Chapter 174 How is the man's condition?
After Ye Lan hung up the phone, she booked tickets for her parents directly on her mobile phone. The high-speed train tomorrow morning will arrive in City B at ten o'clock in the evening.
"Why not fly? Aren't planes faster?"
Lu Shiyao followed Ye Lan's messy hair on his head, and turned his head to look at her.
"Our family is in a small town in City H, and the place is small. We have to transfer trains to the high-speed rail station, and several transfers to the airport. I'm afraid that the two of them will get confused, so it's more convenient to take the high-speed rail."
"A small town in the south? Is it the kind with old houses, bridges and water, and dead vines and old trees?"
He went to very few cities in Huaguo, and his impression of small towns was this kind of picture of people with small bridges and flowing water.
As soon as Ye Lan sent the booking information to Father Ye, she couldn't help being a little funny when she heard Lu Shiyao's question with a slightly literary atmosphere, and nodded: "Yes, that's the kind."
The town is quiet and simple, but it is also closed. Most of the old people in the town are old-fashioned, and the patriarchal concept is somewhat deep-rooted.
Just like her grandma, after giving birth to her aunt, she also disliked her in various ways, and it is common to beat and scold her from time to time.
Later, after giving birth to her father, she was very fond of her son, but her attitude towards her aunt remained the same, and she even asked her to let her younger brother do everything and be a demon.
She suffered patriarchal treatment since she was a child, which made my aunt resent the family and her father, but fortunately, her father was honest and honest, and did not complain to the adults when the aunt bullied him secretly. My sister called short and cheerful.
Over time, the eldest aunt loved and hated her father, and after marrying early, she seldom returned to her natal home.
But her father often called to care about his elder sister. Even though his elder sister was indifferent, he always said that there was no hatred between the two siblings for a lifetime, and he owed his elder sister all the time.
The relationship between the two families has been maintained like this until after her grandmother passed away two years ago, the aunt gradually started to walk with her family.
Thinking of the small town, Ye Lan couldn't help recalling these old events, feeling a little sad for a while.
"After you give birth, I will accompany you back to see the place where you were born."
Lu Shiyao imagined holding hands with her, walking on the stone bridge together in the misty rain, the softness in his eyes almost overflowed his eyes.
"it is good."
When he said this, Ye Lan also felt a surge of excitement.
Although the experience of the original family in the small town where she grew up was not pleasant, the scenes and objects there are her fond childhood memories.

At the same time, after receiving Ye Lan's ticket booking information, Ye's father and Ye's mother sat in the store and looked at each other. Thinking of meeting Xiaolan's parents-in-law soon, they couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive.
Ever since she had a quarrel with Chen Ningyuan's mistress and her mother at the resort last time, Mother Ye's impression of rich people seems to have been fixed on domineering and domineering.
Thinking that Grandma Xiaolan was only 40 years old, she subconsciously glanced at her clothes. She was wearing an old, dusty cotton jacket, with cotton wool exposed on her arms, a dirty apron hanging on her chest, and a pair of black paint. Lacquered old-fashioned cotton shoes on the feet.
She frowned subconsciously. Although she was only wearing this outfit in the store, the clothes she usually wore didn't seem to be much better except that they weren't rotten.
The only good ones were bought by Xiaolan, and she was reluctant to wear them at ordinary times, and only wore them during the Chinese New Year or when she was away with relatives.
But now she is going to meet her in-laws, she can't embarrass her daughter no matter what.
"Lao Ye, let's go, go home and change clothes, go to the shopping mall and tidy up."
Father Ye has always listened to his wife. Hearing this, he knew what she was thinking, and he didn't object.
The two packed up the shop, pasted a note saying "the shop will be closed for a week" at the door, and hurried home.
As soon as she got home and changed into clean clothes, Mother Ye put on her bank card and rode a small electric car with Father Ye to the only shopping mall in the town.
When they arrived at the mall, the two went straight to the clothing section and asked the shopping guide to pick out some youthful and western clothes for them.
In order to save face for her daughter, Mother Ye didn't feel pain anymore looking at those clothes that cost hundreds of dollars a piece, and bought two outfits for herself and Lao Ye from head to toe.
When he walked out of the shopping mall, Father Ye already had five or six large bags in his hands.
All the way home, I happened to meet a neighbor who lived across the door on the corridor.
"Xiaofen, what are you and Lao Ye doing? Buying so many things."
Neighbor Aunt Liu stretched her neck to take a few glances at the bag in Father Ye's hand.
"Oh, it's nothing. I went to buy two sets of clothes. I'm going to City B tomorrow to visit my Xiaolan."
"Oh, by the way, Aunt Liu, I need to trouble your Dapeng to take me and Lao Ye to the high-speed rail station tomorrow morning!"
Mother Ye smiled and said to Aunt Liu, and at the same time gently pushed Father Ye, signaling him to open the door and enter the house first.
"All right, all right, I'll tell him when I get back to the house." Saying that, Aunt Liu approached Mother Ye suddenly, and asked curiously, "Are you going to Lan girl's place to celebrate the New Year?"
"Well, I just went to stay for a few days, and I will be back soon."
Mother Ye pursed her lips and smiled.
"Lady Lan has also been divorced for a while, do you still plan to look for it again? If you want to find it, you have to hurry up. Once this woman is over [-], it will be difficult to find someone. She is divorced, and it will be even more difficult. No, I'll introduce one to her? This man's condition is not bad, but he's a bit older. "
Mother Ye's face darkened.
This Aunt Liu is also born with a warm heart and good intentions, but she just speaks too straightforwardly and easily offends others.
Therefore, I often do good things with my heart, but I don't get a thank you from others.
Thinking about it this way, I didn't bother to break up with her, and said directly: "Thank you for your kindness, but my Xiaolan already has a partner, and we are going this time to meet the other's parents."
"Oh, that's really congratulations! I haven't heard you tell Lao Ye about such a good thing. How is the man's condition?"
Aunt Liu grabbed Mother Ye's arm, tending to have a long talk.
Mother Ye chuckled twice: "It's pretty good, she's a good-looking person, and her family is not bad."
As she said that, she pulled Aunt Liu's hand and said anxiously, "Sister-in-law, I won't talk to you for now. I have to go home and pack my things. We'll talk when I come back."
"Eh~~"
Aunt Liu looked at Mother Ye's back and called out twice. Seeing her entering the room without looking back, she stood there and murmured, "I haven't finished yet."

As night fell, the Lu family's old house was brightly lit on the mountainside.
Ye Lan was held by Lu Shiyao's shoulders, and the moment she walked slowly into the living room, she saw that the living room was already full of people.
The two elders of the Lu family were not there, except for Lu An'an and his wife, they were elders she had never met.
"Sir, miss, Master Yao and Miss Ye are here."
As the butler's voice fell, the chattering and laughing voices in the living room stopped abruptly, and everyone's eyes shifted to the two people who came in from the door.
Lu Anan waved to the two, her beautiful eyes were full of smiles: "Come here quickly, meet uncle and aunt."
