Chapter 369
The next day, after eating dumplings on the road, Li Hui and his family set off on their way home again under the watch of Zhou Fei and his wife.

Since the official road from Pingyang County to Wanghe Village had been built before, the journey on this day was particularly smooth, except for the occasional cool breeze that blew into the car.Even though they all put on thicker jackets today, it was still very cold while riding in the car without moving.

"You have to ask Dexi and the others to close the car windows before going to the north, otherwise it will get colder as you go north." Cheng Xue suggested.

Li Hui nodded upon hearing this, wrapped her hand in his big palm, and fell into deep thought.

The fields along the way are full of old farmers rushing to harvest.If this is the case in Pingyang County, wouldn’t the weather get worse the further north you go?Knowing in advance is one thing, seeing it with your own eyes is another.

"Sister, the autumn harvest is very early this year. Do you think we can catch it when we get home?"

Li Yue listened to her sister's words, shook her head and said:
"Probably not. Uncle Zhong must have arranged everything for his family. He probably took back the rice and everything."

"Then let's go home and scavenge. I haven't been to the ground for a long time, and my arms feel stiff."

The voice she suggested was a bit loud, and Li Yue hurriedly made a gesture of silence.He was still holding the sleeping Li Huai in his arms. He thought he would get up early and go on the road without exercising. Who would have thought that his father did not relax at all, so that the little guy went out for a couple of runs to catch up on his sleep.

Cheng Xue's eyes were full of distress when she saw it, and she reminded softly:
"His father, Sidan is still young, so he can exercise but in moderation. For him, getting enough sleep and eating well are very important."

Li Hui came back to his senses after hearing the sound and nodded with a "hmm".

The reason for training children so strictly is because of punishment.The second is to let him endure some hardships so as not to adapt to the northern border.Now that we have decided to take office as a family, we should suffer the expected hardships first, so that we can feel more relaxed when we get there.

The carriage continued to move forward with a "squeaking...squeaking...". Lunch was served in the car. Li Huai, who had caught up on his sleep, was obviously energetic and kept chattering.

One moment he was looking forward to the meals he would get home, and the next moment he was talking about going to find his little cousin Yingjie.They play together when they are less than one year old. This is a proper bare-butted doll.

At Shen Shizheng, the carriage turned down the official road and entered the village, half an hour earlier than before.

"It's Uncle Zhong. Look, dad and mom, Uncle Zhong has come to pick us up." He shouted from the direction of the willow tree at the head of Lihuai Village.

Cheng Xue came over and took a look. Sure enough, Li Zhong and Tianma and his son were waiting there, but there was no one under the willow tree.

Dexi drove the car and stopped nearby. Li Zhong jumped on the car and said with a smile:

"Master, madam, it's been a hard journey."

"Uncle Zhong——"

Several children shouted in unison, making Li Zhong very happy.Although he was a servant and housekeeper, the children of the master's family all respected him, and he was particularly happy.

He took out a handful of spiced melon seeds from his pocket, gave them to them, and said:
"You must be hungry. I made chicken stewed with mushrooms for you. I used the second crop of hazelnut mushrooms, which are very fragrant. There is also braised fish with vermicelli. Do you want to eat this?"

"Think~!" Li Huai replied in a long voice and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Not to mention the children, even Cheng Xue and Li Hui couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they heard the names of these two dishes.

I really want Liaodong cuisine. Although I often eat it in Beijing, it just doesn’t taste right.

"How are you at home? Are you okay? I feel like it's quite cold today."

Li Zhong nodded, gathered his clothes and said:
"Replying to Madam, the weather has changed and it's getting cold these days, and the village is busy harvesting. Our rice has been collected, and the crops are being collected. Ma Kuo is reliable. He started working when he noticed something was wrong, and there was no delay at all. Everything at home Everything is fine, the old slave has been busy looking for people to build a house on the west side of the workshop since he came back from the capital. The people he recruited a while ago will be enough to manage Dongzicai in the county and town this year."

"How are Yu Zhao and the others doing? Yingjie's mother is about to give birth. Have uncle and aunt come to take care of her?" Cheng Xue asked.

"My uncle and his wife have all come over, as well as Mr. Yu Fang's family and cousin Yu Wan's aunt. The eldest cousin's wife is indeed about to give birth. The old slave and my wife have tried to persuade her several times, but they can't do it. This time, the old man and his wife are here. Persuasion will probably work..." As Li Zhong reported the situation at home, several carriages arrived home one after another.

The door had been opened long ago, and Yu Huai and his wife, Yu Zhao, and Yu Hao were all waiting at the door.

Before the car stopped, Mrs. Liu shouted into the car——

"You're back, are you hungry? Are you cold?"

"Uncle, I miss you so much."

Li Huai was a diligent talker. As he talked, he got out of the car, opened his little hands, and was hugged by Mrs. Liu.After not seeing each other for more than half a year, the child talked more, grew taller, and lost weight.

After looking at it carefully, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but nod.

"Okay, that's great. Snow Lady knows how to raise children. Look at how strong our four eggs are."

The little guy rubbed Mrs. Liu's shoulder happily, and Li Yue and others got out of the car and called people one after another.Yu Wan walked over and took the hands of the two nieces, asking them how they were doing.Li Hui and Cheng Xue were the last to get off the bus. They walked up to Yu Huai and his wife, knelt down and kowtowed together.

There is nothing I can do, my mother-in-law is older.

After being away for such a long time, it is the Liangyan custom to kowtow to the elders in the family and salute them when they come back. These two things are ready-made in front of me.

"Quick, quick, get up, you are an official now, how can you worship ordinary people like us."

Listening to Yu Huai's somewhat lively words, before Li Hui could speak, Yu Zhao hurriedly stepped forward to stop him——

"Look at what dad is talking about. He is too unreasonable. No matter what rank my brother is, he is still a nephew to you. A nephew can be worth half a son, so I should pay you a courtesy to my mother."

After spending such a long time in the forest farm, they have indeed grown up. Li Hui and Cheng Xue raised the corners of their mouths, and Yu Huai nodded and laughed.

"Okay, okay, you guys have the same idea, I'm an old fool. Get up quickly, the ground is very hard, you must be exhausted from the journey. Your aunt's homemade noodles, pickled cabbage and minced meat are your two favorites."

When Cheng Xue heard this, she couldn't help but nod.

"I just want to eat our Liaodong sauerkraut when I'm in the capital. My aunt loves us."

"Ah, your aunt is the only one who feels pain, doesn't your uncle feel pain?"

Looking at Yu Huai's deliberately provocative expression, Cheng Xue gave a heavy "hmm".

"Why do I feel so bad? You just said such foreign words!"

The half-joking words immediately relieved the embarrassment just now.Yu Huai looked at the two children who had not changed at all, and felt worried.Yu Fang and Yu Zhao came over with their wives in hand respectively, and everyone greeted each other.

Cheng Xue looked at Wang's belly and asked with concern:
"How's it going? Are you okay? Are you ready with everything?"

"That's enough. My sister-in-law brought us so many materials in the motorcade, enough for the children." Wang said while stroking her belly.

If this child is alive, he can come out while his uncle and aunt are at home, so that he can see them all.Otherwise, if we go to the north, even though we are close, we may not be able to see each other even in five years...
