Zhuang Ruofang went to tidy up the room and discovered that the children had left them gifts.

Jiang Yanxia and her husband bought an extra portion of local specialties specifically for their aunt and uncle.

After discussing it with her partner, Zhuang Zhimeng left a case of wine that her aunt and uncle had produced themselves.

Zhuang Ruofang told her man.

"The children are all very thoughtful."

I've heard Ya Ya mention this wine before; it's a secret recipe left by Xiao Bai's grandfather.

It tastes exceptionally good and sells very well in Northeast China.

Zheng Qichuan opened it and smelled it.

"Mmm, this is really good wine. The aroma alone makes my mouth water."

I'm going to queue up again tonight to buy some cooked food; I can't wait to try this wine.

"Okay, I'll let you have two drinks tonight."

Zheng Qichuan bowed in greeting.

"Madam Xie."

This made Zhuang Ruofang laugh out loud.

"Haha, you're just being silly."

"Luckily the children didn't see it, otherwise your glorious image as an uncle would have been ruined."

Zheng Qichuan smiled too.

"Haha, of course we can't let them see it, it's just for you to see."

Zhuang Ruofang smiled happily.

As Zhuang Zhimeng unwrapped the red envelopes her aunt had given to the two little ones, she asked her husband, who was driving, a question.

"Honey, aren't you afraid that these two will never be home again?"

We stayed at my aunt's house for a total of seven days, and my two cousins ​​only came back once.

An Qingbai smiled and shook his head.

That would be wonderful.

When the time comes, we'll give each of them a small piece of their family fortune and send them on their way. That's all.

Let's enjoy our time together, just the two of us.

"Yes, if they are not filial in the future, we will not give them much money, just a little bit."

"Let's go travel around the world and spend all our money."

"Okay, let's do it this way and have some fun."

The couple laughed at the same time.

"Haha, I still hope they can be filial, otherwise they'll have to rely on their own efforts in the future."

"Yes, I believe they will be filial under our guidance."

An Qingbai suddenly thought of something.

"Honey, what did your uncle say when you called him?"

Zhuang Zhimeng sighed.

"My aunt's mother passed away some time ago, and my aunt has been in a bad mood ever since."

We won't stay at your house this time; we'll just have a meal with your aunt and then leave.

Xiazi and Mengge told them to go to the hotel first, and we would meet up with them after we finished eating.

"If it's not feasible to have two dogs, then we'll have to pay more. I don't know if the hotel allows dogs to stay there?"

"Does your uncle live in the municipal government's staff housing compound?"

"Yes, Uncle promised to come back and have lunch with us after he finishes his work."

"Is your aunt easy to get along with?"

"My aunt is a very gentle woman, and she speaks very softly."

My aunt is not difficult to get along with.

"That's good. I was just worried that my aunt would be difficult to get along with and that we would have another unpleasant encounter."

Don't worry, it won't happen.

My aunt also likes me very much. When I was little, she would buy me clothes every year and send them to Beijing.

"Then let's get some things for Uncle and Aunt."

"Hmm, the tea I drew is quite good, give them some."

Get some more flower tea for my aunt.

We'll take some of the snacks from our brigade too.

Some of the snacks also included fruit, hoping that my aunt would be happy to eat them.

That's all. Any more and it would raise suspicions of bribery.

An Qingbai nodded.

"Once you become an official, you can't just give whatever gifts you want to your own relatives."

Should we still give that wine to Uncle?

"Get a jar for your uncle, let him try it."

The couple agreed to take turns driving.

Two days later, we arrived in Guangzhou.

Zhuang Zhimeng and the others first found a hotel to settle down.

They paid extra and had to plead with the shopkeeper before they agreed to let the dog stay with them.

Zhuang Zhimeng handed the ball over to Xiazi to look after.

They held Fatty and Nao Nao's hands, one on each side.

An Qingbai carried the packaged gifts.

The family of four went to the municipal government's residential compound.

I was only allowed to enter after registering at the gate.

"Honey, are my three cousins ​​home too? We don't think we prepared any gifts for them."

They don't live here.

They are all married now and live in houses allocated by their respective work units.

We won't go specifically to see them this time.

"That explains it. I was thinking we should prepare red envelopes if we met my three cousins' kids."

"Let's prepare next time we have the chance to meet."

The four people went to the innermost house and rang the doorbell.

Bian Peirong opened the door, looking haggard.

Zhuang Zhimeng went straight up and gave her aunt a hug.

"Aunt, we've come to see you."

Bian Peirong's expression immediately brightened with joy.

"Ya Ya? What are you doing here? Your uncle didn't tell me."

"I told my uncle not to tell you, so I could give you a surprise."

"It's a real surprise; I never expected you to come."

Zhuang Zhimeng pulled her lover along to introduce him to her aunt.

“Aunt, this is my husband, An Qingbai.”

"Hello, Auntie."

"Okay, you can come in first."

Fatty and Nao Nao hugged Bian Pei Rong's legs first.

"Grandma, we're here for you too."

"Grandma, there's me and my brother too."

Bian Peirong looked at the two little ones on her lap and laughed.

"They look so alike, which one is Fatty and which one is Nao Nao?"

The chubby boy raised his chubby little hand.

"Grandma, I'm Fatty."
