"Hehe, then I'll wait patiently."

"By the way, how is the commander's health?"

"The commander is in good health. He is very happy every day."

"Yes, Hongmei was very busy every day abroad in order to fulfill her promise to the leader."

"Aunt Wang, if you're tired, please take a rest."

"Not tired!"

Both of them laughed, remembering the time when Hongmei and the other two went to Liujiatun.

"After Hongmei came back, she must have gone back to Liujiatun, right?"

"That's right. But I didn't go that time. The two leaders and other leaders accompanied me back. I had just married Zeng Zhongkang at that time, so I didn't go with them."

"So that means you married Zeng Zhongkang right after they got back? You two knew each other before?"

"They only met once before they set off."

"Heh, you had your eye on him back then?"

"Haha, no, it's just that when they came back I was thinking about getting married, and I happened to run into him, so we got together."

"Heh, you're still as careless as ever. Don't you need to get to know the other person?"

"I didn't think much about it at the time, I just felt safe with him."

The two chatted happily all the way, and Zhao Tiancheng, who was behind them, never knew that his wife could be so talkative.

As dawn broke, the two cars drove into the city, and seventeen people got out to have breakfast.

At this moment, little Wang Zining also woke up, and Wang Ying immediately took a liking to him.

“Ningning, this is your sister Wang Ying.”

"Hello, Sister Wang Ying, my name is Wang Zining."

"Wow! Wang Zining, I like you so much!"

"Thank you, my sister is very nice too."

Wang Zining was picked up by Wang Ying, who kissed her cheek. This made Wang Ying even happier.

Only then did Wang Xiaoshun have time to come over and greet Wang Xinyi.

Kong Yushun and the others ate their fried dough sticks, all very excited. Only now did they feel like they were home; the journey, whether by plane, ship, or truck, had been a blur.

The five men were talking loudly and happily, their eyes scanning everyone on the street, finally feeling a sense of reality.

Of the five girls, Miao Xinyue was particularly excited, while Dong Yuping was not so excited.

Zhao Yuetong was uncertain about her family, while Jiang Mingyan and Wang Minxia were simply afraid.

Zhao Tiancheng came back with them. The two of them had even looked for Wang Xinyi and her husband on the ship, hoping they wouldn't reveal their time abroad. Zhao Tiancheng and her husband replied that they wouldn't talk about it voluntarily, but they wouldn't help cover it up if their superiors asked.

So even though the two returned to their homeland after four years and were about to see their beloved family, they felt no joy.

Not knowing what would happen, the two of them were distracted the whole way.

An hour later, they continued their journey. This time, Wang Zining sat in Wang Xinyi's lap and chatted with Wang Ying the whole way.

The little guy is curious about everything. He always has so many questions. Wang Ying patiently gives him the answers.

The two men stopped their car upon entering the capital region. Wang Xiaoshun asked the two bodyguards to get out and into Wang Ying's car. He was taking ten people to a place where each of them would be questioned and investigated.

The two vehicles separated, and the ten people in the truck were all a little nervous. But the most frightened were Jiang Mingyan and Wang Minxia.

"Where are we being taken?" Jiang Mingyan asked in a trembling voice.

None of the other nine people could answer her either.

Wang Ying drove directly back to Xinyuan. Hongmei told her family that they would be staying there.

After getting off the bus, everyone walked slowly for a while. The bumpy journey of several hours had not been easy.

"Wang Ying? Hongmei doesn't live here?"

"Aunt Wang, Hongmei is in the compound. The three of you can go in. But these two foreigners can't."

"Oh, I see."

"Aunt Wang, it's almost noon. You two go wash up first. I'll go to the restaurant to buy lunch. After you eat, the two foreigners can rest here. Let's go to the courtyard to see Hongmei."

"Okay, go ahead."

Wang Xinyi returned to Xinyuan, overwhelmed with emotion. She truly hadn't expected that her return four years later would be like this.

There are still people staying at Xinyuan to take care of the old couple's home. The cleaning staff had already notified them in advance, so the rooms are cleaned and hot water is ready.

All five of them had finished getting ready, and Wang Ying had also bought lunch.

It was a feast of eight large bowls. Wang Zining and his two foreign bodyguards were the most happy eating.

After the meal, Zhao Tiancheng arranged for the two to rest. After putting down their own luggage, all that was left in the car was food prepared for Zhang Hongmei.

The two bodyguards didn't matter. Before leaving, the head of the family instructed them to follow Mr. Zhao's arrangements.

Even if they are in good health, they must be exhausted from the journey. It would be good for them to rest.

The four set off. "Sister Wang Ying, are we going to see Sister Hongmei?"

"Yes! Do you remember her?"

"I remember! But why didn't Sister Hongmei come to pick me up?"

"Hehe, you'll see your sister Hongmei soon, why don't you just go and ask her yourself?"

Upon arriving at the compound gate, the inspection alone took half an hour. All the packages were opened and checked. The officials looked at the large bag of money with completely expressionless and indifferent expressions.

"Mom, why did they open our package?"

"Check them! These are all important people; the staff need to ensure their safety."

"Oh!" Wang Zining nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

After being given permission, the car drove directly into the yard.

Lu Jing came out to greet them personally. "Welcome, all three of you. Madam is waiting inside. Please follow me."

Zhao Tiancheng was a little unsure of himself. Although he knew Zhang Hongmei's identity, he had never felt such a difference before.

Uncle Li and the others helped carry the packages. Only Zhao Tiancheng carried the bag containing the money.

Wang Xinyi, holding Wang Zining's hand, entered the living room and saw Hu Aifen.

"Ms. Wang hasn't changed at all."

"Sister-in-law too! She's still the same as before."

“Come on, Hongmei is inside. She’s been talking about it all morning. But this gentleman can’t go in. Wang Ying, you sit with him.”

"Okay, ma'am!"

Wang Xinyi was puzzled. What was going on? As Hu Aifen entered the room, she saw Zhang Hongmei smiling at her from the bed, and the crib next to her. What else was there that she didn't understand?

"Aunt Wang, welcome back?"

"Sister Hongmei!" Wang Zining tried to rush towards Zhang Hongmei, but was hugged by Wang Xinyi.

"Ningning, do you still recognize your older sister?"

"Of course, I was already a big kid when you left, so of course I can remember you."

"Haha, Aunt Wang, let him go, Ningning, come here to your sister."

Wang Xinyi took a deep breath. "Hongmei, did you give birth to all four of these children?"
