Following her master into the house, Su Xingran looked at the authentic traditional cultural architecture that hadn't been modified yet, her eyes flashing with amazement. The red peonies in the courtyard swayed in the wind, a breathtaking sight.
These flowers were planted by Gu Qingxiao before her death. She loved peonies, especially red ones. These flowers might not exist in this day and age, but Huang Zhenhua couldn't bear to see Gu Qingxiao's hard work destroyed. He pleaded with a high-ranking official, and so the flowers were preserved.
An elderly woman came out of the living room. "Zhenhua, you're back! This must be Xingran! And that must be Xiaoxue, Moting's girlfriend." The woman looked at Su Xingran and Xiaoxue with a kind smile.
"Xingran, this is Aunt Huang. Your older brothers Taihe and Taizhou grew up with Aunt Huang. You should call her Aunt Huang like your two older brothers do!"
Su Xingran stepped forward and said, "Hello, Aunt Huang, I am Su Xingran."
Xiao Xue walked up to Aunt Huang and said, "Hello, Aunt Huang, I'm Xiao Xue."
"Good! Good! You're all good children too." Huang Ma's smile deepened her wrinkles; she loved children very much.
"I've prepared your rooms. Let me show you." Aunt Huang took Su Xingran and Xiao Xue's hands and led them to the rooms prepared for them.
Aunt Huang led Su Xingran and the others to a side room, which was connected to the main room. Gu Moting followed behind, carrying the luggage bags and delivering the luggage to the room.
The bed in Su Xingran's room was covered with a brand new mattress and quilt. The mattress and quilt were all patterned, and the overall layout clearly indicated that it was a girl's room.
This feeling of being cherished lessened Su Xingran's homesickness a little. "Since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it!" Su Xingran comforted herself.
It's already afternoon. Su Xingran and the others have had some snacks. Later, Huang Taihe and Huang Taizhou will bring their wives and children back for dinner. Members of the Gu family will also be coming to the Huang family's house for dinner.
Su Xingran was a little nervous. She had only met Huang Taizhou, who was a very nice and easy-going person. But she hadn't met the others and didn't know what their personalities were like, which made her a little nervous about the unknown. After all, these were all her master's family members.
Just now, Aunt Huang prepared hot water and gave Su Xingran and the others a bath. After sitting on the train for dozens of hours, they smelled strongly of sweat. The clothes Su Xingran is wearing now were bought for her by the wives of Huang Taihe and Huang Taizhou.
As evening approached, Huang Ma had already begun preparing dinner. Su Xingran and Xiao Xue wanted to help, but Huang Ma jokingly "shooed them out" of the kitchen. The two had no choice but to return to the living room and chat.
Voices could be heard coming from the courtyard outside; judging from the noise, there were quite a few people. Su Xingran subconsciously tensed up; she could immediately tell who was coming in at this hour.
Huang Taihe and his wife with their child, Huang Taizhou and his wife with their child, and the Gu family with their daughter all walked in together.
As the group entered the living room, they saw the people sitting on the sofa. They were all very familiar with Huang Zhenhua, Duan Yuming, and Gu Moting. They also knew Xiao Xue and had met her before; Gu Moting had taken Xiao Xue back to the Gu family home for the Chinese New Year.
