Early that morning, Caiyan brought a letter back from the mailbox.

It was sent by Zhou Meihua.

While eating breakfast, An Hua opened the letter and read it quickly.

"Oh, your Aunt Zhou is going to marry a daughter-in-law."

"Auntie Zhou is going to marry her daughter-in-law?" Dongdong raised his head and blinked blankly, "Brother Xiaojun is going to marry Sister Qingyin?"

"Brother Xiaojun is getting married?" Yuanyuan cheered. "Great, great, we can have a feast! I have never had a feast in my life!"

An Hua shook her head. "It's not Xiaojun who's getting married. How old is he? He just joined the army and is still a soldier. It's Aunt Zhou's eldest son Shi Xiaohai who's getting married."

"Shi Xiaohai? I don't know him." Yuanyuan shook her head.

"Don't say you don't know him. I don't know him either. Shi Xiaohai has lived in Yun County for so many years. He hasn't returned home because of the conflict with his father." An Hua said, "But this is not the point. The point is that Aunt Zhou wants to bring her son and daughter-in-law to the provincial capital to have a look and buy some wedding supplies."

"I'll go shopping with Aunt Zhou then!" Yuanyuan raised her hand.

"Okay." An Hua nodded with a smile.

Zhou Meihua arrived soon, followed by a man and two women.

Zhou Meihua introduced: "This is my eldest son Xiaohai. This is your first time meeting him, right? This is my future eldest daughter-in-law, Shuilian."

Shi Xiaohai and Shui Lian quickly called for help.

"Aunt An, I've heard my mother mention you a long time ago, and we finally meet today." Shi Xiaohai smiled and looked gentle. He really didn't look like the kind of person who wouldn't go home for ten years just to be angry.

Shui Lian followed suit and shouted, then lowered her head, looking shy.

Zhou Meihua said to her: "No, Aunt An has been with me for more than ten years, she is not an outsider."

An Hua also said, "Yeah, don't be shy here, just treat it like your own home."

Although she said that, Shui Lian still couldn't lift her head. She could only be seen twisting her fingers nervously.

An Hua and Zhou Meihua looked at each other, feeling helpless.

Zhou Meihua had already said in the letter that Shuilian was introduced to Shi Xiaohai by the battalion commander, Shi Xiaohai's superior. She was the commander's cousin, was born in the countryside, had attended high school, and could be considered an educated youth.

Zhou Meihua didn't really look down on Shuilian. She herself came from the countryside, and before she met Shuilian, she had a special liking for her because of her background.

But after seeing Shuilian, she felt a little disappointed, because Shuilian was not as straightforward and straightforward as she had imagined. She always walked with her head down and counted the rice grains with chopsticks when eating. If she wanted to talk to her, she would just nod and say "hmm"...

But Shi Xiaohai liked it, and Zhou Meihua never said anything.

An Huan no longer looked at Shui Lian, but took Chen Qingyin's hand and asked Chen Qingyin to sit next to her. She smoothed her hair and brushed off the non-existent dust on her body to show her affection.

"It's been a while since we last met, and I feel like you've lost some weight. Did you not eat well?"

"No, Aunt An," Chen Qingyin said with curved eyes, "I've grown taller. I've grown 2cm in the past six months, so I may look thinner."

"Really? That's great. How tall are you now?"

Zhou Meihua happily interrupted, "165cm tall, didn't you notice that her hair is darker? You said before that she was lacking in nutrition, so I spent the whole day thinking about making her some delicious food to supplement her, and it actually worked."

An Hua patted Chen Qingyin's hand and sighed, "Your Aunt Zhou is really good to you."

Chen Qingyin nodded seriously, "Yes, I will definitely be filial to you in the future."

Zhou Meihua was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. "Who needs your filial piety? As long as you are well, Auntie will be happy."

The three of them were chatting happily and gradually put Shi Xiaohai and Shui Lian aside.
