On January 18, 1978, the two officially became a couple.
"Come on, I'll take you out for a big meal to celebrate." Shang Ziming got out of the car and moved to the driver's seat, letting Su Xiao sit in the passenger seat.
Upon hearing that it was a big meal, Su Xiao immediately became interested and eagerly inquired about it.
Shang Ziming was very cooperative, and the two chatted amiably. They had already decided on the dishes before even arriving at their destination.
The car drove smoothly into a large compound.
The compound has high-end and complete living facilities. It also has a state-run restaurant, but it has more and more signature dishes than the restaurants outside.
Su Xiao was amazed the whole way.
The car stopped in front of a red square building.
"We've arrived." Shang Ziming led Su Xiao inside.
"Brother Mu." Fang Minghao was very surprised to see Shang Zimu. Why was he back at this time?
Then he saw the woman beside him, "Xiaoxiao?"
Fang Minghao stood up in surprise, almost bumping into the table. "Xiaoxiao, why didn't you tell me you were coming to Kyoto? I would have come to pick you up."
After they left, they all kept in touch, and every time Su Xiao sent agricultural products, Fang Minghao and Cheng Jiulang would always receive a share.
"I just arrived not long ago either." Su Xiao smiled, in a good mood upon seeing familiar faces. "Where's Brother Jiulang?"
She looked at Fang Minghao's table; Cheng Jiulang wasn't there.
“Xiao Jiu is in the army; he’s always been with Brother Mu,” Fang Minghao explained, then looked at Shang Ziming, “Brother Mu, come sit with us? Introduce him to the brothers?”
Fang Minghao winked mischievously, a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Although Shang Ziming looked down on his foolish appearance, he was very satisfied with his suggestion and led Su Xiao to the table.
"Brother Mu."
"Third Uncle."
The people at the table had already stood up; there were eight of them in total, and they were addressed differently by various names.
"A get-together?" Shang Ziming had no intention of introducing them one by one, feeling it was unnecessary for his little girl to bother remembering all these people.
"Yes, Hongjun and Taozi got into university. Let's celebrate for them."
Shang Ziming looked at the two younger men and said, "Very good, congratulations."
"Thank you, thank you, Uncle San." Fang Hongjun and Qi Tao thanked him excitedly. To receive a word of praise from Uncle San made today worthwhile.
"Brother Mu, please sit down." Qi Shengli made way for Shang Zimu to sit with him.
"No need." Shang Ziming said with some pride, taking Su Xiao's hand and raising it, "My little girl has also been admitted to university. I've already booked a private room. We can get together again next time."
After exchanging pleasantries, Su Xiao didn't say a word, only smiling throughout.
"Xiaoxiao got into university? Congratulations! I knew Xiaoxiao was amazing, and sure enough..." Fang Minghao said with pride.
He then introduced her to everyone, saying, "This is Su Xiaoxiao, a younger sister I met when we were sent to the countryside. Everyone, keep your eyes open and be careful when you meet her in the future, so she doesn't get bullied."
"Sister-in-law." Qi Shengli, with his sharp eyes, had noticed Mu Ge's dislike of the girl early on and greeted her tactfully.
With him taking the lead, people immediately started calling her "sister-in-law" and a few "third aunt," which made Su Xiao feel uneasy.
No, I am not.
Su Xiao hurriedly denied it, but when it had no effect, she pinched the flesh on the back of his hand hard, signaling him to explain.
She didn't hold back at all, which shows how urgent she was.
Shang Ziming silently endured it, then explained, "Alright, we just started dating, we haven't reached that stage yet, so don't make a fuss."
