The next morning, Xu Feng urged, "Xiao Li, hurry up and eat. After you and A Yu go to see his mother, we'll head to Xiao Yu's school for a visit."
"Okay!" she replied.
After breakfast, they went to the hospital to visit Chi Haiyao.
Jiang Xiaoli brought a few wedding photos taken the day before yesterday. Chi Haiyao couldn't stop smiling when she saw them. "A perfect match, so beautiful."
Zong Jiayu said, "Tomorrow, the guests from China will land directly in Birmingham. We will also go there tomorrow. We won't be able to visit you for the next two days. A helicopter will come to pick you up on the morning of the 19th and take you to the wedding venue."
Chi Haiyao smiled and nodded. "I understand."
After leaving the hospital, the two of them met up with Li Guizhi and the other two and headed to Oxford University.
On the way, Xiao Jincheng asked, "Little Pear, did you tell Xiaoyu that we went to school today?"
Jiang Xiaoli replied, "No, but I've seen her schedule. She's always full of classes, so Wednesday afternoon is the only free time. Let's go surprise her!"
“Yes, yes, yes!” Xu Feng nodded in agreement. “Xiaoyu is the type to only report good news and not bad news. We need to do a surprise inspection to find out if what she said is true or not.”
Oxford University is more than an hour's drive from downtown Fog City, and they arrived at Xiao Muyu's apartment building before lunchtime.
Xiao Jincheng had been criticizing everything since they entered Oxfordshire. After getting out of the car, Xu Feng picked at her ear and complained, "You're such a chatterbox. Yesterday, when I told you to pay the bill yourself, you suddenly became mute?"
Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help but laugh out loud. Xiao Jincheng must have been so bored in Great Britain that he became mute as soon as he stepped outside and could only chat with them at home.
Li Guizhi asked with a smile, "Xiao Li, how do we get in?"
She rubbed her stomach, trying to suppress her smile. "Wait a minute, I'll make a phone call."
A short while later, a young girl came down to the lobby to greet them.
"Sister Xiaoli! You're here!"
Jiang Xiaoli shook the bag she was carrying. "Yes, I brought your favorite snacks!"
Jiang Qinglin smiled as she took the bag, then greeted each of them before leading them upstairs.
Xiao Jincheng nodded in satisfaction upon seeing the security measures at the apartment building. "It's definitely safe to live here."
Jiang Qinglin explained, "Yes, Uncle Xiao, this apartment building is the newest and best-equipped in this area."
There are six units on one floor of this apartment building, each with a very spacious two-bedroom layout.
When the elevator reached the 12th floor, Jiang Qinglin knocked on the door of room 12A. Soon, a middle-aged woman wearing an apron opened the door.
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and waved at her, "Aunt Quan, it's been a long time."
Aunt Quan exclaimed with delight, "Miss Li, Third Madam, you've arrived! Come in, come in!"
Li Guizhi pointed to Xiao Jincheng and his wife and introduced them, "Jincheng, Feng'er, this is Aunt Quan, an elder of the Jiang family. Aunt Quan, these two are Xiaoyu's parents."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xu Feng thanked her, saying, "Aunt Quan, Xiaoyu goes to school here. Thank you for taking care of her."
Aunt Quan smiled and said, "You're welcome. It's what I should do."
Aunt Quan was well taken care of by Qiao Xing'er in the Jiang family, and now that she has been asked to come and take care of Qiao Xing'er's future daughter-in-law, she is doing her best.
She glanced towards the kitchen and said, "You all rest first, I'll go and add a few more dishes."
Aunt Quan used all her skills to prepare a table full of delicious dishes. Just as the last dish, steamed fish, was placed on the table, Xiao Muyu returned.
Hearing the door open, Jiang Xiaoli and the others hid in the guest room.
Upon seeing the table laden with dishes, Xiao Muyu was stunned. "Aunt Quan, this..."
Before she could even ask her question, someone jumped up from behind and wrapped their arms around her neck. "Surprised? Excited?"
Xiao Muyu turned around and smiled, "Mom and Dad, Auntie, what brings you here?"
Xu Feng pulled out a chair and sat down. "How can I feel at ease if I don't come and see for myself?"
“Yes,” Xiao Jincheng said. “Daughter, is your class so far away? It’s been almost half an hour since get out of class ended. I’ll buy you a car for transportation.”
"Please don't!" Xiao Muyu quickly refused. "There are too few parking spaces. If I drive to school and have to keep looking for a parking space, I'll be late every day."
Jiang Qinglin also said, "Yes, and it's especially congested."
Xu Feng asked curiously, "So you all walk to class?"
"No!" Xiao Muyu explained, "Depending on where we go to class, we'll either ride a bike or walk, and the furthest we can take is by bus."
Jiang Xiaoli laughed, "Riding a bike to school, isn't that just like when we first started high school?"
"Yeah, just treat it as exercise!"
After lunch, Jiang Qinglin went back to her apartment for a nap, while Xiao Muyu took them on a tour of the school.
Xiao Jincheng and Xu Feng couldn't resist going on a shopping spree at the school's souvenir shop. They bought everything from hoodies and hats to scarves, mugs, and notebooks—anything with the Oxford University name on it was something they were interested in.
Xiao Muyu was speechless. "Mom and Dad, why did you buy all this?"
Xiao Jincheng raised an eyebrow. "I'll just hand them out as small gifts when I get back. My daughter is even more amazing now that she didn't go to medical school. I have to brag about it."
Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Uncle Xiao, it has to be you!"
Xiao Muyu didn't understand her father's love of comparison, but she respected it.
She tugged at Xiao Jincheng's arm, "Okay, okay, don't buy them anymore. I'll buy them and send them back to you later, okay?"
Xu Feng nodded, "That's a good idea. Xiaoyu is so smart. Your dad is really too stupid!"
On the way back to the apartment after visiting the school, Xiao Muyu pulled Jiang Xiaoli aside and asked, "What's going on between my mom and dad? I've noticed my dad has been getting criticized all day."
She covered her mouth and chuckled for a while before recounting the "love-hate relationship" between Xiao Jincheng and his wife over the past two days.
Xiao Muyu said helplessly, "Why are they acting like children now? They can start arguing over the smallest things."
Jiang Xiaoli patted her shoulder, "Noisy arguments are a spice of life. It's normal for a pure love warrior like you, who's in a cross-border relationship, not to understand."
After they started dating, this young couple didn't spend much time together. Every time they met, they were all lovey-dovey, so they couldn't understand the noisy and bustling happiness in it.
Xiao Muyu pouted, "You're just full of twisted logic!"
She shrugged. "This isn't some twisted logic; it's what I've been through. Comrade Xiaoyu, you still have a lot to learn. You'll come to understand it gradually in the future."
After dropping Xiao Muyu off at her apartment, the group returned to Wudu.
That evening, Qiao Xing'er called and pulled them into a conference call to repeatedly confirm the itinerary after the guests arrived the next day.
Li Guizhi couldn't help but yawn. "Xiao Li, you must thank your aunt properly after the wedding. She's been through so much."
Xu Feng also said, "Yes, she takes care of all the household chores for this big family, and she still managed to handle the wedding so well, she's really amazing!"
Jiang Xiaoli nodded, "Don't worry, I remember all the kindness my aunt has shown us."
