By the time we finally arrived in Shanghai, little Ma Jiawei had already taken a nap.
Lin Guoqing sat in the co-pilot seat, which was the general's seat that Xiao Jiawei had cried and shouted for before, and took a map to show Qi Jinzhou the way.
They had to drive to the dock first to pick up Chen Xiahua and the other three.
Lin Shu and his team set off a day in advance. They agreed to wait for Lin Guoqing and his team to pick them up after getting off the boat. They had been waiting for almost an hour.
It is inconvenient not to have a mobile phone. You cannot contact the person immediately when you arrive at the destination, and you have to find your target among the dense crowd.
Chen Chunhua was really thinking about whether to buy a mobile phone, but when she thought about it carefully, she realized that the brick would not last long and was very expensive, so she didn't want to waste the money. She was very conflicted.
"Dad! Mom! Over here!"
Lin Shu spotted his parents in the crowd and quickly raised his hand to greet them.
Chen Xiahua also followed his gaze and quickly waved, "Chunhua! National Day! We are here!"
By the way, remind your son and daughter to pick up their luggage and walk forward together.
"Hey, you drove a car like that!"
When Chen Xiahua first got on the bus, she thought it was a bus heading to the city center, but it turned out that all the people on board were her own people.
"Haha, that's right! With so many of us, it's most cost-effective to rent one ourselves."
"The engagement party is tomorrow, so let's get together for dinner tonight! Donghua said we should go to her place!"
Meidong Restaurant is closed to the public today, but the lights are still on inside.
Shen Donghua had been washing and cutting all day, and her husband Mao Dachui also cleaned the restaurant several times.
"Why haven't your sister and the others come yet?"
"It should be soon. They drove here from Yue City and have to pick up their eldest sister first. It will definitely take some time. Lao Mao, go upstairs and check on the children. It's almost time for them to come down."
"Hey! Good!"
As soon as the voice fell, the wind chimes at the door rang, "Aunt, we are here."
It was Lin Shuying and Huang Xinli, tomorrow's male and female protagonists. They had temporarily left the engagement matter to Huang's parents and came here to hide away. According to Huang Xinli's excuse to his parents, this was also a family dinner before Shuying's engagement, so of course they had to go!
"Here you are! Come sit down and have a drink of water! You are here before your mother and the others."
"Auntie, is there anything I can help you with?"
"How can I help you? I've already prepared everything. The stews are already cooked, and the steamed ones are already in the steamer. We can start cooking as soon as they arrive. The stir-fries are also ready, and the oil is in the wok. We'll start cooking as soon as they arrive! Just sit back and wait!"
Maybe because she heard that Chen Xiahua was coming today, Shen Donghua was obviously a little nervous. She was circling in front of Lin Shuying and counting the things she had prepared.
There was no way. In her impression, she seemed to have never done anything good for her elder sister. Today, she suddenly had to show her cooking skills in front of so many people, which felt even more difficult than opening a restaurant.
"Auntie." Lin Shuying curled her eyes. "You and mom are so kind. Auntie must be a gentle and kind beauty too!"
Shen Donghua chuckled. She knew Shuying wanted her to relax. It was true that her elder sister was a beauty, but she was far from being gentle and kind.
Before she could say anything, the sound of brakes was heard at the door. Huang Xinli heard it first and turned to look, "Are the uncles and aunts here?"
Several people hurried to the door to greet the person.
The first one to come down was Lin Shumei. She rushed down and threw herself at Lin Shuying, "Big sister! I'm here again!"
"Okay, okay! You're here again!" Lin Shuying hugged her and patted her head lovingly. However, Lin Shumei's happiness didn't last long, as her sister let her go and pushed her aside.
"Second brother!" Lin Shuying took a few quick steps and hugged Lin Shu, who came down second.
"sister!"
Years ago, Lin Shuying was unable to go to Jiangxi Province with him. When she returned to Sihe Village during the Chinese New Year, Lin Shugan was unable to go home for the holiday.
The brother and sister hadn't seen each other for a whole year, and when they met again, they were particularly affectionate.
Lin Shumei pouted, but she also knew that she hadn't seen her second brother and eldest sister for a long time, so she could only stand aside with a pout and stare at Lin Shuchao.
"Are you two polite enough to call me aunt?!"
Chen Chunhua got out of the car and slapped the two cross-eyed guys standing by on the back of the head. These two were really a headache and never gave up.
"Ah! Hello, auntie!" Lin Shumei said that she really forgot.
Lin Shuchao quickly followed, "Hello, Auntie! Happy summer vacation, Auntie!"
God damn happy summer vacation, which made everyone who got off the bus laugh.
Shen Donghua, on the other hand, was so focused on the car door that she didn't react for a moment. When she finally reacted, she saw a middle-aged woman in a dress slowly getting out of the car.
The movements were graceful and slow, which was in stark contrast to her memory.
But faces can't lie.
"Big sister?"
"Hey!" Chen Xiahua looked at Donghua, who was dressed neatly with an apron around her waist, and felt very emotional.
"You've grown so big..."
In fact, Shen Donghua didn't have any particularly strong feelings when she saw Chen Xiahua, but when this sentence came out, she wanted to cry.
Growing up is just a matter of a moment. She herself can't remember when she became a child and when she became an adult. But after being a mother, wife, daughter-in-law, and boss for so many years...
Suddenly there is someone who remembers that you were once a child.
"Big sister..."
Shen Donghua took a few quick steps and hugged Shen Xiahua, with Shen Chunhua standing beside them.
For a while, the entrance of Midun Hotel became a gathering place for relatives and friends.
Qi Jinzhou said hello to Sanni and found a place to park the car. Lin Guoqing urged them to go in first.
There are many small restaurants on this road. It is dinner time and the streets are full of people coming to eat. There are so many of them stuck here, and there is a Midun sign above their heads, so everyone coming and going has to take a look here.
"Look at me..." Shen Donghua wiped her eyes, "Come on, come in!"
"Laomao! Laomao!"
"Hey! Here they come!" Mao Dachui was pulling his two children downstairs. When he heard his wife's shouting, he thought someone was coming and hurried over.
"Hurry up and light the fire! You're in charge of the steamer! I'm going to cook!"
"OK!"
"Mao Hao! Mao Le! Come over here and meet your aunt and uncle! And your brothers and sisters!"
…
"Big sister, third sister, please take a seat first! I'll go cook the food first. I guarantee we'll have dinner ready in twenty minutes!"
"Donghua, take your time, there's no need to be so anxious!"
"No rush, no rush! Sit down! I'll be ready in a minute! Mao Hao Mao Le, pour some water! Call someone!"
