Not long after, a jeep hurriedly drove away from the research institute's gate, carrying Sun Zhengguo and his group.
After leaving the gate, the car first went to Zhou Weimin's house to pick up his son Zhou Chengdong, and then drove to the courtyard house.
Throughout the journey, everyone in the car chatted excitedly, except for Zhou Weimin, who seemed a little downcast.
Because everyone else on the bus was alright, even Yu Li had met Sun Dajiang a few times.
But the only problem is that I've never met him, and I don't know if this father-in-law is easy to get along with.
"Honey, how about I get off the bus and buy something? It might not be appropriate to go empty-handed."
Sun Zhenghong understood her husband's thoughts, but there was really no need to care about these things at this moment.
"Weimin, let's skip it today. I haven't seen my dad for years, and I really don't have the time right now. Why don't you make it up to me next time?"
What could Zhou Weimin say after hearing what his wife said?
Now he can only take it one step at a time. He doesn't believe that his father-in-law would eat him alive, even though he already has a child. Even if he has objections, he can only keep them to himself.
Sun Zhengguo chuckled inwardly when he saw his brother-in-law's expression.
You know, when Sun Dajiang was at home, this daughter was his favorite. Now that his little darling is getting married, I wonder what he will think?
Now, let alone Zhou Weimin, anyone would feel a little uneasy.
Soon, the car arrived at the entrance of the courtyard house, and everyone got out and hurriedly walked into the courtyard.
"Jung-guk, you came so fast! You must have taken time off work just to see your dad, right?"
Sun Zhengguo smiled when he saw the several middle-aged women sitting at the door.
"Several aunties are here! My dad hasn't been home for years, and as his son, shouldn't I take time off to visit him?"
"Of course, of course. Among the people in the courtyard, Zheng Guo is the most filial."
Sun Zhengguo had no time to listen to the flattery of the older women. After a quick greeting, he and his group walked into the courtyard.
Soon, when they arrived at the door, they discovered that the room was already full of people.
It seems like everyone who was supposed to come has already arrived, except for us few.
When Sun Dajiang saw his son return, he immediately stood up and called out towards the door.
"son…"
Hearing his father call out, Sun Zhengguo stopped in his tracks.
Then, looking at his father's face, marked by the unique wind and sand of Northwest China, he felt a strange pang of sadness.
Then, he opened his arms and said emotionally, "Dad, welcome home."
Without hesitation, Sun Dajiang quickly stepped forward and gave his son a big hug.
Although he hasn't been back for long today, he has learned a lot through this time.
Since he left home, the Sun family has not only remained unaffected, but has become even more prosperous than before.
All of this is because he has a good son. It is under his guidance that we have achieved such a great situation today.
A moment later, the father and son let go of each other. Sun Dajiang patted his son on the shoulder and said with great satisfaction.
"Zhengguo, you're great! Dad wants to thank you for taking such good care of this family, so that I won't have any regrets."
"Dad, what are you saying? Do we need to be so polite between father and son? Shouldn't I be the one to shoulder these responsibilities after you're gone?"
After listening to his son's words, Sun Dajiang felt that they made some sense.
But to his surprise, Sun Zhengguo changed the subject and continued.
"Dad, but we have a deal. Now that you're back, you'll be in charge from now on. You can't go back on your word."
"Hahaha……!"
Hearing the family laughing, Sun Dajiang pointed at his son and pretended to be angry.
"You brat, can't you be a little more composed? You're a department-level cadre, and a father of two."
Seeing that his father's act was quite convincing, Sun Zhengguo didn't care at all, but instead showed a smug look on his face.
“I can’t be composed in front of you. Besides, you call me a brat, and that feeling comes from you.”
"this…?"
Sun Dajiang was speechless for a moment. He even raised his arm to smell it, but it didn't seem to smell that strong.
"Hehehe!" Lin Wencui, who was standing next to her husband, laughed unkindly when she saw his expression.
Because Sun Dajiang did have a smell, but she could understand it.
Given the environment in Northwest China, it's hard to say how often you can take a shower, especially considering the few days you've spent traveling back.
It would be strange if someone didn't smell!
After arguing with his son, it was time to talk about his brothers.
Sun Dahe always respected his elder brother, so the two brothers got along quite well, which taught everyone present what true brotherly love and respect really meant.
He then comforted his daughter. Seeing her crying so hard, Sun Dajiang felt bad too, and it took him a long time to calm her down.
Then there's Yu Li. As his daughter-in-law and a contributor to the Sun family's prosperity, Sun Dajiang naturally wanted to encourage her and even gave her a red envelope.
Zhou Weimin was the last to step forward; he had been too embarrassed to move forward earlier because he felt guilty.
However, he came prepared this time. He was holding the hostage, his son Zhou Chengdong, and was carefully greeting him.
"Dad, my name is Zhou Weimin, your son-in-law. This is your grandson, Zhou Chengdong."
"Um!"
Sun Dajiang gave a casual reply, then picked up his grandson and naturally began to pat his pockets.
"Dad, Chengdong is still too young to eat candy."
Sun Dajiang was taken aback by his son-in-law's words, but since the candy had already been taken out, he wouldn't put it back.
"Don't get me wrong, here's some candy for you, take it."
Seeing the few pieces of candy his father-in-law insisted on giving him, Zhou Weimin was both amused and exasperated.
But what can you do? What could your father-in-law possibly have done wrong?
"Thank you, Dad!"
Seeing his son-in-law's fearful and apprehensive appearance, and then looking at his adorable little grandson in his arms, Sun Dajiang's heart softened, and he decided not to scare him any further.
"Please take this; it's a small token of my appreciation!"
Seeing the red envelope handed over by his father-in-law, Zhou Weimin finally felt relieved.
That's really not easy; it means his father-in-law has already approved of him.
"Thank you, Dad." Zhou Weimin happily accepted the red envelope.
Actually, Sun Dajiang also thought highly of Zhou Weimin. He was just a little unaccustomed to it. He had just returned home when his little darling was lost. Can you imagine how upset he was?
Seeing the family reunited and everyone happy, Sun Zhengguo cherishes this moment very much.
Seeing that it was almost noon and there were too many people here, with nowhere to even put his feet down, he made a suggestion.
"Dad, why don't we go to the courtyard? There's a big wooden tub there where you can take a bath, and we'll have a place to eat. It'll be a good opportunity to celebrate."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Sun Dajiang agreed without even thinking.
Before going, however, he had to hand over the money and tickets in his bag to his wife for safekeeping.
"Dajiang, why are there so many? Haven't you been useful these past few years?"
Lin Wencui looked at the stacks of ten-yuan bills and so many receipts on the table with disbelief.
"Hey! What am I supposed to do with it?! Do you expect me to buy sand?"
"Cough cough cough! Dad..."
Fearing his father might let something slip, Sun Zhengguo quickly reminded him.
"Oh! What I mean is, the factories over there have everything, and I have money but nowhere to spend it."
Sun Dajiang quickly used other words to cover up his embarrassment.
Even though everyone present was family, he couldn't reveal anything about the base.
Lin Wencui had guessed what was going on by now and dared not ask any more questions.
They simply put away the money and tickets, packed a change of clothes, locked the door, and then the family left the courtyard.
