After regaining her senses, Lu Qing gave her parents a thumbs up:

"Under such pressure, you two still managed to have six kids together, that's amazing!"

Chu Panshan and Han Ziyuan exchanged a glance and both smiled helplessly.

"Actually, when we first met, we didn't even know each other's identities. Your grandparents lived on the west side of the village, and your maternal grandparents lived on the east side. Your father and I had never met each other before we went to university."

"Later, after we got together and confirmed our relationship, when our parents met, we found out that the four of them almost overturned the dinner table. That's when we found out about their affair."

Chu Panshan sighed: "Yes! But at that time, your mother and I had been together for three years. We didn't want to separate, and they were unwilling to reconcile, so we made this agreement."

"You've lived together for decades, and you have six children. Have they really never met each other even once?" Lu Qing asked, frowning.

Chu Panshan nodded: "Yes! But the day I married your mother, they were relatively peaceful and didn't fight."

“I vaguely remember that when Qingqing was just born and was taken away, they seemed to have come by. That was the only time I saw them coexist peacefully,” Han Ziyuan said.

“Over the years, my grandparents and maternal grandparents have asked from time to time if they have found Qingqing. When they learned that Qingqing had been found, they seemed quite happy. I wonder if they can reconcile because of Qingqing!” Chu Qianlan said with a smile.

Lu Qing shrank back weakly, indicating that she couldn't bear this responsibility.

How could four old men and women who have been fighting for decades possibly reconcile just because of her?

After hearing the story, Lu Qing yawned, feeling sleepy, and fell asleep with her head tilted to the side.

Gu Xicheng carefully laid Lu Qing's chair flat and then covered her with a blanket.

Seeing how thoughtful he was, Chu Panshan and Han Ziyuan both showed a hint of satisfaction.

A little over an hour later, we were almost at our destination, and the plane landed at the airport closest to home.

Besides the airport, a butler would drive up to their house, carry all their luggage upstairs, and then drive them home.

Lu Qing also woke up, gazing at the scenery along the way with great interest.

Compared to Kyoto, these small towns are much quieter and more peaceful, and the open fields along the way are very soothing to the soul.

Although it is a rural area, it has all the necessary living facilities, and there are high-rise buildings in the town. In the past, the Chu and Han families also lived in the town.

However, as the old man grew older, he no longer wanted to live in the town, so he returned to the countryside.

Chu Panshan and Han Ziyuan built a small villa for each of their parents, surrounded by a small courtyard, so that they could grow vegetables and raise chickens, ducks and geese to pass the time.

As soon as the car arrived at the village entrance, everyone saw two elderly couples standing by the roadside waiting.

Although they were standing on opposite sides of the road, they seemed to be at peace and didn't seem to be arguing, which would have been completely impossible in the past.

The car stopped, and Chu Panshan and Han Ziyuan led the children out of the car.

"Dad, Mom, what's wrong with you...?"

Before Chu Panshan could finish speaking, four old men and women rushed over and pulled Lu Qing out.

"Qingqing, you're finally home!"

"Do you recognize us? I'm your grandfather, and this is your grandmother!"

Grandpa had barely finished speaking when Grandma pushed him away.

"Get out of the way! You old geezer, this is my granddaughter!"

"Liu Xuemei, you dare push this old man? I'll kill you!"

Grandma grabbed Grandma's white hair and pulled her over.

"Wang Chunmei, why are you still as fierce as before! Let go of this old woman right now!"

Grandpa went to help, but was stopped by Grandpa.

"What are you getting involved with, you old women!"

"Han the Cripple, let me tell you, your granddaughter has to come to my house first today!"

Grandpa was furious: "Impossible! Let me tell you, you little bastard Chu, Qingqing is my granddaughter, she came from my daughter's belly, and I absolutely will not let her go to your house first!"

Grandpa sneered: "Ha~ You said it yourself, she's your granddaughter! Just because she's an 'outsider' doesn't make her any better than my legitimate grandfather!"

Grandpa immediately flew into a rage: "Who's worse than you! If you're so capable, let's have a match! Whoever wins takes Qingqing with them!"

"Let's compete! I'm not afraid of you!"

Grandpa grabbed his cane and started fighting with Grandpa.

Gradually, the two groups of people who were fighting together squeezed together, turning it into a four-person melee.

Headbands, watches, canes, and even dentures flew out.

Lu Qing was dumbfounded, and stiffly turned to ask Chu Panshan and Han Ziyuan:

"Mom and Dad, are you sure we shouldn't stop them?"

Chu Qianjue swallowed and reminded him:

"Qingqing, it's best if we don't get involved. Let's wait until they're tired before we step in, otherwise we might get caught in the crossfire."

Chu Qianmo chimed in, "That's right! We got caught in the crossfire the last time we tried to break up a fight!"

Chu Qianlin: "Don't let their age fool you, they're full of energy and can fight just as well as young people."

Lu Qing: "Um... Won't they get hurt?"

Chu Panshan sighed: "Don't worry! They know what they're doing and won't be seriously injured!"

They watched the fight for a full half hour, until Lu Qing had finished all her potato chips, before they finally stopped.

Of course, this is not a truce, but rather that we are exhausted.

"Dad, Mom, Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, have you had enough?" Chu Panshan asked helplessly.

The old man and woman glared at him:

"Let me rest for a bit. Today I'm going to settle things with these two old guys!"

"Come on! I'm not afraid of you!" Grandpa roared defiantly.

Chu Panshan sighed, rubbing his forehead.

"I was saying that you usually make the order the day before the New Year's Eve dinner, why did you do it earlier this year? We weren't prepared at all!"

"Who told them to insist on arguing with us! My granddaughter has been missing for almost twenty years. We finally found her, how can she have her first meal at their house!" the grandmother said angrily.

Grandma: "Qingqing came out of my daughter's belly, why can't she come to my house for a meal!"

Grandma: "You're making it sound like Qingqing was born by your daughter alone. Without my son, could your daughter have given birth by herself?"

Seeing that the two were about to fight again, Han Ziyuan quickly intervened:

"Mom, Mother-in-law, please stop arguing!"

"Qingqing is going back to her hometown for the first time. Aren't you afraid of scaring the child like this?!"

Upon hearing this, the two elderly women immediately smiled kindly at Lu Qing:

"Don't be afraid, sweetie! Grandma isn't fierce, she won't hit you. Come home with Grandma, and Grandma will stew a goose for you!"

"Grandma's goose weighs at least twelve pounds. The meat is stewed in an iron pot, and it's so tender, flavorful, and delicious!"

Upon hearing the word "food," Lu Qing's eyes lit up; she was incredibly hungry.

Not to be outdone, Grandma quickly replied:

"What's so delicious about goose! Grandma made you so many snacks. I heard you like mochi, so Grandma made you chocolate, berry, matcha, red bean... lots of flavors!"

Grandma: "I can also make Four Happiness Meatballs. I mix pork, beef, and eggs into a paste, shape it into meatballs, and fry them in oil. After frying, I make some broth and pour it over them. They're so juicy that they ooze oil with every bite!"

Grandma: "I know how to make pastries, the kind that emperors ate in ancient times. I can make lotus flower pastries, chestnut cakes, and crystal cakes. They're sweet but not greasy, even better than mochi."

"..."

The two argued heatedly, their faces flushed, while Lu Qing listened, his mouth watering.

After a long pause, Lu Qing interrupted them sharply: "Stop!!!"

The two old ladies quickly looked at Lu Qing, their eyes filled with eager anticipation.

Lu Qing smiled and said, "Grandma, Grandma, I want to eat everything you mentioned. Can I have it all?"
