My Life with Narration

Chapter 731: Chapter 722: Visiting (Part 1)

When it comes to visiting, Shen Yi felt a bit uneasy. They’ve known each other for so long, and Su Qing still doesn’t know Shen Yi’s exact age. It shows that she is indeed a little sensitive about this, especially in front of him.

But while she could hide it from Su Qing, could she hide it from her future mother-in-law? During the first visit, there would definitely be a lot of small talk. By then, what the situation is at home and how old she really is couldn’t be kept secret, which is why she was so worried.

Although Su Qing’s reassurance didn’t help much, at least it eased Shen Yi’s tense nerves.

Soon, another three days passed, and it was already April. In Jiang City, it was very warm in April. The temperature was just right, not too cold or too hot, which is the most comfortable time of the year.

In another month, it would be summer, and by then, girls would start wearing skirts on the streets.

During these three days, Su Qing met twice with Wang Xing and Ding Qiang because the materials for the first phase of the project had been prepared, giving them a short break.

But at the speed of domestic infrastructure development, it wouldn’t be long before the materials would be needed again, and there was no fear of being out of work this year.

Even taking advantage of the weekend break, Wang Xing took Lin Miaomiao to Xining to visit the store he co-founded with Da Qiang.

Regardless of anything else, Wang Xing made quite a show in front of his girlfriend, which made Ding Qiang deeply envious.

To know, even though Ding Qiang and Xiaogou knew that he and Wang Xing had girlfriends, they hadn’t seen them in person, and naturally didn’t get enough of the envy. This time, Wang Xing stuffed a lot of envy into Ding Qiang, making him genuinely envious.

At the police station, Lin Chengcai had called Su Qing twice, mainly to help interrogate prisoners, distinguish truth from lies, and extract useful clues. There wasn’t much else for him to get involved in, as it would be a big deal if such a big case depended on him, and the police station would lose its face. Because of this, Su Qing was happy to be idle.

He even went to the hospital twice to see Du Qiang, and indeed, this guy was enjoying himself, living it up.

His chats with the little nurse were going well, but the only regret was that their progress was too slow, with a long road to go in the future.

Regarding this issue, Su Qing could only say that he was powerless. "Bro, I’m barely managing myself right now and have no time to care about others’ affairs."

"Brother, brother! Come out and help!"

The next day, Shen Yi didn’t go to work at the company because she would visit his family tomorrow, so she went out shopping today.

Su Qing wanted to help, but Shen Yi didn’t allow him, saying that it was her intention and she couldn’t let Su Qing get involved. Of course, that was just his excuse. In reality, she wanted to discuss with the landlady.

After all, when it comes to visiting in-laws, the landlady has experience and knows what to buy. Secondly, she wanted to take this opportunity to ask Wen Nanqing for advice, such as how to be polite when visiting and how to make the mother-in-law happy. She couldn’t talk to Su Qing about this stuff.

So today, after Wen Nanqing had sent the little girl to school, Shen Yi went to them, and the two women went out together to buy gifts for the visit.

"Whoa, buying so much? Are you stocking up?"

Su Qing heard the noise and quickly opened the door, only to see Shen Yi and the landlady busy in the corridor, surrounded by large bags of gifts, with more in the elevator.

"Little Su, Xiao Yi is so nervous about going to your house tomorrow that I’m getting tired today helping her. You’ll have to treat me to a meal to reward me. Otherwise, I’ll pick on you!" The landlady said while moving things out of the elevator.

"Sure, how could I miss treating Sister Wen to a meal? When I go to Xiao Yi’s house, you’ll have to give me some advice!" Su Qing’s eyes rolled as he spoke.

"That’ll depend on your performance. I’ll let you know, I’m quite familiar with Uncle Shen and Aunt Sun. I’ll say good things for you, and it will definitely work!" The landlady said with a laugh, covering her mouth.

Listening to the increasingly outrageous conversation between the two, Shen Yi was so embarrassed her face turned red, and she gave him a shove, saying, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and help!"

Su Qing had no choice but to start moving things, and soon, the living room was filled with bags.

"So much! Didn’t you say you could just grab some stuff? A gift is just a gesture. Going empty-handed doesn’t look good, but the real gift is you. Why tire yourself out?" Su Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled.

He’s too aware of his mother’s personality; gifts are fleeting, the main course is Shen Yi. Why bother with all these unnecessary things? But he couldn’t say this because Shen Yi wouldn’t listen.

"Exactly, I told her, but she wouldn’t listen. She kept saying you can never go wrong with too many gifts. Dress up pretty tomorrow, that’ll mean more than anything!" The landlady teased while drinking water on the sofa.

For this, Shen Yi couldn’t help but roll her eyes at the two of them. They really weren’t afraid of things getting blown out of proportion. She seemed calm now, but internally she was very anxious.

"You’re not the ones going to visit. Stop making cheap remarks!"

Hearing this, the landlady chuckled and said, "What, and you want me to visit his family for you? Are you sure? I don’t mind, anyway!"

Even Su Qing couldn’t out-talk this outspoken widow, let alone Shen Yi.

"Go on, as if!"

"See, now you’re getting nervous again. Helping out today was no reward at all. Little Su, you can’t be as ungrateful as Xiao Yi!" The landlady laughed, full of teasing. Her voluptuous body and mature aura made one automatically impressed.

Su Qing: ...

For this, he ran straight to the kitchen to stay clear of the "battlefield." Shen Yi, on the other hand, discussed the details for tomorrow with Wen Nanqing until the afternoon when the little girl needed to be picked up from school, and then the landlady left.

Meanwhile, at Jiangming District, Zhou Hui was also frantically stocking up at home, mainly on food, and cleaning up.

Although their place was in an old neighborhood and the house was quite old, without even an elevator, it had to be cleaned to make a good impression; it’s a matter of respect.

Just then, old Su came back from work, walking in and asking:

"Did you buy everything back, mom?"

"Don’t worry, I bought everything on your list, not missing a single item. Did you get tomorrow’s leave settled?"

"I’ve already talked to the manager and got it sorted. Don’t worry, I’ll help you clean up and also tidy up Xiaohu’s room."

"Isn’t he going to stay with our son?"

"Come on, it’s his first time at our house; how could he be that bold? Just prepare the room for now!"

"Alright, I’ll do it right away!"

Clearly, the level of importance given to things on this side was no less than on Shen Yi’s side, if not more so. Mainly because of Zhou Hui, who’s been wanting to have grandchildren for a long time and couldn’t be more proactive.

The next day, early morning, the two got up and started preparing. Su Qing carried the bags to the car, while Shen Yi changed in the dressing room.

"Are you ready?"

"Almost, just wait a bit more!"

"It’s been an hour already."

"Oh, almost there."

Finally, after an hour, Shen Yi came out dressed not too luxuriously, in a white jacket and shirt, with a black skirt and sneakers.

Her previously slightly curly hair was now neatly hanging down her back, and she had carefully put on light makeup, appearing like a well-behaved girl. Needless to say, this outfit was like magic for meeting elders and was one of those legendary "mom-approved" outfits.

To be fair, dressed like this, you’d believe her if she said she’s a senior in college.

At this moment, Su Qing was wide-eyed, with an incredulous look on his face.

"What’s wrong? Does it not look good?"

"Good... it looks good!"

"If it looks good, why didn’t you say anything? Is it really good-looking?"

Su Qing nodded repeatedly, indeed it looked good. This had nothing to do with survival instinct since Shen Yi usually never went out in this style.

"Sister Qing said dressing like this would please the elders, but I didn’t know... I..."

"It’s really good; you should try this more often!"

[Mom-approved outfit, the rebellious mom has no resistance, young man, now’s your time to shine]

Su Qing: ???
