After finishing discussing work, Yin Changshou brought up personal matters. As soon as this question was raised, both the mother and daughter who were listening to their conversation looked up. When Ying Jiao heard her father ask this question, her face instantly burned, and the blush even spread to her neck.
Liu Xiangjun blushed slightly when he heard that his teacher had suddenly switched to this place, but he did not avoid the question and nodded in response to Yin Changshou's question.
"Teacher, the tickets have been bought. I plan to take Jiaojiao back by plane during the May Day holiday. After all, although the May Day holiday is so long, it's too tiring to take the train. It's more comfortable to fly. This is also my mom's idea."
Hearing Liu Xiangjun say this, Yin Changshou and his wife nodded. It wasn't that they were carefree or worried about their daughter going back with Liu Xiangjun; it was just that the two families were almost at the point of discussing marriage, and the couple had already met Liu Xiangjun's grandmother and great-aunt's family. They had even met Liu Xiangjun's mother. When the two of them confirmed their relationship, they had already told their families, and Liu Xiangjun's mother, Wu Qiaoqiao, had flown over at that time.
That meeting completely put Yin Changshou and his wife at ease. They hadn't known Wu Qiaoqiao was coming that day. After arriving, Wu Qiaoqiao called Liu Xiangjun and asked him to bring Yin Jiao out for dinner. That evening, when Yin Jiao returned, she was carrying two large boxes. When Yin Changshou and his wife opened the boxes, they found two sets of headdresses inside—yes, the kind of headdresses you see every day. One set was silver, with silver bracelets and earrings that could be worn casually. The other set was an exquisitely crafted gold-inlaid jade headdress.
The couple was relieved to see this. It wasn't that they were greedy for any bargains, but seeing such a satisfactory gift meant that Wu Qiaoqiao was satisfied with their daughter. This meant that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would not be difficult in the future. After all, marriage is not just a matter between two people, but between two families.
Wu Qiaoqiao also arranged to meet the couple for a talk. It was during this meeting that the two learned about their family situation. It turned out that Liu Xiangjun and his sister were not Wu Qiaoqiao's biological children, but Liu Mingfeng's brother's children. The couple, Yin Changshou and his wife, thought that Liu Xiangjun's grandmother was someone else, but it turned out that she was just Liu Mingfeng's fifth aunt. However, after seeing how the family got along, Yin Changshou and his wife were completely relieved.
Seeing the lively and cheerful old lady and Liu Xiangjun's achievements, even without seeing his sister Liu Xiangqin, one can tell that Wu Qiaoqiao and her husband treated them like their own children, treating them equally. Otherwise, Liu Xiangjun would not have achieved such success.
Although since that meeting, Wu Qiaoqiao has only occasionally had meals with her two families when she comes here for various reasons, Zhao Xiuxiang and Lin Yuwei's families, who stay here, always invite Yin Changshou and his wife when they go out to eat or play. After spending time together like this, Yin Changshou and his wife feel more at ease.
During the May Day holiday, Liu Mingfeng had originally planned to spend some time in Beijing with Yin Jiao. However, Wu Qiaoqiao called early on and asked Liu Xiangjun to bring Yin Jiao to their place. Since Liu Mingfeng had received news that he would be transferred elsewhere later this year, Wu Qiaoqiao wanted Liu Xiangjun to visit Yin Jiao while they were still there. They had also invited Yin Changshou and his wife, but although it was the May Day holiday, both of them were teachers and had some things to finish, so they were both unavailable. Therefore, Yin Jiao and Liu Xiangjun went instead.
Now that Ouyang Lan heard Liu Xiangjun say that he had already bought the plane tickets, she asked Liu Xiangjun.
"Is it just the two of you? Where's your grandma? Is she coming over there with you this time?"
“My grandma said she won’t go this time, and that we should have fun. She doesn’t like flying; she always feels unsafe swaying in mid-air. As for taking the train, although there are sleeper berths, she’s too old to handle the slight noises on the train.”
Yin Changshou and his wife nodded in agreement. Although the old lady was in good health and would sometimes climb ahead of them when they went to climb the Great Wall, she was over 80 years old and no longer young, so she really couldn't travel around anymore.
As the four chatted and ate, the dishes on the table gradually decreased, and they finished eating. Lie Xiangjun and Yin Jiao cleaned up the dishes, while Yin Changshou and his wife finished eating. Ouyang Lan was about to clean up afterward, but the two young people made the couple sit on the sofa and rest.
Yin Changshou and his wife sat on the sofa, sipping jasmine tea, watching the two young people tidy up. They carried the dishes to the kitchen, Liu Xiangjun washed them, and Yin Jiao dried them with a cloth before putting them in the cupboard. After that, Liu Xiangjun mopped the kitchen floor, then went to the living room and mopped the dining table area. Once everything was clean, he sat down on the sofa. Of course, Yin Jiao had already been ushered to the sofa by Liu Xiangjun while he was mopping.
After Liu Xiangjun sat down, just as he was about to start talking, his phone rang. Liu Xiangjun took out his phone and saw that the name on the screen was Yuanyuan. He knew who was calling. Sure enough, when he pressed the answer button, he heard a clear girl's voice.
"Brother, brother, what are you doing? My mom said she's inviting your future in-laws to dinner tonight, did you tell her?"
"I was just about to say something when you called. By the way, are you still at Uncle's shop?"
"Yes, yes, it's still at your second great-uncle's shop. Don't forget, be there at 4:30 this afternoon. Your great-uncle and his family are preparing Buddha Jumps Over the Wall today, so be sure to get there early."
Liu Xiangjun smiled when he heard the voice coming from inside. The girl was Lin Yuwei and Feng Minghao's youngest daughter. She and her brother Tuantuan were twins, a boy and a girl, and they were now 13 years old. She was a clever and mischievous little girl.
Because Liu Xiangjun had the phone on speakerphone, the other three people present also heard the voices coming from the other end. Yin Changshou and his wife also heard the little girl's voice, and both of them smiled upon hearing it. They really liked Lin Yuwei's twins; their clever and mischievous nature made them a little envious. However, thinking about the Liu family's strong genes, they figured they might be able to hold twin grandsons or granddaughters someday.
