In the afternoon, Feng Haidong accompanied his parents and wife to the hospital for a check-up, arranged by his third cousin.

After a comprehensive examination, it was found that both the wife, Lu Wanling, and the child were healthy.

The results of my parents' physical examination will take some time to come out, and they will also need to have blood drawn for testing the next morning.

After the hospital check-up was completed, the third cousin, Liu Fenlin, took leave and took a taxi to accompany Feng Haidong and the others to the home of the eldest cousin, Liu Fenzhen, in the provincial capital.

Liu Fenlin called her sister from her workplace beforehand.

So when Feng Haidong and his group arrived, his older cousin Liu Fenzhen was already waiting at the door.

Upon seeing Feng Chungu and Liu Guifang, Liu Fenzhen was extremely excited and rushed forward to give Liu Guifang a hug.

"Aunt and Uncle, why didn't you tell me you were coming?"

Liu Guifang felt a little uncomfortable when her eldest niece hugged her. She could only say, "Zhen, let go of your aunt first. Your aunt can't handle this."

Feng Chungu, standing nearby, laughed and said, "Let your eldest niece hold her; it's been years since we last saw her."

Liu Fenzhen said, "Yes, Auntie, let me hug you."

Liu Fenlin said with a smile, "Big sister, you must have suffered some injustice and want to talk to your aunt, right? Your aunt and uncle are here, so someone will stand up for you. Big sister, just say what you want."

At this point, Liu Fenlin turned around and pulled Feng Haidong aside, saying, "Your younger brother is here too. If your brother-in-law's family bullies you, we can't stand for it. Don't think we're so tough to bully others."

Liu Fenlin's words amused everyone.

Feng Haidong said with a smile, "Big sister, you tell me, how can your little brother help you get revenge?"

Liu Fenzhen was amused by her younger sister and cousin, laughing so hard she was doubled over.

After a long pause, Liu Fenzhen released her sister-in-law and said, "No, how could your brother-in-law dare to cause trouble for me? His family always listens to me."

Liu Fenzhen then met with her aunt, uncle, and the couple Feng Haidong and Lu Wanling again.

Liu Fenzhen was startled to see Lu Wanling with a pregnant belly and a little girl by her side.

"My God, Haidong, what's going on with you? It's only been a few years since I last saw you, and this is already your third?"

Upon hearing his elder sister's words, Feng Haidong chuckled and said, "Elder sister, you've figured it out? This is our youngest son, and your sister-in-law has now had a third child."

Liu Fenzhen was truly frightened when she heard Feng Haidong say this; she actually believed it.

"My dear Haidong, you've got some nerve! Your older sister and brother-in-law only had two children, and you dare to have three?"

Feeling embarrassed by what he said, Lu Wanling could only say, "Big sister, don't listen to his nonsense. This is my brother's daughter, and she's with me now."

Liu Fenlin leaned closer to her older sister and whispered something in addition.

After hearing her sister's words, Liu Fenzhen finally understood, and then bowed to greet Lu Yue with a loving smile.

Hello, what's your name?

Lu Yue first looked up at her aunt and uncle, then at the person who greeted her. For a moment, she didn't know how to greet them.

Feng Haidong smiled and explained, "Yueyue, this is your eldest aunt. Of all your aunts, this is the eldest."

Lu Yue looked at Liu Fenzhen and said, "Hello, eldest aunt."

These words immediately made everyone laugh.

Lu Wanling laughed while complaining to her husband, "What nonsense are you teaching? What does it mean that she's the eldest aunt?"

Liu Fenzhen smiled and said, "It's alright, it's alright. You can call me 'eldest aunt.' I think that's a good title. This little girl seems really smart."

Liu Fenlin said, "Yes, eldest sister, Wanling is such a smart and well-behaved niece. My husband and I like her very much, and my daughter likes her too."

Liu Fenzhen said, "I like it too."

Feng Haidong and his friends were chatting happily in front of the family compound when they saw a middle-aged man with gray hair running out, panting.

Upon seeing the crowd standing at the entrance of the residential compound, the other party quickly ran forward.

"Hey You, why are you still standing here? I thought Xiao Zhen hadn't picked you up yet."

Then the middle-aged man greeted Feng Haidong's parents.

"Hello, Aunt and Uncle."

This man is Liu Fenzhen's husband, Ma Bangcheng.

Although Ma Bangcheng is five years older than Liu Fenzhen, he is really good to Liu Fenzhen and always goes along with her in everything at home.

The couple's relationship is naturally very good, as can be seen from the fact that Ma Bangcheng still calls the 48-year-old Liu Fenzhen "Xiao Zhen".

Liu Fenzhen looked at her husband and said, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, so we wanted to chat a bit more. What are you doing here?"

Ma Bangcheng said, "I'm not worried because you didn't pick up your aunt and uncle."

Liu Guifang said, "Okay, okay, let's go home first, and we'll talk again when we get home."

Liu Fenzhen said, "Okay, let's go home first and talk about it then."

Walking through my eldest cousin's family compound, the environment here is completely different from that of my third cousin's family.

The various green plants and the rows of old buildings in the residential compound clearly indicate that this is a very old residential compound.

Moreover, there are many carts and small stalls set up along the roadside in the residential compound.

It's not hard to see that the lives of the families in the residential compound are not good these days.

The group returned to the home of the eldest sister, Liu Fenzhen.

Liu Fenzhen lives on the fifth floor. Before even entering the house, she could smell the strong aroma of braised spices permeating the hallway.

Upon smelling the odor, Liu Fenzhen quickly ran upstairs, complaining to her husband as she did so.

“I told you I’d go pick him up. You can stay home and watch the stove and pot. Just smell this aroma.”

Ma Bangcheng watched his wife run upstairs and could only say, "Slow down."

Then, with an apologetic look, he said to everyone, "Auntie and Uncle, I'm really sorry. Our house is quite messy right now. Xiao Zhen is running her own business, so there might be some smell in the house."

Feng Haidong quickly smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, you and my sister probably don't know, but I'm running my own business now. I own a restaurant that serves grilled fish in our area."

Ma Bangcheng was somewhat surprised: "Haidong, you're doing business on your own now? Does that mean your factory is failing too?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Haidong said helplessly, "Brother-in-law, our factory has been without work for more than half a year, but no one has been laid off yet. I felt that we couldn't just sit and wait for death, so I started doing it myself."

Ma Bangcheng was even more surprised when he heard this, and looked at Feng Haidong with disbelief in his eyes.

After everyone entered Liu Fenzhen's house.

When they sat down, Liu Fenzhen learned that Feng Haidong was also running his own business, and that his restaurant was doing very well. She and her husband were both incredulous.

Feng Haidong then said very seriously, "Big sister, brother-in-law, if possible, I would like to partner with you to open a branch in the provincial capital."
