Dong Jinhua had almost finished preparing dinner, except for the cabbage which was left to be cooked. Then she went to the main room to tell Zhang Shengjin to get ready, as it would be almost time for dinner.

Zhang Shengjin immediately told his wife that she and Song Cenyue had just become relatives, and from now on Song Cenyue would be their niece.

Dong Jinhua was so surprised that she looked very happy and kept saying how lucky she was to have a niece like Song Cenyue who was so beautiful and capable. She was so proud of herself.

"Miss Cen Yue said that she was so lucky to have such good relatives like us. I said that I feel that we are so lucky to have a niece like her. As you said, we are really proud to have a niece like her who is so beautiful and capable." Zhang Shengjin nodded in agreement.

After they became relatives, Zhang Shengjin addressed Song Cenyue in a more intimate way, calling her "Cenyue girl" affectionately. Song Cenyue did not object to such a name, but only felt it was intimate, probably because she had a good impression of Zhang Shengjin.

"Uncle, aunt, it's completely dark. I should go back. See you tomorrow." Song Cenyue stood up and said goodbye to Zhang Shengjin and his wife.

"Why are you leaving, girl? Didn't you hear me say that dinner was about to start? Eat first before leaving." Dong Jinhua quickly reached out to stop Song Cenyue.

Song Cenyue had very good hearing, so how could she not hear Dong Jinhua say that dinner was ready? She wanted to leave only after she heard that the Zhang family was ready to eat.

At that time, food was in short supply, and even city dwellers would not treat you to a meal casually. You had to have a high-level relationship with that person before they would treat you to a meal.

Food was in such short supply in the Yong'an Production Team, and this was my first time at Zhang's house, empty-handed. It would be inappropriate to stay at Zhang's house for a meal.

"Yes! It's time to eat. Why are you leaving? Sit down and get ready to eat. I asked your aunt to prepare white rice, fried bacon, and killed a chicken to make her specialty crispy chicken to treat you." Zhang Shengjin also hurried to keep the guest.

"When your uncle came back earlier, he said that an honored guest was coming, and asked me to quickly cook the white rice. I had to cook pure white rice without cornmeal or other flour. He also asked me to cut up the old bacon that I had been reluctant to eat and stir-fry it in a large dish. He also asked me to kill a chicken and make our Shanxi specialty, crispy chicken, so that you can taste the delicious Shanxi specialties!

He also asked me to fry two more eggs, and use all the food we have at home to cook dishes, to treat you, my distinguished guest! So you can't leave!" Dong Jinhua pointed at her man and smiled, pressing Song Cenyue's shoulder and pushing her back to the chair.

Song Cenyue was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Zhang Shengjin and his wife would be so willing to spend money to entertain her. It could really be said that they spent a lot of money.

"How can I deserve your hospitality? I didn't bring anything with me. I just came here empty-handed... I'm so sorry!" Song Cenyue said. She was really embarrassed.

If I had known earlier, I would have taken some things out of the space and brought them to Zhang's house. It is definitely not easy to take things out of the space now. I can only take things from the space and give them to the Zhang family later to thank them for their hospitality.

"What's there to be embarrassed about? We are relatives now. There is no need for relatives to give each other gifts. We should treat each other as real relatives. We won't talk about empty words. We will talk about the heart. As long as we are sincere, it's enough." Dong Jinhua said with a smile.

"Mother, what you said is very good. I didn't expect that you could say such nice words sometimes. They can almost be regarded as famous sayings." Zhang Shengjin gave his wife an admiring look.

It was a rare occasion for Dong Jinhua to be praised by her man. She was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling, and the corners of her mouth stretched to the back of her ears.

"Girl Cenyue, it's like your aunt just said, we are relatives now. There is no need for relatives to give gifts to each other. We should treat each other as real relatives. We don't talk about those empty words. We talk about the heart. As long as our hearts are sincere, it's enough." Zhang Shengjin said to Song Cenyue.

Song Cenyue nodded, but thought in her heart that she must send something to the Zhang family, otherwise she would feel bad.

"Girl Cen Yue, sit down and play for a while. I'll bring the food right away and we can eat right away." Dong Jinhua said as she was about to leave the main room and go to the kitchen to get the food.

"Auntie, let me help you carry it." Song Cenyue quickly stood up and wanted to help.

The couple treated me so warmly and spent a lot of money to entertain me. It was hard to refuse such a kind invitation, so I had to eat the meal before leaving.

But you can’t just sit and wait for your elders to serve the food and do nothing. That’s very impolite.

"I don't need your help, I can do it alone." Dong Jinhua turned around and waved to Song Cenyue with a smile, politely declining her kindness.

"Yes, your aunt is enough, you just come and sit down and wait for your meal." Zhang Shengjin also said politely.

Song Cenyue was about to shake her head and force herself to go to the kitchen to help Dong Jinhua serve the food when she heard a knock on the door.

"Mom, we're back! Open the door!" Following the knocking on the door, there was a boy's voice.

Dong Jinhua and Zhang Shengjin both showed a loving and happy smile. Dong Jinhua smiled at Song Cenyue and said, "My children are back! I'll go open the door for them first."

"Uncle, how many children do you and aunt have?" Song Cenyue asked curiously.

"There are three of us, two sons and a daughter. The eldest son is Zhang Jianxing, who is 20 years old this year. He just got married this year. His wife is Zhao Xiaomeng, a distant relative of my wife. She is from the same production team as my wife, the Maji production team.

The second child is a girl named Zhang Xiaoyun, who is 17 years old and has not found a husband yet. The third child is a naughty boy named Zhang Jianbo, who is 13 years old. He doesn’t like to study, but likes to go crazy and play a lot. He resolutely stopped studying after the fourth grade, and no matter how much he was beaten, it was useless. Alas...

There is no other way! I can only let him come back to work in the fields and earn some work points. I will keep an eye on him and feel more at ease..." Zhang Shengjin smiled and introduced his children to Song Cenyue with a happy face.

"Uncle and aunt are so lucky to have both a son and a daughter!" Song Cenyue praised immediately.

"It's not a blessing, but although the children have their own shortcomings, they are all filial. The eldest daughter-in-law is also filial. Your aunt and I are still very satisfied with these children." Zhang Shengjin said.

"They have a pretty good relationship. This afternoon, the eldest asked me for half a day off, saying that his wife wanted to go back to her parents' home and he wanted to go with her. The second and third children wanted to go with them, so they also asked me for leave. The eldest and his wife took the second and third children with them, and they are just back now!"

Song Cenyue praised him a few more times and said a few nice words, which made Zhang Sheng smile. Then he asked curiously, "Where is the Maggie Production Team? Is it far from here?"

"It's forty miles away, not far. It will be there in more than an hour's walk." While answering, Zhang Shengjin secretly sighed. The production team where his wife's parents lived was really lucky this time. Not a single educated youth was assigned there. Why was this so? It was because a relative of the team leader of the Maji production team worked in the Municipal Educated Youth Office, and he was the director of the Municipal Educated Youth Office.

No production team welcomed the educated youth. They were all afraid to send them there because they would take away their food rations.

However, their production team was really lucky this time, as they were assigned a capable person like Cen Yue.

"Mom, where is the distinguished guest? Is it a man or a woman?" Suddenly a curious voice with a hint of excitement came from outside.

Needless to say, Dong Jinhua must have told her children that there were distinguished guests at home.
