After buying the pastries, Aunt Chi finally dared to speak: "Oh my, this capital city is so nice. Even such a good pastry shop doesn't look down on us."
Seeing Aunt Chi's happy expression, Meng Kuo laughed: "We went in and spent money, why should they look down on us?"
"Hehe, the capital is great, but things are a bit expensive."
Aunt Chi couldn't help but gasp when she thought about the money she had just spent.
Old Man Chi glared at her angrily: "What are you saying? Do you think things in the capital are the same price as things in our small town?"
This woman is getting increasingly unrestrained with her words.
The items were bought for the Meng family. What does it mean to say the items are expensive in front of Kuo'er?
"That's true, that's true."
Aunt Chi nodded.
Meng Kuo hadn't even considered that possibility. He asked excitedly, "Uncle, how many days are you planning to stay? I happen to have a day off tomorrow, so I'll take you on a tour of the capital!"
He already had plans, but since the Chi family had arrived, he naturally had to receive them first.
Old Man Chi truthfully explained his family's arrangements.
"...I'm not going shopping anymore, I don't want to embarrass you."
"What's so shameful about this? We're all just ordinary people, living our lives with integrity. What's there to be ashamed of?"
"Hey, my parents are just worried that Tangtang will be targeted by bad people." Little Fifth Brother didn't hide anything from Meng Kuo.
What else is hidden in front of Guagua?
Meng Kuo blinked; he really hadn't thought of that.
but……
"Tangtang is over a year old, it's normal for her to be able to talk. Just be careful what she says, she should be fine." Meng Kuo felt that the Chi family was worrying too much.
It's perfectly normal for a one-year-old to be able to talk, and some toddlers do act like little adults.
Although intelligent, he is not particularly outstanding.
"Sigh, we'll see."
Old Man Chi was clearly unwilling, but he couldn't directly refuse Meng Kuo, so he said this.
Meng Kuo immediately stopped asking questions.
They arrived at the Meng family's residence soon.
It just so happens that the main people of Duanhui County are going out.
However, when she saw her son return, Princess Duanhui stopped and asked with concern, "Kuo'er, didn't you go out to play? Why are you back?"
Meng Kuo lowered his head, took a few steps forward, and introduced them: "Uncle and Aunt, this is my mother, Princess Duanhui."
"The county princess?"
"Is he an official?"
"Oh dear, then kneel down quickly."
Uncle Chi and Aunt Chi immediately pulled Little Fifth Brother to kneel down and pay their respects.
Princess Duanhui did not stop him. She nodded demurely and said nothing, only looking at Meng Kuo as if waiting for him to speak.
"Uncle and Aunt, please get up."
Meng Kuo pursed his lips and first helped the two elders up.
Once they had all stood up, he introduced them to Princess Duanhui: "This is my Uncle Chi, this is Fifth Brother, and this is Tangtang."
"The Chi family?"
"Before, Chenyi and I..."
"Oh, it's them."
Seeing that Princess Duanhui seemed to have just remembered, Meng Kuo snorted coldly, seemingly somewhat displeased.
The Chi family members also sensed the undercurrent between the mother and son, and dared not speak, their hearts pounding.
What's going on here?
"Is Mother going out? Then hurry up and go." Meng Kuo urged her hastily.
Princess Duanhui had something to attend to, so she left.
Throughout the entire process, he did not speak to the Chi family for even a moment.
Seeing Meng Kuo's sullen expression, Little Fifth Brother said, "Guagua, you're really amazing! Your mother is actually a county princess!"
"What's so great about her being a county princess!"
Aunt Chi gave her youngest son a look, and the fifth son immediately changed the subject, praising the Meng family mansion for its grandeur and magnificence.
Meng Kuo quickly put this slight displeasure behind him.
Because of the long journey, Meng Kuo first arranged for the Chi family to rest in a courtyard for a while, while he went to find his father.
Unfortunately, Mr. Meng was out and not at home.
When Meng Kuo returned home dejectedly, he unexpectedly encountered his elder sister-in-law's maidservant there, which made him somewhat anxious.
What are you doing here?
"Greetings, young master." After bowing and greeting, the maid replied, "The eldest young mistress heard that the fans brought by the guests in the manor are very refreshing, so she sent me to inquire about them."
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Meng family was very sensitive to heat because she was pregnant, but she was also afraid that using ice would make her catch a cold, so she had not used ice.
The person was so hot and bothered that they couldn't eat or sleep well, which worried the whole household.
Upon hearing this, Meng Kuo immediately said, "That fan was brought by an elder of mine. Come with me."
The maid followed Meng Kuo inside.
Upon entering the living room, a refreshing breeze of cool water greets you, instantly making you feel much more comfortable.
On a hot summer day, a cool breeze is truly a treat!
Meng Kuo was shocked.
They were especially surprised when they saw that the fan wasn't being turned on by anyone.
"Doesn't this require manpower?"
"No need, this is Tang... this was researched by your fourth brother. There's also a fan that uses water to rotate, the wind will be cooler, carrying water vapor, which is more comfortable. But it's not very convenient to transport, and we don't know how to install it."
If you like them, once your fourth brother is done with this busy period, he can come and deliver a couple to you.
"Old Man Chi said proudly."
He himself isn't very capable, but his child is amazing!
This is what Uncle Chi is most proud of.
The maid was also shocked: "How refreshing! It's truly amazing."
Meng Kuo immediately asked, "Uncle, how many did you bring?"
