Chapter 712 Arrival Home

Half an hour later, the carriage returning to Jinzhou met Chang Zhi who came out of the city to greet them. Zhou Shuren sat by the window while Chang Zhi's carriage went back side by side.

Zhou Shuren asked, "You met Jianyan, why didn't you wait there?"

Chang Zhi saw that his parents had a safe journey, and said in a cheerful tone: "I didn't see in person how worried you and your mother were. Instead of waiting, I decided to come here to welcome you with peace of mind."

Zhou Shuren's fingertips moved slightly. Now even Changzhi was thinking about them. This change was really pleasing. "Is everything okay at home?"

Changzhi sensed that his father was in a good mood and said with a smile, "Everything is fine. Mingteng's grades have also improved. He made a lot of progress on this small test."

Zhou Shuren snorted, "If this kid doesn't make progress, I'll post his grades on the gate of the main courtyard."

Changzhi chuckled. If he really stuck to the gate of the courtyard, it would be too tragic for Mingteng.

Changzhong woke up when he heard the voices. He rubbed his eyes with his fat hands and followed the voice to see his fourth brother. "Mom, I think of my fourth brother."

Zhulan took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her son's mouth. The boy drooled. "It's your fourth brother."

Changzhong cried out and quickly climbed to the car window. He had been with his fourth brother for a long time and he missed him a lot. "Fourth brother, fourth brother, I brought you a gift."

Changzhi looked at his younger brother who had gained a lot of weight. "Really? Thank you for the gift, brother."

Zhulan covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Don't thank me first, you won't be able to smile when you see me."

Another half an hour later, Zhulan finally arrived home. Li and others were already standing at the door. As soon as Zhulan got off the carriage, Li hugged her tightly. Zhulan, "......"

She hadn't seen Li so excited for a long time.

Li hugged her tightly. Yes, it was indeed her mother-in-law. "Mom, you are finally back."

She didn't get home on time, and she was so worried that she had all kinds of terrible thoughts in her mind and scared herself a lot.

Zhou Shuren said coldly, "Ms. Li, don't you know how powerful your hands are?"

Li quickly let go of her hand. She felt her father-in-law's eyes glaring at her. "Dad."

Zhulan chuckled and signaled Zhou Shuren not to scare Li, "Let's go."

Li carefully supported her mother, "Mom, you have worked hard along the way."

Zhulan smiled, "It's OK, are you guys home okay?"

Li said excitedly, "Okay, everything is fine, mother. I made a new snack. This time it looks very nice. The snack is like a flower. Mother, you must try it."

"Okay, I missed the snacks you made when I was in the capital."

Li was happy to hear this, "Mom, you didn't miss me."

Zhulan patted Li's hand and said, "I want to, I want to, too."

Zhao was listening behind her and answered, "Mother, the food is ready. Do you want to wash up first or eat first?"

Zhulan had been feeling a little hungry for a long time. As she was getting older, she would not eat enough at every meal, so she would be hungry soon. "Let's eat first."

Zhao knew that her elder sister-in-law was here, and she couldn't be as emotional as her elder sister-in-law. Since she couldn't get a word in, she went to do something else, "Mom, I'll go serve the meal."

Zhulan looked at Zhao and said, "Ah, thank you for your hard work."

Zhao smiled and said, "This is what a daughter-in-law should do."

At noon, they had lunch first. After lunch, Zhulan distributed the gems to each family. The gems for her granddaughters were also given to her daughters-in-law to use as dowries in the future.

Zhulan has always been impartial to her granddaughters. She does not favor any one over the other. She gives them all the same things and provides them with equal education.

Zhulan waited for her daughter-in-law and granddaughter to leave, then prepared to wash up. She wanted to go and see the dragon and phoenix twins with her own eyes later.

Li returned to the yard. She had only glanced at the gem in front of her mother-in-law. She returned to the yard and opened the box. Li carefully took out the gem and said, "It's so beautiful."

Yu Lu picked up one and said, "It's hard to find even in jewelry shops. It's no wonder it came from the palace."

Li carefully put it away, fearing that it might fall. She also took the gems from the girl's hand and put them away, "You keep all these gems. With these gems, your wedding dowry will be more beautiful."

Yu Lu said, "Mom, you don't have to give me what grandma gave you."

She felt sorry for her mother because her parents were under a lot of pressure because of her marriage to her eldest brother, and her mother hadn't changed her jewelry for a long time.

Li touched the lady's face. She hoped to give her more confidence. She was old, so it didn't matter whether she brought him or not. "You are ok. I am happy."

Second House, Zhao took the gem away and said, "I don't know where your father has gone."

Yu Shuang, "He should be back soon. I just received a letter two days ago."

Zhao touched the copied Buddhist scriptures. She copied them every day. Some of them were also written by her daughter and son. She hoped to take them to Lizhou as soon as possible. She hoped that her mother would not seek wealth and honor in her next life, but only seek a smooth life. "When your father comes back, I will go to the temple to perform a ritual for your grandmother."

Yu Shuang comforted her mother, "Mom, don't worry about it. You have lost a lot of weight these days."

Zhao was no longer sad, she just wanted to do something more for her dead mother, "Yeah."

After washing up, Zhulan took her son to the fourth courtyard. Changzhong had gifts in his hands. The ones for nephews and nieces were normal, like a rattle, and the ones for Changzhi were innocent.

Chang Zhi looked at the kite in his hand with a dull expression, "Is this really a gift for me?"

Changzhong nodded, "Ah, Fourth Brother, don't you like it?"

Changzhi didn't like it. Aren't kites something little girls and kids like? He's already married and has children, but when he saw his brother's expectant eyes, it was his brother's first gift. This kind of kindness was very rare, so he could only say reluctantly, "I like it."

Su Xuan was already laughing secretly, and Chang Zhi felt even more helpless. His wife not only did not help him, but also laughed at him.

Zhu Lan turned her eyes away from the dragon and phoenix twins. "I haven't seen them for the past ten days. The two little guys have grown up a lot."

Su Xuan had a lot to say about her son and daughter, "Mom, these two children were born together, and now they cry together and sleep one after the other. It's very interesting."

Zhulan smiled, "It's normal for the dragon-phoenix fetus to have some feelings."

Su Xuan felt it was particularly magical. It was her first time being a mother, and she did a lot of experimenting during the confinement period. "Mom, what are your plans for these two children when they are one month old?"

Zhu Lan said, "Your father and I don't want to make a big deal. On the one hand, the two children are still too young. On the other hand, your father made quite a splash during his visit to Beijing. It's better for him to keep a low profile recently."

Su Xuan understood immediately, "Mom, you mean Dad will go to Beijing soon."

So nothing can go wrong!

Zhulan smiled and nodded slightly, but she was thinking in her heart that the environment and identity were different, and the perspective was different. Li and Zhao had been talking to her for a while, and she had revealed a lot of things, but Li and Zhao were not more concerned about new things. She had only said one sentence to Su Xuan, and Su Xuan had guessed it.

Su Xuan is not unhappy at all because her son and daughter cannot have a grand wedding. She would rather keep a low profile. A dragon and a phoenix twin is a great blessing. She is afraid that excessive publicity will damage the blessing of the children!

Now my father-in-law is going to Beijing, which is good for the entire Zhou family and even better for the future of my daughter-in-law and my son!
