Chapitre 19: Chapter 19 Inexplicably, my heart aches for my dad for a second!_1
Actually, he knew that doing this would put Bai Susu in a difficult position.
But if he didn't say it like this, how could she possibly know his true feelings?
People, sometimes, need to express what they feel.
Previously, a movie depicted exactly that, where a couple had an argument, and the girl decided to pack her clothes to leave, while the guy sat on the couch smoking.
As the girl came out dragging her suitcase and opened the door, the boy didn't say a word.
In the end, the girl took that step and left.
Afterward, the girl said, "I thought he would stop me, but he didn't!"
The boy, however, said, "I thought she wouldn't leave, but she did!"
One assumed the other would hold on, and the other assumed their partner wouldn't leave. All these were assumptions!
Not reality!
So, what could have been a journey together, ended in separation!
Ye Fan remembered this and sighed.
He didn't want such a scenario to happen to him, so he had to speak up.
No one can read minds, no one is a worm inside the other's belly, hence, it must be said.
Only when it's said, can the other person understand!
"You rascal, well done, you've got your father's spirit!" Mother Ye watched her son with eyes brimming with admiration.
Yes, not bad at all!
Truly her son!
The words he spoke just now genuinely made her proud as a mother.
"Mom, how could you eavesdrop like that?" Ye Fan said with an amused and helpless smile.
What a situation!
He was inside baring his heart, and his mom actually eavesdropped at the door. That's too much!
Is this even his own mother?
How could she do such a thing!
That's over the top!
"You rascal, is it not okay for me to listen? I'm your mom, after all. Besides, I was just worried about you two," Mother Ye said matter-of-factly.
A moment ago, what happened really worried her terribly.
She thought something serious had occurred.
Turns out, it was a false alarm!
And she even got to hear her son's confession, which was really nice.
The way he said it was so moving it brought tears to her eyes.
You rascal, you're quite something.
Hearing his mom's words, Ye Fan instantly burst into laughter.
Look at that, that's his mom for you.
Whenever she was dissatisfied with him, she'd go on about how he wasn't her son, disowning him or whatever, and the moment he showed some promise, she'd claim he was her son. His mom's character really was unpredictable.
His dad must have had a hard time with her back in the day!
Out of the blue, he felt a pang of sympathy for his dad that lasted a whole second!
However, a woman's mood can change faster than flipping through a book.
There's an old saying, "A woman's heart is an ocean's needle."
"Mom, alright, you and Auntie Mei have both worked hard today. I'll cook the meal and let you taste my skills," Ye Fan said with a smiling.
After all, he had the skills of a junior chef, surely enough to satisfy his mom and the others.
"Okay, I'll go grocery shopping with you, and leave Xiao Mei to accompany Susu and take care of the kids," she said and then turned to go to the room.
After greeting Bai Susu and Xiao Mei, she dragged Ye Fan away with her.
Ye Fan didn't have much to say. If his mom wanted to come along, so be it.
They could also discuss what dishes to make.
The two of them arrived at the supermarket, with Ye Fan pushing a shopping cart right behind his mother.
"We need to buy some eggs, greens, pig trotters, and pigeons; we have to buy some of each since these are good for Susu's health. You know, childbirth can be hard on a woman's body, so she definitely needs to eat well to recover."
Mother Ye said this as she placed vegetables and such into the shopping cart.
Chicken, pig trotters, ribs, fish, even pigeons, and many more items were piled into the cart, along with quite a few side dishes for making soup.
Ye Fan pushed the cart, watching it fill up to the brim.
His mother really knew how to shop.
Of course, he had now experienced a woman's shopping prowess.
"Mom, stop buying, it's too much. Look, the cart can barely hold anymore. Let's just get what we need for today, and we can come back tomorrow for the rest," Ye Fan said with a full face of deadpan frustration.
Oh my, this...
Next time, I don't want to bring Mom along.
It's too scary!
Buying this much can't be finished in one meal, and by the second day, it won't be fresh anymore.
Though, it could be kept in the fridge, but, are we sure it will all fit?
Forget it, what's bought is bought.
Let's talk about it when we get back.
In the end, Ye Fan was carrying bags large and small, with an additional one hundred twenty pounds of rice on his back, while his mother Ye held a tray of eggs.
Well, after all, it's his own mother, so naturally, he shouldn't let her get too tired.
Luckily, his physical condition had improved by +5 before, otherwise, carrying all these groceries and the rice would have been the death of him.
Now, he felt perfectly fine, apart from struggling a bit with the numerous bags. As for the weight, not a problem at all.
"Son, walk faster, you need to exercise your strength. Or else, how can you carry your wife? That would be unacceptable," Mother Ye walked ahead, turning her head back to look at her son with a rather contemptuous expression.
Damn it, here we go again!
Ye Fan was utterly speechless.
This was after his System had already enhanced his physique; otherwise, he and his mother might not have made it back at all.
And yet she says I'm not up to par.
It's true, he had never done any hard labor at home. Although coming from the countryside, he never did any farming work, so it was normal for him not to be very strong.
Don't be fooled by his height of six feet tall. Back in the day, he was nothing but an empty shell, but now, he had gained a little bit of real strength.
No, he couldn't let his mother look down on him.
"Mom, you're really mean," Ye Fan said to Mother Ye.
All of this on him must weigh at least one hundred sixty pounds.
Just the rice alone was one hundred twenty pounds, not to mention the chicken, fish, pig trotters, ribs, lotus root, carrots, and greens he carried; those added up to some real weight.
Ah well, what can I do when the one speaking is my mother? I'll just bear it.
"You little brat, what are you saying? Your mom is thinking about what's best for you. We are almost home, just one more floor to go," Mother Ye said, although her mouth expressed one thing, deep down, she felt a bit of heartache seeing the faint sweat on her son's brow.
Yes, a bit of heartache!
Soon, they arrived at the door.
Mother Ye quickly pulled out her keys and opened the door. Ye Fan went inside and placed all the things in the kitchen before coming out to drink a glass of water his mother had poured for him.
He was truly parched.
He drank two glasses of water in one go.
"You little rascal, you worked hard!" Mother Ye said with a smile, patting her son's shoulder.
"Mom, I just knew you were doing it on purpose earlier, to motivate me," Ye Fan said with a smile, looking at his mother.
He wasn't stupid; of course, he understood.
"Take a rest. Let's start cooking. Mom will get to taste her son's cooking skills," Mother Ye said.
This was, after all, the first time her son would be cooking.
"Remember, stew the pigeons. Susu needs it for her breastmilk."
