The whole family travels through time and space, and the three of them struggle together

According to historical records of the Jiayou period, in the fifth year of the Jiayou period, Song Zhao led an army of 500,000 from Qingyuan Prefecture, crossed the East China Sea, passed through Zhijia Island, bombarded Fuduo Port, then headed north, landed at Nagato, took the Sanyang Road north, broke through 17 cities including Suo, Iwami, and Settsu, and went straight to the Japanese capital of Heian-kyo. After obtaining the letter of surrender from the Japanese emperor, he passed through Dali, crossed the Yellow Sea, and returned to Donghua. It took two and a half years.

After this battle, Japan became a vassal state of the East China Kingdom and paid tribute every year.

The Maozi Kingdom and the Dali Kingdom were also frightened by the power of the artillery and immediately asked for peace and paid compensation of 10,000 taels of gold.

Seeing this, other small countries in the Western Regions and Nanbang also submitted letters of credence, voluntarily becoming vassal states of Donghua in order to seek protection.

From then on, there was no invasion on the border of Donghua Kingdom for a hundred years.

Ever since the news of the great victory reached Qingshan County, Zhou Sisi's ears have been busy.

"Sisi, when will your father and the others come back?"

"I don't know. The army must first go to the capital to collect the reward before returning home."

"Sisi, your father should be an official now, right?"

"How can that be? He is just a scholar. One must be a juren or higher to become an official."

"Sisi, is your mother still in the capital?"

"No, they're all sold out in the city. They're in town."

Zhou Sisi answered as she walked home.

"Sisi, go home quickly, someone seems to be coming to your house!"

"Oh, thank you, auntie." Zhou Sisi, who was already a grown-up girl, immediately quickened her pace and ran home when she heard that someone was coming to her house.

At the gate, there stood a young man with a servant, and two horses were tied to a tree at the gate.

The young man was tall and had long legs, with sharp features. Standing in the sun, his thick long hair swayed gently in the breeze, inexplicably adding a bit of unruly charm to him.

Zhou Sisi thought to herself, if her mother saw these long legs, she would definitely take a second look.

"Who are you looking for? Why don't you go inside and wait?" Nanny Yu should be at home.

"Looking for you, Zhou Sisi!" said the man in a cold voice.

"Looking for me?" Zhou Sisi thought for a moment. She had never seen such a handsome man before! Although Cheng Yunxiang was also very handsome, she saw him several times a year and it was impossible for him not to recognize him.

"You really can't remember?" the man said as he threw her a little golden pig.

"Brother Tingye!" Zhou Sisi knew who he was the moment she took the golden pig. The freak who gave her the golden pig every year!

"You're not so nice. You finally remembered me." Song Tingye teased her.

"I didn't expect you to come! Please come in, my mother will be back soon."

As soon as the door opened, two little people ran out of the room and hugged Zhou Sisi's legs, "Sister, you're back!"

"Oh my, whose little mud monkey is this? How dare it rub against me! Go wash it quickly!"

Mrs. Yu and Xiao Xiangsheng, who followed behind, hurriedly took the two children to wash their hands.

After Zhou Sisi finished yelling, she remembered that there were people around her and hurriedly explained to Song Tingye, "These are my two younger brothers, Zhi Ge'er and Heng Ge'er. They are so cute. They were born the year my father went to war. They will be two years old in two months."

Song Tingye looked at the two little people washing their hands, then looked at Zhou Sisi and said, "Your two brothers are not like you."

"Yeah! Like my dad."

As they were talking, Chen Xiuying and Qing'er came in from outside.

Zhou Sisi quickly stepped forward and said, "Mom, look who's here!"

Song Tingye didn't dare to keep the secret any longer and hurried forward to bow, "Tingye greets Aunt."

Chen Xiuying quickly reached out to help him. "It's been years since we last met. Tingye has grown up a lot! How come you have time to come here today?"

"Some time ago, it was my grandfather's fiftieth birthday in Qingzhou. My mother couldn't go back, so Tingye went instead. When she returned, she happened to see the army landing. My uncle knew that my aunt was worried about me at home, so he asked me to come and tell her that he was doing well, and everyone was doing well too. Moreover, they had made great contributions this time, so they had to go to the capital first to receive their reward and return later."

Chen Xiuying smiled and wiped away tears after hearing this. "That's great, everyone is fine! Thank you for coming to tell me. Now I feel relieved. Otherwise, I was worried that if someone lost an arm or a leg, I wouldn't be able to explain it to them when I got home."

At this time, the two children had washed their hands, and Zhou Sisi led them over again.

The two little ones saw their mother crying and hurried over to hug her thighs, "Mom, why are you crying again?"

"Mom is happy. Your dad will be back soon."

"Daddy is coming back soon! That's great!" The two children happily ran around in circles in the yard.

Zhou Sisi was causing trouble, so she quickly asked them to stop.

"Come, both of you, come and meet the big brother. This is the big brother from the general's uncle's family that I told you about."

The two little guys walked up to Song Tingye, raised their hands, and bowed forward, "Zhou Yuzhi, Zhou Yuheng, meet your brother!"

Since the two children were born, their grandfather gave them names. The elder brother is named Yuzhi and the younger brother is named Yuheng, hoping that they will be smart, clever and persistent.

Master Chen also changed Tietou Suotou's and the others' names. It sounded unpleasant to call Tietou Suotou, so they were now called Zhou Yufu and Zhou Yulu. Dabao and Erbao were also named Zhou Yu'an and Zhou Yukang. Zhang and Li, overjoyed, prepared a large amount of food and sent it to the Chen family.

After meeting Song Tingye and knowing that the child's father and his group were all fine, Chen Xiuying finally put her mind at ease.

She hurriedly asked Qing'er to tell the other families. She herself cooked a table full of delicious food to reward Song Tingye.

Tietou Suotou, Dabao and Erbao, Chennan and Chenbei heard that Ange'er's brother had arrived, and they hurried over to inquire about Ange'er's recent situation. Although they would hear some things about Ange'er from Sisi every year, it was not as good as what the family members said in person.

"Ang'er is currently studying at the Jixian Academy in the capital, and he's also learning martial arts from the family's martial arts master. He's quite naughty, and parents often come to our house to complain about him beating up someone else's child. This gives his mother a lot of headaches."

Erbao: "Ange never bullies others, that guy must be asking for a beating!"

Chen Bei: “That’s right!”

Dabao: "Ange'er never fought before. It seems he must have been bullied after returning home."

Song Tingye...it seems like you didn't even listen to what I said.

After Chen Xiuying finished cooking, Dali, Yu Quan, and Yu Fuan and his son also came back.

Quan Dali was already a 19-year-old boy. When he met Song Tingye, who was the same age as him, for the first time, he felt a little reserved and his face turned red when he greeted him.

Song Tingye was very generous. When he heard that he was Zhou Sisi's elder brother, he also called him "brother".

After dinner, Chen Xiuying arranged Song Tingye and the servant to stay in the rooms of the two mothers. Song Tingye thought about it and asked to stay in the room where he stayed last time, which was An Ge'er's room.

In the past two years, with the birth of Zhiger and Hengger, and the growth of Xiao Xiangsheng, Chen Xiuying rearranged the house.

First, two more rooms were built next to the east wing, and the five members of Yu Po's family were moved into the wing. The things originally in the wing were moved to the easternmost room. Next to it were Xu Wu and Quan Dali's rooms, then the two mothers' rooms, the study, the living room, her and her two children's room, and then An Ge'er's room, the study and Zhou Sisi's room.

Song Tingye wanted to live in the room his brother used to live in, and Chen Xiuying thought it was understandable, so she nodded and agreed.
