Because Su's father had written in a letter that he would be home after the Dragon Boat Festival, Su's mother and Su Weixi thought that Su's father would be home after the Dragon Boat Festival.

But when everyone gathered in the yard to make rice dumplings on the Dragon Boat Festival, Xiao Huihui suddenly ran back from outside the yard excitedly, biting Su Ma's trouser leg and dragging her out.

At first, Su Ma thought that Xiao Huihui wanted her to play with him, so she told Xiao Huihui not to make trouble because she was busy.

Su Weixi noticed that Xiao Huihui was a little too excited, so she suggested going with Xiao Huihui to have a look. Then they stood up and followed Xiao Huihui out.

As soon as they went out, Xiao Huihui ran wildly towards the foot of the mountain. Su Ma seemed to have sensed something and couldn't help but quicken her pace.

As soon as the mother and daughter reached the foot of the mountain, they saw Dad Su coming down the mountain with a full mountaineering bag on his back. Little Huihui was running around at his feet, motioning Dad Su to look down the mountain.

Dad Su looked up and saw his wife and daughter standing at the foot of the mountain, looking at him with tears in their eyes. He immediately wanted to rush down the mountain to hug them, but his big backpack was caught on a branch, so he threw the backpack on the ground and ran down the mountain.

As soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, Su's father hugged Su's mother, who was already in tears, into his arms.

"Wan Niang, I'm back. Thank you for your hard work these days." Father Su said with a sob.

"You still remember to come back? Ah? You just left us mothers here." Su's mother didn't know why she couldn't control her emotions. She beat Su's father on the back while accusing him.

"I won't do that again in the future. I will take you and your mother with me wherever I go." As Su's father said this, he unconsciously hugged Su's mother tighter.

Su Weixi standing aside: So, I leave? I'm just a light bulb!

After Su's mother calmed down, she gently pushed Su's father away, but Su's father didn't want to let go.

"My daughter is still here!"

At this moment, Su's father seemed to have just seen his own daughter. He let go of Su's mother and coughed uncomfortably twice.

"Ahem, my girl, you've grown taller again."

"Dad, welcome home."

"Well, let's go home." After saying this, Su's father raised his head and touched Su Weixi's head.

"Let's go home first, An An and Ning Ning are still at home." Su Ma suggested.

At this time, a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old came down from the direction where Su's father came down. He had a mountaineering bag on his shoulder and another bag in his hands. It should be the bag that Su's father had just thrown on the ground.

"Old Su, what is this?" Mother Su looked at the young man in front of her, wondering why her husband brought a young man back.

"Oh, let me introduce him to you. His name is Chen Wen, and he's my servant. Awen, this is my wife and my daughter." Father Su explained.

"Hello, ma'am, hello, miss." Awen greeted them respectfully. He wanted to bow, but he had a big bag in his hand.

"Hey, hello. Old Su, please take the bag quickly. Don't let the child get tired." Mother Su looked at the skinny boy holding the bag with difficulty and urged Father Su.

Dad Su walked forward, took his bag and put it on his back.

"Let's go home first. I haven't seen the two little ones for a long time. I wonder if they still remember me as their daddy." Dad Su thought of his two young children and sighed.

"Hmph, if you don't come back, the child will be able to speak." Su Ma said exaggeratedly.

In fact, the two children are only six months old. How could they speak so early? They are just using this as a way to vent their dissatisfaction.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault." Dad Su coaxed softly.

The four of them walked towards home.

Just when I was not far from home, I saw Nanny Zeng holding Ningning. There was a wooden cart beside her legs. I guess Anan was inside, waiting for someone.

After everyone said hello, Dad Su took Mom Su back to their room. Dad Su had just arrived home and needed to rest.

As for Awen, Dad Su asked Nanny Zeng to make the arrangements.

Fortunately, a few rooms were built some time ago because Qiao'er and her daughter had no place to live, otherwise without Awen, they would have to stay in the cabin first.

Nanny Zeng arranged Awen to live in the backyard next to Qiao'er and her daughter. She gave him some daily necessities and asked him to go and recuperate.

Su Weixi saw her parents abandon the two little ones and go back to their room. Aunt Zeng was busy arranging arrangements for Awen, so she had to take her younger brothers and sisters, who were also disliked third wheels like herself, to the yard to play.

Su Weixi was inconvenient to make zongzi as she was with her child, so she just watched Chef Wang and Chef Li make zongzi while playing with the child.

It was the first time for both of them to see so many kinds of zongzi, some with meat and salted egg yolk, and they were very curious about what they tasted like. However, they both felt that they would not be bad, after all, there was nothing bad in the Su family.

When Father Su finished washing up and came out of the room, the two cooks had already wrapped the rice dumplings and went to the kitchen to cook them.

When Mr. Fu heard that Mr. Su had returned, he hurried to find him.

Others may not know what Su's father has been doing during this period, but he is very clear about it. He is also very concerned about the situation of that batch of high-yield crops in the border town.

"Nephew Su, you're back? Did you have a smooth journey?" Old Fu asked with concern when he saw that Su's father had become much darker.

"Thanks to you, everything went well." Dad Su replied politely.

Then the two of them sat down at the stone table in the yard, during which time Mr. Fu asked a lot of questions about the border town.

Father Su told Mr. Fu everything he knew. When Mr. Fu learned that the crops were growing well in the border town and there were no major problems, he couldn't help but applaud.

After learning that the alcohol, crossbows and crossbow beds made by Su's father were of great use in the military camp, he praised Su's father repeatedly.

At dinner time, everyone was conquered by the various flavors of the Su family's rice dumplings. As expected, the debate over sweet and salty tastes was sparked again. Everyone has their own preferences, which is normal.

Considering that Su's father had just returned, the family should have a lot to talk about, so everyone dispersed after dinner.

After Qiao'er and her daughter packed up their things, they returned to the house in the backyard. Dad Su also asked Awen to go back and rest early, as he had been tired from traveling these days.

Nanny Zeng originally wanted to take An An and Ning Ning back to her own room and leave the space for the Su couple, but was rejected by Su Ma.

After everyone left, the five members of the Su family returned to their room.

"Dad, what's going on with Awen? Why did you find a servant?" Su Weixi was very surprised by Su's father's behavior. He suddenly brought someone home and thought there must be some hidden story behind it.

"He is a poor child."

"Tell us quickly what's going on!" Su Ma urged.

"This child is an orphan. All his family members died tragically in the battle two years ago, and their fields and houses were occupied by the clan. He supports himself by doing odd jobs in the city. He helped me before in the border town, and then he begged me to take him in. I saw that he had a kind heart and could read, so I brought him back." Father Su told the mother and daughter about the general situation.

"Dad, what did he do for you?"

"This is a long story." Dad Su was thinking about how to say it.

"Then please make it short." Su Ma urged again impatiently.

Dad Su: My wife’s personality has remained the same for the past ten years!

After Su's father's subsequent explanation, Su Weixi and Su's mother finally understood the whole story and what Su's father had done in the border town during this period.

It turned out that as soon as Su's father arrived at the border town, Xiao Yi took him to the military households and asked Su's father to arrange for everyone to plant the wheat, potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes.

Fortunately, because of Xiao Yi's instructions, the military households were very obedient and did what Su's father said. After Su's father taught them how to make fertilizer, he became very popular among the military households.

Originally, after the crops had sprouted for a while and were growing well, Father Su was ready to return, but Xiao Yi hoped that Father Su would stay for a while longer, fearing that if something happened to the crops, the military households would not know how to solve the problem.

So Dad Su stayed for a while longer, going out of town from time to time to check on the crops, and strolling around the city when he had nothing to do.

Once, he saw Awen being bullied. The bully made Awen work but didn't give him food, and the bully also wanted to beat Awen. Su's father came to help.

Later, Su's father thought that his family would have a lot of cooperation with Xiao Yi and Shen Jingzhou in the future, and he didn't know when they would go to the border town again. When the time came, he would bring Su's mother and the children with him and prepare to buy a house in the city.

He avoided the people arranged by Xiao Yi and went to find a human trafficker to view the house himself.

During this period, Su's father came across two nice three-courtyard houses and was struggling to decide which one to buy. He met Awen, who secretly told Su's father not to buy one of the houses because someone had died there.

Originally, Su's father was going to give him some silver, but he begged Su's father to buy him and said that he could read.

Father Su thought that he sometimes needed someone to run errands in the border town, and it was inconvenient to always use Xiao Yi's people. After letting Xiao Yi's people investigate and confirming that he had no major problems, he bought him.
