This gift wasn't particularly expensive, but it was special because Ye Chen had carefully prepared it for Su Ningshuang.
On the plane, Su Ningshuang was still a little nervous, after all, she was going to meet her future in-laws.
Although she had met Ye Chen's parents many times, Su Ningshuang still couldn't help feeling a little uneasy because of his important identity.
Time passed slowly, and after arriving in her hometown of Linhai, Zhao Shuxuan parted ways with the two.
Zhao Shuxuan took a taxi home, while Ye Chen, having not told his parents he was going home, had no one to pick them up.
Ye Chen also hailed a ride-hailing car and headed straight for his villa.
Previously, when Ye Chen returned to his hometown, he bought several adjacent villas. His parents lived in one, and his grandparents lived in another. His grandparents were getting old, and they used to live in an old-style community without an elevator, which made it inconvenient for them to get around.
In fact, not long after Ye Chen became rich from the game, he transferred a large sum of money to his parents, so that they didn't have to work and could do whatever they wanted.
But the parents said that they had worked for twenty or thirty years and now they had money. If they didn't work, they wouldn't be able to adapt. Besides, look at those famous and wealthy people. They are rich enough, but they still work as usual.
If they stop working and stay at home every day, they won't have to worry about money, but they'll lack social interaction and be too lonely. Ye Chen can't possibly stay with them.
Ye Chen tried to persuade his parents several times, but he couldn't convince them. So he secretly used his connections to arrange for his parents to have the most relaxed jobs in their respective workplaces.
I work a few hours each day, but there's almost no actual work. I can chat with my colleagues and have a social circle, which is similar to being retired.
This time when he went back, Ye Chen hoped to persuade his parents again. If he couldn't do it himself, wasn't there still Ning Shuang?
If the parents don't want to stay in Linhai, they can move to places like Hangzhou or Shanghai.
Half an hour later, when Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang appeared at their doorstep, their parents were first surprised, then overjoyed.
Hello, Uncle and Aunt.
Su Ningshuang smiled and beckoned.
"Ning Shuang is here, come in quickly, come in quickly."
Ye Chen's mother pulled Su Ningshuang into the villa, showering her with concern and care.
"Xiao Chen is really something, you guys are coming back today without telling us in advance."
Ye Chen's mother started nagging her son.
"We haven't prepared dinner either. What would you like to eat? I'll make it."
"Mom, I didn't tell you beforehand because I wanted to give you a surprise."
Ye Chen shrugged.
"We had dinner on the plane, so there's no need to prepare anything else."
"Next time you come back, especially if you bring Ning Shuang back, be sure to call us first, or you'll be in big trouble..."
Ye Chen's mother spoke again, clearly not wanting to let Ye Chen off the hook.
"Auntie, please don't blame Ye Chen. I told him not to make the call, because I wanted to give Uncle and Auntie a surprise."
Seeing this, Su Ningshuang took the initiative to step forward and take responsibility for the matter.
"Oh, is that so? That's good, Auntie is very happy."
Seeing that the idea came from her future daughter-in-law, Ye Chen's mother immediately smiled, her attitude completely changing from how she had treated Ye Chen earlier.
Beside him, Ye Chen thought to himself, "She really is my mother."
Now it was Ye Chen's turn to be a little jealous. His mother was closer to Ning Shuang than to her own son. Who was the real mother?
After talking for a while, Ye Chen's mother glanced at the time and suggested:
"Your grandparents probably haven't rested yet. Why don't you go and check on them?"
The two elderly people had been grumbling for a while, saying they hadn't seen their grandson Ye Chen in a long time and missed him very much.
"good."
Ye Chen also wanted to visit his grandparents, so he picked up the gifts he had specially prepared for them and went to the villa next door.
Upon seeing Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang, the two elderly people were even happier than Ye Chen's parents.
In fact, Ye Chen had considered bringing his grandparents, parents and other family members to live with him in Hangzhou or Shanghai.
After thinking it over carefully and even asking tentatively, Ye Chen gave up.
Whether it's their parents or grandparents, they've lived in Linhai their whole lives and have established social circles and friends.
They moved to a big city, which improved their living conditions, but they became very lonely.
As a young person still in school, I have classmates and the help of games. Therefore, when I arrived in a new city, I met more and more people and my social circle expanded.
But parents and grandparents are different. If I bring them to live with me, they won't know anyone else except me, and I won't be able to spend every day with my family.
Reintegrating into a new social circle and making friends with peers takes too much time and requires a long period of time.
Take my grandmother for example. She knows many elderly women of the same age in Linhai. Although she has moved here now, they are all in Linhai and not far apart. They still meet up often to chat about everyday life.
But if I move to Shanghai, where will I get to know so many old ladies, and even get to be on good terms with them?
I should come back and visit the elderly more often when I have time in the future.
Ye Chen had another important reason for returning this time: he wanted his parents and grandparents to visit Shanghai.
Linhai has limited medical resources, but Ye Chen has secured a top-tier private hospital in Shanghai with excellent medical standards. He wants to take them for a comprehensive medical check-up.
Elderly people, especially grandparents, need regular check-ups.
Back when Ye Chen was in Hangzhou, Grandpa Su and Grandma Su often went for physical checkups.
During a previous conversation with Mr. Zhou at the Tan Palace, Mr. Zhou mentioned that he regularly undergoes physical examinations to ensure his health, just in case.
Ye Chen learned a move.
They stayed at their grandparents' house for more than half an hour before returning home.
While at their grandparents' house, after persuasion from Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang, the two elderly people finally agreed that they could visit Shanghai when they had time.
The next day, Ye Chen met up with several old classmates he hadn't seen in a long time and caught up with them.
That evening, Ye Chen received a call from his cousin Ye Xingyan, who invited him out for drinks.
The last time Ye Chen went back to his hometown, Ye Xingyan wasn't there, so he didn't see Ye Chen. This time, when he heard that Ye Chen was back, he specially invited Ye Chen out for drinks.
Ye Chen and Ye Xingyan had a good relationship, so he agreed.
Ning Shuang doesn't like drinking much, so Ye Chen didn't bring her along. And judging from his cousin's words, he didn't bring his girlfriend either.
After speaking with his parents, who told Ye Chen to come back soon, Ye Chen left.
When Ye Chen arrived at the location, his cousin Ye Xingyan was already drinking.
"Brother."
Upon seeing Ye Chen, Ye Xingyan happily opened a bottle of beer for him and handed it to him.
Seeing this, Ye Chen vaguely guessed that something seemed to have happened to his cousin, or his cousin's family.
