"Okay."

Old Man Leng smiled with relief. Although he was very happy that his eldest son had returned, he was even happier that he could explain his situation to his wife in the afterlife.

But in fact, Mr. Leng felt extremely guilty towards his son, so guilty that he didn't even know how to get along with him.

Even for his eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Leng, and his eldest son's two children, while Grandpa Leng was happy for them to be happy, he felt guilty, cautious, and at a loss in front of them, and even felt sorry for them.

After all, if the family had not been poor and he was useless, why would they have sent their eldest son to serve in the military, separated from him for more than ten years, and caused him to suffer so much hardship and so many injuries.

The battlefield was so chaotic, and the days of living on the edge of a knife were so uneasy. Leng Kang had lived through such days for more than ten years.

Old Master Leng felt that if his eldest son hated him, he could understand it, but now his son did not blame or resent him, but instead became closer to him.

Old Man Leng was so moved that he wiped his tears calmly and went to the fields with his eldest son.

Seeing the father and son walking away, Mrs. Leng couldn't help but wipe away her tears. She knew that her husband had been looking forward to such a peaceful and homely day for many years.

"Madam, please don't cry. It's bad for your eyes. You should be happy now!"

The maid Bai Liu consoled her.

"Yeah, you should be happy."

Zhang Cui Niang, who was standing next to her, also came over and said awkwardly, "Sister-in-law, can I call you that?"

Madam Leng was obviously from a wealthy family. Leng Kang also said yesterday that Madam Leng was the daughter of his boss and had an extraordinary status and position.

When facing her, Zhang Cuiniang was still a little nervous.

"I am just a woman born in a rural area and I don't know how to speak. If there is anything wrong with me, please point it out directly and I hope you won't mind."

"Hey, sister-in-law, what are you talking about?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Leng stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Cuiniang, "Since you call me sister-in-law, you treat me as a family member. I am so happy, how can I say I dislike you."

"Don't ever say that again."

Madam Leng smiled and took Zhang Cuiniang's arm, pretending to be angry and said, "My maiden name is Chen, my given name is Yueshu, and my name is Chen Yueshu. If my sister-in-law doesn't recognize me as her sister-in-law, you can just call me Yueshu."

"I recognize it, I recognize it. It's all my fault that I said the wrong thing because I was dumb. I hope you won't blame me, sister-in-law."

Chen Yueshu was particularly easy to get along with, which made Zhang Cuiniang feel relieved.

The two sisters-in-law chatted and laughed, sitting down at the stone table in the yard and talking about family matters.

Leng Yan and Leng Su, who were standing by, saw this and couldn't help but smile knowingly. This family was getting better and better.

After chatting and laughing for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Leng Yan and Leng Su started to prepare lunch.

When Zhang Cuiniang heard the noise, she wanted to join in the work, after all, there were many people in the family now.

Chen Yueshu was not the kind of person who would just stand by and watch; she rolled up her sleeves and was ready to help.

Seeing this, Leng Yan felt it was not appropriate to ask someone who had just arrived home to cook. She thought for a moment and pulled Leng Su over to the side, saying:

"Aunt, it's hot, and it's not comfortable for too many people to stand in the kitchen. Let me take you to the backyard to pick vegetables. Pick whatever you want to eat. It's more fun to do it yourself."

Sure enough, Chen Yueshu became interested as soon as she heard it. After all, picking vegetables from the vegetable garden was a novel experience for her.

"Go ahead, aunt."

Leng Yan patted Leng Su's shoulder and let her aunt go so that they could have better contact with each other.

Leng Yan could see that Chen Yueshu came from a wealthy family, and her vision, education and knowledge were so profound that her younger sister-in-law would benefit greatly from learning from her.

Leng Su is already fourteen years old, and will be fifteen next year.

At this age and in this era, she is old enough to meet someone new. Even if her family wants to keep her for a few more years, it is only a matter of time.

Therefore, for the sake of her aunt's future life, Leng Yan hopes that her aunt can find a man with a good family background, good character, and parents who are easy to get along with and have few troubles.

Of course, under this premise, my aunt must gradually become good enough to match a better person.

Seeing his aunt and Leng Su carrying the vegetable basket and talking and laughing as they walked towards the backyard, Leng Yan couldn't help but feel his thoughts churning.

"Yan girl, what are you going to make for lunch?"

Zhang Cui Niang looked through the ingredients in the kitchen and on the food shelf, feeling a little distressed. "The ingredients are not complete. Apart from the green vegetables, there are only some bacon and salted fish left."

With these things, it would be enough for them to just eat casually under normal circumstances, but now that uncle's family has just returned, they can't be so perfunctory.

"There's still time. Why don't you ask your father to drive the ox cart to the town to buy some, and I'll go to the backyard and kill a chicken!"

Zhang Cuiniang made a suggestion, but before Leng Yan could answer, she heard several screams and laughter.
