There was still a faint afterglow in the west. It was getting dark. A large ship docked and a group of people got off the ship and returned to Fenshui Town. After getting off the ship, Cao Xiangnan led everyone to Yipinzhai, said hello to Manager Liu, and borrowed a carriage to go back to Caojia Village.

"I'll come again early tomorrow morning." After saying a few words to Manager Liu, Cao Xiangnan promised Manager Liu that he would come early tomorrow morning.

He had been gone for so many days, and Manager Liu could not take care of this place. This trip to Nanyang took more than ten days, which was much longer than his original plan of going for three or five days and coming back. If he hadn't insisted on returning home to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, I'm afraid he would have been left there.

"Okay, we'll talk about the rest tomorrow. It's getting dark, you guys should go back early." Shopkeeper Liu didn't want to keep Cao and the others, knowing that Cao would come tomorrow.

The recipes for making mooncakes and new dishes had already been sent over from Nanyang. The mooncakes in the building had been made and started to sell a few days ago. The mooncakes made in the past few days can't keep up with the sales. The business in the building has been particularly good recently. There

are a lot of things to do in the building. Although there are new dish recipes, it would be better to have someone familiar to guide them.

"Then we'll leave." After getting on the carriage, Cao Xiangnan and Shopkeeper Liu waved, and the carriage left.

The carriage was going back to Caojia Village. The road from the village was almost built to the town. The road was flat and wide, and the return trip was faster than usual. So it was worth spending so much manpower and material resources to build a road.

The sun had set, and the mountains in the distance were blurred. Their carriage returned to Caojia Village.

"Come on..." The carriage stopped in front of his house, and a group of people got off the carriage.

The door of the small courtyard was already closed. If they came back later, everyone in the house would have gone to bed.

Hearing the noise outside, Wang Dahu, who was at the opposite door, opened the door and ran out. Seeing the group of people coming back, he shouted loudly, "I knew you were back. I guessed it right."

"Dahu." Cao Xiangnan saw Wang Dahu coming towards him, and also saw Cao Gang and Liu Baishu coming out from behind. They greeted each other.

"You're back."

"Why did you take so long?"

"Something delayed me. I'll tell you guys later."

The person in the house looked in the direction of the door first. He seemed to hear the voice of his husband. Qi Wanfeng's heart moved. When he walked out, he saw two dogs circling at the door, wagging their tails. He quickened his pace and walked over. The door was opened, and the two dogs jumped out first, whimpering around their owner and wagging their tails.

"Wanfeng." Cao Xiangnan looked up and saw the person standing in the door. In such a moment, there was only this person in his eyes. He smiled, strode towards him, stretched out his hand to hold Wanfeng's hand, and said with a smile, "I'm back."

"Yeah." Qi Wanfeng nodded, his eyes looking straight at his husband who had returned.

He waited day by day, counted day by day, watched the crescent moon grow bigger and bigger, and wondered when his husband who was far away would come back. Suddenly, his husband came back when the sun was setting and it was getting dark.

Several children at home heard the noise outside and ran out together.

"Dad, Dad..."

"Uncle Xiangnan."

"Uncle Xiangnan."

Cao Xiangnan stretched out his hand and touched the heads of several children. His little An'an came to act coquettishly with him as a father, and he did not ignore his children. But he didn't let go of Wanfeng's hand. The pads of his thumb rubbed the back of the man's hand. He looked at the person he thought about deeply and didn't forget that there was a group of people standing behind him.

Thinking of how he had eaten something casually on the boat. He had food at home all the time and could get something to eat at any time. Cao Xiangnan said, "No one on the boat has eaten anything. Why don't you come to my place to eat something before leaving, and I can make a bowl of noodles for everyone?"

"Okay, I happen to be hungry." Gan Weilin's mouth moved very quickly when he heard about the food.

Gan Weiqi said nothing.

"It's late, so we won't bother you. Xiao Bing and I will go home first." Sun Sheng glanced at Sun Bing. It was getting late, so they wouldn't bother here. After not going home for so long, he missed the people at home very much and wanted to go back as soon as possible.

"That's fine, you guys go back earlier." Cao Xiangnan knew that everyone was homesick, so he stopped them. A lot of things were brought back from the carriage, and he gave two to Sun Sheng and Sun Bing, asking them to take them home together.

The two couldn't refuse, so they had to take them.

The carriage entered the yard, and Wang Dahu untied the carriage and pulled the horses into the stable. There was leftover hay in the trough, and the horses ate it by themselves, and he didn't care.

"Have you guys been good at home? Have you listened to Mom?"

"Yes..."

"We are all very good."

"Xiangnan, I'll go to the kitchen to make noodles for you, you sit here for a while." Qi Wanfeng looked at her husband and the children talking, knowing that he was tired after the bumpy journey. Hearing that they didn't have anything to eat on the boat, he thought about going to the kitchen to make something for his husband. "I'll go, I'll cook faster, you take the kids back to the house and sleep." Cao Xiangnan stood up. He couldn't bear to let Wanfeng go into the kitchen to make noodles for him at this time. He said, "You should go back to the house and sleep first."

"This..." Qi Wanfeng glanced at his husband, then looked at the kids, and nodded.

Cao Xiangnan asked Qi Wanfeng to take the kids back to the house to sleep, and he went to the kitchen, followed by Cao Gang and the others. After kneading the dough, he pulled out the noodles with his hands. When the water in the pot boiled, he put them in and cooked them quickly. He beat a few eggs and put some vegetables on them.

A bowl of egg noodles was ready. They had eaten dry food all day on the boat and were hungry. Everyone sat down to eat the noodles that were still hot. Cao Gang and Liu Baishu didn't eat them unless they were hungry. Wang Dahu, who had just finished dinner, also had a bowl.

The last bit of light in the sky disappeared without a trace, and the oil lamp was lit.

While eating the noodles, Cao Xiangnan also told a few people about what happened in Nanyang. After eating a bowl of noodles, he finished talking.

"We'll go back first. You're tired, so go to bed early."

"Okay."

Cao Xiangnan sent the man out, closed the door to the yard, went back into the house, and bolted the door.

"Husband." The door of the room opened. Qi Wanfeng was still awake. He didn't hear any sound, so he knew that everyone had left, so he walked out.

"Why aren't you asleep yet? Didn't I tell you to go to bed first?" Cao Xiangnan took a few big steps over, took the man's hand, and led him into the house, and then took him to the bed, wanting him to go to bed first and not wait for him.

"I want to wait for you." Qi Wanfeng said.

"Yeah." His throat rolled, Cao Xiangnan bent down and kissed the man's lips, "You lie down first, I'll go take a shower and come back." He said.

"Okay." Qi Wanfeng nodded, lay down obediently and never got up again.

His body had been fine for some time. He ate well and slept well every day, and slept until dawn at night. But since her husband left, he didn't know if it was because of the pregnancy or because there was no one to accompany him, he would always wake up at night, and he didn't feel well and wasn't in a good mood.

Today, her husband is back, and he knew that he was outside, so he didn't feel sleepy even if he was lying in bed. He just wanted to wait for her to come back.

When he came back from a quick shower, the person on the bed was half lying there waiting for him, her eyes full of longing for him. At that moment, too many things rushed into his mind. Unable to hold back any longer, Cao Xiangnan strode over, bent down, and kissed the person's lips. The

hot kiss made him unable to resist, and he could only passively let his husband kiss him. He didn't know when his hand was on his husband's neck, intending to deepen the kiss, and he didn't want to let go of his husband who had come back after missing him for a long time.

Everything that happened later was logical, and only in this way could they relieve their lovesickness.

The panting gradually stopped, and the air was filled with the strong smell of lust. Although there was still restlessness in his body, Cao Xiangnan knew that this person's body was in a special condition, so he didn't dare to do anything rash. He just quenched his thirst and didn't dare to eat until he was satisfied.

"Wanfeng, I think about you every day, thinking about whether you and the children are doing well at home, and want to come back early to accompany you. I'm sorry that I've been away for so long." He lowered his head and kissed the man's forehead with wet hair. Cao Xiangnan's eyes were full of attachment, and he rubbed the man's face with his lips.

"Husband, I miss you too, very much, very much..." Qi Wanfeng raised his head and let Husband's lips fall on his lips. His body paused, and the next second, before his husband could pull away, he hooked Husband's lips.

"Husband, I can do it, you come."

"Wanfeng..."

Compared to the previous sexual intercourse, the latter one was much gentler, and Cao Xiangnan was afraid of hurting this person's body. Fortunately, the children in the belly were well-behaved and did not wake up to join his father and mother in the excitement. After going

into the house and calming down, Cao Xiangnan kissed the person with half-closed eyes, knowing that he was tired. He got up, and the water heated by the residual fire in the pot was still warm. He poured warm water to wipe Wanfeng's body dry. When he finished wiping the person, the person had already fallen asleep. After kissing the sleeping person, he also went to bed and hugged the person to sleep. In the middle of the night, the

sleeping person had cramps, and as soon as the person in his arms moved, Cao Xiangnan woke up and kneaded the soles of the feet and massaged the calves. The person with the leg cramp fell asleep again in a daze, probably because he was exhausted.

When Cao Xiangnan lay down again, he couldn't sleep. He didn't know whether the person had eaten well and slept well during the time he was not at home, and whether he would also wake up in the middle of the night with cramps like now. He seemed to have heard that in the later months of pregnancy, the legs will cramp and it will be difficult to sleep at night. He thought he would take the person to see Dr. Luo tomorrow.

After a long time, the person in his arms let out a long breath. Knowing that the person slept well, he fell into a deep sleep with peace of mind.
