He Tingchuan came to pick them up in his Jeep.

The military green jeep looked like it had been washed.

Yun Jin asked, "Did you wash the car?"

He Tingchuan smiled, waiting for Yun Jin to praise him.

Yun Jin smiled and praised, "Not bad, very clean, Daddy Rice Cake is great!"

He Tingchuan almost couldn't suppress the urge to smile.

Little Rice Cake joined in the fun, giving a thumbs up: "Daddy's good, Daddy's awesome!"

He Tingchuan affectionately rubbed his daughter's little face.

Looking at He Tingchuan, whose face was beaming with joy at being praised, Li Aimei thought to herself that, in all the time she had known him, she had only ever seen the naturally cheerful and smiling He Tingchuan in front of his sister-in-law and the others.

My sister-in-law is so good at praising!

Anyone who didn't know better would think my sister-in-law was a childcare professional, she's so good at coaxing babies, even a 300-month-old baby can be coaxed into laughing.

On the way back, He Tingchuan was driving, and Doubao was squatting in the passenger seat. Doubao had already enthusiastically gotten coal dust all over its male owner's pants, but He Tingchuan generously didn't hold it against Doubao.

Yun Jin sat in the back with Xiao Niangao, while Li Aimei got in the car and pretended to be asleep, but her ears were perked up as she listened to the warm conversation between the family of three.

Basically, Xiao Nian Gao talks a lot, keeping the atmosphere lively.

With her parents chiming in, praising her as well, Little Rice Cake was all smiles.

Li Aimei envied this way of getting along.

She thought, "I hope my own little family will be just as warm and cozy in the future."

When the car arrived at the family compound, everyone else was still training. The other women in the compound were either cooking or busy disciplining their children.

Little Rice Cake brought the dog back, and when she met someone she knew, she greeted them loudly.

The little bean bun was also very happy, and it desperately lifted its legs to pee, marking its territory and reclaiming its land.

The man and his dog quickly became a hot topic in the courtyard.

Many of the women's wives, seeing the family of four plus Li Aimei return, thought they had mistaken her for someone else. Unsure, they took another look.

Yun Jin smiled and waved, "Sister-in-law, have you eaten?"

"Emma, ​​it really is Xiao Nian Gao and the others back!"

"You've gotten even more beautiful since I last saw you in half a year!"

"Doubao is back too. Oh dear, they can't seem to leave their dog behind no matter where they go!"

Soon, everyone in the compound knew that Yun Jin and Xiao Niangao had returned, and many people stopped cooking and came over to join in the fun.

Yun Jin generously let He Tingchuan open his backpack, which contained a lot of candy he bought from the capital. Everyone who came to the house to watch the fun got a handful of candy, and more than half of the ten-plus pounds of candy were quickly gone.

They took the candy with them and left satisfied, saving it for the children to eat when they returned.

If they don't leave soon, He Tingchuan will kick them out.

He Tingchuan poured Yun Jin a glass of water and added honey.

Yun Jin took a sip: "It's very sweet."

"He collected the honey himself. He found a honeycomb during training and brought it back with Li Aiguo. He even got stung by bees several times, and his face was so swollen it was unbearable to look at." He Tingchuan almost laughed when he thought of Li Aiguo's pig-headed face.

Yun Jin asked with concern, "What about you? Were you stung?"

He Tingchuan shook his head: "No, I ran fast!"

Yun Jin smiled and gave him a thumbs up, praising him for being amazing.

He Tingchuan's lips curled up in a smug smile, his eyes and brows radiating laughter.

Seeing her sipping the honey water slowly, he assumed she was reluctant to drink it, and generously said, "We have plenty of honey stored at home. You can drink it every day if you like." He Tingchuan knew she was coming to the camp, so he specially saved some.

Honey is also a good thing at this time of year.

Most importantly, He Tingchuan still cared about her feelings.

Yun Jin was deeply moved and couldn't help but lean over, stand on tiptoe, and kiss him on the cheek.

Little Rice Cake covered her eyes and asked, "Mom and Dad, are you done kissing?"

He Tingchuan blushed and, holding Xiao Niangao, laughed, "Want to give me a kiss too?"

Little Rice Cake is always there for you, taking a big bite right away.

Just then, Sister-in-law Gao finished cooking and called us over: "Come over for dinner. I specially bought pork belly and made braised pork."

"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Yun Jin didn't stand on ceremony. She gave the remaining honey water to Xiao Niangao and He Tingchuan, and then took a box of Daohuahong pastries and two jin of crispy candy to Sister-in-law Gao's house.

When you go to someone's house for a meal, it's impolite to arrive empty-handed.

Aunt Gao was surprised by Yun Jin's politeness. She smiled and accepted the pastries and candies she brought, then invited everyone to eat together. She even teased Little Niangao, who remembered Aunt Gao and called her "Auntie" sweetly.

Sister-in-law Gao wished she could kill the old hen in the house and give Xiao Nian Gao a big chicken leg.

After eating and drinking their fill, Yun Jin and Xiao Niangao took a bath and washed their hair. The water was left out in the sun by He Tingchuan all morning, and it was hot, so it was for Yun Jin and her daughter to wash.

Now that it's summer, the public bathhouse doesn't heat water, so people basically just sunbathe in the water.

He Tingchuan and the other grown men took cold showers to save firewood.

After washing, she felt fragrant and refreshed, and Yun Jin herself felt much cleaner and fresher.

It was a bit hot, so He Tingchuan washed the fan and took it out to use. As the fan blew, Xiao Niangao fell asleep with her arms and legs spread out, with a towel covering her belly to keep it warm.

He Tingchuan and Yun Jin slept side by side, and soon the two embraced.

After a while, I took the small rice cakes and red bean buns, along with the fan, outside. I couldn't let the small rice cakes get too hot.

He Tingchuan drew the curtains. The young couple didn't care whether it was day or night. As long as they kept it to themselves, no one would know what they were doing.

Little Nian Gao woke up from her nap to find herself sleeping in the living room. She rubbed her eyes and asked, "Mommy, Daddy?"

Hearing the noise, He Tingchuan opened the door and the window to let in some fresh air. Looking at his adorable daughter who had just woken up, he picked her up and asked, "What's wrong?"
