This doesn't stop her from teasing her own older brother.

"So what if I cry?"

She said to her older brother with a hint of annoyance, "It's perfectly normal for pregnant women to be sentimental! It's you who's more..."

"You're so old and still all alone, you haven't even brought me a sister-in-law, how dare you come to my house?"

As she spoke, Yu Mingxiang called to her children, "Come on! Let's go home and lock your uncle outside!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Weiguo and the others chuckled.

She covered her mouth and chuckled.

Of course, they didn't lock Yu Chengping outside during the Chinese New Year.

Not only did she not close the door to the outside, but after learning that Yu Chengping was Yu Mingxiang's older brother, Grandma Gu also addressed him as her in-law and invited him in with extra enthusiasm.

Upon seeing this, Yu Mingxiang was speechless.

She rolled her eyes at her older brother.

Her older brother is just benefiting from the fact that their parents died young.

Otherwise, let's see if she'll let him in!

snort!

The return of Yu Chengping and his three children made the New Year atmosphere in the village courtyard even stronger.

"All that's missing are the daylilies!"

Yu Mingxiang looked at Qin Weiguo, Xue Ru, and Qin Xiangdong, who were holding their son tightly, and said with a smile, "I sent a telegram to your sister a few days ago. She said that she and Qiu Jin went to the Chinatown area to buy flour and other things. They're going to make dumplings for the New Year!"

The whole family was reunited, but their daughter was the only one missing.

It would be a lie for Yu Mingxiang to say she didn't miss it, but...

My daughter is doing very well in Xidi.

Qiu Jin and Ling Feng doted on her like a younger sister, and even said they would take her to the Tangren District for the New Year. Tang Mingde and the others also contacted them, saying that Xuancao was in Xidi and that they could rest assured.

They treat it like their own child!

Yu Chengping: "!!!"

Hearing his younger sister mention daylilies, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.

"I heard that California University is quite lively right now!"

He exclaimed in amazement, "Xuancao has shown her talent so early in her career. One paper attracted many top researchers from the Western Empire to California, and even top researchers from other countries got involved. A group of top researchers almost got into a fight at California University!"

"That scene even made the Wall Street Journal!"

"My niece is awesome!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang chuckled.

A proud smile spread across his face.

My daughter is going to study at Xidi University, so she definitely needs to show her abilities!

Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to learn advanced techniques, and it would be difficult for her to learn core areas.

Yu Mingxiang: ...

Knowing her daughter's abilities, I'm not worried about her studies.

As for the safety of daylilies...

Her identity has not been revealed. She is currently just the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Hong Kong. With Qiu Jin and his group around her, worrying about her seems a bit unnecessary!

Thinking of this, Yu Mingxiang immediately felt relieved.

The family happily made some more dumplings.

Dumplings in the Xia Kingdom, firecrackers ringing out.

Yu Mingxiang looked at her children beside her, a satisfied smile on her face.

The family had a happy and joyful Chinese New Year.

The second day of the Lunar New Year.

Gu Yunlan brought her husband and children to visit her parents' home.

We had another big meal at home.

The third day of the Lunar New Year.

Even though Yu Chengping couldn't stand his younger sister's constant urging to get married, he found an excuse to leave early.

Yu Mingxiang: ...

Her older brother is already so grown up, but she doesn't care about him at all.

They dropped him off at the door and watched as his older brother got into Zhao Dashuai's car.

After Yu Chengping left, Yu Mingxiang noticed that her three children seemed to want to say something but held back.

"What's wrong?"

Yu Mingxiang looked at her son and daughter-in-law with a puzzled expression and asked, "Is there anything you can't say at home? Why are you hesitating like this?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Weiguo and his wife: ...

They looked at each other in bewilderment.

Then, he turned to look at Qin Xiangdong.

Qin Xiangdong: "!!!"

Receiving a look from his older brother and sister-in-law, he pointed at himself in disbelief, "Me?"

He muttered, "Why am I always the one charging into battle?"

He'll get beaten up!

He really is going to get beaten up!

Qin Xiangdong suspected that the reason he wasn't as smart as his older brother and sister-in-law was because he had taken too many beatings for them.
