Reborn, I choose to register my marriage with the diva.

Chapter 477 I've always remembered it!

I've always remembered Chapter 477!

After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, a bottle of coconut juice was completely empty, standing bare on the table.

Grandpa Yu took a small sip of wine, and his eyes were slightly sleepy from staying up late last night.

Even so, they were invigorated and began to recall the hardships of the past, appreciating how hard-won their current life was.

"Back in the day, when I was working in the production team, I had to get out of my warm bed before dawn every day and go out to work. I would trudge through the mud and shallow water to the fields and work until sunset. By the end of the day, my bones felt like they were falling apart, and I was so tired that I didn't even have the strength to speak. When I got home, I couldn't rest. I could only read books and do exercises by the dim light of the kerosene lamp—it was truly studying late into the night!"

The old man's eyes were filled with deep reminiscence and emotion, and his voice, tinged with a sense of vicissitude, slowly continued:

"During the busy farming season, life was even more unbearable. The livestock could take turns resting, but we workers couldn't stop for a moment. It was truly a case of 'the oxen rest, but the people don't!' At night, everyone would work in the fields by the faint moonlight, racing against time. Mosquitoes buzzed in our ears, and we were constantly bitten, leaving our bodies covered in itchy and painful red welts. But no one cared about any of that. We only had one thought in our minds: to finish the work as quickly as possible, earn more work points, and make sure our families could eat well."

Old Yu sat to the side, his cheeks flushed from the alcohol, his eyes slightly narrowed, a hint of dazedness in them, looking slightly tipsy.

He listened very attentively, nodding from time to time, as if he deeply understood the old man's words.

After the old man finished speaking, he chimed in, "Yes, Dad, I remember when I was little, our family rarely ate meat all year round. Back then, the thing we looked forward to the most was the New Year. During the New Year, the table was full of chicken, duck, fish, and meat. We could eat as much as we wanted, and I felt that was the greatest happiness in the world."

Grandpa Yu turned his head, looking at his son with gentle eyes, and said, "Though life was tough back then, the whole family worked together and supported each other, overcoming every obstacle step by step. Look at our lives now, compared to before, it's like heaven and earth. Just look at all these appliances in the house, and the cell phones in your hands—we wouldn't have dared to dream of these before! In the past, communication relied on writing letters, and you'd have to wait a long time to receive a reply. Transportation was mainly on foot; going on a long trip meant measuring every step of the way on foot. Unlike now, you can make a video call and see people as clearly as if they were right in front of you. We have cars to ride in, and we can even take airplanes; we can go wherever we want."

Old Yu nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, I remember when we were little, we had just gotten electricity. At night, only my eldest brother's room had a tungsten bulb, and the light was very dim, barely illuminating a small area. My siblings and I would squeeze together at a small, old desk to study. That desk was the one you used when you were young, Dad."

He paused, then continued, "My eldest brother was the oldest and also the best student. He always sat closest to the light so he could explain difficult problems to us. My older brothers and sisters and I would huddle together right next to him, our heads clustered together. To get more light, we would fight over seats, none of us wanting to be in the shadows. Looking back now, it's really funny..."

Teacher Wu listened quietly, her eyes filled with emotion, and couldn't help but sigh, "The times are really developing at a rapid pace."

After finishing his "Clean Plate Campaign," Yu Huan contentedly put down his chopsticks and let out a soft burp.

He casually grabbed a tissue, wiped his mouth with it, and interjected, "Speaking of which, just like Rongrong's new song 'As You Wish' expresses, it is because of the unremitting struggle and selfless dedication of generation after generation that we have the beautiful living environment and happy days we enjoy today."

As soon as he said that, Teacher Wu became interested.

His gaze was fixed intently on Lin Yourong, and he asked with a face full of curiosity, "What new song? Yourong, when did you record a new song?"

Lin Yourong had been listening with a smile on her face, but when Teacher Wu suddenly asked her this question, she sat up slightly and replied softly, "Mom, it's a song I just finished recording recently. It's called 'As You Wish,' and it hasn't been released yet."

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Yu's face instantly lit up with a smile, his eyes narrowing into slits as he cheerfully said, "Then when this song is available on mobile phones, we'll definitely be there to support it immediately."

God knows how happy he was when he learned that his granddaughter-in-law was Lin Su, who shone brightly on "The Voice of China".

During that time, he couldn't help but want to call his grandson several times and have a serious talk with him.

But because he had left a handle on Yu Chengcheng, he had to maintain his grandfather's face in front of this clever and mischievous granddaughter. This made him feel very frustrated and anxious.

Now that the truth has finally come out, Grandpa Yu has finally felt relieved and relaxed.

He looked at Lin Yourong with eyes full of affection and said, "Yourong, when I watched you compete on TV, I always thought to myself, if this girl could become our family's granddaughter-in-law, it would truly be a blessing from my past life. Who would have thought that Huanhuan would actually be so capable as to marry you!"

No sooner had Grandpa Yu finished speaking than Old Yu couldn't help but exclaim "Wow!" with a teasing smile on his face, jokingly saying, "Dad, you really dare to think this way! I wouldn't even dare to think about it!"

Old Yu, who is usually very serious, rarely makes a joke, and Teacher Wu and Yu Huan, mother and son, burst out laughing at the same time.

Yu Huan stood up with a laugh and began clearing the table of dishes, adding smugly, "So you guys should just be happy!"

Lin Yourong was initially a little embarrassed by the compliments, but the humorous tone made her burst into laughter.

Without hesitation, she stood up, rolled up her sleeves, and prepared to help clear the table of dishes.

Teacher Wu immediately reached out and gently pressed Lin Yourong's hand down, saying in a gentle yet firm tone, "Yourong, you and Huanhuan have finally come back for a visit. How can we let you do the dishes? Huanhuan and I will do it. You just sit here quietly."

Lin Yourong blinked her bright eyes and said sincerely, "Mom, I'm not a guest. We're all family. Let me help out with some things."

Instead of letting go, Teacher Wu gripped Lin Yourong's hand even tighter.

She gently pulled Lin Yourong back to her chair.

Then, she gently patted her daughter-in-law's hand and said earnestly, "Silly child, you are so lucky to have married into our family. You work so hard outside, singing and performing, always on the go. It's rare for you to come home, so you should relax and enjoy your retirement. We are used to doing these chores, and we'll finish them in no time."

Yu Huan had already picked up a stack of bowls and chopsticks and was walking towards the kitchen door.

He walked briskly, a playful smile on his face, and half-jokingly chimed in, "Mom is just being kind to her famous daughter-in-law, she can't bear to let her do these rough and tiring jobs."

Grandpa Yu leisurely picked at his teeth with a toothpick, a kind smile on his face, and asked with a hint of curiosity, "Who usually does the housework at home? You don't eat out every day, do you?"

Yu Huan was passing by the old man when she heard this and immediately stopped. She laughed and said, "Rongrong does most of the housework. She's a great cook. She's inherited her mother-in-law's cooking skills perfectly. I just clean up the dishes and wash the utensils."

Upon hearing this, Teacher Wu immediately rolled her eyes at him: "Look at you, acting like a spoiled young master, and you still have the nerve to say that!"

Yu Huan, still holding his bowl and chopsticks, suddenly felt wronged. Just as he was about to retort, Lin Yourong spoke to him gently.

“Mom, it was the end of the year before, and he was especially busy at work. He was so busy every day that he didn’t have much time to rest when he got home. It was only right that I did more. Usually when we’re at home, we share the housework. He often sweeps and mops the floor and tidies up.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Huan's eyes instantly lit up with a broad smile. He turned to her and said, "Although I've been incredibly busy lately, I'm still very grateful to you for managing the household so well, allowing me to focus on my work without any worries."

Grandpa Yu put down the toothpick in his hand, turned slightly, and patted Yu Huan's side gently, saying earnestly, "Although work is important, family is equally important. You can't neglect the people around you because of work."

Yu Huan smiled and nodded, saying, "I know, Grandpa."

After saying that, he walked briskly towards the door.

Earlier, when Lao Yu was washing vegetables, he left a lot of water in the basin. Yu Huan casually threw the used pots and pans into the basin and squeezed in some dish soap.

After stirring a few times, rich foam instantly rose in the basin, and a cleaning process began.

Washing dishes is Yu Huan's old skill.

He squatted on the ground, using both hands to work with fluid, skillful movements. Before long, he finished, leaving the pots and pans, which were originally covered in grease, sparkling clean.

Yu Huan picked up the basin full of clean bowls and chopsticks, walked briskly to the kitchen cabinet, opened the cabinet door, and placed them inside one by one.

At this moment, Grandpa Yu and his son were standing at the door, each holding a cigarette, enjoying a moment of leisure as they puffed out smoke.

After finishing her work, Yu Huan inadvertently looked up and her gaze drifted to the tea table, where she saw the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law making tea.

Sunlight streamed through the window, falling obliquely on them like silk threads, outlining a soft and warm golden edge around them.

Even Teacher Wu exuded youthful energy, chatting and laughing with Lin Yourong.

Yu Huan was genuinely happy to see such a harmonious relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and a smile unconsciously crept onto her face.

After finishing these trivial household chores, Yu Huan did not stop.

He went straight to the storage room, and soon pushed the scooter into the yard.

The family members held their teacups, watching with great interest as Yu Huan wiped the dust off the car with a cloth, while they basked in the sun and drank tea.

Lin Yourong was completely absorbed in the moment. She lowered her head, parted her lips slightly, and gently blew on the rim of the cup. The sesame seeds and tea leaves that were originally floating on the surface of the tea soup dispersed to the side, and the clear color of the soup gradually became apparent.

She took a small sip of tea, the salty and savory flavor spreading across her tongue, making her feel completely relaxed and comfortable.

Suddenly, she heard Grandpa Yu's gentle voice ask her, "You Rong, I heard Huan Huan say you can ride a motorcycle?"

Lin Yourong was slightly taken aback and quickly put the teacup down from her lips.

She looked up at the smiling Grandpa Yu and replied softly, "Grandpa, I used to ride a bicycle for a while when I was in school, but that was many years ago. I haven't touched it in a long time, and now when I think back, I feel a little rusty."

By this time, Yu Huan had wiped the motorcycle spotless, its gleaming surface reflecting a warm glow in the sunlight.

He stood up, dusted off his hands, and with a teasing smile, jokingly picked up the conversation: "Aren't you getting out of touch? Didn't someone promise to take me for a drive? I've been keeping that in mind!"

Grandpa Yu, always adventurous, immediately perked up upon hearing this, saying, "Riding a motorcycle is just like riding a bicycle. Once you learn it, the skill is ingrained in your bones. You'll definitely get the hang of it after a little practice. Besides, this yard is quite spacious. Let's practice here first, just as a warm-up. Once we're proficient, it's not too late to go for a spin."

"This……"

Lin Yourong hesitated for a moment, then looked around the courtyard with a slightly hesitant gaze.

Seeing this, Teacher Wu immediately scolded, "Dad, You Rong said she hasn't touched a motorcycle in many years. It's the first day of the Lunar New Year... If she wants to ride a motorcycle out for a while, let Huan Huan ride it. Don't let You Rong take the risk."

Grandpa Yu waved his hand with a smile, saying nonchalantly, "It's just practicing in the yard, not going directly onto the main road. What danger could there be?"

"Never mind, Mom's right. It's the first day of the Lunar New Year, so it's better to be careful." Yu Huan said, tossing the rag into the bucket next to her.

Then, with a graceful leap, he jumped into the car.

Yu Huan gripped the handlebars firmly with one hand, steadied the bike, and gently turned the key.

In an instant, with a deep and powerful "hum," the motorcycle roared loudly, and the air in the entire yard vibrated slightly.
