After buying a lot of clothes and returning to the guesthouse, they changed into cashmere coats. The whole family are naturally good-looking, and the clothes elevated their overall style.

It was already dinnertime, so the family went to a state-run restaurant for dinner.

Because he was so hungry, Yuan Wenjie ordered a bowl of noodles with soybean paste for everyone, and then ordered a roast duck.

Yuan Wenjie explained, "Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste) and Peking duck are both local specialties."

"The noodles with soybean paste are chewy and smooth, and the rich soybean paste and vegetables make them taste amazing."

"The roast duck is golden in color, with crispy skin and tender meat. Dip it in sweet bean sauce, roll it up in a thin pancake, and take a bite and your mouth will be filled with fragrance."

Everyone ate it as he suggested, and it indeed tasted unique and delicious.

Yuan Wenjie said, "There are many delicious things here. Over the next few days, I will take you to try them one by one."

Eat and drink enough.

Su Jinru said, "We've been here for half a day now, shouldn't we go visit Mom and Dad?"

"The reason I borrowed the car at this time is because if we take the bus, it will take more than an hour to get there and back, not to mention how we will deliver the New Year's goods we have prepared."

"The New Year's goods are naturally stored in Su Jinru's space, and there are quite a lot of them. If they don't drive there but take the bus, I'm afraid Yuan Wenjie's adoptive parents wouldn't believe that they could carry so many things on the bus."

Of course, they couldn't take Anxin and Anran with them, because they knew how much stuff they brought from Qiongzhou Island, and these New Year's goods that appeared out of nowhere couldn't be kept from the two children.

So they left An Xin and An Ran at the guesthouse, while Yuan Wenjie and Su Jinru drove to Yuan Wenjie's adoptive parents' house.

When they arrived at a secluded spot, Yuan Wenjie stopped the car, and Su Jinru took out the New Year's goods they had prepared from her spatial storage.

A bag of kelp (woven bag), a bag of laver, a bag of dried yellow croaker, a bag of dried ribbonfish, a bag of cured fish, twenty live crabs, five catties of abalone, five catties of lobster, two large soft-shelled turtles, and a fresh large crucian carp.

The fruit consisted of a bamboo basket each of strawberries, lychees, grapes, and cherries, as well as a large watermelon and five large pineapples.

If Yuan Wenjie hadn't stopped her in time, Su Jinru would have taken even more.

"Enough, Aru. Don't you think about it? Unless we charter a plane, how do we explain bringing all this stuff from thousands of miles away from south to north?"

Su Jinru smiled and said, "Ever since you learned my secret, the troublesome problem of explaining to others where food comes from has been left to you."

"I knew it; the greater the secret you know, the greater the responsibility you bear."

"However, this is a sweet responsibility. Only a wealthy man like you could afford to provide so many good things."

“The word ‘rich man’ is quite a big label.”

Yuan Wenjie laughed and said, "For me, this word is a compliment. Now, I am ashamed of it, but in the future, I will be proud of it. My parents are business people, and in my mind, the more money the better. But at times like this, we can only say these things to each other in a secluded place."

"With your mindset, I'll never have to worry about money in my life."

"So! This time when we're out, we can eat whatever we want, and buy whatever we like. We don't need to worry about the money."

"You're being too arrogant... it sounds like you're talking to a nouveau riche."

It only takes about 20 minutes to drive from the military region guesthouse to the military region family compound.

Upon arriving at the military compound, the gatekeepers were two young soldiers. One of them, upon seeing Yuan Wenjie, exclaimed with delight, "Commander Yuan, you're back! Old Luo and Aunt Lin were saying this morning that you might be coming back today."

Yuan Wenjie said, "Tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve, we have to get back before then!"

"That's great. Mr. Luo and Aunt Lin will be overjoyed to see you and your wife."

The car drove into the military compound and came to a two-story house with a small courtyard.

"This is my parents' home!" Yuan Wenjie introduced.

Upon hearing the car, Yuan Wenjie's nephew, Luo Xingguo, ran out.

"Third Uncle, is Third Uncle back?"

He then ran into the yard.

"Grandpa, Grandma, my third uncle is back."

Luo Qinghua ran out wearing a military overcoat.

Next to emerge was Jiang Yuting, wearing reading glasses.

The elderly couple were both in their sixties, with graying hair and kind faces.

Su Jinru quickly got out of the car with Yuan Wenjie.

Yuan Wenjie pushed her in front of the Luo couple.

"Dad, Mom, this is Aru, Su Jinru."

"Hello, Mom and Dad!" Su Jinru greeted them first.

"Okay, okay, Aru, right! That's great!"

Jiang Yuting pulled Su Jinru up and down, looking her over.

"Not bad, she's a good match for our Ah Jie, they're a match made in heaven."

Upon hearing the news, the eldest son of the Luo family, Luo Shaoan, and his wife, Wang Shuqiong, followed by the second son, Luo Shaoping, and his wife, Yang Yi.

Both of Luo's sons were dressed in military uniforms. They were very tall and looked exactly like their father, with striking eyebrows, bright eyes, high noses, and full lips. They exuded a powerful and heroic aura.

However, the old man's face was etched with the marks of time; his eldest son, Luo Shaoan, was mature and reserved, while his second son, Luo Shaoping, was slightly more cheerful.

The three boys who came out later all had the same eyebrows and eyes, and the same chubby, adorable faces.

A thought involuntarily came to Su Jinru's mind: "A family of military generals, a family of unwavering loyalty."

From its appearance to its name, everything embodies this statement.

The old man's name was Luo Qinghua. He had two sons, An and Ping, and three grandsons, from eldest to youngest: Luo Qiangguo, Luo Jianguo, and Luo Xingguo.

The two daughters-in-law are similar in appearance, clothing and temperament. They are both dressed in plain blue cotton coats, with fair skin and ordinary features, but they have a very upright and gentle temperament.

Looking at the Luo family, Su Jinru's heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, finally calmed down.

This family, from top to bottom, looks like a kind and honest family.

After everyone introduced themselves, Yuan Wenjie unloaded his things from the car.

Seeing so many things being unloaded from the car, Jiang Yuting said, "Oh dear! You came back from so far away with so much stuff. It must have been quite inconvenient for you on the way back! You can't bring so much stuff next time you come back. Traveling is tiring enough, and bringing so much stuff is even more tiring."

As Yuan Wenjie moved the load, he said, "If I hadn't stopped her, Aru would probably have filled a whole train car."

Wang Shuqiong said, "Even if you manage to get a whole train carload of stuff, we don't have anywhere to pack it all."

"That's right! It's not easy to come all this way, and it's exhausting."
