The sunlight shines into the living room, making it warm.
The Zhou family sat around on the sofa, all with smiles on their faces.
When Zhou's father and mother looked at the Chen sisters, they were very happy, especially when they knew that Chen Qiaoyi was pregnant, they couldn't stop smiling.
Father Zhou was particularly kind today, not as serious as usual. He smiled and asked Zhou Ziwen, "Ziwen, how are you doing in the countryside? Tell us about it."
Zhou Ziwen nodded happily and began to tell the story of his time at the mushroom cultivation base.
He described vividly how he led the villagers to grow mushrooms, how they overcame difficulties together, and how he finally made everyone's wallets fatter.
He talked about how he worked hard with the villagers, how he taught them how to grow mushrooms, and how he solved the problems they encountered.
Although he didn't say much about the technical aspects because he knew his family might not understand, he still explained it vividly.
After hearing this, Father Zhou's eyes were filled with pride. He patted Zhou Ziwen on the shoulder and said, "Ziwen, you did a good job. Dad is very proud. The fact that you can help everyone get rich shows that you have really grown up and have a sense of responsibility."
Mother Zhou also nodded and said gently, "Yes, Ziwen, you did a good job. Qiaoyi is pregnant, you have to take good care of her and continue to work hard so that they can live a good life."
When she said this, Zhou's mother actually felt very sorry for her son.
But in front of her daughter-in-law and her sister, no matter how distressed she was, she couldn't show it.
Zhou Ziwen smiled and nodded, then said, "Dad, Mom, don't worry, I will work hard."
Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi felt warm and happy when they heard this. Chen Qiaoyi touched her belly and said with a smile: "Mom and Dad, Ziwen treats me very well, you don't have to worry."
Seeing their son suddenly become sensible and marry such a well-behaved wife, Zhou's father and mother were filled with joy.
Mother Zhou looked at the two sisters tenderly and asked with concern, "Shiying, Qiaoyi, how are you living in the countryside? Are you used to it?"
Chen Shiying smiled and shook her head. "Auntie, although it's a bit tiring in the countryside, after Ziwen assigned us to the Mushroom Group, the work is actually very easy."
Chen Qiaoyi also nodded and said, "Yes, Mom, we have learned a lot. Brother Ziwen is very kind to us, and the villagers are very friendly. We feel very warm here."
After hearing this, Zhou Ma's smile grew even sweeter. "Then I'm relieved. You should make sure to rest and don't get too tired. Qiaoyi, you're pregnant now, so you need to get more rest."
Chen Qiaoyi said obediently, "Mom, I will pay attention. Brother Ziwen takes good care of me and doesn't let me do heavy work."
Mother Zhou smiled and said, "That's good. Ziwen is a sensible child. I believe he will take good care of you."
In Zhou Ma's heart, her own son is of course the best.
Especially Zhou Ziwen, he has been the most favored in the family since he was a child. Even the youngest Zhou Xiaomei cannot compare to him in this respect.
After chatting for a while, it was time for Zhou's father to go to work.
Before leaving, he said to Zhou Ma, "Mother, it's a great joy that Ziwen has returned with his wife and sister-in-law. We should celebrate. Go to the eldest and second sons' homes and tell Xiaomei and Huifang to come to our house with their families for dinner after get off work."
After hearing this, Zhou Ma nodded immediately, her face filled with joy: "Okay, I'll go inform them right away."
She was the happiest person when her son suddenly came back.
After Zhou's father left, Zhou's mother said hello to the Chen sisters and then went out.
After Zhou's father and mother left, the Chen sisters seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and relaxed completely.
Zhou Ziwen noticed their little movements and asked with a smile: "How is it? Do you feel okay meeting my parents?"
Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi sat on the sofa with relaxed smiles on their faces.
Chen Shiying spoke first: "Ziwen, uncle and aunt are really kind, especially aunt, her smile makes people feel so warm."
Chen Qiaoyi nodded as well. "Yes, although I was a little nervous at first, seeing how much they cared about us, I felt relieved. Although Dad looked serious, he was also very kind to us."
Zhou Ziwen smiled and nodded: "I told you, my parents are very nice people. See, I was right!"
"Yeah." The two sisters nodded at the same time.
Zhou Ziwen looked at the Chen sisters. After such a long journey, they returned home and met their parents again. Now they looked a little tired.
Zhou Ziwen saw this and felt a little distressed.
"Look how tired you are. You must be exhausted after sitting in the car for so long. Come, I'll take you to rest." Zhou Ziwen spoke softly, stood up and took the two sisters to his old room.
He gently pushed open the door. The room was not big, but it was tidy and clean.
A bed was placed against the wall, its bedding neatly folded. A desk, scattered with a few books and an old lamp, sat by the window. Photos hung on the wall told of his past. This small space was filled with warmth and tranquility.
"This is the room I lived in when I was a child. Although I have moved to the countryside now, my mother still often comes to clean it, so it is very clean. You can rest here with peace of mind." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
The Chen sisters looked at the layout of the room curiously, but they were indeed a little tired at the moment and did not have much energy to pay attention to these things. They just wanted to fall asleep.
Zhou Ziwen came to the kitchen and prepared hot water and towels for them. "You can wash first with the water here. After washing, you can rest."
"Yes." The two sisters nodded obediently.
After washing up, the two sisters lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep in a short while.
Zhou Ziwen tiptoed to the door and looked at them sleeping soundly, feeling soft in his heart.
He closed the door quietly without making any sound.
After the two sisters fell asleep, Zhou Ziwen returned to the living room and sat on the sofa to think about things.
After several days of travel, he finally returned home.
He has a strong physique and doesn't feel tired at this moment.
I simply opened the hang-up panel and checked the data on it.

The stonemason's skill reached level five a few days ago.
With his current skills, he is almost as good as Master Chen in the village.
Zhou Ziwen shifted his gaze away from the auto-switch panel, exhaled lightly, and closed the panel.
He looked around the familiar living room, where every furnishing carried memories of his growing up.
I haven't been home for more than a year. Everything here seems to have not changed, but it also seems to have changed.
The sofa is still the same sofa, and the coffee table is still in the same place, but the tea set on it has been changed to a new style.
The clock on the wall is still ticking, recording the passage of time. (End of this chapter)
