It was almost the end of the year and Gu Jinfeng was finally back from overseas. Gu Qingyao personally went to the airport to meet him.

Gu Jinfeng was rather surprised to see that Gu Qingyao was the only one who had come to meet him.

“Surely, Younger Cousin, you’re not the only one who’s here to meet me?”

Gu Qingyao laughed. “Why, did you expect the entire family to come and meet you?”

Gu Jinfeng said rather pitifully, “I’ve been overseas for so long. I only came back once when you got married, and then left in a hurry. Now I’m finally back, and no one is here to meet me. They’re not taking me seriously at all!”

“Hahahaha!” Gu Qingyao burst out laughing and said smugly, “Fourth Cousin, you must understand that right now, I’m the most important person in the family. If I take you seriously, that means the entire family takes you seriously. Don’t you agree!”

Gu Jinfeng: “…”

​ “That seems logical!”

Gu Jinfeng got into the car, and Gu Qingyao brought him home.

Today was a working day, and Second Uncle and Second Aunt Gu were at work. Only Gu Chonghua and Wen Ruyu were at home when Gu Jinfeng arrived.

Wen Ruyu smiled happily when she saw that her grandson was back.

“You’re finally back. You’re not leaving any more, are you? You’ve been away for so long that if you didn’t come back, I wouldn’t remember what you look like!”

Gu Jinfeng: “…”

Her first few words had moved him. But why did the last few words make him sad?

“Grandma, you’re so biased. Yao Yao was overseas for even longer than me, but you didn’t forget what she looked like! You were at home, longing for her return. You prepared everything for her. What about me? Did you prepare a beautiful room for me too?”

Before Gu Qingyao came back, the Old Master and Old Madam had prepared the house for her. They prepared the best room for her and decorated it beautifully. Gu Jinfeng had seen it the last time he came home and he was consumed with envy!

The last time he came back was for Gu Qingyao’s wedding, and everyone’s attention was focused on Gu Qingyao. Gu Jinfeng felt that that was only right. But he thought that everyone would be very emotional when he came back this time, and that they would all be waiting for him!

But…

Wen Ruyu laughed and scolded him. “You’re a boy. Do you need me to prepare a room for you? You’re already all grown up!”

Gu Jinfeng: “…”

Gu Qingyao had gone to the kitchen to help, but when she saw Gu Jinfeng’s forlorn expression, she said helplessly, “Fourth Cousin, go and rest. I’ll cook for you!”

Gu Jinfeng’s eyes lit up. After being overseas for so long, what he missed the most was home food!

Especially his younger cousin’s cooking.

“Great, great! Yao Yao, you have no idea. After you went back to China, I had no more taste of home. I missed it so desperately. I’ll go and have a nap. Call me when it’s time to eat!”

There was a time difference between local time and overseas time. Gu Jinfeng hurried off to rest.

Dinner was ready just as everyone returned home for work. Mo Beihan came for a meal as well, but Oldest Uncle’s family did not come.

Gu Jinfeng had returned a few months earlier, so nobody found it very special.

But Oldest Cousin, Gu Jinye, came over after work.

Gu Jinfeng was so touched when he saw the table laden with food that he almost cried.

Fish with pickles, spicy poached pork slices, braised fish, beef with soy sauce, braised pork ribs, roast duck, roast chicken, hairy crabs…

There were many men in the Gu family, and they preferred heavily-seasoned food. Only the two old folks ate plainer food.

Little Six and Little Nine knew there would be good food today, so they came with their older brother.. When everyone arrived, they all sat down together and ate happily!
