Du Heng and Wang Shuqiu didn't bring many gifts, but Du Heng's elder brother and sister-in-law brought a whole cartful.
Seeing the large and small packages being carried into the house, Wang Shuqiu's mother's smile became even more sincere. She called her husband and son to join the moving team.
"Xiao Qiu's mom, are relatives visiting?" The next-door neighbor, a woman holding a hoe, stood by the car and chatted with Wang Shuqiu's mother with a laugh.
Wang Shuqiu's mother's smile faded a little, and her posture straightened up as she spoke more reservedly, "Not relatives, but Xiao Qiu brought friends."
The granny sunbathing at the neighboring door also chimed in, "Xiao Qiu brought her boyfriend home?"
"Yeah, the kids wanted to meet the elders and get to know the family."
The neighbor holding the hoe eyed the large and small packages and the brand-new, impressive car. Her eyes widened. "What does your son-in-law do? He seems pretty wealthy."
