241: Baoqiang's journey home.

Father Chen and Mother Chen quickly accepted this fact.

Seeing this, Chen Le walked over with a smile and said, "Dad, Mom, we've already tidied up your room. You can move right in."

"The room? Let's go take a look." Hearing Chen Le's words, Mother Chen immediately called out to Father Chen and pulled him along to see the room.

This was a house worth millions, after all. She wanted to see the difference between a multi-million yuan house and the ones they built in the countryside for over a hundred thousand yuan.

Upon entering the room, they discovered there was indeed a difference.

If nothing else, the layout and decoration of this room looked much more high-end than their own home.

After putting their things away, they walked out of the room.

After all, there wasn't much to see in the room; it felt a bit novel the first time, but after looking at it for a while, it didn't feel like much.

Just as she stepped out of the room, Mother Chen heard the sounds of Chen Le and Yang Mi busy in the kitchen.

Walking over to take a look, she saw they were preparing dinner.

"Mom, how do you like that room? If it's not okay, I'll switch you to another one," Chen Le asked immediately upon seeing his mother.

"It's very good, no need to change."

"Are you making dinner? Let me do it." Seeing them chopping vegetables, Mother Chen's hands grew itchy, and she wanted to cook.

"No need, Mom. You and Dad just wait. Today, let us give you a taste of our culinary skills," Chen Le said, waving his hand dismissively.

"Alright, then your father and I will just wait." Hearing Chen Le say this, Mother Chen didn't insist and turned to leave the kitchen.

At this time, Father Chen was sitting on the sofa, fiddling with the remote control in his hand.

Looking at the large-screen color TV in front of him, he was very curious.

The screen of this TV was huge, several times larger than the one at his home.

"This TV screen is so big, and the picture is so clear. I wonder how much it cost." Father Chen watched the program playing on the TV, seeing everything with perfect clarity.

It was many times clearer than that old TV set at home.

In this day and age, the resolution of TVs that most people could afford was quite low, not even 1080p. The one in front of Father Chen was 1080p; with high resolution, it was naturally expensive.

However, Chen Le had long been used to the standard 1080p quality of later generations. Looking at a screen that didn't even reach 1080p now felt like looking at a blurry mess, which was quite unacceptable to him.

"It really is clear. It feels much better than the TV at home." Mother Chen was also a bit surprised to see the clear picture on the TV.

It was her first time seeing such a clear television.

While the two of them were discussing, in the kitchen, Chen Le and Yang Mi chatted while they worked.

"Old Chen, do you think your parents will like the dishes I made?" Yang Mi asked, looking at Chen Le.

The dishes she knew how to make were all local Beijing home-cooked meals, nothing special.

"They'll like them. Your cooking is actually quite delicious!" Chen Le said with a smile.

For Mother Chen, as long as it was a meal made by Yang Mi, she would likely praise it as delicious.

Hearing Chen Le's words, the tension in Yang Mi's heart eased slightly... On the other side, Wang Baoqiang and Li Xin were also preparing to set off on their journey home.

This year was the first time Wang Baoqiang was bringing Li Xin home. He was very satisfied with Li Xin, but he didn't know what his parents would think.

So he was also a bit nervous, dragging it out until now, with only a few days left before the Lunar New Year, before finally boarding the plane home.

Fortunately, plane tickets were still easy to book, especially since he had booked business class.

Compared to economy class, not many people were vying for business class.

Plus, having his assistant keep an eye on it for him in advance, he managed to buy the tickets home.

Similarly, Li Xin was also very nervous at this time. She didn't know if Wang Baoqiang's parents would like her.

The closer the day of boarding came, the more nervous and anxious she became.

Fortunately, she had Wang Baoqiang's comfort. Wang Baoqiang kept reassuring her not to worry and that he was there.

After a few hours of flight, the plane arrived at the capital of Yu Province, and then the two took a train toward the city where Wang Baoqiang's hometown was located.

After a few more hours, they finally arrived at the city railway station near Wang Baoqiang's hometown.

Now, they needed to hire a car to take them home.

With the help of 'superpowers' (money), a car was soon willing to take them.

After all, Wang Baoqiang offered too much; for one trip, the driver could earn several hundred yuan.

Wang Baoqiang's mindset was long different from before. In the past, he might have haggled over dozens or a hundred yuan, but now this amount was just small change.

As the car drove into the village where Wang Baoqiang's home was located, Li Xin looked outside curiously.

"Is this Baoqiang's home?" Li Xin couldn't help but think to herself.

Her home was also in the countryside, so she could accept the scenes in the village.

She even found it a bit novel.

Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of Wang Baoqiang's home.

At this time, most people were preparing for the New Year in a few days.

Wang Baoqiang's parents were the same; they were currently working in the yard.

When they heard the sound of a car, they suddenly stood up.

Then they walked to the gate of the yard and looked out to see a black car parked at their doorstep.

Nowadays, anyone who could own a car was wealthy. After all, a car worth over a hundred thousand yuan was not something an ordinary person could easily afford, especially in the countryside.

A hundred thousand yuan was equivalent to a whole house.

At this moment, Wang Baoqiang got out of the car.

When Wang Baoqiang's parents saw him, smiles immediately broke out on their faces.

Following that, Li Xin also got out of the car.

When they saw Li Xin following closely behind, Wang Baoqiang's parents immediately realized that this must be Wang Baoqiang's girlfriend, Li Xin.

They knew of Li Xin's existence and had seen her photos, but they had never met her in person.

Seeing her now, both of them had the same thought: Li Xin was even prettier than in the photos.

They immediately stepped forward. Seeing his parents, Wang Baoqiang was also beaming with smiles.

He hadn't seen his parents for a long time. Looking at them now, there were more wrinkles on their faces and quite a bit more white hair.

This suddenly gave him a mixed feeling in his heart.

His parents were starting to grow old, and he still wasn't married.

"Dad, Mom! This is Xin Xin!" Wang Baoqiang set aside his emotions and introduced his girlfriend to the two elders with a smile.

"Good, Xin Xin, hello!" Father Wang and Mother Wang, their faces full of happy smiles, greeted Li Xin.

Li Xin thought for a long time, not knowing how to address Wang Baoqiang's parents. After thinking about it, she simply gritted her teeth and called out, "Dad, Mom, hello."

Hearing this, Father Wang and Mother Wang were stunned for a moment, and then the smiles on their faces deepened.

"Ah, good, good girl. Come inside quickly, it's cold outside," Mother Wang immediately ushered Li Xin in.

At this time, the driver got out of the car.

He took the initiative to help Wang Baoqiang move the luggage.

After moving the luggage, he bid Wang Baoqiang a smiling farewell.
