Jiang Xiaoli's eyes lit up, "I didn't even get to eat meatball hot and sour soup when I went back to Xi'an the other day!"
Zong Jia raised an eyebrow. "That's perfect. Try it now, I'll go give it to my godmother."
She suddenly felt a little guilty. "Do you think my mom knows I didn't come home last night?"
Zong Jia shrugged. "Little Pear, aren't you at home right now?"
Jiang Xiaoli understood what he meant, and she nodded. "Comrade Xiao Zong, I will definitely be more careful in the future when I read your words. There are quite a few pitfalls in them."
Zong Jia was helpless, but he gave up arguing with her and turned to deliver the meatball soup.
Sure enough, when Li Guizhi heard him say that his daughter was having breakfast across the street, she just assumed that she had gone out early in the morning.
She asked, "Xiao Zong, I'm going to 'Heyuan' today to help Xiao Yu and the others tidy up their house. Do you need anything new or furnished for your house?"
Zong Jiayu thought for a moment and said, "Godmother, if you're going to prepare something, I'll just need a few sets of bedding."
Li Guizhi nodded, "Okay, then I'll buy them together later."
Zong Jia returned to the house and discussed with Jiang Xiaoli, "Xiaoli, how about we move to 'Heyuan'? It's closer to the company, and all your friends live there now. Dafu and Zhong Yuan didn't come back last night, and I think they'll move there soon too."
Jiang Xiaoli ate a meatball and said, "Yes, our place is only close to the school; it's far to go to other places."
She made her decision quickly: "Then let's move. I'll go talk to my mom."
But Li Guizhi was even more decisive than her: "From now on, when your Aunt Xu comes, I'll move to 'Heyuan.' You can decide where you want to live."
She suddenly felt abandoned as her mother became independent.
Jiang Xiaoli hugged Li Guizhi, who was packing her things, and said, "Mom, I want to go with you!"
Li Guizhi had no choice but to say, "I know! I've hired a housekeeper to come and clean the house today. Tell me your needs quickly."
"You can decide for me!"
"Okay, I'm leaving then."
Li Guizhi opened the door to go out, but was startled by a group of people staring at her from the doorway.
Who are you?
Just then, Jiang Chengle ran over from the door across the street, "Third Aunt, do you remember me? We met last time!"
Li Guizhi frowned, looking at the dozen or so people at the door, and a guess formed in her mind.
She said to the person inside, "Xiao Li, go change your clothes." Then she took two steps back and welcomed them inside.
When Jiang Xiaoli heard Jiang Chengle's voice and her mother telling her to change her clothes, she had a guess in her mind.
She changed her clothes and came out to find more than ten people sitting in the living room.
The two elderly people sitting in the middle of the sofa greeted her warmly, "Xiao Li, I'm Grandma!" and "Xiao Li, I'm Grandpa!"
Jiang Xiaoli smiled slightly at them and said, "Hello."
Then she turned to look at Jiang Ruilin and Jiang Chengle, "The test results are out?"
Jiang Chengle excitedly said, "It's out! It's out! Xiaoli, your DNA is extremely similar to your uncle's. Your uncle had a full genome sequence compared, and you are indeed your third uncle's daughter!"
Jiang Xiaoli was not surprised by the result.
At this moment, a middle-aged woman dressed in luxurious clothes came over and took her hand. "Xiao Li, I am your aunt. Our whole family flew to China as soon as we received the test results. We are so happy to see you today!"
Another younger woman spoke up, "Xiao Li, I'm your second aunt. It's a pleasure to meet you."
In a short while, everyone present introduced themselves.
Grandma Jiang even pulled Li Guizhi's hand and asked her to sit down next to her.
She took off the jade bracelet she was wearing and put it on Li Guizhi's wrist, but Li Guizhi quickly tried to refuse.
The old lady held her hand. "Daughter, we have little connection with the third son, but no matter what, you are still a member of the Jiang family. This is what I, as a mother-in-law, am giving to my daughter-in-law!"
Grandpa Jiang also chimed in, "Yes, from now on we're family. I'm so grateful to you for raising such a wonderful child as Xiaoli."
Li Guizhi had never dealt with her in-laws before, and she was a little flustered. She subconsciously looked at her daughter.
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and nodded at her, "Mom, please keep it. Have you forgotten what Dad meant?"
Upon hearing her words, the people in the room asked in unison, "What does Dad mean?"
Grandma Jiang asked excitedly, "Xiao Li, what do you mean by that?"
Jiang Xiaoli realized that her words had caused a misunderstanding, so she quickly explained what had happened in front of the tombstone.
Grandpa Jiang patted Grandma Jiang's hand, his eyes filled with tears, and said, "Ruiqi is thinking of us!"
Grandma Jiang also felt a little sad, "Yes! My son wants to come home!"
Seeing how much sadness the two elderly people had felt from her few words, Jiang Xiaoli was at a loss for words.
Jiang Ruilin spoke up at the right moment, "Father, Mother, we've come to see Xiaoli today, so cheer up!"
The two elders finally calmed down, and Grandpa Jiang smiled at Jiang Xiaoli and said, "Xiaoli, since you say Ruiqi is willing to acknowledge his family, let's settle the matter of acknowledging the family as soon as possible, okay?"
"Ruichi? Is that my dad's original name?"
Grandma Jiang smiled and said, "Yes, I gave birth to twins back then, a bunch of 'unicorn' babies. The older one was named Jiang Ruiqi, and the younger one was named Jiang Ruilin. But fate is cruel, and my time with the 'unicorns' only lasted a few months..."
Jiang Ruilin comforted her, "Mother, now that we've found Third Brother, you still have your granddaughter, Xiaoli."
"Yes!" Grandma Jiang smiled and patted Li Guizhi's hand. "Girl, thank you. Ruiqi has been gone for so many years. It must have been hard for you to raise Xiaoli all by yourself. You've suffered so much!"
Li Guizhi shook her head, "With Xiaoli by my side, it's not bitter."
Grandpa Jiang looked at them and smiled slightly, "Good, good! From now on we are family, and more people will love Xiaoli."
Jiang Chengle was the first to jump out, "Yes! Little Pear, shouldn't you call me brother now?"
The aunt, who was standing nearby, pinched her son and said, "Look at you, you're not acting like an older brother at all!"
"Hahaha." Everyone in the Jiang family laughed inside the room.
At this moment, Jiang Ruilin very considerately spoke up, "Third sister-in-law, Xiaoli, let me introduce my family to you, otherwise you won't know how to address them."
He introduced each member of the Jiang family to them one by one.
Grandpa Jiang Xingcan, Grandma Jiang Chenyan.
Jiang Ruibo, the eldest brother of the Jiang family, his wife Qiao Xing'er, his son Jiang Chengle, and his daughter Jiang Qingxue.
Jiang Ruixin, the second brother of the Jiang family, his wife Wang Min, his son Jiang Chengtong, and his daughter Jiang Qingning.
Finally, he said, "Third Sister-in-law, you and Xiaoli are now family with us."
