"Having dinner out, who knows how much it would cost?"
Better to have it at home. With so many people around, it would put some pressure on the other party, making them realize the Zhao Family is not so easy to provoke, and if they have any intentions of being fickle, they’d better weigh their options carefully."
Besides, it’s a chance to show them where we live."
So what if he’s a local?
So what if he comes from a good family background?
Our Zhao Family is not bad either; we don’t feel like we’re climbing up to their level."
Invite them over to our house.
Zhao Xinxin was not pretentious; she agreed without hesitation and even set the date, let’s get straight to the point, tomorrow.
"You should leave work early tomorrow."
And just like that, the matter was settled.
Mrs. Zhao went on to notify everyone else in the Courtyard House that they should also come back early tomorrow.
"Er Dan, you’re not staying at your godfather’s tomorrow, are you?"
Er Dan immediately shook his head, "I’ll come back early tomorrow to help."
What we need tomorrow is an imposing presence.
"Grandma, is little aunt’s boyfriend coming?"
Da Bao and Xiao Bao knew that Zhao Xinxin had a boyfriend.
But they hadn’t met him.
Seeing Grandma so serious all of a sudden, and even asking Brother Er Dan to come back early, it meant something was up.
"Yes, your little aunt is bringing her boyfriend home tomorrow, go to bed early."
Because Zhao Xinxin was bringing her boyfriend home, Grandma Fang went to the market early in the morning to buy groceries.
On the other side, Zhao Xinxin was somewhat distracted after she went to work.
"I’m stepping out for a bit, I’ll be back soon."
"Where are you going, Sister Zhao?"
Usually, Zhao Xinxin didn’t act all high and mighty at the shop and was approachable.
Zhao Xinxin went to the place where Wang Jianguo worked.
"I’m looking for Officer Wang..."
"He’s out on patrol and hasn’t returned yet."
Zhao Xinxin had no choice but to leave.
When it was nearly noon, Wang Jianguo came to the shop.
Upon seeing Wang Jianguo arrive, Zhao Xinxin quickly told him about the dinner at her home in the evening.
Was this a situation of meeting the parents?
"Okay, I will come and pick you up after I finish work."
"I will be leaving work early today."
They both agreed on this.
Wang Jianguo finished work early as well, and he bought quite a few things before picking up Zhao Xinxin from work.
"Grandma, it smells so good."
After being picked up, Da Bao and Xiao Bao weren’t watching TV, but were eating grapes and sniffing the savory aroma from the kitchen while keeping their eyes fixed on the front gate.
They wanted to see their little aunt’s boyfriend first thing.
Except for Chaoyang, who came back later, the others had left work early to return home.
"What are you loitering around here for?"
"Mom, why haven’t little aunt and her boyfriend arrived yet?"
"They should be here soon."
The doors were closed early today.
Waiting left and right, they finally saw people arriving.
"Little aunt, little aunt..."
Zhao Xinxin saw Da Bao and Xiao Bao coming toward her.
"Da Bao, Xiao Bao..."
Wang Jianguo also saw the two children and couldn’t help but notice; these kids had somewhat fair skin, not as dark as the other children he had seen.
He had always dropped people off at the doorstep, and now he was finally stepping inside.
One has to say, this Courtyard House is quite big.
Though it housed quite a few people.
Some he had met, others he hadn’t.
It was then that Zhao Xinxin began to introduce Wang Jianguo.
"This is my sister-in-law, this is my Third Brother, this is my second brother, this is Xiao Yun, this is Er Dan."
At that moment, Chaoyang also returned from the back.
Zhao Xinxin glanced at him and said, "This is Brother Fang, he’s my second and third brothers’ Brother."
