Chapter 763 Arriving Home

"Yeah. You two brothers do look quite alike. You looked like this when you were little too. You just weren't as chubby as Ningning."

The family of four looked especially warm and loving. Zhang Hongmei held Annie's hand as they sat in the living room.

"Mom, why is Uncle Zhao about to cry?" Annie whispered in Zhang Hongmei's ear.

"Hehe, it's because he's excited. Your Uncle Zhao didn't have any younger siblings when he was little, so he's very excited now that he does.

"Oh, I was worried he'd be upset."

"How could that be? This is his little brother."

Shen Yunfang had already prepared the meal. When she went to the living room, she only saw the mother and daughter. But she was afraid the food would get cold, so she had to knock on the door to call them.

"Hehe. Home is still the best." Zhao Hao slumped into a chair after finishing his meal, rubbing his stomach. He had really eaten too much.

Annie gave him a disdainful look. "Uncle Zhao, you're so pathetic. How did you get so fat?"

"Because the food at home is delicious, and because the lovely and pretty Annie keeps me company while I eat!"

Annie giggled at his joke.

"Annie, your mother's grandfather, husband, and family have all brought you gifts. Come on, Uncle Zhao will take you to get them!"

"And my gift?"

"Of course, one is your great-grandfather and the other is your godfather, how could they not prepare gifts for you? They even asked me to tell you that when your mother goes back, you can come along."

"Really? That's great! I want to go see it too. That's my grandma's hometown, right?"

"yes."

The two held hands and went to the living room where they would put their luggage.

The two of them sat down directly on the ground. Zhao Hao grabbed a bag and started taking things out of it.

"This was given to you by your great-grandfather." Zhao Hao handed over an old-fashioned wooden box.

"What's this?" Annie opened it and immediately called to Zhang Hongmei, "Mom, come quick! Look what Great-Grandpa gave me!"

"Hongmei, you go quickly, I'll be ready in a bit."

Zhang Hongmei wiped her hands and came into the living room. (The box)

He looked at Annie holding it up. "Hehe, your great-grandfather really gave you something good. This is a jade pendant. Keep it safe!"

"Okay!"

Zhao Hao then handed Annie a box. "This is from your godfather."

"Mom, is your godfather your husband?"

“Yes, it’s my husband. Open it and see what he gave you. This box is bigger than the one your great-grandfather gave you.”

"Mom, my godfather gave me jewelry, just like the ones you gave me."

Zhang Hongmei: "Hehe, your godfather gave you something better than mine. I can tell he really likes you."

"Mom, we've never met before!"

"But you've all seen each other's photos, haven't you?"

Did you give my godfather my photo?

"Yes, it's a group photo taken at the banquet."

"Hehe, it's good that he likes me. I'm more worried that he won't like me."

"How could that be? You are an angel, everyone loves you."

Zhao Haozheng handed over another cloth bag, which Zhang Hongmei helped open. Inside was a red printed dress with white rabbit fur trim.

Zhang Hongmei unfolded it, revealing a cotton skirt.

"Mom, this is so beautiful."

"Hehe, yes, it's so beautiful. When it gets cold, wear it and I'll do your hair in a bun. You'll look absolutely gorgeous."

"Mom, I like this gift."

"I'm glad my baby likes it."

The last item was a gift from Wang Ying. It was also a dress, which Zhang Hongmei thought the girl must have had made; it was a cheongsam, yellow with peony prints.

Zhang Hongmei pulled Annie up. "Come on, let's go back to the room and change into this. It'll fit perfectly now. It's a lined jacket, and it even has sleeves."

The two excitedly ran upstairs. Zhao Tiancheng couldn't help but shake his head with a smile; no matter what age a woman is, she has no resistance to clothes and jewelry.

"Dad, this is what Grandpa Gu gave to my brother, this is what the leader gave him, this is what Aunt Li gave him, and this is what Wang Ying gave him."

"Hehe, I'll go get it for your mom. Our Ningning has also received many blessings."

"Really, Dad, should we hold a celebration for Ningning's one-month birthday?"

"Yes, we'll still hold it at William's buffet restaurant. I've already spoken to her and sent out the invitations. In ten days, our Ningning will be a month old." After saying that, Zhao Tiancheng picked up the four gifts and went inside to find his wife.

Zhao Hao was sitting on the ground continuing to sort things out. These three large bags belonged to Zhang Hongmei, so he didn't need to worry about them. All he had to do was trust them.

All the letters addressed to Zhang Hongmei were picked out, and the letters from the McCann family were also placed directly into Zhang Hongmei's pile.

I'll deliver the rest myself, but after thinking about it, I'll go tomorrow. I'm already feeling tired.

Because I was so eager to get home, I didn't feel anything on the way, just anxious. But now that I'm home and eating my family's meal, I feel dizzy and lightheaded.

After giving Zhang Hongmei some instructions, he went back to his room to sleep.

Hearing the footsteps coming downstairs, I looked up and immediately felt an urge to grab them.

“Annie, you’re so cute! Wait a minute, I’ll go get the camera and make sure to capture this moment.”

Zhao Hao jumped up and ran into his bedroom.

Annie smiled smugly. "Mom, am I too pretty?"

"Yes, it's so beautiful. In our country, it can be used to describe the attendant of Guanyin descending to earth."

"Come on, let's show it to Aunt Wang. She'll definitely love it."

The two entered Wang Xinyi's room hand in hand.

"Wow? Annie is so beautiful. My goodness, she's like a pageboy descended from heaven."

Annie and Zhang Hongmei both burst into laughter. "Grandma Wang, that's what my mother just said too."

Wang Xinyi pulled Annie over; her features were delicate and defined, her blonde hair styled in a bun, and she wore a yellow cheongsam. She was absolutely stunning.

Zhao Haozheng also ran in, "Annie, come here, Uncle Zhao will take a picture of you."

Because there were children in the house, everyone went to the living room. Click, click, click, Zhao Hao was snapping away, taking many photos of Annie. This little girl was very good at posing; every single one was different.

When Zhao Hao put down his camera, Zhang Hongmei picked it up and looked at it. Goodness, he had taken more than thirty photos in such a short time.

"Annie, let's go to the photo studio in a bit and get the photos developed."

"Hongmei, I won't stay with you any longer. I'm a little tired. I'll go back and rest."

"Go on, you're finally home. Your tense emotions have relaxed, of course you're tired."

"Oh, by the way, these three big bags are all for you. They were given to you by Aunt Li, Wang Ying, and Grandpa Gu."

This pile of letters is also for you. Zhou Changrong is giving you one, and another one is for his son. Whether you give them to him or not is up to you.
