On the way, Jiang Tiao repeatedly confirm with Fu Ting Chuan whether his family really only consisted of his mother.
On the long smooth road, Fu Ting Chuan patted her head with his free hand, “Don’t worry, I already said it is only my mom. I inherited her character, don’t like people who are too noisy.”
Jiang Tiao finally calmed down.
Because of this trip to Beijing, she only prepared a silk scarf and a massage cushion as a gift. Although they are not very expensive, she still felt satisfied.
Fu Ting Chuan looked at her and lightly smile.
When the whole world exploded by their revelation, the two people in question are completing the process of their relationship.
The car is filled with sunlight spilling in.
Fu Ting Chuan’s childhood home is in the Changping District on the outskirts of Beijing. It’s not some grand mansion but some ordinary commercial house.
His mother likes peace. When her son’s career was smooth sailing and he made some money, he wanted to buy her a big house but she was unwilling, wanting to stay here instead.
The buildings are of simple limestone walls with some advertisements painted on them. It was only in October of this year that because a family on the fourth floor was getting married the walls from the first to fourth floor were painted a coat of white.
Fu Ting Chuan parked along the road carried Jiang Tiao’s gifts and bought a few bags of fruits.
He wore a hat and a mask but the fruit store owner still recognized him.
Jiang Tiao carefully picked the apples and listened to the lady boss smilingly asked, “Little Chuan, you’ve come back.”
Fu Ting Chuan took off his mask and smiled, “Yes, sister Jin.”
“Your wife?” The lady boss looked over at Jiang Tiao.
Fu Ting Chuan continued to smile, “Yes.”
“She looks lovely.”
Fu Ting Chuan bluntly acknowledged, “I think so too.
The lady boss didn’t expect him to be so boastful and laughed even more, “Your mother will be happy. After so many years, you’re not coming home alone anymore.”
“En.” Fu Ting Chuan nodded.
The lady boss curiously asked, “Where is your wife from?”
“....” Fu Ting Chuan was flabbergasted and laughed in spite of himself. Up to now, he still doesn’t know where his wife is from. He really is deeply in love, not having a care for anything else.
Jiang Tiao noticed his silence and raised her lips. She put the last apple in the bag, handed it to the lady boss, and answered for him, “I’m from Suzhou.”
Her smile was fitting.
The boss looked at her a few times and put the heavy bag on the electronic scale, “Just by looking at you one can tell you’re a Southerner. Warm and elegant, fair and tender skin” She glanced at Fu Ting Chuan and handed the bag over, “she even knows how to pick apples. Xiao Chuan, it looks like your blessing is not small.”
“Of course not.” Fu Ting Chuan’s eyes are full of smiles.
After leaving the fruit store, Jiang Tiao elbowed him and complained, “The lady boss was only being polite why are you agreeing to it?”
In the end, he is an actor of many years and good with words, “What, I was being honest. I can’t agree?”
“Humph,” Jiang Tiao gave him an indignant look but her heart was elated.
……
Fu Ting Chuan’s house number, 302.
He took off his gloves and found the key to his home in a ring of keys. After thinking about it, he didn’t insert it in the keyhole and knocked on the door.
Jiang Tiao was nervous for no reason and took a deep breath from her nose.
After a moment, the door opened.
Jiang Tiao stood on the right side and was able to clearly see the person inside.
It indeed is Fu Ting Chuan’s mother but is not like those noble and wealthy madams that Jiang Tiao imagined in her heart.
She is simply an ordinary mother and an elder among the public.
Wearing an apron, her white hair was tied up in a bun and the corners of her eyes showed traces of the years. The whole person seemed gentle and harmless.
In fact, it should be expected after seeing this residence that even though her son is successful with eyes on him everywhere, she is still willing to live in this house. It shows that she lives a simple life and doesn’t care about wealth.
Fu Ting Chuan inherited her charming pair of peach blossom eyes. The eyebrows are naturally arched and the eye sockets are deep, somewhat close to those of Europeans and Americans.
It was completely engraved on him.
She was also closely examining Jiang Tiao.
“Mom.” Fu Ting Chuan called out from the side.
Jiang Tiao came back to her sense and smiled slightly, “Auntie, hello.”
“Ai.” Fu Ting Chuan’s mother answered and opened the door wider, “Come in, it is cold outside.”
Fu Ting Chuan lightly pushed Jiang Tiao forward. Jiang Tiao hurried inside with the man following close behind as he handed the gifts to his mother.
“These are gifts from Jiang Tiao.”
“Why did you buy so much stuff.” She was slightly taller than Jiang Tiao. At this time, she is bent over to take slippers from the shoe rack.
“It’s a small kind gesture,” Jiang Tiao also bent down to help her, “Auntie, which pair. I’ll help you get it.”
“It’s fine, I already got it.” She put two pairs of slippers on the floor mat, “Change into it. You can sit down on the sofa with Tong Chuan and chat.”
The elder had been crouching for a long time so there is some difficulty getting up.
Noticing this, Jiang Tiao wordlessly took the crook of her arm and pulled her up.
“Thank you.” Mother Fu smiled brightly, “Change your shoes first.”
“Okay.” She obediently changed her shoes and put her boots by the door.
Fu Ting Chuan’s mother watched her do everything in an orderly manner and looked at her son.
He also looked up at her. His face was filled with curiosity about her attitude toward this future daughter-in-law.
Seeing her son’s eagerness, Mother Fu et out a laugh and said, “Little Jiang, place your shoes on the shoe rack. When you enter the door, you are a part of this family.”
“Yes.” Fu Ting Chuan earnestly nodded.
Then his mother turned and went to the kitchen.
