Chapter 222 The Secret of Father and Son (Please Subscribe)

The old couple hadn't taken a few steps, just turned a corner, and saw a dark figure in the distance.

The footsteps stopped immediately, and they looked around at the crowd with their feet owed.

"Is it our Tong'er?"

"Old Bai, did you see that!"

Bai Mu's eyes are not very good, she can't see clearly, she kept patting her wife's arm anxiously.

"Don't shoot, I'm watching."

Lao Bai looked at it, and soon after he saw it clearly, he opened his mouth: "I see, I see, he is our son!"

"Tong'er has a girl in her arms, surrounded by everyone!"

The words were loud and full of pride.

Once the old couple were sure, their hearts immediately felt at ease, and they didn't go any further, they just waited and watched in place.

They looked at the son in the distance who was held by the villagers like stars, and Lao Bai and Lao Fang felt relieved, proud and joyful in their hearts.
Can you not be proud, can you not be happy?

When they were young, when Gongtong was still running around the streets in crotch pants, they hoped that their son would grow up, be successful, marry a beautiful wife, and make themselves proud.

But my good fellow, I never dreamed that the little kid back then was far beyond the couple's expectations.

Their son, it's not so simple to just make them proud, this has become the pride of the entire Fengqiao Town, the entire Shaoxing, the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces, and the entire China!
Soon, the crowds on both sides finally met, just a few steps away.

Bai's father and mother's eyes first looked closely at Gongtong, and then they looked at the girl beside him.

Ban Xia obviously noticed the couple, and when she was sized up, her pretty face flushed, her body tensed slightly and she was a little nervous.

"Mom and Dad!"

Bai Gongtong smiled and shouted.

He took Banxia and strode up to the two of them, patted Banxia and said: "This is the daughter-in-law I found for your second elder!"

"Her surname is Xu, and her name is Banxia. How about it, is it a good name?"

Ban Xia's face was red, and after being slapped by Gongtong, her body tightened and she immediately bowed deeply to Lao Bai and Lao Fang, and the words "Mom and Dad" blurted out:

"dad!"

"mom!"

Hearing this shout and looking at such a beautiful girl, Lao Bai and Lao Fang immediately lost their considerations, and responded with smiles on their faces.

"Thank you for sending Tong'er here, let's go."

Laobai whispered a few words to Banxia and Gongtong, then walked up to the folks who looked at their family enviously, waved to everyone, and shouted.

"When my son comes back tonight, my shop will be closed earlier."

Lao Bai still did not forget to ask: "If you need oil, salt, sauce, vinegar or other miscellaneous things, just go into the house, and I will bring them to you inside the house!"

After finishing speaking, he took his son and daughter-in-law and walked towards the house arrogantly.

In the streets and alleys, dozens of people looked at their backs and kept shaking their heads with emotion, and they scattered away after a long time.

It seems that I can faintly hear three or two words of envy:

"Lao Bai's life is really good, how can they give birth to such a capable cub."

"I have a successful career, and I can find a better wife than everyone else. All the good things are left to Lao Bai's family."

"Girl Gongtong, I watched him grow up since he was a child. I knew from the beginning that this kid must be successful when he grows up. Have you seen it? Is he successful!"

When he got to the house, he put everything away and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

Baimu went into the kitchen again, and when she came out, she was holding a fruit plate in her hand.

On the sofa, Gongtong was about to take it with a smile on her face, but she didn't expect that Mother Bai just turned her wrist and handed it to Banxia.

"Thank you, Mom."

Ban Xia watched this scene with a grin, and quickly thanked him after taking the fruit plate.

"mom!"

Gongtong muttered and shouted, then poked her head out of the fruit plate in Pinellia's hand to pinch an apple petal, showed it to the old Fang, and put it in her mouth proudly.

Bai's father and Bai's mother looked at each other and laughed together.

"What do you want to eat tonight, I'll go buy some food."

"You didn't say anything in advance when you came back, and you didn't prepare any food at home."

As soon as Lao Fang sat down, he was about to stand up again, and asked Gongtong and Pinellia.

"Mom, I want to eat the dumplings you made!"

Gongtong was still chewing the apple in her mouth, when she heard the question, she hurriedly responded.

"What stuffing?"

"Pork and cabbage!"

"Basically everything is available. I'll go buy some more pork. The three of you will chat first."

Lao Fang carried the vegetable basket, hummed a little song and went out the door.

Lao Bai pinched the remote control to turn on the TV in the living room, then turned down the volume a lot, first glanced at Ban Xia cheerfully, and then looked at his son:
"Why did you come back suddenly without saying hello in advance?"

"How many days are you going to stay at home?"

Gongtong leaned lazily on the sofa, stretched her waist, let out a long and comfortable breath, and said, "I'm going to come back when I'm homesick."

Father Bai was obviously satisfied with this answer, and nodded with a smile.

"Maybe I can stay at home for two or three days."

Gongtong paused, then said again.

'Two or three days', Father Bai thought to himself, although he thought it was a bit short, he still expressed his understanding.

With his son's current status, it is not easy to spare two or three days.

"That's right, Dad."

Gong Tong thought about it slightly, then suddenly opened her mouth and said: "Me and Pinellia."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly became hesitant. Seeing this, Lao Bai's heart tightened, his brows furrowed, and his eyes fell on Davidia Davidson's body, waiting for the next sentence.

"Ban Xia and I may not come back during Chinese New Year."

Davidia Davidson took a long breath and said slowly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Father Bai's face turned serious, and the joy in his heart because of his son's return seemed to be poured with cold water.

"There is a World Expo in Barcelona in May, and I am the chief designer of the China Pavilion."

Gongtong lowered her head and explained: "The construction period is relatively tight, and I have to supervise the work over there."

The atmosphere in the living room became silent. After a long time, Lao Bai's face finally became calm: "I understand."

He patted Gongtong's shoulder vigorously, and a smile appeared on his face again: "My son is doing something to win glory for the country, and it's a good thing!"

"Your mother and I are fine at home, don't worry."

"Don't forget to call back a few more times."

Lao Bai showed great support and understanding. He looked at Pinellia, and the more satisfied he was with the girl: "It's hard for Pinellia. A girl runs around with you every day, and can't go home after the Chinese New Year."

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, please don't blame us, Tong'er."

Ban Xia quickly shook her head, saying that her parents understood very well.

The conversation between father and son returned to normal, chatting all over the day.

When Lao Fang was about to come back, Father Bai suddenly and earnestly whispered to his son: "Don't tell your mother about not going home for the New Year."

"We'll talk about it before we leave."

"Your mother is so happy right now, we can't take away her joy!"

Gongtong was stunned when she heard the words, and quickly nodded in affirmation to express her understanding.

There was also a smile in Banxia's big eyes, she knew that this was the romance between the old couple.

Soon, Baimu came back with the vegetable basket, and Banxia took the initiative to join the kitchen to help.

Roll out dough, pick and wash vegetables, make stuffing, make dumplings
Pinellia's handicraft was unexpectedly familiar, and he was busy with Lao Fang.

In the living room, the father and son sat comfortably on the sofa, quietly waiting for dinner for the two daughters-in-law, one old and one young, in the kitchen.
