Django Rest Serializers: Return data of related field

I created models which are Contracts and ContractItems. ContractItems table contains a foreign key attribute of Contracts table. I need to return Contracts with their relevant ContractItems.

I implemented a serializer like it. 

class ContractSerializer(ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = Contract
        fields = ('id', 'name')

I could not get ContractItems to relevant Contract.

Could anyone suggest any way to get Contracts with their relevant ContractItems? And also One Contract can have many ContractItems.

Maybe you try this too. You can get the related objects serialized too.

class ContractItemSerializer(ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = ContractItems
        exclude = ()
class ContractSerializer(ModelSerializer):
    contract_items  =  ContractItemSerializer(many=True, read_only=True)    
    class Meta:
        model = Contract
        fields = ('id', 'name')

Check this for reference: Example

class ContractItemSerializer(ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = ContractItems
        fields = '__all__'  

class ContractSerializer(ModelSerializer):

    contract_items  =  serializers.SerializerMethodField()
    class Meta:
        model = Contract
        fields = ('id', 'name')

    def get_contract_items(self, obj):
        qs = obj.related_name.all()
        return  ContractItemSerializer(qs, many=True).data
