Chapter 355 Is it convenient? Take you out for a walk

The water in the pot boiled. Xu Ma put the dumplings into the pot and stirred them with a colander. When the plump white dumplings floated up, she covered the pot.

"Zhang Min, what do you think of my two children, Xiao Yun and Xiao Su?"

Zhang Min nodded immediately: "Okay! Of course, I know your Xiaoyun, she is sensible and lively, beautiful and capable. If my boy gets married, I will make her my daughter-in-law!

And Su Yi, he's a nice guy, has a good job, is warm and easy-going, and his appearance is naturally good, needless to say. He and your Xu Yun are simply a perfect match made in heaven!
But I don’t know if you care about age.”

After the water boiled, Xu's mother added some cold water while saying, "I've discussed this with Old Xu. My Xiao Yun looks to be in her twenties, but she's actually quite mature in her ways. Xiao Su is probably in her thirties, but you can't tell. As long as they're both steady, a ten-year age difference is acceptable."

Zhang Min clapped her hands, "That's great. If you need anything, I can help you get in touch. Su Yi doesn't have parents anymore, but he has a younger sister who is a counselor. She married into a wealthy family, so she can be considered a family member."

The dumplings were cooked, and their whisper was interrupted by Mr. Xu who came to the door and urged them to eat.

"Are you done? You women have endless things to talk about when you get together!"

Mother Xu handed a plate of dumplings to Father Xu.

"Our conversation doesn't interfere with our business. Take it out and eat it. I'll make you some sauce."

After Xu's father walked away with the dumplings, Xu's mother said, "I'll ask my Xiaoyun first, and you can try to find out what Xiaosu is thinking. If they don't click, then we've wasted our time and made things awkward for the neighbors."

Zhang Min: "What you said makes sense!"

It drizzled all night and didn't stop until five o'clock in the morning.

Xu Yun didn't sleep well that night and just listened to the sound of rain hitting the window.

She didn't have to go to the studio today, so she started watering the orchid pots on the balcony as soon as she woke up.

When Mr. Xu came back from outside, he saw his daughter carefully watering the flowers with nutrient solution.

I'm not bragging, but today's young people are polluted by the bright lights and debauchery. How many of them can be patient enough to do something to enjoy themselves, such as growing flowers?

Therefore, since my daughter is a treasure, I have to be cautious when looking for a boyfriend for her.

Before going to bed last night, her husband told her what she had said to Zhang Min, and Dad Xu thought it would be better to be more cautious.

Mr. Xu was preoccupied with his own affairs and paid no attention to what was happening on the balcony.

At this time, Xu Yun was tending to the flowers and plants while his eyes drifted towards the black jeep off-road vehicle parked in a temporary parking space not far from the unit entrance.

Yesterday she was sitting in that car, being picked up and dropped off by Su Yi to and from get off work, and she felt a little dreamy.

From childhood to adulthood, there has been no shortage of suitors around her, but Xu Yun always knows what she wants. When she was in school, she focused on her studies and could turn a deaf ear to everything else in order to get into her ideal university. After working, her goal was to gain a foothold and earn more money, and to demonstrate her self-worth, and she never focused on personal feelings.

However, her mood had changed in recent days. This was caused by her injury and moving to a new home, and by meeting another person.

His thoughts inadvertently wandered away, and when he pulled them back, Xu Yun almost dropped the bottle in his hand.

At some point, a man was already standing at the front of the jeep, dressed in casual sportswear. He must have just returned from a run outside. He put his hands in his pockets, leaned his back casually against the front of the car, and looked up at the building.

Xu Yun could conclude that the person downstairs must be looking at him.

After being surprised, Xu Yun waved to the people downstairs.

Su Yi raised his arm and gestured for her to go downstairs. Xu Yun realized it belatedly and tapped her nose. Su Yi nodded and waved at her again.

Xu Yun put down the kettle and went to the bedroom and quickly changed into more casual clothes.

"Hey, you're going out. You haven't had breakfast yet?"

Xu Yun tucked his hair inside his ears to hide the unnatural look on his face.

"I have something to do. I'll have some breakfast outside."

"Oh, then you should wear something thicker. It's terribly cold outside after it rained!" Mrs. Xu always exaggerates when it comes to the weather.

"Oh, got it!" Xu Yunren had already reached the entrance, quickly put on his coat and a pair of sneakers, then opened the door and walked out. Downstairs, Su Yi thought he would have to wait for a while, so he lit a cigarette. He took a puff when he saw the glass door at the entrance of the unit open, and a girl in a light beige mid-length coat had already walked out.

So fast?
Su Yi curled the corners of his mouth, then put out the half-smoked cigarette in his hand into the cigarette box in the trash can.

"Officer Su, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Xu Yun couldn't figure out what was going on when she was called down so early in the morning.

Su Yi tilted his head towards the passenger seat of the car: "Is it convenient? I'll take you out for a walk."

Xu Yun pinched his left leg subconsciously.

"I can't climb mountains or stand for long periods of time."

Su Yi glanced at Xu Yun's left leg and nodded: "Is it okay to sit? If not, just lie down..."

"No problem, you can sit down!"

Maybe it was because he spoke too quickly, Xu Yun almost bit his tongue, and the final pronunciation was inflected.

Su Yi was amused, then walked to the passenger seat and opened the door.

Xu Yun was still hesitating when he heard Su Yi say, "Uncle is on the balcony."

"Ah?" Xu Yun looked up and saw that her father was collecting the clothes that were hung out to dry yesterday.

The next second, without Su Yi's persuasion, Xu Yun raised his leg and got into the car.

But she forgot that her leg injury had not healed yet, and was dragged by Su Yi.

"Thank you!" Xu Yun felt like he could fry an egg on his face.

Then, Su Yi walked around the front of the car and got to the driver's seat.

"where are we going?"

The jeep left the community and headed directly towards the city center.

"49 Square." Su Yi replied, "Let's go have breakfast first."

The two found a traditional noodle shop and each ordered a bowl of steaming beef noodles.

"Your family has pretty good customs. Eating a bowl of noodles in the morning makes you feel good all day long."

Xu Yun looked up and saw that the man was eating politely.

"That was the habit of the previous generation. Nowadays, young people go to bed late and get up late. They are under great work pressure. They don't have time to eat noodle soup early in the morning. It wastes time and easily makes them full."

Su Yi smiled faintly and asked the boss for a spoonful of chili oil.

"Are you one of these people?"

Xu Yun nodded: "I used to like eating like this at home, and later I followed the crowd when I went to school and work. But now that my parents are here, I guess it won't be long before they change my ways."

Su Yi added half a spoonful of chili pepper to the noodle soup and asked Xu Yun if he wanted it. Xu Yun refused, saying that his mouth was inflamed these past two days.

"So the children who have their parents around are the happiest."

Xu Yun was about to agree, but then she remembered that the person in front of her had both parents passed away, and it would be inappropriate for her to show off at this time.

"Hey! There are times when I get annoyed. My mom is very controlling. She always interferes with everything I do. She always thinks she is right and always wants the children to follow the path she points out. But she is just an ordinary wage earner. If I am like her, won't I be left behind?"

Su Yi's gaze stayed on the girl's face for a moment.

"Today is my niece's 100th day. I went to see her. My sister lived alone in Beijing a few years ago. She was helpless and I couldn't take good care of her because of my work."
