Before deciding to go to Mageta's house, Helen made a phone call to her family to give advance notice.

The person who answered the phone was Mageta's mother, who was overjoyed to learn that Wendell was also coming.

The two old men were extremely satisfied with Wendell, their son-in-law-to-be, who comes from a family but does not have the pomp and circumstance of a family's son. Later, the two old men listened to Helen's introduction of Wendell's upbringing and were immediately overwhelmed with emotion.

It is said that poor people's children become a family early, and Wendell is a typical example of this.

For such an outstanding son-in-law-to-be, the two elders naturally couldn't be more satisfied, so early in the morning, Mageta's mother woke up and went to the vegetable market to buy food, so as to prepare a sumptuous lunch for Wendell and her daughter.

In response to his wife's enthusiasm, Boris, who was mellow by nature, just watched with a smile on his face, and if he saw that his wife was too busy for him, he followed along beside him to give a hand.

"Old Mageta, help me clean this fish." Mother Mageta handed the fish she had just bought to her husband, "Remember to be careful not to break the guts, otherwise the whole fish will be too bitter to eat, Len len and Wendell are still officially coming to the house for the first time, we can't let them eat bitter fish!"

"Good, don't worry, it's not like you don't know my cooking skills, huh……" Boris smiled and couldn't help but shake his head slightly as he took the fish from his wife's hand.

Boris used to work in a restaurant when he was young and followed the master chef, so he had some attainments in cooking, and generally the more difficult food, Mageta's mother would leave it to him to handle.

"It's not often that you get a chance to show off your cooking skills, why don't you cook today's meal and I'll give you a hand?" Mageta's mother said with a smile.

Boris smiled and nodded, "That's fine, I'll do it."

The old couple talked in a slow voice as they handled the various foods.

Looking at his wife's busy figure and her slightly graying temples, Boris smiled, his daughter had grown up and it was time for her to get married……

Moreover, the prospective son-in-law was still a nice young man, Boris was satisfied in his heart, but he felt that he and his wife were really old.

The lady's eyebrows could still show the delicate shadow of that year.

"The years have not been kind to us!" Boris couldn't help but lament, "In the blink of an eye, his daughter already has a boyfriend……"

"What, feel old?" Mageta's mother asked with a smile.

"Oh, old is old, anyway, in the future, I have a daughter to be filial and a son-in-law who is not bad, so I have nothing to worry about." Boris laughed mellowly, "If I were to really worry, there would only be the company left, after so many years of work, it's time to hand it over to my daughter."

After decades of hard work and hardship, Boris's heart would inevitably feel a little empty when he thought that he was growing old and would one day hand over the company to his daughter.

"You, you just can't stay idle." Mageta's mother complained, "You've been working hard for this family for years, it's time to take a break."

Boris smiled mellowly, but did not answer the question.

Mageta mother was about to say something else when the doorbell rang, her eyes immediately lit up, "It must be Len len and Wendell coming, I'll go and open the door, old man, you hurry up and deal with it!"

Wendell should have come to the Mageta family a long time ago, it was just the first time he officially came to the house, so naturally he wouldn't come empty handed, so Wendell drove around to a nearby supermarket again and bought some gifts.

"Hello auntie, Helen and I came to see you!" Wendell said to Mother Mageta with a smile on his face.

"Good! Good!" Mother Mageta couldn't stop smiling, wiped her hands on her apron and was about to pick up the things in Wendell's hand, "You kid, just come here, what else do you need to carry, come in."

"Auntie, it's better for me to do it." Of course Wendell couldn't let Mother Mageta carry the things, he smilingly carried the gifts into the Mageta family's villa, only to find Boris busy in the kitchen.

"Dad, you're cooking today?" Helen smilingly ran to the kitchen, grabbed Boris's neck and said as if pampered, "I like eating dad's pickled fish the most, today I'm blessed with a mouthful!"

"You girl, Wendell is still here and you have no sense of decency, go and keep Wendell company in the living room, daddy will be finished here!" Boris doted on his daughter, otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to her affair with Larry in the first place because of her insistence.

Fortunately, his daughter had come to her senses, otherwise, Boris would really not be at ease for the rest of his life.

Helen naturally knew how much her father loved her, she smiled cheekily and said, "It's alright, he talks very little and doesn't need company, I'd better stay with daddy, I haven't seen him for many days!"

At this time, Mageta's mother also walked in and scolded with a smile, "You girl, hurry up and go out to talk with Wendell, let him sit there alone, how uncomfortable he is!"

Helen spat out her tongue and quickly ran out.

Wendell was really not uncomfortable, with his nature, no matter where he was, he could be as steady as a mountain, even if he came to his future father-in-law and mother-in-law's house, the same was true.

At this moment, he was looking at several paintings hanging on the wall of the Mageta family villa. 1 was the famous Eight Stallions, although it was only eight horses, it had the momentum of ten thousand horses galloping, and hanging in the living room, it had a kind of inspiring mood.

The other is a painting of a fierce tiger descending from a mountain. The fierce tiger on it is as vivid as life, and the kind of aura of a king is indeed a secret admiration.

"It seems that when Helen's father was young, he must have had great ambitions!" Wendell secretly thought, from the painting to the person, through these two paintings one could see that Boris should have struggled with ambition in the beginning, before he created such a company with his bare hands.

For people who struggled, Wendell always admired them more.

"What are you looking at?" Helen asked with a smile as she came behind Wendell at some point.

Wendell pointed at the wall and smiled, "These two paintings are very imposing, no wonder uncle was able to create a company of no small size."

Helen nodded and said, "Yes, my father likes these two paintings the most, he often said that in order to succeed, not only do you need to have the grandeur of the king of a hundred animals, but you also need to have the spirit of a stallion that dares to struggle and endure hardship."

"What does a steed have to do with struggling and suffering?" Wendell was a little confused, the aura of a king, this was good to understand, but, usually when talking about suffering, didn't they use the old ox as a metaphor?

Helen gave him a white glance and pouted, "You ah…… haven't you ever heard, whether it is a good running stallion or not, as long as the master doesn't pull the reins, even if it is one running to death, it will never stop, this is its spirit!"

Wendell suddenly dawned on him, this was something he had heard of, you could often see it on TV, in ancient times, in situations like the hundreds of miles expedition, many times the horses would be run to death.

"That's a long insight!" Wendell smiled faintly.

Helen gave him a blank look and couldn't help but say again, "Little rascal, I want to hire a nanny for my parents, what do you think?"

"Of course it's good!" Wendell immediately nodded and said approvingly, "Uncle and aunt are gradually getting older, and you can't be home every day, it's time to need a nanny to take care of the two elders."

"Yes." Helen's nose was a little sour, "I just saw today that my mum's temples are a little gray and the wrinkles on her face have increased, and my dad's waist is gradually getting a little rickety…… they're all getting old."

Watching their children grow up gradually is the most joyful thing for parents. However, watching their parents grow old gradually is the most heartbreaking thing for their children.

Wendell patted Helen's small hand, but his heart could not help but think of his parents.

My father had been working all day long, so I guess his hair was going grey, right? If it wasn't for the fact that he had to dye his hair black often because he had to pay attention to his image and not give the impression of being dying, I'm afraid that he would be able to see white hair now.

And mother, how much she suffered in the past in order to bring herself up……

Wendell shook his head slightly and smiled, "Then hire a nanny, but discuss it with aunts and uncles beforehand."

"Well, we'll talk about it later at dinner!" Helen suddenly smiled flirtatiously, Wendell was able to understand her, which made anything make her happy.

Soon, Boris and his wife made the meal, Boris's handicraft was indeed good, the taste was all pure, no wonder Helen said that Boris had once worked in a restaurant.

During the meal, Helen brought up the matter of hiring a nanny.

Boris deliberated for a moment and nodded, "Then let's hire one, your mother is too old, indeed she can't work too hard."

Mageta's mother didn't object either, being older did make her feel a bit overwhelmed.

"Dang!"

As a few people were talking, Boris's mobile phone suddenly rang, he smiled, "It's from the company, there might be something going on."

Both Mother Mageta and Helen seemed to have gotten used to Boris's busy schedule, both shook their heads helplessly and gestured for Wendell to continue eating, Helen even gently gave Wendell a dish.

"What? The Drug Administration sealed off our warehouse?! Why?" Boris's voice suddenly got louder, "Don't we all have formal approvals and perfect procedures? And there are also certificates and shipping documents issued by the manufacturer, how come it was sealed just like that?!"

Wendell, who was eating, was stunned and stopped moving at the same time to look at Boris.

The person on the phone didn't know what he had said to Boris, causing him to turn red with anger: "This is outrageous, for no reason, not even a reason, why should they seal our warehouse? What an outrage!"

……

"Don't make any moves for now, I'll be right there!" Boris said and hung up the phone, "Wendell, you guys eat first, I have to go out for something."

Mageta's mother immediately asked, "Is there something wrong with the company?"

Boris nodded and said as he packed up his things, "A call came from the company just now, people from the Drug Administration suddenly came to the company and sealed the company's drug warehouse. There were more than a dozen hospitals that needed goods today, but now that they've been sealed, it's too late to deliver."

"Sealed the warehouse? What's the reason?" Wendell asked with a frown.

Boris shook his head, "It was said that a report was received that there were counterfeit and substandard medicines in our company, and they had to be sealed first and then inspected!"

"Ridiculous!" Wendell snorted coldly.
