Liu Yibang nodded and said, "You are a teacher. When we have children, you can take them back to your parents' home during the winter and summer vacations, and then live on the island."

"Not only does this relax the body and mind, providing a great rest, it also allows the child to spend more time with his older siblings and build relationships! My eldest brother and his wife usually take care of the child, so during the winter and summer holidays, my mom sends someone to bring Xiaobao over!"

When Mi Xiaonan heard Liu Yibang talking about the child, she was sure that he was truly in love with her and that his intention was to get married.

This is the greatest respect for women.

Mi Xiaonan was very touched: "Okay! I am the only daughter of my parents. Although I was spoiled a lot when I was young, I was inevitably lonely. I am a teacher and you are a civil servant. We have to abide by the family planning policy, so I guess we can only have one child. The feelings in childhood are the purest. After all, we will grow old one day, and then these brothers and sisters can support each other in life!"

Walking to the door and stopping, Mi Xiaonan started to get nervous again.

Liu Yibang took her hand and walked inside: "Don't be nervous."

There was a glass greenhouse in the yard, with a large wooden bed inside, on which Fu Hai and Fu Ying were playing.

When Professor Xie saw Liu Yibang bringing Mi Xiaonan over, he greeted them warmly, "Xiaomi, are you hungry?"

Mi Xiaonan quickly responded: "Hello Aunt Xie, I'm fine, thank you."

Professor Xie introduced them with a smile: "Come on, Xiaomi, this is my daughter Liu Meilan, my eldest daughter-in-law Tang Ying, my second daughter-in-law Wang Miaoxiang, my grandfather, and Miaoxiang's grandfather, Doctor Wang. Yibang's father will be back tonight, and I'll introduce you to him then."

Mi Xiaonan quickly greeted them: "Sister Meilan, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, Grandpa Liu, and Grandpa Wang, hello."

Old Master Liu said with a smile, "Okay, good girl. The food is ready. Yibang, take your partner to wash their hands and come over to eat."

"Okay!" Liu Yibang responded and took Mi Xiaonan to wash hands.

Professor Xie trusted his intuition. The first time he saw Mi Xiaonan, he liked her down-to-earth spirit.

When the passionate Cao Yuanyuan came with Liu Yibang, she also liked him. Just because he was the person her son liked, she liked him too.

After all, this is the person who will spend his life with his son Liu Yibang.

As a mother, her suggestions can be used as a reference, but ultimately it depends on her son's own persistence and choice.

When Tang Ying and Wang Miaoxiang saw Mi Xiaonan, they looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she was not the kind of person who liked to stir up trouble.

They are all working women, busy with their workdays, and their time after get off work is precious. Even if they don't have to do housework, spending time with their children and family is more meaningful than complaining and gossiping all day long.

Sisters-in-law don't need to be too close to each other. As long as they can respect, understand and help each other, that's enough.

At the dinner table, Professor Xie used his serving chopsticks to pick up a lot of food for Mi Xiaonan: "Xiaomi, you're welcome."

Sister-in-law Tang Ying smiled and said, "Xiaomi, just treat it like you're at home. The more polite you are, the more uncomfortable you'll feel. Just eat whatever you like."

"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Mi Xiaonan thanked her. Sister-in-law was tall and thin, a doctor and a soldier, with a firm gaze, and she looked reliable at first glance.

Wang Miaoxiang smiled and said, "Xiaomi, after dinner, let Yibang take you around the island. Although our island is small, it is quite interesting."

Mi Xiaonan smiled and said, "Yibang often praises Sifang Island. He has deep feelings for the place where he grew up. He loves it and misses it."

Liu Meilan ate while looking after the children and didn't talk much with Mi Xiaonan, but the overall atmosphere was polite and warm.

After dinner, Mi Xiaonan took the initiative to help wash the dishes. While her second sister-in-law was taking care of the children, her eldest sister-in-law Tang Ying was also washing the dishes. She said, "Thank you, aunt, sister-in-law, and sisters for your hard work in hosting us and making so many delicious dishes."

"You're welcome, everyone is welcome!" Liu Meilan said with a smile, "Sister Xiaomi, when will you return to school after the New Year?"

Mi Xiaonan replied, "Yibang will probably have to rush back before the eighth day of the first lunar month. My school starts late, on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month. I'll take the train there after the Lantern Festival and will be able to catch up."

Hearing this, Liu Meilan smiled and took out a bag from the house: "Dad will be back tonight, let's have a reunion dinner in advance. Tomorrow, Fu Chen and I will take the children back to Beijing. This is a gift for you, Sister Xiaomi, please accept it."

Mi Xiaonan was stunned and looked at Liu Yibang. She had only prepared one gift and didn't bring one for everyone in the family, so she said, "No need for a meeting gift, Meilan, you're too polite."

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "In the past, all the sisters-in-law came to our house and you are no exception. Don't be polite."

Liu Yibang smiled and said, "Xiaomi, please accept it. My mother will also give you a gift later."

Mi Xiaonan took it and said, "Thank you, Meilan."

Professor Xie handed over a box and said with a smile, "This is a set of gold jewelry I bought from Dafu Jewelry. It's a gift for you."

Mi Xiaonan was flattered: "Thank you, Auntie."

Tang Ying handed over a velvet box. "My sister-in-law doesn't earn much, so she can't afford anything expensive. This is a pair of white jade bracelets made from raw jade I bought locally. Please accept them."

Mi Xiaonan was a little surprised: "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Wang Miaoxiang handed over several sealed glass bottles. "People from our area might adapt to the western region, but their bodies might still be affected by the climate. These are the health pills I made myself. They'll replenish your body. Take one pill every three days, and a full course of treatment will last a month. I have three courses here, and I guarantee they'll restore your health."

Mi Xiaonan's eyes widened: "Thank you, second sister-in-law!"

Mr. Liu smiled and handed over a box: "This is a jade bracelet, keep it."

Mi Xiaonan was flattered: "Thank you, Grandpa. I received so many gifts during my visit!"

Mr. Liu smiled and said, "Just keep it. You guys chat, I'm going out for a walk, I need a nap soon. Yibang, take your partner out for a walk, buy whatever you want to eat."

Liu Yibang responded: "Well, I'll take her out in a while."

Liu Yibang took Mi Xiaonan to the guest room, and Mi Xiaonan poured all the gifts she received today on the bed.

After opening it, she found that Liu Meilan had given her a set of pearl jewelry, including a necklace, earrings, earrings, bracelet, brooch, ring, and hairband; her future mother-in-law had given her a set of gold jewelry, including a pair of gold bracelets, gold earrings, necklace, ring, and brooch.

Mi Xiaonan hugged Liu Yibang's head excitedly and kissed him non-stop, "I'm rich, I'm rich. If I had known there would be so many jewellery as a meeting gift, you wouldn't have bought it for me last night. I spent so much money."

Liu Yibang was distracted by Mi Xiaonan's sudden enthusiasm, "It's daytime now, we can't..."

Mi Xiaonan chuckled, "What are you thinking about? I'm just too happy. Auntie, sisters-in-law, and grandpa gave me such nice gifts, which proves that they like me and recognize me."
