Chapter 1308 This time, it was Old Master Xiao who gave the order for them to keep a low profile.

Knowing they had other things to do later, Fu's mother kept it brief: "They said they'd first set up two tables at the farm to have a meal with the two of them and their close friends who were sent to the countryside. After that, they'd take leave to go back to the city and set up two or three tables to have a get-together with their relatives."

Thinking of something, Madam Fu spoke up again: "Jiang Feng asked his aunt, and it seems he won't be able to come back before the New Year. She said his aunt's daughter-in-law is due to give birth in two months, and the round trip would take too long. The main problem is that his cousin is also in the army and is away from home most of the year. His aunt is worried that if something happens, she won't be able to explain it to her son."

Fu Yancheng nodded and said, "That's only human nature, I can understand it."

Madam Fu sighed softly and said, "It's just that we don't know whether we should invite Jiang Feng's adoptive parents or not."

Fu Yancheng said, "Let Jiang Feng decide these things himself; we don't need to interfere."

Fu's mother glared at her youngest son: "Do you think I want to interfere? I'm just afraid they'll deliberately make things difficult for Xiaowan, making her unhappy on her big day."

Chu Xue thought for a moment and said, "Then why don't we have Jiang Feng treat their family to a meal a day in advance? That way, even if there's any unpleasantness, it won't become the talk of the town."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Fu perked up considerably: "You know what, inviting them in advance makes sense, and it saves us from making a scene and being laughed at by our relatives and friends. Yes, yes, yes, that's a good idea. And inviting them in advance gives them a reason to cause trouble."

Father Fu nodded and said, "No matter what, the Ren family raised him. Although his aunt asked someone from the clan to settle things, we still have to show some respect. But ultimately, this matter depends on Jiang Feng's own wishes, so we shouldn't interfere too much."

Mrs. Fu nodded: "I know, it's because she's afraid that family will cause trouble for Xiaowan."

Chu Xue patted her mother-in-law's hand: "Xiao Wan has us. Even if the Ren family has ideas, they probably won't dare to. Mom, don't worry."

Hearing this, Fu's mother laughed and said, "Concern makes one lose their mind; I misunderstood."

Thinking of something, he quickly added, "Your sister-in-law said before that you were discussing each family buying a big item for Xiaowan. Don't even think about it. Jiang Feng's aunt prepared it when you got engaged. Just do what you want."

Fu Yancheng nodded and said, "My older brother told me."

Chu Xue thought that Duan Ruirui was, after all, her own sister-in-law, and the two of them had always been close. Since Duan Ruirui was both a friend and her sister-in-law, she would naturally give her sister-in-law an extra treat by giving her a wool coat as a congratulatory gift.

Because they had to catch their train, the two didn't stay long.

When they arrived at the Xiao family's house, everything was already prepared.

Grandpa Xiao had already made arrangements for the village's feast today, so the group traveled light. Apart from the diapers and changes of clothes for the two little ones in Xiao's father's basket, they brought Beijing pastries and a bag of fruit candies for the village secretary's family.

Chu Xue saw Xiao's mother's expression and actually wanted to laugh.

She kept saying she didn't want to bother Fu Yancheng to borrow a car anymore, but when it actually came down to him carrying their son to catch the bus, she probably felt a little resentful.

Unfortunately, this time it was Old Master Xiao who gave the order for them to keep a low profile.

They set off early enough that when they arrived at the station, there were only a few people on the train. Fu Yancheng took the initiative to buy the tickets. He saw a child carrying apricots outside the station asking passersby if they wanted some. Remembering that his wife was pregnant, he traded some with the child.

Chu Xue noticed his bulging pockets and asked, "What's in your pockets?"
