Chapter 134 Trust My Judgment
Grandpa Yue was carrying a bowl of washed berries when he saw his grandson return before he even stepped out the door. Accompanying his grandson was a male.
He immediately widened his eyes in surprise, then a smile appeared on his lips as he called out to his partner, "Yue is back! Go and greet her!"
Grandpa Yue didn't even look up: "Yue isn't an outsider, there's no need to greet her. The cassava cakes are ready. Oh, are the fruits washed yet? Yue has loved eating those since she was little."
The moon was getting closer and closer to home. The moon's great-uncle whispered, "The moon brought a male back. You're still working."
This time, Grandpa Yue stopped frying cassava pancakes with his head down and quickly looked up. Sure enough, he saw that his grandson had brought back a male, a male he recognized.
Ling from the Gaoshu tribe, the orc who came to the tribe with Yue last time.
*
Having lived two lives, this was the first time Bai Ling had ever faced such a scene.
He followed Yue and politely greeted Yue's grandfather and great-uncle: "Hello, Grandpa. Hello, Great-Uncle."
Grandpa Yue and great-uncle looked Bai Ling up and down before smiling and saying, "Yes, you must be Ling. Please sit down for a while; the food will be ready soon."
Yue wanted to help with the cooking, but her great-uncle stopped her: "Yue, you can just talk to Ling here. The food will be ready soon."
In the orc world, there are no tables and chairs. There are a few blue stones in front of Yue's grandfather's house, and they usually sit on the stones to eat.
Yue and Bai Ling sat on two blue stones. Bai Ling winked at Yue and whispered, "Yue, what should I say later?"
Yue also whispered, "Say what you need to say. If you don't want to talk, just keep your head down and eat."
Bai Ling: "That won't do. It will leave a bad impression on your grandfather and great-grandfather."
The elders of the month are one's own elders. It is already very impolite to visit without bringing a gift on the first visit. If one only knows how to eat and doesn't say anything, then it is even more impolite.
It will definitely leave a bad impression.
Yue smiled gently, his eyes crinkling, seemingly unconcerned that Bai Ling wouldn't be liked by his grandfather and great-grandfather: "No, the person I bring back will definitely be liked by my grandfather and great-grandfather."
Bai Ling understood Yue's meaning in an instant.
Yue's grandfather and great-uncle both loved him very much. Because they loved him, they would also like anyone Yue liked.
*
Yue's great-uncle brought over a bowl of berries. These berries were only the size of a fingernail, deep red in color, and usually grew in forests. They tasted sweet and sour, and Bai Ling knew that Yue loved to eat them.
Yue took the ceramic bowl from her great-uncle and said in a coquettish tone, "Thank you, great-uncle. These fruits taste better here in the Dahe Tribe. The fruits in the Gaoshu Tribe aren't as sweet."
Yue's great-uncle said, "Eat more, there's still plenty at home. Knowing you were coming, your grandpa and I picked a lot."
He also invited Bai Ling to eat with him: "Ling, you should try some too. The fruit here is sweeter than that of the Dahe tribe."
Yue pinched a few fruits and handed them to her great-uncle, then pinched two more fruits and handed them to Bai Ling.
Bai Ling quickly said, "Thank you, Grandpa."
The little grandfather's smile widened.
Yue's eyes narrowed slightly: "Ling, you should try it, this fruit is really delicious."
This fruit tastes a bit like blueberries; the skin breaks easily with a gentle bite. It's sweeter than blueberries and has a slight tartness, making it quite delicious.
This fruit also exists in the Gaoshu tribe, but it's not as sweet as the fruit here. Bai Ling ate two fruits, and her mouth was filled with a faint sweet and sour taste.
Yue's great-uncle went off to work again, and Bai Ling asked in a low voice, "Yue, do you want me to go help?"
Yue shook her head: "No need, you can bring the food up later."
*
During the meal, Yue's grandfather and great-uncle kept secretly observing Bai Ling. Bai Ling was extremely nervous. He kept his smile at the most polite angle, even while chewing.
This caused some soreness in the muscles around Bai Ling's mouth.
However, in order to leave a good impression on Yue's grandfather and great-uncle, Bai Ling tried her best to appear calm and composed.
Grandpa Yue and his great-uncle didn't ask Bai Ling any questions, not even about his family situation. The two old men just kept urging Bai Ling to eat more, as if their grandson had just brought an ordinary friend home for dinner.
This relieved Bai Ling, but also left her somewhat puzzled.
Based on his life experience, if a younger generation brings their life partner home, the elders in the family will definitely take the opportunity of a meal to ask them questions carefully, at least to find out about the family situation of the visitor. Why didn't Yue's grandfather and great-uncle ask anything?
A deep sense of worry welled up in Bai Ling's heart. Could it be that they didn't take a liking to her? Because they didn't take a liking to her, that's why they weren't curious or asking about her.
Bai Ling's smile froze, and the food in her mouth suddenly tasted bitter.
This thought only flashed through Bai Ling's mind for a moment before he suppressed it. Yue had said that as long as it was someone he chose, his grandfather and great-grandfather would definitely like them. The fact that the two old men didn't ask him questions was probably because they completely trusted their grandson and had no doubts about him.
After finishing their meal, Bai Ling and Yue cleaned up the dishes. As they were about to wash the dishes, Yue's great-uncle stopped them, saying, "Yue, Ling, why don't you go out and play? The Chada Conference is about to begin. Why don't you go and have a look around?"
Bai Ling gave a polite smile: "Grandpa, let me wash the dishes. Yue, you stay here and keep Grandpa company. I'll be done soon."
Moon: "Let's wash together."
The two went to wash the dishes together. Yue's grandfather and great-uncle smiled at each other, but in the end, the two old men didn't say anything and went to pack their things.
*
Bai Ling was in charge of washing the dishes, and Yue was in charge of stacking the dishes he had washed together.
Bai Ling looked around. Yue's grandfather and great-uncle were both inside. He asked in a low voice, "Yue, do your grandfather and great-uncle have any issues with me?"
Yue didn't know why Bai Ling thought that way. He said directly, "No, I said that as long as I bring someone back, Grandpa and Great-Grandpa will definitely like them."
Bai Ling continued, "But I heard from others that when a female brings a male home, the elders in the family will ask all sorts of questions, as if they want to find out everything about her ancestors."
Yue glanced at Bai Ling and said, "Because Grandpa and Great-Grandpa both trust my judgment."
Bringing you back proves that I have chosen you as my future partner. Grandpa and great-uncle trust my judgment, which is why they don't ask so many questions.
