Chapter 8 The hairy son-in-law comes to the door
Lin Chaoyang and Tao Yushu were carrying their luggage, and when they came out of Yanjing Station, they saw the car sent by Yanjing University to pick up the new students. Lin Chaoyang planned to take a ride, but Tao Yushu was not embarrassed. She was now a senior sister.
The two got on the bus. The body of the domestic articulated bus was very long. When turning, the centrifugal force shook the bus uncomfortable.
When they arrived at Yanjing University Station, the two got off the bus carrying large and small bags. Tao Yushu walked along the road and taught Lin Chaoyang about the plants and trees of Yanjing University.
She is a student of Yanyuan University and is very familiar with this place. The two of them entered the campus through the west gate of Yanyuan University. After walking through the lotus pond in midsummer, they saw the iconic Chinese watch inside the west gate.
All the way to the north, the trees are lush in midsummer, and the Yanda buildings are hidden in the green. The scenery is unique, but it cannot be compared with the grandeur of later generations.
Langrun Garden is adjacent to Wanquan River in the north, and opposite is Qichun Garden, one of the three gardens of Yuanming Dynasty. In the first year of Xianfeng year, it became the villa of Prince Gong, the sixth son of Emperor Daoguang, and was first named Langrun Garden.
After Yi Xin's death in 1898, the place was given by the last emperor Puyi to Beile Zaitao, the brother of Emperor Guangxu. Soon after the founding of Yanda, Zaitao rented Langrun Garden to Yanda as a teacher's residence.
After the lease expired in 1952, Yanda bought Langrun Garden. From 1957 to 1960, six faculty residences and a guest house were built on the east and north banks of the campus. Since then, Langrun Garden has become the "nine campus" of Yanda. One of the "garden".
After bypassing the circular Langrun Lake, Lin Chaoyang and Tao Yushu came to a four-story building on the east bank of the lake. Lin Chaoyang knew that this was one of the family buildings built in the 1950s that Tao Yushu had mentioned. The location of Tao Yu calligrapher.
Before walking into the unit door, Tao Yushu asked Lin Chaoyang to put down his luggage and carefully arranged his clothes.
Lin Chaoyang's clothes were newly changed when he got off the train. He was wearing a navy blue Mao suit with a white T-shirt underneath and a pair of black cloth shoes.
She looked at each other for a long time, and was quite satisfied with Lin Chaoyang's dress, but she felt a little displeased when she looked at the pair of cloth shoes under his feet.
She originally wanted to buy a pair of leather shoes for Lin Chaoyang, but unfortunately, the big purchase before returning to Northeast China had already exhausted the pocket money given by her father and the subsidy money she usually saved.
"I'll buy you a pair of leather shoes in winter." Tao Yushu muttered.
Lin Chaoyang smiled and said: "I wear both leather shoes and cloth shoes."
Tao Yushu stopped paying attention to the topic of shoes and asked, "The ugly son-in-law is about to meet his mother-in-law, are you nervous?"
Lin Chaoyang looked into her clear, watery eyes, and the tension in them almost overflowed, but he pretended to be relaxed and still asked himself if he was nervous.
He said with a relaxed expression: "It's not like you don't understand my shamelessness. I think it's you who should be nervous, right?"
Giving him a blank look, Tao Yushu picked up his luggage and said, "Let's go then!"
Climbing up the stairs, you can hear young voices singing loudly, and the smell of food is floating in the corridor.
Tao Yushu's house was on the third floor. She knocked on the door, and someone opened the door after a while.
A girlish version of Tao Yushu appeared in front of the door, youthful and beautiful.
"sister!"
"This is Yu Mo, and this is Lin Chaoyang. Yu Mo, my name is brother-in-law." Tao Yushu introduced.
On the way, Tao Yushu had already introduced the situation at her home.
The girl in front of her is her youngest sister Tao Yumo, who is 17 years old and is in her second year of high school.
Tao Yumo looked at the man in front of him. He was wearing crisp clothes, but unfortunately he was plain in appearance and not worthy of his beautiful sister.
"Hello."
Her voice didn't rise and fall, which would normally be no problem, but Lin Chaoyang's new son-in-law came to the door and Tao Yushu asked her to call her brother-in-law, but she said "Hello", obviously she had a lot of opinions about Lin Chaoyang.
Before Tao Yushu could speak, Lin Chaoyang didn't seem to notice Tao Yumo's unfriendliness and said with a smile on his face: "Hello, Yumo!"
Tao Yushu glared at his sister vaguely, and then another lesbian in plain clothes came out of the room.
Just now I saw that Tao Yumo is the teenage version of Tao Yushu, and this lesbian is like the older version of Tao Yushu. You don't have to think twice to know that she must be the mother-in-law.
The smile on Lin Chaoyang's face grew wider. He was about to say hello, but his mother-in-law only nodded, turned around and returned to the kitchen.
It seems that my mother-in-law has a bigger opinion of me than my sister-in-law!
According to Tao Yushu, all the letters she wrote to herself in the past six months were "intercepted" by her mother-in-law. This shows how much she despises her rural son-in-law, so before entering the house, Lin Chaoyang had already had sufficient understanding.
Mental preparation.
He was not angry, but Tao Yushu's face was as cold as ice.
After entering the house and putting down her things, she asked in a cold tone: "Where's Dad?"
"Class!" Tao Yumo replied to her, then turned around and entered the room.
The cold reception from her mother and sister made Tao Yushu feel bitter. She looked at Lin Chaoyang and said, "Don't mind..."
"fine."
Lin Chaoyang's expression was as usual and his expression was calm and calm, making Tao Yushu unable to tell for a moment whether he was pretending to be angry or not.
She couldn't help but think of the psychological construction she had done for him on the train. It seemed to have some effect, but Tao Yushu felt that what was more important was Lin Chaoyang's good mentality.
The two got off the car at around nine o'clock and went to their home in Runyuan, Yandalang. It was already past eleven o'clock, and Tao's mother, Du Ruohui, stayed in the kitchen while cooking lunch.
"Let's see how long she can hide!"
Tao Yushu angrily packed his luggage with Lin Chaoyang. They came back this time with six parcels, large and small, three of which were meeting gifts prepared by Lin Erchun and his wife for their in-laws.
While they were cleaning up, there was movement at the door. It was Tao Yushu's sister-in-law Zhao Li who had returned with her child.
Zhao Li is not tall, has a round face and short hair, and she has a friendly look.
When saying hello, Zhao Li's attitude was much better than that of Tao's mother Du Ruohui and sister Tao Yumo.
Tao's father and Tao's mother have three children, one boy and two girls. Zhao Li's husband Tao Yucheng is the eldest son of the family.
He was admitted to the Chinese Opera in 1965 and was one of the last batch of college students. A few years later, he was recruited locally and then by chance, he married Zhao Li, who came from a cadre family.
Tao's father and Tao's mother were ordinary last year, so the two families worked together to transfer Tao Yucheng's job back to Yanjing. He is now a teacher in the Department of Chinese Opera and Literature.
Zhao Li was not so lucky. In order to follow her husband, she had to give up her job in her hometown. Now she is a full-time housewife, taking care of her two children every day.
Tao Yucheng and Zhao Li gave birth to two sons. The eldest son is Tao Xiwen, who is five years old and is currently in kindergarten. The second son is in Zhao Li's arms. His name is Tao Xiwu. He is only 23 months old and is at the age when Yaya is learning to speak.
During lunch, Tao's mother had a cold face, Tao Yumo's eyes were rolling around, always glancing at Lin Chaoyang. Sister-in-law Zhao Li was observing the situation, and the expression on her face was not as bright as before. The atmosphere at the dinner table was very subtle.
"Chaoyang, eat more!"
Tao Yushu showed her affection to Lin Chaoyang without any scruples. He could vaguely see that the muscles in Tao's mother Du Ruohui's brow were beating.
This girl!
