Lu Ting felt that his little sister had little hearts in her eyes.
His wife is indeed popular wherever she goes.
He smiled helplessly: "Do you think your fourth brother is the kind of irresponsible person?"
Realizing she had said the wrong thing, Lu Jianyue touched her head sheepishly.
"Oh dear, I'm sorry, Fourth Brother. I got carried away and misspoke."
Lu Jianyue's gaze then fell on Su Miaoyan's back.
Somewhat puzzled: "Who are these two...?"
She felt that the two of them must have extraordinary backgrounds.
The two elderly people looked ordinary, but their demeanor was completely different.
It has a feeling of... a scholarly family.
Lu Ting introduced, "These are your uncle and aunt."
Lu Jianyue immediately reacted and shouted, "Hello, Uncle! Hello, Aunt!"
Bian Qihua and Wenrou both thought the girl was extremely cute.
A smile appeared on his wrinkled face: "Okay!"
Not far away, Xu Hongmei and the others, who saw Lu Jianyue running over, also turned their attention to the people in front of Lu Jianyue.
When Xu Hongmei heard Lu Jianyue call the other party "Fourth Brother", she subconsciously peeked out to look.
Then they saw Lu Jianyue talking to a black lump of coal.
She narrowed her eyes slightly: "Why did this girl suddenly run over and call for Fourth Brother? And why is she talking to a coal miner?"
Lu Changzheng patted her shoulder helplessly: "This is our fourth son, Xiao Ting!"
"ah?!!"
Xu Hongmei quickened her pace and finally got a clear look at Lu Ting's appearance.
How come you've gotten so tanned after not seeing me for more than half a year?
Actually, Lu Ting wasn't that dark-skinned; it was just that Su Miaoyan next to him was so fair that it made him look darker.
Xu Hongmei quickly spat out a few words and hurried over to Lu Jianyue's side.
When she saw Lu Ting, her eyes involuntarily reddened.
"Xiao Ting, you're back?"
Lu Changzheng stood beside him, watching him quietly.
The family only sees each other a few times a year, and now that they've finally come back, it makes me miss them terribly.
Just as Lu Ting was about to answer, he saw Xu Hongmei smile and shift her gaze to Su Miaoyan.
When he saw the face of his fourth daughter-in-law clearly, he was shocked.
How can there be girls in this world who are born looking like fairies?!
Not only Xu Hongmei was stunned, but Lu Changzheng, Lu Weiguo, Lu Baojia and others were also dumbfounded.
It's not that they're unsophisticated...
Well, they certainly haven't seen much of the world.
However, these fourth sister-in-laws were far too beautiful; they had never seen such a pretty girl before.
Wang Shuli and Li Yuerou exchanged a glance, both seeing envy in each other's eyes.
This city girl, a cultured person, is truly different.
Her skin glowed like milk.
Her face was beautiful and charming. If one didn't know that she was in Anlan Village, they would probably think it was a fairy palace.
Feeling a little ashamed, I touched my face.
I felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
I wonder if my fourth sister-in-law will look down on them.
Li Yuerou was also a little uneasy.
It was her idea to have her eldest brother accompany her sister-in-law. I wonder if her fourth sister-in-law will be angry when she sees that her eldest brother and sister-in-law didn't come.
Lu Jianyue skipped over to Su Miaoyan's side. Seeing that everyone was just as stunned as she had been, she proudly raised her head and said, "Hehe, Mom, Dad, Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law, Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law, Fourth Sister-in-law, aren't you beautiful?!"
A seemingly nonsensical sentence brought everyone back to their senses.
Xu Hongmei was satisfied with everything Su Miaoyan looked at, so of course she wouldn't be dissatisfied with the daughter-in-law Lu Ting had chosen.
She believed that her son was a man of his own mind.
Su Miaoyan felt a little embarrassed by the stares. She nodded, then withdrew her words about her aunt and uncle, and called out somewhat shyly, "Mom, Dad."
He then looked at Wang Shuli, Lu Weiguo, Lu Baojia, and others: "Second brother, second sister-in-law, third brother, third sister-in-law."
Her voice was sweet, not at all shrewish.
And because she had never experienced hardship, her voice was soft.
Everyone was speaking loudly, and for a moment, no one knew how to react.
Li Yuerou was the first to show goodwill, replying, "Fourth sister-in-law."
The others then realized what was happening and gave her a welcoming smile, calling her "Fourth Sister-in-law."
At this moment, Bian Qihua and Wenrou, who were standing nearby, saw Xu Hongmei and the others and took the opportunity to get closer to them.
"Hello, are you my in-laws' mother?"
Bian Qihua then looked at Lu Changzheng: "This must be my father-in-law, right?"
Bian Qihua fought on the battlefield in his early years, and his imposing presence was quite intimidating. Wenrou, on the other hand, lived up to his name, being gentle, kind, knowledgeable, and polite, exuding a scholarly air.
Lu Changzheng and Xu Hongmei were both taken aback when they heard this form of address.
This is……
Lu Ting explained, "Mom, I was so focused on telling you the date I was coming back when I wrote the letter that I forgot to tell you that your parents were also coming."
Xu Hongmei and Lu Changzheng suddenly realized.
Lu Jianyue looked at Wenrou and Bian Qihua from the side, and for some reason, she felt that Wenrou and Bian Qihua looked more and more familiar.
It's like I've seen it somewhere before.
But I just can't remember it right now.
Xu Hongmei quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands and shook hands with Wenrou and Bian Qihua in return: "Hello, dear, father-in-law and mother-in-law."
In their rural area, they usually address each other as "brother" or "sister," so using terms like "father-in-law" and "mother-in-law" feels a bit strange.
Xu Hongmei didn't know much about Su Miaoyan's family, only that she was a rich young lady from the city.
Therefore, it is believed that Bian Qihua and Wenrou are from the city and have never been to the countryside.
She said warmly, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, thank you for coming all this way. The roads in the countryside are difficult to travel. If I had known you were coming, I would have brought the oxcart."
The oxcart was the best vehicle they knew, since they always took it to the city.
As for cars and sedans, they never even considered them.
Bian Qihua and Wenrou didn't seem to care much: "It's alright. We mainly came here to accompany Yan Yan. It's no trouble to take a walk. Yan Yan hasn't been back since she married Xiao Lu. I haven't met with you either. It's good that we finally have some free time and can meet each other. It'll give us a sense of each other's situation."
Xu Hongmei naturally understood what he meant: "That's right, that's right."
She hurriedly called out to Lu Changzheng and gave him a wink.
Upon receiving instructions from Lu Changzheng, Lu Weiguo and Lu Baojia quickly stepped forward to take the luggage from Lu Ting and Bian Qihua.
Fearing they might refuse, Xu Hongmei said warmly, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, you've come all this way, and you're carrying so much stuff that it's hard for you to walk. We'll help you. We're all family, so let's not stand on ceremony."
Wenrou and Bian Qihua were about to refuse but didn't say it. Wenrou smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble you."
Xu Hongmei quickly took Su Miaoyan's hand: "Little Su, I heard you're pregnant. This mountain road is difficult to walk on. Do you want Lu Ting to carry you?"
