After all, Aiyun's work , I no longer need their family’s arrangements, and I still go to work in a department store.”

When Wu Xiuying heard Wu Pinsheng's words, she felt very proud when she thought of Wu Aiguo's achievements so far. She said happily: "Second brother!

After all, we are marrying our daughter, not selling her."

When Wu Pinsheng heard the promise made by Wu Pingshan, he smiled and told Wu Aiyun who was sitting aside: "Aiyun! When you live in Kyoto City from now on, remember to come and visit your uncle and aunt more often."

When Wu Aiyun heard her father's instructions, she nodded immediately and replied: "Dad! Xiaojun's house is not far from my uncle's house. I will definitely come over to visit my uncle and aunt when I have free time on weekends."

When Wu Pingshan heard Wu Aiyun's words, he raised his wrist, looked at the time, smiled and said to Wu Pinsheng and his wife: "Pinsheng! Yue Fang! It's getting late, let's set off!"

In order to attend the dinner party in the evening, Chen Zhengming's family took the bus to Donghuamen Street at around four o'clock. Considering that Wu Pinsheng's eldest brother's house was over there in Tongluogu Lane, they simply stopped at the bus stop. Here we are waiting for the arrival of Wu Pinsheng's family.

Chen Zhengming saw Wu Pinsheng coming off the bus. When he heard Wu Pinsheng's words, he immediately greeted Wu Pinsheng with a smile and said, "In-laws! I guessed that you would get off the bus here, so I will wait for you here."
