"Your Uncle Zhou just finished his mission and only has two days to rest."

He didn't know we had moved to Jinan. He went to Yujia Village first, and then came here from Yujia Village.

He was exhausted from traveling. He wanted to pick you up, but I told him to take a hot shower and rest for a while first.

"Let him pick you up after school this afternoon." Yu Yang grinned from ear to ear. "He needs to get some rest."

"It's not too late to pick me up after you've rested. I miss him so much. Is he alright?"

Chen Hong: I think it's alright! He was pretty strong when he hugged her!

"You look great, you haven't lost weight! You probably aren't injured either!"

"That's good. It must be very dangerous for soldiers to be on missions!"

Chen Hong felt a little embarrassed; she hadn't put as much effort into the I Ching as Yu Yang.

Yu Yang truly likes and admires him!

Chen Hong led Yu Yang into a large supermarket halfway through the journey, heading straight for the men's products store. They quickly went in and out, grabbing pajamas, underwear, and slippers suitable for Zhou Yi.

After quickly paying the bill, I drove home with my child.

As soon as she entered the house, Chen Hong put the things she bought for Zhou Yi on the sofa, moved the groceries she brought home into the kitchen, and put the items in the cabinets and refrigerator as appropriate.

She washed her hands and started cooking. She had already cooked the rice in the morning, but worried that it wouldn't be enough, she also heated up six sesame seed cakes in the microwave.

The gas stove has two burners lit at the same time, with crabs and lobsters steaming on one burner.

She stir-fried some bok choy on a stove, and also used the electric pressure cooker. She heated up the braised lamb chops she had stored in her space and ladled them into a porcelain bowl.

After stir-frying the bok choy, she also cooked chrysanthemum greens with minced garlic.

I also made a cold salad with dried shrimp and cucumber, and sliced ​​a plate of braised beef. Finally, I made a seaweed and egg drop soup.

Yu Yang knew Zhou Yi was sleeping, so he obediently sat in the living room watching TV, but turned the volume down to the lowest setting.

After seeing that Mom had finished cooking, I quickly put down the remote control and helped her serve the dishes and set the table.

The food was served. Chen Hong took off her apron and wiped her hands. "Yu Yang, you eat first. I'll go call your Uncle Zhou to get up and eat!"

Yu Yang sat upright at the dining table and shook his head, "I'll wait for Uncle Zhou to come with me!"

Chen Hong smiled and went into the master bedroom to call Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi was sleeping soundly on his side, facing outwards, his brows relaxed and snoring softly.

Looking at his sleeping posture, Chen Hong noticed that he resembled Yu Yang by about 80%, and couldn't help but wonder if they were destined to be father and son.

As soon as the thought crossed their minds, they couldn't help but laugh and shake their heads. What kind of fate was that? They had never known each other in their past lives and had no connection whatsoever.

If she hadn't been reborn in this life and gained a spatial ability, her life wouldn't have undergone such a dramatic change, and she wouldn't have gone to Beijing and met Zhou Yi.

It wouldn't attract his attention, but he broke into her room during a critical moment in Shanghai and became interested in her.

He would never secretly investigate her, try to understand her, or pursue her behind her back.

"Zhou Yi, get up! Yu Yang is waiting for you to eat! You must be hungry. Eat first, then take a good nap this afternoon."

Chen Hong bent down and whispered in Zhou Yi's ear.

Zhou Yi opened his eyes, stretched out his arm, hugged Chen Hong's neck, and sat up by supporting himself on the bed with his other hand. He gently kissed Chen Hong's face.

"Has Yu Yang finished school?"

"Yes, dinner is ready. The kids are waiting for you to eat!"

"I'll go wash up right away. You two eat first. Doesn't the child have school this afternoon? I'll just wash my face and come right away!"

"I told him to eat first, but he wouldn't listen and insisted on waiting for you! I don't know how you bribed him. Hurry up!"

Chen Hong rolled her eyes at him, somewhat indignant. The father and son hadn't spent nearly as much time together as she had.

I really don't understand how a man and a boy can develop feelings for each other so quickly. Do they have common topics, or is it that men and women are attracted to each other?

Zhou Yi immediately got up to wash up, knowing that Yu Yang was waiting for him, and he was overjoyed.

Chen Hong served the rice and placed the sesame seed cake next to Zhou Yi's seat, knowing that a small bowl of rice would definitely not be enough for Zhou Yi.

"Mom, is Uncle Zhou up yet?"

Yu Yang took the rice from his mother and asked worriedly, "Why aren't you eating yet?"

"Go wash your face. Your Uncle Zhou wants you to eat first, as you have to go to school this afternoon."

"Let's wait a little longer. I'm not taking a nap at noon. It's not too late."

Chen Hong was helpless; Zhou Yi was no longer listening to her. He really held a high position in Yu Yang's heart!

Her feelings were complicated, and she felt a little sour. With Yu Yang involved, her situation with Zhou Yi was not easy to resolve.

"Yu Yang, you eat first, don't wait for me. Don't you have to go to school this afternoon?"

Zhou Yi walked into the restaurant, wiping his face with a towel, and sat down. He casually draped the towel over the back of the chair and affectionately ruffled Yu Yang's hair.

"Yu Yang, how are you feeling in the new environment? Are you getting used to it? How are your relationships with your teachers and classmates?"

Has anyone bullied you? If anyone does, you must fight back. If you can't win, come back and tell your parents. Mom and Uncle Zhou will help you.

Yu Yang laughed heartily, "Uncle Zhou, don't worry, the teachers and classmates are all very nice, and I'm adapting well to the new school."

Nobody bullies me, and even if they did, I'm not afraid. I exercise every day; I'm tall and strong. Among my first graders, I'm one of the bigger and stronger!

As he spoke, he raised both hands and clenched his fists, exaggeratingly displaying his non-existent arm muscles.

Chen Hong rolled her eyes and quickly interrupted their conversation: "Hurry up and eat. You can rest for a while after you eat. Otherwise, you won't have any energy in class this afternoon, and the teacher will scold you."

The father and son exchanged a smile and quickly picked up their chopsticks to eat. Lunch was served forty minutes later than usual today, and the three of them began eating quickly.

Chen Hong peeled lobster meat for Yu Yang, put it in a small bowl and pushed it in front of him: "Eat quickly, lunch is a bit late today."

After peeling the lobster, he picked up a crab and started dissecting the crab meat. He only picked up his chopsticks to eat after he had finished dissecting a crab for Yu Yang.

Zhou Yi also served Yu Yang food, including lamb chops, beef, and vegetables.

Yu Yang ate with a big smile on his face, looking very happy.

"Uncle Zhou, this is enough for me. You should eat too! Mom's lamb chops are so delicious, you've never had them before!"

We've had a whole lamb feast back in our hometown. You wouldn't believe how delicious my mom's lamb is—it's so fragrant and tender, it's mouthwatering!

What a pity you missed it! But it's okay, my mom said she'll buy another sheep for everyone to eat during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Do you have a holiday for the Mid-Autumn Festival? Can you come back and celebrate with us?

Zhou Yi put some lamb chops on Chen Hong's plate. "I've already made arrangements. I'll take a seven-day holiday and come back to celebrate the reunion festival with you."

But the lamb chops your mom made today smelled really good; I could smell them even in my sleep.

Your mother not only cooks delicious lamb, but she also cooks excellent beef, pork, stewed chicken, and seafood.

She's an all-around culinary genius; even vegetables taste delicious in her hands!

"It's been so long since I've had your mom's cooking. I've been craving it. You're so lucky to get to eat your mom's cooking every day; I'm so envious!"
