Reborn in 1979: I Raised a Fortune with Four Daughters

Chapter 233: Relationship Not Yet Officially Established

The kitchen has been cleaned and the tables and chairs are arranged neatly.

At this moment, Lin Fangfang smiled and brought out plates of fresh fruit and various snacks from the kitchen, placing them on the coffee table in the living room.

Seeing such a sumptuous meal, Li Bin couldn't help but smile and say:

"Auntie, you're too kind! If you keep feeding us like this, we might not even be able to walk later."

Yan Meili chimed in, "Yes, Auntie, you and Uncle are so hospitable. You've prepared so many delicious things that we don't want to leave."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fangfang burst into hearty laughter and responded warmly:

"In that case, you might as well stay here. We have plenty of rooms, you can all fit in."

"Wow, Auntie, do you still take in daughters? If so, I really want to be your daughter! It would be so wonderful to be your daughter."

Yan Meili said with a big smile, her big eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Hearing this, Lin Fangfang couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"Okay, if Meili is willing, then from now on I'll have another sweet little girl to rely on!"

After saying that, he gently patted Yan Meili's head.

At this moment, Li Bin, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but interject with a laugh:

"Auntie, don't listen to her nonsense. This girl calls everyone she meets 'godmother,' and her own mother is about to be driven crazy by her. She can't wait to send this naughty daughter away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of cheerful laughter erupted around him.

Just as everyone was laughing so hard they were doubled over, Cheng Hui suddenly spoke up and suggested:

"How about we go play some ball? I ate way too much today. If I don't get some exercise and digest it, my stomach will probably be full of food!"

"Hmm, that's a good idea!"

Chen Runping immediately agreed and continued,

"Let's go play ping pong then, it'll be a good opportunity to hone our skills."

"Okay, okay!"

The others chimed in, eager to try their hand at it.

So, while everyone was excitedly chatting about the fun they had playing ball, they started packing their things and preparing to leave.

"Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Aunt, I'm so sorry to bother you all today! Thank you so much for your hospitality! Look at how much we ate, we're so full, we're about to burst! Haha... Now everyone's stomachs are bulging, so we're going to play some ping-pong to get some exercise and digest."

Chen Runping walked up to Zhao Zhaodi's family with a big smile and said goodbye politely and warmly.

At the same time, other students also came forward one after another, vying to express their gratitude to their grandparents, uncles and aunts, and waving goodbye to them with reluctance.

After the excitement subsided, everyone hopped on their bicycles and sped off like arrows.

As the wheels rolled forward, the once noisy courtyard instantly became completely silent.

Lin Fangfang stood quietly at the gate of the courtyard, her gaze following the receding figures until the last bicycle disappeared from sight.

She slowly came to her senses, turned around and gently closed the courtyard gate, then walked lightly into the house.

As soon as they entered the room, Lin Fangfang eagerly moved closer to Zhao Yuan and asked in a low voice:

"Brother Yuan, do you think that young man named Chen Runping is dating Zhao Zhaodi?"

Zhao Yuan frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then replied:

"Hmm... to be honest, there's definitely something going on between them. But right now, they're just in the stage of mutual attraction; they haven't officially become a couple yet. I specifically talked to Zhao Di about this before, and she readily agreed, saying she was willing to listen to her family's opinion. So, I'm thinking of figuring out the situation first. If our family doesn't agree, we'll let them stop here to avoid any trouble later. By the way, Fangfang, what do you think of Chen Runping?"

After speaking, Zhao Yuan looked at Lin Fangfang expectantly, waiting for her to give her opinion.

Judging from what we've observed today, this child's personality is generally quite good.

He is a cheerful and generous person, and makes a very good first impression.

However, many things cannot be fully understood through a brief encounter alone.

After all, a person's true character and inner qualities can only be truly known through long-term interaction and understanding.

At this moment, Zhao Yuan took over the conversation and said:

"I did some research beforehand. As far as I know, the child's parents are both honest and hardworking people. The father is, needless to say, truly kind and simple; while the mother is a bit shrewish. Their family's economic situation is average, just an ordinary working-class family. As for the child himself, he is also honest and hardworking, nothing particularly outstanding, just average. But I heard he's quite ambitious and actually got into a military academy."

Hearing this, Lin Fangfang frowned again and said worriedly:

"It's just that this child's mother is a bit shrewish. I'm worried that if our Zhaodi really marries into that family, she might suffer some grievances and hardships in the future. But then again, it's a good thing that this child was able to get into military academy. If she becomes an officer in the future, that would be quite promising."

After hearing this, Zhao Yuan waved his hand and comforted him:

"Oh well, let her be! Children have their own destinies, and we can't force them. For a family like ours, it's actually quite good that Zhao Di can find a classmate she knows well. After all, the feelings between young people these days are relatively purer. Let Zhao Di choose according to her own heart, and we, as elders, shouldn't interfere too much. Alright, let's not talk about these troublesome things anymore. Come on, let's take the children out for a walk and clear their heads."

The next morning, the sun shone brightly and a gentle breeze blew.

Zhao Yuan got up early, got ready, and then set off for Shanghai with his daughter Zhao Zhaodi.

During this trip, Zhao Yuan plans to personally inspect each of his family's businesses in Shanghai.

The father and daughter chatted and laughed all the way, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

As the plane slowly landed at Shanghai Airport, the wheels made a slight sound as they rubbed against the runway.

Zhou Jie had been waiting for a long time. He drove his black sedan and quietly parked it near the arrival gate.

A short while later, Zhao Yuan and his daughter walked out of the waiting hall, and Zhou Jie hurriedly went to help them with their luggage.
