"Uncle, Auntie, let's go home first."
Wu Yuqing smiled and stepped forward, inviting the Sheng family members to leave, get into the car, and then head straight for the Wu family.
Upon arriving at the Wu family's residence in Xicheng, the jeep stopped, and Sheng Liancheng and the others got out of the car.
There were still guards standing at the gate of the Wu family's residence. When Sheng Liancheng saw this, he felt uneasy. The Wu family's social standing was indeed quite high.
"Uncle, let's go inside. My dad, my mom, and my second uncle and aunt are all waiting."
The brothers Wu Yuqing and Wu Yucheng very politely ushered the Sheng family into the courtyard.
Led by the Wu siblings, the group arrived at the reception room.
At this moment, the entire Wu family was sitting in the reception room waiting. Wu Bingzhong and Wu Bingyi had taken the day off and returned from work early to meet the Sheng family.
"Dad, Mom, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Uncle Sheng and Aunt Zhang have arrived."
Wu Yuqing quickened her pace and entered the reception room first to inform her parents.
The two couples, Wu Bingzhong and Yu Wenlan, and Wu Bingyi and Zhao Wanyue, quickly stood up from their chairs and took two steps to greet them.
Just then, Sheng Liancheng and his wife, leading their children, came in from outside, and the two sides met face to face.
Wu Bingzhong stepped forward and shook hands with Sheng Liancheng. "Brother Sheng, I've heard so much about you. I've always heard Xikang talk about you. It's great to finally meet you in person today. Please, please have a seat."
Wu Bingzhong joined the army early and got married later, but he was older than Sheng Liancheng, so he called Sheng Liancheng "little brother".
"Oh, no, no, I'm sorry for bothering you. Please forgive me, sir," Sheng Liancheng hurriedly said.
Although Wu Bingzhong's military green uniform did not reveal his rank, it only showed four pockets symbolizing an officer.
However, judging from the guards standing at the entrance of the Wu family's house, it is clear that the person in front of them must be of a high rank.
Sheng Liancheng was just a forestry worker; he had never seen such a high-ranking official before.
Sheng Liancheng's heart started pounding the moment he entered the door, and when he heard Wu Bingzhong address him as "brother," his heart skipped a beat.
Wu Bingzhong chuckled upon hearing this, "Brother Sheng, this is home, and you're not my subordinate, so there's no need to address me like that."
We have a personal relationship, and will be in-laws in the future. My second son and Xiping are also business partners who run a company together.
Just call me "brother," don't be shy.
"This, this..." Sheng Liancheng was still somewhat hesitant.
It's not his fault. After all, Sheng Liancheng had never met any high-ranking officials in his life, at most the director and secretary of the Forestry Bureau.
It's only natural to have this reaction upon seeing Wu Bingzhong.
"Dad, it's alright, your uncle's family is all very nice," Sheng Xikang interjected, trying to reassure Sheng Liancheng.
Sheng Liancheng thought about it and realized that it made sense. No matter how high the other party's status was, it was none of his business.
"Well, then I won't stand on ceremony, Brother Wu." Sheng Liancheng smiled憨厚ly and changed his form of address.
"That's more like it. Come on, brother and sister-in-law, please have a seat." Wu Bingzhong smiled and invited Sheng Liancheng and his wife to sit down.
At this moment, Sheng Xiping placed the items he had brought on the coffee table.
"Uncle, we came in a hurry this time and didn't prepare anything. It's just some local products from our hometown. Please don't mind."
During his time back at the forest farm for the Spring Festival, Sheng Xiping collected some items from the forest farm and the Dajianchang, which he originally intended to take to the south for social occasions.
There are tonics such as red ginseng, snow frog oil, lingzhi, and deer antler, as well as hazel mushrooms, frozen mushrooms, and wood ear fungus.
This trip was to accompany his parents back to their hometown, after which he would head straight to Shenzhen, so Sheng Xiping brought all the things he had collected with him.
I had originally planned to visit the Wu family tomorrow morning, bringing two local products and two gifts to be placed there.
As a result, Wu Yucheng and the others went to pick him up at the station and didn't have a chance to buy anything. So, when they were at the hotel earlier, Sheng Xiping picked out a few expensive tonics to bring back, which could be saved for Old Master Wu to nourish his body.
"Look at you, every time you come back, you bring something. We're all family, why be so polite?"
Wu Bingzhong had no idea what Sheng Xiping had brought, assuming it was just something ordinary, and said with a smile.
“I heard from Yucheng that Brother Sheng’s family is passing through the capital this time and is going to transfer to another train back to their hometown in Shandong.”
I know that my younger brother is worried about our parents at home and is probably extremely anxious, wishing he could rush home as soon as possible.
So I specially sent Yuqing and Yucheng to pick him up from the station and invited my younger brother's family to have a small gathering at my place.
Don't worry, it definitely won't delay your family's journey. Tomorrow morning, I'll have Yuqing and Yucheng take you to the station.
The Wu family wanted to take this opportunity to meet Sheng Liancheng and his wife. After all, Sheng Xikang and Wu Yuhua had been dating for a year, and the Wu family was quite satisfied with Sheng Xikang.
This summer, Wu Yuhua will graduate and be assigned a job, and next will be the wedding of Sheng Xikang and Wu Yuhua.
It's time for both sets of parents to meet and discuss the marriage.
"Thank you for your understanding, Brother Wu. In fact, my wife and I should have visited you long ago, but we have been delayed by other matters."
I was planning to come over when it gets warmer in the summer, but something happened in my hometown again.
"Since I'm passing through the capital on this train journey, I absolutely have to stop by and visit Brother Wu, Sister-in-law Wu, and Uncle Wu."
Sheng Liancheng quickly explained that they had originally intended to come, and it was not because the Wu family arranged for someone to pick them up that they had no choice but to come.
Wu Bingzhong nodded upon hearing this, "Yes, in this life, who isn't busy all their life?"
"Once you've finished taking care of things at home, my brother, you must stay in the capital for a few days on your way back. Let Xikang and Yuhua show you around."
