"Daya, didn't you say you would play for three days and come back?" Old Mrs. Xu couldn't eat or sleep well during the past few days when Xu Ning and the others were out. Her eyelids started twitching early this morning, both the left and the right, making her restless all day.

It was dusk when Xu Ning and his friends got ashore. Old Mrs. Xu came to the beach as if she had sensed something and just happened to see Xu Ning and his friends getting off the boat.

Xu Ning and the others heard Old Lady Xu's voice and quickly ran over, "Grandma, why are you here?"

"I'm just taking a walk because I'm bored." Old Mrs. Xu changed the anxious look on her face and seemed a little uncomfortable when Xu Ning looked at her.

Xu Ning smiled happily, not exposing her, "Grandma, I've missed you so much these past two days. Look, I've lost weight because of you. Grandma, do you miss me?"

"I don't miss you, Yuanyuan. Come here, let's go back to eat!" Old Mrs. Xu arrogantly refused to hold Xu Ning's hand. Xu Ning consciously took the old lady's arm and didn't mind her attitude at all.

"Grandma, I missed you too!" Xu Feng also came over. Old Mrs. Xu raised her lips and said, "Let's go home. Grandma will make you something delicious!"

"Great! Milk is the best!" Xu Feng's cheers echoed on the beach, and Xu An walked at the end of the group with a smile on his face.

At the Xu family residence not far from the beach, Zhang, who was washing rice and cooking, seemed to hear the voice of her youngest son.

Just at this time, the people who came to help in the village had gone back one after another. Xu Da packed up and ran over to help Zhang.

"Boss, did you hear Xiaobao's voice?"

"Xiaobao? Didn't Xiaobao go out with Daya Dabao? Wife, did you hear wrong?"

"No, I really heard Xiaobao's voice. Dad, did you hear it?" Zhang glared at Xu Da, then turned to ask Old Man Xu who was holding a bamboo strip not far away.

"I heard them. They should be back. Your mother should have gone to pick them up?" Old man Xu looked up and replied when he heard his daughter-in-law's voice.

"Really?" Zhang beamed, and said quickly, "Dad is right. I have to cook more. The children must be hungry."

Zhang was happily busying herself. Xu Da stretched out his hand and didn't know what to do for a moment. He glanced at her father who was tossing Zhuzi again, then looked at his wife. He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end said nothing. He smacked his lips and continued to help Zhang.

"Master~~"

“Mother~~”

"Dad~~"

"We're back!" Xu Ning and the others' voices came closer. Zhang's smile widened when she heard them. "Hey, are you hungry? We'll be eating soon!"

"Look, he's back now?" Zhang worked even faster, not forgetting to scold Xu Da.

"My wife is right!" Xu Da hurried over to fawn over her. Zhang immediately ordered him, "Hurry up, don't let the child starve!"

"Why!"

…

After a full meal with laughter and joy, the Xu family sat together outside the tent in the moonlight and chatted.

"Daya, I heard the county government and the naval commander went to suppress the pirates the day you went out. Did you encounter any of them?"

"No! We have been fishing at sea! I don't know if they scared away all the fish while fighting pirates. We haven't caught any fish for two days." Xu Ning said nonsense seriously. Xu Yuan and others couldn't bear to watch and consciously shifted their gaze.

Old Lady Xu glanced at Xu Ning twice, and Xu Ning showed it to Old Lady Xu openly, not afraid at all that Old Lady Xu would notice.

Old Mrs. Xu naturally knew that Xu Ning was talking nonsense, but she didn't delve into it. After all, the children had done it, and as a family member, she shouldn't say anything to spoil the fun.

"Grandma, we have also gained something these days. The gods said that we provided the villagers with opportunities to work, and rewarded our family with some small things." Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Xu Ning followed everyone's gaze and took out all the small boxes.

"Daya, this won't do. You only need one of these treasure chests! Our family can't be so greedy!" Old Mrs. Xu recognized at a glance that these boxes were smaller versions of Xu Ning's box. Before Xu Ning could introduce them, she was anxious to ask Xu Ning to take them back!
