"That's right! It's not that you have to report your return, but you've come all the way here, so it's rare for you to come back. Now that you're back, you should let everyone take a good look at you. Besides, that room has no one living in it, so it should be cleaned in advance. I'll give you some firewood or something."
"Yes, yes, I know everyone means well."
In a joyful and harmonious atmosphere, they entered the captain's house.
At home, Zhang Miaomiao and her mother Zhou Xuemei were busy cooking in the kitchen.
It was mainly done by Zhou Xuemei, with Zhang Miaomiao helping out.
Brothers Zhou Jianbin and Zhou Jianmin also went home to move tables and put out chairs.
When the other villagers entered the village, they said goodbye to the two men one after another. After all, they were back and could visit them anytime later.
Only the team leader and Feng Xiumei and her husband were left to carry their bags and lead them into the house.
——Zhuang Xiaobai sent his men to the village entrance, and when he saw the scene of the Hongsheng Brigade, he retreated with peace of mind.
"Don't bother, we can just go back and cook some porridge."
Shi Meiyun declined politely.
Feng Xiumei held her arm and said in a very tough manner: "What are you talking about! You came all the way back and you can't even have a hot meal? Even if you want to cook, you have to spend some time cleaning the pot and burning firewood. By the time you finish, the two children will have fainted from hunger. Why bother!"
Shi Meiyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but her heart was deeply moved.
Even though we are no longer together, the people here are still so warm.
Qiao Qingqing was much more confident and had given up refusing a long time ago. First of all, it was useless to refuse. Secondly, she felt that there was nothing wrong in having a meal at the captain's house as it was a kind gesture from the other party.
"Godmother! Grandma Shi!"
A teenage boy ran out with a simple smile on his face.
Qiao Qingqing's eyes lit up: "Zhuangzhuang, you've grown taller than Tangge!"
"Hehe..." Zhuangzhuang scratched his head, and then felt a little disappointed when he saw that there were no three familiar figures behind them.
"Godmother, haven't Qiao Qiao and the others come back yet?"
Qiao Qingqing said helplessly: "I came here to take them with me, but I don't know what your godfather said to them. The three of them suddenly changed their minds and said they would not come back this time and would come back next time."
What she could guess was that Lu Heng told the triplets that it would be difficult for her and her mother-in-law to take care of five children.
However, this alone may not be enough to convince the three of them. After all, this reason has been used before, but it didn't work. The three Baotais would fight back with the reason that they don't need anyone to take care of them.
Therefore, Qiao Qingqing still doesn't know how Lu Heng convinced the three of them.
Soon, Hongli and Xiaoxing also came out and called her godmother.
Qiao Qingqing prepared gifts for the children, but because she told her mother-in-law to leave the gifts for Lu Heng to mail back, she couldn't take them out for the time being.
Not long after, Zhou Xuemei and Zhang Miaomiao also brought the last two dishes to the table.
Zhou Jianmin's daughter-in-law is rather shy and usually doesn't live with her parents. It was almost time for dinner before Zhuangzhuang called his second aunt and his cousins.
"Qingqing, the first time I saw you, I felt that we were destined to be together. Look, it turned out to be true!"
Zhou Xuemei never had the chance to thank her in person. When she came back, she had gone back to her parents' home to take care of her sick mother. She missed her chance so regretfully.
When Zhou Xuemei learned about this from her mother-in-law, she earnestly said that she must tell Qiao Qingqing in advance the next time she comes back.
That's why Zhou Xuemei went to her in-laws' house to cook today.
She brought a lot of ingredients.
She did it not for any other reason, but just to thank Qiao Qingqing for helping her daughter get into college.
