"Huh?" Jian Shu was puzzled. "Dad, who's coming?"

Jian Yucheng said casually, "Oh, no one. I just contacted your uncles a while ago and planned to take advantage of the opportunity of celebrating the 100th day of each month to get together. Isn't your Uncle Wei staying on the island? He has a lot of seafood there, so I'll ask him to bring some when he comes."

"???" Jian Shu was shocked. "Dad, why didn't you tell me about this?"

"Didn't I tell you? It's still two months before they arrive. There's no rush."

"..." Jian Shu didn't want to talk to her father about any urgent matters anymore, and hurriedly asked, "Which uncles are there? Is Uncle Zhao coming too? Is Auntie coming too?"

She knew Uncle Wei, one of her father's last surviving brothers. She had only met him a few times when she was a child, but later, like Uncle Qian, his family worked away from home, and she hadn't seen him since. However, the relationship between the two families wasn't distant; they often exchanged letters and gifts on festivals.

Even after her father passed away, they continued to keep in touch; instead, their communication became more frequent. The uncle seemed concerned that she might be wronged, often writing to ask if she was being bullied. If she had any problems, she could call him, and he would support her.

Later, when they got married, they met this uncle again, and he warned Gu Mingjing harshly as a member of his family, leaving him helpless. After all, in terms of relationship, this uncle was actually as close to Jian Yucheng and Gu Zhan, but he stood on the side of his family without hesitation.

Not only him, but Qian Wenhan and others also became his wife's family members.

Jian Yucheng explained, "Not many, just your Uncle Zhao and the other four. As for whether your aunt will come, I don't know. If you want to know, you can write a letter and ask."

Of their old group of brothers, only four are left after so many years. Zhao Mingze and Qian Wenhan are in Beijing and should come together. Gu Zhan is in the south and is the farthest away. Wei Zhou has been on the island for many years.

They are from all over the world and haven't gotten together for many years.

The other comrades left for the time being. After all, this was not his territory, and it would not be appropriate to make too much noise. He would reminisce with them one by one when he returned to Beijing.

I understand from Jianshu that they are all acquaintances, so it will be easy.

"I'll write to my aunt later and ask if she can come." But I took such a long leave last time, I don't know if it will have any impact, Jianshu thought.

Forget it, I'll ask first. There's nothing I can do if she really can't come. After all, work is important, and they have only been separated for a short time.

Jian Yucheng nodded and said, "Besides seafood, do you want to eat anything else? I'll ask your Uncle Wei to bring some."

Since it's cold today, you don't have to worry about it breaking down on the road.

Jian Shu waved his hands, "Anything is fine, I'm not picky!"

"Okay, then I'll let him take care of it."

"Dad, then tell me what Uncle Wei likes to eat so I can prepare it in advance. If it's out of stock, I have to buy it in advance." Jian Shu began to think about the dishes for the hundred-day banquet.

Uncles and aunts had come from far and wide, so apart from anything else, they had to be treated to delicious food and drinks. After all, who would travel thousands of miles for a phone call if they weren't close friends? They were all very busy people!

"They're not picky; they'll eat anything. Their favorite is meat. I'll just buy some more meat later. Your Uncle Wei has been on the island all these years, so he must be craving meat even more." Jian Yucheng knew the appetites of those big eaters all too well. What's the point of liking or not? As long as it's edible, they'll eat it. After all, when they were starving back then, what didn't they eat?

Of course, if we talk about my favorite food, it must be meat. Nowadays, who doesn’t like to eat meat?

After figuring out the appetites of several people, Jian Yucheng decided to find a way. How could the little bit of meat available on the surface be enough for them to eat?

Jianshu immediately raised his hand and said, "Dad, you don't need to buy meat. I have all kinds of meat in my space. Just leave it to me!" Why spend that money when you already have it at home? Even if you have money, you can't just make it up like that.

Jian Yucheng was distracted. He had forgotten about this, but it was not his fault. Who could get used to it so quickly? Moreover, because he was worried about the matter being leaked, he tried to ignore it in his heart and did not mention it.

Seeing his daughter's enthusiasm, Jian Yucheng smiled and said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. I'll prepare the rest."

"Dad, no need. Besides meat, I also have vegetables, eggs and so on. No need to prepare, just take them out and use them directly. I have wine too. In the past few years, I exchanged a lot of good homemade wines with others. They are all aged and taste very good. In addition, I also brewed fruit wine myself, which is enough to drink!" Jian Shu waved his hand and took all the ingredients directly.

Jian Yucheng's eyes twitched slightly, and he said in a low voice, "You've been to the black market a lot these years, haven't you?"

He knew from a young age that his daughter liked to hide things, such as her favorite pencils, notebooks, toys, flowers and grass picked from the roadside, etc. No matter how strange they were, she would bring them all home.

In the past, we could only hide them in boxes because of the limited capacity. Now that we have space, we can definitely do whatever we want.

"Hehe——" Jianshu touched his nose and smiled awkwardly.

As expected of her father, he understands her.

Jian Yucheng sighed helplessly, "Okay, if you want something in the future, just tell dad and I'll get it for you. Don't go there, it's too dangerous." People make mistakes, horses stumble, who knows if something will happen?

"Don't worry, Dad. I've been very well behaved these past few years and haven't been there in a long time." Jian Shu quickly agreed. For her, the reason she went there in the beginning was largely because it was new to her, and then she wanted to make some money.

After all, she thought she was not the original owner at the time, so she was eager to earn some money that belonged to "herself", otherwise she would feel guilty about spending it.

But as my memory gradually returned, that guilty feeling faded. The novelty of the black market also wore off, so I went there less and less often.

"Well, keep it up. Don't keep saving the money in your passbook. Take it out and spend it. Dad can earn money. My salary will increase when I go back this time. I will give it all to you and Yi Yi." Jian Yucheng encouraged his daughter.

He only has this one precious daughter, and in the future he will have only one granddaughter. These are the only two people connected to him by blood, and everything he has will belong to her in the future.

"Dad, it's not that I'm frugal, but I really don't have any money to spend. Eating and drinking doesn't cost much on a daily basis. My aunts often send me clothes and other things, and occasionally buying some fabric doesn't cost much. I can't even spend all of Gu Mingjing's salary in a year. I haven't even used the salary I earned from working for the past few years and Gu Mingjing's savings, let alone our family's savings."

If you don’t count, you won’t know. Once you count on Jianshu, you will find that she has saved so much without realizing it.

Of course, the inheritance was the bulk of it, not to mention the bankbooks. Even more valuable items were still in the box. Many of them couldn't be simply quantified in monetary terms.

But they are all treasures!
