Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

After buying the gifts, Du Xiaojuan and Wang Dashan's whole family headed straight for Wang Erhai's maternal grandparents' home.

There they met Wang Erhai, Zhang Yueran, as well as Wang Erhai's father-in-law Zhang Dehou and mother-in-law Ji Xiaolan.

Du Xiaojuan hurriedly smiled and presented the gifts.

One for Zhang Yueran, one for Zhang Dehou, one for Ji Xiaolan, and even Wang Erhai got one.

All were items of considerable value.

For Zhang Yueran and Ji Xiaolan, they were pure gold jewelry; for Zhang Dehou, precious cigarettes and liquor; for Wang Erhai, a famous-brand watch.

In short, everything was obviously valuable at a glance.

"Eldest Sister-in-law, you bought me a gift too!"

Seeing Du Xiaojuan give him a gift, Wang Erhai was all smiles.

Du Xiaojuan just smiled and said:

"Of course there is, your eldest sister-in-law never forgets any important person when giving gifts!"

Wang Dashan then said to Wang Erhai:

"Stop dawdling, hurry up and pack, we have to get back to Shanggou Village, can't let Yang Dashi wait too long!"

Wang Erhai laughed and said:

"Alright!"

At this moment Zhang Dehou and Ji Xiaolan came out, gave Wang Dujin a red envelope, saying they hadn't prepared anything much, just a red envelope as a return gift.

Wang Dashan politely declined.

Du Xiaojuan then said:

"You just accept it for our son, just now who was saying not to dawdle? Hurry up!"

Wang Dashan's face showed some embarrassment, but he still smiled and accepted it.

Zhang Yueran then said:

"Why don't I go back to Shanggou Village with you all?"

Wang Dashan hurriedly said:

"Sister-in-law, you're carrying the child, afraid it's inconvenient, better not go!"

But Zhang Yueran said:

"It's fine, rare for everyone to be together like this! My parents also said to go together, then we can all have a meal together!"

Wang Erhai then said:

"Then okay, let's all go together! This is even livelier than Spring Festival!"

Seeing this, Li Xiulan was also all smiles.

This really is even livelier than Spring Festival.

Du Xiaojuan came back, Zhang Yueran also came back.

Only pity Li Jianjia can never come back.

Otherwise three sons, three daughters-in-law, everyone gathered together, eating and chatting, what a wonderful scene that would be.

Thinking of this, Li Xiulan couldn't help but worry about her youngest son's major life event.

"Wonder how Xiao Hua is doing now?"

Li Xiulan suddenly sighed with emotion.

Wang Erhai hurriedly said:

"Mom, why worry about him, he's doing great now, let me tell you, he's become a leader, currently the Director of the Poverty Alleviation Office, work is super busy!"

Wang Dashan said coldly:

"Director of Poverty Alleviation Office, so what, still just earning a meager salary, if you ask me, developing in our hometown Shangang Town has no future at all! Truly wasting his Tsinghua University education!"

Du Xiaojuan retorted with a sentence:

"What do you know, your Third Brother this is dimensionality reduction strike okay, future is very bright! In just this long, he's been exceptionally promoted to Director of Poverty Alleviation Office, in a few years he'll definitely be Deputy Town Mayor, then Town Mayor, then go to the county as a leader, at minimum he'll become a real-power leader in the county town, if his official career goes smoothly, maybe even a city leader, even a provincial leader!"

Wang Dashan was astonished:

"For real or fake, don't you lie to me!"

Du Xiaojuan then said:

"Why would I lie to you, I heard grassroots resume is very important for officials, so your Third Brother doing grassroots poverty alleviation cadre work now is very good planning okay, you don't understand anything, don't make random evaluations!"

Wang Dashan was speechless for a moment.

But Li Xiulan was thinking of another matter:

"If Xiao Hua's work is too busy, does he not even have time to find a wife?"

Once Li Xiulan said this, the whole vehicle of people fell silent.

Because it was obvious, Wang Xiaohua definitely has no time to date.

Soon, everyone returned to the town.

At the town street entrance, they picked up Wang Xiaohua, then all went back together.

Because Wang Dashan's car was already full of people.

Wang Xiaohua sat in Wang Erhai's car.

"Second Sister-in-law, Uncle, Auntie, you all come back to Shanggou Village together too."

Wang Xiaohua saw Zhang Yueran and her parents, and a surprised smile appeared on his face.

Zhang Yueran, sitting in the passenger seat, smiled and said:

"Anyway, it's rare to have free time today, so let's go back together and look around. As for Shanggou Village, I won't say anything else, but the scenery is truly great!"

Then she hurriedly sat down from the passenger seat and went to sit in the back row:

"Xiao Hua, you sit here, I'll go to the back row and sit with my parents!"

Wang Xiaohua didn't decline anything, he only said:

"Okay, thank you, Second Sister-in-law!"

Wang Xiaohua got in the car, and after about twenty minutes of driving, everyone returned to Shanggou Village.

At the village entrance of Shanggou Village, they met Yang Jiu Master, who had come early.

Du Xiaojuan personally got out of the car to greet Yang Dashi, and along the way handed over the gift she had bought.

As for Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai and them, they drove into the village.

"Yang Dashi, this is a meeting gift for you, a small token of my heart, please don't dislike it!"

Yang Dashi saw that Du Xiaojuan actually gave him a meeting gift, and it looked quite valuable, so his mood immediately improved:

"This is too much trouble! How can I be so embarrassed?"

Du Xiaojuan said with a smile:

"Don't be polite, later I still need you to help my husband's family fix up the ancestral grave!"

Saying this, Du Xiaojuan suddenly said in a low voice:

"Additionally, I want Yang Dashi to give my husband a few words of advice."

Yang Dashi was stunned:

"Oh? You want me to give advice on what?"

Du Xiaojuan said:

"Yang Dashi, aren't you a fortune-telling master? Just cast a hexagram for him, to see if his fortune is better when he listens to his wife's words, or if his fortune is better when he marches to the beat of his own drum."

Yang Dashi heard these words and naturally understood immediately, so he said with a hearty laugh:

"Okay, okay, I know. I'll cast a hexagram for your husband later!"

Du Xiaojuan showed a passionate smile on her face:

"Then I'll trouble Yang Dashi. I'll take you into the village now, first to my husband's home to rest for a while, have a cup of tea, and then go into the mountain to see the grave!"

Du Xiaojuan took Yang Dashi into the village.

On the other side.

Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai and them drove their respective cars and had already returned to their home door.

Wang Xiaohua got out of the car, saw this home, and couldn't help but feel some emotion in his heart.

When he was doing poverty alleviation work at Changjiang Village Committee before, he passed by Shanggou Village several times but didn't return to this home to look.

Mainly because there was no one in this home, and coming back to look had no meaning.

Now that so many people are coming back together, it's relatively lively.

The home is still that home, it seems it hasn't changed at all.

But he also felt a bit of strangeness.

Most importantly, now the three brothers all went out to work, and this home that originally maintained the big family had already begun to gradually disintegrate.

That's how a home is; once everyone has their own small family, the original big family will gradually lose its original function.

Everyone is busy with their own things, at most they gather together once during the Spring Festival and holidays.

Sometimes, they might not even be able to gather together during the Spring Festival and holidays.

"Xiao Hua, you've lost so much weight, and you've also become so much darker!"

Li Xiulan got out of Wang Dashan's car and hurriedly went to care for Wang Xiaohua.

This was her youngest son, and also the son she was most worried about.

"Mom, I'm doing great, and every day is quite fulfilling now!"

Wang Xiaohua answered with a smile.

Li Xiulan still frowned, feeling heartbroken:

"You can't go on like this, you need to hurry up and find a daughter-in-law; work is not as important as a daughter-in-law!"
