As the group approached the village entrance, they heard the man on duty at the watchtower excitedly shouting, "They're back! They're back!"
"The team that went to Yuhang is back!"
"Quickly, open the gate!"
Upon hearing this, everyone forgot all about Fan Dazhu and Zhang Chunhua's wedding and gathered at the village entrance.
Even Master Fan, who was originally heading towards Fan Qian's house, changed his mind and headed towards the village entrance, urgently saying to Fan Jin, who was supporting him, "Quickly, Jin, let's go check on the troops!"
While the joyous occasion of a nephew's family is important, it cannot compare to the livelihood of the entire family, especially since the fifth and sixth children are also in the procession.
Fan Jin followed without hesitation.
In an instant, the entrance was crowded with people.
However, due to the impact of the previous two incidents, now no matter how many people go out, they always enter the village first and close the gate before speaking when they return.
The villagers waited until everyone and every vehicle entered, and then the open space in front of the bookstore was immediately filled with people. Only after the village gate was closed did they hurriedly ask questions.
Shui Qing saw Wen Hua, but as the leader of the group, he was being questioned in detail by Master Fan.
Young men in the village had already run off to inform the old village chief. Shui Qing thought that Qin Yilin and Jiajia knew they were attending a wedding today and hadn't come to her house. Now that Ding and Li Wenhua had both returned, both families would definitely want to see them as soon as possible!
She looked up and shouted to the man on the watchtower, "Beat the gong! Let everyone in the village know that the traveler has returned."
This saves us the trouble of calling out to each and every household.
The man on the watchtower thought about it and agreed. These people probably wouldn't be able to go home anytime soon, so it would be faster to call them over!
Especially after they're called over, they'll know exactly what we talked about.
Without hesitation, he immediately struck the gong.
The continuous, clear, and resonant sound of the gong echoed throughout every corner of the village.
Hu Wenhua was pulled aside by Master Fan and many women for questioning. He patiently answered their questions, and taking advantage of his height and build, he scanned the crowd several times. When he did not see the person he was looking forward to, he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the sound of the gong.
No rush, you'll see him soon!
Fan He was the youngest and had the least free time. He saw his parents and younger sister first, jumped up, and ran over waving, his voice loud and clear: "Mom, Dad, and Little Sister! I'm back!"
Wanxia rushed over first, her eyes moist, and exclaimed excitedly, "Second Brother, I'm so glad you're back safe and sound!"
"Little sister, you have no idea how much I miss you all while I'm away. I really don't want to eat those fried noodles, pancakes, and dried meat anymore. I want to eat hot stew!"
Stewed pig's trotters, stewed old hen soup, stewed goose in an iron pot... if all else fails, a plate of stir-fried leafy greens will do.
When you're away from home, what you crave most is the food from home.
Shui Qing shook her head helplessly and laughed, "Then you'll have to talk to your older sisters later and ask them to make it for you."
"Mother, what about you?" Fan He asked, puzzled.
Does his value drop if he only comes back after being away for a month or two?
