"I said that cars can't drive in. My home is in the old city, which has been turned into an intangible cultural heritage protection area. As a characteristic scenic spot of Jiangnan water town, it takes ten minutes to walk from here to my home."

Starting from Shanghai, Gu Yu drove for four and a half hours to Wang Manni's hometown.

Looking at the community formed by the two- and three-story old houses in the Hui style, and the alleys that can only be used by pedestrians, bicycles and electric vehicles, I was in a dilemma.

Thinking back to Wang Manni's advice when I was shopping for New Year gifts yesterday, my answer at the time was that the more gifts you give, the less blame you will get.

As a potential son-in-law, Gu Yu came to Wang Manni's house for the first time. If he didn't bring more things with him, how could he be worthy of Wang Manni's companionship in various postures during this period?

Wang Manni rolled her eyebrows and patted Gu Yu's arm in a reproachful manner. She was about to persuade him again, but when she heard what Gu Yu said, her eyes rolled, her expression became lively, and a sly smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She was determined to make Gu Yu suffer.

"I misjudged the situation," Gu Yu shook his head and glanced at the back seat and trunk of the Panamera.

"Just park the car here and get some gifts first. I'll borrow a trailer from my neighbor when I get back later."

Wang Manni smiled and hugged her lover. Looking at Gu Yu, who was frowning and a little distressed, she felt that he was even more adorable. She tiptoed gently and gave him a passionate French kiss without avoiding others.

She was really happy that Gu Yu could accompany her home and meet her parents, relatives and friends as her boyfriend. She was full of laughter all the way.

"That's fine, take the gifts for uncle and aunt first."

After Gu Yu finished speaking, he let go of Wang Manni's slender waist, opened the trunk, took out a few high-end and exquisite handbags, closed the trunk again, and did not forget to lock the car.

Wang Manni pushed the RIMOWA white suitcase with one hand and held Gu Yu's arm with the other. She didn't care about the looks of the people around her at all. With a smile on her pretty face, she led Gu Yu into the alley.

When the Porsche Panamera drove in, it attracted a lot of attention. When a pair of stylishly dressed handsome men and beautiful women got out of the car, they were even more eye-catching.

Someone recognized Wang Manni and chatted with her for a while before going to inform her parents. Along the way, they had to pass on information to the neighbors they saw.

After all, Wang Manni brought another one with her. Judging from her outfit and the car she drove, Wang Manni has transformed herself from a sparrow to a phoenix in Shanghai this time.

"Manny, you're back,"

"Uncle Zhang, hello Uncle Li, long time no see,"

"I'm back~"

"Manny is back,"

"Hey, I'm back."

"Sister Manni, you're back. Is this your boyfriend? So handsome."

"You're back, Manni. Here, you and your friend can try some freshly baked sesame cakes."

"No, no, thank you, Brother Wang. Come next time. My parents are waiting for us to have dinner."

Along the way, Wang Manni couldn't stop greeting people, young and old, men and women. The population in the small town was small, and the people were closely connected. Most of them knew each other.

"It's different from the big cities, right? Are you scared?"

After saying goodbye to the enthusiastic neighbor, Wang Manni and Gu Yu turned right and entered a narrower alley. There was no one around for the time being. Wang Manni whispered to Gu Yu beside her,

"Very good, it seems you are popular," Gu Yu replied with a smile. This scene could not scare him.

"My parents are popular, and I benefited from their influence. Although they appear friendly and enthusiastic, there have been many people talking about me behind my back in the past few years.

How are you doing in Shanghai now that you are almost 30? Why haven’t you had a relationship yet? How is your work? How is your income? Have you bought a house or a car?

I was not doing well before, so I was afraid to come back," Wang Manni sighed softly. She had a clear understanding of the interpersonal relationships in the small town.

"It's okay. You're a billionaire now. You live in a villa in Shanghai and drive a luxury car. You also have your own business and a coffee shop. You have to show off and make your parents proud," Gu Yu consoled.

"It's all because of meeting you," Wang Manni looked at Gu Yu with eyes full of love and admiration, almost tearing,

The way to express love is to give her your sweet lips again, but now the time and place are not suitable, otherwise there will be a fierce fight between men and women.

"Nini, Nini!"

Gu Yu and Wang Manni walked for a while. On the way, Wang Manni kept introducing Gu Yu to the surroundings of her hometown and the things in her memory.

When we were almost at Wang Manni's house, we heard someone calling Wang Manni from a distance.

Looking up, a group of people were standing at the door of Wang Manni's house, looking forward to it. The middle-aged couple in the middle were Wang Manni's parents.

Father Wang was still wearing an apron, and it looked like he had just received the news that Gu Yu and Wang Manni had arrived.

"Dad! Mom!"

Wang Manni opened her eyes wide, her emotions were high, her smile deepened, she pulled Gu Yu and walked quickly forward, approached her parents, happily let go of the suitcase and Gu Yu, and hugged her parents like a child,

"Why didn't you tell us in advance when you arrived so that we could pick you up?"

After leaving her daughter's arms, the Queen Mother said with a hint of complaint, her eyes already looking at Gu Yu behind Wang Manni,

He is handsome, of suitable height, with a friendly smile and a good personality, but he seems to be a few years younger than Manni.

"I thought you were busy preparing lunch, and it's such a short distance, are you afraid I don't know you?

This is my boyfriend, Gu Yu, Gu Yu, my parents,"

Wang Manni smiled and pulled Gu Yu to her side, took Gu Yu's hand generously, and introduced him to her parents and neighbors.

"Hello, uncle and aunt, this is a little gift. Manni told me all the way that uncle's cooking is delicious. She thinks about it every day in Shanghai. It seems that I will have a good time today."

Gu Yu is steady and mature, with a smile on his face.

"Okay! Come on in! There's only one dish left to cook. Eat more for lunch!"

Wang's father was very happy to hear this. Compared to Wang's mother who was still a little scrutinizing, Wang's father looked at Gu Yu with full satisfaction and warmly invited Gu Yu in.

"Old Wang, your mouth will split if you laugh any more,"

"How can I not be happy? Manni brought back such an excellent boyfriend, Lao Wang has been looking forward to it for a long time,"

"As expected of them coming from a big city, look at them, they are so stylish, the man is talented and the woman is beautiful, they are a perfect match."

"When is the wedding, Manni? You must send us invitations."

After Gu Yu greeted Wang's father and mother, the neighbors waiting nearby could no longer suppress their gossiping hearts and chattered and joked.

"Okay, okay, Manni and her boyfriend just arrived. You guys don't want to eat. They drove all morning and must be tired.

Let them go first, let them wash their hands and eat, they are here and can't run away, there is plenty of time to chat with you, "

The Queen Mother gave way. It was obvious that she was the head of the Wang family. She dispersed the crowd and led Gu Yu and Wang Manni into the house.

Wang Manni's home is home to four or five families. It is a bit like a siheyuan, but also a bit different. The architectural style is a two-story Anhui-style small building.

When it's time to eat, it's so lively. The aroma of food from each family wafts through the yard. You can also see families sharing food and inviting each other to eat together.
