Since no one else was joining them, they had no choice but to travel alone as a family.
Li Huai was lucky; his boss liked Da Wa very much. Although they had only met twice, he wanted Da Wa's path to marriage to be smoother, so he readily granted Li Huai leave.
Buying tickets, packing luggage, and various other preparations.
There were seven people in their family, plus Ding Yu who followed them for protection, making a total of eight.
Because her husband and several sons were with her this time, Zhao Qinglan didn't bring Liu Dandan, thinking that Ding Yu would be fine with her.
Xiao Chu and Liu Dandan drove them to the station with their luggage.
Travel is a great way to strengthen relationships.
Zhao Qinglan naturally covered all the travel expenses, not letting Ji Rou, a junior, pay a single penny.
If you're willing to spend the money, then the travel experience will be fantastic.
The various eating, drinking, and entertainment activities not only deepened the relationship between Ji Rou and Da Wa, but also made Ji Rou feel more comfortable with the rest of the Li family.
After leaving Fujian Province, Da Wa said he would take Ji Rou home.
After all, they are not officially engaged yet, and Ji Rou's parents are very worried about her being away for so long.
Zhao Qinglan and Li Huai did not object, but they prepared a lot of things for the two of them, including local specialties from Fujian Province, as well as other valuable items such as cigarettes, alcohol, tea, and high-end candies and pastries.
In addition, the couple also gave their son some training and guidance on how to behave in his future in-laws' home, and the eldest son humbly accepted their teachings.
Their daughter didn't come home for the holidays but went directly to her boyfriend's house. Although the Ji couple agreed, how could they not worry?
Sure enough, Uncle Ji started talking about it again.
"Xiaorou called earlier and said they went to Fujian Province for a trip. I don't know when they'll be back. Sigh, she's not even married yet, and she's already never home."
"Okay, what you're saying is making me anxious."
The couple were just talking when someone called from outside. "Dad, Mom, I'm home."
They were stunned for a moment when they heard their daughter's voice as soon as they mentioned her. Then, they were overjoyed and quickly got up to open the door.
Indeed, Ji Rou and Da Wa were both standing in front of the door with their hands full of things, and there was a pile of things at Da Wa's feet.
"Why did you take so much?" Mrs. Ji asked, both surprised and delighted.
"Hello, Uncle! Hello, Auntie!" the eldest child quickly greeted them.
The Ji couple immediately stared at him.
He has a decent appearance, a straight posture, and clear eyes; the first impression is quite good.
Once they entered the house, Ji's father interrogated and "made things difficult" for Da Wa, while Ji's mother pulled her daughter aside and asked her questions in a low voice.
Because her eldest daughter was still alive, Ji's mother couldn't ask too many questions in detail. However, after hearing what her daughter said, her expression gradually softened.
No wonder my parents gave me such earnest advice before I came.
After talking with his future father-in-law for a while, Da Wa felt that the sweat on his back was about to soak his clothes.
When evening came, after the eldest child went to rest, Ji's mother pulled her daughter into her own bedroom, and the couple asked their daughter some questions.
"Dad, Mom, Uncle and Aunt are all very good to me. I'm not lying to you. Yan Sen's younger brother and sister are also very good. Their family atmosphere is very good."
"Silly child, we're only asking because we're worried about you."
When it comes to marriage, the first thing to consider is the future husband, and the second is the mother-in-law. Knowing that Zhao Qinglan is a good person, the Ji couple were truly relieved.
The couple was very satisfied that their eldest child could bring things to their door.
"What are your plans for the future, you two?" asked Ji's father.
"Dad, we're thinking of graduating first and then seeing where we want to work. As for other things, we'll talk about them after we've settled into our jobs."
"Are you stupid? Once you graduate, we'll settle your relationship status first." Ji's mother poked her daughter's forehead.
With such a good prospective son-in-law, what if he gets snatched away by someone else? It's better to settle things down and have a formal status first.
"Oh, Mom, you don't object to us?" She thought her mother didn't want her to get married so early.
"You two are already like this, what's the point of my objection?" She didn't want to say that she really didn't intend to object, nor did she want to praise her daughter for having good taste, for fear that her daughter would become arrogant.
Although Ji's father was unhappy that his daughter had been taken advantage of so early, he also understood the implications.
“Your mother is right. Since you two have decided on each other and have met each other’s parents, it’s better to settle things officially as soon as possible.” Even though he was reluctant to part with his daughter.
"Dad, I understand. I'll discuss it with Yan Sen." Ji Rou nodded obediently.
“If that kid dares to disagree, I’ll break his legs.” Father Ji glared.
Seeing how much her parents cared for her, Ji Rou felt touched and happy.
When Da Wa brought Ji Rou home, the people in the residential area were curious and concerned. Ji Rou had suddenly brought her boyfriend home, and everyone here was curious too.
Ji's mother was anything but reserved; she inadvertently revealed her future son-in-law's qualities.
Some people wanted to see her make a fool of herself, but after learning about Da Wa's family situation and her own circumstances, they couldn't laugh anymore.
Even the girls in the family compound who were around the same age as Ji Rou and used to compare themselves to her were now feeling very upset.
Seeing Ji Rou walking around with her eldest child so openly, and seeing the child's appearance, made her feel even more distressed.
Thanks to his outstanding performance and ambition, Da Wa has established himself firmly in the Ji family.
When he took his leave, Madam Ji called out to Yan Sen so affectionately, she was reluctant to let him go.
Ji Rou also has an older brother who is married and has children. Before leaving, Da Wa also hurriedly went home to see Da Wa.
The eldest brother-in-law has always been unfriendly to anyone who takes away his sister. The eldest son was also given a hard time and several warnings by his future brother-in-law.
After finally leaving the Ji family, Da Wa felt that these past few days had been more exhausting than when he was preparing for the college entrance examination, but fortunately he passed it smoothly.
Before the holiday was over, he rushed home to spend his last summer vacation with his family.
Upon learning about her son's experience at the Ji family, Zhao Qinglan teased her husband.
"Look how easy it was for you to marry me back then. There was no father-in-law to make things difficult for you, and no brother-in-law to dislike you. Even the marriage itself wasn't something you were willing to do; I had to take the initiative."
Li Huai touched his nose sheepishly. "Back then, I knew how good you were. If I had known, I would have taken you home long ago."
"Come on, if you weren't divorced from Zhu Kexin, I wouldn't even bother with you." She had no interest in stealing other people's husbands.
Initially, she wanted to remarry Li Huai, partly due to the bond between them from their previous life, but more importantly, she wanted to change the fate of her two children, Da Wa and Er Wa, as soon as possible.
As for the later harmonious relationship between husband and wife and the harmonious family, it can only be said to be the result of their mutual accommodation.
Managing relationships and families is never a one-person job.
When his wife mentioned his ex-wife, Li Huai wisely refrained from arguing about it and instead shut her up.
You can't bring up old grievances. Regardless of whether it was his fault or not, it's best not to let his wife continue talking about it, otherwise he'll be the one who suffers.
