Chapter 1599: What is suitable for oneself is the best
Fast Chinese.
"Mm."
She agreed, and while she believed it, her heart was still pounding and very anxious.
Her heart felt like it was about to jump out of her chest; Lu Feifei was full of nerves, just like that, meeting Shi Youxuan!
"You're back?"
Shi Youxuan smiled and greeted the two of them.
"Mom, why are you here?" Litian asked.
Lu Feifei followed up by asking: "Mom, why are you here?"
"No, I meant Auntie... Ma'am, you..."
She wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into; it was too embarrassing, calling her "Mom" the moment they met?
If she were to be rebuked for this, she wouldn't have the face to see anyone.
No, wait, Lu Feifei felt she didn't have the face to see anyone right now anyway!
"Mm, you two don't just stand there, sit down."
This was Litian's dormitory, yet Shi Youxuan seemed like the host here, while the two people who were intimately familiar with this room had become the guests.
Litian told Lu Feifei not to be nervous, but in truth, he was nervous too!
The Sheng Family children, regardless of whether they were biological or not, all shared a common merit—when encountering danger or difficulties outside, they wouldn't tell their parents, fearing they would worry.
For instance, he hadn't mentioned saving people during the flood this time.
He was afraid his mother's impression of Feifei was still stuck at the initial stage and that she would obstruct the two of them being together.
His palms were sweating from nervousness, and his expression was unnatural.
Only when his mother told them to sit did he react, pulling Feifei to sit on the bed.
The room wasn't large, containing only a single bed, a small desk, and two chairs.
His mother sat on one chair, so the two of them could only sit on the bed; the three of them sat facing each other as if in an interrogation, making Lu Feifei even more nervous.
"Is the road for home visits far?"
"It's not far, it takes a little over an hour of walking to get there."
Shi Youxuan:...
Walking for over an hour, and that's called not far?
She thought this, and so she asked it out loud.
Litian said: "Around here, it's nothing but mountains; vehicles aren't as fast as a person's two legs. We are adults and walk fast, so it only takes us over an hour, but for the children going to school, it often takes more than two hours."
Lu Feifei chimed in: "These children are very sensible; everyone knows deeply that the opportunity to learn is not easy to come by, and they also know that only knowledge can change their destiny..."
Mentioning the students, her nervous mood lessened a bit, and she could chat normally.
Shi Youxuan followed the topic of the students, occasionally asking a few questions, but for the most part, she was just listening!
The appearance is a reflection of the heart.
In fact, it is very easy to distinguish what kind of person someone is from their conversation.
Through this seemingly ordinary chat, Shi Youxuan had already judged that Lu Feifei was indeed no longer that selfish, narrow-minded, love-struck girl who was a bit calculating.
She had truly changed; although such a girl's family background was not a match, she was worthy of her son, and she did not object to her being her daughter-in-law.
Shi Youxuan understood in her heart, so she changed the subject: "Have you two eaten lunch? Are you hungry?"
By the time they returned, it was already past lunchtime, and they were already hungry and ravenous.
But hearing she had arrived, they were too nervous to feel hungry!
Now that the nervous mood had passed, and they were reminded, they felt truly hungry.
Feeling the hunger, the two of them's stomachs also let out uncooperative growls!
Having finally gotten over the nervousness, this was now embarrassing again.
Shi Youxuan eased the embarrassment; she stood up and said righteously: "Let's go, you two treat me to a meal; I didn't eat anything at noon and am about to starve."
The three of them ate lamb offal noodles in town, the very same place Litian had eaten at the first time he came.
The owner was very enthusiastic, specifically giving Shi Youxuan an extra scoop of toppings and telling her that his lamb offal noodles couldn't be found anywhere else in the country.
It was delicious, but compared to Zichen, the craftsmanship was far inferior.
Shi Youxuan didn't retort to his face, but quietly said to her son: "It's not as delicious as the noodles your older brother makes."
"Of course, the noodles Big Brother makes are the best in the world!"
"When you two get married, I'll have your Big Brother take charge of the kitchen."
Litian:...
Lu Feifei: "Cough, cough!"
Shi Youxuan: "You two don't want to?"
"No, Mom, what did you just say? Could you say it again?"
"I said, when you two get married and hold the wedding banquet, let Zichen go to the kitchen... is that not quite appropriate?"
Litian was pleasantly surprised: "Mom, you don't oppose us anymore?"
"I never said I was going to oppose you, but you two should change your jobs; transferring back isn't a difficult task, you don't need to worry about it."
Litian said: "Mom, we don't intend to transfer back; it's quite good right here."
Shi Youxuan's expression turned grave as she asked: "This kind of place is too desolate; although the people are simple and honest, you want to spend your whole life in a place like this? It's better to consider it carefully."
"We have already thought it through; we are staying here. We both like it here very much."
Everyone has their own place that is suitable for them.
There is no distinction between good and bad; what is suitable is the best!
Shi Youxuan has seen the world and is a reasonable person; she only has one requirement for her daughter-in-law—good character!
As for the two of them's choices for the future and their career planning, those are their own business, and she will not interfere.
Lu Feifei became nervous again; she was worried that the mother and son would have a falling out.
After all, such a decision seems very abnormal in the eyes of normal people!
But she didn't expect that Madam Sheng would agree so easily.
"Fine, decide your own affairs yourselves, but arrange for us to meet Feifei's father in the near future to discuss your wedding."
"Huh?" Litian widened his eyes and opened his mouth wide.
"What are you 'huh'-ing about?"
Shi Youxuan said displeased: "If you don't want to marry her, why go through all this trouble? Since you have already decided to be together, can you really bypass your parents?"
Shi Youxuan also knows a little about Lu Feifei's family of origin.
This was also an important reason why she didn't think highly of Lu Feifei at first; a family of origin has a great influence on a person, and she was afraid that having grown up in such a family, Lu Feifei might not have a sound personality.
She was also worried that if she became in-laws with Lu Feifei's father, her little stepmother would stir up a lot of trouble.
Of course, these were all previous worries; as long as the girl has good character, these are all minor matters that Shi Youxuan can resolve!
Litian was speechless.
His mother makes sense; to marry someone's daughter, not tell her parents?
That is unjustifiable.
He looked at his girlfriend; Lu Feifei's forehead and palms were covered in sweat from nervousness.
"No, no need to meet, right?" she said in a tiny voice.
Thinking about the two sets of parents meeting, her mind went blank!
Her father and little stepmother are both eccentric.
Her father is henpecked and listens to his wife without any principles, and the little stepmother... just thinking about her gives Lu Feifei a splitting headache.
Shi Youxuan smiled and said: "I also know a little about your family affairs; it's fine, rest assured. Since I proposed to meet, I have a way to deal with them; from now on, we are one family."
"Your difficulties are everyone's difficulties; bring them out and we will solve them together."
"Thank you."
Lu Feifei nodded desperately, choked up and unable to speak.
Touched and excited.
