"This Guo family wedding is quite grand. Many families with unmarried children are planning to hold their weddings there," said Zhou's mother.
“Yes, I’ve heard about it, but it must have cost a lot. Just think how many flowers were used; a lot of them were air-freighted,” Mr. Zhou said.
“I don’t think the Guo family are the kind of people who like to show off. I heard from Jinyou that it’s also to promote their own business.”
"You know that the Guo family's new car is priced very high, and sales have increased significantly after the youngest son's wedding."
"Well, that's good. It's always best to keep a low profile. As long as they understand," said Father Shen.
"I'm not thinking about any of these things right now. I just hope that Jinyou and Zhenting can let me hold my grandson soon," Zhou's mother said.
No sooner had they finished speaking than Zhou Zhenting and Fu Bao returned to the Zhou family home.
“Mom and Dad, we’re back,” the two said.
"Oh, it's good to see you back. I was just talking about you two and you came back. People really can't stand being nagged."
"Why aren't you happy that the two of us are back, Mom?" Zhou Zhenting asked.
"I'm happy, how could I not be happy? You two are so busy with work, it's not easy for you to meet up."
“I’ll go and have someone cook. Your younger brother will be back soon, and your second brother is busy too. Otherwise, our family can eat together,” Zhou’s mother sighed.
“Mom, my second brother is busy, so my aunt and I often come back to keep you and Dad company. By the way, Mom and Dad, my parents-in-law gave us a lot of nice things this time,” Zhou Zhenting said.
“Jinyou doesn’t like drinking tea either, but she knows her parents do, so she specifically asked me to bring it over,” Zhou Zhenting said proudly.
"What kind of tea is it? Your father-in-law and mother-in-law's collection must be top-notch," Zhou's father said with interest.
"We also have a lot of old vintage wines, all of them are good stuff. We can drink them while we eat later."
“Let me see, I’m actually interested in these things,” Mr. Zhou said with a smile.
"Wow, this wine is 30 years old, it's really good stuff. Let's not drink it, I have some wine in my study, let's change it."
"Dad, I didn't even want to drink it myself, I just wanted to bring it over so we could have a taste," Zhenting said helplessly.
"What do you want to drink? I'll put it away for now. Okay, after dinner, I want to try this tea," Zhou's father said as he opened the tea leaves.
"This fragrance is wonderful; it's truly a fine tea."
"I keep track of the quality of the tea I receive every month. This time, I'm going to show it off and let them see how good my tea and wine are."
“Alright then, I’ll brew a pot of tea in a bit, and I’ll have some too,” Zhou Zhenting said.
"Do you still have these bottles of wine? Bring them back and I'll store them for you."
“Dad, I was planning to drink this myself. I’ll get you a few more bottles when I come back later, is that alright?” Zhou Zhenting said.
"Okay, it's settled then. I can't forget about this. It's settled then."
No sooner had she finished speaking than she heard her younger brother calling from outside. They were still not home, but the shouts could be heard all over the yard.
“Brother, sister-in-law, you’re back,” Zhou Zhenhan called out.
He was overjoyed to see his brother and sister-in-law return. Thanks to his word, everyone knew that his sister-in-law was Guo Jinyou.
Moreover, his older brother and sister-in-law always give him gifts when they come back, so how could he not look forward to it?
“You little rascal, running so fast, you’ll get a belly full of wind,” Zhou Zhenting said.
"Well, this is a gift your sister-in-law brought you. You should thank her."
"Thank you, sister-in-law. You're the best. Let me see what it is," Zhou Zhenhan said with a smile as he began to search.
"Go wash your hands first. Look at your hands, what have you been doing?"
"Okay, I'll go now," she said, still reluctant to leave.
"This kid, you two shouldn't bring him anything next time you come back. He's spoiled rotten," Zhou's father said helplessly.
Zhou Zhenting didn't say anything; as the youngest brother, he was naturally pampered.
"Brother, what's in this big package?"
"Your sister-in-law brought you back a remote control car. Do you like it? And here's some food for you. Try it."
"Okay, you two are the best brother and sister-in-law. I'm so happy."
"You're so sweet-talking. Alright, go have fun by yourself."
After instructing the housekeeper to cook, Zhou's mother returned to find Zhenting and Fubao had brought back so many things, which left her feeling helpless.
Every time I tell him not to bring it next time, he won't listen. He's spoiling Zhenhan rotten.
"Brother, teach me how to use this," Zhenhan shouted.
"Okay, don't go out and show off, just stay home and play by yourself."
“I know, brother. Don’t worry, you still don’t trust me,” Zhou Zhenhan said, his eyes darting around.
But whether it can be done is really uncertain.
