242: Both sets of parents are about to meet!

Before the driver left, the two of them also exchanged contact information, planning to call him to pick them up when they returned after the New Year.

The driver was naturally all smiles about this.

After all, this was easy money.

"Baoqiang, why did you bring back so many things?" Father Wang saw several boxes, his face full of astonishment.

"These were all bought by Xin Xin. She said it's her first time here, so she wanted to bring some gifts for you guys," Wang Baoqiang explained with a smile.

Father Wang didn't say anything more after hearing that.

After all, this was a gesture of goodwill from his future daughter-in-law.

They were very satisfied with Li Xin.

At least, they liked her at first sight.

Plus, Wang Baoqiang wasn't young anymore. If he didn't get married soon, they would be too old.

They still wanted to see Wang Baoqiang get married and have children.

Now that Wang Baoqiang was so successful, their only concern was his marriage.

Fortunately, Wang Baoqiang was quite capable and had managed to get a girlfriend all of a sudden.

Then, Father Wang picked up a box and walked into the house.

Seeing this, Wang Baoqiang also picked up a box and followed behind Father Wang.

The two of them carried the boxes into the house.

Mother Wang, who was chatting with Li Xin, saw the large boxes in the hands of Father Wang and Wang Baoqiang, her face full of shock.

"What are these?" Mother Wang asked curiously.

At this point, Li Xin spoke up to explain, "Mom, these are Yanjing specialties we bought for you, as well as some supplements and stuff."

By now, she could naturally call them Mom and Dad.

Once you say it once, there will be a second time, a third time, and many more.

Hearing Li Xin's words, Mother Wang immediately became curious, "Can I open them and take a look?"

"Of course, these were bought for you," Wang Baoqiang said with a smile.

Hearing this, Mother Wang immediately found some scissors, ready to open the boxes.

Father Wang watched from the side, equally curious.

As Mother Wang opened the boxes, both of them exclaimed in surprise in unison.

"Wow, this stuff looks pretty good."

Father Wang and Mother Wang had never seen the things Li Xin and the others brought back.

Unable to find the words to express their surprise and wonder, they could only use 'wow' instead.

"Mom and Dad, these are food items, and those are for daily use," Li Xin stepped forward to introduce the things they had bought.

After everything was introduced, Father Wang and Mother Wang looked at Li Xin, liking her more and more.

"Alright, we've seen it all. It's getting late, let me cook for you guys," Mother Wang said, then got up and went to the kitchen... Meanwhile, on the other side, Chen Le and Yang Mi had finished cooking.

After the dishes were served, Mother Chen was shocked to see a table full of food that looked and smelled delicious.

She hadn't known before that her son's culinary skills were actually this good.

"Little Le, did you make all of these?" Mother Chen looked at her son in disbelief.

She felt as if she was getting to know her son for the first time.

"Not all of it; half of it was made by Mi Mi," Chen Le shook his head and said with a smile as he looked at Yang Mi.

"Mi Mi's cooking is this good too?" Mother Chen looked at Yang Mi with some surprise.

"Yeah, her cooking is very good too."

Hearing this, the smile on Mother Chen's face grew even wider.

Originally, she thought Yang Mi couldn't cook, but it turned out that not only could Yang Mi cook, her skills were actually quite good.

"Let's eat, Mom and Dad," Chen Le pulled Yang Mi to sit down and then began to eat.

Seeing this, Father Chen and Mother Chen also picked up their chopsticks.

The very first bite was incredibly impressive to them.

They didn't expect their son and his girlfriend to have such great cooking skills.

"Mi Mi, you made this dish, right! The taste is really good!" Mother Chen was not stingy with her praise.

Hearing Mother Chen's praise, Yang Mi's face turned slightly red, and she was also very happy in her heart that she had gained Mother Chen's approval.

Beside her, Father Chen also offered a word of praise, "It is indeed not bad."

Seeing this, Chen Le said with a smile, "Dad, that dish you're eating was stir-fried by me."

Hearing this, Father Chen glared at Chen Le and said, "I didn't say Mi Mi stir-fried it."

Hearing his father's words, a bitter smile appeared on Chen Le's face. Now Father Chen and Mother Chen were clearly showing favoritism towards Yang Mi.

However, Chen Le was actually very happy to see this situation.

After all, this meant that his parents liked and accepted Yang Mi.

After finishing the meal, Mother Chen took the initiative to get up and clear the dishes from the table.

Yang Mi helped out from the side, which made Mother Chen like her more and more as she watched.

Chen Le and Father Chen sat on the sofa.

Father Chen suddenly spoke up, "Little Le, is Mi Mi's home far from here?"

"It's alright, it's less than a two-hour drive."

"That far?" Father Chen said with some surprise.

"It's okay. We are in the city center, and Mi Mi's home is in a more suburban area."

"The straight-line distance is only about thirty kilometers, but there are many traffic lights on the road, so it takes two hours," Chen Le explained.

"I see," Father Chen nodded slightly, showing his understanding.

By this time, Mother Chen and Yang Mi had also finished washing the dishes.

After all, there weren't many dishes in total.

Seeing them coming over, Chen Le proactively gave up his seat.

"What were you guys talking about?" Mother Chen asked curiously.

"Nothing much, just talking about how far Mi Mi's home is from here."

Speaking of which, Mother Chen thought of something and asked, "Oh right, New Year's Eve is in a couple of days. Have you bought everything for the New Year?"

Hearing this, Yang Mi and Chen Le looked at each other and then realized that they hadn't bought anything.

"Uh, we're going to Mi Mi's house for the New Year, so we didn't buy anything," Chen Le said.

"It's not a matter of where you spend the New Year. After all, it is the New Year, and the house should always be decorated a bit. You can't stay at Mi Mi's house forever; New Year's Eve is fine, but you have to come back home after New Year's Eve," Mother Chen frowned and began to lecture after hearing Chen Le's words.

After hearing what his mother said, Chen Le realized it made sense.

"Then we'll go buy things tomorrow," Chen Le said.

"Okay, we'll go with you tomorrow," Mother Chen nodded.

Mainly because it was already late today, and it was already evening.

Soon, it was the next day.

Early in the morning, Chen Le was woken up by his mother's knocking.

Since his parents were home, they didn't dare to do anything and only dared to keep things very plain and simple.

If they played too much, they wouldn't be able to stop.

Although the soundproofing in the rooms was very good, Chen Le didn't dare to be too unrestrained.

Walking out of the bedroom, Chen Le found that his mother had already made breakfast, and his father was watching the news in front of the TV.

They got up very early, waking up after six o'clock.

It was only eight o'clock now, and both Chen Le and Yang Mi were up.

This was why Chen Le didn't dare to be unrestrained; they got up too early.

After washing up and eating breakfast, Mother Chen urged the two of them to head out.

Chen Le and Yang Mi looked at each other, both with helplessness in their eyes.

It was only the second day, and they were already experiencing a sense of helplessness.
