The group went inside the house, and Liang Yun introduced her family members to Su Guomin and his wife. Liang Yun pointed to her family members and said, "Guomin, Huilan, this is Mo Li's uncle and aunt, and this is Mo Li's older cousin."
After introducing everyone and getting to know each other, Liang Yun pointed to the gifts piled on the table and said, "Guomin, Huilan, these are the gifts we brought. We didn't know what you liked, so we just bought some random things. Oh, and there are some candies and such in here, which you're going to distribute to your neighbors."
Upon hearing this, Zeng Huilan remembered the villagers who had gathered outside the house to watch the commotion. She asked Su Guomin to find some candy and distribute it to the villagers. This was the first time the in-laws had visited, a joyous occasion that should be celebrated.
Liang Yun remembered something she forgot to mention, "Mo Li's father couldn't come because of something, but he asked me to send his regards to you."
Zeng Huilan said she knew, and that she and her husband had seen the Gu family's sincerity. They had come all the way to her home, and even brought her maternal uncle and aunt.
Outside, Su Guomin went out with a bag of candy to distribute. Someone asked, "Guomin, who are these people? Are they your relatives? One of the men looks like Dr. Huang's nephew."
Su Guomin thought that since the marriage certificate had already been submitted, there was no harm in saying it. He said with a smile, "They are the family of Ranran's boyfriend. Yes, Mo Ting is Uncle Huang's nephew, and Ranran is dating Mo Ting's younger brother. Ranran's boyfriend is a soldier, so he can't come. His family members came to visit."
The villagers watching said, "Wow, Guomin, your Xingran is really amazing. She's good at studying, became a doctor and even made a meritorious contribution. Now she's dating a soldier. She's truly outstanding in everything."
Su Guomin smiled broadly. Some people laughed behind his back, saying he only had one child and no one would be there to break plates for him anymore. Su Guomin and his wife were very open-minded; as long as they were happy while alive, that was enough. What did it matter if someone died? Besides, Ranran was their precious child, lost and found again.
There were still guests at home, so Su Guomin didn't nag much. After distributing the candy, he quickly went back inside to greet the guests.
Lunch was cooked by the daughters-in-law of Su Guomin's eldest and second uncles. Zeng Huilan had invited them the day before, and at lunchtime, all the families of Su Guomin's eldest and second uncles came to the Su family home and ate together.
Although no one saw Su Xingran's boyfriend, judging from Gu Moting and Liang Yun's good looks—the mother and son being so attractive—it's safe to assume that Su Xingran's boyfriend must be quite good-looking.
Liang Yun was very courteous. Before coming, she had asked Su Xingran if she had any elders in her family. She knew that Su Xingran had great-grandparents, great-great-grandparents, and great-great-grandparents. Liang Yun picked out a gift for each of the four of them and bought some small toys for the children to share.
She also prepared gifts of candy, biscuits, and pastries for her great-uncle and second great-uncle's families. The village head and the brigade leader also prepared gifts. Liang Yun knew she already felt guilty that her son couldn't come, and she worried about what the villagers might say. They had no connections in Beijing, but the Su couple lived in the village. Therefore, she tried her best to be courteous, letting everyone know that the groom's family valued the bride's family highly.
The Gu family's visit was primarily to meet the bride's family as the groom's side. The marriage registration hasn't been finalized yet, and the couple hasn't announced a wedding date. Therefore, no details about the wedding were discussed this time.
