A week later, Mike's family's plane landed at the airport.

Lu Yu had informed the airport management beforehand, so arrangements had been made in this regard.

He was at work, and Bai Shuang and Bai Jiu, who were prepared in advance, greeted them at the airport.

As soon as the cabin door opened, I heard my junior classmates exclaim in surprise, "Senior sister!"

Bai Shuang went up to hug them, and her mischievous junior brother even stole a kiss on her cheek.

"How could such a wonderful senior sister marry someone else?"

Bai Shuang slapped him on the head.

"Behave yourself, or I'll beat you up."

"Woof woof woof..."

The neglected snow leopard busied itself calling out from the sidelines.

"snow leopard!"

The junior sister happily ran towards it.

"Uncle-Master, Aunt-Master, come with me to rest first. I'll treat you to a welcome dinner tonight."

Bai Shuang had booked a suite at the base's guesthouse in advance.

It also includes a small kitchen, so you can cook for yourself and make it convenient for Bai Shuang to take out ingredients from the space.

The base has greenhouses and a wide variety of vegetables, but they are very expensive. Grain is already scarce, but vegetables are even scarcer. It's like two pounds of grain can only be exchanged for one pound of vegetables.

In the White Frost Space, there are plenty of vegetables. Any kind that the base has can be taken out, placed in advance, and kept in reserve. The items are of good quality, and you can also save a lot of points.

Uncle Mike and his colleagues had just gotten off the plane and were very tired, so it wasn't a good time for them to eat greasy food.

Bai Shuang and the other two cooked a thick millet porridge and six plates of bright green stir-fried vegetables, which were quickly served, along with a large plate of small steamed buns.

In fact, these things are quite a luxury in times of natural disasters and apocalypse.

Auntie: "Why prepare so much food? It's such a waste."

Bai Shuang: "If we eat it, it won't be a waste."

Junior sister: "Senior sister's cooking is so good, it looks so appetizing."

"I didn't cook these dishes; it's Bai Jiu's cooking."

The teacher's wife looked at her two children and said, "When you have time, learn from your brother Bai Jiu so you don't lack any life skills."

Bai Jiu was a little embarrassed by the praise.

After the meal, the master and mistress presented Bai Shuang with their dowry—a box of gold bars and a wedding dress.

"Your uncle doesn't have much to give you. This gauze was brought back from abroad before the disaster. Your aunt stayed up all night to finish it when she heard you were getting married."

You could use this box of gold bars if you opened a hospital, so I brought it.

Bai Shuang felt like crying. She never expected that even after her mother passed away, someone would still sew her wedding dress.

"Thank you, Aunt and Uncle. I will accept the wedding dress."

"But don't give me this box of gold bars. You've given me all your family's wealth; then my junior brothers and sisters will have nothing left."

Aunt: "Don't worry, keep it. I have more at home that I can give you."

Mike: "If a good son doesn't leave any possessions, what possessions are we going to leave him?"

The junior apprentice felt like he'd been adopted, joking with his father, "Why don't you say a good daughter doesn't need a dowry?"

Uncle-Master: "Girls are delicate, of course they need a dowry."

"Is Senior Sister delicate?"

"She's not delicate, but she's a girl, aren't you?"

Junior brother: ...Dad is unreasonable.

In the afternoon, Li Wenyuan and his wife's plane landed at the base airport, accompanied by Uncle Zuo and Zuo Kaichen (Young Master Zuo).

Bai Shuang also guessed that, given her relationship with the Zuo family and their sensitivity, she would have to come to the base to take a look.

Upon seeing the unusual building and layout, Zuo Shao couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, I never expected the Kyoto military base to look like this."

Bai Shuang never expected that Uncle Zuo would bring this clown along.

"You'd better behave yourself here. Discipline is strict, or the consequences will be severe."

Do you think I'm a three-year-old?

"Good to know."

The marriages of the two senior uncles were remarkably similar.

Li Wenyuan and his wife still sent a box of gold bars and a wedding dress embroidered by Li's wife herself.

The difference is that Aunt Li embroidered a red wedding dress, while Aunt Mike gave her a wedding gown. Both can be used on the wedding day.

Bai Tian and Bai Di also asked Uncle Li to bring them gifts: several packets of large red "double happiness" characters they had cut out themselves, along with auspicious paintings. These were quite rare even in the apocalypse.

They are currently helping out at Uncle Li's coal mine, but because their child is still young and can't handle the physical exertion, they didn't come along.

The Zuo family head and Zuo's second uncle's family also sent gifts. The Zuo family head sent two gold bars, plus a set of unopened bedding.

They must have stored these before the disaster; they're rarely seen now in the apocalypse.

The gift from Uncle Zuo's family was simpler: six gold bars.

Regardless of what they gave or whether it was useful or not, it was all a token of their goodwill.

Bai Shuang's mother, maternal grandparents, and other elders have all passed away. Now, the only elders left in the family are her uncle and aunt, so they have to come over.

That evening, Bai Shuang and Lu Yu hosted a welcome-back banquet for him, and Grandpa Lu specially left work early to accompany them.

Bai Shuang and Lu Yu left early and didn't know the specifics of what the elders discussed, only that they talked for a long time and later set the wedding date for September 29.

929 represents eternal love.

The next day, Li Wenyuan went to see Ling Liyuan.

"What are you doing here?"

Li Wenyuan: "Don't worry, they definitely didn't come to see you."

Not bad at all, successful in her career, with children and a happy family! Yet she lived a lonely life and quietly passed away…

I asked you, "Don't you ever feel guilty in the middle of the night?"

Ling Liyuan: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Alright, I don't want to say anything more. As for Shiyan's fate, she can only blame herself for being blind back then."
