CHAPTER 818: CHAPTER 820: THIRD PRIZE

"On behalf of Second Sister, I thank you, Sis." Gu Mingcheng looked at the bracelet, knowing well that this jade bracelet was meant to be a family heirloom. Both he and Gu Mingzhu had one. His was intended for his future wife, and it was quite valuable. He looked up at Gu Mingzhu’s gentle eyes and finally believed what Gu Mingzhu had been saying these days.

After all, no matter what, Nianhua was still Mom’s biological daughter. Mom treated Mingzhu so well, and though Nianhua wasn’t raised by her side, there must be some feelings there. Mom wasn’t someone who favored sons over daughters. Maybe it was really a coincidence, but they found Second Sister after more than twenty years.

Gu Mingcheng carefully put the jade bracelet away. When he met Second Sister, he would definitely give it to her and tell her that their whole family welcomed her home.

Xu Nianhua received a congratulatory call from Pei Yining, knowing that she had won an award. She congratulated her, "Yining, congratulations, this award is a recognition of you. You’ll definitely become a great photographer one day!"

"Of course, I want to become a renowned photographer in the future. Anyone who wants me to take photos for them will have to queue up!" Pei Yining lay on the sofa, munching on watermelon as she happily imagined the future where people begged her to take photos, which amused her greatly.

"So, will I have to queue up in the future when I want the great photographer Pei to take photos for me?" Xu Nianhua teased her along with her words.

Pei Yining fell silent, seemingly thinking seriously.

"Oh dear, when I return to Ningbei, I’ll surely forget to bring back the crispy pork."

Pei Yining hurriedly said, "Considering you’re my sister-in-law, let’s skip the queue, okay?"

"Mm-hmm, I’m going to forget!" Xu Nianhua reminded her.

Pei Yining quickly coaxed her, "Nianhua, future sister-in-law, Sis, you’re my dear sister-in-law, you’re the best. You must bring fried crispy pork to eat!"

Although Aunt Jin followed Xu Nianhua’s recipe, there was always something missing in the flavor. Aunt Ji’s fried crispy pork was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and particularly delicious. Once she ate it, she fell in love with the taste.

Pei Yining, determined to eat the crispy pork, said many kind words as if they cost nothing. Pei Yining didn’t mind the long-distance call bill, but Xu Nianhua was worried about the cost of receiving the call. She quickly interrupted her, saying, "Okay, okay, I remember."

"Nianhua, you’re so good!" Pei Yining said happily. "By the way, I got some funds, though it’s only fifty bucks, which is a bit small. But it’s enough for the two of us to have a good meal. What do you want to eat?"

Xu Nianhua: "..."

After barely getting the prize money, she wasn’t going to save it? It has such commemorative significance.

She heard Pei Yining thinking hard about what to eat and interrupted, "Let’s talk about it when we meet. You should save it first. By the way, is your brother very busy lately? Tomorrow should be the day of the bidding at Tianhua Mall, right?"

"Yes, my brother has been staying at the architecture institute recently. I haven’t seen him in days." Speaking of Pei Yicheng, Pei Yining couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. Her brother was really working hard. Even though he was still a college student while others were on summer vacation, he had been busier than when he was in school since the vacation started.

"But don’t worry, when my brother has free time, he’ll definitely call you." Pei Yining reassured her, afraid that Xu Nianhua would overthink.

"It’s okay. No need to rush him to call me. Just remind him to eat on time." Xu Nianhua reminded, as Pei Yicheng had a slight stomach issue and needed to eat regularly to take care of it.
