Chapter 914: Did You Receive the Letter We Sent Earlier?

After finishing the meal, Guo Yan prepared to return to the room where the female educated youth stayed.

After all, the wedding is tomorrow, so naturally one cannot rest too late tonight if one wants to be a beautiful bride tomorrow.

Aunt Xiao took a box of Jing Bajian and a bag of mixed candies out of the package: "Yan'er, take these over and share them with your roommates, the educated youth. Consider it a token of our appreciation."

Guo Yan felt deeply moved; it seemed Xiao Wanli had inherited his mother's nature, being so considerate: "Thank you, Auntie."

Aunt Xiao did not mind her form of address, after all, the wedding banquet had not yet been held.

But Xiao Wanli spoke up: "Yan'er, we have already registered our marriage; you must call us Mom and Dad now."

Just then, Uncle Xiao gave his son a slap, scolding with a laugh: "What do you know? Don't meddle blindly here. Let Yan'er decide; it will still be time to change your address tomorrow."

Guo Yan felt a bit shy, accepted the Jing Bajian and candies: "Then I will return first; you two should rest early as well."

Having spoken, she glared at Xiao Wanli and hurried out of the room.

No sooner had she entered the room than those female educated youth surrounded her: "Yan'er, what are you carrying in your hand?"

Guo Yan's face was full of smiles: "My mother-in-law brought these Beijing specialties for us to share with you; it is a small token of their appreciation."

"Oh, your in-laws are truly thoughtful, bringing these all the way from so far away. Please thank them properly for us later."

"Our Yan'er is truly blessed; just looking at the packages Wanli's parents brought, one can tell how much his family values you."

Guo Yan offered no opinion, simply smiling as she opened the Jing Bajian and candies: "Come, come, everyone has helped me plenty before. Consider this a thank-you gift prepared by my mother-in-law. Please taste them quickly."

Having been in the countryside for so long, the family had initially sent money, tickets, and goods, but as time passed, most correspondence had dwindled to mere letters of greeting. These Jing Bajian looked high-end; how could anyone refuse such a culinary temptation?

After tasting them, they were all overjoyed: "Truly, these are pastries from a big city; the taste is excellent."

While the female educated youth here ate happily, laughter and playfulness occasionally filled the room, making the male educated youth across the way incredibly envious. Each pretended to be busy with their own affairs, yet all thought: Why hasn't that fellow Xiao Wanli returned yet?

And the Xiao Wanli they were thinking of was currently listening to his mother say: "Wanli, did you receive the letter we sent earlier?"

Xiao Wanli then remembered the letter received a few days ago: "Mom, this time we truly put the younger brother and his wife in a difficult position. Myself and Yan'er will remember this kindness; in the future, whenever we can be of use, we will certainly offer our full support."

"Yan'er's pregnancy simply cannot wait. Otherwise, as her older brother, I would not be so shameless. Also, before I made the call, I truly did not know the fourth brother was getting married; it was simply a coincidence that everything came together."

Aunt Xiao nodded: "Indeed, this matter is our family's fault toward your fourth sister-in-law. She is a good child; although it was difficult, she still agreed. Most of the items we brought today were borrowed from your fourth brother's wedding room. The reason we postponed their wedding date to the second half of next year is that we needed to accumulate coupons, plus your cousin is likely to marry around May Day, so there must be a gap of a hundred days between them; otherwise, we could not have delayed it so much."

Xiao Wanli then remembered his second uncle's matter: "By the way, how was my second uncle found?"

This sparked Uncle Xiao's enthusiasm, and he vividly recounted the entire story: "By the way, when we came, your second uncle asked us to bring red envelopes for you."

Speaking, he pushed the woman beside him: "Remember to give the red envelopes brought by their families to the daughter-in-law tomorrow."

Aunt Xiao's face was full of smiles: "Rest assured, I won't forget."
