Chen Hong was puzzled when she suddenly spotted a familiar face. Oh, it was them! But why did she feel a little flustered?

Whether to avoid it or face it head-on, Chen Hong decided her next move in just one second.

After unloading the goods, she went to the bathroom to wash her hands before leisurely walking towards Uncle Zhouyi.

"Uncle Zhou, what brings you here? Could you be the tourist Dr. Wu introduced?"

Chen Hong shook hands with Uncle Zhou to greet him, but she had some doubts in her heart.

She and Zhou Yi texted each other last night, but he didn't say anything.

Does this mean that Zhou Yi was unaware of his uncle's arrival in Yujia Village?

Moreover, Zhou Yi had promised himself that he wouldn't tell his family about their relationship now, but would tell them after a few years when their relationship was more stable.

Chen Hong exchanged pleasantries with Uncle Zhou without showing any emotion, intending to remain calm and assess the situation before making a move.

Uncle Zhou was also very happy to see Chen Hong. "Little Chen, it's so nice to see you. It's been more than half a year since we last met, hasn't it?"

I heard that the summer temperature here is pleasant and the seafood is plentiful, and that you've built a small hotel.

I brought my younger brother and his wife here for a fishing vacation!

When we get to your turf, we'll be in a lot of trouble for you, so please carry a lot of things!

Chen Hong couldn't help but smile. "Uncle Zhou, you're too kind. It's our honor that you can come and visit our little fishing village."

Welcome! We hope you enjoy your time here!

Zhou Yi's uncle introduced Zhou Yi's parents, Xiao Xue and Chen Hong, saying, "This is my second brother, my sister-in-law, and this is Xiao Xue, who is here to take care of our staff."

Chen Hong greeted them one by one and shook hands with each of them. Her demeanor was poised and graceful, neither reserved nor hurried.

Zhou Yi's mother held Chen Hong's hand tightly, saying, "Oh my, your daughter is so beautiful and kind-hearted."

I had already heard from them that my grandmother's recovery was all thanks to your excellent medicine.

I've wanted to meet you for a long time, but I never had the chance. As soon as you mentioned coming here to fish, I quickly followed you.

"Your place is wonderful. The people are kind and the food is delicious. We all love it and have decided to stay here for a while longer!"

Uncle Zhouyi: When did I invite you to come fishing? I didn't know that.

You've completely got that backwards! This trip was clearly orchestrated by you and your husband!

Are you going to stay a few more days? You made this decision all by yourself without even discussing it with us.

That's what he thought, but he didn't dare to contradict his sister-in-law. Not only could his brother not argue with her, but he, as her elder brother, couldn't handle her either, so he didn't want to make a fool of himself.

Anyway, the Zhou family's motto is that women are in charge, and the brothers just need to follow orders.

However, Uncle Zhouyi could see a hint of determination in his younger brother and sister-in-law's radiant, wrinkled faces.

"Uncle Zhou, have you arranged accommodations? If not, you can stay at my house. I have spare rooms." Chen Hong politely invited her guests to stay.

Uncle Zhou Yi waved his hand, "No need, we've already checked in."

Your hotel suites are very comfortable; they're perfect for us.

Besides, you often go out to sea, and we also need to go fishing, so staying in a hotel is more convenient.

Uncle Zhou Yi refused Chen Hong's invitation without hesitation. Her child often went out to sea, and since there were many of them, they preferred to stay in a hotel for more freedom and convenience.

Zhou Yi's mother wanted to get closer to Chen Hong, but since it was their first meeting and they weren't familiar with each other yet, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to suddenly move into someone else's home.

Fortunately, it's just a short distance between the front and back yards. Once they get to know each other better, she can visit anytime.

"I should have hosted a welcome dinner for you all tonight, but I didn't know you were coming. I just received a hotel booking this morning and I'm going out to sea this afternoon."

Uncle Zhou, come to my house for lunch tomorrow. I'll treat you to the freshest and most authentic seafood from the East China Sea!

"You go about your business, don't worry about us, you can eat anytime."

"We'll have time tomorrow, and we'll definitely visit you at noon." Uncle Zhou Yi was very happy; Shandong people are so hospitable.

He was prepared for the fact that they would definitely treat him to a meal once they arrived on their territory.

His Shandong comrades used to do this; welcoming and farewell banquets were all customary practices.

As they stayed longer, they found excuses to get together and drink every day. They'd have a drink whenever they slaughtered a chicken, a goose, a sheep, or a pig. Even if they got their hands on a good bottle of wine, they'd have a drink!

Anyway, Shandong people love to get together to drink and play drinking games, and many of the women there have an exceptional capacity for alcohol.

Uncle Zhou Yi accepted Chen Hong's invitation and then sat down again to continue eating.

Chen Hong went back to the kitchen and ate a simple lunch. She then found the village chief and said, "Uncle, I have something to tell you."

Those guests from Beijing are very important. You and Uncle Erhu should take turns accompanying them to find a place to go fishing.

They are all retired high-ranking officials; their safety must be ensured, and they should not be sent to dangerous places.

The village chief was startled. "Retired high-ranking officials are still high-ranking officials. Your Uncle Erhu and I will definitely take good care of them. Don't worry!"

If all else fails, your Uncle Erhu and I will become their lackeys, staying by their side to serve them at all times.

Seeing the village chief so serious and solemn, Chen Hong couldn't help but smile. "Uncle, you don't need to be so nervous!"

They were accompanied by staff members, including that young man.

You and Uncle Erhu just need to arrange their food and lodging as best you can, and try to meet their needs. Don't be afraid of spending money or causing trouble.

Most importantly, when they go fishing, they are told about several types of dangerous sea fish.
