North City.

The Yun family.

I heard that Yunhe is bringing her boyfriend home to meet her parents today, and Yunhe's uncle and his family also returned from the border town a few days in advance.

For the past few days, the Yun family has been busy preparing food and supplies, afraid that they might not be able to take good care of Ye Chen and Duanmu Jun.

Yunmu's spirits were completely different from before after her daughter found such an excellent boyfriend; she was radiant with new energy.

"Old Yun, go buy some more seafood, some mantis shrimp, some whelks, and a few flounders. Go to Old Li's stall; his seafood is fresh enough."

Yunmu started working in the kitchen early in the morning. She spent the whole night thinking about the menu yesterday, but when she and Yunmu went to the market to buy groceries early this morning, they still forgot to buy some of the groceries.

Yun's father was preparing tea leaves and teaware in the living room when he heard Yun's mother's instructions and immediately got up and went to the kitchen.

"Honey, besides these seafood items, is there anything else? I'll buy it all at once so we don't have to make so many trips."

Mica glanced at the large pile of ingredients on the table next to her, then looked at the seasoning area.

"Then buy another bottle of light soy sauce and oyster sauce. That's all. Go and come back quickly."

"Okay."

Yun's father readily agreed and walked straight outside.

The town's vegetable market wasn't far; Yun's father arrived in less than ten minutes by electric scooter.

Following Yunmu's instructions, he went straight to Old Li's seafood stall.

"Hey Lao Yun, didn't you buy groceries this morning? Did you forget to buy something?"

"My partner said there wasn't enough food, and asked if we could have some more mantis shrimp, whelks, and flounder."

Yun's father scanned the seafood section in front of him, wanting to see if the seafood he wanted was still available.

Yes, yes, yes, we have them all.

"Then get me a few pounds, the biggest, the best, and the freshest."

"Great, this hospitality is top-notch. By the way, has He'er's boyfriend arrived yet? If I weren't watching the stall, I'd like to join in the fun too."

"It's still on its way, probably another half hour. If you want to come, just come. The lady next door can keep an eye on things for you while we wait."

Old Li shook his head as he cleaned the seafood: "That won't do. If my wife finds out, she'll definitely give me a piece of her mind. How can I not do business? I'll go when He'er gets married and has her wedding banquet."

"It's a promise, remember to come."

"Absolutely, after all, I watched this child grow up."

"Now her mother and I can finally stop worrying. We feel much more at ease seeing her find a good family."

"Hey, you two old folks, just wait to enjoy your retirement, isn't that great?"

The two chatted happily, their conversation flowing smoothly.

Finally, Old Li, the seafood seller, bought several bags of seafood for Yun's father and also gave him a few pounds of swimming crabs as a gift.

Yun's father didn't stand on ceremony with him.

We all get along so well normally, so I'm quite happy to accept it.

Yun's father stopped nagging. He still needed to buy some seasonings so he could bring them back to Yun's mother as soon as possible, otherwise she would start nagging again.

The Yun family's old house was bustling with activity.

Grandpa Yun sat on the sofa in the living room, watching the little girl playing around, a big smile on his face.

That's Yun He's cousin, Yun Hanrui, who is two years old this year.

One reason why Yun's parents were so concerned about Yun He's marriage in the past was because of the influence of her cousin.

Yunhe's cousin, Yunyang, is only two years younger than Yunhe, but he got married quickly after graduating from university and now has a lovely daughter.

For Yunmu, Yunyang's life has been very smooth, and he has successfully started a family and established a career.

Then look at my own daughter, how many dates have I set her up with, and how many have fallen through?

It's inevitable that Mica will feel resentful.

However, Yunhe has now found a boyfriend, got engaged soon after, and then got married and had children. Yunhe's parents no longer need to envy other people's families.

In the kitchen, Yunhe's aunt, Yang Man, was helping Yunhe's mother.

"Sister-in-law, is the soup almost ready? Did you add salt?"

While Yunmu was slicing a cucumber, she suddenly couldn't remember when Yang Man asked her question.

"Did you forget to add it? Why don't you taste it and see?"

Because she had to prepare multiple dishes, Mica was indeed a bit overwhelmed.

Yang Man, who was standing to the side, teased with a smile, "Sister-in-law, your son-in-law and in-laws haven't arrived yet? You look so absent-minded."

Yunmu laughed too: "I can't help it, I'm too happy and too nervous, I'm afraid I won't be able to entertain you properly."

"It's okay, I'm here to help you. Let's take it one step at a time, there's no rush."

The two sisters-in-law were very cheerful as they spoke.

On the other side, Ye Chen drove his car into the town's streets.

"Just keep driving straight, there will be an intersection in a while, then turn left and you'll get there."

Yunhe spoke up to remind him.

"Yes, I still remember the way."

Although Ye Chen only came once, he had an excellent memory and remembered Yun He's address last time.

Or perhaps it could be said that because she was someone he cared about, he carefully remembered everything about her.

Duanmu Jun opened the car window and looked at the scenery of the town, and couldn't help but admire it for a while.

Small bridges, flowing water, and traditional houses create a charming, ancient atmosphere that evokes a sense of longing.

"He'er, the scenery here is so beautiful, and the white walls and black tiles give people a sense of antiquity. People who live here must have a high happiness index."

"Yes, the people here are very easy to get along with, and the neighbors live in harmony. Auntie, if you like it here, we can stay a few more days before going back to Chengdu."

Yunhe turned to Duanmu Jun and said.

"OK."

Duanmu Jun really liked this place; she was immediately attracted by the local customs and culture.

The next second, Ye Chen's car slowly came to a stop in front of the Yun family's old mansion.

Just then, Yun's father was watering the flowers at the door. He looked up and saw Yun He, Ye Chen, and Duanmu Jun getting out of the car. He quickly put the watering can on the ground and walked over to them with a smile.

Yunhe saw her father walking over and called out loudly, "Dad."

"Eh."

"uncle."

Ye Chen then greeted them.

Standing at the back, Duanmu Jun walked to the front with a smile: "Hello, in-laws, I am Ye Chen's mother, Duanmu Jun."

"Greetings, in-laws."

Yun's father greeted Duanmu Yun with a smile.

As for why he didn't ask about Ye Chen's father, it was because Yun He had explained Ye Chen's family situation to them beforehand.

The Yun family felt sorry for Ye Chen and Duanmu Jun and wanted to treat the mother and son well. The Yun family was willing to give them love and care.

“You must be exhausted from the journey. Come inside and sit down for a rest.”

"There are gifts prepared for you at the back. Xiao Chen, remember to take them in later."

Duanmu Jun did not forget to remind Ye Chen.

"Why be so polite? It's enough that you've come. Why buy a gift? It's too much of a waste."

"No, we must have it. It's just a matter of courtesy. It's not expensive, but it's a token of our appreciation."

"Then Xiao Chen and I will go get it together. He'er, you take your in-laws in first."

After saying that, Yun's father and Ye Chen walked around the car and went to the trunk.

Seeing this, Yunhe immediately took Duanmu Jun's forearm and walked inside.
