They came from the train station, but in the end, everyone split into three groups.

The Jin family was picked up by military vehicles, while the Su family and Ling Xiaohe left on different buses because they were going in different directions.

It's not far from the train station to Gulou Street; it only took five bus stops.

Su Feng, who grew up in Beijing, knew this place very well. Before he even got home, he saw Cai Qingwen and Lao Feng standing at the gate, chatting and looking towards the road.

"They're back."

Upon seeing everyone, young and old, return, Lao Feng and Cai Qingwen happily turned around and shouted into the yard.

As soon as they finished speaking, Su Xingchen, Su Xinghai, and Feng Zilu ran over.

"Uncle."

"Uncle Su."

"Uncle."

The three boys waved excitedly at Su Feng, their excitement having lasted since yesterday.

Su Feng could feel everyone's joy, and he was in a very good mood as well. He casually took out three small boxes from the bag he was carrying.

"This is a New Year's gift for you all, one for each of you."

He had already bought gifts for his family before he even went home, including gifts for Grandpa Feng and his grandson, as well as the Cai family.

The three young boys, Su Xingchen and his companion, never expected to receive a gift; this surprise came too suddenly.

"Digital watch".

"Ah, it's a digital watch."

After receiving the small box, Su Xingchen and his brother couldn't wait to open it. When they saw that what lay inside was a watch that was different from ordinary watches, they immediately recognized it from the numbers displayed on the watch.

It's a digital watch, a digital watch that directly displays the time. From now on, they'll have their own watches, and they'll be unique.

Su Xingchen and Su Xinghai were extremely excited, thinking that their uncle was such a kind person.

"Uncle Su, this watch is too valuable, I can't accept it."

When Feng Zilu opened it and found it was a digital watch, he immediately wanted to return it to Su Feng. This gift wasn't cheap, and he couldn't just accept it.

"It's not expensive. There are many of these electronic watches in the south now, and they are several times cheaper than watches. An electronic watch like this only costs about ten yuan."

It was because he discovered that this electronic watch was economical and practical that Su Feng thought of his three nephews when he saw it. He decided to buy it for them as a New Year's gift, and they would actually be able to use it.

Upon hearing this, everyone realized that a digital watch costing only a dozen yuan was indeed not expensive, and families like theirs could afford it.

Seeing that his grandfather had nodded, Feng Zilu happily accepted the gift and quickly thanked Su Feng, now that he had a watch too.

After entering the main room together, Su Feng immediately distributed the gifts he had bought.

The women all wore bright red wool scarves, the best quality kind, while the men all wore black pure wool hats, comfortable and warm.

In addition to these, Su Feng also brought back a lot of seafood, including dried squid, dried abalone, sea cucumber, sandworms, fish maw, and dried scallops.

Su Feng used to send these seafood products home every three months, and they were always delivered to him by Captain Liu through intermediaries. They were of better quality than what was sold in stores.

"Do your teacher and your partner have these things?!"

When Qiao Jiuru saw her youngest son taking these things out of the door, she quickly asked him about it.

"Yes, the teacher has some too."

Su Feng wasn't someone who didn't understand social etiquette, so he naturally gave one to his mentor and one to his partner.

That's good.

Meanwhile, Professor Jin and his group arrived at a military compound, where his elder brother and his grandnephews who were not yet in school were waiting for them.

"Big brother, we're back."

Professor Jin was very excited to see his older brother. He hadn't been back for almost two years, and they were both getting on in years. Now, every meeting was one less chance they could have.

"Big brother."

"Grandpa, I'm back."

Quan Hong and Jin Zhu also hurriedly greeted the old man. Jin Zhu, in particular, put down her luggage and ran to the old man's side.

"Good, good, it's good to be back. Your rooms are all ready. Are you hungry? Let Aunt Huang cook you some noodles."

Grandpa Jin was in a great mood when he saw his younger brother and sister-in-law, and when he saw his most beloved granddaughter beside him, he was overjoyed.

"Grandpa, I miss you."

"You miss Grandpa but don't come home. I think you only run so far away because you're afraid we'll nag you. You don't want to come home."

Although he was pleased with his eldest granddaughter's words, he felt sorry for her being so far away from home.

If it were a grandson, there wouldn't be much to say, but it's more reassuring to have a girl by your side.

"Brother, we just met Su Feng's family. They even came to the train station to pick us up."

Quan Hong was worried that this topic would make everyone unhappy, so he quickly told Brother Jin about the Su family.

Sure enough, the old man became very interested after hearing that the Su family had gone to pick up his younger brother and his wife and granddaughter.

"What did you think of the Su family?! What was their attitude towards Jinzhu?!"

"The Su family gives a very good impression, much like the Jin family. They are all educators, so they are definitely not the kind of people who are mean and unreasonable. Before we left, they even invited us to visit them in a couple of months. I heard that they invited two close friends to celebrate the New Year together this year."

Quan Hong's face lit up with smiles when she talked about the Su family. She felt that she would get along well with Qiao Jiuru, and that Su Feng's relatives were probably similar to her husband's. She really wanted to get to know them.

"Pearl, what do you think?!"

The old man naturally trusted his younger brother and sister-in-law's judgment, but what mattered most was whether his granddaughter liked it or not, since it was she who would be living the life of her granddaughter.

"Grandpa, I feel that his family is a nice person, the kind of people who are very open-minded, and they definitely won't make things difficult for me."

After Jinzhu and Sufeng confirmed their relationship, Sufeng told her about his family and their thoughts on their marriage.

In short, I will not live with them anymore and will not interfere in their family life.

Of course, the Su family also had requirements for their daughter-in-law, namely that she must want to be devoted to their son.

Jinzhu can definitely do that.

"Alright, did that kid say when he'd be coming to pay a visit?!"

The old man was eager to meet this new grandson-in-law. Since his family valued him so much, he should be meeting the parents soon, right?

"It should be after two months."

Professor Jin was a little uncertain. He definitely needed to prepare well, because the better he prepared, the more it showed that the other party valued him.

The old man nodded; he also felt that it was necessary to go through two months.

As they were talking, the logistics lady had already cooked the noodles and came over to invite them to eat.

Dumplings on the way up, noodles on the way down.
