Chapter 416 Just come to our house for a meal, that would be nice of you.

Yao Shula stayed in Yun County with her younger siblings until after the tenth day of the first lunar month before returning to Shanghai.

Grandma Yao stayed here the night before she left, and the others said they would come over early the next morning.

Grandma Yao showed Yao Shula the prepared items one by one.

"We make the cured pork and sausages ourselves. Your third sister-in-law's restaurant ordered three pigs from the countryside specifically for making sausages and curing salted pork."

These meats of yours were picked out by your aunt, your maternal aunt, and me. We cooked them together, according to your tastes. I'm sure you'll love them.

The same goes for salted fish; we make them ourselves.

That bag contains purslane that I dried. You can take some back and use it to make steamed buns or pancakes.

And that box of salted duck eggs is what we made. They were pickled with wood ash, the kind you ate the other day and said was delicious and oily. Your third sister-in-law and I pickled them together. There's a whole box of them. You can eat them for breakfast. They're better than buying them outside.

Those two boxes of steamed buns were prepared by your aunt. They have all kinds of fillings. You must have a refrigerator in your house in Shanghai, right?

If you don't have one, you can buy one of those big freezers, the kind that used to be sold in small shops outside.

"Keep one at home. We'll put all the things we bring you in there. Once it's frozen, it'll last a long time!" Grandma Yao instructed.

Now that Yao Shula has enough money to build a five-story building, buying an extra freezer is definitely not a big deal.

That way, if anyone goes to Shanghai in the future, they can ask them to bring something to Yao Shula.

Yao Shula immediately nodded, indicating that she would definitely buy a large freezer for the two boxes of steamed buns.

"Your eldest uncle and aunt also prepared a lot of dried dandelions for you, saying that according to the old Chinese medicine doctor, it's good for women who are prone to anger; just drink a cup after you're done being angry!"

Take this with you; if you get upset by someone, just make yourself a cup of hot water.

"I think your aunt prepared all this for nothing. You're the one who's going to upset others, not you!" Grandma Yao muttered under her breath.

Yao Shula almost burst out laughing. Her grandmother knew her well and knew that she was never one to suffer a loss.

"Grandma, I'll definitely take good care of myself! You don't need to worry," Yao Shula reassured her grandmother.

Grandma Yao hummed in agreement, and then continued to instruct Yao Shula.

"Do you see that box with the bow? It's full of insoles and knee pads that we made for you."

Although the weather in Shanghai isn't as good as in Yunxian, it's still a bit humid. You must take good care of your joints, otherwise, you'll suffer when you get old.

That bag, wrapped tightly in several cotton sacks, contains spiced peanuts, roasted peanuts, various sunflower seeds, and other dried goods that your sister Chunian prepared for you. They're even better than what she sells in her shop!

Yao Shula nodded quickly.

After saying all this, Grandma Yao held onto Yao Shula and Yao Shuxin's hands and wouldn't let go.

"Who knows when you'll come back next time! It's alright, it's good that you're out there, that's how you make something of yourself."

"If you miss Grandma, just call her." Grandma Yao seemed to be comforting the Yao sisters, but she was actually comforting herself as well.

She's getting old, and she doesn't know how many more times she'll get to see these three children!

"Grandma, don't think too much. Even if we don't come back, you can still come to Shanghai to see us!"

You've lived in Yun County for so many years, but you've never left Yun County! When the weather gets warmer, you should go out and see the world.

"Now you can leave everything at home to your aunt. While you're still able to get around, go out and have a look around. I'll take you on a nice trip to Shanghai!" Yao Shula quickly said.

Yao Shuxin also comforted Grandma Yao.

"Yes! When you come to Shanghai to visit us, my sister is probably getting married within a year, you have to come and see her!"

When Yao Shula's story was mentioned, Grandma Yao's sense of loss immediately disappeared.

Her mind is completely focused on Yao Shula's upcoming marriage.

"Shura, you and Xiao Lei... are doing very well! But Grandma also knows that Xiao Lei's parents are not ordinary people, and the elders in the family must be strict."

If someone criticizes you, you can tolerate it if you want, or don't if you don't.

When you come back, Shuxin and Shuli will be older and able to protect you. We won't have to suffer that kind of treatment.

However, I think Xiao Lei is a reliable person, he'll definitely protect you!

"When you get married, let us know, and we'll send two representatives over. No matter what... it'll make sure they only know you have family on your mother's side." Grandma Yao lowered her voice.

"Grandma, don't worry, I'll definitely let you know in advance when that day comes," Yao Shula immediately agreed.

Grandma Yao was holding one granddaughter's hand in each hand.

"You two have both made something of yourselves! You're both adults now, and I have no more worries! Shuli is a boy, so it's good for him to go out and explore more."

"You all... finally we don't have to worry about each other anymore!" Grandma Yao said with a sigh.

Yao Shula and Yao Shuxin leaned against Grandma Yao without saying much, just like that.

Early the next morning, Yao Chunian, Zhong Xiaochun, Miao Yamin, along with his maternal uncle and aunt, his three sisters-in-law, and Yao's paternal aunt all arrived.

I bought breakfast that Yao Shula and the others liked from outside, watched them finish eating, and then loaded the food into the car.

At nine o'clock, Yao Shula and her group, who had been in Yun County for more than half a month, finally returned to Shanghai.

Grandma Yao and the others stood at the street corner until the car was out of sight before going home.

...

After returning to Shanghai, Yao Shula got busy again.

Shuxin will be returning to North America to continue her studies in a few days, and Yao Shula has a lot to prepare.

Similarly, Yao Shuli's internship application in Hong Kong is being processed, and Yao Shula feels like she has endless things to do.

Just after seeing Yao Shuxin off on her flight to North America, Lei Jingwu told Yao Shula something.

"I told my mom that I've won you over, and you've agreed to marry me. The next step is for you to formally meet the members of the Lei family."

Don't worry, it's just a formality.

Anyway, my grandpa, my mom, and my dad already know. As for the others... they can just go through the motions! Lei Jingwu said to Yao Shula with a smile.

Yao Shula...

So fast? What am I going to do if I'm not prepared at all!

"Does it have to be now?" Yao Shula asked.

“Of course! Miss, I’m over thirty! If this matter doesn’t come to a conclusion soon… people will really start to suspect that there’s something wrong with me!” Lei Jingwu insisted.

"Is there anything I need to prepare?" Yao Shula asked.

"Just come to our house for a meal, and I'll take care of the rest. Oh, and my mom too!" Lei Jingwu still didn't want Yao Shula to worry.
