After more than a day of travel, we finally arrived at the Tan family villa at night.
The car slowly drove into the gate of the old house of the Tan family in Pengcheng. Tan Xiangchen was silent all the way. At this moment, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar building and the road leading to his home, his expression gradually became nervous, and his hands unconsciously clenched the corners of his clothes.
Li Yuzhu, who was sitting next to him, noticed his abnormality, reached out and gently held his hand, comforting him: "Don't be nervous, your family must miss you very much. For so many years, everyone thought you were gone, and now you've miraculously returned. I'm really afraid that the elderly people at home will be too excited to bear it."
Tan Xiangchen nodded gently, and the fragments of memory gradually pieced together in his mind. A trace of regret flashed in his eyes, realizing how stupid and unfilial he was back then, and how cruelly he abandoned his parents.
"Look, those children, Erbao, Sanbao, and Qibao..." Li Yuzhu pointed out the window with a gentle smile on her face and a look of maternal love in her eyes. "They are all our Zhengchu's children. Although you didn't participate much in their growth in the past, there is still a lot of time in the future. We can make up for it as a family."
Tan Xiangchen looked at the children, his expression gradually softened, and a gleam of love appeared in his eyes.
In the yard of the old house, five children including Erbao, Sanbao and Qibao were being led by Old Mrs. Tan.
When they saw the car slowly driving in, their eyes lit up instantly and they jumped up and down with excitement.
"It's Dabao and Liubao brothers who are back!" Erbao shouted excitedly, his voice clear and pleasant.
"Yes, yes, I'm finally back!" Sanbao also cheered and laughed from ear to ear.
Tan Zhengchu, who was standing by, raised his lips slightly. He did not tell his family in advance about his father's return, because he wanted to give everyone a big surprise.
Seeing the children's excitement, Mrs. Tan also smiled brightly. She nodded and said loudly, "It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back. You missed me so much."
Erbao, Sanbao, Qibao and other children ran towards the car like a group of happy little deer. When they saw Dabao and Liubao in the car, they all jumped on it and chattered non-stop:
"Brother Dabao, you're finally back. We all missed you so much!"
"Brother Liubao, where did you go this time? Did you bring us any delicious food?"
Old Mrs. Tan stood there, staring at the car. She felt like a piece of her heart was missing, empty, after not seeing her grandchildren for a few days.
Now seeing them return safely, she truly felt how good it feels to have someone care about you and accompany you.
She secretly swore in her heart that no matter what she said, she would never let Dabao and Liubao get into any trouble again, and she must keep the whole family together.
The luxury car finally drove slowly into the Tan family's parking lot and stopped steadily.
The servant who was waiting on the side hurried forward and respectfully opened the car door.
The first to get off the car were Liubao and Dabao, both with bright smiles on their faces. They stood beside the car, their eyes full of anticipation, looking at the other companions in the car.
At this time, Qibao, Erbao, Sanbao and other five children had been waiting not far away. When they saw Liubao and Dabao get off the car, they immediately cheered excitedly and ran towards them like a group of happy deer.
Qibao was the first to throw himself into Liubao's arms, hugging him tightly and crying, "Brother Liubao, I miss you so much!"
Erbao also hugged Dabao and said coquettishly: "Brother Dabao, why did you take so long? I missed you so much!"
Several other children also gathered around them, some holding their hands, some hugging their legs, and talking in unison about how much they missed them.
Liubao patted Qibao's little hand gently and said tenderly: "Qibao, dear, brother misses you too."
Dabao also smiled and touched Erbao's head, saying, "Erbao, stop making trouble. Brother is back and misses you guys too."
At this time, Mrs. Tan came slowly over, surrounded by her family. Her eyes were full of concern. As soon as she came to Liubao and Dabao, she reached out and held them, examining them carefully from head to toe.
"My dear child, your trip out has made grandma worried to death. Did you fall or get hurt?" Old Mrs. Tan asked nervously.
After saying that, Mrs. Tan's face darkened, and she angrily scolded, "You two, too. How could you just run out on your own? It's so dangerous out there, and you didn't even tell your family. It really makes me angry and anxious!"
When Liubao and Dabao heard this, they lowered their heads and said a little embarrassedly: "Grandma, we know we were wrong. We will never do this again. Please don't be angry."
Tan Zhengchu stood aside, watching this heartwarming scene, and suddenly said with a smile: "Grandma, I want to tell you a good news."
When Mrs. Tan heard this, her eyes lit up immediately. She looked up and down at Tan Zhengchu and Su Yingxue standing beside him, and a smile blossomed on her face. She said in surprise, "Is Yingxue pregnant?"
Tan Zhengchu was stunned at first, then burst into laughter: "Grandma, what are you thinking? It's not that far yet."
After hearing what Old Lady Tan said, Su Yingxue's face suddenly turned red to her ears. She gently pushed Tan Zhengchu and said angrily, "You only know how to joke around. You made Grandma misunderstand you."
Tan Zhengchu smiled and dodged Su Yingxue's push while explaining to his grandmother: "Grandma, it's another good thing. Please don't make blind guesses."
However, in front of his elders, Tan Zhengchu restrained himself a little and didn't dare to play around with Su Yingxue too much. He just spoke to his family in a soft voice, maintaining the necessary composure.
While everyone was talking, Mrs. Tan's eyes inadvertently glanced at a place not far behind Tan Zhengchu. She rubbed her eyes, not quite believing her eyes. There, there was a man wearing a mask, and his figure looked somewhat similar to her son, Tan Xiangchen, whom she missed day and night.
Mrs. Tan's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly shook her head and thought to herself, "I must be missing my son too much and hallucinating. How could Xiang Chen appear right in front of me all of a sudden?"
However, Tan Zhengchu turned his gaze to the masked man and said softly, "Dad, come here."
Old Mrs. Tan followed Tan Zhengchu's gaze, and her eyes widened instantly, with tears welling up in her eyes.
She was so excited that her voice trembled a little: "Xiang Chen, is that you? It's really you!"
Tan Xiangchen heard his mother calling him and walked quickly towards his parents. He walked up to Mrs. Tan, hugged her and said in a choked voice, "Mom, I'm back. I'm sorry for making you and Dad worry. I missed you so much."
