"Look at what you said!" The village chief said angrily.
"Alright, alright, go back to sleep. I'll send the child to Meimei. Zhengqing should be back soon. I don't know how the Youth House over there is going."
"It's probably about time." As soon as the village chief finished speaking, a sound came from outside the door.
Aunt Gaixian pushed the door open and saw her son coming back.
"Zhengqing, why are you back so late today?"
The man washed himself with the cold water in the basin beside the well, and then said, "I was thinking about meeting the deadline today and finishing the work this week, so I worked a little longer."
"Mom, is there someone coming home?" Zheng Qing walked into the room and asked while looking at the cup of water on the table.
"Well, the educated youth from Nan is here, ask your father for leave."
Zhengqing nodded and said nothing more. He had also seen the educated youth before. She was a pretty girl who seemed to be very close to Chuanzi. He guessed that something was going on.
"It's just right that you're back. Take the child in to have some rest. Your father and I will go back to the house." After saying that, Aunt Gaixian picked up the child from the village chief's arms and placed him in Zhengqing's arms.

Meimei nodded and said, "I know, it's just that I'm not doing my best."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zheng Qing rubbed Meimei's hair and said, "It's not your fault. Children will grow up anyway. Now that we have malted milk, you should relax. The child still needs your care."
Meimei nodded and told Zhengqing to go to bed early.
On the other side, Nanqiao returned to the yard and saw Nanzhou exercising in the yard.
"Brother, you haven't slept yet."
"Waiting for you. Have you applied for leave?" Nanqiao asked, wiping his sweat.
"Okay, I'll go to town with you tomorrow."
"good"
