226: Grandpa and grandma are here

Bai Xue whispered a few words into Zheng Jin's ear.

Zheng Jin's eyes widened instantly, looking at Bai Xue in disbelief, and after seeing Bai Xue nod in confirmation, she immediately smiled and urged everyone to eat more, her grin reaching her ears and never fading.

At 1 PM, everyone who had received the call arrived at the pier together, and soon after, they saw a fishing boat slowly approaching.

After the harvest docked, Yang Limin and Bai Dahai disembarked first and exchanged greetings with their welcoming families.

Through Zheng Jin's introduction, they also greeted Zhang Li and the others.

On the other side, Chen Tianming had already arranged for crewmen to unload the cargo. When baskets of various seafood were hoisted ashore from the ice-fresh hold, Zhang Li and the others were astonished.

They had never seen so much seafood at once; basically, every type of seafood was measured in tons. Have you ever seen that?

Next were the live products from the live fish hold: various more valuable marine fish, as well as different Crabs, lobsters, mantis shrimp, and so on.

So much seafood coming ashore at once truly opened Zhang Li and the others' eyes.

According to Bai Dahai, they encountered several schools of fish this time, including Sea Bass schools and Beltfish schools, but the most abundant and valuable was the Meitong Fish school.

It was indeed a great harvest.

Although Zhang Li and the others had caught a lot of fish yesterday and repeatedly said they didn't need any more seafood, they eventually, at the insistence of Zheng Jin and the others, each took a box of seafood they hadn't caught yesterday.

After all the seafood was weighed and taken away, Yang Limin and Bai Dahai followed Chen Tianming to settle the bill. Yang Qi carried several bags of seafood and distributed them to the masters in the guardhouse.

The crewmen, as usual, carried their share of fish and departed. Yang Qi and Uncle loaded some small fish and shrimp onto a tricycle, asking Chen Lanying and the others to take them to the town pier for cheap wholesale.

They weren't planning to set up a stall today, partly because they had guests at home, and also because they needed to prepare for moving into the new house. Most importantly, they had to go to the high-speed rail station later to pick up their maternal grandparents and others.

Zhang Jun had just called to confirm the time. Yesterday at the auction, when he heard Yang Qi say that his maternal grandparents were coming today, he decided to go pick them up together.

When Yang Qi was almost done with his tasks, he checked his phone, then drove Bai Xue, Zheng Tie, and Chen Lanxin to the high-speed rail station to pick up the guests.

Upon arriving at the high-speed rail station's underground parking lot, Yang Qi saw Zhang Jun's G-Wagen and parked beside it.

Unexpectedly, he met Zhang Jun, Liu Yao, and Lu Hua waiting for him at the entrance.

After a round of thanks, the group went to the exit to await the arrival of their maternal grandparents and the others.

Not long after, they saw their maternal grandparents, along with their maternal eldest uncle and maternal second uncle, appear together.

“Maternal grandparents, maternal eldest uncle, maternal second uncle, over here, over here!” Yang Qi was the first to spot them and waved vigorously.

“Maternal grandparents, maternal eldest uncle, maternal second uncle, you’ve finally arrived! Let me introduce you, this is Chen Lanxin, Uncle’s girlfriend!”

Yang Qi introduced Chen Lanxin first.

Chen Lanxin, meeting her future in-laws for the first time, was a little nervous. She bowed slightly and stammered, “Hello, Uncle and Auntie. Hello, Eldest Brother and Second Brother. I am Chen Lanxin.”

“Good, good, good! What a good girl! So beautiful, my Xiao Tie is truly blessed.”

The maternal grandparents and others were all smiles, repeatedly praising her. The maternal grandmother held Chen Lanxin’s hand and didn't let go.

“Maternal grandparents, maternal eldest uncle, maternal second uncle, this is my girlfriend. Her name is Bai Xue.”

Yang Qi then pointed to Bai Xue and introduced her.

“Hello, maternal grandparents! Hello, maternal eldest uncle, maternal second uncle! My name is Bai Xue.”

Bai Xue greeted them sweetly.

Her mindset for meeting her in-laws was different from Chen Lanxin's; she was much more generous when meeting relatives, especially with the affection between generations, which is the same everywhere.

“Good, good! Both are good girls! Come to grandma’s house to play whenever you have time!”

The maternal grandmother took Bai Xue’s other hand.

“Dad, Mom, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, you’ve all worked hard.”

Zheng Tie seized the opportunity to greet them.

“Good boy, you’ve made progress, well done! You haven’t disgraced us!”

The eldest brother and second brother gathered around their younger brother, also happy for him.

“Maternal grandparents, this is Zhang…”

Before Yang Qi could finish his introduction, his maternal grandfather interrupted him.

“A-Jun, no need for you to introduce him, I know him very well, hahaha! And this is A Yao, I know him too, no need for you to introduce him.”

The maternal grandfather happily greeted the two of them.

“Hello, maternal grandparents!”

Zhang Jun and Liu Yao quickly spoke up to greet them.

“Maternal grandparents, my name is Lu Hua, and I’m also Yang Qi’s friend.”

Seeing that he was the only stranger, Lu Hua hurried forward to introduce himself.

“Good! Lu Hua, I remember you. A Hua, next time go to the old home with A-Jun and the others to fish for big black carp.”

The maternal grandfather was very happy to see Yang Qi bring several friends to pick him up.

Everyone pushed the luggage to the parking lot. Since the maternal grandmother was holding Chen Lanxin and Bai Xue's hands, one on each side, they got into Yang Qi's car.

The maternal grandfather was welcomed by Zhang Jun, and Zheng Tie also followed, as he needed to report to the old man about what had happened during this period.

The maternal eldest uncle and maternal second uncle were welcomed by Liu Yao. The only one left was Lu Hua; since he had come, he couldn't just drive back with an empty car, could he?

What to do when there's no one left? Then pull the luggage.

Not long after, Yang Qi's doorstep was filled with people: Yang Limin and his wife, Bai Dahai's family, plus Zhang Li's and Wang Chun's families.

Everyone watched as four luxury cars slowly stopped at the entrance. Zhang Jun and the others, seeing so many people at Yang Qi's house, didn't linger long; they greeted everyone and then left.

Zheng Jin looked at her mother, who was holding Chen Lanxin and Bai Xue's hands, one on each side, and joked, “Mom, now that you have a daughter-in-law and a niece-in-law, you don't care about your own daughter anymore, huh?”

“Your hands are old and rough, what's so good about holding them? They're not as soft as these two young girls' hands.”

The maternal grandmother was in a particularly good mood today and also joked back.

Yang Qi accompanied his maternal grandfather and maternal uncles on a tour of the house. Upon learning that Zheng Tie's house had the same structure, they all felt very proud of him.

Soon, Chen Lanying, Zhang Li, and the others had prepared a sumptuous dinner. After a round of toasts, Zhang Li's family and Bai Dahai's family all bid farewell and left.

Only Chen Lanxin and Bai Xue remained, chatting with the old lady.

Anyway, there were plenty of guest rooms at home, so Bai Xue didn't go home that night. It's just unknown whether someone might have quietly snuck into her room in the middle of the night.

Chen Lanxin, on the other hand, was driven back to Chenjiaping by Zheng Tie at 9 o'clock.

“A Tie, your mother seems to really like me!”

Under the big tree at the entrance of Chenjiaping Village, the two who had just exchanged kisses were tightly embracing. Chen Lanxin, breathing heavily and leaning bonelessly against Zheng Tie, said.

“Hmm, I think so too. You're so beautiful, they're definitely going to like you!”

Zheng Tie dotingly ruffled her little nose and said.

The two embraced in the darkness, continuously whispering sweet nothings, so much so that the insects on the tree stopped chirping, covered their ears, and fled.
