Chapter 1072: Are You Born in the Year of the Dog?

"If it weren’t for the Xu Family, and your adoptive parents, we probably wouldn’t have today’s reunion!" Whenever Jiang Wanru thought about this, she felt genuine gratitude towards the Xu Family.

The Xu Family raised Nianhua to be so well-mannered and sensible. If it weren’t for genuine love, how could they have sent her to university?

"Mom." Xu Nianhua spread out her arms and hugged Jiang Wanru. The more time she spent with the Su Family, the more she felt she was becoming part of the family.

"Alright, hurry up and go see your second brother. Come back tonight, and I’ll make braised shrimp for you, how about it?" Jiang Wanru gently patted Xu Nianhua on the back. It’s good that Nianhua was slowly getting close to her.

She often thought, perhaps this is the bond between mother and daughter, even if they hadn’t recognized each other, they would still find each other endearing.

...

"Smells really good. What delicious treat did little sis bring me?" Xu Nian’an picked up on the aroma the moment she walked in.

Xu Nianhua carried the thermos flask and sniffed deliberately, but the flask was sealed tightly, so how could there be any smell?

Xu Nianhua chuckled and put the thermos flask on the table, saying, "Second brother, were you born in the Year of the Dog?"

"Chicken soup!"

Xu Nian’an put down his work and followed the scent over, saying, "Since when have you come back empty-handed? This chicken soup is really well-made, golden and tempting. The school’s food is truly awful!"

Xu Nian’an adeptly grabbed his bowl and poured another for Xu Nianhua, eating heartily and saying, "Little sis, yesterday Shuqin and Shuxue came over, inviting us to have lunch at our uncle and aunt’s place at noon. I agreed. Are you going too?"

"Oh, if you go, I’ll go." Xu Nianhua drank half a bowl of soup and started getting busy again as weekend was the best time for business at the shop.

Since she had come in, Xu Nianhua hadn’t had a moment’s rest due to the influx of customers. At noon, when she took a short break, Ban Lin took over the shift, and Xu Nian’an and Xu Nianhua headed to their uncle’s place with gifts.

Xu Nian’an and Xu Nianhua were accorded the highest hospitality at their uncle’s house. Aunt Cai Jianhong bought some good dishes to treat them, repeatedly calling them Nian’an and Nianhua, so affectionately.

The meal wasn’t ready yet, and Xu Nian’an and Ji Shuqin, along with Cai Shuxue, were already discussing business matters.

Around two in the afternoon, Xu Nian’an and Xu Nianhua took a stroll back to the shop. Passing by a phone booth, Xu Nian’an suddenly said, "Little sis, should we call home?"

"Yes, absolutely." Xu Nianhua was all for it, as usually they made calls separately.

Coincidentally, Ji Ying picked up the phone. Ji Ying took advantage of the weekend to visit the factory. Zhou He was about to give birth and she was home taking care of the kids and looking after Zhou He, thinking that perhaps on weekends, the siblings might call. Therefore, every weekend she brought Zhuangzhuang to the factory to play.

"Did you just come from your uncle’s house? How is everything there?" Ji Ying was overjoyed to hear her son’s voice, knowing they had just returned from their uncle’s, and asked about their recent happenings, adding, "You’re all in Ningbei, you’re family, see each other often, and help one another."

"Mom, I know." Xu Nian’an didn’t want to hear more of this nagging, saying, "Mom, let me have little sis talk to you."

"Mom, have you eaten yet? Are you and Dad well? Is sister-in-law about to give birth?" Xu Nianhua took over the phone, talking with a cheerful smile, missing the futuristic phones that allowed video calls anytime, anywhere.
