Chapter 1309 - 864: The Grand Finale: Saying Hello, As If They Were Calm Like Still Water (Guess Who’s Back!)

Su Xiaomeng forced a smile, "Hands... Move them!"

Yin Shixiu flipped over,

"Where do you want me to put them?"

Immediately followed by Su Xiaomeng’s continual screams, the temperature in the room steadily increased.

————

New Year’s Day, the day to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.

Su Xiaomeng and Yin Shixiu had already promised to join Grandpa Bai for a meal. Since there was a family banquet at the Yin Mansion in the evening, Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaomeng couldn’t leave, so they chose to return at noon to have lunch with their parents and Grandpa.

Early in the morning, Xiao Meng and Yin Shixiu set out with their two children, as the distance between the Yin Mansion and the Su Family was quite significant.

Just after nine o’clock, Xiao Meng arrived at her parents’ house.

Su Chengji didn’t go to his botanical garden today. Xiao Meng thought, it seemed she and the kids still held some weight in her dad’s heart. However, later Bai Sixian told her that he had to be coaxed to stay home, or he would have certainly slipped away after lunch.

As their car just stopped at the villa entrance, Su Chengji eagerly came up and lifted Shuang’er and Huang’er into his arms!

"Dad! Don’t strain your back! Both of them are heavy!"

Su Xiaomeng exclaimed in surprise.

Su Chengji didn’t care what Xiao Meng said, he was determined to carry the two little ones into the house.

Shuang’er and Huang’er, sitting on Su Chengji’s shoulders, were giggling non-stop.

When Bai Sixian came out, he was accompanied by a fresh-faced person...

From afar it was hard to tell, but as they came closer, Su Xiaomeng blinked, "Xiao... Jin?"

Su Jin raised her hand, waving at Su Xiaomeng, "Sister Xiaomeng, I’m back."

Su Xiaomeng was in shock for a moment, seeing Xiao Jin made her tearful, and without a word, she rushed forward to give Xiao Jin a good hug. "When did you come back to the country? Not even a hint?"

"I knew you would come today, so I wanted to surprise you."

Su Jin tightly returned the hug to Xiaomeng. These cousins played together since they were young. With so many children in the Su Family, few truly understood each other, especially after Xiaomeng’s family settled in Beijing, their contact with relatives in Su Family Village became sparse.

In fact, this caused some relatives in the Su Family to criticize them, thinking their family had become successful and forgotten their roots.

Xiaomeng knew in her heart that all these years, her parents never forgot Grandpa and Grandma, and visited them four or five times a year at least.

Her parents acted discreetly, even when returning home, they wouldn’t grandly inform those relatives. They would visit whenever they missed the elders, quietly, without fanfare. The two elders were not big talkers either. Relatives, seeing Su Chengji and Bai Sixian absent during festivals, criticized them.

The Su Family’s two elders couldn’t say much. People assumed the elders were protecting their pride, fearing accusations of raising unfilial children, hence they defended them.

The parents didn’t mind. As long as the elders felt their filial piety, it was enough. They wanted to be filial to the elders, not to all the relatives.

In recent years, Su Jin and Xiaomeng occasionally exchanged emails, mostly during New Year greetings.

Everyone was busy, and many relationships faded in this busyness, which was forgivable. However... if there was a relationship untouched by time and busyness, it must be truly precious.

Su Xiaomeng is twenty-seven this year, and Su Jin is twenty-six.

"Three years in Sydney, it must have worried your parents constantly, right?"

Su Jin touched her nose, adjusted her glasses. She still seemed to prefer glasses with metal thin frames, which had a textured style. Only the old ones were replaced, but the style remained unchanged.

"It’s all because you, Sister Xiaomeng, got married too early. Every time I called, they’d rush me to get married, citing you as an example."

Su Jin spoke, feeling a headache.

"Sorry!"

The two walked into the house, half-laughing, half-talking. Bai Sixian initially wanted to follow them inside, but then noticed Yin Shixiu was still unloading things from the car trunk. He quickly turned back to help, and upon seeing the trunk full of items, Bai Sixian promptly said,

"No need to bring so much stuff each time; we lack nothing at home!"

Bai Sixian helped to lift two bags of wine. Yin Shixiu merely smiled, with various high-end nutrition products, some only seen in glass cases locked in malls, some labeled in languages Bai Sixian couldn’t even identify.

After all, the Yin Family members traveled all over the world. There’s nothing valuable they couldn’t bring back.

Yet, everything they brought back would be sent to the Yin Mansion?
