"Wow, that's great! We're lucky to have Jinyou here, and we can also try these fresh fruits," everyone said with a smile.
"That's too kind of you. I know you all too well," Zhou's mother shook her head.
I knew they were saying that on purpose, but I didn't pay any attention to it.
"These grapes are really good, sweet and sour, quite delicious," Zhao Le said.
"If you like to eat it, I'll bring you some later," Zhou's mother said.
"How can we do this? This was brought to Jinyou by her mother. How can we take Jinyou's food?"
"Auntie, there's so much! Everyone should try some. I can't eat it all myself, so please don't be shy. I really want to thank you all for helping me and my mother-in-law unpack these things today."
“Otherwise, with just these things, it would have taken several days to unpack them. This time we’ve saved time. As a junior, I brought you some fruit. I hope you elders don’t mind,” Fu Bao said.
"You're such a good talker, kid. We'll take everything with us when we leave. We're really grateful to you."
The families of those living in the same courtyard as Zhou's mother all have similar social standing, so they naturally don't lack these things. But what you said still makes me especially happy.
Several people remarked that the Zhou family was truly blessed; their daughter-in-law, Fu Bao, was impeccable in both appearance and manners, leaving no room for criticism.
After helping tidy up for a while, the group took the fruit and went home, since it was almost time to get off work and their families should be leaving soon too.
Watching them leave, Fu Bao said to Zhou's mother, "Mom, I thought we had put all the ginseng away. I didn't expect there were still two hundred-year-old ones left."
“They saw it all this time, won’t that cause some trouble?” Fu Bao asked.
"Let's ask Zhenting when we get back. We didn't expect this either. Let's take these things apart again tonight and see what else is there."
"Have Zhenting and the others move the things we dismantled during the day upstairs when they come back."
“Okay,” Fu Bao replied.
The Zhou and Han families have always been hot topics of discussion, but the content is entirely two-sided.
"Have you heard? The Guo family sent fruit and vegetables to their daughter again today. They send them every day, just in case their daughter isn't eating well during her pregnancy."
"Really? Is that true? That's so exaggerated! It's just a pregnancy, is it really necessary to be so delicate?"
"Then you don't think about it. They have seven children, and this is their only daughter. Isn't she the apple of their eye?"
"We still haven't finished unpacking the things that were delivered yesterday. I heard that Sister Liu and the others went to help today, but it won't be finished until tomorrow."
"They're so lucky. There's nothing we can do. It's exhausting to compare yourself to others. Look at Wang Zhao. He and Guo Jinyou got married around the same time, and their in-laws were from similar backgrounds to the Zhou family, but now everything is a mess."
"By the way, has Han Minjia come back yet? Wasn't she hospitalized?"
“I went to see her the day before yesterday. It seems to be coming soon. Han Zhichao is in a dilemma right now and wants to separate from the family. Han Minjia is so strong-willed, so naturally she can't accept it. Naturally, she couldn't accept it for a while and fainted.”
"Sigh, I just can't see it. Look, the Zhou family never planned for the two children to live here, but they get along so well. Now that Guo Jinyou is pregnant, she's come back, and Xiao Jing is taking care of her."
"I see that. Sometimes it's better to let things take their natural course."
"By the way, Sister Liu and the others went to the Zhou family today. They said the Guo family prepared two ginseng roots for their daughter, both of which are a hundred years old. They said that as soon as you look at them, they look like they were just dug up recently."
"This is a real treasure! The Guo family really values this daughter too much; why are they preparing a century-old ginseng?"
"This is what Zhang Tingting, as a mother, prepared for her daughter, Jinyou, to nourish her body after she gave birth."
"I feel that Guo Jinyou doesn't need to lack any nutrition. This is simply because parents love their daughter dearly, and it's also a sign of their good intentions."
The news about the Zhou family spread like wildfire, and many people knew about it and heard about their two century-old ginseng roots.
When Zhou Zhenting and his son returned home, Fu Bao recounted the entire day's events from beginning to end.
"Luckily, we put away that thousand-year-old ginseng yesterday, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble it would have caused," Zhou's father sighed.
“It can’t be that bad, it’s just two century-old ginseng roots,” Zhou’s mother said.
"A hundred-year-old ginseng is not common. If it's a thousand-year-old one, it'll be famous. There must be quite a few people who know about this. Let nature take its course."
"Yes, that's the only way," the family discussed the matter while eating.
After dinner, the family continued to dismantle things. Zhou Zhenting moved things to various rooms, where everything was arranged according to category and was prepared for the unborn child.
“There’s also red wine here. Let’s have some, you and me,” Zhou’s father said to Zhenting.
“Okay, Dad, this should be from my mother-in-law’s winery. I think it tastes pretty good,” Zhou Zhenting said.
"Yes, your father-in-law and mother-in-law are certainly capable, that goes without saying."
Fu Bao smiled when she heard their conversation. This was her confidence, the confidence her parents gave her, and she had to thank them for it all.
“These are the children’s tableware, this is donkey-hide gelatin, and these are toys…” Zhou’s mother’s words drew their attention.
"Mom, let me see this toy. Is it all for me?" Zhou Zhenhan said excitedly.
“Yes, that’s for sure, you should go and take a look,” Fu Bao said.
The family stayed up until midnight to finish dismantling these things, hoping to avoid a repeat of what happened during the day.
During this period, my home has become the center of attention, so naturally many people are paying attention to it. Moreover, many people come to my home every day, so it's best to keep a low profile.
