The two left at four o'clock in the afternoon.

"Qiu Mei, don't be sad. You should be happy that Xiao Zhen has such a good in-laws."

"Grandpa, I know, I'm just a little lonely. I wish I had another child."

"Don't overthink it." For several generations, the family has only had one son, and this generation is no exception, as it's a girl.

I really hope that Xiao Zhen's first child is a boy, so that the second child, whether it's a boy or a girl, can have the surname Hu.

When Ping An and his wife arrived at Fuzeyuan, only Zhang Hongmei, two elderly people, and nine children were there.

Zhang Hongmei held Hu Peizhen's hand, looking at her delicate face. She thought to herself, "No wonder Ping An couldn't resist."

"Madam, where are Yu Chen and the others?"

"The nine of them are playing games with their masters." Zhang Hongmei knew that Ping An's wife was eager to see the children. Actually, this was quite nice; she was someone who liked children.

"Go visit them, they'll be so happy to see you."

"I'll stay with you."

"It's alright, let's go take a look together."

The two went to the practice room, where the master was playing games with the nine children.

The nine of them saw their grandmother come in, but they didn't rush over. However, they were clearly getting restless.

The two sat to the side watching them play, and when the teacher said get out of class was over, the nine children rushed over like a swarm of bees.

Hu Peizhen stared at Zhang Yuchen and Zhang Zhilin with shining eyes.

"This is your Aunt Ping An."

The nine children greeted Hu Peizhen respectfully.

"Madam, this child is so well-behaved; you have such a good temper."

"Hehe, I love children. Ping An and the other 24 children all grew up here, just like Rui Yang and the others, they were also educated by their master."

"I knew it. I feel that Ping An knows too much. With such a good environment, it would be impossible for him not to be knowledgeable."

The children had one more class, which was a 20-minute break. Zhang Hongmei didn't want to disturb the children's class, so the two of them went to the living room in the front.

Ping An, Gu Chuanming, and Zhang Xingguo drank tea.

"Ping An, you really surprised us all."

Ping An simply chuckled. The two elderly people knew when to stop and continued their discussion about work.

The process of X's return has now begun.

“Ping An, your third brother is in charge of this area this time, so you may have to go out in the future.”

"That's great! I didn't study abroad, so it's good to have the opportunity to go out and see the world now. But will my third brother be able to go out at this time?"

"Your eldest uncle is going."

Ping An found out that Liu Jingze was going. He really treated his third brother like his own son. He was willing to put in the effort for his third brother, who was given this opportunity to gain political achievements.

All five of them knew that Ping An and his wife were coming over for dinner today, so none of them worked overtime and went home on time.

Yang Lijun and her three sisters also returned from the company.

"Sister-in-law, I think this Ping An wife is alright. Although she's quite infatuated with Xiao Wu's face, she only gave Third Brother a polite glance."

"Yeah, I think so too. Ping An has a good relationship with our family, so we shouldn't let him marry someone unreliable."

"Who can argue with that? But I really didn't realize Ping An had such courage. Yao Zu told me they didn't expect it either."

"Hehe, Ping An probably really likes it. Ping An has a family now, so it'll be Zhi Yu, Qing Yang, and Zhi Yuan's turn next."

This second aunt is quite busy; her eldest son is getting married, and soon she'll need to make arrangements for her second son's wedding.

"Zhiyu will graduate next year. I heard from your older brother that he wants to study abroad."

"Yes, Zhiyuan is smart, and many female students in our department like him. He's just young, but I heard they don't care about relationships between older women and younger men."

The two chatted and laughed as the four of them arrived home first, making the house lively.

Zhang Hongmei was very happy to be surrounded by five girls, which unexpectedly reminded her of Annie and her grandchildren in the United States.

He glanced at Qin Shuang, who was chatting happily, and thought it would be a good thing not to bring it up in the future.

Xiao Wu and the other two have also arrived home. They are now in charge of export matters, and they have studied three languages. So Zhang Hongmei assigned them to this task to give them practical experience.

Zhang Ruifeng and Gu Yaozu returned one after the other, and Zhenye and Zhang Weiyu also returned around the same time.

When Zhang Shouyi arrived home, the kitchen was already prepared.

This was Hu Peizhen's first time having dinner with her boss at such close range, and she was a little nervous. Looking at the couple sitting together, she thought they were a perfect match; the man was mature and charming, and the woman was like an angel.

We never discuss work at the dinner table, but it's not a strict rule either; it's mostly just lighthearted gossip.

Hu Peizhen truly felt that Ping An was just like at home in the leader's house. She felt that the leader treated Ping An exceptionally well, like an elder treating a younger person.

After dinner, Ping An and his wife went home to their small home.

The two lingered together until 10 p.m. on Sunday before finally going home.

For lunch, Li Cuihua prepared dumplings with pork and cabbage.

"Xiao Zhen, a designer will be coming to your house this afternoon to take measurements for your future in-laws. Also, although you can't wear a wedding dress on the wedding ceremony day, you can wear one at home tonight."

Your Aunt Hongmei said that a woman's most important event in her life shouldn't be without a wedding dress. So Annie from the US sent one over; you can try it on in a bit.

Hu Peizhen was quite surprised. Of course she liked the wedding dress, but she was still too embarrassed to wear it out. However, even if she couldn't wear it out, she could still look beautiful at home. Even if it was just hanging in the closet, it was still hers.

"Mom, do you have my wedding dress or Ping An's suit?"

"Yes, the leaders' suits, Zhenye's and the other three's suits, and Ping An's suits are all delivered regularly by your sister Annie."

"Is she the lady's goddaughter?"

"Yes, she's an exceptionally beautiful girl, and incredibly capable. She's now in politics; otherwise, she would definitely have come over if you two had gotten married, Ping An."

There's also Daniel's wedding gift for Ping An; you can open it yourselves after dinner.

Cheng Guangxu smiled throughout, and he quite admired his daughter-in-law, considering her a good girl.

After dinner, the two returned to Ping An's room, where two leather suitcases were placed.

Ping An opened it and found it was a dress. "Xiao Zhen, why don't you try it on? This dress looks quite pretty."

"Go to the study and change into your suit."

Ping An knew his wife was just embarrassed, so he didn't tease her. He had to go back to the Hu family home in the afternoon, so he obediently took his suit to the study.

When he finished changing and went back to his room to open the door, he found that the door was locked from the inside.

Hu Peizhen had already changed; this was a more conservative style with a mock turtleneck.
