Li Yueniang got up early and made several large baskets of dumplings.

Guo Xiaomao looked at her, who was still trying to scoop out flour to mix, and had a complicated expression on his face. Was this old woman so happy that she went crazy?

"Grandma Li, although it's getting cooler, these dumplings won't taste good if they're left overnight."

"It's not a big deal. How about I wrap some more for you after you finish eating? There are already several hundred of these."

Li Yueniang turned her head, "Have there been several hundred already?"

Guo Xiaomao nodded quickly, "Yes, I counted, there are more than three hundred of them, and they're quite big. I reckon even that glutton Su Jindong couldn't eat forty of them by himself!"

"Besides, you've already used up all the meat you bought, and the filling is almost gone. How about we leave it like this for now?"

Li Yueniang wiped her hands on her apron and paced anxiously back and forth in the kitchen.

"You mentioned it, and I just remembered, why hasn't that idiot Su Jindong arrived yet?"

"Grandma, I'm here, I'm here."

Li Yueniang smacked him on the head with a flick of her wrist. "You heartless wretch! You're not even worth half a fart of Xiao Song's. Luckily, I don't expect anything from you..."

"Xiao Song has come by several times recently. Ren Qingci is away on a mission. What about you?"

Su Jindong said with a wronged expression, "Grandma, my branch of service is different from theirs. I train until midnight every day!"

Seeing Li Yueniang raise her hand again, Su Jindong held his head and shouted, "Grandma, your hairstyle is so beautiful and stylish! I almost didn't recognize you just now."

Li Yueniang was taken aback. The hand that was about to strike Su Jindong changed direction and touched her ear.

"Really? And you're energetic?"

Su Jindong immediately switched to his sycophantic manner, saying, "She looks incredibly energetic. There's no other old lady in the entire Liuhuai Lane who looks this energetic."

"Grandma, is there anything I can do for you?"

Li Yueniang's expression softened. "You carry the ladder and sweep all the fallen leaves off the roof."

Su Jindong looked at the neatly stacked firewood in the yard, then at the yard that had been swept clean and had fresh mud scraped out, and at the red satin on the window, before looking up at the roof. "Grandma, was this really necessary?"

Li Yueniang smacked him on the back with a broom, "Enough nonsense, hurry up and get up there. If I weren't so old, I would have done it myself long ago!"

Seeing Su Jindong carrying a ladder upstairs, Li Yueniang then called out to Song Jingzhou.

"Hey Song, check how the cabinets are drying. Move them all inside. What time is it? Shouldn't you be here soon?"

As Song Jingzhou hurriedly carried the newly coated and dried tung oil cabinet inside, he replied to Li Yueniang, "It's a little past eleven o'clock, it should be ready soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Yueniang was already looking towards the door.

After finally getting off the bus with Su Changzhi's family, Su Qingci arrived at Liuhuai Lane. Su Changzhi asked anxiously again, "Qingci, are we almost there?"

Su Qingci nodded, "We're almost there. Just go out of this alley and walk about fifty meters!"

"Stop the car! Stop the car!"

Su Qingci stopped her bicycle. "What's wrong, Uncle?"

Su Changzhi hesitated, patted his clothes, and tugged at his sleeve.

"Will this be okay for me?"

"I'll walk there myself. I'll go with Fengmei and Sigui. I can do it!"

Su Qingci stepped out of the car. "Okay, let's walk back together."

As you enter the alley, you can see two young men standing at the door with two elderly women with gray hair.

As Li Yueniang watched the person slowly approaching, her eyes reddened, she subconsciously grabbed Guo Xiaomao's wrist.

Guo Xiaomao patted her hand twice to comfort her, "Don't worry, don't worry, it's here."

Su Jindong's gaze immediately met Liao Sigui's, and both of them looked shocked!

Sixiang, Sijia, and Liao Fengmei also stared at Su Jindong with puzzled expressions, glancing at him and then back at Liao Sigui.

Now they finally understood why Su Qingci had suddenly come to their house.

Li Yueniang's gaze was fixed on Su Changzhi, who was bowing and had gray hair as he approached.

Su Changzhi's gaze passed over Guo Xiaomao and fixed on Li Yueniang. He walked towards her shakily.

Even though they hadn't seen each other for decades, he recognized his mother at a glance.

His nostrils flared violently, and he opened his mouth twice, but his throat felt blocked, and he couldn't utter the word "Mother."

He tried to smile at his mother, but tears welled up in his eyes like a burst dam, gushing out incessantly.

Li Yueniang's gaze followed Su Changzhi's movements. She smiled, just like when she encouraged him to walk when he was a child, but her trembling hands revealed her unease.

Seeing him standing there anxiously, Li Yueniang let go of Guo Xiaomao's hand and slowly walked towards Su Changzhi.

She didn't cry; a gentle smile remained on her face, and she stood ramrod straight, like a mother welcoming her son who had just left for get off work in the morning and was returning home in the evening.

She could tell that her son was already very frightened, and she couldn't let her emotions put pressure on him, so she took a few steps to get her mother to come to him.

Su Changzhi looked at Li Yueniang cautiously, as if he had made a mistake when he was a child, feeling wronged and fearful. Li Yueniang, just like in countless previous scenes, gently hugged him.

She tenderly stroked Su Changzhi's graying hair by his ear, her eyes filled with heartache, "My son, welcome home!"

Su Changzhi trembled involuntarily and hugged Li Yueniang back with all his might.

Tears and snot covered his face.

He opened his mouth, the veins on his forehead and neck bulged, and finally roared out a "Mother" that resounded through the sky.
