Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

After the convoy entered the territory of Yan State, it also entered the "attack range" of the rainstorm.

Every year in mid-to-late June, floods begin to frequently occur in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River.

After checking into the post station in the territory of Yan State, I heard from the innkeeper that four places on Hedong Road had been flooded, and the Yellow River had even broken its dike. Tens of thousands of victims were pouring into Qinzhou Road.

Linshui was a trading post with many wealthy people, and was the first choice for disaster victims to take refuge.

Because in places where there are many rich people, the relief porridge distributed will be thicker than in other places.

In addition to the thick porridge, they could even get a steamed bun every day.

I definitely won’t be able to eat my fill, but I won’t starve to death.

Last year, the Yellow River was relatively well-behaved and did not burst its banks, so there was no large-scale exodus of disaster victims.

However, this year the Yellow River burst its banks, and the counties of Linshui, Jing'an and Nanhe, which are close to Hedong Road, are likely to be affected by the disaster.

After hearing this, Chen Lang became even more eager to return home.

He was afraid that he would go back too late and encounter Linshui sealing off the city, and then he wouldn't even be able to enter the city.

So Chen Lang ignored the opposition and insisted on moving forward in the rain.

After four or five days of arduous journey through the mud, the convoy finally returned to Linshui.

Chen Lang asked Qu Huai'en to send Princess Yongjia to a villa specially provided for high-ranking officials to rest, while he himself ran wildly on the street in the heavy rain.

Xiao Huihui ran faster than him. This guy also missed home.

"Ouch, ouch!"

Little Huihui was the first to rush to the door, and stood up like a human. His two front paws kept pulling at the copper rings on the gate, making a clanging sound.

After a while, the door opened, and then there were screams one after another.

"Little Huihui!"

"Jiro is back!"

"Young Master is back home!"

"Quick, get an umbrella, get an umbrella!"

Soon, Xiao Qi and several servants from the house rushed out of the yard holding umbrellas.

"Where are you, sir?"

"It's raining so hard I can't see."

"Daddy!"

In the end, it was Guoguo who first locked onto Chen Lang's figure in the heavy rain. The little girl didn't even need an umbrella. She moved her legs rapidly and ran towards Chen Lang while shouting "Daddy".

Chen Lang saw a small meat ball moving towards him rapidly.

Squat down and open your arms.

The father and daughter hugged each other tightly in the heavy rain.

Guoguo kept wiping the rain off Chen Lang's face with her hands, squinting her eyes and staring at Chen Lang for a long time, then she burst into tears.

In the past, when Chen Lang went out, he would come back within a few months at most, but this time he had been in Liao Kingdom for almost three months.

The little girl missed her father so much that she lost several pounds.

At this time, Xiaoqi and several servants also came over, holding umbrellas to shield Chen Lang and his daughter from the heavy rain.

Chen Lang kissed Guoguo's face fiercely several times and said, "Don't cry, dear girl. Daddy is back."

Guoguo hugged Chen Lang's neck tightly, fearing that if she let go, her father would disappear.

Chen Lang stood up holding Guoguo and met Xiaoqi's eyes.

Xiao Qi's eyes were also red, and she choked up and said, "Young Master, welcome home."

Chen Lang freed a hand, patted Xiao Qi's shoulder, and said, "Thank you for your hard work while I was away."

Xiao Qi said, "Your Highness, it's hard work for you to be an envoy to Liao. Xiao Qi is not tired."

Chen Lang said: "Let's go home."

Everyone surrounded Chen Lang and returned to the yard.

There were three women standing in the yard.

The pregnant Li Xiuzhi, the excited Xu Mengru, and...

A beautiful middle-aged woman who looked calm, but whose eyes were filled with tears.

Before Chen Lang could speak, Cuicui ran over, hugged Chen Lang's legs, looked up and shouted, "Master, you are finally back, wuwuwu, I missed you so much."

Chen Lang pinched Cuicui's cheeks and said, "Be good, my disciple. Master misses you too."

Cuicui held Chen Lang's hand, rubbed it hard with her little face, and then stepped aside.

The next person to come forward was Xu Mengru.

She was visibly excited, even to the point where she couldn't speak.

After a long pause, he managed to utter four words: "Welcome home."

To be honest, Xu Mengru was so excited that Chen Lang didn't know how to respond. In the end, he could only smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Xu Mengru nodded and stepped aside.

Chen Lang understood that there was an order in which they came to greet him.

It's a close-knit approach.

Xiaoqi, Cuicui, Xu Mengru, then it was Li Xiuzhi and her mother's turn.

However, one of them is pregnant and the other is an elder, so it is obviously not appropriate to let them get close to him.

Chen Lang walked up to the two of them, holding Guoguo in his arms. Just as he was about to speak, Feng Chaoying beside him said gently, "Let's talk inside. It's raining heavily outside."

Chen Lang looked at Feng Chaoying, and an indescribable feeling surged in his heart.

He had imagined many images of his mother in his mind, but each image was very vague.

Now, after seeing Feng Chaoying, these images that I imagined on my own slowly overlapped and finally merged with the image in front of me.

This kind of thing, I feel like it cannot be explained in words. I can only say that it is telepathy between relatives.

The family entered the house, and Xiaoqi stood guard at the door, not letting anyone in to disturb them.

Chen Lang put Guoguo down and knelt down in front of Feng Chaoying without any hesitation.

Feng Chaoying had been holding back her tears for a long time, but they finally burst out.

This is my child, there can be no mistake.

She slowly stretched out her trembling hand, touched Chen Lang's face, and said, "My child, I'm sorry."

In fact, when Chen Lang first saw Feng Chaoying, he was not particularly excited, because this woman was a complete stranger to him.

As for kneeling, it is more of a simple adherence to "filial piety" by the descendants of Yan and Huang.

Filial piety is the most important virtue.

However, when Feng Chaoying reached out and touched Chen Lang's face, he couldn't help but feel a throbbing in his body.

The prodigal son who had been wandering for many years finally found his mother.

"mother!"

Chen Lang opened his mouth and finally called out "Mom", which was twenty-four years late!

Feng Chaoying also knelt down, hugged Chen Lang and burst into tears.

"My son... Mother finally... finally... sees you."

Guoguo, who was standing beside her, also started crying.

Li Xiuzhi was also wiping away tears.

Even Xiaoqi, who was guarding outside the house, couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe away his tears after hearing the crying inside the house.

After crying for a while, Feng Chaoying let go of Chen Lang, quickly wiped the tears from her face, and helped Chen Lang wipe his tears clean. She choked up and said, "Mom is so happy that she forgot you haven't even spoken to Xiuzhi yet."

After saying that, he looked at Li Xiuzhi and said, "Xiuzhi, don't cry. Pregnant women shouldn't get too excited. It's not good for the baby in your belly."

"Son, go talk to your wife."

He immediately stood up, carried Guoguo and left the house, leaving the place to Chen Lang and his wife.

Chen Lang rubbed his face, put on a smile, walked up to Li Xiuzhi, and said, "Come, let your husband kiss you first."
