Chapter 207 Confession
As soon as the dishes were served, Tingyun started to applaud: "Your Majesty, this is amazing, these two dishes are competing against each other!"
Grandma is so proud.
Of course! The menu for this New Year’s Eve dinner was carefully prepared by her. It had to have a good meaning and a combination of meat and fish, which was a brain-burning one!
Grandma sat down with a smile and waved to the father and son: "Hurry up and sit down and eat."
Dad and Tingyun waited for grandma to sit down before they all sat down. They also waited for grandma to take a bite with her chopsticks first, and then they all picked up their chopsticks.
Tingyun took out the red wine he bought that day and poured it for all three of them. Only a little was poured into grandma's cup.
Tingyun first toasted to grandma: "Good luck to the Queen Mother, I wish her happiness, longevity and health!"
Grandma smiled and toasted to Tingyun, taking a small sip of wine.
Tingyun paid tribute to his father again: "Dad, you have worked hard!"
Dad clinked glasses with him: "You suffered a lot when you were a child!"
Tingyun smiled and shook his head:
"Dad, don't take it to heart when I was anxious that day and said angry words. In fact, in my heart, you have always been the best dad!"
When Dad heard what he said, his eyes were red with emotion. He raised his head and drained the red wine in the glass.
After putting down the cup, he lowered his head to pick up the vegetables, not wanting his mother and son to see him on the verge of tears.
He is not the best father. In the past years, he was too neglectful towards his son. But he will learn, and he will be a very good father in the future!
Tingyun finished the toast and sat down to eat.
What he just said was true.
When he was a child, his father neglected him a lot, but he didn't mean it, he just didn't realize it.
After my mother left, the burden of supporting the family fell on my father's shoulders alone. He still felt so much frustration and pain.
Under such circumstances, it is really not easy to raise him and treat him gently.
In this world, most parents are not perfect parents, and most children are not perfect children either.
But as long as there is love and we continue to learn to love in the right way, then this family will be happy.
After so many years of self-growth, Tingyun has become strong enough to face his childhood regrets calmly.
And now that he has Qingyu, all the gaps in his heart have been filled with her abundant emotions, and he no longer has any regrets in his life.
The grandparents and grandson enjoyed the carefully prepared New Year's Eve dinner, and the Spring Festival Gala was played on the TV next to them, which was very lively.
Tingyun was halfway through his meal when his cell phone rang and he picked it up to look at it.
Grandma smiled meaningfully at Dad: Look what I’m talking about!
Tingyun didn't notice the expressions of his grandma and father. He was too busy reading the news.
Qingyu sent a photo of a New Year's Eve dinner: "Let me show you my New Year's Eve dinner. What did you eat for New Year's Eve dinner? Take a photo and show it to me."
Tingyun looked up at the food that had been eaten to pieces and replied: "I'm almost finished eating, so I can't take pictures. Let me describe it in words for you."
He announced the names of the dishes and also explained the meaning of grandma's arrangement of these dishes.
Qingyu came back with an amazing emoticon: "Your grandma is so cute and talented!"
She praised his grandma for being cute?
Regardless of whether the wording is appropriate or not, it just makes me feel comfortable listening to it.
Tingyun smiled and replied: "Do you remember our agreement?"
Qingyu immediately understood what he was talking about: "Remember. But on New Year's Eve, can you really come out?"
Tingyun replied instantly: "Of course I can. But can you come out?"
Qingyu replied with a big smile: "I don't have any problem! Tell me the time and place!"
Tingyun smiled: "Just wait at home. I'll pick you up. Pay attention to your phone."
Qingyu sent an "Okay." emoticon, which was a cute rabbit nodding vigorously.
Tingyun put down his cell phone, looked up, and saw his grandma looking at him with a meaningful smile. Looking at his father again, he also had an inquiring expression.
Grandma smiled and asked: "Tingyun, are you - in love?"
Tingyun smiled slightly: "My Queen Mother is indeed very discerning! Yes."
Grandma smiled so happily: "What kind of girl is she? Is she a classmate of your school? How old are you? Where do you come from?"
Tingyun smiled: "That's the one you asked me to meet last time, the national champion."
There were many girls she wanted him to meet, but he basically gave them up and didn't go.
Has he ever seen a national champion?
Grandma thought for a while before remembering it, and pointed at him excitedly:
"Oh, I remembered! What did I say? Isn't that girl nice? Is she the school beauty?"
Tingyun nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, pretty good!"
Grandma is so proud: "I asked you to go see me, but you still refused to go see me. How are you now? Do you feel that you are lucky that you went to see me?"
Tingyun continued to nod: "Yes, you are the wisest!"
Indeed, I'm glad I went to see it.
At that time, his grandma arranged more than a dozen blind date parties for him, but he basically found one or another excuse not to go.
Unavoidable, he reluctantly went there two or three times, and finally met Qingyu, his true love.
Fate is truly wonderful.
Grandma was so happy that she didn’t even care about eating and kept asking questions.
Tingyun answered her questions while putting vegetables into her bowl.
He briefly talked about what happened after the blind date.
In his narration, he and Qingyu had a good impression of each other, and they quickly got together after sharing weal and woe.
He did not tell his grandma that Qingyu took the initiative to pursue him, nor did he mention that Qingyu had been secretly in love with him for many years.
He didn't want his family to think that Qingyu was just waiting for him.
Although in the beginning, Qingyu tried every means to get close to him, but he was still as cold as ice.
But when he fell in love with her, he just wanted to interact with her sincerely, pamper her, and treat her well.
He is lucky that she is willing to let go of her girlish reserve and pursue him like that.
He will only cherish her more because of this, and will never use it to tease her, let alone use her feelings to show off to others.
After finishing the meal chatting and laughing, his father volunteered to wash the dishes. Tingyun cleared the table with him and went to the kitchen to help wash the dishes.
Grandma is sitting on the sofa, holding a cup of red date tea, watching the Spring Festival Gala with relish, and laughing from time to time.
Dad and Tingyun, as usual in previous years, would accompany grandma to watch the party. In fact, neither of them is interested in the party, and they just accompany the elderly.
Dad also sat on the sofa.
Tingyun did not follow him: "Grandma, Dad, I'm going out."
Grandma asked angrily: "On New Year's Eve, when the family is reunited, why do you have to run out for something important?"
Tingyun smiled slyly:
"It's a very important matter. I promised your future granddaughter-in-law that I will watch the fireworks with her.
"What if she doesn't keep her word and she becomes angry and no longer regards you as your granddaughter-in-law?"
When grandma heard this, she immediately waved her hand: "Go quickly, go quickly, and try to bring her home for the New Year as soon as possible!"
"Okay!" Tingyun responded, picked up his mobile phone and flashlight, put on his coat and went out.
