In the room, Ji Yanming's father Ji Wenxue had been walking back and forth at the door with his hands behind his back for no less than ten times, but he didn't see his wife come back with someone after going out. He clearly saw her pick up someone when he looked out the window.
At this time, I finally heard a sound outside the yard, and saw a group of people walking towards this side with a smile on his face.
But the next second, Ji Wenxue at the door walked briskly to the sofa by the door and sat down. He then took the newspaper on the coffee table and unfolded it in his hand. He put on his glasses and pretended to read the newspaper seriously, but his ears were listening to the sounds outside. His attention was not on the newspaper but on the outside.
I heard my daughter-in-law's happy laughter outside and said, "Yueyue, we are home. Come on, go in. Your uncle is in the house."
Ji Wenxue immediately turned his attention to the newspaper. When he heard the door being pushed open, he glanced at the door with the newspaper in his hand and said calmly, "You're back."
"Huo, aren't you in the study, old man? Why are you sitting here and suddenly making a sound? You scared me." Bai Manjun shook his shoulders and patted his frightened heart.
Ji Wenxue felt bad that his wife was scared, and the sophisticated image he had just maintained in front of the younger generation was shattered.
He no longer wanted to maintain his superior image in front of the younger generation, and turned back into his wife's slave. He poured a glass of water with an apologetic look, bent over, and handed it to his wife to apologize. He patted her back soothingly and said, "Drink some water to calm your nerves. Are you feeling better?"
Later, when Ning Xiyue and her two siblings saw such a down-to-earth and wife-loving leader, the tension in their hearts was no longer there.
Especially Ning Qingzhi who came later. He had seen the serious and harsh leader on a certain occasion before, and now he suddenly saw such a different side of the leader. Suddenly, he saw a trace of his father at home in the leader.
His nervous heart miraculously calmed down and he was no longer afraid of the leader.
"Alright, alright, take the tea away." Bai Manjun took a sip of the tea and handed it back, waving her hand in a feigned disdainful manner: "Come over here, didn't you see your son's girlfriend is here?"
Now that his false image of being tall and mighty had been shattered, the younger generations all knew that he was a henpecked man, so Ji Wenxue stopped pretending and was not annoyed at all. He listened to his wife with a smile, put away the teacup obediently, and quickly moved over, looking at the younger generations with a kind face.
Then Bai Manjun changed her face like a Sichuan opera, put on a smile, and pulled Ning Xiyue in with one foot still behind the door: "Come, Yueyue, come here."
"Hello uncle, I'm Ning Xiyue." Ning Xiyue smiled and nodded obediently to greet him.
She instantly realized that the most successful men are those who love, care for and fear their wives. If he is not successful, who will be successful?
Ning Qingyuan bowed slightly stiffly: "Hello uncle, I am Xiyue's second brother, Ning Qingyuan."
Although Ning Qingzhi was no longer nervous, he unconsciously stood straight when Ji Wenxue looked at him, raised his right hand and saluted, his voice sonorous and powerful as if he was going to the battlefield: "Hello, Chief, I am Xiyue's elder brother, Ning Qingzhi."
"Okay, okay, you're all good girls and good boys." Ji Wenxue laughed heartily, then looked at Ning Qingzhi: "But, at home, don't call me Chief, call me Uncle."
"Okay, Chief."
Ning Qingzhi was so nervous that he called out "chief" again, which made everyone laugh again.
But this also made the atmosphere in the room relaxed and no one was nervous anymore. Oh no, the eldest brother was always tense.
"Let's all sit down and talk."
While directing her son to pour water, Bai Manjun smiled and asked everyone to sit down.
"Uncle and aunt, these are gifts for you. They are all dried goods we picked ourselves when we were in the countryside."
Ning Xiyue handed over all the things, and the eldest and second brothers also stood up and handed over the gifts in their hands. Ning Xiyue emphasized the gifts for individuals.
"This is the sorghum wine I learned to brew from a master. This packet is made from wild Yunwu tea leaves picked from the mountains. I hope you like it, uncle."
Ning Xiyue handed a box of tea and a jar of wine tied with a red rope to Ji's father.
Ji Wenxue's eyes lit up when he saw the wine, and he quickly took it: "Oh, this kid is thoughtful. Thank you, thank you. Uncle likes it very much. Let's have a drink together tonight."
Then he held the jar of wine tightly, fearing that his wife would take it away.
Seeing his promising look, Bai Manjun smiled and ignored him for the time being.
Because Ning Xiyue handed another box of things to her.
"This box is for my aunt's skincare products. I made them myself. They have moisturizing, whitening, anti-aging, and dark pigment removal properties. My mom, my sister-in-law, and I are all using them, and the results are very good. I hope my aunt likes them."
"I love it so much. Thank you, Yueyue. Can I open it and take a look?"
Bai Manjun took the things with great joy. Her future daughter-in-law had a very pretty face and she knew she was good at making medicines. She was looking forward to what was inside.
Ning Xiyue nodded happily and sat over. "Of course, there's a booklet inside. You can follow the steps. I'm here so I can help you apply it on your face so you can get familiar with how to use it."
"Okay, then I'll trouble Yueyue." Bai Manjun happily opened the package.
Ji Yanming noticed that his two brothers-in-law were obviously a little reserved when talking to their father about their studies and work, so he said while his father was drinking tea, "Mom and Dad, I'm going to take my eldest and second brothers to move things first."
"Okay, go ahead. It's in the room next to yours, you know." Bai Manjun nodded in agreement and pointed to a room behind him.
"Okay." Ji Wenxue, who was sitting next to him holding a jar of wine, also nodded and continued to read the newspaper on the table.
The two brothers felt relieved. They greeted Ji's parents, gave Ning Xiyue an encouraging look, and then followed Ji Yanming to move things easily.
Ning Xiyue was fine. She could talk endlessly with Bai's mother about cosmetics. Then she turned her attention to Bai's mother who was unpacking the box, and while talking, she waited for her to open it and then began to teach her how to use it.
However, after Bai Manjun opened the box and saw what was inside, she screamed.
"ah-"
