Ye Shuang hugged Li Wenyi's neck tightly and buried her face in his neck, because the moment she saw him, even she herself was unwilling to admit that she actually missed him a little.

The longing was like smoke, ethereal and formless, so much so that during the time Li Wenyi was away, she didn't even realize that she missed him.

Li Wenyi felt Ye Shuang's strength and was momentarily surprised. He had thought this ungrateful little brat wouldn't miss him at all! The harshness on his face gradually softened, and a gentle smile returned. It was worth it for him to want to bring her all the delicious food and fun things he saw in the capital. It was just a pity that he didn't have enough money. But it didn't matter. One day, he would bring his family back to the capital. He swore!

"Where are Mom and Dad?" Li Wenyi patted Ye Shuang's back gently as he walked around the house, but he really couldn't find the couple.

Ye Shuang had now suppressed the strange emotions that had been somewhat out of her control and said, "At this time, my parents must be in the fields!"

Hearing the familiar baby voice, Li Wenyi felt a sense of relief. He was really back. He smiled and said, "Okay, shall we wait for Mom and Dad to come back in the yard? Has anything happened at home during this time?"

Ye Shuang tilted her head. What was going on? There were so many disaster victims recently, and he was in the capital, the place where all the information was concentrated. How come he seemed to know nothing? She didn't understand, so she told him everything.

When Li Mantian and Li Shi returned, they heard another familiar voice accompanying the childish voice inside.

"You brat, you still know how to come back?" Li Mantian pushed open the door and slapped Li Wenyi on the back of the head.

The slap made Li Wenyi's head buzz, but it didn't matter. He even missed the pain. Li Wenyi grimaced and raised his head, trying to force a smile: "Dad, Mom, I'm back!"

That evening, the Li family celebrated as if it were New Year's Day again. Li Shi prepared a table full of dishes, and Li Mantian even brought back a pot of wine and set out two small wine cups, as if the father and son were going to get drunk together that day.

Of course, the final outcome was that the father and son collapsed at the table, leaving only Li Shi and Ye Shuang eating the dishes on the table with helpless expressions.

The next day, Li finally had the chance to catch Li Wenyi and find out what the outcome was.

"Mother, I couldn't stay in the capital; I was only sent here as a county magistrate." Li Wenyi lowered his head. He should have been able to stay in the capital, but unfortunately…

Looking at Li Wenyi, who seemed somewhat dejected, Madam Li paused, then patted his shoulder and said, "Son, the fact that you passed the exam is already a great blessing for the Li family! Have you heard where you've been assigned to be a county magistrate?"

Speaking of this, Li Wenyi excitedly announced, "It just so happens that there was a vacancy in our county, and the person in charge of assigning officials specially assigned me a good one!"

Li's lips twitched; she wanted nothing more than to slap this fool to death. What was so good about this place? And why bother? Had this child offended someone in the capital without even realizing it?

Ye Shuang was sipping a bowl of sweet soup, watching their antics, especially Li Wenyi's silly grin and Li Shi's as if he were an idiot. It was quite amusing.
