Zhao Guohui hadn't seen Zhou Yuanyuan for a long time. He wanted to stay and let Yu Meiru go to work!
Today, Zhao Guohui and Yu Meiru's company was holding a mid-year summary meeting. Otherwise, Zhao Guohui and Yu Meiru would definitely not even think about it and would just skip work. The company has so many people, and if he and Yu Meiru had to do everything themselves, wouldn't they be exhausted?
Unfortunately, today's meeting is very important, and Zhao Guohui and his wife must at least attend one of them.
"Ru, you go to the company today! I'll stay at home and talk to Yuanyuan." Zhao Guohui didn't want to leave.
"Guohui, hurry up and leave, it's almost time." Seeing that Zhao Guohui looked reluctant to leave, Yu Meiru could guess what he was thinking and hurriedly urged him.
"Okay, okay! Uncle and aunt, I'm not a guest, I don't need you to accompany me. You two should go to work. I have something to talk to grandpa about!" Seeing this, Zhou Yuanyuan hurriedly drove them away.
Zhou Yuanyuan was afraid that Yu Meiru and the others would stay at home, and it would be inconvenient for Cao to talk to Zhao Qingshan.
After all, when Cao was at Zhou's house, he had to convey a few words to Zhao Qingshan on behalf of Aunt Gu, and his expression was a little strange. Zhou Yuanyuan had to be on guard.
In today's world, sending a message is incredibly easy. If you don't want to spend money on a phone call, you can just write a letter! With eight cents a stamp, you can easily fill three pages with your message.
Besides, Aunt Gu and Zhao Yunxiang talk on the phone at least twice a year! What could be the reason why Aunt Gu couldn't just let Zhao Yunxiang deliver the message to Zhao Qingshan, but instead asked Cao to make a special trip? This made Zhou Yuanyuan's imagination run wild.
For example: Are there any secrets between her grandfather and Aunt Gu?
"Is there really something wrong?" Yu Meiru didn't believe it and glanced at Zhou Yuanyuan and Zhao Cao.
Cao Jin was wearing the skirt that Zhou Yuanyuan gave her. She looked so graceful and elegant that you couldn't tell that she was a country girl.
Zhou Yuanyuan then remembered that she had not yet introduced Zhao Cao's identity to Yu Meiru and the others.
"Aunt, this is Zhao Cao, from our Zhaojiagou. She just arrived in Kyoto and is not very old. I..." Zhou Yuanyuan originally wanted to tell Ming Cao that she was her "future sister-in-law", but after thinking about it, she decided not to.
Yu Meiru and her husband had nothing else to do and wanted to stay home. If they found out Cao's true identity, they would definitely not leave. "Zhou Jiasheng's girlfriend" would definitely arouse Zhao Guohui and Yu Meiru's great curiosity.
After hearing what Zhou Yuanyuan said, Zhao Guohui finally noticed the girl standing next to Zhou Yuanyuan. At first, Zhao Guohui thought she was Zhou Yuanyuan's classmate in Kyoto City!
Cao's appearance is 50% similar to her father Zhao Hongsheng, and the other 50% is like her mother Zheng Qiulian. However, Zhao Cao inherited all the good qualities of her parents. Except for her delicate figure, which is similar to her grandmother Gu, her appearance is much more delicate than her parents.
Zhao Guohui knew Cao's father, Zhao Hongsheng, very well. After learning that Cao was from Zhaojiagou, Zhao Guohui had roughly guessed Cao's identity based on her somewhat familiar appearance. It was no wonder, considering Zhao Guohui had been away from Zhaojiagou for nearly ten years, when Cao was still a little girl! It was understandable that he didn't recognize her at first.
"Is it the grass from Brother Hongsheng's house? It's grown so big that I can hardly recognize it." After hearing that Zhou Yuanyuan's grass was from Zhaojiagou, Zhao Guohui thought for a moment and almost guessed the identity of the grass.
The name Cao is also unique in Zhaojiagou.
Most girls in Zhaojiagou, Cao's age, were given names like "Hong," "Ying," and "Li." Only Aunt Gu, who preferred the name Cao, insisted on having her granddaughter named it. At the time, Aunt Gu held the most important position in the family, and Cao's parents didn't dare object.
"Hello, Uncle Guohui. Hello, Aunt Yu." Cao greeted Zhao Guohui and his wife at the right time.
Seeing Cao's response, Yu Meiru couldn't help but look at her with a higher opinion.
If it were any other girl, Zhou Yuanyuan would have rushed to introduce herself to Zhao Guohui and his wife during their casual conversation. After all, being ignored is not something to be happy about.
But Cao was not anxious at all. She just stood aside, as quiet as an orchid. When Zhao Guohui and the others turned their gaze to Cao, Zhao Cao greeted them politely.
"Cao! Is your grandma in good health? I haven't seen her for a few years." After learning of Cao's identity, Zhao Guohui greeted him warmly.
When fellow villagers meet, their eyes fill with tears! According to the custom in Zhaoyuyuan County, greeting the elders in the family when relatives and friends who haven't seen each other for a long time is the highest standard of courtesy, and Zhao Guohui is certainly no exception.
"My grandma is in good health and can eat half a bowl of white rice in one meal." Cao replied with a smile.
In rural areas, a person's health is measured by how much rice they can eat. Generally speaking, being able to eat at least a bowl of rice at a meal indicates good health. The fact that Aunt Zhao Caogu could only eat half a bowl of rice at a meal meant that Aunt Minggu's health wasn't great, but it wasn't too bad either.
"Ten years ago, Aunt Gu was still as healthy as ever! Damn! When Aunt Gu is stronger, let her come to Kyoto to play." Zhao Guohui said a few polite words.
"Okay, thank you Uncle Guohui." Cao nodded.
With Cao there, Zhao Guohui didn't plan to stay home. Anyway, he had something to do with Zhou Yuanyuan, so it wouldn't matter if he did it later.
After Zhao Guohui made up his mind, he greeted her warmly, "Cao, since you're here, you and Yuanyuan shouldn't rush to leave. I'll get off work early."
Cao didn't know what Zhou Yuanyuan was planning, so he didn't answer Zhao Guohui's question and turned his gaze to Zhou Yuanyuan beside him.
"Okay, okay! It's getting late, uncle and aunt, you should hurry up and go!" Zhou Yuanyuan saw that Yu Meiru had secretly looked at her watch once, so she hurried to get rid of them.
Yu Meiru and Zhao Guohui had similar ideas, so they didn't bother to be polite with Zhou Yuanyuan. They opened the car door and got in.
Seeing that Zhou Yuanyuan agreed to his request of "not leaving in a hurry", Zhao Guohui stepped on the accelerator with a smile on his face.
Only after Zhao Guohui's car disappeared from sight did Zhou Yuanyuan and Cao walk into the Zhao family's courtyard.
Zhao Qingshan was standing in the corridor looking around. When he saw Zhou Yuanyuan, he quickly ran back and sat back in the living room, pretending to watch TV with great interest.
Zhou Yuanyuan’s spiritual consciousness had already “seen” Zhao Qingshan’s series of actions, and she couldn’t help but smile.
"Grandpa~!" Zhou Yuanyuan shouted at the door of the living room, her voice full of coquettishness.
Zhao Qingshan turned his eyes away from the TV and pretended to have just seen Zhou Yuanyuan. He said in surprise, "Oh my! I thought my eyes were blurry! It turns out it's really Jiu who's here!"
