Aunt Xia caught Xia Chuyi’s hand as soon as they t and looked her up and down a few tis before saying, "Oh my, Chuyi, have you not been eating well in Capital City? How co you’ve lost weight again?"
When eting elders, it really is always about the "losing weight" issue first.
Xia Chuyi, upon hearing this, imdiately laughed and said, "I haven’t lost weight."
But how could Aunt Xia believe that?
"How have you not lost weight?" Aunt Xia, shaking her head in disapproval, looked at her small face and said, "Look at this chin, it’s gotten so sharp!"
Sharp chin? Xia Chuyi choked a bit; that was just her baby fat coming off.
"It’s okay, this ti we ca back, we brought you lots of delicious food, I guarantee you’ll have enough to eat!" Aunt Xia pointed at Zhao Xiaogui and Xia Chengzong, who were carrying two large bundles, and said to Xia Chuyi.
"Aunt..." Looking at the two enormous bundles, Xia Chuyi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Having exchanged pleasantries, Uncle Xia ca over and said, "Chuyi, both your aunt and I know that you can buy anything in Capital City."
"But for specialty snacks, we still need to eat the ones we make ourselves; that’s what has the taste of ho." Uncle Xia chuckled and said, "So, don’t disdain what your aunt and I have prepared for you."
Seeing his niece, Uncle Xia was overjoyed, to say the least.
"Disdain?" Xia Chuyi, upon hearing this, quickly shook her head with a smile and said to Uncle Xia, "How could I disdain it?"
"Uncle, Aunt, thank you," said Xia Chuyi sincerely.
For her uncle and aunt, a thousand thanks were not enough.
Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia looked at each other upon hearing this and shook their heads simultaneously.
"This child, why are you being so polite again?" Aunt Xia said, shaking her head.
"Okay, I won’t be polite." Xia Chuyi laughed again at Aunt Xia’s words and said, "Let’s go ho first."
"Brother, Xiao Gui, let’s go!" Xia Chuyi called out to Xia Chengzong and Zhao Xiaogui.
The two bundles were genuinely heavy on their shoulders; they better hurry back.
"Mm." Xia Chengzu quickly responded upon hearing her.
Unlike the elders, in Xia Chengzong’s eyes, his sister seed particularly lively in her dress and appearance; she seed to be doing well in Beijing.
So aside from feeling joy for Chuyi, he had nothing else to say.
And Zhao Xiaogui? This kid didn’t even notice his sister talking to him.
He kept looking around, clearly very interested in every blade of grass and brick in Capital City.
Suddenly, Zhao Xiaogui took a deep breath and exclaid, "Wow, no wonder it’s Capital City, even the air is filled with the heart of the motherland’s scent!"
The rest of them: ...
Since Uncle, Aunt, her brother, and her brother, four people in total, ca to Capital City, Xia Chuyi had rented a temporary residence earlier for her uncle and aunt to stay in.
After getting everyone settled, they all gathered around the table and began to officially catch up.
Naturally, Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia asked how Xia Chuyi’s life and studies were going in Capital City, whether she was eating well.
Xia Chuyi calmly answered each question.
As a college student of this era, with fixed and liquid assets, she was naturally living well.
But as elders, as long as their children are not with them, they always feel like they’re not living well enough.
After Xia Chuyi’s repeated introductions of her life and studies, her uncle and aunt finally reluctantly believed her.
