Chapter Forty-Four: Returning to Hangzhou for Vacation

  Hangzhou, famous for its beautiful West Lake scenery!

  "Beautiful West Lake, old and dilapidated Hangzhou!" This was the overall evaluation of Hangzhou and West Lake by the US President after his first visit to China. However, if he were alive today and saw Hangzhou, he would definitely take back his words!

  Since childhood, Ouyang Qiushui has been yearning for the beautiful West Lake in Hangzhou and hopes to come to Hangzhou and visit West Lake personally. Ouyang Qiushui knows that today's Hangzhou not only has beautiful scenery that makes people linger, but also has exquisite local snacks. So when Zhang Hang suggested going to his home first, Ouyang Qiushui readily agreed!

  During his time in military school, Zhang Hang returned home twice a year; since entering the training camp until now he has not returned home. Although usually also have phone calls with family members to report safety, but after all can't meet in person, that strong family atmosphere this small telephone line is no matter how can't be transmitted.

  For the first time going to her boyfriend's home to meet her future in-laws, Ouyang Qiushui felt both nervous and excited.

  "Don't be nervous, an ugly daughter-in-law will eventually meet her parents-in-law!" Zhang Hang's comforting words sounded a bit awkward.

  "How dare you say I'm ugly? You're looking for death, you stupid bird! As soon as the words fell, Ouyang Qiushui stretched out his "Shaolin Dragon Claw Hand", grasped Zhang Hang's right arm with one hand, applied "inner force", and twisted it forcefully."

  A scream was heard, followed by a pleading voice: "Madam, spare my life, I haven't finished speaking yet, there's more to come."

  "What is it? Hurry up and say!"

  "Besides, you're not ugly at all, but a stunning beauty, your in-laws will definitely love you when they see you!"

  Seeing Ou Yang Qiu Shui's furious face, Zhang Hang's head spun quickly and he immediately thought of a way to make amends.

  It's really deserved, every time can't avoid her move "Shaolin Dragon Claw Hand", women who have learned combat are really not easy to mess with!

  As for Zhang Hang's nickname "Clumsy Bird", Ouyang Qiushui has been using it until now. As for this, Zhang Hang also didn't dare to say much, and could only obediently accept it.

  "This is more like it, you're being sensible! Hearing Zhang Hang call her 'wife', she couldn't help but blush and scold: "Don't be reckless, or I'll twist your neck off! Who says I must marry you? This girl hasn't even nodded yet!"

  "Firstly, your body is already filled with my scent, you are already my private property; Secondly, it's not hard to make you nod, I can take you down in just three moves!"

  "Oh! Is that so? Then is there a third one?" Ou Yang Qiushui's eyes suddenly became very gentle.

  "Of course, there is a third one. With your precise and powerful 'Shaolin Dragon Claw' technique, who else can withstand your grasp besides me? Who can endure such long-term torture? Who would dare to marry you?"

  "So that's still unfair to you, is it?" Ou Yang Qiushui smiled and her eyes became increasingly gentle as she slowly approached Zhang Hang.

  Buddha said: I do not enter hell, who enters hell...; When Ou Yang Qiu Shui's position was close to the danger zone, Zhang Hang struggled out of those gentle eyes that could melt people, and escaped in a flash before "Shaolin Dragon Claw" arrived.

  A warm feeling surged up in Zhang Hang's chest, his heart was tender and soft. Ouyang Qiushui was the most loving treasure in his heart! The iron man who made enemies tremble on the battlefield, the lone hero who had killed countless people, could never withstand Ouyang Qiushui's gaze, a finger, a smile.

  Iron Blood and Tender Feelings!!!

  "Dare to run? Let me tell you, stupid bird, you're dead for sure!" A loud shout, two figures, one in front of the other, unfolded a bizarre chase.

  Passersby stopped and turned back, looking up at the handsome young man and beautiful woman who were flirting openly in broad daylight. Fortunately, Hangzhou is an open city, and its citizens are already used to such scenes!

  "Dad, Mom, I'm back!" As soon as he opened the door and stepped into the room with one foot, Zhang Hang shouted loudly.

  It's been a long time since I've been home, and Zhang Hang felt a warm feeling in his heart.

  Home is forever the warmest place in this world!

  Today is a double rest day. Father Zhang Jianhua and Mother Ye Tong are sitting on the sofa chatting. Hearing the son's shout, they both stood up happily.

  "Come back and give us a call in advance, we'll go pick you up..."; Seeing a tall and slender girl standing next to her son, Mrs. Zhang changed the subject: "Who is this..."

  Before her son could respond, Zhang's mother had a sudden thought: It seems likely that she is his girlfriend.

  The girl in front of me, with a slender figure and an absolutely beautiful face, is elegant and charming. Even standing there casually, she exudes confidence, stability, and determination. It's the kind of elegant demeanor and calm confidence that comes from experiencing the passage of time.

  Ye Tong couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart. This kid had great taste, just like his dad.

  "I wanted to surprise you, so I didn't tell you." Zhang Hang put down his luggage and explained: "Let me introduce her to you, her name is Ouyang Qiushui, my girlfriend. This time I came back home half for visiting you, half for our matter."

  "Uncle, Auntie, hello!"; Knowing that the kind old man in front of her was Zhang Hang's parents, Ouyang Qiushui greeted them politely.

  "Ah, ah!"; Zhang Jianhua saw his son bring back such a beautiful girlfriend and was already overjoyed: "Miss Ouyang, come, sit down quickly!"

  Zhang Jianhua only took a brief glance at Ouyang Qiushui, and the strong military bearing that emanated from her entire being made him inexplicably fond of her. Seeing his son with Ouyang's daughter, Zhang Jianhua seemed to see his own youthful appearance, and the familiar military flavor instantly brought him back to the barracks.

  When I was a soldier myself, I also had a crush on a girl in the army. Later, due to differences in time and space, he and that girl missed each other, having no fate together.

  Later on, he recovered and met Ye Tong, finding his true love.

  As for the girl in his unit who made his heart skip a beat for the first time, she became one of his memories.

  "Yè Tóng, quickly bring some fruit to entertain Miss Ouyang! Come, Miss Ouyang, please take a seat." Zhang Jianhua quickly broke free from his memories.

  "Uncle, aunt, don't be polite! You sit down too."

  Ye Tong took out a fruit from the kitchen and sat down beside Ouyang Qiushi, picked up a red apple and started peeling it.

  "Miss Ouyang, has Zhang Hang ever bullied you in the past? Tell me, I'll take care of it for you!" He said, handing her a sliced apple.

  She really likes this future daughter-in-law so much that Zhang Mu's arm has already begun to bend outward.

  The relationship between people really depends on fate, some people can become close friends after the first exchange of eyes; some people may not be able to become intimate friends even if they study and work together for decades.

  Obviously, Zhang Mu belongs to the same category as Ouyang Qiushi.

  "Thank you, Auntie!"

  Ouyang Qiushui hurriedly stretched out his hand to receive the thanks:

  "That's not necessary, Zhang Hang has been very good to me!"

  When thinking of Zhang Hang begging for mercy with a painful expression in her "Shaolin Dragon Claw Hand", Ouyang Qiushui couldn't help but want to laugh.

  "Right! How could I bully her? How dare I bully her? How can I bear to bully her?" Zhang Hang is a mute eating bitter lotus, with grievances that cannot be expressed.

  "It's fine if you know!"; There was a hint in her son's words, and Zhang Mu wouldn't be able to hear it. She glared at this precious son of hers, warning him to be mindful: "Don't mind him, come Autumn Water, let's chat."

  It's clear that a united front has been formed, and it seems that Zhang Hang will have no choice but to swallow his pride from now on.

  "Dad, there are more white hairs and wrinkles on your forehead. Don't worry too much about the company's affairs, just let them handle it, your health is what matters most." Zhang Hang said, looking at Zhang Jianhua's forehead.

  "I know. Now, most of the things I don't need to ask in person, and I don't have the time or energy, as long as the overall direction is right." Zhang's father sighed: "Time waits for no man!"

  "That's good. Where is Grandpa?"

  "Ever since you went to military school, your grandfather has been out of habit! Before, there was this lively treasure accompanying him, now that you're not at home, he goes to visit his old comrades every now and then, and will be back in three to five days."

  "Autumn water, you all continue chatting, I'll go cook first."

  "Auntie, I'm going too!" After saying that, she pulled Ye Tong's arm and entered the kitchen.

  Although Ou Yang Qiushui was born into a high-ranking official's family, she wasn't spoiled at all. She had been very independent since childhood, which is similar to Zhang Hang.

  Ouyang Qiushui washed and chopped the vegetables, stir-fried them, and everything was done neatly and efficiently. With her help, a sumptuous lunch was ready in no time.

  "Dinner's ready!" Zhang's mother said happily.

  The two old men sitting on the sofa finally stood up.

  "Wow, it's so sumptuous. The color of the dishes is also good, and the aroma is overwhelming, I wonder how it tastes?"

  Zhang Hang picked up a mouthful and sent it into his mouth: "Not bad, 95 points! Who made it?"

  "Some of these were made by Qiushui, I never thought Qiushui could enter the kitchen and come out into the hall, you, really don't know what kind of good fortune you have accumulated over several lifetimes!" Zhang Mu said with admiration.

  "She is your daughter-in-law, what else are you envious of?" Zhang Hang replied.

  "Right, right!" Zhang's mother smiled even more brightly.

  "Where, Auntie is overpraising." Ouyang Qiushui said, glared at Zhang Hang and continued: "According to the physical constitution of our nation, scientists have concluded that the best dietary method for Chinese people is: eat a good breakfast, focus on nutrition; eat a full lunch, focus on quantity; eat less dinner, focus on quality. But in real life, we often rush through breakfast and don't even eat it; have a mediocre lunch; and overeat at night."

  "It's really hard to tell, but Qiu Shui is quite knowledgeable and talented too!" Zhang Mu praised.

  "Where, Auntie you're overpraising again."

  Ouyang Qiushui's face slightly reddened as she continued to say: "Uncle, this stir-fried pork with garlic can promote blood circulation in the body, eliminate physical fatigue, and strengthen one's physique. Uncle, please have some more!"

  "Oh, thank you! Then I'll have some more. Autumn water, come and eat too."

  "Aunt, this dish of chicken and chestnuts has the effect of nourishing the blood and body, come eat a few more pieces." Ouyang Qiushui picked up a large piece of chicken and chestnuts and put it into Ye Tong's bowl.

  "Autumn water, you eat too!"

  "Uh-huh, okay."

  "Next time I'll make a carp tofu soup, which has the effect of supplementing calcium and can prevent many bone diseases; there's another dish that must be made, that is sesame fried kelp, Auntie you must eat more of it because it has beauty and anti-aging effects."

  "Good! Good! I'll definitely eat more!" Zhang Mu nodded repeatedly and said that when it comes to beauty, which woman wouldn't be moved.

  This lunch was eaten very happily, Ou Yang Qiu Shui is clever and witty, able to talk and express himself, the atmosphere is extremely harmonious.

  The two elders were incredibly fond of her, and this attitude made Zhang Hang seem like an outsider.

  "Please, I'm your son! Don't act like I don't exist!" Zhang Hang's face turned bitter.

  "We know, eat your meal." The old couple casually responded to Zhang Hang and immediately changed the subject: "Come on, Qiushui, you also have some more."

  "Ah, okay!"

  It's all over, his own united front that had been built up over the years was thoroughly breached. From now on, he really would have to act according to Ou Yang Qiu Shui's mood! His parents were also like this, so easily pulled over by her, Zhang Hang thought while eating.

  Hmph! Even if you're Ouyang Qiushui, you'll still fall under the spell of my masculine charm.

  This kid is so narcissistic! He didn't even think about how he was the one who fell for her at first, and now he's acting like he never looked back! What happened to his "I don't look back" attitude?!
