"Yue Ling, when it comes to your taste in choosing a daughter-in-law, I have to admire you."
"Where did you find this wife? Not only is she beautiful, but she's also good at handling things. The key is that she's poised and confident in front of everyone, without any stage fright."
After a few words, Mrs. Huo couldn't stop smiling.
"Sigh, that's the only good thing about my third son; he found me a good daughter-in-law."
However, she couldn't just be happy herself; she had to make others happy too.
Huo's mother immediately spoke up, "Your daughter-in-law is also very considerate. I remember when you were sick last time, she was running around taking care of you and stayed with you in the hospital for several days."
"That's true. My sons are so busy that you can't even find them."
"If you ask me, you still have to rely on your daughter-in-law when it comes down to it."
Mrs. Huo smiled and nodded repeatedly, "That's right, that's right."
Next, the two mothers went into overdrive, showering the audience with praise.
The journey to the city center was anything but boring, except that the Princess Tomb area is currently under subway construction, making the roads bumpy and difficult to navigate.

In the morning, they strolled around Qianmen Dashilan, and then visited the Great Hall of the People, including the Great Hall for 10,000 people and the banquet halls of various provinces.

However, this regret was soon made up for at the Forbidden City and the square.
In just one morning, the four of them used up two rolls of film.
It was almost midnight when we left the Forbidden City.
Jiang Si found a well-established roast duck restaurant nearby, which was none other than the famous Quanjude in later generations.
However, due to the public-private partnership, it has now been renamed Beijing Roast Duck Restaurant.
Furthermore, the private dining rooms have been removed and the entire space has been converted into a large dining hall for workers, peasants, and soldiers.
After a satisfying meal, the group took a stroll around Beihai Park in the afternoon.
After that, we went to the Temple of Heaven.
It has to be said that there are just too many places to visit in Beijing.
On the way back, Grandma Huo said excitedly, "Tomorrow we'll climb Fragrant Hills and then go boating at the Summer Palace."
"We're going to climb the Great Wall the day after tomorrow. Oh, and I heard that the Capital Theatre is showing a lot of new model operas and puppet shows. We can go and see them together then."
Jiang Si had no objections, but Huo's mother did.
Huo's mother was worried. What would happen when her third son came back if they went to all the good food and fun places in Beijing?
Wouldn't the young couple then have nowhere to go?
Just as she was thinking this, Jiang Si slammed on the brakes and brought the car to a steady stop at the entrance of the family compound.
