The Cheng family was very lively. The dishes had already been set out, and they were waiting for Cheng Haoyu to bring his wife back for dinner.
"Dayu, they are back, they are back." Zhang Fengrong looked out the kitchen window and shouted excitedly.
Then the two aunts and the aunt who were helping in the kitchen also looked over and said, "It's really them. Hurry up and prepare the dumplings."
Zhang Fengrong and Cheng Dayu had already gone out to greet him. Zhang Fengrong, still wearing an apron, shed a few tears of excitement when she saw her eldest son: "Son, why have you lost weight?"
"Mom, not only did I not lose weight, I even gained two pounds." Cheng Haoyu felt bad when he saw his mother crying.
"Why are you crying? Let the children come into the house quickly, dinner will be ready soon." Cheng Dayu rolled his eyes at Zhang Fengrong, signaling her to stop crying.
"Xinyi, I'm sorry. I haven't seen my eldest son for a long time. I'm a little excited." Zhang Fengrong also knew that she was rude in front of her eldest daughter-in-law. She quickly wiped away her tears with her apron and reached out to pull Zheng Xinyi.
"Aunt, I understand." Zheng Xinyi shook her hand back and smiled slightly, as if to express her understanding.
Zhang Fengrong nodded slightly: "Children, let's go inside, everyone."
Because there were many people from the Cheng family, one table could not accommodate them all, so they set up two tables, one for the elders and the other for the children.
"Xinyi, this is uncle and auntie." Cheng Haoyu pulled Zheng Xinyi and said to the man and woman sitting in the main seat.
The old lady glanced at Zheng Xinyi with sharp eyes, then smiled slightly, making it impossible to see what she was thinking. The old man was honest and said nothing, just looked at her and laughed. Zheng Xinyi could tell from her sharp eyes that the old man must be very afraid of the old lady. In their family, the old lady must have the final say.
"This is my cousin, their daughter, and this is my brother-in-law." Because there are many people in the Cheng family, Cheng Haoyu was afraid that Zheng Xinyi would not be able to remember them, so he introduced them as a family first, so that it would be easier to remember.
Zheng Xinyi smiled at them and nodded politely.
"This is my third uncle." Cheng Haoyu pulled her and said to the man lying on the kang and still snoring.
"Your third uncle drank too much last night, and the alcohol hasn't worn off yet." The old man reached out and patted the third uncle, looking at Zheng Xinyi embarrassedly.
"This is my third aunt and my aunt." Cheng Haoyu said, pointing at the two women who had just walked out of the kitchen.
"Haoyu is back." The old aunt smiled at him.
"My second uncle and second aunt are cooking the dumplings." Cheng Haoyu said, pointing to the couple who were making dumplings in the kitchen.
Zheng Xinyi swallowed her saliva. Why does the Cheng family have so many relatives?
"I'm your second aunt, this is your second uncle, and the person next to him is my son." The lady who was washing the wine glasses introduced herself directly.
"The Cheng family has many relatives, so it's normal that you can't remember them all at once. Let's eat first and then get to know each other slowly later." Cheng Dayu said.
"That's right. After the wedding ceremony tomorrow, we will be a family." It was the aunt who spoke.
At the dinner table, everyone was talking at once, and few people paid attention to Zheng Xinyi, which made her feel very uncomfortable. However, her husband was the center of attention, and the elders kept praising him, which made Zheng Xinyi feel even more uncomfortable, as if she was at a loss for him to marry her since he was so outstanding.
Although it was a rare occasion to eat dumplings, Zheng Xinyi was not in the mood. Facing so many unfamiliar faces, she missed the Zheng family a little. She didn't know what her parents were doing now.
