After Chef Zhao and the others took a break, they went back to the noodle shop to get busy.
Second Brother Yun carried a bag of things over to Grandma and Grandpa’s place.
He chatted with them for a while, and seeing it wasn’t early, he went ho to take over the things prepared by the little sister for their parents.
"Yun Laoer, you’ve brought another package for your parents?"
"That’s quite a lot of stuff, isn’t it?"
"My little sister cares about our parents."
As soon as he left, these aunties started talking, "That Xiaoxiao is really very filial. She frequently sends things to her parents—food, clothes, necessities. We used to laugh at Accountant Li, saying that daughters are ant to be married off, but now look, whose daughter cares for her family like hers does?"
"Isn’t that true?"
Second Brother Yun didn’t have to wait long before Father Yun and Mother Yun ca back.
"Weren’t you in the Capital City?"
Father Yun saw Second Brother Yun, and earlier, eting the in-laws, he heard he’d gone to the Capital City.
"I ca back today. Little sister asked to bring you so things. Open the door; it’s too hot outside."
Father Yun quickly opened the door and saw his youngest son carrying a big bag, bringing in quite a lot, putting things down, and turning on the fan in the living room.
"Where’s mom?"
"She should be back soon too."
"Where are those two nephews of mine?"
"They went back ho."
Mother Yun ca ho a step later. She saw Second Brother Yun had arrived, with a heap of things piled on the table.
"These are clothes your little sister bought for you. Try them on to see if they fit. And these are other things she bought for you."
"So many things bought?"
"We flew back and handled the shipping."
Plane?
"Yes, little sister also said we have flights over here now, so it’s more convenient to visit their side. They also bought a car back at little sister’s ho, and both she and her husband can drive."
Flying?
"Look, this is a family portrait we took."
Mother Yun took the photo; her youngest daughter hadn’t changed much, still so beautiful.
Da Bao and Xiao Bao had grown taller.
"Mom, you can have this photo."
Then Second Brother Yun started talking about how Yun Xiaoxiao spoils her kids.
"I really didn’t know how well off little sister’s ho is now. She buys food without even blinking an eye—crab, abalone, big shrimp, and sea fish. As long as the kids like to eat it, she buys it. There are so fruits that I haven’t even seen in decades of living, and she gets them for them."
"Little sister’s ho is getting better and better. The house is big; there are so many books in the study room that her ho may have more books than so bookstores. They have more appliances too—two washing machines, a television, electric rice cooker, telephone, radio..."
"Your little sister is being modest, not showing off."
Not showing off?
"I understand now, book-educated people like little sister and her husband are really clever. Her husband treats her exceptionally well. I heard that all those comrcial spaces are in little sister’s na."
To be honest, upon learning that his daughter had found a mud-legged country boy, Father Yun was also a bit disdainful deep down.
But upon knowing his son-in-law got into college, it felt better.
Out of the four children, only the youngest two got into college; the others didn’t take the exams.
"Grand Aunt and Grand Uncle are doing very well."
Second Brother Yun didn’t stay long at Father Yun and Mother Yun’s place. Before leaving, he left a ssage, "Mom and Dad, we’ve grown up now. Don’t hold back on eating or wearing anything. When you retire, we’ll all take care of you in your old age."
"Okay."
They’re just in their fifties, still able to work.
Looking at the number of things on the table.
