The wedding of Erwa and Yu Xiang also made many people realize the strength of Zhao Qinglan's family.
After the hustle and bustle subsided, Erwa and Yuxiang only stayed one night in Guangzhou before heading off on their honeymoon.
After resting at home for two days, Zhao Qinglan went to Hong Kong with her aunt.
Xiao Duo had already decided to go to the port city with her mother, and so she brought her whole family along.
Originally, Madam Sun had also invited her sister and Mr. Dou, among others, to go to the port city together.
However, Mrs. Sun was too lazy to make a fuss. She went to Hong Kong but didn't care about the handover ceremony. She just wanted to go home and wait to watch TV.
After attending her younger brother's wedding, Da Wa quickly returned to his unit. Ji Rou originally planned to take her daughter back with her, but Jin'er knew that her younger brother was also going to Hong Kong with their grandmother, so she wanted to go too.
Ji Rou and Da Wa couldn't resist their little girl's pleading, so they had no choice but to leave her behind and go back on their own.
With Grandma Zhao Qinglan and Sanwa and others helping to take care of the children, Dawa Ji Rou was quite at ease.
Since Jin'er was also going to Hong Kong, Sanwa followed along.
The procession heading to the port city was long and impressive.
Madam Sun naturally still hoped that Zhao Qinglan and the others would stay in her own home.
However, Zhao Qinglan felt it was inappropriate and declined.
Lanxin had already opened a shop in Hong Kong. Later, she established a charitable foundation and registered an investment company in Hong Kong.
She now owns quite a few businesses in the port city.
She not only bought property, but also a house.
Owning property has always been one of her hobbies, especially in areas where she has a lot of business dealings with her company.
Zhou Yunting felt embarrassed to freeload off his mother-in-law, but Xiao Duo didn't mind.
However, considering her husband's feelings, Xiaoduo and her family still went to the hotel and booked a suite.
Little Star really likes her older sister Jin'er now, and is very attached to her, so she doesn't want to go back to the hotel with her parents.
"If Xingxing wants to stay, then she can stay. I don't care where you two go, just leave my grandson here," Zhao Qinglan said.
"Mom, now that we have Xingxing, I'm practically relegated to the back of your group," Xiaoduo complained.
"What else did you think?" Zhao Qinglan glanced at her daughter.
Judging from her expression, she didn't know that the young couple wanted some alone time, and she was just creating an opportunity for them.
So she moved in with her youngest son, Xingxing, and Jin'er.
Fortunately, there were more than just the two adults in the house; there was also an assistant who came along, as well as a maid to do housework.
Although the official return date is not yet here, the streets and alleys of the port city are already showing a different atmosphere.
When Zhao Qinglan and her daughter were shopping together, they got tired and sat down to rest in a coffee shop. Looking at the bright national flags hanging in the shops outside, they felt a lot of emotions.
"It looks so nice like this."
Although everyone knew that the port city had been our territory since ancient times.
But only now do I feel a sense of reality.
When Zhao Qinglan and her daughter returned with bags full of their spoils, they saw Jin'er playing house with Xingxing.
The third child sat beside him, looking utterly dejected.
Although he admitted that his niece and nephew were adorable, after taking care of the kids for a long time, he found even the cutest children to be somewhat terrifying.
As a result, Sanwa became increasingly reluctant to get married and have children.
Seeing her son's expression, Zhao Qinglan found it amusing.
“Look at your brother, anyone who didn’t know better would think he’s suffered a lot.”
"He'll understand when he has his own children," Xiaoduo said with a smile.
"No, I don't plan to have children, and I don't even want to get married." Sanwa quickly shook his head, then seemed to realize that his words were somewhat inappropriate, and carefully looked at his mother.
"Sanwa, don't make any vows too early. Be careful you don't meet your true love and fall in love."
“There is absolutely no such possibility,” Sanwa said firmly.
Zhao Qinglan was prepared for her son's statement that he didn't want to get married or have children, so she wasn't angry.
Watching her son and daughter bicker, she couldn't be bothered to chime in.
Whether he gets married or not, it's up to him.
The child is grown up, and she can't control him anymore.
Zhou Yunting didn't stay idle after arriving in Hong Kong; he even went to talk business with people.
When he met Sanwa this time, he also talked to his brother-in-law about their stock situation.
The money that Sanwa invested in stocks was always managed with the help of his brother-in-law, Zhou Yunting.
As time went on, Sanwa even offered to give Zhou Yunting some of the profits as a reward, but Zhou Yunting would never accept that.
If he dares to take his brother-in-law's money, he'll probably be kneeling on a washboard when he gets home.
Two days before Hong Kong's return to China, Li Huai came over with officials.
After arriving in the port city, I met many people, but I didn't have a chance to meet my family.
Zhao Qinglan and the children could understand this special envoy situation.
As June 30th approached, marking the countdown to Hong Kong's return to China, Zhao Qinglan became busy with preparations.
Early in the morning, she got dressed and ready, then got in the car and headed to the scene.
Xiao Duo and the others couldn't go to the venue, but they dressed very formally and took a car to the outside of the venue.
Xingxing and Jin'er didn't know what they were going to do today, but influenced by the adults' emotions, their little faces were also tense today.
To prevent any malicious individuals from causing trouble, the security forces outside the handover ceremony site were very strong.
Zhao Qinglan was able to enter the venue after going through multiple checks.
She had barely sat down when she saw her aunt come in.
The two women were not seated together, but since there was still plenty of time before the handover ceremony began, they gathered together.
As more and more people gathered in the arena, the two of them gradually became excited.
