After marrying the hunter, he became more and more abnormal

There were still two large gift boxes and a small bundle of sugarcane, half for each of the two families.

When they were about a hundred meters apart, Xia Mo silently spread his divine sense and "saw" that Liu Yu's courtyard gate was locked and that he had gone to Liu Yingying's house. He saw that Liu Yu and Liu Yingying were embroidering handkerchiefs under the eaves, while Zhou Shi was weaving a square box with rattan.

Great, they're all there.

Ling Chuan caught a glimpse of the young man's slightly curved lips and knew that the trip had not been in vain.

Knowing that everyone was at Liu Yingying's house and the gate was still open, Xia Mo and his family went straight in and greeted the three people who happened to be looking over with a smile: "Auntie, Sister Yingying, and Brother Yu, it's been a long time!"

"Ah! Zege'er!"

Liu Yu exclaimed in surprise, and the three of them were all delighted. They hurriedly put down the handkerchief and the rattan box and excitedly went to greet her.

"Quick, let your aunt take a look." Zhou subconsciously reached for Xia Mo's arm, but then lowered her hand as if by accident just before touching his clothes. She examined Xia Mo closely, her eyes slightly moist: "Not bad, not bad, you haven't lost weight, you've even gotten fairer and plumper. It seems Ling Chuan has taken good care of you."

After saying that, he turned to Ling Chuan and smiled gently: "You've been away for so long, and you've been protecting Ze Ge'er so well. You've worked hard."

Ling Chuan glanced at the young man whose cultivation was already higher than his, and said with a slight smile, "It's not hard work. A Mo helped me a lot while we were away. We supported each other along the way."

Zhou was pleased to hear this. "Yes, yes, husband and wife should support each other. I heard you were back last night. Yingying and Yu-ge wanted to go see you, but it was almost dark by then."

Xia Mo smiled at Liu Yingying and Liu Yu, his voice rising uncontrollably at the end: "It seems you two missed me a lot."

"I missed you so much, I almost died of longing for you, your sister!" Liu Yingying couldn't help but glare at him playfully. She truly considered him her own brother. After not seeing them return for so long and hearing some ominous things, she was genuinely worried sick. Fortunately, they've all returned safe and sound.

"We thought about going to see you this morning, but we heard on the way that you went to the village chief's house, so we had to turn back first." Liu Yu said with bright eyes, her gaze fixed on Xia Mo, her heart filled with amazement: Ahhh, how come Ze Ge'er's skin looks so smooth and delicate? He really wants to touch it.

Seeing the intense gaze he was giving the young man, Ling Chuan's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Xia Mo smiled and said, "That's really unfortunate, but now that we're here, it's not too late. Here, this is for you. Take it. The sugarcane is half for each of your families."

He handed the large gift box to Liu Yingying, and Ling Chuan also shoved the large gift box in his hand in front of Liu Yu. Liu Yu forgot her timidity and happily hugged it.

As for the sugarcane, it was a bit heavy, so Lingchuan simply carried it aside.

"Wow, such a big box! Ze-ge, you guys have really struck it rich?" Liu Yu happily hugged the somewhat heavy gift box, wanting to shake it but afraid of damaging the contents.

Mrs. Zhou was happy that the young couple remembered them, but at the same time she felt a little sorry for them sending such an expensive gift. Earning money is not easy, and she was afraid that the young people would not know how to save. Her worrying nature made her mutter, "Oh dear, you've come all this way, why did you bring so much? It's too much of a waste."

"No, it's not an expense for you," Xia Mo said directly.

The three Zhous felt a surge of comfort upon hearing this, and the slight sense of distance they had felt due to the other party's dramatic changes vanished in an instant.

"Come on, let's go inside and chat. Oh dear, I've been so busy talking to you that I've forgotten about An Yu. Let me take a closer look. Oh my, he's already handsome, but he looks even more handsome in this outfit today."

Xiao Anyu was quietly watching the adults exchange pleasantries when, for some reason, the conversation suddenly turned to him, making him the center of attention. He was even praised by Aunt Zhou, and two little pink clouds appeared on his face.

"Aunt Zhou looks beautiful today too."

Because it was an adoption relationship, apart from actual relatives, Xiao Anyu and Xia Mo basically treated each other as their own. He looked very serious, which made Liu Yingying and the other two laugh. Their mischievousness arose spontaneously.

Liu Yingying turned around and smiled, teasing him deliberately: "And what about me? Am I pretty today?"

Xiao Anyu turned to look at her, his face full of sincerity: "You're beautiful. Sister Ying is the most beautiful girl in the village. She's beautiful today, beautiful tomorrow, and always beautiful."

"Wow, is this mouth coated with honey? It speaks so sweetly." Liu Yu's expression was exaggerated, and then he asked very casually, "Then, am I the most handsome boy in the village?"

"I didn't eat honey, I ate sugarcane." Xiao Anyu paused after saying that, his eyes subconsciously glancing at Xia Mo, and he hesitated, "Hmm, Brother Yu is also very handsome."

Liu Yingying couldn't help but burst out laughing, and said mercilessly to Liu Yu, "Brother Yu, don't make things difficult for little An Yu."

“I didn’t make things difficult for him.” Liu Yu didn’t care at all, and even raised her chin and smiled quite smugly, “Anyway, I heard it clearly. Xiao Anyu said that I am also very good-looking. Even if I can’t compare with Ze Ge’er, I am still the second most handsome in Liu Family Village, right? Xiao Anyu.”

Xiao Anyu nodded: "That's right."

"That's enough, aren't you childish?" Xia Mo said, but the smile on his lips never disappeared. They were still his most familiar friends, two loyal and lovable clowns.

Zhou smiled at them, then shook her head helplessly: "A bunch of immature children. An Yu, Aunt Zhou will go get you some red bean glutinous rice cake."

Xiao Anyu smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt Zhou."

"No need to thank me, no need to thank me, thank you has almost become your catchphrase." Zhou said this and went to the kitchen.

Xiao Anyu glanced at her back, then at Uncle Liu and the others who were all smiling, and smiled too.

After a long separation, Liu Yingying and Liu Yu had a lot to say to Xia Mo, asking him if the outside world was beautiful, fun, interesting, and if anyone had bullied him.

Xia Mo answered all their questions and even gave a special introduction to sugarcane, which amazed the three of them. They immediately took out a machete, cut off a sugarcane, and shared it with each other.

"Wow, it's so sweet!" Liu Yu took a bite and chewed, her eyes wide open.

Zhou and Liu Yingying were also incredibly shocked. They never expected that this thing that looked like black bamboo would be so sweet and could be used to make sugar. What a wonderful thing!

"Ze-ge'er, you just said you're willing to sell sugarcane seeds? Auntie wants to buy some and plant a small plot to test the waters," Zhou Shi said decisively.

Liu Yu quickly added, "I'll plant the same amount as you, Auntie!"

Xia Mo looked at him suspiciously: "Are you sure? Why don't you talk to your parents about it first?"

Liu Yu said, "No need. My parents feel guilty towards me right now, and they've always told me to work hard with you. I can make the decision. I'll pay for the sugarcane seeds myself."

Xia Mo chuckled, "You guys have good taste, but you still need to discuss it with your family. Also, I remember your parents have been very good to you, so why should you feel guilty?"
