"Old man, do you think it's okay to leave it like this?" Grandma Chen asked, pointing at the photo frame she had just placed on the TV cabinet.

Five minutes ago, Grandma Chen looked at the ornaments on the TV cabinet and felt that the position was not good, so she asked Aunt Wang to put them away and put a photo of their whole family there instead.

Grandpa Chen, who had been annoyed all morning, forced a smile and said, "No problem, it's a good place to put it."

His wife was too nervous today. After getting up, she kept finding faults and felt that everything was not right.

Hey, it seems like my daughter-in-law wasn’t that nervous when she came home for the first time.

When Grandma Chen heard what her husband said, she looked at the TV cabinet again.

It seems really good, so should we just leave it like this?

Grandma Chen examined it again and made sure that there was no problem before she sat back on the sofa and chatted with Master Chen.

Grandpa Chen saw that his wife was always glancing out the door, so he comforted her, "Don't worry, it should be here soon."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Chen said “hmm”.

She looked at the clock. It was past eleven o'clock.

The guesthouse was not far from their home, so they should have arrived there.

"I'll go see if the braised pork is ready." Grandma Chen said, and stood up and walked hurriedly to the kitchen.

Grandpa Chen: ...

I hope his wife can return to normal after meeting her future in-laws today.

......

A few minutes later, Grandpa Chen heard the sound of a car outside. Someone was coming!

He stood up from the sofa abruptly and shouted to Grandma Chen in the kitchen, "Yunfu, Xiaocheng and the others are here."

When Grandma Chen heard this, she wiped her hands quickly, came out of the kitchen, looked at Grandpa Chen, and asked, "Old man, is my clothes okay? Is there anything dirty? I don't know if I got it rubbed in the kitchen just now."

Grandpa Chen looked at it carefully and then shook his head.

"It's okay, I'm fine. I look very generous and decent. I will definitely not embarrass your grandson."

When Granny Chen heard her husband's answer, she was very satisfied. "Come on, go on, go out and answer him, or it would be rude."

Grandpa Chen followed Grandma Chen closely as they walked out.

When Su Ran and He Cheng arrived, Grandma Jiang and Grandpa Jiang had just gotten out of the car. He Cheng and Su Ran hurriedly got out of the car and helped the elders take the gifts they brought from the trunk.

After picking up the gifts, He Cheng led the Jiang family to their grandmother's house. After walking a few steps, they saw two people coming out of the gate.

The old lady at the head was dressed exquisitely and looked elegant and noble. The old man behind her was wearing an ordinary Zhongshan suit, but he had a majestic aura and was obviously in a high position for a long time. At this moment, the two of them were welcoming them with smiles on their faces.

"Oh, a distinguished guest is here! Come in, come in! This must be Sister Zhang. I always hear Xiaocheng and Ranran mention you. Seeing is believing." Grandma Chen greeted warmly, holding Grandma Jiang's hands tightly with both hands, appearing particularly cordial.

Grandma Jiang also smiled and thanked them repeatedly, "Oh, you are so polite. I really troubled you today."

Although Ranran had told the Jiang family before that He Cheng's family was very kind, and the Jiang family had previously come into contact with He Cheng's uncle's family, Grandma Jiang had guessed that He Cheng's grandparents should be very kind, but she was still a little surprised when she saw them today.

He Cheng's grandfather came from the battlefield and had made many contributions. It is no exaggeration to say that he is second to none in China. I didn't expect that they would be so approachable.

"No way, you are honored guests, and we are future in-laws, which means we are one family. It would be our fault if we did not entertain you when you come to Beijing!" Grandma Chen replied with a smile.

Grandpa Jiang smiled and cupped his hands, half-jokingly saying, "I've heard He Cheng say that his grandparents are very hospitable to others, and today I see that it's true!"

Grandpa Chen laughed and said, "You are so polite! Come on, come inside and sit down."

After everyone was invited into the house, Grandma He Cheng personally poured tea for everyone, took out some dried fruits and snacks to entertain the guests, and placed them one by one on the coffee table.

Jiang Hongmei held the teacup and looked around silently. It was simple, clean and warm, full of the flavor of home.

From the outside, it can be seen that this villa is not much bigger than the one they lived in Hai City. She thought there would be something special inside, but she didn't expect that the inside was as "ordinary" as the outside, so ordinary that it didn't suit their status at all.

That’s right, only those who do not pursue material things can educate the next generation like Mayor Chen and He Cheng.

She felt more and more fond of this family.

Grandma Chen: "Ranran looks really good in what she wears today~ Big sister, let me tell you, when I first met Ranran, I guessed that her family must be good-looking. When I saw her today, it turned out to be true! You, my niece, and Ranran are all good-looking~"

Grandma Jiang smiled brightly after being praised. "That's not right, big sister, you are also very pretty and have an extraordinary temperament. If I didn't know you were older than me, I would have called you sister."

Su Ran was amazed as she listened to this. Her grandma was truly amazing. Which woman could withstand such praise?

Sure enough, when she turned around, she saw Grandma Chen smiling like a flower.

Su Ran gave her grandma a thumbs up in her heart.

Grandma Chen was praised like this, and she waved her hands cheerfully, smiling so much that her eyes had some smile lines, "Oh, it's not that exaggerated, I'm just thinking about meeting my future in-laws, and as an elder I can't be too casual, I have to dress up properly!"

As soon as Grandma Chen mentioned her in-laws, the topic suddenly shifted to today's protagonist, Su Ran He Cheng.

Although the two of them were dating, they were not really engaged, so they were not relatives. It was nothing to say what they said just now outside the door, but now that they were sitting here in the house, bringing up this topic again, it seemed that they had to continue.

Grandma Chen said, "Xiaocheng's parents went abroad when he was young, and he grew up with us. When we first heard that he was going to the countryside, we were worried for a long time. But we didn't expect that Xiaocheng would be assigned to your team by such a coincidence. It's really fate!"

She paused, looked at Grandma Jiang with gratitude, and continued, "Over the years, thanks to your care, my elder sister, our town has been able to run so smoothly. Every time he talks about the brigade, he always mentions Ranran and you. Just by listening to him talk about it, we know that your family is really warm-hearted and kind."

Grandma Jiang listened to what Grandma Chen said, and quickly waved her hands, smiling and said, "Oh, big sister, you are too polite! Xiaocheng is a capable and polite child, and everyone in the village likes him. As for taking care of us, he has helped us a lot. Our team members now live in a small Western-style building and have no worries about food and drink. It's all because of Xiaocheng. We can't thank him enough."

After hearing this, Grandma Chen's face was filled with smiles and there was a hint of pride in her eyes.

"That's what he deserves. How can he receive your kindness for nothing? When it comes to ability, Xiaocheng and Ranran are far behind. Big sister, how did your family educate their children? How could you raise a child as capable as Ranran? That's great. You are so blessed!"

Grandma Jiang smiled shyly, "We are not well educated and can't teach much. The main thing is that the child strives to do well. Ranran has been very sensible and loves to study since she was young. We basically never worried about her. She has come this far by herself step by step."

Ever since Su Ran became famous, many people have asked them how they taught Su Ran. She has always said this, and it is indeed the truth. They have limited education, and Ran Ran’s ability is all due to herself. They don’t want to take credit for it.

After hearing this, Grandma Chen couldn't help but nodded with emotion, her eyes full of admiration.

"Yes, Ranran is really an amazing child! The first time I met her, I felt that she was a child with her own opinions. It's a blessing for Xiaocheng to have a girlfriend like her." When she said this, Grandma Chen's eyes were full of relief, and she was obviously very satisfied with Su Ran.

He Cheng, who was standing next to him, listened to the elders' praise for Su Ran, and his face was full of pride and smiles. He tilted his head to look at Su Ran, who had been sitting on the sofa without making any movement. She was actually playing with the edge of her pants out of boredom.

This little girl is really heartless. She is so calm, as if the two elders are not talking about her.

The smile on He Cheng's lips widened, and he raised his hand to hold the little hand that was making trouble nearby.
