But even the simplest clothes looked incredibly attractive on Ruan Jiaojiao, who with her fine features and pale skin, exuded a natural beauty.

The Ruanlin Family didn’t pack many clothes for Ruan Jiaojiao, just a set for changing, because Shu Lang’s father had already prepared plenty of clothes for her—complete outfits that had been washed and were ready to wear—so there was no need to take many clothes along.

This was Ruan Jianguo’s first trip to Beidu, and his first visit to his father-in-law’s house. He got up early in the morning and packed with an energy as if he had been injected with chicken blood; apart from his change of clothes, all the luggage was filled with local specialties. They had smoked fish, smoked duck, and smoked chicken weighing over a hundred pounds, and together with other items, they totaled at least two hundred pounds.

Luckily, they had a truck at home, otherwise, it really would have been difficult to bring everything.

Ruan Jiaojiao was sitting at the dining table in the central hall eating breakfast, outwardly instructing Meat Meat to behave and stay at home, not to run around aimlessly, while also watching the adults busily preparing. In truth, her mind had long since flown to Beidu.

She used to be afraid of Beidu, afraid of Feng Nianian.

But now all she could think about was meeting her grandfather, seeing her big brother!

Shu Wen had joined the workforce and was busy over the past two years; she only had enough time to visit grandfather in Beidu and didn’t find the time to see Ruan Jiaojiao. It’s been almost two years since the last time Ruan Jiaojiao saw her, although she did receive gifts every month without fail.

Shu Lang was even busier than Shu Wen, a true workaholic. Except for the year he spent New Year’s with the Ruan Family, he had been out on his own for two years.

Hearing that the entire Ruan Family was going to Beidu this year, he requested leave well in advance. Shu Jiao mentioned that he might arrive in Beidu a day later than the rest of them.

Anyway, this year it was going to be another grand reunion, and Ruan Jiaojiao was particularly looking forward to it.

By the time Ruan Jiaojiao finished breakfast, the little truck was already loaded up. Ruan Jianguo drove first to Changling Railway Station, and then a master from the store in Lin City and the truck driver would drive back together.

Ruan Jianguo’s vehicle was basically designed for four people, but since Ruan Jiaojiao was young and the regulations not that strict, she sat with Shu Jiao in the front passenger seat.

Luckily, Shu Jiao was slender, and the mother and daughter fit together without crowding.

Ruan Jianguo, seated in the driver’s seat, looked at the mother and daughter beside him. Since getting in the car, he’d been talking non-stop, filled with excitement—going from one topic to another. Even if the other passengers didn’t engage with him much, he kept the conversation lively.

But everyone in the Ruan Family knew that Ruan Jianguo was nervous.

The more nervous he was, the more he talked, his mouth firing away like a machine gun without pause.

Ruan Jiaojiao looked at Ruan Jianguo, who was so nervous, and thought of the time two years ago when they met Shu Lang’s grandfather, and she couldn’t help but smile.

Ruan Jianguo kept his eyes on the road, but when he heard her, he turned his head and asked, "What’s making my darling laugh? Did Daddy say something wrong?"

Ruan Jiaojiao shifted in Shu Jiao’s arms to find a more comfortable position, and then said, "Dad, you don’t need to be nervous, Jiaojiao will help you."

"Nonsense, when am I ever nervous? I’m just happy, you know," Ruan Jianguo, who was proud, refused to admit it.

"Oh, so Dad doesn’t need any help then? You should know that grandpa likes Jiaojiao the best and listens to what Jiaojiao says the most," Ruan Jiaojiao said with a smile and a teasing glint in her eyes.

"Ha, well, since my darling says so, remember to speak a few good words for Daddy, alright?" It seemed that pride was not something of tremendous importance to Ruan Jianguo; he could turn it around on the spot.
