Daddy, Come Home For Dinner!

The passenger seat was on the side next to the road.
So when the girl got out of the car, she had her back turned to Sister Wang.
The majority of her was blocked by the tall vehicle, only showing the back of her long-haired head.
No matter how familiar Sister Wang was with the neighbors, she couldn’t recognize who it was.
She thought it could be someone visiting from outside, not necessarily someone from the neighborhood.
Sister Wang didn’t think much of it and was about to walk over.
Just then, she saw the girl turn around and smile at the man.
The moment she turned, Sister Wang was dumbfounded.
Isn’t this Li Xiaoyun?
Sister Wang was so surprised that she instinctively opened her mouth wide, feeling her brain had come to a halt.
Just now...just now she saw Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li said Li Xiaoyun was still single, right?
But now, this man...
If Li Xiaoyun has such an outstanding boyfriend, would Mrs. Li not mention it?
Over the years, Mrs. Li has been asked about Li Xiaoyun’s single status repeatedly, surely she has accumulated some frustration in her heart.
If Li Xiaoyun were no longer single, and her boyfriend was that good, could Mrs. Li keep it so low-key?
If it were her, she wouldn’t be able to keep quiet.
"Xiao Yun," Sister Wang hurriedly called out.
Sister Wang had talked to Mrs. Li about matchmaking for Li Xiaoyun, but Mrs. Li hadn’t dared to tell Li Xiaoyun.
Li Xiaoyun would come back once a week, and actually she wasn’t very familiar with the neighbors.
However, sometimes when she returned, she saw Mrs. Li talking to Sister Wang downstairs.
So she had some impression of Sister Wang.
"Aunt Wang." Li Xiaoyun called out with a smile.
"Bringing your boyfriend home for a meal, huh?" Sister Wang asked with a smile, "Your mom really knows how to keep a secret. You’ve got a boyfriend, yet she hasn’t told us. The neighbors were all still planning to introduce someone to you."
Li Xiaoyun was just about to deny it, but denying it would mean more explaining later, which was quite bothersome.
This is the downside of encountering aunties.
Aunties gossip too much, especially those who are very familiar and like to get to the bottom of things.
Who knew Zhao Dingli had already gone around the car, opened the trunk, and started unloading the gifts he brought.
Seeing Li Xiaoyun was about to explain, he quickly called out first, "Aunt Wang."
This interruption immediately turned Aunt Wang’s attention to Zhao Dingli: "I haven’t seen you before, is this your first visit?"
"Yes," Zhao Dingli responded politely with a smile and already had all the things in hand.
Li Xiaoyun saw this and hurried to help.
But Zhao Dingli said, "It’s not heavy, you don’t need to carry it."
Li Xiaoyun felt embarrassed about letting him carry everything alone.
Though most were dry goods, indeed not heavy.
But there were a lot of big and small bags.
Carrying them alone was quite inconvenient.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Dingli simply avoided her and wouldn’t let her touch them, saying, "Just help me close the trunk."
Li Xiaoyun had no choice but to do so.
After closing it, she remembered Sister Wang was still there.
Li Xiaoyun wanted to explain again, but Zhao Dingli spoke first, "Aunt Wang, we’ll head home first, we’ll talk to you later."
Li Xiaoyun thought about Zhao Dingli’s seniority, although he was much younger than Aunt Wang.
Yet hearing him also call her Aunt Wang felt very strange.
"Alright, alright," Sister Wang figured she’d ask Mrs. Li about it later anyway.
"You’d better go quickly," Sister Wang said.
"Will you lead the way?" Zhao Dingli then softly asked Li Xiaoyun.
His voice was gentle and seemed afraid to startle her.
It was just too sweet.
Sister Wang secretly curled her lip inwardly.
Li Xiaoyun was capable in her work, met many people, probably met him at work.
Sister Wang sighed inwardly, so a woman still needs to be capable.
With capability, the people you interact with daily are different.
Otherwise, how would you run into one so casually?
"Okay," Li Xiaoyun had to drop it.
Bringing up the topic again now felt sudden.
"This way," Li Xiaoyun led Zhao Dingli.
Zhao Dingli was carrying big and small bags in both hands.
Since he brought them from the old residence, they were quite low-key.
The packaging was delicate, but all hidden in shopping bags, so you couldn’t see what was inside.
The bags outside were casually chosen by Aunt Lin and looked nondescript.
No way to associate them with the contents inside.
Sister Wang clicked her tongue, muttering with not a little acidity, "The Li family is truly blessed."
Sister Wang couldn’t hold back her envy, even after returning home, the look was so apparent even her husband Lao Li noticed.
"Yo, what did you see? Why such an expression?" Lao Li asked with a smile.
"Ah! I just saw Li Xiaoyun downstairs bringing her boyfriend home, probably for the first visit, bringing lots of bags with her," Sister Wang said.
"Yo, Xiao Yun has a boyfriend now? That’s good news. Now Lao Li’s family can finally rest easy," Lao Li responded with a smile.
"Why is Lao Li’s family so blessed? Her boyfriend looks very dignified, seems rich, handsome, appears older than Li Xiaoyun, quite mature. But he’s very good-looking, without the greasy middle-aged man’s vibe," Sister Wang said.
"Yo, what age would that be?" Lao Li asked.
"I can’t tell, Xiao Yun is already 27, judging by him, he’s surely older than Xiao Yun, probably in his thirties," Sister Wang said.
"In his thirties, that’s a perfect age," Lao Li thought it fitting.
"You see their family, Li Xiaoyun is competent and earns a lot, her parents are always out enjoying themselves, spending freely. I see Lao Li’s wife posting on her Moments, either traveling or having expensive meals at home. The fruits she buys, always the most costly ones,"
"Previously, I thought their family spends freely, but Li Xiaoyun is getting on in years, earning so much without a man daring to pursue her. That alone is worrisome. Though our expenses aren’t as high as theirs, we’re not bad, neither above nor below average. Most importantly, our daughter went from dating to marriage to having children seamlessly, never troubling us," Sister Wang always sought balance this way.
This is a lifelong issue, more enduring than momentary joy.
They might be enjoying themselves now, but what about when their daughter is old and alone?
As for her, there’s nothing to worry about, she can pass on at peace knowing her daughter won’t be lonely.
"Now Li Xiaoyun’s brought such an impressive boyfriend home. She’s wealthy herself, and he is too, marrying means no worries at all. Why is Lao Li’s family so blessed?"
