The threshold of the gate of Qingshan Villa had been removed, which was a long-standing preparation, waiting for them to return home.

The majestic red-background black couplet, affixed from top to bottom to the threshold, is particularly eye-catching. The couplet's content is very festive, and although the brushstrokes are a little unsteady, they are still neat and clear to be handwritten by the children of the village.

Although these children's brushwork is immature, every stroke and every painting is filled with love for Qingshan Villa and anticipation for the New Year.

Inside the main gate, both sides of the main road were decorated with large red lanterns, their glowing red light appearing particularly warm in the night. Two large lanterns were hung high above the entrance to the mansion, and a few lanterns were specially lit on the small stone table next to them, illuminating the open space in front of the door.

The New Year atmosphere is so great. At this time, Jing Chunxi feels a little regretful that he can't celebrate the New Year with everyone at Qingshan Villa.

A large crowd had already gathered at the gate of the mansion, young and old, masters and servants alike. It was even more lively than when Jing Chunxi returned from exile. They all gathered in front of the gate, their faces filled with anticipation and joy, welcoming these relatives they had never met.

The village was brightly lit, and even the banyan trees were hung with small lanterns made by the children. It was a heartwarming sight. The warm yellow light shone on everyone's face, reflecting the joy in their hearts.

Jing Chunxi dismounted, threw the reins to a nearby child, and sprinted over. Her steps were brisk, her heart filled with excitement and joy. The crowd moved aside to make way for her, wanting the mother and daughter to meet in time.

"Mom, why don't you sleep? How did you know we would come back overnight? Woohoo! Sister Xi misses mommy." Jing Chunxi hugged Jing Qiurong's neck tightly, rubbed his head against his mother's chin several times, but couldn't stop the tears from flowing down, crying and laughing at his mother.

Her tears were filled with the joy of reunion, the fatigue of the journey, and the longing for home. She hugged her mother tightly, as if she was afraid that if she let go, she would lose this warm support.

Inexplicably, Jing Chunxi's heavy heart suddenly felt relieved, and she felt relaxed both physically and mentally. Even her voice became delicate and lazy. As expected, home is where her mother is. When she is with her mother, she is a spoiled little girl, and she doesn't need to force herself anymore.

She leaned in her mother's arms, feeling her mother's body temperature and heartbeat, her heart filled with peace.

"It's good to be home, it's good to be home." Jing Qiurong gently stroked Jing Chunxi's back with her hand, her eyes moist. The moment she saw her daughter, all her longing was transformed into a simple sentence: home is the safe haven for loved ones.

Her hand gently patted Jing Chunxi's back, as if comforting a frightened child. Tears couldn't be held back, but a relieved smile hung on her face. No matter how complicated the outside world was, home was always the warmest haven for children, and she was their strong support.

"Sister, we have been waiting for you for a long time. Brother Jing made a bet with us today, saying that you will definitely arrive before dawn, and it turned out to be true." A small figure also squeezed out from the crowd.

He also hugged Jing Chunxi tightly from behind, resting his head on her back, treating his sister like a treasure he had lost and found again. Pu Ge'er's voice was anxious, with a hint of tears in it. He had been so scared during this period, afraid that his sister would not come back.

"Sister, don't go anywhere in the future. In two years, when Pu Ge'er grows up, he will go in your place." Pu Ge'er clung to his sister's back, wanting a promise from Jing Chunxi, but Jing Chunxi was too busy to comfort him.

After a long time, the family of three had had enough of each other and separated, smiling at everyone with incomparable happiness and satisfaction.

Aunt Mi stood behind Jing Qiurong, looking at them with a kind smile. Her face was wrinkled, but her eyes were gentle and bright. As she watched the family reunion, her heart was filled with warmth. She was also extremely happy that her child had returned.

Seeing that the three of them finally stopped sticking together, Aunt Mi bowed to Jing Chunxi.

"Miss, let my sister go back to her room and wash up first. I've asked Jing Yi to go to the kitchen and tell them to hurry up and make arrangements. Once everyone is ready, we can set up the dinner." Aunt Mi said to Jing Qiurong with a smile. Her voice was soft and warm, with a soothing tone.

She turned her head and said to Jing Chunxi, "Miss, wash yourself, eat well and have a rest. Your mother was so happy to know you were back that she didn't sleep all night! She was talking about you the whole night." There was a hint of blame in Aunt Mi's tone, but more of it was concern for them.

"Why hasn't she arrived yet? We've heard that so many times tonight that our ears are numb." Aunt Mi's words set the crowd ablaze with laughter. The aunt had spent the entire evening worrying about the young lady's safety, constantly repeating her name. This deep bond between mother and daughter moved everyone.

A maid also confirmed: "I am worried about my ears getting calloused, so I hide behind the banyan tree."

This teasing remark made everyone laugh even more happily, and the atmosphere became cheerful.

Jing Chunxi greeted them one by one, afraid of missing anyone.

"I bought some local specialties for everyone, and there are also small gifts for the children. When Tangshuang and Chuntao have had a good rest, you can ask them for them." Jing Chunxi spoke as loudly as possible so that everyone could hear.

"Young lady is so kind! She still thinks of us when she goes out." The old woman's voice was obviously moved.

"Thank you, miss!"

Everyone was extremely happy to be remembered by the young lady.

After a round of greetings, everyone finally calmed down. But Pu Ge'er and Jin Jie'er both came over, not wanting to leave Jing Chunxi. Even you are dependent on her.

Yan Jie'er even reached out to Jing Chunxi, asking for a hug, but was snatched away by Bilian. Her little butt was even patted: "Sister Xi just got back and is tired! Don't be naughty."

"Ah Qi, tell them to put the carriages and horses in order and not to mess around. Don't unload them yet.

Let everyone go back and wash up first. People in the village should not be lazy. When you are full, get up and help. "

Jing Chunxi heard his master's voice coming from not far away, but didn't see him. He missed him very much.

"After we've eaten, Uncle Qi, you guys just give us the instructions and we'll be in charge of the moving." The children echoed one after another, talking at the same time with a very firm attitude.

They all knew that this was Qingshan Villa's business, and everyone had the responsibility and obligation to complete it.

"That's right, we've come such a long way, how can we not take a break when we get home? Let's move together." The voice of a woman came over again. Everyone understood that such a long journey, especially at night, would tire even the toughest man out, so how could they continue to suffer?

"This is all Qingshan Villa's business. We are not outsiders. Don't worry, we will handle it with care and will never damage it." Qingshan Villa is their home, and they are willing to give everything for this home.

A few servants didn't even wait until after the meal and ran over immediately. They were the best at directing the carriages and horses, so they just lent a hand.

Everyone was in high spirits. The sleepiness that had been building up from waiting for so long disappeared immediately when they saw familiar people coming back.
