Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Chapter 560 Love
You can say Huang Huijuan is heartless, or that she’s carefree about her son’s antics.
But the one thing you can’t do is let her lose face or be at a disadvantage in front of Jiang Yingxue.
However, it has happened now, and she feels guilty, even her voice is three tones softer when speaking with Jiang Yingxue.
"Do you rember that Sea Breeze Restaurant in Bin Hai we used to go to? It’s still open. How about I treat you to dinner there tonight?"
Jiang Yingxue saw Huang Huijuan’s ingratiating look, and inside she was almost laughing uncontrollably.
She vaguely guessed so reasons, after all, Ruan Hongzhuang discussed Taozi with her, and once she ca back, she observed carefully and found traces of Taozi’s life everywhere.
Still, she was quite interested in the restaurant Huang Huijuan ntioned.
It’s part of their youthful mories. Back then, a group of them ca to Bin Hai. Huang Huijuan’s parents treated them at the Sea Breeze Restaurant. The local specialty dishes left a deep impression on her.
But that was the only al they had there. Thereafter, they ate at Huang Huijuan’s house because, back in those days, eating out frequently was considered too extravagant for an average family.
"So many years have passed, can the owner’s son still cook?"
"The owner has passed away; his son took over. But the recipes haven’t changed, it’s still the sa taste. Every ti I co to Bin Hai, I eat there once..."
"Alright then, let’s have Sani skip cooking dinner tonight, and we’ll go together," Jiang Yingxue said with interest.
"Just the two of us, we won’t bring them. Big Head doesn’t like the food there," Huang Huijuan said ingratiatingly.
"Alright, but is Big Head Si Yuan’s nickna?" Jiang Yingxue asked with a smile.
"Yes, when he was little, he had a big head, and everyone called him Big Head. Over ti, it just beca his na."
Huang Huijuan was willing to tarnish her son’s reputation to please Jiang Yingxue.
Jiang Yingxue turned back and loudly said to Shen Siyuan, "Big Head, help pour your mom a glass of water."
She did it on purpose.
As expected, Shen Siyuan imdiately turned his gaze to Huang Huijuan.
Feeling guilty, Huang Huijuan avoided his eyes, not daring to make eye contact.
Shen Siyuan made a pot of tea and poured it for them, then sat down across from them without leaving.
He then complained, "Mom, didn’t I tell you not to call Big Head."
Originally feeling a bit guilty, upon hearing this, Huang Huijuan imdiately beca assertive.
"What’s the big deal? Aren’t nas ant to be used? It’s been Big Head for so many years without any problem. What now, just because you’ve grown up, you don’t want people to call you that anymore?"
Shen Siyuan was stunned.
"So now it’s my fault, huh?"
"Otherwise, is it my fault for using your na? Should I and your Aunt Jiang start calling you Mr. Shen?"
Huang Huijuan was clever, roping Jiang Yingxue in, leaving Shen Siyuan with nothing more to say.
He could only shrug, "Whatever you want, as long as it makes you happy."
Watching the mother-son interaction, Jiang Yingxue smiled beside them. She actually liked such a mother-son relationship.
With bickering, life becos rich and flavorful.
"By the way, my dad is coming this afternoon," Shen Siyuan said.
"What’s he coming for?" Huang Huijuan frowned.
"Naturally, to take you ho," Shen Siyuan replied.
"Do I need him to take ? I can’t find my own way ho? Did you not want to stay here, which is why you inford your dad?"
"It’s not like that. It’s just that my dad misses you. Can you rember any ti since you got married that you’ve been apart for this long?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Huijuan was filled with joy, yet she stubbornly replied, "Well, there was that one year I went out of town for training and we were apart for almost two months."
"Forget it, it was just one week. My dad went to find you and left with Grandma. I even thought you both didn’t want anymore. Don’t think I’ve forgotten," Shen Siyuan said, recalling the ti, seemingly speechless.
In truth, Shen Siyuan hadn’t thought that way at the ti, but he couldn’t help the village folks’ gossip.
They said his parents didn’t want him and had left him in the countryside and so on.
Because the Shen Family had a precedent; Shen Siyuan’s grandfather abandoned his dad back in the day.
At that ti, Shen Siyuan was too young and really believed what was said in the village.
This is why Shen Siyuan had the best relationship with Grandma, because sotis his parents really left him, the son, speechless.
There’s a saying that parents are true love, and children are accidents. Shen Siyuan felt this saying precisely described his family, it perfectly fit.
"Your parents have such a wonderful relationship," Jiang Yingxue said with envious admiration from the side.
She wasn’t envious of their affection, but rather of their decades-long, unchanging devotion to each other, even at such an old age, they could still maintain love for one another.
This is sothing many people find hard to achieve, including Jiang Yingxue herself.
Back then, for Ruan Hongzhuang’s father, she had a falling out with her own mother, even cutting ties at one point. It showed how intense her love for Ruan Xiangqian was.
But ti wears away everything; the craziness of youth also fades as ti passes, the novelty withdraws and everything becos plain like water. The original love turns into familial affection, into a responsibility.
That’s actually the state of most families; people can’t live in a state of love forever.
That’s why couples like Huang Huijuan and her husband are so rare and precious.
Jiang Yingxue always thought Huang Huijuan was a bit silly, not to say she’s dumb, but considering that during their era, those who got into college were far from fools, it’s more accurate to say she’s simple, straightforward, and dislikes overthinking.
Thinking of this, the figure of Taozi appeared in her mind. She suddenly felt that the two of them really had sowhat similar personalities.
Perhaps...
Jiang Yingxue looked at Shen Siyuan; if it hadn’t been for her daughter’s intervention, maybe Shen Siyuan and Taozi would have really ended up together.
Because most kids, regardless of gender, when choosing a partner, subconsciously look for soone with traits similar to their parents. This is a subconscious behavior.
At this mont, Ruan Hongzhuang and Taozi were also on their way ho.
"When I et Shen Siyuan’s mom, how should I introduce myself..."
"If she knows about and Shen Siyuan, will she look down on ..."
"Maybe I shouldn’t go, just take back..."
As Taozi spoke, her mood turned gloomy again.
Ruan Hongzhuang sighed helplessly. Her mood was like a roller coaster, happy one mont, sad the next.
"Alright, I can assure you, Shen Siyuan’s mom definitely won’t look down on you."
"Why?"
"Because Shen Siyuan is her son, as long as I don’t mind, she definitely won’t have an opinion."
"Really? Why do you think so?"
"Because won only mind if their husband is unfaithful, but they never mind if their son is."
"That sounds reasonable..."
Taozi showed a silly, cute expression.
Which made Ruan Hongzhuang want to reach out and pinch her face again.
