Five days later, Mr. and Mrs. Chi arrived in Longmen Town.

Zhang Mingnian insisted on escorting Old Man Chi and the other two to the county government office. After seeing Chi Erchuan come out, he greeted him before leaving.

Chi Erchuan asked in confusion, "Grandpa and Grandma? Who are they?"

Aunt Chi clung to Chi Erchuan's arm, refusing to let go, and explained while wiping away her tears, "That's your cousin."

"My cousin? My second uncle's illegitimate son?"

Chi Erchuan's mind was racing.

Old Man Chi's face darkened, and he slapped the other man, but the other man dodged it.

But that didn't stop Old Man Chi from cursing: "You little bastard, what nonsense are you spouting? That's your third uncle's eldest son! His name is Zhang Mingnian."

"Next year? Is his younger brother called the year after next?" Chi Erchuan joked with a smile.

This was a side of Chi Erchuan that Mr. and Mrs. Chi had never seen before.

Everyone was stunned.

Aunt Chi, forgetting all about wiping her tears, stared at her son in astonishment and murmured, "Erchuan? Are you under a spell?"

Why does he seem so unlike her taciturn second son?

Old Man Chi's heart pounded, and his face changed: "Didn't they say that once you've won, you can't win again? What do we do now?"

"Mom and Dad, what are you talking about? I'm fine, I've just become more cheerful."

As Chi Erchuan spoke, a smile remained on his lips, and the joy in his eyes never faded.

It's clear that Chi Erchuan has truly changed.

The tall young man stood upright, with a graceful and elegant appearance. His slender figure and slightly fleshy face made him look like a refined scholar, giving people the impression of a dignified gentleman.

Otherwise, why would Aunt Chi be so agitated?

The second child has really changed!

"Good! Good! That's better!" Aunt Chi exclaimed, tears welling up in her eyes.

A son who is so real and relatable is truly reassuring.

Just as the group was about to go inside, they suddenly heard the sound of a carriage. When they turned around, they saw a very familiar carriage stop.

"This carriage looks so much like our family's carriage!"

Aunt Chi asked curiously.

Old Man Chi nodded: "It does look like it."

"Father, Mother, Second Brother!"

Chi Tang lifted the carriage curtain and stepped out. Xiao Hong and Xiao Lan jumped down from the carriage and then carried Chi Tang down.

The four men, including Old Man Chi, stared in disbelief: "Tangtang, what brings you here?"

"Auntie?"

Chi Tang said with a grin, "I've come to present my second brother with some achievements."

Speaking of rice paddy fish, rice paddy crabs, and tofu workshops, these can all lead the villagers to prosperity.

Since it can bring political achievements to the magistrate of Pinghe Town, it can certainly bring political achievements to my second brother as well!

So Chi Tang came directly.

With Xiao Hong and the others on either side, my safety is assured.

Mr. Chi's first reaction was to care about his daughter and scold her for not being able to go out alone.

Then he held his daughter and was overjoyed, laughing so hard that his teeth were showing.

"My daughter, I miss you so much."

Old Man Chi's eyes were red.

He had never been separated from his daughter for such a long time before.

Chi Erchuan:......

He hadn't seen his daughter for two years, and his eyes hadn't even reddened. But after just two months of not seeing his sister, he cried like this!

Tsk tsk.

He's tired of saying the word "favoritism."

but……

Chi Erchuan forcefully snatched his sister from his father's arms and kissed her twice: "Tangtang, did you miss your second brother?"

"have!"

The little girl answered very loudly.

Chi Erchuan: "Where would you like to?"

Chi Tangjiong: "Second brother, do you still think I'm a child?"

When babies are just learning to talk, adults often tease them by asking where they want to go, and the babies will point to their hearts and say, "I want to go here."

The adults will happily kiss the child twice.

"You're only five years old, still a child. Tell your second brother, are you missing him?"

Chi Erchuan couldn't help but kiss his sister again.

The little girl is so adorable, with her delicate features.

"Second brother, don't kiss me! It's all drool."

Chi Tang looked somewhat disgusted.

Taking advantage of the situation, Old Man Chi tried to snatch his daughter away: "Didn't you hear Tangtang complaining about you? Give me your daughter! If you want to have a baby, go have one yourself!"

But old man Chi was too old to compete with his young and strong son.

All I could do was stand by and glare angrily.

"No way! With our family tradition, I'm afraid I won't be able to have a daughter. I have to give my little sister a good kiss while she's still young."

If I get two years older, I won't be able to kiss my younger sister so easily anymore.

After all, men and women are different.

Thinking of this, Chi Erchuan hugged Chi Tang and kissed her many more times.

Chi Tang cried out for help.

"Father! Father, save me! My second brother is going to eat me!"

Oh my god, that's terrifying!

She was so touched she was almost numb!

How did my second brother turn out like this?

So, is she aloof or cold?

Where is the clear moon and gentle breeze?

"Give me your daughter right now, or I'll beat you up in front of the county government office!"

Old Man Chi threatened with a dark face.

Chi Erchuan was both amused and exasperated, and had no choice but to return his sister to his father.

Chi Tang, now free, breathed a long sigh of relief, much to everyone's amusement.

"Alright, Mom and Dad, let's go inside and talk."

Chi Erchuan glanced at Xiao Hong, Xiao Lan, and the others who were following behind, seemingly without any presence.

A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

But it was only for a moment. Soon he was in front of his parents, chatting and laughing, appearing generous and composed.

“Father and Mother, this backyard is my yard. However, Master Du has a family of elderly people living with him, and it’s too crowded at his place. Since my place is empty, I let Master Du live in these three side rooms.”
