"Big brother! I've missed you so much."
Gu Shaoying jumped directly down the steps of the train.
She excitedly jumped up and down, clinging to Gu Shaoxuan's arm.
Wang Meihua frowned as she watched her daughter skipping and jumping around.
"This child couldn't even say to slow down a bit?"
"Mom, was the journey smooth?"
Gu Shaoxuan walked onto the train, helped his mother carry her suitcase, and then helped her down to ask her questions.
"Smooth sailing. Your little sister and I are in sleeper berths. It's not too crowded. We can rest for a while if we get tired. Shao Xuan, you've gained weight and gotten fairer."
"Mom, it's all thanks to Enruo. She took such good care of me."
"Mom, welcome to Yongning to see us, you and my little sister. Shaoxuan and I have been preparing to welcome you for days."
Xia Enruo stepped forward and said:
"Well, Enruo has changed a lot. She's not only more beautiful, but also more talkative."
Wang Meihua praised him, saying he spoke with a strong Jiangzhe accent.
Seeing Xia Enruo speak so confidently and without any pettiness, Wang Meihua was somewhat surprised.
Moreover, she was dressed very appropriately, almost like a completely different person from when she was newlywed.
If Gu Shaoxuan hadn't been by my side, I really wouldn't have recognized him if we bumped into each other on the street.
She wasn't like this before. She would ask a question, say a few words, and then turn around and leave. Expecting her to take the initiative to speak was harder than climbing to heaven.
"Mom, let's talk about it when we get home. You must be tired from your long journey. Go home and get some rest with your younger sister. Shaoying and sister-in-law will lead the way."
Xia Enruo took the suitcase from Gu Shaoying, then took her hand and led her forward.
Gu Shaoying felt a little awkward at this moment. After all, she and her sister-in-law hadn't had much interaction before, and she really didn't know what to say when they suddenly met.
But today, my sister-in-law really surprised me. Her noble and gentle appearance was more beautiful than any of the female teachers in my school.
No, it should be said that I'm miles ahead of them. I don't like a single thing my sister-in-law wears or has styled her hair.
I really wish she could help me dress up like that too, so I could look like a flower fairy from a fairy tale.
"Shaoxuan, is this still the same Xia Enruo from before? She can even use idioms now! 'Tired from a long journey' actually came out of her mouth. Son, did I hear that right?"
Wang Meihua walked behind her son and asked in a low voice.
"Mom, you heard right, that's what your daughter-in-law said."
"She's really pretty, and speaks very fluently. Could it be that she had some mental issues during her honeymoon?"
"Mom, don't overthink it. Let's go home first."
His mother's words left Gu Shaoxuan speechless, unsure how to respond. How did this bring up mental problems again? What was all this about?
...
Upon entering the compound, Liu Cuiyun saw through the window that four people were carrying luggage and walking into the house.
It was obvious at a glance that Chief of Staff Gu's mother had arrived. The old lady was dressed very elegantly, wearing a brown woolen overcoat that most people couldn't afford.
Her hair was styled in a bun, just like an old lady from a wealthy family in the past.
Liu Cuiyun pushed open the door and went out.
"This must be Chief of Staff Gu's mother, Auntie. Hello."
"Mom, this is Sister-in-law Liu Cuiyun. Her husband and I are comrades-in-arms in the army. We all live in this compound."
"Hello, seeing how well you all get along, we elders are relieved."
"Auntie, we have received a lot of care from Chief of Staff Gu and Xia Xia, and we are truly grateful."
You are welcome to visit our house anytime.
Wang Meihua exchanged a few polite words and then followed Xia Enruo into the house.
This daughter-in-law has changed so much; even the neighbors came out to praise her, saying she's always ready to help others.
I never would have dreamed she could do these things before.
It seems that he has really improved a lot in all aspects since joining the army.
"Mom, Shaoying, please sit on the sofa first. I'll go to the water room to get you some hot water so you can wash up in a bit."
Xia Enruo asked Gu Shaoxuan to pour a cup of hot tea for the two of them. This was a black tea that she had specially brewed before leaving home in the morning, as it could warm the body in winter.
Wang Meihua entered the room and looked around; it was indeed clean and tidy.
The windows were sparkling clean, the room was spotless, and even the tabletop was dust-free under the sunlight.
The air in the room was filled with a dry, fresh fragrance.
This morning was truly an eye-opening experience.
Shao Ying took the teacup from her elder brother and took a small sip.
"Brother, this black tea is really delicious. It's not bitter at all, and it even has a sweet taste. Did your wife make it?"
"Yes, your sister-in-law got up early this morning to make it especially for you and Mom. I've never had the chance to taste it before, but today I'm here to enjoy it for the first time because of you two."
Gu Shaoxuan increasingly felt that Xia Enruo was like a treasure chest, giving him an endless desire to explore.
She always manages to come up with something new and surprising, and I wonder how many more surprises she has in store for me.
"Mom, come and try this tea, it's so delicious!"
Gu Shaoying called for her mother to sit down and handed her the bowl.
Wang Meihua took a sip, and the taste was indeed unique, with the fragrance of black tea and the milky aroma of butter. It was sweet but not cloying, and it warmed her up after drinking it.
"Did Enruo make this?"
"It was made by my sister-in-law. How is it? It tastes good, right?"
"It's quite good. I didn't expect Enruo to have such skillful craftsmanship."
Xia Enruo prepared everything and called her mother-in-law and sister-in-law to wash up. She specially brought out the new towels and soap from the house for the two of them to use.
