Baby brings his own shopping mall to travel through

"So we have to settle the remaining balance at home as soon as possible. If we find that it is not enough, we should ask for it early, so that we have enough time to make some preparations, so as not to be in a hurry when the time comes, and it will be troublesome if we can't come up with the money!"

Hearing this, Sanmao nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he understood: "Okay, I have an idea. I will go through the account book and calculate it carefully later. If it is really not enough, I can withdraw this year's dividend from the Jixiang Restaurant as an emergency measure. I just don't know how the restaurant's business is this year, and how much dividend I can get..."

"That's settled then! We've talked enough today, it's getting late, we still have to get up early tomorrow morning to welcome Ermao!" Damao looked out the window at the dark night, stretched himself, and announced the end of tonight's chat. Everyone responded and went back to their rooms to rest, looking forward to tomorrow's gathering and a better life in the future.

Today, everyone in the Yang family was extremely excited, and everyone could hardly suppress their excitement. After tossing and turning in bed for a long time, they finally fell asleep.

However, when the sky just turned a little light, they could not wait to wake up from their sleep, got up hurriedly and started to work. All this was because they wanted to welcome the triumphant return of the family hero - Ermao!

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear, as if even the heavens had felt the joy. There was not a single cloud in the azure sky, clear and bright.

The common people who heard the good news could not contain their anticipation and flocked to the streets and alleys, scrambling to grab the best viewing position, just to be able to see the triumphant army with their own eyes. The crowd was bustling and noisy, but everyone's face was filled with bright smiles and admiration for the heroes.

With flags covering the sky and swords shining, the mighty army marched in orderly steps and returned in triumph.

The city gates were wide open, and the people lined the streets cheering, their faces filled with joy and pride. Flowers fluttered down on both sides of the road, as if laying a gorgeous carpet for the heroic soldiers.

The sound of horse hooves was like thunder, and General Su was riding on a tall horse, looking majestic. He was wearing armor, his eyes were firm and deep, and he was even more brave and fearless after experiencing the baptism of war.

Ermao and several men who looked like generals followed behind General Su, and behind them were spirited soldiers, their armor gleaming in the sun and the weapons in their hands emitting cold light.

Cheers rose one after another, and shouts of "Heroes are back!" resounded through the sky. Children excitedly ran beside the team, imitating the soldiers' heroic postures. Women, with tears in their eyes, thanked God for the safe return of their loved ones.

In the triumphal procession, military flags fluttered and war drums roared. Officials in the city were waiting early to welcome the heroes and offer them the highest respect and generous rewards.

The entire capital city was immersed in an atmosphere of joy and glory. This victory not only brought peace and tranquility, but also became an eternal pride in people's hearts.

Old Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Li squeezed into the noisy crowd with great effort, craning their necks to look into the distance.

Finally, they saw the figure riding on the tall horse - it was Ermao! He was wearing heavy armor and looked majestic, like a god of war descended to the earth.

Compared to the last time we met, Ermao's skin color seemed to be a little darker, obviously due to long-term exposure to wind and sun, but this did not conceal his pair of bright and piercing eyes. His whole body exuded a sense of vitality that was difficult to ignore.

"Oh my, look, that's our Ermao! Did you see it? That's our Ermao!" Old Mrs. Yang's face flushed with excitement. She held Li's hand tightly and shouted with her voice trembling slightly with excitement.

"I'm watching, I'm watching!" Li couldn't hide her joy either. She shook Old Lady Yang's hand with both hands and said, "But... how come this child looks a lot thinner than the last time he came back?"

Yang Dashan, who had been standing silently behind Old Lady Yang, also came forward and said, "That's right, she has indeed lost some weight."

Hearing this, Old Lady Yang felt distressed and quickly turned to Li and told her, "After we go back later, we must make a few more of Ermao's favorite dishes to nourish him."

Li nodded hurriedly and replied, "Okay, okay, don't worry, I'll prepare it as soon as I get home."

"Kill a chicken and make some soup. Soup is good for your health!" Xiao Caoer suggested, blinking her big, lively eyes. Her cute and lovely appearance made people happy.

"Okay, I'll listen to my daughter!" Li responded with a smile, her eyes full of doting for her daughter.

At this moment, Yang Dashan suddenly shouted excitedly: "Look, look, Ermao is here, here!" He was tall and could take in the scenery in the distance even if he stood far away.

Hearing this, Xiao Cao'er immediately became excited and shouted at the top of her voice: "Second brother, second brother..." She waved her arms continuously while shouting, as if she wanted her second brother in the distance to notice her as soon as possible.
