Chapter 1065: Return-Home Visit

Liu Chuxue naturally knew what mattered most.

The return-home gifts had been delivered to her by Mother Fu the night before, but she had specially prepared a small jar of ginseng wine for Old Master Xiao, brewed using a method she had obtained earlier from those households she had ransacked.

According to the instructions, this ginseng wine was already ready to be opened and drunk. She had also prepared a jar of ginseng honey for Grand-Aunt, since as a step-grandmother, the old lady had truly been very good to them. She was the sort of person who, if you were good to her, would repay it double.

After her return-home visit, the old couple would soon be heading back to the Xiao clan estate to live. With these things, they could also help regulate and nourish their health. Who knows, they might even live several more decades. As long as their health was good, they could shelter these younger ones for a few more years. This bit of accounting she could still see through clearly.

Just as she had finished preparing, Fu Yan Cheng also entered the room: "Xue'er, are you ready?"

Liu Chuxue pointed at the two extra items: "These are what I specially prepared for Grandfather and Grand-Aunt. Bring them along as well."

Fu Yan Cheng was a little puzzled: "When did you prepare these?"

Liu Chuxue pointed at a cabinet that had come as part of her dowry: "I sealed them inside that cabinet at the time, and entrusted them to my Fourth Cousin, telling him to keep them safe and not let them get bumped."

Just as she finished speaking, Seeing Fu Yanwan also entered the courtyard: "Fourth Brother, Fourth Sister-in-law, are you ready? Grandfather has had Xiao Li drive over."

The jar wasn't large to begin with, and Liu Chuxue wasn't afraid Fu Yan Cheng would press her to the very bottom of the matter. After all, even with the time-flow boost, the ginseng she had previously planted in her space was only a few decades old in ginseng age. She couldn't bear to pull them all out now. As for the ginseng planted later from seeds she had obtained, those were only a few years old in ginseng age.

The Fu Yan Cheng siblings carried all the cigarettes, alcohol, tea, sugar, and meat the family had prepared, along with the white flour, rice, and pastries, and loaded them all onto the car.

When Liu Chuxue reached the front gate, she heard Fu Yan Cheng telling the driver: "Xiao Li, I'll drive the car myself. If you have things to do at home, go take care of them. Just remember to come pick us up in the afternoon."

Xiao Li's face was all smiles: "That works. I'll come over once I'm done with my errand. I definitely won't hold things up."

After the married couple said goodbye to Fu Yanwan, they started the car and headed toward the Xiao family.

There weren't many cars on the streets now, so it took less than half an hour to arrive.

Before the car had even come to a full stop, they heard Qiu Yiming from Little Aunt's family shout: "Second Uncle, Cousin Chuxue and Cousin Brother-in-Law are back!"

The people in the courtyard, hearing the shout, all headed toward the front gate.

From a distance, they spotted the car parked not far away.

Xiao Eldest Aunt and Xiao Little Aunt, leading a few little rascals, were the first to go out and greet them: "You're back."

The married couple, while unloading things from the car, smiled and greeted them: "Eldest Aunt, Little Aunt, Cousin Yiming, Cousin Yilin."

Upon seeing Ji Yaoyang following behind them, Liu Chuxue didn't even bother with the things anymore: "Yangyang, do you still remember Auntie?"

Ji Yaoyang laughed happily: "I remember. Auntie, give candy."

Cousin Sister Xiao Wanxia, who had followed over, said with a face full of smiles: "This little fellow has a great memory. The photos that Wanpeng helped take on your wedding day have been developed. The moment this little fellow saw you in them, he waved his arms and legs, shouting 'Auntie, pretty Auntie, give candy to look at and eat.'"

Liu Chuxue pressed her forehead against the little fellow's: "So sweet."

The little fellow threw his head back and giggled even more.

Xiao Fu, who had just finished his business, also came over to greet them. When he saw the return-home gifts the Fu family had prepared, he was stunned for a moment: "Oh my, the thought is what counts, why have you prepared so many things?"

The eight kinds of gifts the Fu family had prepared were all in double portions. This lineup really could not be underestimated.

Actually, the eight kinds of gifts at home were originally meant to be just one set. It was Fu Yan Cheng who had given the money and tickets ahead of time, asking the family to prepare double portions.
