Chapter 176 The "Ugly" Son-in-Law Meets His Mother-in-LawOver the next few days, Yun Ting took Mother Yun to climb the Great Wall, visit the Gate of Heavenly Peace and the Forbidden City.Although Mother Yun is over fifty, she is still in good health and was able to keep up with all the sightseeing these past few days.Yun Ting had bought a camera when she went to Flower City, so she took a lot of photos with Mother Yun these past few days and even took her for a walk around the campus.Tao Cairi went to climb the Great Wall with them, and then the next day she went to the shop and refused to go with them anymore.With only one day left before school starts, Yun Ting had to start preparing her lessons, so she didn't take Mother Yun out to play anymore. They had already visited all the places they wanted to go, and there would be plenty of time in the future."Mom, I'm starting classes tomorrow. If you're bored at home, go to the store with Older Female Cousin. You remember how to get to the market, right?""Don't worry! You can go to your class with peace of mind, Mom doesn't need to worry about you.""That's true! My mom's so shrewd, I don't need to worry about her at all, haha...""You silly girl, you're making fun of your mother."The next day! Yun Ting got up early in the morning, and her mother had already prepared breakfast.The night before, she asked Yun Ting what she wanted to eat. Yun Ting thought for a moment and said that she hadn't had her mother's corn pancakes in a long time.Sure enough, they arranged it for her first thing this morning.Hearing the noise, Yun Ting rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked out of the bedroom, her nose catching the sweet smell of corn filling the room first.She slipped on her slippers and approached the dining table, where she saw Mother Yun placing freshly baked cornbread on the table, the edges of the crusts still glistening with an enticing golden brown."Wow… corn tortillas." Yun Ting immediately perked up."Hurry up and go wash up..."Yun Ting quickly ran to wash up, and when she came back, her mother and Older Female Cousinwere sitting there waiting for her.She couldn't wait to pick one up, her fingertips slightly recoiling from the heat, but she still took a bite of the warm biscuit—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with the sweet taste of corn, it was incredibly satisfying to chew."Mmm...this is so delicious, it tastes just like mom's cooking...""Haha...then eat more.""My aunt's corn pancakes are really delicious.""Come on, don't just eat the pancakes, have some millet porridge too, it's good for your stomach.""Mom, you should eat too..."It has to be said that Mother Yun's arrival has taken excellent care of them. They can have a hot breakfast every morning, and the same goes for lunch and dinner. They don't have to lift a finger. The yard and house are also kept spotless.That evening, while chatting in the courtyard,Yun Ting hugged her mother Yun's arm and said affectionately, "A child with a mother is a treasure, and my mom is the best mom."Mother Yun gently tapped her forehead, "Little flatterer..."Cai Mei watched their interaction and smiled along, but her heart ached terribly. If... her mother were still alive, they would be just as warm and happy, wouldn't they?Once, when Mother Yun went to school, she quietly stood at the back of the classroom, her eyes fixed on her daughter in the center of the podium.Wearing a simple shirt, Yun Ting wrote fluently on the blackboard with chalk in hand, her voice clear and powerful. She occasionally interacted with the students below the stage, her eyes radiating confidence and composure.Her lectures were lively and interesting, and the atmosphere in the classroom was very active.Watching her daughter skillfully answer questions and guide discussions, Mother Yunrecalled how she herself used to sit at her desk doing homework as a child, and her eyes welled up with tears. Her child! She was her pride.Yun Ting has now gotten used to going to class every day. At first, some students were not happy about her graduating early to become a foreign language teacher for several classes, but after a while, they all shut up after seeing her teach.Alright! They are indeed excellent. Not only is their spoken English standard, but they can also use all kinds of sentences with ease. It's truly impressive....The time spent together is always too short.Time quickly came for Mother Yun to return home, because Liang Dan's due date was approaching, and she needed to go back early in case she went into labor and couldn't be left unattended.Yun Ting was packing for her mother, stuffing her with lots of things."Alright, stop stuffing it in, that's enough..."Mother Yun said, both amused and exasperated.Yun Ting originally wanted to take leave to send her home, but Mother Yun disagreed, saying that she could manage on her own and she didn't want to delay her work.Yun Huai is going back to his original unit this year. He's been very busy lately. He came over a while ago, had a quick meal with his mother and sister, and then went back.Yun Xu did come over twice, but right now she really doesn't have time to take Mother Yunhome unless she takes leave.But this was something Mother Yun wouldn't allow. She knew what she was doing; it wasn't her first time taking the train. All she had to do was put her on the train. She was an older woman, and kidnappers wouldn't bother with her. She would sew the money into the inside pocket of her clothes and keep a close eye on the valuables. There was nothing else to worry about."Mom, how about I take you home?"Mother Yun pretended to hit her, and Yun Tingjumped far away."I think you're just trying to take this opportunity to slack off... Pay attention in class, don't let down the school's cultivation and trust, and be a responsible and good teacher.""Yes, Mother, I will heed your teachings...""He's clowning around again, hurry up, let's go...""What's the rush? Your future son-in-law will drive you there later."After completing his advanced studies, Duan Xingye was transferred back to the Capital CityMilitary Region. Because of his previous meritorious service, he was directly promoted to the rank of regimental commander, so it was normal for him to be assigned a car.When I came to visit Yun Ting a while ago, I found out that my mother-in-law had come. I was a little caught off guard. When he saw his mother, Yun Ting, who is usually very composed, became nervous and stammered, which madeYun Ting very happy.To make a good impression, he would come over every few days to show his presence. Despite being very busy, he would rush over whenever he had a spare moment, afraid that his future mother-in-law would be unhappy and disapprove of their relationship.So, upon learning that his mother-in-law was going back today, he had already made arrangements to personally drive her to the station and even bought her a sleeper ticket.With a son-in-law like this, how could a mother-in-law not be satisfied?Indeed, Mother Yun is very satisfied with the boyfriend her youngest daughter is dating."This is too much trouble, Xiao Duan. We can just take the bus.""What's the trouble? He wants to marry your precious daughter, that's only natural, otherwise wouldn't that be letting him off easy?"Just then, Duan Xingye strode in, overheard everything, and coughed lightly…"Ahem... Auntie, is everything packed?""Hey, everything's ready. Xiao Duan's here? Have you eaten yet? Look how much trouble this was, I hope it didn't interfere with your work.""Auntie, it's alright, it won't delay you. Xiaoyun is right, this is what I should do." As he said this, he glanced at Yun Ting with a playful look. Yun Tingdidn't feel embarrassed at all and met his gaze very openly."Sigh...this girl just loves to joke around..."Duan Xingye smiled and looked at Yun Ting with affection, "This personality is so endearing..."Mother Yun got into the jeep and carefully touched the seat. It was the first time in her life she had ever ridden in a car! Thanks to her son-in-law."Mom, how is it? Is the car comfortable? I'll buy one for you someday, and I'll take you for a drive every day..."Yun Ting spoke earnestly, but Mother Yunthought she was just bragging…"Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue? You really dare to say that.""Mom, just wait..."
