As everyone guessed, she did have something going on at home, and she was a little impatient to see Song Yuanzhou, the man her family had been thinking about for more than ten years without any resentment, her biological father, who was said to look very much like her.

When I walked to the textile factory's family compound, I saw Song Ruyun and Song Zihao. What happened? Shouldn't they have been home long ago? Didn't they miss Song Yuanzhou? That shouldn't be the case.

When they looked up and saw Song Zhiyao appear, their eyes lit up and they looked very nervous. They must have been struggling with how to express their feelings when they saw Song Yuanzhou, so they just waited for her to go home together.

Knowing their purpose, he touched their heads, smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, just treat him normally when you see him. He just worked outside for more than ten years and is back home now.

I am usually away for that long, so when I come back you can treat him the same way you treated me."

With Song Zhiyao's gentle comforting words, the tension on the faces of the two siblings slowly disappeared.

As soon as the three siblings entered the compound, neighbors greeted them. They were much more enthusiastic than usual and talked about their father in all their words.

The neighbor who was truly happy for them said, "Zhiyao, Ruyun, Zihao, your father is back. Your family will have a better life in the future."

"Your father is still the same as before. He came back with a lot of things, which he bought especially for you."

Most of the neighbors wanted to see that they were doing well, but some wanted to find out where Song Yuanzhou had been all these years, and whether he had been arrested or escaped to some other place as rumored outside, and had only returned now that the law was relaxed.

No matter what they said or asked, Song Zhiyao and her two siblings just smiled and didn't answer. They didn't know much about Song Yuanzhou, and even if they knew everything, there was no need to tell them.

"Dear uncles and aunts, we are in a hurry to go home for a reunion. If there is anything you want to know, you can ask my dad another day." After saying that, Song Zhiyao pulled her younger brothers and sisters and hurried home.

She finally realized that the two little kids were waiting outside for her to come home because they were afraid of being asked questions by the neighbors.

Song Yuanzhou, who was at home, looked downstairs from time to time. He saw other children returning home one after another, but he did not see his own two children. Lai Yanling told him that Song Zhiyao often came home late because she was busy with work.

Song Ruyun and Song Zihao shouldn't be so late. Maybe something happened? Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still and planned to go find them.

Looking at the busy Lai Yanling, she said, "Yanling, I'm going to check on the two little ones. They haven't come home yet so late. Did something happen?"

My two children are good people and they will never suffer any loss. The reason they don’t come home so late is that I just don’t know how to face him.

Of course, she didn't say this to avoid making him sad. She turned around and didn't forget the work in her hands. "Don't worry about them. They must be waiting for their eldest sister to come back. The three siblings have a good relationship."

When he heard that they were waiting for their eldest daughter to come home together, he put his worries aside and started to help Lai Yanling pick vegetables. He had made no progress over the years and still couldn't tell which vegetables were edible and which were not.

This caused Lai Yanling to laugh at him again, "Song Yuanzhou, you still can't remember. I told you to throw away the head and keep the tender tail for stir-frying."

"Ahem, ahem, Yanling, I forgot again." Song Yuanzhou looked embarrassed.

Seeing this, Lai Yanling quickly picked up the broom to clean up. Seeing his self-blaming face, she sighed and said, "It's okay, everything is fine. These are not your forte. Just watch me from the side."

His coming back is more important than anything else. Like Song Zhiyao, he is not good at these jobs, so we can't force him to know everything.

After that, Song Yuanzhou sat quietly without saying a word. Lai Yanling saw that he was still full of self-blame and knew what he was thinking.

"I know you want to help me with the work. When you were at home, it took me a long time to teach you. Looking at your condition, I guess you haven't done these jobs for more than ten years. It's normal that you are not good at them. If you want to help me in the future, I will teach you again."

After she counseled him, Song Yuanzhou did not blame himself and just chatted with Lai Yanling about other things, mostly asking about the children. The repeated questions made her impatient and she yelled, "Song Yuanzhou, are you tired of asking the same question over and over again?"

Song Yuanzhou grinned when she yelled at him, "Hehehe, Yan Ling, I'm not nervous anymore when you yell at me."

Lai Yanling did not answer him, but just rolled her eyes at him and ignored him. At this time, Aunt Zheng from next door happened to come over, and Song Yuanzhou went out to greet her.

I haven't seen these neighbors for more than ten years, but they are still very friendly and want to chat about family matters. "Aunt Zheng, you have lived a good life these years. You look rosy, and Dazhu seems to be very filial."

Aunt Zheng has been living really well recently. After Niu Niu recovered from her illness, there is no quarrel in their family. She is in a good mood, eats well, and looks naturally good.

Aunt Zheng also began to look at Song Yuanzhou and found that he looked much older than before. He must have suffered a lot outside over the years. She thought of the high-spirited Professor Song back then.

But that was all in the past. He said with a look of emotion, "Yuan Zhou, it has not been easy for Yan Ling and her son these years. You must treat them well when you come back. Your biological mother came to cause trouble not long ago."

Afterwards, Aunt Zheng told the story about how Niu Dahong had come to their house to make trouble every now and then in recent years, how some people in the staff compound often bullied Lai Yanling, and how Luo Meixin also came back to make trouble from time to time. She told the story one by one about everything she knew.

After listening to this, Song Yuanzhou's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, which quickly disappeared, and a smile appeared on his face. "Aunt Zheng, thank you for telling me this. I wouldn't have known it if you hadn't told me."

"I knew Yanling would never tell you this. Don't blame me for being nosy. I just don't want to suffer any injustice from them. Not only that, your Zhiyao is our family's benefactor." Aunt Zheng said and left.

Song Yuanzhou sat there thinking, thinking about something related to Niu Dahong, how could she be so cruel? Then don't blame him for being rude, people always have to pay the corresponding price for what they have done.

At this moment, Song Yuanzhou had a blank expression on his face and his eyes were cold. If anyone saw him, they would definitely be scared.

After hearing the footsteps, Song Yuanzhou returned to normal. There were three footsteps. He was sure that they were his children. He showed a loving smile on his face and quickly walked to the door.

What caught his eyes were the children he had missed for so long. The three of them stood side by side at the door. They were still children when he left, but now they have grown so big.

I had heard Lai Yanling say before that her eldest daughter looked like him. Now I see that they do look alike, but his aura is stronger than when he was 20 years old.
