Meng Daqiang's loud voice came from the yard.
"Already here? Come on, go and bring the person in. I'll watch over here." Ling Hanfang said hurriedly.
"Well, thank you for taking care of it." Meng Qidi turned and walked towards the yard.
In the yard, Meng Daqiang was full of joy. Meng Qidi said, "Dad, why are you here? Didn't I say to pack the lotus roots at home first?"
"It's okay, it's okay. A car has already gone to our house. Your grandparents are watching at home. Hurry up, go out and check." Meng Daqiang urged his daughter.
Meng Qidi looked at him suspiciously and walked out.
"What's the matter, father-in-law, do you really have to let Xiaoqi go out? Can't they just come in?" Wang Jinhua asked in confusion after hanging up the clothes and wiping her hands.
"Surprise! Definitely a surprise." Meng Daqiang laughed, his face full of joy.
"By the way, mother-in-law, I cut two pounds of meat and put it on the table in the main room to cook for lunch. Yes, isn't Xiaoqi going to catch fish today? It happens to be so. I'll go get one and help cook it. We'll also have lotus root and pork ribs soup. This is a good day for a bumper harvest."
After hearing what Meng Daqiang said, Wang Jinhua smiled and said, "That's right, Xiaoqi has worked hard. I will make a few more of my specialties. It just so happens that you, the captain, and the villagers all stayed for dinner."
"Okay! Then I'll go to the front yard to take a look." And watch out, make sure those people don't dig up the lotus roots and break them.
On this side, Meng Qidi walked out of the courtyard gate, and two cars had just adjusted their front ends and stopped opposite the bridge, and several men jumped out of the cars.
Meng Qidi's eyes fell on the person getting off the car behind her, and she walked over suspiciously. When the person turned around, Meng Qidi paused, "Ling Xiao?"
Why did he come back?!
"Captain, is this your home? It's so beautiful. Just this courtyard gate is so impressive."
"This waterwheel is really beautiful, but there is not much water in the stream."
"By the way, is it your sister who is coming here now?"
Several young guys said with a smile,
younger sister?
Ling Xiao closed the car door and turned his head to look towards the bridge. After not seeing her for a long time, the girl crossing the bridge looked much whiter and had a more outstanding figure.
The guys were very excited. If they had known that the company commander had such a beautiful sister, they would not have called him the King of Hell behind his back.
"That's my wife." Ling Xiao walked over, his eyes softening.
The smiles on the faces of several guys froze. No way, Ling Yanwang’s wife, this sister-in-law is so young and beautiful?
No wonder he had to run back with me, it turned out that he was using his official position to seek personal gain and come back to see his wife...
"Why are you back? No wonder my dad is so crazy and so happy."
Meng Qidi's voice was filled with a hint of coquettishness. She just carried some lotus roots and ran back in person, not even complaining about being tired.
"These people don't know where your home is, and they're not familiar with you. Shen Xing is also busy, so I just came back. I received everything you sent last time."
Ling Xiao raised his hand and naturally removed the bamboo leaves from her hair. His heart, which had been anxious to go home in the car, suddenly calmed down.
"What are you doing?" The man's familiar movements made Meng Qidi blush slightly. She reached out and gently tugged at his clothes, "Let them in."
Ling Xiao turned his head and glanced at the people standing stupidly by the bridge, and asked casually, "Does your family live in Qitang?"
"Well, prepare to catch fish and dig lotus roots."
Ling Xiao then raised his voice and said, "Why are you all standing there? Go to the front yard and help dig lotus roots and catch fish."
They had wanted to go in and take a look for a long time, but no one dared to come over until King Ling gave the order. As soon as he said this, several people trotted into the yard, followed by exclamations.
Meng Qidi poked his arm in annoyance, "Why are you so fierce? Go in quickly, if mom knew you were back, she would definitely be happy."
The woman's touch made him tense instantly, and a tingling sensation flowed through his limbs, making his fingertips slightly warm.
His voice was slightly hoarse, and he unconsciously clenched his fingers, "Well, she hasn't seen the grown-up appearance yet, so she probably won't recognize it."
"Then why are you standing there? Come in quickly." Seeing him dithering, Meng Qidi simply reached out to pull him, "Don't tell me you're still homesick..."
Being pulled away by the woman, Ling Xiao's eyes fell on the two people's tightly clasped hands. He unconsciously tightened his grip a little. He nodded gently, "Yeah, a little nervous."
Her hands were small and soft, as if they had no bones. He could break them with just a little force. If he were to hold her in his arms, they would probably be too soft...
"What are you thinking about? I'm asking you a question!" Meng Qidi said in a low voice, a little annoyed, and it was obvious that she had asked the same question several times.
"What?"
Ling Xiao came back to his senses, feeling a little uncomfortable. Why did he suddenly have such a beastly thought? As expected, after being with that group of bachelors for a long time, his thoughts became a little...
Meng Qidi said unhappily, "I want to ask you, has Jin Yue arrived in Beijing? Has she found you?"
I don’t know what he was thinking about. He was so distracted even after returning home. Could it be that he had someone he liked outside?
I miss him so much right after we separated, so why did he come back? Look, my parents are not in a hurry, lifelong events are more important...
"I found it. Shen Xing arranged it for her." Ling Xiao came back to his senses and quickly calmed down. He was even able to turn from being passive to active. He held her hand and pulled her into the courtyard.
The chrysanthemums in the yard were blooming beautifully, not much different from when I left.
"Do they know each other? Yes, they should know each other." Meng Qidi didn't realize anything was wrong and let him pull her into the house.
Shen Xing had taken care of Ling Xiao in Lingjia Village, so he should be familiar with Jin Yue.
The main room was brightly lit, and the little girl's innocent voice came from behind. Ling Xiao led his people to the back as if they were familiar with the place, with no intention of letting them go.
"mom."
Wang Jinhua was cutting vegetables when she heard her daughter-in-law calling her. She stopped and turned around to see a man and a woman standing at the door.
The woman was of course Xiaoqi, and the man looked somewhat familiar. They clasped hands tightly, and Wang Jinhua was stunned for a moment.
"Mom? What's wrong?" A sly smile flashed across Meng Qidi's eyes.
Obviously, the old lady had been blind for decades and had never seen her son grow up. She must be dumbfounded at this moment.
"Uncle! Uncle is back!" The little girl excitedly threw down the fire tongs and ran towards Ling Xiao and the others.
Uncle? Wang Jinhua came back to her senses, her pupils shrank, her voice trembled, and she spoke incoherently, "Ling... Ling Xiao? Why is he back?"
Seeing her son grow up for the first time, Wang Jinhua came over excitedly and touched her son's face with trembling hands...
"Mom..." Ling Xiao's eyes were slightly moist. She could really see it. Xiao Qi really did it...
Half an hour later, several people sat down in the kitchen, including Ling Xiao and his wife, Wang Jinhua and her grandchildren, and Meng Daqiang.
The son and daughter-in-law sat together like a pair of lovers. Wang Jinhua felt that they were a perfect match and that God was finally treating her well...
The Ling family finally survived...
Meng Daqiang was talking excitedly, Ling Xiao was listening with a smile, his eyes fell on Meng Qidi, Meng Qidi was teasing the little girl...
The small kitchen was filled with warmth and coziness. Wang Jinhua smiled softly, and stir-frying with the spatula in her hand became easier.
