Chapter 773: Reunion

After the annual meeting of the Imperial Group, it was already Chinese New Year’s eve. One more day, and it would be the new year.
After Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu had dealt with some matters, the two of them returned to the Peach Blossom Village.
Xiao Lingye returned two days before them. His company was much smaller than Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu’s, but there were also many things to do in a small company, especially when they had recently received a big order.
He and his friends worked through the night for a few days and finally managed to finish more than half of the order. New Year was coming, so they decided to finish the other half after New Year.
Xiao Lingye wanted to get together with his family as soon as possible. After all, ever since he went to university, the time he spent with his family was extremely short. Hence, whenever he had the time, he wanted to cherish it. He did not wait for his sister and brother-in-law to go back together.
When Xiao Lingye returned, Gong Tianhao also used a helicopter to send him back. Initially, a few others students were supposed to come back to Xing Yin County with him, but Xiao Lingye got too busy. His friends didn’t wait for him and returned first. It was a shame because if they had waited, they would have known Xiao Lingye’s background.
Hearing the sound of the helicopter, the Xiao family immediately knew that Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu had returned.
“Mommy, Daddy, you’re back!” The plane had just stopped when Xiao Letong rushed over and hugged Xiao Lingyu’s calf. Xiao Ling followed beside him.
Xiao Lingyu bent down and carried Xiao Letong up. Then, she weighed him and asked suspiciously, “Son, why do I feel that you’ve gotten heavier? Did you eat more?”
Gong Tianhao held Xiao Ling in his arms and pinched his little face. He smiled and said, “Ling ‘Er is still very obedient.”
Xiao Letong immediately defended himself, “Mommy, look at me. Didn’t you notice that I’ve grown taller? Isn’t it normal for me to grow taller and heavier?”
Xiao Lingyu, “…” Her son was becoming more and more eloquent. They couldn’t refute him! It was normal for children to grow taller and heavier.
Xiao Lingyu held her son in her arms. She was still suspicious. Her son had grown too much. He was three, but he looked like he was six.
Then, Xiao Lingyu comforted herself and thought to herself, ‘Maybe it has to do with the spring water. Hopefully, he won’t grow into a giant.’
When they heard that Xiao Lingyu and Gong Tianhao had returned, a few children from the Xiao family ran over to welcome them. Some of the children from the village also ran over.
“Auntie!” Rourou and Lulu were already eight or nine years old. They were very cute and pretty. The two sisters looked like Xiao Lingyun.
Xiao Lingyu put down his son and gently stroked their soft hair. She smiled and said, “Rourou and Lulu have grown taller again. They have become even more beautiful too!”
The two girls were very happy to hear that. They were also very sweet. They smiled and said, “Auntie, you are also becoming more and more beautiful. And uncle, you are becoming more and more handsome. You are becoming more and more compatible with our Auntie.”
Everyone liked to hear praises. However, Gong Tianhao was used to being fawned on. He had heard so many praises in his life. But, he was very happy to hear the praises from the two girls. He smiled and said, “You two girls are so sweet!”
Rourou’s eyes flashed with a bright light as she smiled and said, “Uncle, give us a big new year’s gift, and we’ll be even sweeter.”
Gong Tianhao was stunned for a moment before he laughed out loud, “Haha, good! Then uncle will definitely give you two sisters a big red packet.”
Xiao Letong did not want to be outdone and said loudly, “And me, and me, I want a big red packet too!”
Xiao Ling didn’t say anything, but his big round eyes were shining as he looked at Gong Tianhao.
Gong Tianhao said in a good mood, “Good, good, everyone will have a big red packet!”
At this moment, Grandpa Xiao and Old Master Gong walked over and looked at the children. They smiled and said, “The new year hasn’t even arrived yet, and you kids are already thinking of a big red packet?”
Rourou smiled and said, “Great-grandfather, New Year’s Eve is tomorrow. It’s not too early for us to think about this.”
Old Master Gong smiled and said, “Then I’ll give each of you a big red packet too!” In the past, he would also give out red packets during the new year. He would give red packets to his second brother’s family, but they were never satisfied with the amount.
“Thank you, great-grandfather!” Rourou, Lulu, and the other children replied happily.
As they spoke, they returned to the Xiao family.
Xiao Lingyu was already married to Gong Tianhao, and so according to tradition, they should spend the New Year in Beijing. However, the Gong and Xiao Families were very close. Furthermore, Old Master Gong was happier to be with the Xiao Family. He liked spending time with them. As for other people’s gossip, they didn’t care. What did this have to do with others anyway?
“Yu ‘Er, Tianhao, you’re back!”
“Sis, brother-in-law!”
As soon as they returned to the Xiao family, everyone’s happy voices could be heard. However, since it was almost New year, everyone was busy.
Xiao Xiaohui ran over and said, “Sis, your timing is perfect. It’s almost time to eat.”
Xiao Lingshuo also walked over and said, “Auntie said that you guys would be back today. The whole family is finally gathered at one spot, so we’ve been preparing for the meal since morning.”
Gong Tianhao looked at Xiao Lingshuo and looked at Xiao Lingyu with a slightly puzzled expression. He said with some hesitation, “Is… this Shuo ‘Er?”
“Brother-in-law, it’s me!” Xiao Lingshuo said with a smile.
Gong Tianhao said with a smile, “People say that women change a lot after they are 18. But men will transform too. Shuo ‘Er has grown into a handsome young man.”
Xiao Lingshuo’s face turned slightly red. He said with a smile, “I’m almost eighteen years old. I haven’t changed that much.”
Gong Tianhao suddenly thought of something and said, “Shuo ‘Er, are you going to take the college entrance examination soon?”
Xiao Lingshuo nodded and said, “Yes, the college entrance examination will be held in the first half of next year.”
Xiao Xiaohui immediately said from the side, “Brother-in-law, fourth brother’s results are very good, just as good as third brother’s.”
When Gong Tianhao heard this, he was very happy. He said, “Oh, then there won’t be any problems getting into a first-class university.”
“There definitely won’t be any problems,” Xiao Xiaohui answered for him.
Gong Tianhao nodded and asked, “Then, do you have a favorite or ideal university?”
Xiao Lingshuo said, “I want to get into Imperial university like Big Brother!”
Imperial University was the best university in the entire country. With his results, he definitely wanted to get into the best university.
Gong Tianhao suddenly asked, “Shuo ‘Er, do you want to study abroad?”
As soon as Gong Tianhao said that, even Xiao Lingyu was a little surprised.
Xiao Lingshuo was stunned. “Study abroad?” He had never thought of studying abroad.
Gong Tianhao nodded and replied, “Yes!”
Xiao Lingshuo reacted and asked in disbelief, “Is that even possible?”
Gong Tianhao said seriously, “If your grades are as good as Ye ‘Er’s, there’s no problem for you to study abroad.”
Xiao Lingyu said at this moment, “Shuo ‘Er, I also think this is not a bad idea.”
In the past, their finances were limited, so she and Ye ‘Er chose a domestic university. However, things were different now. Now that Xiao Lingshuo had the qualifications to study abroad, they would offer him the chance.
When Xiao Lingshuo heard that he could study abroad, his mind wavered, but he still didn’t feel very confident. He asked again, “Sis, brother-in-law, can I really study abroad?”
Gong Tianhao thought for a moment and asked, “If you can study abroad, which school do you want to go to?”
“HF University!” Xiao Lingshuo said without thinking. HF university was the best university in the world.
Gong Tianhao nodded, “Alright, with your current results, there shouldn’t be any problems with your college entrance examination results. Then you should study English well and pass the TOEFL. Leave the rest to me. I will hire a teacher for you to carry out intensive classes.”
Actually, both Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu were very rich. If they wanted Xiao Lingshuo to go to HF, they only needed to donate a sum of money.
However, Gong Tianhao still wanted Xiao Lingshuo to use his real talents and get into HF on his own.
“Thank you, brother-in-law!” Xiao Lingshuo did not refuse. If there were a chance to go to HF university, he would definitely not refuse. Then, Xiao Lingshuo said, “I’ll go and tell my parents now.”
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “Indeed, we should tell third uncle and third aunt. We should discuss it with the whole family. Go!”
After Xiao Lingshuo left, Xiao Lingyu noticed that Xiao Xiaohui’s expression was a little downcast.
“Xiaohui, what’s wrong?” Xiao Lingyu asked in confusion.
Xiao Xiaohui said, “Sis, all of you went to university. Fourth Brother might go to university abroad. I… I… My results are so bad. I might not even get into high school, much less a good university.”
Speaking of this, Xiao Lingyu was a little speechless.
The children of the Xiao family all studied very well. Xiao Lingyu, Xiao Lingye, Xiao Lingshuo, and even Xiao Lingyun’s daughters were doing exceptionally well in their studies.
However, Xiao Xiaohui was an exception.
Xiao Xiaohui’s IQ was not lower than any of them, and he was very smart. However, his intelligence was not focused on his studies. He was too active, and he only wanted to play all day long.
Just as Xiao Lingyu was thinking about whether she should console Xiao Xiaohui’s broken heart, Xiao Xiaohui raised his head and asked seriously, “Sis, is it my name? Does it not sound like a member of the Xiao Family?”
“Huh?” Xiao Lingyu did not know how to react.
Xiao Xiaohui lowered his head and said while counting his fingers, “Sis, think about it. Your name is Xiao Lingyu, second sister is Xiao Lingyun, third brother is Xiao Lingye, and fourth brother is Xiao Lingshuo. Why am I called Xiao Xiaohui and not Xiao Linghui? Perhaps the word Ling is important.”
Xiao Lingyu, “…” She did not know how to answer.
Xiao Xiaohui thought for a moment and said, “Sis, do you think that if I change my name to Xiao Linghui, will I become a straight-a student like the rest of you?”
Xiao Lingyu was a little speechless and wanted to roll her eyes. ‘What does that have to do with anything?’
Xiao Lingyu did not explain anything. She only asked, “Xiaohui, do you want to change your name?”
Xiao Xiaohui thought for a moment and said, “Yes. We have a big family, but only my name is different. I want to change my name!”
Xiao Lingyu was silent for a moment before she said, “Xiaohui, after you change your name,will you study hard?”
Xiao Xiaohui immediately replied, “Yes, I definitely will!”
Xiao Lingyu sighed and said, “Alright, go and tell your parents. See if they agree or not.”
Xiao Xiaohui immediately said happily, “Thank you, Big Sis!”
Xiao Lingyu laughed and said, “Alright, we don’t know if your parents will agree or not. Don’t get too excited just yet.”
Xiao Xiaohui immediately said, “Sis, with your help, this matter will definitely succeed.”
After Xiao Xiaohui left, Gong Tianhao asked curiously, “Actually, why isn’t Xiaohui’s name Linghui?”
Xiao Lingyu said, “When Xiaohui was born, Grandpa got a master to calculate his life chart. It was all because of Feng Shui.”
Gong Tianhao understood, “If that’s the case, would his parents agree to the name change?” People in the villager really believe in Feng Shui. It was unclear if fourth uncle and fourth aunt would be willing to change Xiaohui’s name.
Xiao Lingyu shrugged and said with a smile, “What era is it now? My fourth uncle and fourth aunt probably don’t believe in that anymore. I’ll try to talk to them. But the biggest issue should be Grandpa. He was the one who hired the master. And he still believes a lot of the older superstitions.”
Gong Tianhao, “…”
“Yu ‘Er, Tianhao, what are you two still standing there for? The food is ready. Come and eat.” Fourth Aunt Xiao came out of the kitchen with a plate of dishes. When she saw the young couple standing in the courtyard, she called out.
“Coming, fourth aunt!” Xiao Lingyu and Gong Tianhao walked into the house.
With the whole family gathered together, there needed to be more than one table. Therefore, there were two tables in the living room, and dishes were already served on the tables.
The elders sat at one table, and the juniors sat at the other!
Xiao Letong and Xiao Ling were already sitting in their seats obediently. In front of the two of them, there were their own bowls and chopsticks.
Xiao Letong looked at Xiao Lingyu, who had just entered the room. He raised his head and said with a smile, “Mommy, our family is finally reunited today!”
Xiao Lingyu was stunned for a moment before she said with a slightly moved expression, “That’s right, everyone is finally reunited today!”
