Chapter 89

Zhou’s mother asked Shen Anan about the marriage customs in her hometown before, but Shen Anan didn’t know anything about it. Mother Zhou had no choice but to go to the oarfish, the elder brother, to inquire about the news.

As a result, the oarfish looked at her in shock: “Is there a custom in marriage? Isn’t it all straight knots?”

“…”

Zhou’s mother was helpless: “I remember you said before that there is a grandfather at home. You can call him and let him come out. Let’s have a meal together and meet up, and we can also discuss the matter of marriage by the way.”

The oarfish’s eyes lit up. He thought that only baby An Ansheng could lure Grandpa Turtle out of the deep sea, but he didn’t expect to talk about marriage.

The oarfish said excitedly: “I’ll pack up immediately and go back and call my grandpa.”

Mother Zhou: “…just make a phone call. Why do you have to go back and call in person?”

During the time that the oarfish lived here, Zhou Suiyu gave the oarfish a mobile phone, and Shen Anan taught him how to make a phone call.

So the oarfish is now a fish that can play with mobile phones.

Hearing Mother Zhou’s question, Huang Daiyu pulled his hair and casually told a small lie: “…Well, my grandfather is old and can’t use a mobile phone. And we can’t use a mobile phone there.”

It really can’t be used. Before, a fish bought a waterproof mobile phone from the outside, and it turned out to be very waterproof, but it blew up as soon as it entered the deep sea.

The day when the oarfish picked up Grandpa Turtle happened to be a weekend.

Zhou Suiyu and Zhou’s father didn’t go to work, so it was rare for the family to get together like this, and they all waited in the yard.

Originally, Zhou Suiyu was going to drive to the pier to pick up the oarfish and Grandpa Turtle, but at first, he couldn’t get through by calling the oarfish. After a while, they finally got through, and the oarfish and the others were already in the car.

So Zhou Suiyu did not pick him up again, but stayed at home and waited with everyone.

Shen Anan was so excited that she could see Grandpa Turtle, so she didn’t sleep well all night last night. This will even run to the gate of the courtyard from time to time to see.

Father Zhou was also excited.

While excited, I couldn’t help but look forward to it.

An An is a mermaid, An An’s brother is also a mermaid, so An An’s grandfather is probably also a mermaid, right?

He has seen mermen, mermen, but he has never seen an old man!

Under the high expectations of everyone, the car that the oarfish and the old turtle were in finally arrived late. Zhou Suiyu took the initiative to help open the car door, the oarfish came down first, and then the old turtle.

Still with that white beard and hair, smiling face, he doesn’t look like an old turtle, but an old fairy.

This is not the first time that Zhou Suiyu has seen the old turtle, and the two of them have met three times. The first time was when the old sea turtle turned into a human and went to the pier and fell to the ground to “touch porcelain”. After being picked up by Zhou Suiyu, he begged to beg Bailai to introduce his granddaughter to him; the second time was not a human form, but a prototype At that time, Zhou Suiyu was walking on the beach, but the old sea turtle repeated his tricks and started to touch the porcelain. Zhou Suiyu turned him over, and the old sea turtle quickly turned his feet into the sky. The two were wrestling with each other. Yes, at that time, Zhou Suiyu thought he had met a not-so-smart turtle… The third time was when we all had a barbecue and drink together before leaving the island. At that time, the drunk old turtle also said that he wanted to introduce his granddaughter to Zhou Suiyu, Zhou Suiyu thought that the granddaughter of the old turtle was an octopus!

However, although I have met back and forth several times, it is the first time I have officially met the old turtle as my grandson-in-law.

So much so that Zhou Suiyu got stuck for a while and called out, “Grandpa.”

The old turtle said with a smile: “Okay, okay, come and come, this is a gift from Grandpa to you.”

After speaking, the old turtle took out a night pearl from the cloth bag on his back and handed it to Zhou Suiyu.

Zhou Suiyu: “…”

He finally knew where An An’s habit of giving away pearls at every turn came from, and feelings are still their family tradition!

In order to catch the wind and dust for the old turtle, Zhou’s mother directly booked a box at the best restaurant in Whale City. It happens that this is also the hotel where Zhou Suiyu and Shen An’an will have their wedding in March next year. You can also visit and inspect the hotel to see if the dishes suit your taste and the environment.

With so many people, a car will definitely not be able to fit.

So Zhou’s father planted Zhou’s mother and Chen’s mother by car.

Then Zhou Suiyu drove the old turtle and his family of three.

In fact, Zhou’s father and Zhou’s mother originally meant that the old turtles were all elders and they were easy to talk to. But Zhou Suiyu thought that Shen Anan and the old turtle had not seen each other for so long, and he probably had a lot to say, so he directly refused for the old turtle.

The old turtle looked at Zhou Suiyu approvingly, not bad, it seems that this grandson-in-law is quite considerate!

The old sea turtle was in a hurry when he left the island last time. He saw the sea bird spirit and asked a few things before going back. He didn’t have time to go shopping in the city.

Now I finally have time to take a good look at the changes in the whale market over the years.

Old Turtle: “The change is really big. When I came here before, it seemed that this place was still a wasteland, not to mention high-rise buildings, and there was not even a shadow of a ghost.”

Zhou Suiyu thought to himself, no, this area is one of the earliest developed areas in Whale City. At least as far back as he can remember, this place has been so prosperous.

In the end, Shen Anan asked Zhou Suiyu the doubts in his heart: “How long ago did you say before?”

The old turtle raised his head and thought for a long time: “Probably, more than 50 years ago?”

Everyone: “…”

Once it came up, it took more than 50 years of time back, so it must not have changed much!

After Zhou’s father arrived at the store ahead of schedule, he hurriedly asked Zhou’s mother, “Have you ordered?”

Mother Zhou: “I ordered it!”

Father Zhou: “Have you ordered seafood?”

Mother Zhou: “I ordered it! I ordered a lot! What king crab, oyster, lobster, geoduck… I ordered all of them.”

Father Zhou immediately said: “Cancel cancellation, all cancel…”

Mother Zhou and Mother Chen looked at him suspiciously. Father Zhou said, “It’s too late to explain, anyway, listen to me, cancel it immediately and replace it with another dish.”

The waiter next to him responded quickly and replaced the seafood in the menu with other specialties in the store. When Father Zhou saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief, loosened his tie and started drinking water.

Zhou’s mother: “No, why is it that you suddenly don’t allow seafood to be eaten? Didn’t you like seafood the most before?”

Of course Father Zhou couldn’t tell the truth to Mother Zhou, so he had to say casually: “I went to the doctor a few days ago, and the doctor said that my blood lipids are high, so I will stop seafood today.”

Mother Zhou immediately asked with concern, “Is that serious?”

Father Zhou: “It’s not serious, just don’t eat seafood.”

While Zhou’s father and Zhou’s mother were talking, the old turtle led Shen An’an and others to arrive.

Zhou’s father and Zhou’s mother respectfully gave the old turtle to the first seat, and then the two sat next to the old turtle. Next are Chen Ma, Zhou Suiyu, Shen An’an and the oarfish.

Although Zhou’s father and Zhou’s mother had ordered dishes in advance, Zhou’s mother still politely handed the menu to the old turtle, indicating to the old turtle to see if there was anything he wanted to eat.

The old turtle refused a few times, but he couldn’t. Then he looked at the menu ordered by Zhou’s mother and said, “It seems that there is no seafood? Would you like to add two courses of seafood?”

Oatfish: “I want to eat hairy crabs.”

Shen An’an: “I want to eat lobster.”

Father Zhou: “…???”

When the seafood was on the table, Zhou’s father looked at Shen An’an, the oarfish and the old turtle who were eating deliciously, and felt that every bite of the steel teeth would be crushed.

But the emperor octopus still looked at Zhou’s father innocently: “Why doesn’t my uncle eat seafood? It’s delicious!”

Before Father Zhou had time to speak, Mother Zhou, who was beside him, had already replied intimately for him: “His blood lipids have been high recently, and the doctor advised him to give up seafood.”

After speaking, Mother Zhou also put a chopstick and green vegetables into the bowl in front of Father Zhou, and said softly, “If you can’t eat seafood, then eat more vegetables!”

What can Father Zhou do? He could only bear the humiliation and bear the burden of eating the green vegetables, pretending that he was eating the green lobster.

Halfway through the dinner, the topic finally became formal, and we began to talk about marriage.

At this time, the parties who really want to get married are like outsiders, both elders are talking.

And there are routines in this kind of chat, usually belittling one’s own children, and praising the other’s children by the way.

Old Turtle: “Oh, our little An has been spoiled by me and her brother since childhood. Don’t look at being such a big man, but he can’t do anything at all, neither can cook, nor clean up the house, and he likes to sleep in every day. It’s not like your family Zhou Suiyu, you have a decent job, and you can cook good food.”

Mother Zhou: “Oh, Grandpa An An, don’t say that. I like Xiao An from the bottom of my heart. He is beautiful and well-behaved. The most important thing is that he is caring. No wonder people say that daughters are parents’ sweet little padded jackets. Like my son, who is like an ice cube every day, neither considerate nor speak sweet words… You can rest assured, Grandpa An An, in the future, An An will marry into our family, and I will follow my father Yu and treat her as a daughter, never. Let An An be half wronged.”

The old turtle: “Oh, then I’m relieved. My dear, you don’t know, Xiao An has no father or mother since he was a child. How can an old man like me bring any children, so these two children used to eat with me. After a lot of hardships, I am old, and I have nothing else to look forward to. I hope that these two children will have a smooth life and be happy… In this way, when I see their parents in the future, I can also explain to them La!”

Shen Anan listened happily, but when she heard the last sentence of the old turtle, her heart suddenly became sour. Because of birth, old age, sickness and death, it is always the most sad topic.

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Zhou Suiyu was about to comfort him when he heard the oarfish come over and whispered: “Don’t listen to Grandpa Turtle’s nonsense, he has a long life! Otherwise, why would everyone say that a thousand-year-old king is eight thousand years old? The turtle of the year!”

Shen An’an: “…”

Because the old turtle is not the type of person who makes unreasonable demands, and Zhou’s mother and Zhou’s father are really very satisfied with Shen An’an, so on the topic of marriage, the two sides talked very smoothly, with almost no setbacks.

The only thing the old turtle was worried about was whether the Zhou family knew Shen An’an’s true identity, and if they knew, could they still accept Shen An’an.

Although standing in the position of the old turtle, he very much hoped that Zhou Suiyu and Shen An’an could be together, after all, it could be seen that these two children truly love each other.

But if An An’s premise for marrying into the Zhou family is to conceal her identity and compromise, then the old turtle would be a little unhappy to tell the truth. After all, in the eyes of the old turtle, An An is worthy of the best boy on land.

So after the dinner, the old turtle took an opportunity to ask Zhou Suiyu: “Do your parents know Xiao An’s true identity?”

Zhou Suiyu: “My dad knows, my mom doesn’t know yet.”

Old Turtle: “Then how did your dad react?”

Zhou Suiyu thought for a while: “It didn’t seem like there was any special reaction, so I just accepted it naturally.”

Zhou Suiyu would say this because he had been living with Shen An’an in his new home during this period of time, so he didn’t know a series of follow-up situations about his own father’s insomnia and being kicked out of the room by Zhou’s mother because of this.

When the old turtle heard Zhou Suiyu’s words, half of his heart was put down. At least one person knew it, not that both parents were completely ignorant: “Then on your mother’s side, when are you going to confess to her?”

Zhou Suiyu: “You can anytime! Otherwise, I’ll tell her when I go back at night?”

The old turtle didn’t beat around the bush with him, and asked directly, “Based on what you know about your mother, do you think she can accept An An after she knows it?”

Zhou Suiyu said firmly, “She will.”

night.

study.

Mother Zhou sat on the sofa and repeated Zhou Suiyu’s words: “You mean, An An’s true identity is a mermaid?”

Zhou Suiyu nodded: “Yes.”

“Then… Then, did you know it before you were with An An, or did you only know it later?”

Zhou Suiyu said frankly: “I knew from the beginning. The first time I saw her, she appeared as a mermaid!”

“So when you knew she was a mermaid, did you choose to be with her willingly?”

“right!”

“If I don’t agree, am I going to lose my son?”

In the end, Mother Zhou thought that Zhou Suiyu would have the same answer as the previous questions. Because she has seen many children negotiating with their parents, the trump card that she uses is either to force each other to the death or to cut off the parent-child relationship.

To tell the truth, Zhou’s mother is still very chilled by this approach. After all, who would like to raise a child who has worked so hard to raise his own child, who would tear himself apart when something happened?

Fortunately, Zhou Suiyu is not.

Zhou Suiyu shook his head and said, “No, even if you don’t agree, I will always be your and father’s son. But without An An, I would be very sad, so please do it.”

Zhou’s mother had never heard Zhou Suiyu say the word “beg”, and in this family, this word is not used. When he said that, he was fine himself, but Zhou’s mother couldn’t help but pantothenic acid in the corners of her eyes.

“Okay, okay, I didn’t say I disagree…”

Zhou Suiyu’s eyes lit up: “So you agree?”

Mother Zhou: “Actually, I don’t want to agree. After all, what do I think, how do I think this person and the mermaid can live together? But An An, this child, I really like it… and my son has already chosen this. It’s a difficult road to love, and even if I, the mother, can’t help, I can’t block it!”

Zhou Suiyu sincerely thanked Zhou’s mother: “Thank you mother.”

Zhou’s mother waved her hand: “don’t thank me, it’s your own choice, you can take responsibility for yourself… I believe that the two of you can be together, and An An must have paid more than you. After all, she is a girl who has left her hometown. It’s not easy, since you chose to be with her, you must treat her well.”

Zhou Suiyu nodded cautiously: “I know.”

Although Zhou Suiyu knew before that Zhou’s mother would definitely not object, he couldn’t help feeling happy that the matter could be resolved so smoothly.

He immediately shared the good news with Shen Anan.

Because Shen An’an was sitting in the yard drinking tea with the old turtle and the oarfish, the old turtle and the oarfish also heard the good news for the first time.

The old sea turtle who loved to cry immediately burst into tears: “Oh, this is really good, I was still worried…”

The oarfish: “I’m worried too.”

While comforting the old turtle, Shen Anan glanced at the oarfish: “What are you worried about?”

The oarfish said confidently, “Didn’t you watch the show on TV? Usually, at such times, parents would come out and object. They would say, if you continue to be with that woman, I won’t recognize you as a son…”

Zhou Suiyu: “…So you’re worried that my parents will not recognize me?”

The oarfish: “Yes, I’m ready to be your father and mother.”

Zhou Suiyu: “…” Then I really thank you!
