After the family had dinner, they washed up and went back to their rooms early.

Yinuo took a comfortable bath and returned to her room, where she saw her two children lying on the bed.

Teng Ke sat on the bed and undressed. Now that he was at his mother-in-law's house, he had to be more restrained. Sleeping with his child would give him a break.

"Mother, come quickly."

"You sleep next to me!"

The younger brother patted the seat next to him and asked Yinuo to go over and accompany him.

Yinuo stood at the door, wiping her hair while laughing and teasing: "Aren't you going to sleep with grandma tonight?"

The two brothers shook their heads in unison.

"Mother, I miss you."

“It feels like I haven’t seen you for a long time.”

Yinuo burst out laughing.

It is said that the youngest son or daughter is the sweetest of the heart. The youngest son or daughter always gets more care and they are the most sensitive to their parents' care. Just like Teng Runchen, a three-and-a-half-year-old kid, he already knows how to get close to his parents.

"You had so much fun during the day that you forgot about your mother?" Yinuo pretended to be sad.

The younger brother was a little overwhelmed. With his limited vocabulary, he couldn't think of how to answer for a moment. Looking at his mother's sad face, he blushed and felt a little sad.

My brother is now talking a lot more. He won't be a silent bystander all the time. Just like now, he saw his mother's sad face and thought: "I miss my mother during the day, too!"

"It's just that I had fun, and the longing was diluted."

Yinuo was very surprised. She walked into the room quickly and hugged her brother in her arms: "Hong, you are right and your expression is very clear."

"This is how we should be. I am your mother. You can tell me anything. There is no need to hide anything."

Everyone has their own personality. The older brother and the younger brother have two different personalities. Yinuo did not turn the older brother into a person who can talk about anything.

But she hoped her brother wouldn't be so deep.

She wanted Teng Runhong to know that parents are the ones who can listen to her, and hoped that he could be a child, a real child in front of her, so that he would not just think about carrying everything on his own in the future. At least, he would have his parents to rely on.

My brother’s face turned redder and redder. It felt so good to be hugged by mother. He liked it so much.

"Well, kid knows."

The younger brother got angry when he saw that his mother ignored him. He crawled under Yinuo's armpit like a pig digging for cabbage and forced his way between his mother and his brother.

"Mom, Mom, I want a hug too."

Yinuo smiled even more happily: "Okay, okay, hug my good son."

"Let's sleep together tonight!"

Teng Ke put the folded clothes in the closet. Seeing the mother and her two children huddled together, he couldn't help but laugh. He opened his arms and hugged all three of them.

"Okay, time to rest."

There are fun places everywhere in the village. The two brothers have one hour of practice time in the morning and one hour of study time in the afternoon. The rest of the time they follow Yi Xiaodong around the village, running around and having a lot of fun.

The children were tired after a long day and fell asleep as soon as they lay down and turned off the lights.

Yinuo was also very tired, her eyelids were drooping, but her hands were still gently patting the child.

Teng Ke raised the corner of his mouth, held her delicate hand, hugged her in his arms, and kissed her charming little face again.

"Go to sleep!"

His voice seemed to have magic, and accompanied by the singing of crickets outside, Yinuo fell asleep.

The bed for the family of four is very warm, and their dreams are very cozy.

Yi Yuan and his wife also turned out the lights, but they both tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

He lay on his side for a while, but couldn't fall asleep. He turned over again and closed his eyes, but still couldn't fall asleep. He was restless.

"Oh, you old man!"

"You're turning around and around, it's keeping me awake!"

Yi Yuan curled his lips: "Aren't you the same? And you still blame others!"

Seeing that her old man dared to refute her, Lin Xia clamped the flesh on his waist with her fingers and twisted it gently.

“Hiss… Ouch…”

"Old woman, you have no moral principles!!"

“Hahahahaha, it’s so sour, stop tickling me!”

Seeing that he was still so obedient and was being bullied by her, Lin Xia chuckled, then let go of her hand and lay on her back on the bed.

After an unknown amount of silence, Lin Xia finally asked.

"Old man, do you really want to go to Pengcheng?"

Yi Yuan was silent for a long time before he hummed.

"Xiaohao still hasn't found a salary for next year, and Cheng is already that old. If we want to have another child, we'll need money."

"There is work to be done in Pengcheng, and I can still try my best."

Lin Xia sighed, it was all for the children.

The two fell into silence again. After a long time, Yi Yuan spoke in a low voice.

"Old lady, I am forty-six years old and have been in Xiao County for thirty-three years."

"In the past thirty-three years, I have never left Xiao County."

"But you also know that I am thinking about my parents!"

"I still can't remember who my parents are, what they look like, or even if they are still alive."

"I didn't have the ability before, but now with the help of my uncle and daughter, I can get out of Xiao County. Maybe I can have a chance to meet them again."

This time, Lin Xia only sighed in her heart, but her hand in the quilt still quietly held Yi Yuan's skinny, calloused hand.

"Boss, go find him."

“This village is also free of attachments for me.”

"Wherever you and the child are, I will go."

Yi Yuan was very touched. This was his wife who had been with him all his life. Although she was a bit aggressive, she was actually very kind at heart. When he was in the most difficult times, she was like the sun in winter, giving him warmth and a home.

From now on, I have a sense of belonging in this world.

He shook Lin Xia's hand vigorously without saying anything, but his slightly trembling hands were enough to show his gratitude.

They have been married for twenty-three years, and have had their ups and downs along the way. In the first few years, they had quarreled and argued over their children and money.

Later, slowly, they stopped arguing. Many things did not require words. They could understand each other's thoughts with just a glance or a gesture.

Now that the two are old, they have accompanied each other for most of their lives, and have experienced many ups and downs. Now they can still hold each other's hands quietly. Yi Yuan is already content.

He choked, then slowly adjusted his breathing before speaking slowly.

"I will always accompany you back on the anniversary of your parents' death."

"We will come back like this a hundred years later."

Lin Xia was already very satisfied. She had chosen this man because he agreed to live in her home, so her old mother could finally leave home without regrets. Although life had been hard for so many years, she had a purpose.

"Okay, let's go together!"

The old couple, silent, but warm in the heart.
