After an eight-hour journey, the three of them finally returned to Yujia Village.

As soon as they got home, Chen Hong and Yu Yang both stretched and yawned; the temperature by the sea was much more comfortable.

First, Chen Hong helped Dad wash up and made him a pot of tea. She then went to the kitchen and quickly cooked a pot of tomato and egg noodles. It was already 2 PM; he'd only had some biscuits and snacks on the train. He needed some more soup noodles to feel better.

The three of them each had a bowl, though Yu Yang's was a small one. After finishing his meal, Yu Yang put down his bowl and said, "No wonder Grandma said my nephew is a dog, a dog, he eats his fill and then leaves! It's so much more comfortable at home!"

Dad said, "Don't listen to your grandma. It's just that it's too far away for you. You don't go to Jinan often, so you're not used to it. You'll get used to it once you live here longer."

Chen Hong thought to herself, "My mother has always been like this, both generations. She's too particular about distinguishing between her granddaughter and nephew, and she doesn't even watch what she says. These kids are so smart and sensitive, what don't they understand?"

Chen Hong arranged for her father and Yu Yang to sleep in the same room. The room had been renovated recently, and there was still a bed that Yu Yang's grandfather used to sleep in. The room was more than 20 square meters, which was enough for the two of them.

Chen Hong made up the bed for her father and Yu Yang so they could get some sleep. He was almost sixty and had been traveling all the way, so he was quite tired.

While her father was sleeping, Chen Hong took out a bottle of honey from her spatial storage, drove around for a while, and then took out a blue of strawberries, a bucket of fish and shrimp, and two boxes of tea leaves picked from the mountain.

From now on, when Dad lives here, he needs to be more careful when entering and leaving the space to get things, so as not to give himself away.

For the three days they were away from home, Grandpa Yu Yang had been taking care of the house, the chickens, ducks, and dogs. Chen Hong called him to tell him that she and her daughter were back, and that her father would be staying with them for a while. She also asked if he was coming over for dinner that night.

Grandpa Yu hung up the phone, his heart pounding. His former in-laws were here. They must know their daughter was divorced and were worried, so they came to support her! What was he thinking? Chen Hong had invited him to dinner, but he wasn't going.

How can I face Old Chen if I go there? My son did such a terrible thing, what am I supposed to say to Old Chen? I'd better avoid Chen Hong's house for a while to avoid seeing Old Chen. I'd better avoid him for now!

I wonder how long Old Chen will stay, and whether he'll still pick up the child himself? Yu Zhaohua felt a terrible headache coming on! Feeling suffocated, the old man called the village chief's house: "Cousin, Chen Hong is back."

"Oh, it's good to be back! Your cousin and I have been feeling really empty these past few days without the kids!"

The village chief was delighted to hear this. During this time, he and his wife would often visit Chen Hong's house. Seeing how energetic and lively she was, they felt that they, the old couple, were also full of energy and that time was passing by very quickly.

"Chen Hong's father is here too; he came back with her," Yu Zhaohua dropped a bombshell.

"What? Chen Hong's dad's here? That's great! The temperature here is just right, not too hot or too cold. We need to dig peanuts and pick corn, we're short-handed! Hehe, are you afraid to meet him? Serves you right, who told you to raise such a troublesome son? By the way, how did you know Chen Hong's dad was here? Did you meet him?"

"I haven't seen him yet! Chen Hong called me and asked if I wanted to go out for dinner. How could I possibly go? What am I going to say when we meet? It's all that bastard Yu Hai's fault. We can't even meet as in-laws anymore. I'm so worried!"

"Haha, you're worried but I'm not. Tonight I'm going to have a drink with Chen Hong's dad. The guests have come all this way, we can't not give them a warm welcome. I'll call Chen Hong right away."

Yu Zhaohua hung up the phone, cursing under his breath. "What a terrible cousin! I should have just not made the call. This guy is a stab in the back. He's really making things worse."

Chen Hong was watering the vegetable garden in the backyard after picking vegetables; she'd been gone for three days, and the fields were completely dry. She received a call from the village chief: "Uncle, yes, my dad's coming to stay for a while. He's helping me out; he's worried about things at home. I was thinking of arranging a meal for you all tomorrow, but okay, let's invite Auntie and Uncle Erhu too, how about tonight?"

It turns out the village chief is coming over tonight to have a drink and a chat with my dad.

Chen Hong stopped watering the fields, went to the chicken coop, caught a big rooster, carried it to the front yard, went to the kitchen to get a cleaver and a small bowl to collect the chicken blood.

After plucking the feathers from the chicken's neck, they made their cut. The rooster felt a sharp pain in its neck and kicked its legs with all its might, but as it kicked, blood flowed into the small bowl, and it gradually lost its strength.

Seeing that it couldn't bleed anymore, Chen Hong threw it into a large bucket of water. Letting it struggle in its death throes, Chen Hong went into the kitchen and boiled a pot of water.

After watching the rooster die, I poured some cold water into the pot, scooped half a basin of water into the bucket, and plucked the feathers off. After cleaning for more than ten minutes, I finally cleaned the chicken completely.
