Mu Chenze's lips curled up. "Of course I heard your name being called from the village loudspeaker. I guessed it was Mom calling, so I came here to wait for you. What time will Mom and the others arrive?"
Chu Xuan didn't expect him to say "our mother" so pleasantly. "Come to our village after eleven o'clock. Uncle Wu's mother will also be there. Our mother told us to call her Grandma Huang or Grandma."
Chu Xuan understood why her mother gave her the opportunity to choose her name, because she was worried that she wouldn't be able to accept it so she just called her grandma.
Mu Chenze also understood this. "Great! This shows that the Wu family values our mother, and us as well. We have to call her grandma! How close is that? Do they have any dietary restrictions?"
"Then call her grandma. They don't have any dietary restrictions, and grandma loves seafood."
"What we have here is plenty of seafood. How about having lunch at my house?"
"Let's have lunch here first, and then we'll go to your house for dinner, okay?"
"Okay. I'll bring the seafood over later."
"Thanks for your hard work!"
"What's so hard about this? I'm having fun entertaining my mother-in-law and her family!"
"Remember to invite everyone in the family to come over for lunch."
"Of course everyone has to come. We're entertaining our distinguished guests, so the whole family should be here. Get in the car, I'll take you home first."
"good."
At around ten thirty in the morning, a black car stopped in front of the county guesthouse.
Wu Bingcheng and his wife were already waiting here.
Wu Bingcheng stepped forward and opened the back door. "Mom, do you want to get out of the car and go to the restroom?"
Mrs. Wu said sternly, "I've already been there halfway. Put your luggage in the trunk and get in the car!"
"good."
After a while, they put their luggage away and prepared to get on the bus.
Wu Bingcheng pointed to the passenger seat and motioned Tian Xiaoyun to sit in the front.
After all, his mother usually doesn't like to sit in the same row with his wife.
Tian Xiaoyun glanced at her mother-in-law.
Old Madam Wu patted the seat next to her and said, "Xiaoyun, sit here."
"Okay, Mom."
Tian Xiaoyun sat in the back seat with a gentle smile on her face.
Wu Bingcheng sat in the passenger seat and almost at the same time he and Tian Xiaoyun greeted the driver, Uncle Zhang. Uncle Zhang responded with a smile and started the car.
Old Mrs. Wu handed Tian Xiaoyun a jewelry box, 20 cm long, 10 cm wide and 10 cm high.
"Since you married into the Wu family, I haven't given you a wedding gift, so I'll make up for it today. The things inside are all family heirlooms. Isn't Xiaoxuan getting engaged? You can let her pick out two pieces."
Tian Xiaoyun's eyes reddened, "Thank you, Mom!"
This is the first time I have received a gift from my mother-in-law in all the years since I married into the Wu family.
This was all the reputation that Xiaoxuan and her brother earned for her.
Otherwise, her mother-in-law wouldn't even raise her eyelids to look at her.
Wu Bingcheng was happy for his wife.
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether he has descendants or not. After all, his eldest brother has three sons, enough to inherit everything from the Wu family.
In the past, he wanted to treat Xiaoxuan and his sister as his own children, but his mother always stopped him.
Now it seems that my mother is not going to stop me anymore.
He followed up with, "Thank you, Mom!"
Old Madam Wu snorted. "You two don't need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Xiaoxuan. It's Xiaoxuan who earned you both such great reputations. Have you ever seen someone so young become a millionaire solely on their own? Xiaoxuan did it! It's true that you two have made a lot of money, but that was all built on the foundation of your family. Xiaoxuan is different. She started from scratch. Not only is she good at making money, she's also a good person. I heard that the grilled fish fillet factory in her village was built by her, and she helped the villagers get rich together. You won't find a granddaughter like her anywhere else!"
The Wu family has no shortage of sons and grandsons, but they lack daughters.
Tian Xiaoyun was very happy with her mother-in-law's high evaluation of Xiaoxuan.
Wu Bingcheng also praised Xiaoxuan several times and praised several of his nephews, which made Mrs. Wu in a good mood.
Tian Xiaoyun also said a few words from time to time.
The atmosphere was good along the way.
This was the most harmonious relationship Tian Xiaoyun had with her mother-in-law since she married into the Wu family.
This time, Mrs. Wu took the initiative to ask about her health, "Xiao Yun, how is your recovery going?"
Tian Xiaoyun smiled and replied, "I've recovered about 80% to 90%. The doctor said if I take good care of myself this winter, I'll be fully recovered next spring."
Wu Bingcheng took the opportunity to say, "The doctor also said it's best to sleep on a kang in winter. Xiaoxuan's family happens to have a kang, and I want to spend the winter here with Xiaoyun. Mom, can you please not assign me any work this winter?"
Mrs. Wu was in a rare good mood. "Then I won't assign you any work for now."
"Mom, you're the most understanding mom in the world! I love you so much!"
Even though Wu Bingcheng is in his forties, he can still say sweet words to his mother, which makes old lady Wu even happier.
Tian Xiaoyun was grateful to her husband from the bottom of her heart.
At that time, Mrs. Wu firmly opposed her marriage.
Wu Bingcheng used his eloquence to persuade his mother to marry Tian Xiaoyun.
Only then did Tian Xiaoyun have the opportunity and financial resources to undergo surgery.
It was Wu Bingcheng's mediation that ensured that over the years, no matter how much her mother-in-law disliked her, she did not force them to separate.
Tian Xiaoyun was also very grateful to the Wu family. Without this strong backing, she and her husband would not have been able to earn enough money to pay for such high surgery fees in a few years.
The closer they got to Nanyu Village, the more nervous Tian Xiaoyun became.
I haven't seen my two children for many years. I felt so guilty that I didn't know how to face them.
Her hands kept moving over the jewelry box.
Mrs. Wu placed her hand on the back of her hand and comforted her, "You have to trust your children. They won't embarrass you, nor will they embarrass Bingcheng and me."
According to her nephew, Xiaoxuan and his brother are very polite.
Tian Xiaoyun gave her mother-in-law a grateful smile. "I'm not as clear-headed as you are. After your guidance, I've figured out a lot."
The tension in my heart disappeared instantly, leaving only the anticipation of meeting.
At exactly eleven o'clock, Chu Xuan's siblings and Mu Chenze pushed their bicycles and stood at the entrance of the village, looking into the distance from time to time.
After a while, a black car was seen approaching.
Tian Xiaoyun recognized Xiaoxuan and his sister from a distance.
Even though Xiao Xuan had suffered a lot and Xiao Feng had grown a lot taller, she still recognized him at a glance.
"It's Xiaofeng and Xiaoxuan."
The car slowly stopped beside Chu Xuan and the others.
Tian Xiaoyun and Wu Bingcheng got out of the car almost at the same time and greeted them.
As soon as Chu Xuan saw Tian Xiaoyun, tears started streaming down her face. She quickly walked over and hugged her tightly.
"Mom, it's great that we can meet again!"
Tian Xiaoyun's eyes were blurred with tears, "Xiao Xuan, I finally see you!"
Chu Feng also wanted to hug his mother, but thinking that he was a man, he was too embarrassed to go forward. Instead, he took the initiative to greet Wu Bingcheng, "Hello, Uncle Wu!"
Mu Chenze also stepped forward, "Hello, Uncle Wu!"
After saying that, he greeted Old Lady Wu, "Hello, Grandma!"
With a sunny smile, showing white teeth, and a voice as sweet as the melodious sound of a violin.
This reminded Mrs. Wu of her beloved eldest grandson.
"Okay! The young man's name is Chen Ze, right?"
"Yes, grandma. Can I call the elder driving in front uncle?"
"You can't call me uncle. According to seniority, you have to call me Grandpa Zhang."
"Hello, Grandpa Zhang!"
After a few words, Mu Chenze closed the distance between himself and Old Lady Wu and her group.
Little did he know that Old Lady Wu had already hired someone to investigate him.
Otherwise, she wouldn't give him the chance to call her grandma...
