So she comforted him, “Don’t worry, my mom really likes good-looking people. Just stand in front of her, and she’ll be all smiles. Maybe the last photo was too small and not clear enough to show all your handsomeness, so my mom was a little ‘reserved’. My current sister-in-law, Su Cai, was chosen by my mom at first sight because she’s good-looking, and she’s interested in getting to know her. You’ll be fine too!”
“As for my dad, he loves to drink. Just bring a couple of jugs of wine, have a few drinks with him, and he’ll treat you like family.”
Upon hearing this, Yun Guyuan nodded, intending to take some time to find out what good wines were available today.
As she continued reading the letter, she was surprised to find that her mother’s tone changed completely after she had just finished scolding her.
[…But I have to say, my daughter is so smart, and she has such good taste. The guy she found is not only smart, but also sincere, has beautiful handwriting, and looks good even in the photo. I was initially quite upset after reading your letter, afraid you’d be blind like your brother.]
[But after reading Xiao Yun’s letter, I felt much more at ease. His handwriting reflects his character; the sincerity and appreciation he shows for you are priceless. He’s also considerate, polite, and a good kid. He even wrote to us because he was afraid we’d scold you.]
[Our family isn’t the kind that wants to marry off their daughter to climb the social ladder. As long as he treats you well and is ambitious, we’re at ease.]
[We approve of you two dating, but you can’t do anything reckless. Take your time and focus on your studies. Bring Xiao Yun home for the New Year soon.]
Yi Qingqing, reading, said to Yun Guyuan, “See? What did I tell you? You haven’t even arrived in person yet, and you’ve already won over my mother with just a photo and a letter. She wants me to bring you home for the New Year as soon as possible!”
Her mother praised Yun Guyuan at length before finally remembering her own daughter.
[I really didn’t expect my daughter to do so well on the exam. She got into Beijing University! I’m so happy that I could laugh in my sleep. Your Aunt Fang will have to avoid me from now on. No matter what she says, I just need to say, ‘My daughter is the top scorer in the province and got into Beijing University’, and I’ll have completely defeated her. Hahaha!]
[Your dad was showing off your newspaper article about being the top scholar all over the factory, making all the colleagues say it was great news, and he had to treat everyone to drinks. He was so happy that he agreed, but later he felt bad when he saw his precious empty wine bottle and didn’t say anything again!]
[And another thing, why are you still sending money home? Could it be that you sent back all the money we sent you without spending it?]
[Now that you’re in university, you can’t get food or meat as you did in the countryside. You have to spend money on everything. How can the meager subsidies be enough?]
[Your brother is already married and has his own family, so he can be independent. You are still studying. Your father and I can easily support you. Besides, your brother and sister-in-law are very supportive of your studies. You are now the star of our family, which is a great honor. Don’t put the cart before the horse; neglect your life and studies just to save money.]
[It’s not too late to take care of us after you’ve finished your studies and found a good job. If you dare to send money back then, we’ll have a good talk during the New Year to see if you’ve become too proud of yourself after getting into university and have forgotten everything your mother said.]
