The beauty who wears fast has many babies

Houfu Zhuangzi.

"Dad, the farm has allocated eight acres of good farmland to us!" Dongyang's loud and excited voice was heard before anyone arrived.

"Eight acres? All good land?" Dong's father asked in disbelief.

"Yes, Dad, and it's not far from our home, only half an incense stick of time." Dong Xiang nodded affirmatively, his face full of joy.

"Not only that, Dad, when Manager Li left, he also said that he would only collect 30% of the rent." Dongguang agreed.

"Oh, it must be someone from the Marquis' Mansion who gave the greeting. I think it was the Marquis's wife. Otherwise, how could I, the boss, have the honor to do this?" Dong's father had mixed feelings in his heart.

No matter what, life has to go on.

"Dad, isn't it the Marquis' Mansion's responsibility to help us?! If it weren't for the Marquis' Mansion, my brother wouldn't have died!" Dongyang couldn't stand the gratitude in his father's tone towards the Marquis' Mansion.

"Be careful with what you say and do!" Dong Xiang stopped Dong's father immediately before he could say anything.

"Third brother, you have to change your hateful temper." Xiuniang also hurriedly advised.

"Third brother, we are living under someone else's roof now, so there are some things we can't say carelessly." Dong's mother agreed earnestly.

"Humph."

Seeing that his family was trying to persuade him, Dongyang snorted in dissatisfaction and turned around to weed the yard.

"Third brother..."

Seeing him like this, Dong's father knew that he still had a grudge against Dong Fan. They had always had the best relationship since childhood, and the fourth child was a taciturn person, so he wanted to comfort him again.

"Dad, forget it, let him think about it himself." Dong Xiang grabbed his father's arm and shook his head.

"Ugh."

Dong's father sighed, and said nothing more. He turned around and started to tidy up the half-collapsed woodshed.

The family members were busy doing their own jobs, and the two younger ones were running around pouring water and picking weeds for the family.

Xiuniang and Dongmu were responsible for cleaning the dust in the house. Dongguang looked around and found a long stick to beat the spider webs under the eaves.

The sun set in the west and the sky gradually darkened. The family was already starving.

"Dad, you guys take a rest, I'll go cook first." Xiuniang said and put down the rag in her hand.

"Sister-in-law, don't bother. I see there are some cakes in the basket that the wife of the Marquis had someone prepare. Just eat them with some salted vegetables." Dongyang was too tired to move.

"Yes, Xiuniang, you must be exhausted. You should rest for a while and I will get it." Dongxiang held his wife and asked her to accompany the two children.

"Come, sit down and rest for a while." Dong's mother patted the chair next to her.

Seeing this, Xiuniang no longer insisted and was indeed exhausted.

Not long after, Dongxiang brought the backpack over and opened it. The whole family was stunned.

There were about 20 pounds of white rice underneath, and a dozen small paper bags on top. When they were opened, they contained fine salt, white sugar, brown sugar, peanuts and other dried fruits, as well as two large pieces of greasy meat. On top was a bag of pancakes. When the porcelain jars next to them were opened, the smell of salty and fragrant meat sauce immediately wafted out.

"Oh, these are all good things." Dong's mother shouted.

"Mom, some meat." The three-year-old girl bit her fingers and drooled as she looked at the fatty pork belly on the table.

Ping An next to him didn't say anything, but he couldn't help swallowing. After all, he was just a four-year-old child.

Feeling the gazes of his family, Dong's father smiled for the first time in a while.

"You must be starving, let's eat!" After saying that, he picked up a pancake and handed it to Niu Niu.

After Dong Xiang heard his father's words, he began to distribute the cakes.

Dongyang looked at the pancake his brother handed him, hesitated for a moment, then took it and took a big bite. No matter who gave the pancake, he had to eat it and survive first.

For a moment, the only sound was the family chewing their dinner.

"Cough cough."

Dong Xiang suddenly put down the pancake in his hand and coughed.

"What happened to Xiang'er? Did he choke?"

Dong's mother stopped adding meat sauce to Ping'an and asked hurriedly.

"Brother." Dongguang quickly got a bowl of water and handed it over.

The water had been heated on the stove earlier. They had intended to heat it up a bit, but after the family washed and cleaned, the water still wasn't completely hot.

Dong Xiang drank some water which seemed to relieve the pain a little, but his cough gradually became louder.

"Cough, cough, it's okay, cough!"

"Oh, Xiuniang, where is Xiang'er's medicine?" Dong's mother knew at a glance that it was her cough that had come back.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiuniang took out a small bottle, poured out a small pill and stuffed it into Dongxiang's mouth.

After swallowing it with the water, Dong Xiang's complexion recovered a little. Seeing that everyone in the family was looking at him, he comforted them, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Brother, my fourth brother and I have grown up." Dongyang, who had been silent, said seriously.

"Okay, I just ate the pancake in a hurry and choked." Dong Xiang naturally knew what he meant.

"Can!"

Before Dongyang could finish his words, he heard the sound of horse hooves outside, and the sound was getting closer and closer.

The Dong family all looked outside the door.

Dongyang and Dongguang exchanged a glance, then quickly stood up, taking a defensive stance. The sound of horse hooves stopped at the door, followed by a knock.

Father Dong looked at the door nervously, wondering if someone from the Marquis' Mansion had come to retrieve these things?

Xiuniang hugged her daughter tightly, while Dong's mother held her son's hand.

Dongyang took a deep breath and walked forward to open the door.

However, just one glance made his eyes fill with tears and he couldn't stop trembling.

"Second brother!" Dongyang suddenly burst into tears.

There were two people outside the door. Dong Fan's face was still bruised, and he was carrying a small bag, but he was smiling. Next to him was Wu Fan, who had been responsible for escorting Dong Fan back. He held the horse reins with one hand and supported Dong Fan with the other, always preventing him from collapsing.

"what?!"

"Is it Fanzi?"

"elder brother?"

"Second brother!"

"It's Second Uncle~"

"Dad! Mom! It's Xiaofan!"

For a moment, the family was so happy that they cried and hurriedly supported each other to walk outside. After seeing the person outside the door clearly, they couldn't help crying.

"Son, you are finally back..." Dong's mother said in a trembling voice, her eyes blurred with tears.

"Son, you have suffered a lot these years... What happened?" The man also choked and held Dong Fan's hand tightly.

Dong Fan looked at his family, who seemed both familiar and unfamiliar. He felt a mixture of emotions. He gently wiped the tears from his parents' faces and comforted them, "Mom and Dad, I'm fine. Don't worry."

However, when he saw their emaciated faces and tattered clothes, his heart ached. They must have suffered a lot during this period and their lives were very difficult.

Dong Fan secretly made up his mind to make sure his family lived a good life and no longer suffered any hardship. He hugged each of his relatives tightly, feeling the warmth and affection.

At this time, the neighbors gathered around to congratulate Dong Fan and his family on their reunion and asked about his experiences outside. Dong Fan greeted everyone with a smile and just said that he had been out on business.

The whole yard was filled with laughter and the atmosphere was warm and cozy. Dong Fan knew that this was the feeling of home. No matter how prosperous the outside world was, this was always his warmest harbor.
