On the evening of December 6th, Jiang Xiaoli and Jiang Chengle boarded a plane back to Kyoto with just as many suitcases as they had brought.
On the afternoon of December 7th, Li Guizhi and Zong Jia waited at the arrival gate until the hall was empty, but they still didn't see the two of them.
Just as Zong Jia was about to go over and ask the staff for information, she saw two mountains of luggage slowly walking towards the entrance.
Li Guizhi smiled and pointed to some of the luggage, "Those are Xiao Li's suitcases, I recognize them!"
Zong Jia pushed an empty luggage cart from the side, and after the two of them came out, they spread out their luggage so they could move around a bit more.
Jiang Xiaoli wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Oh my god, there's so much stuff! Going through the declaration channel with Brother Le almost killed me!"
Li Guizhi counted the number of boxes. "Are these all yours? How come there are five more boxes than when you left?"
She shook her head and sighed, "This is the result of all my efforts to compress and compress things; Grandma and the others are stuffing us with food like crazy!"
Jiang Chengle continued, "There's a whole bunch of stuff that we couldn't carry all at once, so my mom mailed it back to us."
Li Guizhi could only smile and say, "Alright, let's go home first. It's gotten cold early this year; it snowed just yesterday."
Jiang Xiaoli nodded repeatedly, "Kyoto is indeed colder than Chongqing! I shivered as soon as I got off the plane, but luckily Aunt Xu told me to bring a thick coat with me."
The four of them pushed their luggage to the car. Yesterday she had specifically mentioned that she had a lot of luggage, and today Zong Jia had arranged for a van with a huge trunk to pick them up from the airport.
Sitting in the well-heated car, Jiang Xiaoli unbuttoned her coat and exhaled, "This air feels just right!"
Li Guizhi said with a smile, "I thought you didn't miss home!"
She leaned her head on her mother's shoulder and said, "No way, I missed you so much! Mom, I want to eat your braised pork."
Li Guizhi chuckled and pushed her forehead away. "So you were craving this food?"
She sidled back again, "I want them all! I want them all!"
Li Guizhi called out to Jiang Chengle, "A-Le, let's have dinner together later before going home?"
Jiang Chengle waved his hand, "No, Auntie, I need to go home and talk to my uncle about something. I'll come back another day to try your cooking."
So they first took Jiang Chengle home before returning to "Heyuan".
While Li Guizhi was cooking, Jiang Xiaoli was embraced tightly by Zong Jiayu.
"Little Pear, I miss you so much."
She reached out and touched the head resting on her shoulder. "I missed you too."
Zong Jia took a deep breath, like a vixen sucking in people's life force, "Little Pear smells so good."
"Haha." She chuckled softly, "Still smells good after sitting on a plane for more than ten hours?"
"Anyway, pears just smell nice."
"Fine, whatever you say."
She let him hold her like that, the two of them huddled together like conjoined twins.
Then a voice came from the kitchen, "Xiao Li, come and serve the dishes!"
Jiang Xiaoli pushed the big dog off her, saying, "Go, go, go, it's time to eat."
Zong Jia reluctantly let go of her and went with her to the kitchen to serve the dishes.
Just as they were eating, the doorbell rang. Xiao Jincheng, Zhong Yuan, and Dafu each carried a bag of food.
Jiang Xiaoli opened the door to welcome them in, "Weren't you all supposed to have things to do today? How did you end up together?"
Xiao Jincheng said with a smile, "It's quite a coincidence that the three of us met at the restaurant. We all wanted to give you a surprise."
Dafu helped Li Guizhi put the dishes she brought onto plates, and soon the round dining table was full.
Xiao Jincheng pulled Jiang Xiaoli to sit next to him and talked about the recent situation of his wife and daughter.
Jiang Xiaoli told them everything she had seen and heard in Chongqing during her week-long stay.
Xiao Jincheng frowned more and more as he listened. "Why is this Ah Le always following you two girls around? Doesn't he ever spend time with his family when he gets home?"
She chuckled, "Well, Uncle Xiao, you know what I mean."
Xiao Jincheng was a little annoyed. He turned to Li Guizhi and said, "Sister-in-law, this is the most worrying thing about raising a daughter!"
Li Guizhi looked at her daughter and then at Zong Jiayu. "Hehe, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. We should just keep an eye on things for them. We should respect the children's opinions. Our two daughters aren't the kind of muddleheads who can't distinguish right from wrong."
Xiao Jincheng smacked his lips. "Sister-in-law, what you said makes sense, but I really don't feel right!"
Li Guizhi was helpless with the man suffering from paternal anxiety, so she could only put some food on his plate and say, "Jincheng, eat more."
Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help but turn her head away and chuckle.
After dinner, Xiao Jincheng received two photo albums containing recent pictures of his wife and daughter, then immediately packed up and went home without looking back.
Li Guizhi smiled and said, "Your Uncle Xiao has it tough too. He's always busy with work and can't get away. Otherwise, he would have flown over to see Xiaoyu and the others long ago."
Jiang Xiaoli nodded, "It's alright, Xiaoyu's treatment is going very well, she should be back soon."
"Okay, you guys chat, I'm going to the kitchen to work on my new recipe."
Jiang Xiaoli pulled out a large bag of bottles and jars from a box and handed it to Dafu. "Here, Brother Dafu, these are all for you. My second uncle has already given me the sales authorization for this brand, and it will be available in China soon."
Daifu took the big bag of things and said with a smile, "Then I'll be your loyal customer!"
Zhong Yuan opened a bottle of lotion. "Hey, this one doesn't have that artificial fragrance, it smells quite natural. I like it, give it to me!"
Jiang Xiaoli handed him a gift box, saying, "This set is for you, no need to fight over it!"
Zhong Yuan opened the gift box and counted the number of products inside. "Little Pear, why does mine have a few more items than Fu Zi's?"
She explained, "Your gift set contains the entire 'Dr. Pei' series; Dafu's question only requires a few of the corresponding products."
Zhong Yuan understood. "Hehe, I'll secretly use it when I get back, but don't tell anyone!"
Dafu was speechless. He complained, "I wonder who was it that kept saying I was effeminate by applying face cream every morning and evening?"
Zhong Yuan was very flexible at this moment, "Fu Zi, Brother Zong's face is right here, so let's not say anything. You've started taking care of yourself, so I can't hold you back, right?"
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled, "Yes, yes, yes! If there were more people like you two, I'd be even more confident about 'Dr. Pei's' sales!"
Zong Jiayu looked at the two brothers, who had amassed a bountiful harvest, and spread out his hands, asking, "What about mine?"
Zhong Yuan spoke first, "Brother Zong, you're already like this after just washing your face with water, and you still want to take care of yourself? Are you trying to become the Heavenly Child Granny?"
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and took out a smaller gift box. "Brother Yuan is right, but how could I forget? This is for you."
Zong Jia didn't understand the effects of these skincare products; he just felt that he had far fewer than his two brothers.
He lowered his head and kissed her lips. "I have less than the two of them, so I need to add this to make it enough."
