When Ye Ling returned home, his parents had just gotten off work and were cooking.
The fragrance wafted out from the kitchen. The fragrance of stir-fried meat mixed with the fragrance of vegetables, tempting one's appetite.
Wang Yan happened to hear Zhen Ran's voice and called out,"Ranran, you're here? Let's eat before we leave."
"No, my parents are at home. I'll just eat at home."”
Wang Yan chased after him with a spatula and said,"Alright, then come to Auntie's house tomorrow. I'll prepare some snacks for you.”
" Mom," Ye Ling said sourly," you're only giving it to Xiaoran. I don't have a share?"”
Wang Yan snorted and said to Ye Ling in disdain,""If you're half as worry-free as Xiao Ran, I'll make you anything you want to eat.”
"Fine, you really are my biological mother."
Ye Ling shook his head helplessly.
Wang Yan asked about Zhen Ran's monthly exam and took some fruits before letting her go home.
" Mom," Ye Ling said," doesn't Xiaoran live next door to us? You seem to be surprised every time you see her."”
Wang Yan said," I just like this daughter. Why are you still jealous of Little Ran when you're such an adult?"”
"I didn't say that," Ye Ling said with a smile.”
Wang Yan sighed and said slowly,"Speaking of which, Xiaoran can't be my daughter. She can be my daughter-in-law."”
Ye Ling was stunned. He did not expect this at all.
Although he grew up with Zhen Ran, he had always treated Zhen Ran as his biological sister.
Ye Ling was about to say something when Wang Yan continued,""But Old Zhen's family definitely won't like you.”
"Not to mention Ranran."
Ye Ling laughed in anger. Although he knew that his mother was joking, he still said half-truthfully,""Mom, your son isn't that bad. Why don't you like him?”
Wang Yan waved her hand." I gave birth to you. How can I not know you?"”
"You're like a monkey. Tell me, which girl would like you?”
"Your father and I are worried that you will be single in the future.”
After saying that, she took the spatula and mumbled as she went back to the kitchen to cook.
Ye Ling was amused. If his parents knew that he was dating the school belle, he wondered how they would react.
His parents would definitely be satisfied with Luo Xiayun as their daughter-in-law.
Not only was she good-looking, but she also had a well-behaved personality. She was simply the best candidate in the hearts of the elders.
"Why are you standing there smiling like a fool? Go wash your hands and prepare to eat!"
Wang Yan's voice came from the kitchen. Ye Ling said lazily,""Got it."
The sound of keys turning could be heard from the door. Ye Xiong said as soon as he entered,""It smells so good. Did you make shredded pork with garlic sauce today?”
Wang Yan was setting up a plate in the kitchen. There was stir-fried meat on the plate. The color was alluring and the fragrance assailed the nose.
She rebuked,"You two are the same. You only think about food all day."”
Ye Xiong seemed to have just noticed Ye Ling and said awkwardly,""Ah, our son is back."
Ye Ling nodded.
"Well, you're back so early today. Isn't there evening self-study in school?”
" Oh," Ye Ling said." It's the monthly exam today. School ends early."”
" Yes, yes, yes." Ye Xiong finally understood." Dad, I remember now. That's what happened."”
Wang Yan shot a reproachful glance at Ye Xiong and said,""You don't usually care about your son at all.”
Ye Xiong scratched his head awkwardly." I'm busy. I don't have time."”
"Is this an excuse?" Wang Yan asked. It's because he's busy that our son is so distant from us.”
Ye Xiong looked at Ye Ling guiltily, like a child who had done something wrong.
It had only been half a month since Ye Ling's rebirth, and this period of time was the time when he had the most conflict with his family in his previous life.
At the most serious moment, the father and son had already reached the point where their eyes were red with hatred.
Although he had reconciled with his father as soon as he was reborn, it took time for the knot in his heart to be untied.
Although Ye Xiong wanted to spend more time with Ye Ling, the atmosphere was still a little awkward when the two of them were together.
Ye Ling had completely changed his mind. He just wanted the three of them to get along well.
However, Ye Xiong still treated him as a rebellious teenager.
" Cough, cough," Ye Ling said." It's okay. It's all in the past."”
"Dad, come wash your hands and eat."
He took the initiative to set up the bowls and chopsticks for Ye Xiong, then went to help Wang Yan bring the dishes to the dining table.
Ye Xiong rubbed his hands and said,"Alright, alright."”
The family of three sat at the same table again. This was a common sight in the eyes of Wang Yan and Ye Xiong, but it had been a long time for Ye Ling.
His parents looked younger than he remembered them to be, but they had already grown some gray hair.
Especially Ye Xiong, who had been working overtime in the factory for a long time. He looked much older than he actually was.
He was in his forties, and half of his hair was already white.
His hands were also covered in calluses, and he looked like he had experienced many vicissitudes of life.
Ye Ling had never observed his parents carefully before. He was always impatient with them and sometimes did not even want to talk much.
It was only after he was reborn that he began to be willing to get along with them peacefully.
It was only now that Ye Ling realized that his parents were already showing signs of aging.
He couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat, and his eyes turned red.
"Aiya, child, what's wrong with you today?" Wang Yan asked in surprise.”
"Did you not do well in the exam? It didn't matter. He just had to continue working hard next time.”
Ye Xiong was also worried." That's right, son. A man doesn't cry easily. If there's anything, tell your parents. It's not a big deal."”
Ye Ling wiped his eyes and smiled. His voice was a little hoarse.
"It's fine. I just wanted to say…Dad, Mom, you've worked too hard.”
Wang Yan and Ye Xiong were stunned. They were both touched and shocked.
Ye Xiong did not come back to his senses for a long time. He looked at Ye Ling with a complicated gaze.
"Okay, okay, Mom knows you're sensible…" Wang Yan choked.
Ye Ling held Wang Yan's hand. Her hands had become rough after years of hard work, and there were some cracks on the surface.
He still remembered that when he saw Wang Yan on the hospital bed in the hospital, she was so thin that she almost did not look human. The chemotherapy and pain tortured her until she was emaciated.
The back of his hand was covered with large and small needle marks, as well as bruises that could not be removed.
"Mom, you must take good care of your body in the future…" he said emotionally.
Wang Yan did not know why Ye Ling would suddenly bring this up. Although she was a little surprised, she was still touched.
She patted Ye Ling's head and said gently,""Alright, Mom understands."
Ye Xiong laughed." You brat, you finally know how to care about your mother. It's not easy."”
He patted Ye Ling's back and said gratefully,""You've finally grown up and become sensible.”
" Dad," Ye Ling said," you have to take care of your health too. Drink less. Drinking is the worst for your stomach."”
After Wang Yan's death, Ye Xiong was unable to recover from the setback, and he drowned his sorrows in alcohol.
Because he had been drinking too much for a long time, he was in a hurry and could not even be rescued.
Ye Xiong was stunned." Alright," he said straightforwardly," I won't drink since my son told me not to!"”
"You'd better be telling the truth. I've told you to drink less in the past, but you never listened to me." Wang Yan rebuked.”
Ye Xiong chuckled,"Aiya, it's not easy for a son to show concern for us."?”
He looked at Ye Ling with relief." Fine. If you tell me not to drink, I won't drink anymore."”
