Jiang Li walked obediently to her grandmother and picked up the teacup.
"Grandma's cooking skills are still as good as ever. I need to learn more from her in the future."
She also knows some skills of tea ceremony, but she only knows the basics.
Compared to her grandmother, she is a rookie.
"If you like it, drink more. This tea is a reward from the higher-ups for your uncle. It's hard to buy outside."
"If you like, I'll pack some for you when we leave."
Jiang Li smiled faintly, "No need, grandma, I also brought you some tea this time."
"Chinese New Year is coming soon, so I bought you some New Year's goods. I don't know if you like them."
After hearing Jiang Li's words, Ouyang Qing hadn't spoken yet when she heard Zhang Ying say, "We like whatever you buy. Even if you don't buy anything, I'll be happy as long as you're here."
"I didn't know you were back until I received a call from A Yu yesterday."
"You kid, you didn't even send me a message or call me in advance when you came back. If I knew you were coming back, I would definitely go pick you up."
Jiang Li put down the teacup and said, "I didn't expect that the higher-ups would approve my return, so I didn't have time to tell anyone about the temporary arrangements."
"Even my grandma back home doesn't know I'm back yet."
Zhang Ying heard her words and sighed, "I know your place. You can't contact outsiders casually."
"I wanted to mail you things a few times before, but A Yu stopped me every time."
"They said it was inconvenient to receive it there."
"Your face is so thin, you must have had a hard time these years, right?"
This is my favorite daughter-in-law, and I look forward to her coming back soon every day.
My son is already grown up, so luckily I didn’t have to wait too long.
"Auntie, I've been living well these years, except that I can't go out casually."
"The director there took good care of me, and even the uncle in the cafeteria often cooked special meals for me."
"Although I have lost some weight, I have grown taller."
"If you don't believe me, take a look."
Jiang Li said this and stood up.
Seeing that she seemed to have grown taller, Zhang Ying smiled and said, "It seems that you are not lacking in nutrition, which is good."
"By the way, I've kept the chicken soup warm for you. I'll go get you a bowl now."
"Knowing you were coming, I started stewing it early in the morning."
Jiang Li felt warm inside when others cared about him.
"Thank you, Auntie."
"You're welcome. Once you're here, just treat it like your home. You guys chat first. I'll be back soon."
Zhang Ying is a straightforward person, and he does things without any hesitation.
"Find a big bowl and fill it with good meat for Jiang Li."
When Jiang Li saw such deep love, she always felt that she owed A Yu all these years.
"Auntie, isn't this too much? You guys should eat some too."
Zhang Ying waved her hand and said, "No, this is specially stewed for you. Eat more, there is more in the pot."
"I heard from A Yu that you plan to get the marriage certificate after the New Year?"
Jiang Li nodded, "Yes, A Yu has waited for me for so many years, I have to give him some reassurance, that is, the wedding will be postponed."
"It's not convenient for my parents to come back now. I want to buy it when they come back. Is that ok?"
She had promised her parents and cousin that they must be present at her wedding.
"Well, it's nothing, you two can just discuss it among yourselves, we have no objection."
"You are the only girl in your family. If you were my daughter, we would also feel regretful if we were not present at your wedding. So, Auntie understands you."
Seeing her mother-in-law was so reasonable, Jiang Li smiled and replied, "Thank you, but I won't wait too long, at most one year."
Calculating the time, it will take at most a year for the businessmen there to come to the inland to invest.
Then my parents can come back openly.
I don’t know where my fifth brother went and how he’s been doing over the years.
After three years of seclusion, she found that many things were waiting for her when she came back.
Under the watchful eyes of the two elders, I drank a big bowl of chicken soup and my body warmed up.
"Auntie, where is the lightning? I'll go check it out, and when I go back at night, I'll bring it back with me."
"I have caused you trouble over the past few years."
Speaking of the dog, Zhang Ying couldn't help but complain: "I really can't take care of your dog. I only take it out for a walk when A Yu is at home."
"We've raised it for so many years, and sometimes it would even bare its teeth at us."
"It's in the backyard, tied up with an iron chain by Ayu, for fear that it might run out and bite someone when he's not at home."
"If a dog that big really bit someone, it would probably kill them on the spot."
When Jiang Li heard that his dog was so naughty, he said embarrassedly: "I didn't expect something like that to happen back then."
"If I had known I would not have done that."
When she thought about how her impulse had isolated her from the world for three years, she felt a little regretful.
"Kid, you did the right thing back then. If I had the ability, I would do the same."
"The reason why our country is so backward today is all caused by those people."
"You are simply venting the anger of us Chinese people."
"But now that you're back this time, those people won't come looking for you again, right?"
Jiang Li shook his head. "I don't know either. If the enemy comes, we will fight him with our generals. If the water comes, we will block it with earth."
"Anyway, if they dare to come again, I will take care of them one by one. They are all people who cannot stand the light of day. If they die, they die."
Zhang Ying hummed, "Just be aware of this and be careful."
"Yes, I know."
As they chatted, it started to get dark outside.
Huo Zhenting and Huo Beiyu drove home one after the other.
Even Huo Beichen brought his two sons back to the old house today.
His younger brother has been waiting for this person for so many years, and he is very curious about what kind of girl could make his younger brother think about her for so many years.
It was not until he saw Jiang Li in person that he could not help but sigh that his brother had such good taste.
"Hello, I'm the eldest brother Huo Beichen, and these are my two sons, Nancheng and Nanze."
"Hello, big brother. Hello, little friends."
Huo Nancheng, who is already 11 years old, pulled his six-year-old brother and said, "Hello, auntie, you are so beautiful."
Jiang Li smiled sweetly and said, "You are also very handsome. Come, I will give you some candy."
Seeing Jiang Li grab a handful of large candies from his pocket, Nancheng did not take it directly, but looked at his father.
After seeing this, Huo Beichen said in a gentle voice: "Take it, this is given by my aunt. From now on, you will be one of ours."
Nancheng saw that his father agreed, so he took the candy and said, "Thank you, auntie."
When Nan Ze saw his brother saying thank you, he also said in a baby voice, "Thank you, Auntie."
