Inside the house, Li Yueniang absentmindedly sliced ​​the duck, muttering to herself, "If they don't come soon, the duck will get cold, and it won't taste good when it's cold."

"Guo Xiaomao's temper is getting worse and worse!"

Just then, the door outside creaked open. Li Yueniang quickly sped up her work, pretending to be very busy, but her eyes kept sneaking glances outside.

Guo Xiaomao's voice came before he even entered the room.

"Wow, it smells so good! The whole yard smells amazing. It's definitely a famous old brand of duck. Hehehe, I'm in for a treat today."

"Old Mrs. Li, is the film ready yet? You're dawdling like this. What kind of hospitality is this? Do I have to do it myself?"

Li Yueniang was secretly delighted. "You're the one dawdling. If you don't come soon, the ducks will get cold."

"Hurry up, go to the kitchen and bring the sauce over."

"Hehe, I want sweet chili sauce."

"You're making a fuss. Sweet sauce is sweet sauce, and hot sauce is hot sauce. What kind of sweet hot sauce is this?"

"You're ignorant, and you won't admit it. Just dip it in both sweet sauce and hot sauce, and it becomes sweet hot sauce."

Looking at the energetic and bickering old lady, Song Jingzhou teased, "What, didn't you two have a fight?"

Li Yueniang's eyes widened. "Did we have a fight?"

Guo Xiaomao looked puzzled. "When did this happen? Did we have a fight?"

"Get out of here, you have no sense of propriety, we're doing just fine!"

The two old ladies rolled up the duck while excitedly discussing yesterday's battle.

“Let me tell you, this is how I should have scolded her yesterday, @#@%￥……%\u0026……*”

"Yes, yes, next time we run into her, let's do the same thing and make her furious!"

Before they had even eaten a few bites of the duck, the two old ladies were already inseparable again. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Li Yueniang brewed some strong tea.

"I grabbed an extra handful of tea leaves. Strong tea helps with digestion. Although the duck is delicious, we're both getting on in years, and it's greasy. Drinking tea will help with digestion and prevent stomach upset."

After they had almost finished their tea, Grandma Guo winked at Song Jingzhou, signaling that it was time to speak.

Song Jingzhou quickly said, "Grandma, actually I have two pieces of good news to tell you this time I came back."

"The first one is Qingci. He's finished his task and is on his way home. He should be home by tomorrow."

Li Yueniang's eyes lit up. "Really? Oh, old lady Mao, you have no idea how outstanding I, Qingci, am. I was noticed by the leaders as soon as I joined the army. And I've been on some important mission outside all this time!"

Grandma Guo nodded in agreement. "Yes, I saw it long ago. Qingci has been smart since she was a child. She will be appreciated by her superiors no matter where she is."

"What's the other good news? Jin Dong is back too?"

"Hehe, not only do you have good news, I have good news too! Changqing and the others are coming back soon! Hahaha~"

Song Jingzhou's expression gradually turned serious. "There's another piece of news. Grandma, you have to promise me you won't get agitated."

Li Yueniang glanced at Song Jingzhou, and slowly became serious as well. "What is it?"

"Tell me, what in this world could possibly excite me?"

"Qingci said she found her uncle overseas and is bringing them back now. They'll be home tomorrow!"

Li Yueniang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up. She was so unsteady that she clutched her chest and staggered two steps before falling backward.

Song Jingzhou quickly stood up and helped Li Yueniang up. "Hey, Grandma, Grandma, what's wrong? Didn't we agree not to get excited?"

While supporting Li Yueniang's other arm, Guo Xiaomao kicked Song Jingzhou, saying, "Why are you talking so aggressively? You just blurted everything out. Can't you speak slowly?"

"Hey, hey, old woman Li, take a deep breath, take a deep breath, inhale, exhale! We finally got news of your second son, what are you doing? Show some courage! The child is back to see you, not to eat at a banquet!"

"Who are you trying to scare to death?"

Li Yueniang clutched her chest and followed Guo Xiaomao's rhythm, inhaling and exhaling repeatedly until her flushed face returned to normal.

Her hands trembled as she gripped Song Jingzhou tightly, asking urgently, "Did she find her uncle?"

"They really found it?"

Looking into the old lady's hopeful eyes, Song Jingzhou nodded solemnly.

"That's what she said, that she found it on some island overseas, but you'll only know the specifics when you meet her."

"I was worried you might get too excited when we meet, so I asked you to let me know beforehand..."

Caught off guard, tears streamed down Li Yueniang's face.

So many years have passed, more than twenty years have gone by. Day and night, she waited and waited, thinking she would never see him again.

She had even prepared herself to die with her eyes wide open in disbelief, when suddenly, news arrived.

Guo Xiaomao understood Li Yueniang's feelings best. The two had been best friends for over twenty years. When Su Changqing and his wife were taken away and their grandchildren had to be sent away, Guo Xiaomao never saw Li Yueniang frown.

In her heart, Li Yueniang had always been a very strong-willed old woman, and this was the first time she had ever shown such vulnerability in front of others.

Seeing Old Lady Li laughing and crying at the same time, she felt a lump in her throat and started wiping away tears as well. "Don't cry, boohoo~ This is good news! We've waited so many years, and finally there's good news! Why are you crying? Boohoo~"

Li Yueniang kept wiping away her tears with her sleeve. "I'm not crying, sob sob, I'm so happy, my Changzhi is coming back, sob sob, these tears just keep coming out of my eyes, I can't stop them."

Song Jingzhou was so frustrated by Grandma Guo's wailing that his head was about to explode.

"Grandma Guo, what are you doing? I asked you to come over and comfort my grandma, but you're crying even harder than her!!"

"Okay, okay, stop crying."

Li Yueniang sobbed as she looked up at Guo Xiaomao, "Why are you crying? Waaah, he's not your son."

Grandma Guo wiped her nose and said, "Stop crying, you're making me want to cry too, I feel so sorry for you!"

"Waaaaah, Yue~, stop making me cry, waaaaah, the duck is about to come out, if you keep crying, the duck, the duck, will have eaten for nothing."

"Waaaaah~ I don't have many teeth left, and I finally managed to eat it, I can't spit it out!"

"Alright, alright, both of you grandmas, stop crying. Come on, stop crying, inhale, exhale, inhale, breathe."

"Alright, quickly drink some tea to calm down. This is a good thing, look what you've done."

Li Yueniang finally shut up, picked up the teacup on the table, and downed it in one gulp.

Then they quickly cleared away the bowls, saying, "Hurry up, we've had our drinks, let's clean up."

"Granny Guo, I remember you have some red silk, hurry up and get it for me. And Song boy, carry out all the beds and cabinets from those two rooms inside to air them out..."

"Granny Guo, come on, let's go grocery shopping together. By the way, how many meat coupons and cloth coupons do you have left?"
