Old Mrs. Yang introduced to the people around her with pride: "See? The one riding the horse is my second grandson!" As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and pointed tremblingly at the figure galloping towards them.

People around came over and looked in the direction of Old Lady Yang's finger. Although some people couldn't tell exactly which one was the second grandson that Old Lady Yang was talking about.

But they still couldn't stop praising him: "Oh my, it turns out that he is your grandson! What a hero! Look at his heroic appearance, he is so handsome!"

For a while, there was endless sound of praise. Old Mrs. Yang smiled from ear to ear, and she was so happy in her heart.

Ermao happened to be riding his horse to the edge of the road, still some distance away from Old Lady Yang.

Suddenly, amid the noisy crowd, a familiar and friendly voice came into his ears: "Second brother, second brother!" This voice was like a sharp sword, piercing through the surrounding noise and going straight into Ermao's ears.

Ermao's heart was startled, and he quickly turned his eyes to search the bustling crowd. Soon, he found his long-missed relatives in the crowd - his grandmother was looking at him with a smile on her face, and his parents stood beside him with a look of satisfaction, and his sister was jumping and dancing with excitement. The moment he saw them, Ermao was filled with an indescribable joy.

He quickly raised his arms and waved them vigorously, shouting loudly: "Grandma, Dad, Mom, and Sister!" However, he only had time to wave his hands once and after shouting this, Ermao quickly sat up straight.

After all, this moment is of great importance. He knows very well that he represents the entire mighty army behind him and must not indulge himself or behave inappropriately in the slightest, so as not to bring disgrace to the army.

After the huge army had passed by, Old Lady Yang smiled and waved to Ermao, then turned around and led her family home.

The house is filled with a strong smell of fireworks at this moment. The kitchen is filled with a wide variety of ingredients. The rich and delicious meals are waiting to be carefully cooked, as if they also know the joyful moment that is about to come - to welcome the triumphant Ermao home for a reunion and let him enjoy this warm reunion dinner.

However, the majestic generals could not return home to embrace their families directly. They had to go to the palace to report their military exploits to the emperor, and then wait for the emperor's reward. This series of procedures was tedious and complicated, and it would probably take a lot of time to complete them all.

Although the Yang family had been looking forward to Ermao's return, they did not rush to cook considering the cold weather and the fact that the prepared food would easily get cold.

They chose to prepare all the ingredients, seasonings and cooking utensils first, and as soon as Ermao stepped into the house, they would immediately light the stove and cook steaming hot delicious meals.

Just imagine, the whole family sitting together, enjoying delicious hot meals and dishes, and a small cup of mellow wine, what a pleasant life enjoyment that would be!

At this moment, Old Lady Yang suddenly asked, "Has the yard been cleaned again?" There was a hint of concern in her voice.

Qiangzi, who was standing by, quickly replied: "Grandma, don't worry, the yard has been thoroughly cleaned from top to bottom." Hearing this, Grandma Yang nodded with satisfaction.

Then, Li couldn't help asking, "Have you cleaned the tables, chairs and benches in the flower hall?"

Xiaoxing responded, "Auntie, I have carefully wiped it several times, and I guarantee it is spotless!" Hearing this, a gratified smile broke out on Li's face.

Afterwards, Grandma Yang and Mrs. Li were still restless. They looked here and there, sometimes checking whether the ingredients were fresh in the kitchen, and sometimes going to the living room to see whether the layout was appropriate.

They were busy going back and forth like this, and it seemed that they could not stop. Perhaps for them, this trivial preparation for the return of their loved ones was itself a manifestation of happiness.

The two men kept spinning like spinning tops, but they didn't seem dizzy at all. Xiao Cao, who was standing by, was dazzled and felt that her head was about to be dizzy. Finally, she couldn't help but speak.

"Grandma, and mother, you went out early in the morning to welcome my second brother! You haven't even taken a seat since you came back, so please sit down and take a rest. Otherwise, when my second brother really comes back, you may not have the energy to keep following him around!"

When Li heard her daughter's teasing words, she couldn't help but smile. She walked up to her and gently tapped her smooth forehead with her finger.

She said angrily, "You little girl, mother spends a lot of time around you on weekdays. Now that your second brother finally comes back, mother will naturally spend more time with him. If you don't get close to him, you may not recognize your son when you see him again in a few days!"

"Yes, yes, yes, you are right, but you can't keep turning around like this. It makes me a little dizzy." Xiao Cao'er said while stroking his forehead.
