Yang felt regret at this moment, but a mistake was a mistake, and he had no words to say. However, the man's pride did not allow him to bow his head.
"Let's go eat with Mom!"
Yang's mother led the children into the kitchen, where she had prepared a lot of food.
"Come on, son, eat more. Xiao Ping, you too, eat more!"
Yang's mother kept piling food into the bowls of her two children, having no intention of leaving any for that old man. She was just an ordinary woman; she didn't understand national sentiments or the greater good. All she knew was how to protect her children like a hen shielding her chicks.
"Your dad has that foul temper; you all know that by now. Just ignore him. If he doesn't want to eat, then the three of us will finish our meal and let him starve!"
Tears welled up in Yang's mother's eyes as she thought of her eldest son, the child who was gone forever. It would be impossible for her to say she felt no resentment towards Yang Guangyi.
The three of them enjoyed their reunion dinner together, completely ignoring Yang Guangyi when he finally came out. They continued eating and chatting as if he were invisible. The table was nearly empty, clearly leaving no food for Yang Guangyi.
Hmph!
Seeing that there was no food left for him, Yang Guangyi angrily swept out of the room. It was truly outrageous; who would have thought that a military division commander would find himself in such a situation at home?
"Xiao He, did I just hear you say something about getting married?"
Yang Qingping was unsure if she had misheard. She knew her brother well. Since childhood, no matter where he went, girls always surrounded him. But he? Whether it was because he was slow to mature or for some other reason, he had always ignored those girls who clung to him and even found them annoying.
How could he suddenly have come to his senses after a few years in the countryside? And now he wanted to get married? She truly doubted whether she had heard correctly.
"What? Getting married?"
Hearing her daughter's words, Yang Mother reacted strongly.
The eldest had left early, leaving only Yang Qinghe as the sole man in the family, and she truly wanted to hold a grandchild.
"Mm!"
Yang Qinghe nodded. He was uncertain about his mother and sister's attitudes toward this matter, feeling somewhat anxious. However, he had thought it through: regardless of whether his family agreed or opposed, he was determined to marry Yu Songyu, and no one could separate them.
"Huh? Is that it? Just one word? You need to elaborate!"
This was a matter of her younger brother's lifelong happiness; as his sister, she had to know every detail.
Yang Qinghe recounted the story of how he and Yu Songyu had come to know each other, covering the basics.
"This girl is really something; she's kind-hearted. Is she planning to take care of Old Lady Wang in her old age?"
Yang Mother was quite moved when she heard that Yu Songyu recognized Aunt Wang as her grandmother.
"She’s indeed a good match for our Yang Qinghe!"
Yang Qingping expressed her admiration for this sister-in-law she had yet to meet.
"Then why not bring her over to celebrate the New Year together?"
"Mom, we’re not married yet! Besides, she has her own family to celebrate with!"
Yang Qinghe was surprised that his mother and sister's attitudes were completely opposite to his father's.
"What does the girl look like? Do you have a photo? Can I see?"
Yang Mother couldn't help but let her curiosity take over, digging for more information.
"Mom, Xiao He has seen countless beautiful girls since he was little! If she weren't pretty, would she catch his eye? Don’t worry; your daughter-in-law is definitely a great beauty!"
Yang Qingping was quite confident in her brother's taste in women.
