Chapter 402 Meeting the Parents
Chapter 402 Meeting the Parents
After New Year’s Eve there is a roadshow heading south. For Ran Feng, the roadshow is more like a holiday.
During last year's roadshow, the two arranged other itineraries in each city they arrived in.
Not this year. Apart from the roadshow work, I even have enough time to visit local attractions.
The roadshow went smoothly, and except for the fact that there were a lot of people at the attractions during the Spring Festival holiday, they had a great time.
The roadshow on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year was held in Jiangsu and Anhui. Yu Jiang was so nervous that she couldn't express it in words. She tried her best to remain normal, but people close to her could still see that she was unwell.
Ran Feng's parents were present at the roadshow, and after the show, she and Ran Feng would go straight back to his parents' home.
As soon as he got off the plane and headed to the cinema, Yu Jiang started to get nervous on the way.
Ran Feng was affected by her emotions and became a little nervous.
After seeing how Yu Jiang gets along with her family, I'm worried that she won't be able to adapt to her family atmosphere.
While watching the movie, the main creators were preparing for an interview in the back, and Ran Feng introduced his parents to Yu Jiang through a side glance.
"My mom and my dad watched the premiere, and they came to see it again this time. You don't have to worry about anything, my parents are your fans and love you more than they love me."
Yu Jiang wasn't worried about whether they liked it or not, she was just worried that she hadn't adjusted herself well enough to get along with her elders.
Holding her hand, feeling her palms full of sweat from nervousness, Ran Feng introduced her a few more words.
"My parents are both only children, so I don't have many relatives. When I go home, it will be just the two old people. My mother works in the Civil Affairs Bureau, and my father is a professor of geology..."
Yu Jiang had investigated this information before. She was not worried about his parents' personalities. Just by looking at Ran Feng, she could feel that they were both upright and kind people.
But she was still nervous, and even the interview after the movie was not in the right state.
In the past, the focus of interviews was on the two female protagonists, Yu Jiang and Du Miaomiao, but because the roadshow location this time was Ran Feng’s hometown, the local media paid special attention to him.
Apart from the performance and the movie itself, other gossip is about Ran Feng taking his wife back to his hometown.
Yu Jiang felt that this interview seemed to end faster than previous ones, and after the roadshow, he was going home with Ran Feng.
After saying hello to the other main creators, the two went straight to the parking lot to meet up with Feng Yixu and Ran Jingru.
Ran Feng was driving, Ran Jingru was sitting in the passenger seat, and Yu Jiang and Feng Yixu were in the back seat.
Yu Jiang's nervousness was immediately dispelled by Feng Yixu's enthusiasm. As soon as she got in the car, she took out the poster she had just received at the roadshow venue.
"After so many years, I finally succeeded in chasing stars offline! Teacher Yu, can you give me an autograph?"
"It's my honor that Auntie likes me..."
What followed was Yu Jiang's polite and boring greetings, which even made Ran Feng, who was driving, feel awkward.
Fortunately, Feng Yixu is very talented in chatting about family matters. When talking about today's movie, Yu Jiang became much more at ease.
The distance from the cinema to home is not short, and along the way Yu Jiang was no longer nervous under Feng Yixu's guidance.
After parking the car, Ran Feng took down the gifts prepared by Yu Jiang, and then they went home together.
Half of the meal at home was already prepared. The old couple asked Ran Feng to take care of Yu Jiang, and then went into the kitchen to get busy.
Yu Jiang said embarrassedly: "Should I go in and help symbolically?"
Ran Feng quickly pulled her away and said, "Let me show you around my house. Don't get involved in the kitchen work."
Ran Feng's home is a standard three-bedroom apartment, decorated in an old-fashioned popular style. It doesn't have any special features, but it is decorated in a particularly warm style.
There was nothing worth visiting in the living room, so Ran Feng took her directly to his bedroom.
Since he went abroad as a trainee in his teens, he actually hasn't had time to come back and live permanently, so his bedroom is basically still laid out the same way as when he was a teenager.
The house is decorated with big white walls and wooden furniture throughout. This kind of decoration is rarely seen nowadays, but it was considered a unified style back then.
The wall next to the desk is covered with pictures of Ran Feng's entire student days, from award certificates to graduation photos. His boyhood is pasted on the wall in sequence to make it more concrete.
Yu Jiang looked for Ran Feng in every group photo, and basically he looked like a fair and tender chubby baby.
"You were a little fat kid when you were young. I didn't expect you to be cute when you're fat. Find a chance to gain some weight in the future."
Ran Feng imagined himself getting fat, then shook his head to get rid of the image in his mind, "I just had baby fat on my face when I was a kid, but my body is thin!"
Seeing her disbelief, Ran Feng poked his head out and shouted towards the kitchen: "Section Chief Feng! Where is my childhood photo album?"
Feng Yixu wiped his hands and came out from under the TV cabinet to pull out a thick album that was as thick as a dictionary. "All your dark history before your debut is hidden here."
Ran Feng held the thick photo album, eager to prove himself.
I walked up to Yu Jiang and randomly opened a page. The center of the page was a photo of him wearing swimming trunks at the beach with a protruding belly.
The child, about six or seven years old, was white and chubby like a steamed bun, and his teeth were showing while his eyes were not, just like a doll in a New Year picture.
With a bang, Ran Feng slammed the album shut. "What happened just now doesn't count. I'll look for it again."
Yu Jiang tried hard to hold back his laughter as he watched him turn his back and furtively look for photos that could prove that he wasn't fat when he was a child.
Finally, his hard work paid off. He finally found a photo of himself attending the school celebration in junior high school. "Look, I told you I wasn't fat when I was a kid!"
After looking at the photos, Ran Feng took Yu Jiang to visit the study.
The study in their house doesn't look like a traditional study, but more like an award display room.
Ran Jingru's scientific research awards, Feng Yixu's official commendations, and the various music awards that Ran Feng has won over the years.
One wall of display cabinets still couldn’t hold all the space, so the certificates that could be stored away had been put away, and the glass cabinets were filled with trophies.
Ran Feng's expression was ready, but before he had time to show off, Feng Yixu brought in a bowl of soup, "We have to wait for dinner. Xiao Yu has a bad stomach, so drink a bowl of soup first."
"Our Section Chief Feng's ham and turtle soup is a must," Ran Feng took it naturally because he was afraid that the bowl would burn Yu Jiang. "It's a time-consuming and labor-intensive dish. I rarely get to eat it after I come back."
"Then I have to try Auntie's cooking." Yu Jiang took a sip of the soup from the spoon that Ran Feng scooped up.
The salty and delicious taste made Yu Jiang's eyes light up, "It's so delicious, Auntie!"
Yu Jiang, who was a little hungry, drank the whole bowl of soup happily. Feng Yixu looked at her with a smile, and it was unclear whether he was looking at a junior or an idol.
After finishing her own dish, and seeing that Yu Jiang liked her soup very much, Feng Yixu was in a good mood.
She simply left all the kitchen work to her husband and stayed to chat with Yu Jiang.
The three of them chatted from the study to the living room, leaving Ran Jingru alone busy in the kitchen.
