An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

"Miss"

Hongfen, who was squeezed behind the door, finally saw the young lady. She jumped up and shouted with her mouth wide open, laughing extremely happily.

The young lady had been out for so long without her, and she had waited day after day. Finally, she had waited for the young lady to return. How could she not be happy? Her eyes flashed with a long-awaited light, as if all the waiting had turned into a heart full of joy at this moment.

Hongfen was too happy to show it on her face. She just stared at the young lady with a blank smile. She didn't react immediately after hearing what Mi Mama said. Qingyi, who was also standing behind her, gently pushed her and urged her, "Hurry up and get some hot water. Didn't you hear that the young lady wanted to take a bath and change clothes? What are you still standing there for?"

Although Qingyi's voice was somewhat reproachful, there was also a hint of doting in her tone. After all, anyone who saw Hongfen's innocence and joy would feel soft-hearted.

"I understand! Aunt Qingyi!"

Hongfen finally realized what was happening, and she spun around in joy, nearly falling. She quickly regained her balance, made a face at Qingyi, and ran off with a grin. Her steps were as light as a bird's, as if even her steps carried the wind. Her nimble figure flashed across the corridor, making everyone who saw her smile.

Jing Chunxi held her mother's arm with one hand, Pu Ge'er holding her other, as the three of them walked together toward the Second Hospital. She clung to her mother, feeling the familiar warmth and comfort. Her gaze drifted across the familiar courtyard and those familiar faces, a long-lost sense of belonging welling up in her heart.

Many children wanted to follow in, but were stopped by Aunt Mi: "Go! Go! Go! Go outside to join in the fun. Didn't you hear that the young lady wants to take a bath? Can you help?" Although Aunt Mi's words were harsh, there was a kindness in her tone. She was just blaming them for being too enthusiastic and not considering the situation.

Qingyi and Ziyi also called out: "If you have nothing to do, you can go to the kitchen to help set the table and serve the dishes, so that they can eat hot food as soon as possible." Let everyone do their own job, and be busy but not chaotic. This is the proper way.

In Jing Chunxi's room, "Sister is going to take a bath and change clothes, why are you following her?" Pu Ge'er was patted by his mother, but he didn't get angry. He pouted and said, "I'm not going into the bathroom with you. I can just sit in your room and wait. Is that not okay?" There was a hint of grievance in his eyes, but also a bit of stubbornness. He just wanted to stay with his sister. What's wrong? Mother, really!

Before this trip, Pu Ge'er acted like a little adult. He hadn't seen his sister for only two or three months, but now he started to cling to her again.

Jing Chunxi found it inexplicably funny and coaxed him, "You are the young master of this family. Everyone has worked hard along the way, and your mother is not outside, so you don't even go to see her." There was a hint of sarcasm in her words, but also a bit of concern, reminding Pu Ge'er to shoulder his responsibilities.

Pu Ge'er looked a little hesitant, thinking that what his sister said was indeed reasonable. Their family of three had all come back into the house, and if the people outside came back and didn't see the owner, they would feel uneasy and might even feel disappointed, or think that the owner was dissatisfied with them.

He wanted to go out, but he seemed a little reluctant. After all, his sister had just come back, and he had a lot to say to her. He also wanted to hear about her experiences along the way.

Jing Chunxi added, "We have brought back a lot of good things. The prince's gifts for you alone are a whole box. I signed a working contract to bring someone back with me. He is one year older than Xiaoman and will study math with you in the future. Why don't you go and get acquainted with him?" The temptation in her words was to use new things to divert Pu Ge'er's attention.

"Ah? Then I'll go take a look first."

Pu Ge'er was indeed excited when he heard this, but he ran a few steps and turned back. He said loudly to Jing Chunxi, "I'll have breakfast with my sister later. Mother has already told the teacher that she will give everyone two days off when my sister comes back."

No wonder adults and children stayed up all night and gathered at the mansion. Jing Chunxi smiled. For children who worked hard to study and practice martial arts, the happiest time should be when they have a day off. How could they sleep well with two extra days off?

After Pu Ge'er finished speaking, he ran out excitedly, his footsteps moving lightly, and he disappeared at the door in the blink of an eye.

Jing Chunxi shook his head and looked at Pu Ge'er's departing back, feeling a little doting in his heart.

She turned around and saw that the maid had already brought in the hot water. She looked at her mother and said, "It felt like a long time since I was out. I didn't expect that the school would have already started when I came back." There was a hint of emotion in her voice. This trip made her experience too much, and time seemed to be particularly long.

Jing Qiurong helped her take off her coat and said with a smile, "Don't classes at the provincial school start after the Lantern Festival? Who told you to come back so late?" There was a hint of anger in her smile, but also a bit of doting. She was blaming Jing Chunxi for coming back too late, but she felt sorry for her hard work along the way.

Jing Chunxi chuckled, not arguing. There were so many things to do while she was away, and it wasn't like she could just come back anytime soon. She sighed softly, feeling a surge of emotion. She had experienced so much and learned so much on this trip. Although it had been arduous, it had also been very rewarding.

"Mom, is everything okay at home? I can't remember how many letters I've written to you. I can't get any messages from you at all, and I'm so worried."

Jing Chunxi looked at her mother expectantly, and held out her hands for Hongfen to continue taking off her clothes. She was still very worried when she was away from home. Home was what she cared about the most. She was afraid that something unexpected would happen when she was not able to take care of it.

"Why are you thinking so much? With your Uncle Jing here, what could possibly happen at home? Go take a shower quickly." Jing Qiurong patted her shoulder gently, her tone full of comfort and her expression very natural.

"Hongfen, rub the lady carefully. If it is too dirty, change the water more often. Soaking it for a longer time can relieve fatigue." Jing Qiurong nagging a few more words.

Seeing that his mother's expression didn't seem to be lying, Jing Chunxi knew that there should be nothing serious happening in the village, and he finally felt relieved.

But after hearing what her mother said next, she found it a little funny: "Look at what you said, mother, it's as if I don't even take a shower when I stay in the inn. I'm afraid that Hongfen will rub my skin off with your order." This sentence made Jing Qiurong laugh.

Hongfen hurriedly pushed the young lady into the clean room, saying with a smile, "My aunt is so concerned that she's confused. These past few days, she's been asking me to tidy up the young lady's room over and over again. She's even changed the bedding twice in three days. She also urges Master Jing to wait at the intersection dozens of miles away every day."

The servants all knew Jing Yi was someone of some importance, someone whom the masters, both great and small, treated with special regard. Therefore, they dared not look down on him and usually addressed him as "Master Jing." They were both in awe of Jing Yi and felt close to him, naturally considering him one of their own.

Jing Chunxi took off the last of his clothes, stepped into the tub, and sat down. Then he realized, "No wonder the bonfire was lit so early in the morning. Did you guys know we were arriving this morning?"

"That's natural!"

Hongfen's answer was extremely confident.
