Chapter 163 Visit 5
On the third day after Ziyue returned to China, Qing's father took her to the Bai family.
The Bai family mainly operates in the catering and grain industries. Since food is the most important thing for people, grain, like medicinal herbs, was an absolute strategic resource and was still very important at this time.
The Bai family is also being watched by many people, but the head of the Bai family is not someone to be trifled with. His three sons are all grown up and capable of supporting the family, so others don't know where to start.
Uncle Bai and Qing Wanjun were childhood friends, practically inseparable since they were little. The two brothers had a very good relationship from a young age, and Uncle Bai treated Ziyue like his own daughter.
They would always send a portion of whatever their own children had to the Qing family mansion.
Jewelry, precious silk fabrics, exquisite trinkets, pastries and delicacies—they showered the original owner with gifts.
The original owner had a very close relationship with the Bai family.
"Godfather and godmother, have you missed me? I've missed you so much."
As soon as Ziyue got out of the car, she saw Bai Hao waiting at the door, along with his wife, and excitedly greeted them.
Then, looking at Bai Yumo, the eldest son of the Bai family, and Bai Yuqi, the second son of the Bai family, who were standing next to the Bai couple, Ziyue walked over and said without any politeness, "Big brother, second brother, it's been a long time."
The two brothers said in unison, "It's been so long since we've seen Yueyue, you're finally back!"
Bai Hao looked at his still lively and mischievous goddaughter with a kind expression. Her face was rosy and her skin was fair, showing that she hadn't suffered any hardship, which put his mind at ease.
Back then, when this girl wanted to study abroad, he didn't support her. But as parents, how could they go against their children's wishes? When children grow up and want to fly away, they, as parents, can only compromise.
He had been abroad for three years, and he and his wife had talked about it a lot. Now that they had returned home safely, it was a good thing. From now on, their daughter would be right under their noses, protected by them, and they wouldn't have to worry about her suffering.
Madam Bai had three sons but no daughters. Ziyue was a lovely girl from a young age, and Madam Bai adored her.
If Qing Wanjun hadn't only had her as his daughter, she would definitely have taken her home and raised her herself.
Fortunately, she still has the title of godmother. Although she wasn't born to her, she's considered her daughter, no different from her own.
Madam Bai stepped forward and took Ziyue's hand. "You silly girl, you're finally back. You won't be going abroad again, will you? Nothing abroad is as good as home. Come on, come on, your godmother has prepared your favorite seafood."
The mother and daughter walked hand in hand in front, with Bai's father and Qing's father following behind, chatting as they walked.
Finally, Brother Bai and Brother Bai Er exchanged a glance, realizing they had been ignored again.
However, they had already gotten used to it. With the little girl around, the three brothers were naturally worthless.
However, Yueyue is indeed a lovely little girl, looking like a porcelain doll. When the three brothers were young, they often fought each other to get their sister's attention.
"When will the third brother come back? Ha, let him run away. He didn't see Yueyue when she came back this time. He'll regret it to death when he gets back. Haha, when he comes back, we'll definitely make fun of him."
Bai Yumo, the eldest brother of the Bai family, shook his head with the same smile as Bai Yuqi. "Who knows? It might take a few more days. He's been held up by things in Xicheng. He's probably in a hurry right now. He should be back in a couple of days."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yuqi stopped worrying and quickened her pace. They hadn't seen their sister in a long time and missed her terribly.
The little girl has been gone for three years, and they have worried about her a lot. They were afraid that she would be bullied while she was alone abroad, that she would not be used to the food, that she would get sick and have no one to take care of her, and that she would miss home.
Domestic and foreign countries are thousands of miles apart, and it is inconvenient for them to travel back and forth across the ocean, making it difficult for them to reach out and help.
Now, the person is finally back.
Ziyue took out all the gifts she had prepared for them. For Bai's father, she prepared a painting and calligraphy by a famous Tang Dynasty artist; for Bai's mother, she prepared a set of diamond jewelry; for Bai's eldest brother, she prepared a specially made fountain pen; and for Bai's second brother, she prepared two recipes for delicious food.
Knowing that Brother Bai was not there, she didn't bring the gift she had prepared for him; it was still at the Qing Mansion, and she would give it to him when they met again.
The gifts Ziyue prepared were all very touching; they loved them dearly and praised Ziyue highly.
The group of six took their seats, and the aroma of the delicious food on the table was irresistible. In the original owner's memory, the food at her godfather and godmother's house was always delicious.
The chefs are all descendants of imperial chefs, and their ancestral skills are impeccable.
The Bai family possesses quite a few recipes for various delicacies.
While Ziyue was talking to everyone, she didn't stop eating and drinking. After all, she really loved good food!
Seeing Ziyue burying her head in her food like a little hamster, the elders couldn't help but chuckle.
But then I thought, my child must have suffered a lot abroad, at the very least, the food must not be as good as it is in China.
Abroad, you can only eat Western food. After a while, it definitely gets boring. Once you go back to China, you just want to eat whatever you want.
Everyone piled food onto Ziyue's plate. "That's enough, that's enough, godfather, godmother, eldest brother, second brother, I can't finish eating in a little while," Ziyue quickly covered her plate.
"It's alright, it's alright, eat more. If you can't finish it, just leave it." Madam Bai looked at her beautiful young lady who had grown up gracefully and couldn't help but sigh, "In the blink of an eye, Yueyue has grown into a young lady."
“That’s right. I remember when she was just born, she was as small as a kitten. Now, in the blink of an eye, she’s grown up so much. Time really flies!” Mr. Bai chimed in from the side.
The group ate and chatted. Although they hadn't seen each other for three years, Ziyue felt no sense of unfamiliarity with them.
They were so familiar and harmonious with each other, as if Ziyue had never been abroad.
