On the day of the blind date, the heir of a wealthy family pulled me to get the certificate.

Zeng Xiaoya smiled and said, "Grandma Zhan, you're exaggerating. It's just a small matter. It's normal for people to ask their neighbors for advice when they buy and renovate their houses. Everyone is happy to share their experiences."

"Zhan Yue, you haven't joined the Wansheng Garden owners' group yet, have you? I'll add you in later. Once you're in the group, if you have any questions, just ask in the group, and everyone will be happy to teach you."

Zhan Yue said, "Then add me in later, I haven't joined the owners' group yet."

The maid served fruit and fragrant tea.

After chatting for a while, it was time for lunch.

Zeng Xiaoya was a little embarrassed.

She originally came to chat with Grandma Zhan today, but she was late and made Grandma Zhan wait for so long. It was lunchtime when she arrived.

Sensing that everyone treated her like family, Zeng Xiaoya relaxed and sat down with everyone.

The table was laden with dishes, a very lavish spread. She glanced at them and saw that several of them were her favorites. The other dishes, while not her absolute favorites, were still to her liking.

The dishes are plentiful, but they are all home-style dishes, not delicacies. They are similar to what they usually eat, just with more variety.

"Xiaoya, have a bowl of soup first."

The old lady gestured for Zhan Yue to personally serve Zeng Xiaoya the soup.

"Zhan Yue originally wanted to cook a good meal for you himself to thank you for your help during this time, but I ended up sending him to pick you up instead."

The old lady used serving chopsticks to put some food on Zeng Xiaoya's plate, and she didn't forget her two granddaughters-in-law, Haitong and Ning Yunchu.

They all served food to the elderly women, and Haitong also served food to the old lady.

They knew the old lady was afraid they would be jealous, thinking she was fickle and tired of the old.

Actually, they weren't jealous at all. They weren't petty or calculative people. Zeng Xiaoya was a newcomer, so it was only right that her grandmother took extra care of her.

They also took good care of Zeng Xiaoya.

After all, it was their first time visiting.

"Stay here for dinner this afternoon before going back."

The old lady said, "Zhan Yue is free this afternoon. Let him cook for you and show off his skills. He hasn't cooked in a long time. Perfect timing, I also want to try his cooking and see if he has improved."

Zeng Xiaoya said a little shyly, "Grandma Zhan, I would be very embarrassed if that were the case."

The third wife said, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. You finally got a day off and came to chat with us old ladies. We are very grateful and don't know how to thank you enough."

"Let Zhan Yue cook dinner himself this afternoon. After you've had dinner, you can go back, and Zhan Yue will take you there."

Haitong also laughed and said, "Xiaoya, just agree. Grandma has been asking for you to stay for dinner. If you don't stay, she'll think we haven't been hospitable enough."

"Then I'll shamelessly stay for dinner before going back."

The old lady gave Zhan Yue a look that said, "Make a good impression this afternoon."

She swallowed her pride and helped him secure the opportunity.

Zhan Yue gave his grandmother a reassuring look.

His cooking skills are far superior to those of his sixth brother, and he's qualified to be a head chef in a restaurant.

After the meal, the old lady sat for a while and then asked Zeng Xiaoya to accompany her for a walk to help her digest.

Oh, and they even invited Zhan Yue.

This is Zhan Yue's house, so the host should show his guests around his big villa.

After the three of them left the main house, Haitong asked the third wife, "Third Aunt, what do you think? Xiaoya is pretty good, isn't she?"

Several children were already playing nearby.

It won't disturb the adults' conversation.

Third Madam said with satisfaction, "That's great. I have nothing to complain about. As long as he can get married, I'll be content. Besides, Dr. Zeng is not bad either. I'm already grateful that he didn't bring a man back. How could I possibly complain?"

Ning Yunchu chuckled, "Third Aunt, what are you saying? It's not like our Eighth Brother can't find a wife. If he's willing, there are plenty of girls who want to marry him."

“How could he possibly bring a man home? If he dared to bring a man home, his brothers would be the first to give him a good beating.”

Zhan Yichen said, "I'm not surprised at all that my third aunt said that. In the eyes of the elders, we seem to be very bad, as if no one wants us."

This also shows that his elders are very open-minded.

In my third aunt's words, as long as they bring women home, not men, we'll be grateful and won't ask for too much.

Moreover, their judgment is usually quite good.

With their grandmother overseeing things, there's even less to worry about with these kids.

The seventh and eighth children were both chosen by themselves, and the elders were very satisfied with them.

"Has Zhan Wei's marriage been settled?"

Even though he knew that his elders were going to Yangcheng for Lao Qi's important life event, Zhan Yichen still asked a question.

Tang Junye replied, "They've held an engagement banquet, and the two of them have also gotten their marriage certificate. The wedding will be held in about ten days. You should all arrange your time in advance and fly over to help out."

"Later, have Li Min and his wife send an invitation to the Zeng family as well, inviting them to attend Lao Qi's wedding in Yangcheng."

Hai Tong said, "Xiao Ya's whole family are doctors, so they probably won't be able to find the time to attend the wedding. As for Xiao Ya, she could probably squeeze in two days if she took some time off."

The third wife said, "Whether they can make time or not is their business. Sending invitations is our way of showing our attitude. We'll be in-laws from now on, so we'll definitely invite them to our wedding."

Hai Tong laughed and said, "Eighth Brother hasn't even confessed yet, but Third Aunt already treats the Zeng family as in-laws. Xiao Ya's parents and older brother don't work in Dongguan City, so they don't even know that Eighth Brother exists."

The third wife said confidently, "I believe in my son. He likes Xiaoya, so Xiaoya is my daughter-in-law, and the Zeng family is my in-laws, my prospective in-laws."

The people inside were chatting. Zeng Xiaoya, who was accompanying the old lady for a walk, helped the old lady walk very slowly, so that she could take in the surrounding environment.

Since arriving, she hasn't had a chance to properly tour Zhan Yue's large villa.

"Xiaoya, I'm so happy today. I'm so glad you're all here with me. I really hope you can come and keep this old woman company more often in the future."

Zeng Xiaoya said, "Grandma Zhan has a large family. Your sons and grandsons are very filial, and your daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law get along with you like mother and daughters and grandmother and grandchildren. They will definitely spend time with you whenever they have time."

"Next time I take a vacation, I'll come and chat with Grandma Zhan if I have time. By the way, we've already agreed that next time I take a vacation, we'll go on an autumn outing. I haven't been out and about in a long time, so I need to relax."

She's busy with work every day, and during her holidays she helps her second uncle and aunt. She really hasn't been able to go out for a long time.

There are quite a few scenic spots in Dongguan, many of which she, a native of Dongguan, has never visited.
