Because they had also heard of Lin Qingyan's reputation, she not only developed a special hemostatic drug and donated it to the army free of charge, but she was also received by the leader.

The two of them stared at Lin Qingyan in disbelief, never imagining that she would be their sister.

Dong Bonian saw the two of them looking blank and asked, "What's wrong? Have you turned into robots?"

"We, we all know about Comrade Lin's deeds, we just can't believe that Comrade Lin is our cousin," Dong An said foolishly.

They thought their cousin was just an ordinary girl, and that she would at least be better off than before after returning to the Dong family. They never expected that the Dong family had actually climbed the social ladder.

Dong Bonian immediately slapped Dong An on the head: "What Comrade Lin? That's your cousin, and also your own sister."

"I know, I know." Dong An covered his head, which was throbbing from the blow. "Dad, I'm an engineer, after all. Don't hit my head like that."

Even if you become a Grand Tutor, I can still hit you on the head.

Dong Ping, the eldest of the three brothers, is also the most composed.

He walked up to Lin Qingyan, took out an envelope, and handed it to her: "Qingyan, I know you may not be short of money, but this is from your older brother, you can't refuse it."

Lin Qingyan simply couldn't refuse this straightforward and direct way of recognizing relatives.

He took the envelope and said, "Thank you, brother."

Dong An noticed that Dong Ping's gift to Lin Qingyan was the same as his own, but besides money, he didn't know what else to give Lin Qingyan.

So he went over and handed another envelope to Lin Qingyan.

"Qingyan, your second brother is a rough man and doesn't know what you girls like, so I haven't prepared any special gifts. This is all I have, please take it."

"Thank you, Second Brother." Lin Qingyan took the money.

Kawashima Yoshiko, who was standing next to Dong Ping and Dong An for the first time, began to plot in her mind how to seduce them.

In particular, when she saw Dong Ping, who was handsome and had a calm demeanor, she was immediately attracted to him. Her heart was pounding, and she couldn't help but want to get closer to him, even if she had to put aside her mission.

Grandpa Dong said, "Qingyan and Zhengting are going back to the military region tomorrow, and I'll go with them too. Let's have a reunion dinner at the state-run restaurant tonight."

Dong Ping and Dong An were both somewhat dissatisfied. Dong An asked, "Why is Qingyan leaving tomorrow?"

They just got back and only just saw their sister.

Grandpa Dong said, "Qingyan has been here for several days now. If she hadn't been waiting to meet the two of you, she would have left yesterday."

Lin Qingyan suggested, "Big brother, second brother, third brother, uncle and grandfather, you all gave me gifts, but I didn't prepare any for you. Why don't we go shopping at the department store? I'll buy you whatever you want."

The group was flattered upon hearing this, and Dong Ping said, "Why don't you pick out a gift for us, Qingyan, and we'll buy it ourselves?"

"Yes, the money we gave you is for you to spend yourself, not for us."

“How can that be?” Lin Qingyan said.

She gives gifts, and people spend money on them.

“Why not? This is the most reasonable way. Let’s go, let’s go to the department store now.” Dong An was the most enthusiastic.

"Alright, alright, let's go, let's go." Old Master Dong was in a great mood these past two days, full of energy, and walked ahead with his hands behind his back. Lin Qingyan caught up with him and helped him up.

"Grandpa, please slow down."

"Grandpa's fine, little girl. You have no idea how happy Grandpa has been these past few days. If you asked me to participate in a long-distance race now, I don't think I'd have any problems. Cough cough cough~"

"Dad, if you were to participate in a long-distance race in this condition, your opponents would probably be waiting for you at the finish line for two days and two nights," Dong Bonian joked.

"Shut up! How could your dad make his opponent wait for me for two days and two nights? At most, it'll be one day and one night."

They all went out, except for Dong Wenhua and Xu Xinning, who remained in the living room.

Ignoring Yoshiko Kawashima's presence, Xu Xinning complained to Dong Wenhua, "Mom, did you see that? They're family, and we're just outsiders. She just got back and she's already taken Grandpa, Uncle, and my brothers away. She's so mean! Grandpa, Uncle, and my brothers won't talk to me anymore."

Dong Wenhua wiped away her daughter's tears, "Xinning, she's all alone, just the two of us, mother and daughter. Let's think of another way."

Kawashima Yoshiko overheard their conversation and knew that the two of them must have some kind of grudge against the Dong family. She wondered if she could use this to her advantage.

Dong Wenhua then remembered that everyone else had given Lin Qingyan a gift, but she hadn't.

It's not that I don't understand manners, it's that I don't really want to give it to them.

She might be able to tell Lin Qingyan some lies to coax her, but there's absolutely no way she'd give money to that girl. She'd rather spend her own money on her daughter.

When Grandpa Dong went outside, he didn't see Xu Xinning and Dong Wenhua come out. In the past, they would automatically follow him when he went out. So he called Dong Yue: "Go back and call your aunt and Xiao Ning, and ask them to come with us."

"good."

Dong Yue returned to the living room and called to Dong Wenhua and Xu Xinning, "Auntie, Xinning, Grandpa asked me to come back and call you to go together."

Dong Wenhua replied coldly, "I'm not feeling well, I'm not going."

Xu Xinning naturally didn't want to go either: "I'll stay home with my mom, you guys go ahead."

"Okay." Seeing their pale faces, Dong Yue suddenly remembered something, so he didn't insist and turned to leave.

After he reported to Grandpa Dong, Grandpa Dong didn't think much of it and said, "If they're not going, let's go."

The group arrived at the mall. Lin Qingyan first picked out clothes for Mr. Dong, and after choosing them, she rushed to pay for them.

“This is a gift for my grandfather, so I have to pay for it myself.”

Grandpa Dong was all smiles, he couldn't have been more satisfied.

The others all wanted clothes. Lin Qingyan picked out clothes for them, and they all rushed to pay for them themselves, determined not to let Lin Qingyan take any money.

After shopping, they went home to rest for a while and then decided to go to a state-run restaurant.

This time, the old man personally invited Dong Wenhua and Xu Xinning, who knew that eating there would be like chewing wax. However, they didn't want to give the old man a hard time, so they both went along.

After ordering, Lu Zhengting paid the bill. After the meal, Lin Qingyan returned to the Dong family home, while Lu Zhengting returned to the Lu family home. However, the young man secretly sneaked back home again that night.

Because Grandpa Dong was going to the military region with Lin Qingyan, Lin Qingyan helped Grandpa Dong pack his luggage after they returned home.

Dong Yue and Xu Xinning are also going together. Dong Bonian booked five sleeper train tickets for them for tomorrow morning. Lin Qingyan and Lu Zhengting's travel expenses will be reimbursed by the military. Their train tickets can be reimbursed by the logistics department after they arrive at the military base.

The next morning, they went to the train station and boarded the train back to the military region.
