The way home is much easier than the way here. There are no killers chasing after me, and I don’t have to stop and go.

When you feel tired, go into the space to rest, and after resting, set off again immediately.

It only took two days to return to Cangwu Town.

Returning to the familiar place, Dahei circled above Longtou Mountain and let out a loud and sharp scream.

Old man Cheng, who was unemployed at home today, heard the sound and hurried out of the house.

"Grandpa! Grandpa! We are back!"

Before Dahei completely landed on the ground, Cheng Xingwan had already thrown herself into Old Man Cheng's arms.

Erhei and Mo Junyi followed closely behind.

"Oh my! My dear, you said you were going to be gone for a few days, but you've been gone for several months. I missed you so much. Look, I missed you so much that I lost my appetite and even lost weight!"

"Let me see!"

Cheng Xingwan held up Old Man Cheng's face and looked at it carefully. Indeed, the old man was so thin that his chin was pointed.

But she was heartbroken: "Don't worry, Grandpa, Nannan is back, I will make it up for you, and in a few days, your double chin will grow back."

"Okay, okay! My dear baby is back. Grandpa is enjoying his meal. I will eat two more bowls later so that I can gain some meat as soon as possible."

Old man Cheng happily held his adorable granddaughter in one hand and held Mo Junyi's hand with the other, and he smiled so hard that two more wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes.

"Where's grandma? She's not angry with me and is ignoring me!"

"How could that be possible? Your grandma will ignore you no matter who you are. The sentence she says most every day is, why hasn't my daughter come back yet?

She went down the mountain. Your uncle Si Niu is getting married tomorrow, and she went to help with the arrangements."

"Uncle Si Niu is getting married! So soon, I didn't hear who he chose before I left!"

"She is the daughter of the Zhuangyan owner of the Jixiang Cloth Shop in this town."

"Grandpa, what's going on? Tell me!"

When Cheng Xingwan heard some gossip, his eyes lit up instantly.

He took out a bag of melon seeds from the space, moved a chair for Old Man Cheng, nestled in Old Man Cheng's arms, and signaled that he could start.

Even Mo Junyi, who was usually aloof, moved a small stool, sat next to them, and pricked up his ears.

Old Man Cheng was amused by their cute little appearance.

"It was that girl who fell in love with your Uncle Niu. Your mother had business dealings with the Jixiang Cloth Shop, and your Uncle Niu often helped deliver goods. As time went by, I don't know how, he caught the eye of Yan Lian'er.

Just then, the imperial court ordered conscription, and Si Niu volunteered to join the army. When the girl heard the news, she could no longer sit still.

The Yan couple had only one daughter, so they naturally obeyed her in everything.

Besides, your Uncle Si Niu is just a little unlucky and a bit simple, but he has a good character, handsome looks, and a cheerful personality, so they naturally like him very much.

The shopkeeper's wife, Madam Fang, was very close to your mother, so she mentioned it to her in a roundabout way.

After your mother went back, she told your great grandmother that the girl was tall, had regular features, was efficient, and had a generous personality. She was a rare good girl. When your great grandmother heard this, she thought it was a godsend and she had to accept it.

The next day, a matchmaker was invited to propose marriage.

Your Uncle Si Niu didn't know about it at that time. It was only when the two parties exchanged the engagement letters that he realized that he was going to get married.

That straightforward guy actually went directly to the cloth shop and asked them to cancel the marriage!"

"Ah! Why? It's so hard to find a wife, and she's from a good family and has a nice appearance. Why doesn't Uncle Si Niu want her?"

"That's right. We were also puzzled. We thought he would give up the daughter of a good family and still be obsessed with Han Qiaozhen. Your great grandfather even beat him up for this."

"Why on earth does Uncle Si Niu dislike Sister Lian'er? Han Qiaozhen has disappeared, so he shouldn't still be thinking about her."

"That's right. No matter how your great grandfather beat him, that stubborn guy just wouldn't give in or say why he wanted to break off the engagement. When I asked him if he still thought about Han Qiaozhen, he flatly denied it."

"That's strange. Could it be that Uncle Si Niu has a traumatic experience with women because of what happened to Han Qiaozhen?"

Mo Junyi also rarely interrupted.

The reason why he knew Han Qiaozhen was because he had a sister who loved to listen to gossip.

When Xie told Zhang and Zheng about this, they quietly hid under the window sill and eavesdropped.

“We thought so at first, and your great grandfather was worried about it!

Fortunately, the daughter of the Yan family was a bold and courageous woman, and she didn't understand why Si Niu was unwilling to marry her.

She personally blocked him in the supermarket. No one knew what the two of them talked about inside. When they came out, Lian'er told your mother to go back and tell your grandmother that the wedding would go on as usual, but the time would be moved forward.

Then she ran away in a hurry, saying that she had to go back to make her wedding dress.

It was not until Si Niu, with a red face and a silly smile, came out that everyone asked him and learned the whole story from him.

It turns out that your Uncle Si Niu doesn't dislike Lian'er, he just feels that he is not worthy of her.

The second is that he feels that he will be going to the battlefield soon, and he doesn’t know when he will come back, or he may never come back. Getting married at this time is extremely irresponsible to the woman.

It's equivalent to making someone a widow. If he fails to come back from the battlefield, it will ruin her life.

That’s why they went to the other party’s house to ask him to cancel the engagement.”

"Then what happened later? Why did Uncle Si Niu agree to marry Lian'er again?"

"It was Miss Lian Er who stopped him and told him that she had taken a liking to him and that she was anxious to marry him before he left home because he was going to the battlefield.

If he didn't marry her, she would wait until he came back from the battlefield, until the day he was willing to marry her.

If Si Niu really cared about her, he would marry her before leaving home. This would give her a status and maybe even give her a chance to give birth to a child.

Your Uncle Si Niu was moved by her words. He saw her every day, and he was attracted to her.

Now, the misunderstanding has been resolved and the wedding is scheduled for tomorrow.

In ten days they will be leaving for Texas.”

"So that's how it is. My future aunt is such a wonderful person! I can't wait to meet her."

"You can go and see if you want. It's a good opportunity to go down and have some lunch so you don't have to complain about the food I cooked!"

Having made up their mind, the grandfather, grandson and their two companions prepared to go down the mountain, chatting and laughing.

When they met the elders of the village on the way, Cheng Xingwan and Mo Junyi called them sweetly.

"Oh, my dear, you finally came back. I missed you so much!"

"Nannan, An'an is back. If you don't come back, your grandparents will probably go to Texas in a couple of days to catch you back."

"My dear, you are back. What a coincidence! Yesterday, the village chief was still talking about your uncle Si Niu's wedding and wanted you and Jin'an District to be his bed-pressing boys. Now that you are going down to the mountain area, you can catch up just in time."
