"Who are you guys? What are you doing at my doorstep?"
Suddenly, a man’s voice ca from behind.
Nan Xi and Lin Xiaoyan turned around and saw a middle-aged man looking at them with caution.
Lin Xiaoyan felt a bit embarrassed, "Um..., we ca back with Xiao Bo."
"Xiao Bo?" Mr. Jin was taken aback.
"Dad!"
Xiao Bo’s figure appeared at the door.
Mr. Jin saw it was indeed his son, and a big smile appeared on his face.
"Xiao Bo, it’s really you! When did you co back?"
Mr. Jin quickly walked up to his son, looked at him, and excitedly patted his shoulder.
At this mont, Mrs. Jin wiped her tears, ca out, and paused when she saw two pretty young won standing outside.
"Xiao Bo, who are these two?"
Mrs. Jin’s heart raced with excitent, could they be her son’s girlfriends?!
Xiao Bo quickly introduced, "Dad, Mom, this is my boss! This is my colleague!"
Xiao Bo pointed at Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi.
Lin Xiaoyan hadn’t expected Xiao Bo to introduce them to his family in this way. She paused and, seeing Xiao Bo’s gaze, smiled at Mr. and Mrs. Jin.
"Hello, Uncle and Aunt. You can just call Xiao Yan. We passed by your house, so we ca to visit."
Nan Xi coldly said, "Hello."
Upon hearing that it was their son’s boss, Mr. and Mrs. Jin felt a bit doubtful about what kind of boss it was, but it wasn’t appropriate to ask in front of guests.
"Hello, hello, co in and sit down. Our ho is a bit rough; please don’t mind..." Mrs. Jin warmly led the two inside.
Mr. Jin looked on and then turned to ride his electric bike to buy groceries.
Previously unaware of his son’s return, especially with his boss, he needed to buy so at and groceries to properly entertain them.
As soon as Mr. Jin rode out, he ran into his elderly mother walking toward their house with a cane.
Upon seeing his mother, Mr. Jin felt a bit impatient.
"Is Bo back? If he’s back, why hasn’t he visited ?"
Grandma Jin saw her eldest son and angrily questioned him.
Mr. Jin: ...
He took a deep breath and explained, "Mom, Xiao Bo just arrived ho and hasn’t even sat down. He’s busy with work and brought his boss along. It was nice of the boss to let Xiao Bo co ho for a visit. You go back for now, and when Xiao Bo has free ti, he’ll visit you."
Upon hearing that her grandson brought his boss along, Grandma Jin paused her steps and reluctantly turned to leave.
"Ungrateful grandson! If he doesn’t co to see first thing, what’s the use of having such a grandson..."
Listening to his mother’s grumbles, Mr. Jin was furious, but rembering his mother’s usual behavior, he held back his anger.
Over here, Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi were warmly pulled to sit down and drink tea by Mrs. Jin.
Mrs. Jin entered the kitchen to steam so rice and then started preparing the dishes.
Lin Xiaoyan looked at Xiao Bo and said, "Don’t let Auntie work too hard, we’ll eat whatever we have."
Xiao Bo nodded, got up, and went to the kitchen to tell his mom.
Mrs. Jin, "Silly child, if the boss said so, you’re really not being polite. Go, go, go, you go out and keep the guests company, no need for you to be in the kitchen!"
Xiao Bo was ushered out, helplessly touching his nose.
He looked at the living room and found Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi had gone out.
Lin Xiaoyan took out so local specialties she had bought while passing through so cities from the car.
Nan Xi took them and brought them inside.
Xiao Bo saw this and quickly refused, "Xiao Yan, Sister Nan, I don’t want these."
Lin Xiaoyan looked at Xiao Bo, "Mm, they’re not for you; they’re for Uncle and Aunt."
Xiao Bo: ..... How co since getting ho, he’s beco so unpopular?
Lin Xiaoyan looked at the vegetable field opposite the Jin house, which was well-tended, and fresh green seedlings had already sprouted.
She looked for a while, recognizing so, while others seed unique to this area.
"Bo is back?! Did he bring his girlfriend ho?"
A middle-aged woman suddenly intruded into Lin Xiaoyan’s view, and Lin Xiaoyan saw the woman with high cheekbones, sunken cheeks, looking her up and down.
Her face full of shrewdness indicated soone who wasn’t easy to deal with.
Xiao Bo saw the visitor, his expression darkened, "Aunt Jin, are you here for dinner?"
Aunt Jin’s gaze swept over the car parked in the yard, which looked like a luxury car.
She had just picked up her grandson from school and heard people in the village say Bo ca back in a luxury car.
"I haven’t cooked yet, just picked up your little brother from school. There’s no food at ho, so I ca to see if you have any food."
Xiao Bo frowned, "Aunt Jin, didn’t you buy groceries when you picked up Xiao Hao? We don’t have any food either; my dad just went to buy so."
Aunt Jin seed oblivious to the implication, directly laughing, "Well, then it’s perfect. I won’t cook today, I’ll eat at your place!"
Upon hearing these words, Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi looked at Aunt Jin in surprise; this person... really has thick skin!
Xiao Bo’s face turned dark, and he refused, "That’s impossible Aunt Jin, we have guests at ho. You’d better go borrow so groceries from another house."
Rejected, Aunt Jin was taken aback as she saw the three people in the yard looking at her. She secretly cursed Bo for being tactless and could only awkwardly leave.
Lin Xiaoyan watched Aunt Jin leave with reluctance and thought of the kind Mrs. Jin preparing food in the kitchen.
All too aware of what Xiao Bo had said, his aunt indeed seed like soone who loved to bully others.
Soon after, before Mr. Jin returned, another figure ca to the Jin house.
A seven or eight-year-old boy walked over slowly.
Jin Hao had been forced by his grandmother to co borrow so vinegar.
"Auntie, my... my grandma asked to... borrow so vinegar..." Jin Hao timidly walked into the kitchen and said.
Mrs. Jin heard this, felt upset, but couldn’t show anger in front of a child. She took a small bowl, poured so vinegar, and handed it to Xiao Hao.
"Here, be careful on your way back; don’t spill it."
"Okay, thank you, Auntie." Jin Hao blushing, carefully took the vinegar and walked back.
Actually, his grandma’s intention was for him not to go ho and to have lunch at Auntie’s house.
Although he didn’t want to return ho either, he felt embarrassed about eating here.
"Sigh, if we weren’t always on the road, I’d get a little puppy to raise!"
Lin Xiaoyan said to Nan Xi as she walked, not noticing the child coming out of the house.
By the ti Nan Xi saw it, it was too late, and they bumped into each other, causing the child to fall onto the ground.
Lin Xiaoyan ca to her senses and quickly helped up the child on the ground, saying "Sorry."
However, the mont the child fell onto the ground, he started crying, holding his bottom as he got back up.
Vinegar spilled everywhere, including onto Lin Xiaoyan and Jin Hao.
In the strong vinegar sll, Lin Xiaoyan’s face wore an incredulous expression.
She continued squatting on the ground, her gaze focusing on the boy crying and clutching his bottom beside her.
