Chapter 956: Chapter 938: The Two Families Finally Meet! (Part 1)
Finally arrived at Sangzhi’s house!
Seeing Pu Sangzhi and her family of three waiting at the door, the entire Huo family was extremely excited!
As the car slowly approached Pu Sangzhi’s house, inside the car, Huo Feng was already drooling at the sight of Pu Sangzhi over there.
Of course, as they got closer to parking, Huo Mingshan also felt a bit nervous...
"Meeting the in-laws for the first time in my life, I’m really a bit nervous... Honey, can you check if my clothes are neat?"
Huo Mingshan uttered with a sigh, turning his head to look at Shen Yu next to him...
He took a look and was startled!
In the passenger seat, Shen Yu was grinning into a small mirror, busy putting on lipstick...
"Hey, don’t just care about yourself, check my appearance too!"
Huo Mingshan said a bit anxiously, "We’re about to get out of the car~"
Shen Yu said, "Let Huo Feng check for you."
Huo Mingshan turned to ask Huo Feng again, "Huo Feng, how’s my wig looking?"
The result...
Another look, another shock!
In the back seat, Huo Feng was also holding a small mirror, one hand busy fiddling with his bangs, checking himself from all angles!
"You two really are... related by blood!"
Huo Mingshan couldn’t help but exclaim.
After a while, the car finally stopped at Pu Sangzhi’s doorstep...
Huo Mingshan quickly snatched the mirror from Huo Feng’s hand and checked his wig, adjusting it a bit.
By that time, Huo Feng had already opened the car door and stepped out...
At the entrance, Pu Sangzhi and her parents’ eyes were completely fixed on the Huo family’s car.
Pu Wenhua kindly offered, "I’ll go help them with their luggage."
Chen Huifen followed Pu Wenhua, and naturally, Pu Sangzhi followed along.
To be honest, the Huo family was nervous inside the car, and the Pu family was quite nervous standing outside the car...
Huo Feng was the first to get out of the car. He was wearing a long black wool coat, with a scarf knitted by Pu Sangzhi wrapped around his neck. The sweater he wore inside was also knitted by her, and the gloves he wore were bought by her.
In the snowy white field, dressed in black, Huo Feng stood there, hands casually tucked in his pockets, trying to maintain a cool demeanor without appearing overly enthusiastic or childish...
Then, he took a graceful step towards Pu Sangzhi...
"Whoosh——"
Suddenly, he slipped, lost his balance, and fell into the thick snow!
"Hey..."
Pu Sangzhi was startled by him and cautiously made her way over in big steps.
The snowy ground was indeed slippery on this snowy day!
Moreover, snowflakes were still falling from the sky. Although the snow in front of her house was shoveled this morning, more had piled up now, so one had to be careful while walking!
As Pu Sangzhi approached Huo Feng, at that moment, Huo Feng was clumsily trying to get up, with one hand pressed into the thick snow. It was truly an odd sensation!
"Huo Feng, give me your hand..."
Pu Sangzhi extended a hand to him. Huo Feng hurriedly took her hand, borrowed a bit of strength from her, but mostly relied on his own to get up.
Pu Sangzhi patted the snow off his back and clothes. Once finished, she finally met Huo Feng’s gaze.
Not having seen each other for a long time, both missed each other dearly, and their gaze at one another was filled with intensity!
If it weren’t for Pu Sangzhi’s father being present, Huo Feng would have definitely hugged Pu Sangzhi right there! A tight hug!
"Did it hurt when you fell?" Pu Sangzhi asked him.
Just after asking, there came another "whoosh" sound, accompanied by Huo Mingshan’s cry, "Ouch!"
Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng looked over to the other side. Although the car blocked their view, they could hear the concerned and hurried voices of several adults.
"Careful, careful..." was Pu Wenhua’s voice.
"How did you fall... Be careful..." was Shen Yu’s voice.
"Slowly, slowly, it’s slippery in the snow, everyone be careful!" That was Chen Huifen’s voice.
After listening, both Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng knew... Huo Mingshan had fallen!
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree...
Huo Feng had just slipped and landed on his butt, while Huo Mingshan had a full-on faceplant; both father and son had to be embarrassingly helped up, making their initial impression a total disaster!
"I’m fine, really, it’s nothing... just a small fall..."
Huo Mingshan smiled at them and said, "It’s really nothing, don’t mind me..."
Pu Sangzhi held Huo Feng’s hand, and the two cautiously walked to the trunk, where Huo Feng opened it and took out two large suitcases.
At that moment, Huo Mingshan also came over, followed by Pu Wenhua...
"Uncle."
Huo Feng nodded to Pu Wenhua, greeting him immediately.
"Hello."
Pu Wenhua nodded politely to Huo Feng, and while Huo Feng was taking the suitcases, Pu Wenhua’s gaze lingered on him for a good while...
This kid, he really does seem to have matured.
Just from his appearance, Pu Wenhua thought he had certainly grown up.
He seemed taller and sturdier than the last time he saw him a few years ago, his clothes were quite stylish, and his demeanor had changed from previous years.
All in all, he’s matured!
Pu Sangzhi was also silently observing Pu Wenhua’s gaze at Huo Feng. She didn’t see any negative expression on Pu Wenhua’s face, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief...
Two large suitcases and a small luggage bag were taken from the trunk, which was the luggage of Huo Feng’s family of three.
Huo Feng carried the two large suitcases, one in each hand, while Huo Mingshan took the small luggage bag. Pu Wenhua also reached out his hand and said, "Let me carry one too."
"No need, Uncle, let’s hurry indoors, it’s cold." Huo Feng declined.
Normally, in such situations, they would politely decline a few rounds, but upon hearing Huo Feng mention the cold, Pu Wenhua didn’t waste any more time and quickly turned to welcome them, saying, "Let’s go inside, the ground is slippery, be careful when walking."
Huo Feng and Huo Mingshan dared not walk too nonchalantly, after all, they had just slipped a moment ago...
This kind of meeting was definitely not what they had imagined in their minds, and they still didn’t dare to recall it because they felt embarrassed.
From the icy outdoors to the warmth indoors, the heating in the northern house was indeed a pleasant surprise!
Once inside, the temperature in the entire house was just perfect! But there wasn’t a hint of cold!
Huo Mingshan let out a comfortable sigh, "Ah, this temperature is just great."
"Haha, the house here has heating on."
Pu Wenhua said with a laugh, "In winter here, you either have a stove or turn on the heating, otherwise with this icy and snowy environment, it’s unbearable."
"Right, right, this is what winter in the north is like."
Huo Mingshan nodded in agreement, "No wonder this guy Huo Feng hid in the room with the air conditioning on every day after coming back from Beijing, it was because he got used to the heating in the north."
Chen Huifen, holding Shen Yu’s hand, walked into the house with Shen Yu, and warmly said, "You rushed all the way here by car, you probably haven’t had dinner yet, right? We made dumplings this afternoon, we’ll cook them right away."
On the road, their family of three indeed kept driving.
Since they were getting closer to their destination, they didn’t stop at the service areas to rest and eat, so they really hadn’t had dinner yet.
Huo Feng was sending messages to Pu Sangzhi while on the road, telling her that their family of three wasn’t having dinner, just to arrive earlier.
Pu Sangzhi told this to Pu Wenhua and Chen Huifen, so their family of three also didn’t have dinner, they just had some snacks to fill their stomachs, waiting to eat with Huo Feng’s family of three.
At home, Chen Yu and Chen Huifen went into the kitchen.
Pu Wenhua and Pu Sangzhi led Huo Feng and his father upstairs to arrange their rooms.
The house had only four rooms, and since Ye Xi had quietly left yesterday, one room was now available, just right for Huo Feng’s family of three.
Huo Mingshan and Shen Yu stayed in the room with a balcony that Ye Xi had previously used, while Huo Feng slept in the room next to Pu Sangzhi, and that’s how it was settled.
Pu Wenhua led Huo Mingshan to his room and explained a bit embarrassedly, "In this village, we only have these kinds of houses, not high-rise apartments, I hope you don’t mind."
"Not at all, not at all, we’ve already caused trouble by imposing, and it’s great to be welcomed. Besides, this house is wonderful, much better than the high-rise apartments! It seems spacious and comfortable~"
Huo Mingshan put his hands on his hips, looking around the room, while chatting he added a sentence, "I just don’t know how I should address you?"
Titles were indeed a major issue...
Because the two children hadn’t really reached the age of engagement, calling each other ’in-laws’ didn’t feel appropriate.
Huo Mingshan didn’t even know if Pu Wenhua thought well of his son!
Huo Mingshan had been pondering this issue since they got out of the car, and finally found a chance to ask!
"Haha..."
Pu Wenhua chuckled awkwardly, extending his hand to Huo Mingshan, "My name is Pu Wenhua, you can call me Wenhua."
"I am Huo Mingshan."
Huo Mingshan quickly extended his hand to shake, "You... you can call me Old Huo, my son and wife call me that."
"Haha..."
Pu Wenhua awkwardly chuckled again, "You can call me Old Pu."
The atmosphere... was indeed a bit awkward!
