"Mom and Dad, we're back." Lu Aimei shouted from outside the courtyard gate.
"You're here, you're here."
Lu Aimei's aunt was busy in the kitchen with her daughter-in-law Zhang Cai, mainly prepping for the evening's meal. Today was special; her daughter and son-in-law were visiting, and more importantly, it was Xia Yuan's first time dining at her parents' house. Just yesterday, the couple had brought over many gifts, so dinner had to be exceptionally good.
Hearing her daughter's familiar voice, she called out in response and hurriedly came out.
Zhang Cai also came out to greet them with a smiling face.
By the time they reached the courtyard gate, Lu Aibing had already opened it ahead of them. Lu Aijiao's family of three had all arrived, while only the couple came from Lu Aimei's side.
After exchanging greetings, Lu Aimei's aunt asked her second daughter, "Why didn't you bring Dabao and Erbao?"
