When Shen Mingyou came out with the others pushing their luggage, she spotted her mother-in-law Gu Jin in the crowd.
Shen Mingyou was a little surprised. She had been married to Jiang Chen for five years, and the number of times she had met Gu Jin could be counted on one hand. She knew that her mother-in-law was a scientist obsessed with geological research. Shen Mingyou naturally admired and respected such an outstanding person, including Jiang Chen's father, who was also a person Shen Mingyou respected very much.
Although they didn't meet often, Shen Mingyou would often mention her grandparents to Nian Nian, telling her that her grandparents were both very capable people who had made great contributions to society.
Therefore, whenever Nian Nian mentions her grandparents, she becomes particularly proud.
Shen Mingyou had never thought that Gu Jin would participate in this program. Gu Jin is a geologist and archaeologist who has been engaged in geological exploration and investigation for many years. She loves her career very much. Now she is almost 50 years old, but she still travels all over the world for work and devotes herself to her archaeological work. Because of the special nature of her work, her family often does not know where Gu Jin is. Not to mention Shen Mingyou, the daughter-in-law, even Jiang Chen has a hard time contacting Gu Jin.
So Shen Mingyou was very surprised to see Gu Jin appear at the airport at this moment.
Shen Mingyou went over to her and asked in surprise, "Mom, why are you here?"
If they didn't meet by chance at the airport, there was only one possibility, that Jiang Chen had called Gu Jin back.
Gu Jin smiled slightly and said, "Jiang Chen asked me to come."
Shen Mingyou said inwardly, "As expected."
Shen Mingyou respected her mother-in-law very much, but because she and Gu Jin spent very little time together, in fact, she was not very familiar with her mother-in-law, and Gu Jin was not the type to be familiar with people, so after the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exchanged a few words, they didn't know what to say.
[Why do I feel like there is a lot of estrangement between Shen Mingyou and her mother-in-law?]
[It stands to reason that they haven't seen each other for a long time. They should be very close to each other after finally meeting each other, but they don't seem to be close at all. Is it because the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not good?]
[Can some people stop making random guesses? It's not that they are really close just because they act close. Teacher Gu Jin is a scientist, and you can tell at first glance that she is a very serious and solemn person. Shen Mingyou's way of getting along with her is perhaps the most acceptable to Teacher Gu.]
…
The interaction between Shen Mingyou and Gu Jin was seen by Gu Aife and Xu Shulan who were standing by.
When Xu Shulan first saw Gu Jin, she was not very happy. As soon as Gu Jin appeared, she became the focus of everyone. Not only did the children like to surround her, but even the eyes of the people around her were almost all focused on her.
When Gu Aifei persuaded Xu Shulan to go on the show, she said that Shen Mingyou's mother-in-law would most likely not show up. But now not only did she show up, she also ignored her directly. Xu Shulan almost felt embarrassed.
Until this moment, when she saw that the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seemed to be really bad, she felt a little relieved. As Aifei said, the audience can tell at a glance whether the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is good or not. When there is a comparison, the audience will definitely like her and Gu Aifei, who have a better relationship, than Shen Mingyou and her mother-in-law, who have a bad relationship.
By then, she will naturally regain the face she has lost.
After everyone had gathered, the chief director Wu Li said cheerfully, "First of all, welcome all the grandmothers and mothers to our show. I hope this beautiful island will leave everyone with a wonderful memory."
After the greetings, Wu Li officially announced the tasks. There were already four cars parked in the parking lot, which were prepared for four groups of guests. Each group of guests chose one of the cars. The first person to arrive at the hotel would be able to stay in the hotel's top VIP suite. The second and third guests to arrive could also be allocated to a business suite. As for the last group of guests to arrive, they could only be allocated to an ordinary suite.
Wu Li finally said: "Different standards of service in the hotel are completely different. I hope everyone will do their best and strive to be the first to reach our destination."
Wu Li stepped backstage after he finished speaking. As for the mothers, after they quickly chose the car they wanted to take, they discovered that although each car was equipped with a driver, the driver did not provide any other services besides driving, such as helping to carry luggage.
Guests need to move all their luggage into the trunk by themselves, and only after they have moved their luggage will the driver drive to the hotel.
The mothers were the ones who carried the luggage because the children were too young to help, and as for the mothers-in-law, they would not be allowed to help.
"Mom, your waist is not in good condition. I can move it." Zhong Yao's mother-in-law had a bad waist, so she asked Guo Yinglian to take the child to get in the car first. It was the hottest time of the day, and after staying outside for a while, they were already sweating. There was air conditioning in the car, so Zhong Yao hurriedly urged her mother-in-law to take Zhao Yiyang to get in the car first.
However, Guo Yinglian did not listen to her daughter-in-law. She had a bad back and could not lift heavy objects, but she could still help carry a few small bags into the car. So she asked her grandson Zhao Yiyang to help his mother carry the suitcases, while she was responsible for moving the backpacks into the car.
Zhong Yao couldn't persuade her mother-in-law, so she had to let her do what she wanted. Her mother-in-law always wanted to do everything herself, and would try not to trouble her children if possible. She was so diligent that sometimes even Zhong Yao, the daughter-in-law, felt embarrassed.
[Mother Zhong Yao looks like a simple old country lady. She would feel uncomfortable if she was left alone.]
[It's obvious that Zhong Yao has a very good relationship with her mother-in-law. It's really enviable.]
On the other side, Fang Tang had a lot of luggage. She and her mother worked together to load the luggage into the car. Halfway through, she found that her husband Jiang Xu had turned around and disappeared.
"Mom, where's Xuxu?"
"Look, isn't it right there?" Luo Pei pointed at Shen Mingyou not far away, "Your son is in Cao's camp but his heart is with Han. Your biological mother is like a tigress. He should hurry to find his godmother."
Fang Tang: “…”
[Hahaha, why did Jiang Xiaoxu go to Nian Nian's house again? His grandma found him twice, but he ran away again.]
[Jiang Xiaoxu was with Shen Mingyou when the live broadcast started today. Could he have stayed at Shen Mingyou's house last night? Hahaha, if Fang Tang hadn't been careful, his son would have been kidnapped.]
Shen Mingyou and Nian Nian's suitcases were very heavy. They brought a lot of things with them, including three large suitcases. Shen Mingyou had to carry them to the car by herself. She picked up the heaviest suitcase with both hands, walked down the stairs first, and then moved it step by step to the trunk of the car.
When Shen Mingyou was struggling to move her luggage into the car, she suddenly felt her hand lighten and the suitcase in her hand was snatched away.
It was her mother-in-law Gu who came to help.
Although Gu Jin is almost fifty years old, she has been outside all year round. She has been to the deep sea, giant peaks, primeval forests... There is no place she has not been. Her physique has been well-trained and she is much stronger than young people.
Gu Jin easily carried Shen Mingyou's luggage, which was difficult for her to lift with both hands, into the car with one hand.
Shen Mingyou: “…”
After moving the luggage, Gu Jin turned around and said, "Youyou, it's time for you to exercise."
Nian Nian, who wanted to help but couldn't, heard her grandmother's words and immediately said, "Grandma is right. Every time Dad takes Nian Nian to exercise, Mom always slacks off. This is wrong."
Shen Mingyou scratched Nian Nian's nose and asked, "Is Nian Nian a little snitch?"
Nian Nian covered her nose and said, "Nian Nian is not like that."
"That's right, Nian Nian is not a little snitch." Jiang Xu, who was following her, spoke up for his stepsister. "Only a big snitch can give birth to a little snitch. If Nian Nian is a little snitch, then isn't my stepmother a big snitch?"
Jiang Xu chuckled and said, "My stepmother is not a big snitch, so my stepsister is not a small snitch either."
Nian Nian retorted, "I am not your sister."
Shen Mingyou also said: "I am not your mother either."
Jiang Xu said indifferently: "It doesn't matter. It will definitely be the same in the future anyway."
Jiang Xu didn't care about that. He ran forward to help Gu Jin carry the suitcase. Jiang Xu smiled and said very obediently, "Fuck grandma, Xu Xu will help you."
However, Gu Jin did not need the child's help. She moved the luggage on the ground into the trunk in just a few seconds. Even Shen Mingyou's attempt to lend a hand was rejected by her.
[Did you hear that? Teacher Gu Jin called Shen Mingyou "Youyou". She was so affectionate, just like a mother calling her own daughter.]
[Who said that the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not good? If the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not good, what else can be considered good?]
[Hahaha, Sister Youzi, why don’t you just accept Jiang Xiaoxu as your adopted son? Jiang Xiaoxu is so naughty, but in order to become the adopted son of the Jiang family, he has become so docile, lonely and sweet. I can’t get used to it for a while.]
…
The mothers brought a lot of luggage for this island trip, especially Gu Effie. She has two children, so she already had more stuff than other groups. Now with her mother-in-law's stuff, it was even more.
Xu Shulan is very particular about traveling. She prepares many sets of clothes. In addition to two large suitcases, she also has two large backpacks.
I originally thought that the theme of this trip was a luxury trip and the program crew should provide very thoughtful service to the guests. However, who would have thought that the mothers were simply tricked by the program crew and generally carried much more luggage than the previous recordings of the show.
Gu Aifei looked at the huge pile of luggage at home. She didn't know when she would move by herself, and was thinking about asking her mother-in-law to help. But who would have thought that before she even opened her mouth, Xu Shulan got into the car with the twins.
Gu Aifei: "..."
Gu Aifei could only carry the luggage into the car one by one by herself.
She wiped the sweat off her forehead, turned her head and looked around, and found that Fang Tang, with the help of her mother, was moving the luggage very quickly. Zhong Yao had the least luggage among everyone else, and her mother-in-law didn't even have a suitcase, so she could only fit everything in a simple backpack. Although her mother-in-law had a bad back, she also helped move a few small pieces of luggage to reduce Zhong Yao's burden.
As for Shen Mingyou, she is the most relaxed one among the four daughters-in-law. Her mother-in-law is as careful as a strongman. She carries one suitcase in each hand. Shen Mingyou doesn't even need to do anything. Her mother-in-law can move the luggage by herself.
Gu Aifei: "..."
After moving the luggage, Gu Effie was so tired that her hands were shaking.
Xu Shulan saw that everyone else's car had already left. She rolled down the window and said impatiently, "Effie, hurry up. Everyone else has left. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to choose the presidential suite."
“…”
Gu Effie felt very depressed.
The author has something to say:
It’s another day of writer’s block. I’ve encountered the same situation with my previous books. I would get stuck like crazy when I wrote more than 200,000 words. It was like a curse, so the previous books were not long. Fortunately, they were all finished well in the end.
I will also finish writing this book, but I can't guarantee the update time and word count during the writer's block (but I will try my best to ensure that it is updated continuously, and I will explain it in the copy if I can't update before 10:30 pm). I hope everyone can understand~
