When Chen Dabao mentioned Jinbao, he remembered that the golden swallow he had been waiting for for a long time had not yet appeared. He pulled Chen Afu's clothes and said anxiously, "Mom, why hasn't Jinbao come home yet? I saw many wild geese and swallows flying north, why hasn't he come to find us? Has he forgotten the way home?"

Chu Hanyan had also been looking forward to Jin Yanzi. After hearing what Dabao said, she pursed her lips and seemed to be about to cry.

Chen Ahfu smiled and said, "What a coincidence, we met Jinbao on the road, and it stayed with us for two days. It just missed the forest so much that it flew to the forest to play first. Maybe it will come back in the evening."

Dabao jumped for joy at first, then pouted and said, "Jinbao should miss me and my sister more. We missed him so much that we couldn't sleep or eat, but he ran away to the woods first."

Miss Chu didn't think so much. When she heard that Jinbao could find the way home, she smiled with her eyes curved.

Children are always the friendliest to each other. After Li Xuan got familiar with the two older brothers and sisters, he also smiled at them.

For Li Xuan's safety, he could not be called the emperor's grandson. He could only be called the son of Chu Lingxuan's friend. Because of some special circumstances, Lai Tangyuan was raised by Chen Afu for a period of time. Therefore, Li Xuan was temporarily asked to call Chu Lingxuan uncle and Chen Afu aunt, instead of calling them brother and sister-in-law according to Princess Zhaorong's seniority. This was discussed in the capital. Of course, he dared not let him call Dabao uncle.

Chen Ahfu put Li Xuan on the bed and let the two children play with him. She took out the gifts for the two children and the animal house, and also bought gifts for Mr. Liao and some respectable servants of Manager Luo. This time, she didn't dare to leave out Qiqi and Huihui, and bought a special silver anklet for them and put it on them personally.

The two little guys were very happy. Qiqi imitated Chen Ye's voice and said, "Well, big brother accepts your kindness."

Huihui imitated Hu's voice and said, "Oh, it's just so-so." It was not as smart as Qiqi, so it didn't quite understand the meaning of some of the words and thought it was praising Chen Afu.

Chen Afu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Whenever Chen Mingjia sent something to the eldest wife, Chen Ye and Hu loved to say these two sentences. Even they had learned them.

In Lu Garden, Wang pulled Wang Cheng to sit on the kang, crying as they told each other some of their experiences. Chen Ming felt that it was about time, so he smiled and said, "Juan Niang, it's time to let Chengzi and the others go check out where to live. They have come such a long way, so they need to wash up."

After hearing this, Wang stood up and took Wang Cheng to the east wing. She said, "You and your family will live here from now on..." She then noticed that Wu was not walking very well and needed Mrs. Tan to help her when she stepped over the threshold. She then asked, "Is your sister-in-law not feeling well?"

Wang Cheng said, "I got sick during the confinement period."

Wang quickly went to support Wu and said, "Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier? You can't get tired with this disease. Come on, sit on the bed, I'll have someone make you a bowl of ginseng soup."

Wu was so moved that tears came out when she saw the anxiety and distress in Wang's eyes. She had so many close relatives in her family, but not one of them showed any love for her.

Wang asked Wang Cheng and his family to wash up in the east wing, and she went to the kitchen to ask Aunt Mu to make ginseng soup.

Mrs. Wu was tired, so she washed up and went to bed to rest. Wang Cheng took the two children to the upper room.

Wang Xiaodi and Wang Xiaomei just noticed that there were three big dogs and two small dogs lying on the straw mat under the eaves of the west wing. Children all like animals, but they didn't dare to go over because the three big dogs were very tall and fierce.

A Lu smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, as long as you don't touch their babies, they won't be mean to you." Then he took his younger brother and sister to stand aside and watch them.

Zhuifeng and Sasa immediately became alert. They would not allow anyone to get close to their baby except their family members. But when they saw that the two people had no intention of touching the baby, they lay down leisurely again. Caiwang was lying away from the family of four and taking a nap.

It was already dark, with the sky dotted with stars. The food was ready, but Chen Ming still didn't ask anyone to serve it. They wanted to wait for his son-in-law and his family.

Chu Lingxuan and Chen Afu came with their three children, two parrots, and a cart of gifts. As soon as they entered Lu Garden, Zhuifeng and Sasa ran towards Chen Afu, each holding a puppy in their mouths.

Chen Ahfu squatted down and took the two puppies from their mouths. The little fellows were born only ten days ago, their eyes were not yet open, and they inherited the advantages of their parents, white fur and gray ears. Looking more closely, one of them had a longer nose and the other had a shorter nose. They crawled in Chen Ahfu's arms and hummed softly.

Chen Afu said happily, "Oh my god, these are two beautiful babies. I have never seen such lovely puppies."

Zhuifeng howled with joy and wanted to pounce on his master, but was afraid of dropping the baby on the ground, so he had to lick his master's clothes with his long tongue. Sasa's eyes were sparkling, and he looked at Chen Afu without blinking.

Chen Ahfu smiled at it and said, "Sasa is really capable. She gave birth to two such lovely children."

After chatting with the family for a while and giving Wangcai the braised pork bones he had brought for him, Chen Afu went into the upper room.

Chu Lingxuan, Chen Afu, Chen Dabao and Chu Hanyan knelt down and kowtowed to Chen Ming and Wang. Chu Lingxuan had already changed his words, and Chu Hanyan started calling Chen Ming and Wang "Grandpa" and "Grandma" today.

Chen Ming and Wang happily gave each of them a red envelope.

The food was already on the table. Originally, Chu Lingxuan, Chen Ming, Wang Cheng and other men sat at one table, and the women and children sat at another table. But today was a special occasion, so Wang was also invited to the main table.

Mrs. Wu was still resting. At the other table, only one adult, Chen Afu, was eating with a group of children. Li Xuan was being held and fed by Nanny Wei.

Wang pointed to a plate of pickled vegetables fried with oil residue and said, "Chengzi, this was your favorite dish when you were a child. I cooked this specially for you."

Wang Cheng took a bite and nodded, "Yes, this is the taste. I have been thinking about it for many years. Later, my mother also cooked it, but it was not as delicious as this."

Wang smiled and said, "Eat more if you like it." Then she kept putting food into his bowl.

After Wang Cheng's bowl was full, Wang noticed Chu Lingxuan and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry to make my son-in-law laugh. When I saw Chengzi, I didn't care about anything else."

Chu Lingxuan smiled and said, "No, mother-in-law, you are too polite."

Wang Cheng had just been immersed in the joy of reuniting with his sister, but Chu Lingxuan's words woke him up. He had been in the military camp for nearly twenty years, and even a ninth-rank official would order him around. If he displeased his superior, he would be kicked in the back. And such a high-ranking official sitting next to him for dinner, even if he was his niece's husband, made him tremble with fear.

He got scared and his hands started shaking again.

Chu Lingxuan was helpless and said in a coaxing voice to Chu Hanyan, "Don't be afraid, uncle. At home, we are relatives, and you are still my elder. If you do this, Ah Fu will be angry with me when you go home."

After saying that, he smiled and raised his glass to toast Wang Cheng and Chen Ming.
