huang Zhaoyi's face, the expression on her face changing, changing, which could be described as extremely wonderful.

After a full stalemate of more than half a minute, Tian Rune moved her mouth and asked her husband in front of her, "Jianguo, did you hear it? Zhaoyi called me Mom just now."

Li Jianguo's feelings weren't much better than his wife's, squeezed out a smile with difficulty, and nodded.

Getting confirmation from her husband, confirming it wasn't an illusion, Tian Rune backhanded Li Heng a punch, but don't look at the momentum of this punch, it was actually very light on the body, no different from scratching an itch.

After Tian Rune finished hitting, she scolded, "Did you bully Zhaoyi?"

Li Heng's eyelids jumped, watching his mother perform hard.

It was Huang Zhaoyi who felt guilty and hurriedly stopped it, saying, "Aunt Tian... Mom, don't blame him, I took the initiative to be with him."

Hearing this, Tian Rune turned her head again and looked at Huang Zhaoyi.

Li Jianguo also looked at the Great Qingyi.

Huang Zhaoyi said, "I have admired Li Heng for a long time, and it was only by chance that we got together."

Tian Rune kicked her husband.

Li Jianguo reached out and pulled his wife up.

Tian Rune didn't care about the indecent sitting posture, sat on the chair and asked hurriedly, "Admire? When did you get in touch with him?"

Huang Zhaoyi said, "Two years ago, I had correspondence with him."

Tian Rune subconsciously said, "So early? Wasn't he still a high school student then?"

Huang Zhaoyi was embarrassed, not knowing how to answer.

Li Heng interjected, "She is my reader, she interacted and wrote to me after reading 'To Live,' at that time she didn't know I was a high school student, thought I was a young writer."

"Oh, so that's how it is."

Tian Rune suddenly realized, and then asked tightly, "So you knew each other long ago, and were deliberately acting in the capital to show me?"

Facing the questioning of her future mother-in-law, Huang Zhaoyi really wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Li Heng said, "That wasn't because I was afraid you'd worry?"

Tian Rune glared at her son fiercely, then spent one to two minutes calming her emotions. When she spoke again, her whole state recovered a lot, and she also recovered her reason from the shock.

Tian Rune reached out her right hand, pulled Huang Zhaoyi to sit beside her, and asked in the most kind tone, "Tell me, how far have you gone?"

Afraid that the Great Qingyi would be embarrassed, Li Heng grabbed the words, "Mom, your question has no level, you've already changed your name to Mom, naturally everything that should happen has happened."

Tian Rune looked at her son, looked at Li Jianguo who had a solemn face, and was silent for a while before speaking, "Zhaoyi, I've wronged you, didn't expect this bastard wouldn't even let you go.

When I came out of the theater, I was still sighing with Jianguo, you were born so beautiful, Peking Opera sang so well, don't know who will be cheap in the future? Didn't expect, in the end, you entered our Li family and became my daughter-in-law."

After speaking, Tian Rune held Huang Zhaoyi's hand, leaned forward, and asked incomparably seriously, "Really willing to follow this bastard?"

Huang Zhaoyi said "un," "Mom, I'm willing."

Tian Rune asked, "Do you know how romantic he is outside? I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it if you know."

Huang Zhaoyi nodded, acquiescing.

Laying out the worst things to talk about, seeing that Zhaoyi was sincere, Tian Rune breathed a big sigh of relief, then changed her face faster than turning a book, and smiled kindly and kindly:
