Mrs. Kong asked as she walked slowly. It was not that she was unwilling to walk faster, but her body would not allow it. This was still her fastest speed.

"It's me, Zhuangzhuang is back~"

Zhuangzhuang put his ear against the door, listening to what was happening inside, and then shouted happily.

When Mrs. Kong heard the strong voice, she suddenly became energetic and her pace, which had been slow just now, suddenly accelerated.

The same was true for Confucius, who was lying on the rocking chair. When he heard that his beloved disciple had returned, he sat up suddenly, and instantly everything was unobstructed.

"So strong~"

His two feet were busy getting down to the ground to put on his shoes, his excited face was flushed even under his beard, and he didn't forget to respond to the calls outside.

Seeing that the old woman couldn't open the door after hammering for a long time, he couldn't help but urge her, "Hurry up."

"knew!"

Mrs. Kong squinted at the lock on the door. She was old and had presbyopia, so she couldn't find the lock even with the key.

Hearing his occasional urging, she rolled her eyes at him in disdain. He was still the same person who had a headache one moment, chest tightness the next, and was in low spirits.

"Master, Master's Wife, don't worry!"

Zhuangzhuang saw Mrs. Kong through the crack in the door. Seeing how anxious she was, he quickly comforted her and told her to take her time, while also giving her his sweet smile.

The moment Mrs. Kong behind the door heard it, her heart was soothed. Her hands stopped shaking, her eyes were no longer blurry, and she became more energetic, and quickly found the keyhole.

The moment I opened it, I felt even more disgusted with Confucius who came over. Zhuangzhuang was only four years old, but he could say such heartwarming words. How come he couldn't even fart after living for decades?

At the moment before the door opened, Xiaoguo quietly pulled Qin Anming back a few steps.

Qin Anming didn't quite understand the intention at first, but he soon understood. He was extremely grateful that Xiaoguo pulled him back, otherwise it would be so embarrassing to be squeezed down.

Zhuangzhuang opened his arms and stood in a horse stance the moment the door opened. Mr. Kong and Mrs. Kong didn't even have time to take out the key before they hugged the little man in front of them.

The first sentence, as expected, is the one I have heard the most since I came back.

"I miss you so much!"

Mrs. Kong and Master Kong vied with each other to hug Zhuangzhuang, and they fought from the door to the steps.

Qin Anming touched Xiaoguo quietly and looked at her to ask if she was sure this was the saint's house and that she had found the right place.

Xiaoguo nodded firmly, it’s genuine!

Mrs. Kong and Master Kong really seemed not to notice the two figures beside them. The three of them became their own little world, with only strength, strength and strength in their eyes.

"She's so white and plump, she's almost like a doll."

"What do you know? A young man should look like this, adorable! Besides, he will grow up to be a tall man!"

"That's true. Look, has Zhuangzhuang grown taller?"

"It's getting taller, it's really a big baby, come and let Master's wife hold you, I miss you so much, seeing us grow stronger, Master's wife can have an extra bowl of rice!"

"Master's wife, I miss you too. Seeing you makes me eat an extra bowl of rice."

"Oh~ Master missed you even more! Master felt like he was out of his mind these days, and only came back to life after seeing Zhuangzhuang."

"Master, I miss you so much every night that I can't sleep!"

"Good disciple, you are indeed the closest to your master!"

Confucius was not satisfied that his wife always had the most beautiful wife, so he began to compete with her for favor.

Mrs. Kong snorted and looked at him with disdain. You thought about it, right? I think about it more than you do!

"That's what I was thinking!"

"I want it more!"

"I think more than you do!"

"I think more than you think!"

“……...”

Mrs. Kong was so angry that her teeth were itching. This stubborn old man had to go against her and added the word "more" every time, leaving her really helpless!

Zhuangzhuang didn't offend anyone on either side, and he said a few kind words to each of them, instantly calming down the two angry people.

The two people who were sunbathing the salted fish looked at each other and said, "How about we leave?"

After an unknown amount of time, Mrs. Kong looked at Xiaoguo embarrassedly, and only then did she realize that there was a strange man there.

"Auntie, this is my brother, Qin Anming."

"Hello, Mrs. Kong."

Qin Anming was afraid at first that it was too abrupt, but it turned out that he was worrying too much. Confucius and the other two were much kinder than their reputation would suggest.

If you ignore their names, judging from the way they interact with each other, they seem like an ordinary old farming couple, simple and kind.

Mrs. Kong quickly invited a few people into the house and poured each of them a cup of cool tea, "Drink it quickly to cool down."

Xiaoguo thanked him and drank the tea in one gulp.

Although the weather is not very hot now, the residual heat should not be underestimated. In addition, the salted fish has been exposed to the sun for a long time, so the moisture has dried up long ago.

"By the way, bro~"

Qin An nodded in understanding and put the bucket on the table.

"Kelp~"

Mrs. Kong picked up the kelp and shook it in surprise.

Her favorite thing is kelp. She talked about it a few days ago, but I didn’t expect to receive it today.

"I thought kelp was good for the body, so I gave you some more."

Xiao Guo thought it would be better to explain it. She believed that kelp was good for the body. The second elder of the Kong family was already old and had no appetite for meat. Now only vegetarian food could be eaten.

At first, she was afraid that the other party would think she was not being authentic because there were so few seafoods but so many kelps. Unexpectedly, she was overthinking it, as the kelp actually played into the hands of the two elders Kong.

Mrs. Kong was very happy and explained to her that Mr. Kong had not had a good appetite recently and had no appetite for anything. The only thing he wanted to eat was cold kelp shreds.

But where could she find him? She went to the market several times but couldn't find him.

Confucius was clamoring for food again. Although he was very old, he was very picky. If he couldn't eat what he wanted, he would complain about it for a whole year.

With no other options, they could only prepare to write a letter and send it to the capital, asking their son to send some over.

Before they had the time to write, the small fruit was delivered to them, and it touched the hearts of the old couple.

"That's it! Now that old man finally stops nagging me."

Mrs. Kong said something meaningful, and Master Kong, who was teasing Zhuangzhuang at the side, suddenly blushed.

Some old man?

Then he secretly glanced at the others to see if they had noticed that the 'certain old man' she was talking about was actually himself.

After looking around and finding nothing, he breathed a sigh of relief. Before he closed his mouth, he met Zhuangzhuang's smiling gaze.

The blush on his face, which had just faded away, instantly turned red again.

Well, there is no way out for him. His image as a majestic saint is completely destroyed...

At noon, Xiaoguo and her friends were ready to leave, but seeing the pitiful look of the two elders Kong, she hesitated. Although she knew that they were most likely pretending, she still softened her heart.

After a moment of hesitation, the two elders immediately climbed up the pole, and they talked to each other about how lonely they were and how much they wanted to be strong...

Finally, the three of them couldn't refuse the invitation and stayed to have lunch together.

Zhuangzhuang also handed his diary to Kong Fuzi. He himself was not too nervous, but Xiaoguo was very nervous.

After all, this is Zhuangzhuang’s first holiday homework, and I don’t know if it will please Confucius.

When the inspection was in progress, the two were in the study, while Xiaoguo, Mrs. Kong, and Qin Anming were in the outer room. They had no idea what the situation was, whether it was good or not.

She was absent-minded, and only felt relieved when Zhuangzhuang came out with a happy face.

Looks like it passed, great.

"Then we'll go back first."

"Go back." Kong Fuzi nodded, then looked at Zhuangzhuang, "Take a good rest for a few days, gather your mind, and then come back to school."

"Okay, Master!"

Zhuangzhuang smiled and nodded, then looked at Madam Kong and said, "Master's wife, goodbye~ I will remember to miss you~"
