"Third Brother, I'm back. I didn't know where you all stayed during the winter, so I went to Fourth Brother's place first. Then, he brought me here." Zhixiang said with a smile as he looked at his older brother, whose appearance hadn't changed at all and still looked the same.
"Come in, come in. Dad and Mom have been missing you. These days, they've been talking about you constantly, not knowing when you'd return." Zhiming hurriedly ushered everyone into the courtyard. Zhixiang's entourage managed the carriage, and Zhiming helped move it to the animal shed.
During the day, when there was nothing to do, everyone would usually be in the main room of the front yard, doing chores and chatting. Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Xue were sewing quilts, and the old master was sitting on the bed, with everyone chatting and laughing; it was very lively. Then, the door was pushed open, and Zhiming's very excited voice rang out, "Dad, Mom, guess who's come back?"
