Before Ji Yanqing's uncle and aunt came, Lu Yiru divided the gifts for the elders one by one. She asked Ji Yanqing to take the gifts for Ji Yanqing's grandparents back to his grandfather's room, and put the gifts for his parents on the table.

There were also three boxes of 20-jin fruits on the table: one box of kiwis, one box of cherries, and one box of Kyoho grapes.

Old Madam Ji and Ji Yanru were chatting with Lu Yiru, and Xu Hui called her eldest daughter-in-law to go to the kitchen to help cook, as Aunt Zhang was too busy to handle it alone.

Ji Yanqing stood up and took out two fruit plates, washed one plate of cherries and one plate of Kyoho grapes and put them back on the table.

Soon, Ji Lao's other children came with their families, and Lu Yiru began a new round of recognizing people. She felt a little embarrassed when she was praised so highly.

Regardless of whether these compliments were true or false, Lu Yiru felt a little intimidated after hearing them too many times. Her face flushed red as she clung to Ji Yanqing.

Soon, the Ji family's nanny brought the dishes to the table one after another. There were exactly two tables, with all the necessary chicken, duck, fish and meat.

Ji Yanqing kept picking up food for Lu Yirou, and her bowl was almost full. Lu Yirou gently kicked Ji Yanqing beside her and said, "Stop picking up food, it's almost full."

Lu Yiru was not very interested in food. From childhood to adulthood, the four brothers and sisters had eaten all kinds of delicious food.

Ji Yanqing's uncle Ji Huaiyuan laughed and teased, "Our Ji family's most reserved and aloof Second Young Master, is this the first time he's fallen in love? Has he finally come to his senses?"

"Uncle, you look so happy today. Did you get a promotion and a raise? Or did your cousin get 100 points in both final exams again?" Ji Yanqing retorted with a smile.

My uncle always complains about his low salary at work, which is even lower than that of a small vendor, and that he has two poor sons, neither of whom is good at studying.

"You're such a good talker, kid. I can't beat you in an argument."

Ji Lao said: "Don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping. Lao Si, eat well."

Ji Huaiyuan was speechless. His father was so partial to him that he bullied his youngest son.

After dinner, everyone in the Ji family gathered around the young couple, Ji Yanqing and Lu Yiru, and chatted with them. Then they took out red envelopes and handed them to Lu Yiru as a gift.

Ji Yanqing smiled and took the red envelope, then put it into Lu Yiru's bag. Lu Yiru chatted with them for a while, and when she saw that several uncles and aunts were going to work, she also stood up and said goodbye.

Mrs. Ji invited her to have dinner, but Lu Yirou said she had something to do at home.

She is a girl, it is impossible for her to stay at the man's house before getting married. Yesterday, Ji Yanqing stayed at her house and lived in her eldest brother's room.

Ji Yanqing naturally couldn't let Lu Yiru go back alone, so he asked his grandfather's personal driver to take Lu Yiru home first while he went back to the unit.

When Lu Yiru came back, Xie Huashan asked her why she didn't call back, and said that if he had known she would come back so early, he should have gone to pick her up in advance.

Su Yan knew that her daughter had gone to meet the Ji family, so she stayed at home and waited for her to come back.

Su Yan asked Lu Yirou, "Did your visit to the Ji family go smoothly?"

"It's going smoothly. It's just that the Ji family has as many relatives as ours, so the interpersonal relationships must be very complicated. Ji Yanqing's brother and sister are easy to talk to, but that sister-in-law is like a smiling tiger."

"Rou Rou, the best way to avoid conflict is to stay away from it. You have to understand that close proximity can lead to stench, while distant proximity can lead to fragrance. There should be a suitable distance between people.

No matter who your sister-in-law is, you should show her respect when there are many people around, and say polite words to her. If she is rude, it means she lacks self-cultivation, but you cannot lose your manners."

"Mom, I understand all this. If you want a harmonious relationship between the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and sisters-in-law, just stay away from them. You can get together during festivals, family events, or holidays."

I'm in the Air Force, and it takes an hour to drive back to the city. I usually don't go back unless I have something important to do."

"If you don't come back, Yan Qing will be home alone?"

"I've thought about this too. It would be great if we could just ask him to transfer our troops. We also need translators."

"My dear, are you stupid? Do you think being a translator in the military district or a translator in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has a better future? Yan Qing should try to climb up the ladder while his grandfather is still around. Once his grandfather is gone, who knows if anyone will still believe him."

"Mom, his grandfather was such a high-ranking official. Even if he passed away, the people above him would still believe him, not to mention that he was so outstanding."

"Silly girl, there are many outstanding people, and there are also many children of big leaders. No matter which department you are in, the competition is very fierce. You must remember these two sayings: when people leave, the tea gets cold, and if you fall behind, you will be punished.

We must have a sense of crisis in everything we do, and we must not slack off when we need to work hard."

"Mom, I understand. Yanqing's father said he would find a time to visit and discuss the marriage arrangements."

"Your eldest brother and third brother will be back from abroad next week. When they come back, ask the Ji family to come over."

"good."

"Your eldest brother also asked me what gift I wanted and said he would give me a surprise when he came back."

Su Yan deliberately changed the subject. Seeing her daughter meet an excellent partner, she was happy for her, but also worried about her. After all, she had missions almost every day in the army, and even when she had no missions, she had to train and study constantly. In short, it was impossible for her to be idle.

What if the couple are separated for a long time and their relationship is affected?

"Mom, I'm going back to the army soon. Can you ask Uncle Xie to give me a ride?"

"Why are you so busy? Didn't you take two days off? Get up at five tomorrow and let Xiao Xie take you home."

"I still have a report to finish, so I'll go back early today and wait for my eldest and third brothers to return home. I'll see if I can get some leave."

"Okay then, I'll prepare something to eat for you."

"Mom, can you prepare some kimchi and chicken mushroom beef sauce for me?"
