Passersby looked at Mi Xiaonan who was crying sadly, and then looked at Liu Yibang with a somewhat unfriendly look.

Liu Yibang rushed forward to comfort her. He found that Mi Xiaonan not only had a low laugh point, but also a low tear point. He took out a handkerchief, wiped Mi Xiaonan's tears, and said softly, "Don't cry, everyone is staring at us! We're going back to Sifang Island now, but your eyes are red and swollen now. If my mother saw it, she would think I was bullying you!"

Mi Xiaonan gradually stopped crying and choked up as she lay in Liu Yibang's arms, "Yibang, when I was chatting with Ma Xiaoling just now, I suddenly realized that apart from life and death, nothing else in the world seems to be that important!"

Liu Yibang gently patted Mi Xiaonan on the back and responded softly, "So we must do meaningful things in our limited lives! Live in harmony with family members, understand each other between lovers, love and respect each other among children, and treat work seriously."

"We have been working hard to do so, so now I feel that my life is very fulfilling and I don't have any regrets. When we are old and look back on our lives, they may seem dull, but dullness is the truest and sweetest thing."

Listening to Liu Yibang's words, Mi Xiaonan slowly calmed down and stopped crying: "Yibang, I am really honored to be your classmate and your lover!"

Liu Yibang smiled and shook her hand in return: "The same words go to you. I am honored to be your classmate and your lover."

The two drove to the pier and parked their car directly in the parking lot. Although it was expensive to park the car here, at least they didn't have to worry about the car being stolen or having its windows smashed.

Mi Xiaonan followed Liu Yibang onto the bus boat. She felt her feet were shaking and a little uncomfortable, so she quickly held onto Liu Yibang's arm.

Liu Yibang comforted him softly: "Don't be nervous, are you seasick?"

Mi Xiaonan felt it carefully and replied, "I'm not seasick, but my legs feel a little weak!"

"Sit still!" Liu Yibang consoled her while pulling out an orange from his pocket and holding it to her nose. "If you feel dizzy, smelling the orange will help."

After about ten minutes, Mi Xiaonan gradually adjusted to the shaking of the boat and finally had the energy to ask, "When we got on board just now, why were we the only ones being checked so strictly? We had to fill out all sorts of information and even get you to give a guarantee."

Liu Yibang held Mi Xiaonan's hand and explained, "Because the place we are going to is quite special. There are troops stationed on Sifang Island, as well as a high-level military research institute and a medical research institute."

"For permanent residents of Sifang Island, the procedures for applying for a long-term pass are simpler. If I were to come alone, it wouldn't be so troublesome. But since this is your first time there, and you're coming from another city, you'll need to submit a lot of documents, and you'll need my guarantee to confirm that there are no problems with you."

Hearing this, Mi Xiaonan suddenly realized: "So that's how it is! Wouldn't this bring a lot of trouble to your life?"

Liu Yibang replied: "My father is a soldier and is stationed on Sifang Island. My grandfather also retired there. My mother used to work at the university and live in the staff housing because of her job and our studies."

"Now my mother has shifted her work focus and research projects to the medical research institute on Sifang Island. On the one hand, it is to spend more time with her family, and on the other hand, it is because Sifang Island has beautiful scenery and fresh air. It is indeed a good place for retirement."

After hearing Liu Yibang's explanation, Mi Xiaonan instantly realized that his family was not simple. "Yibang, I used to think your family was well-off, but I didn't expect your family to be so powerful! Can people like us from ordinary families be worthy of you? What if your family and your parents don't like me?"

Liu Yibang was at a loss for words when he heard this. "What are you thinking? Your family is perfectly fine. You're a family of educators and scholars. The most important thing is that you're a very good person. You're the one I've chosen."

"My parents' requirements for their daughter-in-law and her family are actually very simple: a family with good morals, no criminal record, and a positive and motivated character. You and your family have long exceeded these standards."

Mi Xiaonan blinked and asked uncertainly, "You're not lying to me, are you? I've been watching TV with my grandparents lately, and I heard that the standards for choosing a daughter-in-law are so high! Some girls from ordinary families, no matter how good they are, are worthless in their eyes. They might even beat and scold them. It's scary!"

Liu Yibang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and rubbed Mi Xiaonan's head. "That's all made up by the director. While being well-matched does make sense, having positive values ​​and the same ideals is even more precious. I'm telling you this, but you may not believe it now, so let me give you some examples!"

"My eldest sister-in-law is a military doctor. Her family is from an ordinary rural area, and they still have a certain preference for boys over girls. The 20,000 yuan betrothal gift almost used up most of my eldest brother's savings from his military service. However, the other family is relatively honest and has not violated any laws or regulations."

"My second sister-in-law is the granddaughter of Doctor Wang from the island's military hospital. She has inherited the traditional Chinese medicine skills from her family and is now the attending physician at the military hospital. Look, your parents and grandparents are all teachers, and you are a teacher too. What's wrong with that? What's more, how could a girl like me, Liu Yibang, not have good qualities? Mi Xiaonan, you are a glorious people's teacher with many shining points. You should be more confident."

Mi Xiaonan's eyes brightened as Liu Yibang spoke: "Do I... really have so many shining points?"

Liu Yibang chuckled: "Of course!"

She felt that she looked very ordinary, and that Yang Wenwen and Cao Yuanyuan, whom she had met before, were both beautiful women.

Compared with them, Mi Xiaonan felt that her appearance was at best pretty, and not particularly beautiful at all.

Once people fall in love, they will unconsciously compare and worry about gains and losses.

Mi Xiaonan is like this. She is always worried that the relationship between her and Liu Yibang is nothing more than a young man and woman who met by chance in a remote and unfamiliar place and rely on each other for a while.

But Liu Yibang's words today made Mi Xiaonan believe that there really are men who like a woman's inner qualities, simply because many of her thoughts and opinions coincide with Liu Yibang's.

Seeing Mi Xiaonan gradually relax, Liu Yibang smiled and said, "That's right! In my impression, Mi Xiaonan has always been optimistic and confident."

The Liu family at this time.

Professor Xie did not go to the laboratory all morning. He got up early in the morning and went to the morning market to buy fresh vegetables, seafood, chicken, fish, meat and eggs.

Of course, she also bought a lot of snacks.

Seeing her mother-in-law so busy, Wang Miaoxiang and Tang Ying asked with a smile: "Meilan, was she also this busy when we came to visit her?"

Liu Meilan nodded: "Of course! We started preparing early because our daughter-in-law is a distinguished guest and it's her first visit, so of course we have to take it seriously!"

Tang Ying chuckled: "Does that mean that mother-in-law is particularly satisfied with us?"

Liu Meilan shook her head. "The most important thing is that my brother is happy with you. In my mother's mind, as long as the child is a good person, you and my brother are in love, and the other party's family has no criminal record, she doesn't care about anything else."
