"Go take a look, your Uncle Zhuo and the others might be at home." Bai Yuhua said with a smile.

Jiang Xue nodded, then grabbed her belongings and headed out. She was quite lucky, as she ran into Zhuoyue’s father right at the corner.

"Uncle Zhuo, these are the things Zhuoyue asked me to bring you." As she spoke, Jiang Xue handed the items to Zhuoyue’s father, then turned to head back home.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhuo directly called out to her, saying, "Wait a moment, daughter-in-law of Qian Cheng, I have something to ask you."

Jiang Xue stopped, turned to look at Mr. Zhuo, and said with a smile, "Uncle Zhuo, you want to ask me how Zhuoyue is doing at work over there, right?"

"Don’t worry, Uncle Zhuo, Zhuoyue is doing very well over there, working seriously. He’ll come back to see you all during his break."

Upon hearing Jiang Xue’s words, Mr. Zhuo finally felt relieved. Although Zhuoyue had called home before, they were still somewhat worried, fearing Zhuoyue wasn’t telling the truth.

Now, with Jiang Xue’s reassurance, he was completely at ease. So after finishing his conversation with Jiang Xue, he added, "Thank you, daughter-in-law of Qian Cheng. Someday, my wife and I will invite you over for dinner."

"Uncle Zhuo, you’re too kind." Jiang Xue waved her hand with a smile, then went back home. When she returned home, her mother-in-law Bai Yuhua was already busy in the kitchen.

Jiang Xue, seeing this, didn’t enter the living room; she directly turned to the kitchen to help. Because they were well-prepared, there were plenty of ingredients in the kitchen with chicken, duck, fish, meat, and even homegrown vegetables.

Nowadays, the living conditions at home were much better than before, so Jiang Xue had asked the two elders to eat meat at least once a week.

The abundance of dishes bought today was because of Jiang Xue’s visit, as she purposely bought a bit extra. Otherwise, they usually just bought one type of dish.

With Jiang Xue joining in, the cooking speed increased significantly. Bai Yuhua voluntarily stepped aside, letting Jiang Xue take the lead as the main chef.

By twelve noon, the meal was ready; the family gathered around to eat. Liu Yongfa had long known how delicious Jiang Xue’s cooking was, and as soon as he took a bite, he realized the food was cooked by her.

After the meal, Liu Yongfa chatted with the Mu Siwu family for a while before leaving by car. Before departing, he specifically told Jiang Xue, "Sister-in-law, whenever you want to go back, let me know and I’ll pick you up."

Jiang Xue thanked him with a smile but didn’t plan to have him pick her up when she went back. She intended to take the bus home since it wasn’t far and she didn’t have much luggage.

Shortly after Liu Yongfa left, Father Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were thinking of returning to their own home. Even though Bai Yuhua and Mu Siwu treated them very well, it was not their own house after all. Moreover, this time, they came back to stay at their home for a while.

It happened that Jiang Xue was heading to Beijing, so they could enjoy a relaxed period in the countryside.

Jiang Xue knew her parents were planning to return to their own home, but Bai Yuhua and Mu Siwu didn’t know. As soon as they heard the couple wanted to go, they became anxious and said, "In-laws, mother-in-law, why leave when there’s enough room here? Besides, your home hasn’t been lived in for so long that it’ll take half a day just to clean it."

Jiang Xue understood her mother-in-law’s good intentions and her parents’ stubbornness, so she said from the side, "Mom and Dad, if my parents want to go back, let them go. Please help me take care of Little Reunion for a while; I’ll escort them home and help tidy up."
