Chapter 231 Picking up Lin Qing's parents
On Sunday morning, after Lin Qing and Lu Yanqi finished their breakfast at home, they went to the supermarket to shop, mainly to buy some daily necessities needed by Lin's parents and some fresh vegetables and fruits.
Lin Qing held the shopping list in her hand, while Lu Yanqi pushed the shopping cart. Every glance and every communication revealed their tacit understanding.
After finishing shopping, they were on their way back to Zuizhuyuan Community when an elegant flower shop came into view.
Lin Qing had an idea: pick some flowers to decorate the living room.
So the two got out of the car and went into the flower shop. The shop was filled with rich fragrance, which made people intoxicated.
Following the enthusiastic introduction by the store clerk, Lin Qing selected several bouquets of colorful carnations and roses, hoping to add some vitality and beauty to her home.
When they got home, they sorted out the items they had bought and put them in their respective places.
Lin Qing put the bouquet of flowers in a vase and placed it on the table in the living room.
In an instant, the colorful flowers made the living room look brighter and more vibrant.
The high-speed train that Lin Qing's parents took arrived at 1:00 p.m.
Lin Qing and Lu Yanqi left home at around 12 o'clock, and Gu Nan drove a seven-seater commercial vehicle to the high-speed rail station to pick them up.
When they arrived at the high-speed rail station, there were still more than ten minutes before Lin's parents arrived, so Lin Qing sent a WeChat message to her mother to tell her that she and Lu Yanqi were already waiting at the exit.
When Lin Qing heard the station broadcast announcing that the Gxx train was about to arrive, he began to scan the exit, looking for his parents, while standing in the crowd.
Not long after, Lin's father and mother walked out of the station. Lin Qing immediately recognized them and quickly went over to them, pulling Lu Yanqi with him, shouting excitedly, "Dad, Mom, here!"
Hearing the voice, Lin's father and mother looked in the direction of the sound and soon saw their daughter and son-in-law waving at them.
Warm and kind smiles immediately appeared on their faces, especially Mother Lin, who hurried forward, muttering as she walked: "I told you not to come pick us up, we can just take a taxi ourselves, why did you come all this way?"
Lu Yanqi seemed very humble and polite. He smiled and greeted the two elders, "Dad, Mom, it's not hard at all. It's the weekend today, Qingqing and I are resting at home."
Looking at the tall, handsome and polite son-in-law in front of them, Lin's father and mother were filled with joy and kept nodding their heads to show their approval.
But for some reason, while feeling relieved, Lin's mother also felt a little worried.
It would be great if the daughter and son-in-law could always treat each other with respect and love each other. But if one day the couple had a quarrel, their family's strength would not be able to provide strong support for their daughter... Thinking of this, Mother Lin frowned slightly.
In order not to be noticed by everyone, Mother Lin quickly controlled her wandering thoughts and decided to cherish the present and worry about the future later.
Lin Qing and Lu Yanqi took Lin's parents into the business car. The atmosphere in the car was relaxed and pleasant. Lin's parents expressed their satisfaction with the comfort of the car and Lu Yanqi's careful arrangements.
The car quickly left the high-speed rail station and headed towards the reserved restaurant.
On the way, Mother Lin looked at the scenery outside the window, relaxed herself, tried her best to get back to a happy state, and took the initiative to chat with Lin Qing about the little things at home.
Dad Lin was discussing some things about the wedding with Lu Yanqi, such as the time, place and some specific arrangements of the wedding.
"I heard that your parents have already made some preliminary plans?" asked Lin's father.
Lu Yanqi nodded: "Yes, they have asked people to look at a few auspicious days, but the specific arrangements still need to be discussed by everyone."
Father Lin: "Of course, we also hope that your wedding can be perfect. We will try our best to cooperate with you."
Soon after, the car drove into an elegant restaurant.
Lin Qing and Lu Yanqi made a reservation in advance. After the four of them sat down, the waiter brought them the exquisite dishes.
As the dishes were served one by one, everyone began to enjoy lunch.
After lunch, everyone returned to Lin Qing's home together.
After getting off the car in the underground garage of the community, Lin Qing said to Lu Yanqi: "You have been with me for most of the day today. Go back and accompany your parents. You can take them to the restaurant later."
Today is a relatively important day. Lin Qing doesn't want Lu Yanqi to accompany her all the time, and wants him to go back to be with his parents.
Lu Yanqi was still a little worried about Lin Qing, but Lin Qing said, "Don't worry, didn't you arrange a driver to pick us up this afternoon?"
Lu Yanqi reluctantly stopped and said to Lin's father and mother, "Dad, Mom, you guys go upstairs and have a rest first. I'll go back first. See you in the evening."
After saying goodbye to Lu Yanqi, Lin Qing took his parents upstairs.
Last year, Lin's mother came here to play for two days, but it was the first time for Lin's father, so Lin Qing gave his parents a brief introduction to the room and the living room.
When they arrived at the study, Lin Qing suggested, "The bed in the study is a little small. I'll tidy up the upper bunk. Dad, Mom, can one of you sleep on the upper bunk and the other on the lower bunk? Or can Mom come to my room and sleep more comfortably?"
Mother Lin glanced at Father Lin and felt that she was shorter than him. "Then I'll sleep on the upper bunk, and your father will sleep on the lower bunk."
Although Lin Qing invited her mother to sleep in her room, she was married now.
Thinking that her daughter and son-in-law might come back to live here on weekdays, Mother Lin decided not to sleep in her daughter's room and leave it to the young people.
The house was very small and there was nothing much to introduce. Lin Qing asked his parents to sit in the living room while he went to wash the fruit.
Mother Lin sat in the living room, carefully looking at its layout.
She noticed that everything in the living room was arranged quite neatly and warmly, especially the bouquets of flowers which looked particularly gorgeous at the moment.
Her mood also became happier because she always knew that her daughter was a very independent person and she didn't need to worry about her.
Lin Qing carried a plate of washed fruits and placed it on the coffee table. "Dad, Mom, eat some fruits and take a rest. Lu Yanqi has arranged for the two families to have dinner together at 6pm. We will leave at 5pm, and Lin Rui will go directly from the company at that time."
Originally, Lu Yanqi arranged dinner time for five o'clock in the afternoon, but Yang Nuolin took into consideration that Lin Qing's parents would only arrive in G City in the afternoon and would definitely need a rest after the tiring journey, so she arranged six o'clock as a more appropriate time.
"Is Lin Rui's workplace far from here?" Lin's mother asked Lin Qing.
Lin Qing thought for a moment and replied, "Well...it's not particularly far. It will take about an hour's drive to get there."
After hearing this, Dad and Mom Lin nodded, ate a few more pieces of fruit, and then got up and walked towards the bedroom to take a nap.
After all, they have to get enough rest and be in the best condition to meet their in-laws in the evening.
