"Knock knock knock-knock knock knock-" Who else would knock on the door at this time? The shop in front had already closed and was not doing business.

"Who is it?" After soaking the rice to be ground tomorrow morning, Cao Dapeng was ready to go back to his room to sleep, but he heard a knock on the door. He walked over with confusion in his eyes and asked loudly.

"Dapeng, it's me, Sun Ji." The person outside the door answered.

"Aji!" Cao Dapeng heard it, strode over, opened the door, and saw the person who came back outside. He smiled happily and said, "Hey, Aji, Sun Jing, when did you guys come back?"

"We just got off the boat and knew you were here, so we came here." Sun Ji said.

"Brother Dapeng." Sun Jing and his friends were younger, so they all called Cao Dapeng brother.

"Hey, come in quickly, have you guys eaten yet?" Cao Dapeng turned around and called out, "Uncle Sun, Uncle Sun, Aji and the others are back, come out quickly." After calling out, he hurriedly opened the door to let Sun Ji and the others in.

"Your father is also here, we all live here now." Cao Dapeng thought Sun Ji didn't know, so he hurriedly said.

"Yes, I know, my father wrote to me saying you were here." Although he was in Nanyang, Sun Ji also knew about the situation here from the letters from his father and Cao Xiangnan, and naturally knew that his father had moved to the town to live now.

He originally thought of returning at the end of this month, but since there was nothing to do in the early and late days, he decided to return a few days earlier. He was worried about his grandfather and grandmother being at home.

"Oh, that's how it is." Cao Dapeng led a few people in and said, "You didn't eat anything on the boat, right? You must be hungry, right? There are vegetables in the kitchen. I'll go and fry some vegetables for you to eat with noodles."

"Don't bother, we've already eaten something on the boat." Sun Ji had a backpack on his back, and the others were all wearing simple clothes. They had rushed back from Nanyang. They had only two sets of clothes when they left, and they only brought two more sets of clothes when they came back.

"Yes, Brother Dapeng, we've already eaten something," said Sun Sheng.

Sun Jing, Sun Bing and others followed him in. They all followed Sun Ji back from Nanyang, and no one stayed behind.

The son is back? !

Sun Yanshan, who had just laid down in the house and had not fallen asleep yet, heard the sound and threw back the quilt. He also remembered grabbing the coat beside him and putting it on. He walked out of the house and saw his son who had returned at a glance. His face was filled with indescribable excitement.

"Dad." Sun Ji strode over, held Dad's hand and called out.

This "Dad" was a way of missing his family day and night outside. Thinking about his father who was far away in his hometown, now that he was back, he finally saw the family he missed.

"I'm back. Xiao Jing, Xiao Bing and the others are back." Sun Ji looked back. He took the cousins ​​out and brought them back safely.

"Uncle Yanshan." Voices came one after another, shouting.

After going out, everyone has changed a little bit. Everyone seems to have grown up all of a sudden. Being outside is different from being at home. With the care of dad and mom, people only know that the outside world is different when they go out.

"Hey, you're back, it's good to be back." Seeing that the boys who came back were all energetic, knowing that they were doing well outside, Sun Yanshan was relieved.

The two boys in the room heard the noise outside and got up from the bed and walked out. When they were working in the store, Sun Ji was not here, but they had seen Sun Ji before and knew that he was Sun Bo's son, so they all called him "Brother Sun". It was cold at night and the wind was strong outside. Sun Ji led his sons into the house and saw that there was nothing to do, so he asked the two boys working in the store to go to bed first. The two boys saw the father and son reunion, came out to call people and went back to sleep.

Although Sun Ji and his friends said no, thinking that there was still meat and vegetables in the kitchen and they were afraid that they were hungry, Cao Dapeng still insisted on cooking them a bowl of noodles.

Although they had eaten something on the boat, it was just dry food all day. Now they had something hot to eat, so Sun Jing and the others all ran to the kitchen to help. They were not shy about asking for anything to eat. The half-grown boys ate their father to death, and the teenagers were just at the age when they had a big appetite and wanted to eat. Cao Dapeng happily cut a large piece of meat and put it in the pot for them.

Sun Ji was talking to his father in the house. When he saw the few people running away, he smiled and let them go.

From his father's words, Sun Ji also knew some things that happened in the village during the days when they were not in Caojia Village.

"Well, that's great. We don't have to go hungry this year." Sun Ji smiled when he heard his father say that the village chief led everyone into the mountains to hunt, pick wild vegetables and mushrooms, and pick chestnuts to add some food to the villagers in winter.

The most profound impression of winter every year is hunger. He eats one or two bowls of rice porridge every day, and he has to think about saving food for grandma, grandpa, and his father. He is always hungry.

But he thinks that from now on, they will no longer have to go hungry.

This winter, the lonely elderly and some families in the village will arrange to live in the academy, and Sun Ji also knows it. In his heart, he knew who was responsible for all the changes in Caojia Village, including their family being able to pay off all the debts, and that Sun Ji was able to have what he had today, all because of Cao Xiangnan.

If it weren't for Cao Xiangnan, he thought that Sun Ji would have spent his whole life in Caojia Village, being a little smart, but not smart enough, and spending his whole life toiling in Caojia Village. Later, Sun Ji felt lucky more than once that he had helped Cao Xiangnan. This unintentional act changed his life and also changed their Sun family.

"Okay, let's eat noodles. There's nothing to eat in the kitchen right now, so just make do." Several large bowls of noodles were cooked, with a layer of meat slices on top. Cao Dapeng also picked some fresh bean sprouts to go with it.

"No, no, no, Brother Dapeng, this is already very good." There were noodles, meat, and vegetables. They used to have such good food only during the New Year and other festivals. They were very satisfied to have a bowl of noodles.

"It's delicious."

"Yeah." After a day of eating dry food, the group sat down and took a bite of hot noodles. They all felt that it was very delicious.

Seeing the boys eat a large bowl of noodles in big mouthfuls, and there was not even a bit of soup left in the end, Cao Dapeng had a big smile on his face. Later, he wanted to clean up the dishes, and Sun Jing and Sun Bing rushed to do it.

"It's getting dark, you should stay here tonight and sleep, and go back tomorrow." It was getting dark, and Sun Yanshan didn't let his son and nephews rush back to the village. It didn't matter if they went back for one night, so they stayed here for one night and went back tomorrow.

"Okay." Going back, grandpa and grandma were already asleep, and he would have to wake them up, so Sun Ji just stayed here.

He stayed, and the others followed suit.
