Traveling Through Farmhouses: Taking the Baby on a Famine Escape

After breakfast, everyone went to school or herded cattle, each with their own things to do. Zhang Xixi and Zhou Fu went to the fields again.

In the sweet potato field, Wang Daniu and his colleagues were already digging sweet potatoes. They were very hardworking, usually working in the field as soon as it got light.

When Zhang Xixi and the others arrived, Zhou Dashan also arrived with the villagers. They greeted each other and then got to work.

Zhang Dacheng and the others continued to come and help. When Zhang Xixi saw her family members helping, she wanted to offer them wages as well, but Chen refused, saying, "We're family, why are you being so polite? Don't you expect to get paid for all the food you brought from home?"

"Mother, that's for your filial piety, you can't confuse it with this!"

"Just listen to me!"

Seeing Chen's determined expression, Zhang Xixi had no choice but to outwardly compromise, but she still thought about buying them some gifts in private.

When Li Kuiqi brought Zhou Yuhao and the others over, they saw a bustling scene in the sweet potato field.

"Hey girls, how many sweet potatoes did you dig up?!"

"Not much, almost 100,000 jin!"

"That's perfect! I brought a lot of oxcarts today, these should be enough to hold them all!"

"Then let's get on the scale!"

Zhang Xixi quickly called Zhou Fu over to keep the accounts.

Zhou Yuhao also walked around the sweet potato field and immediately spotted a familiar figure from behind. He exclaimed in surprise, "Big Cousin!"

Zhou Dashan turned around, looked at Zhou Yuhao, and didn't recognize him at first. "Who are you?"

Upon seeing Zhou Dashan's face and confirming it was him, Zhou Yuhao exclaimed excitedly, "Big cousin, it's me, Zhou Yuhao!"

"Brother Hao, it really is you!" Zhou Dashan leaned closer to take a look at Zhou Yuhao and became excited as well.

"It's me, I'm back!"

The villagers nearby also looked at Zhou Yuhao in surprise.

"Third Uncle, aren't you dead?"

"Third Uncle, they all say you're dead!"

Zhou Dashan looked at Zhou Yuhao with a puzzled expression, "Brother Hao, what exactly is going on?"

"I don't know what happened either; maybe they made a mistake."

Zhou Dashan said, "Let's not talk about the past. It's good that you're back alive!"

Zhou Yuhao hummed in agreement, "Cousin, my parents..."

“Come, let’s sit down and talk,” Zhou Dashan invited.

The villagers also wanted to join in the fun, but Zhou Dashan scolded them, "Don't you want your wages anymore!"

Zhou Dashan recounted in detail everything that had happened since Zhou Yuhao left.

The more Zhou Yuhao heard, the more guilty he felt, almost overwhelmed by guilt.

"Where are my brother and wife?!"

Zhou Dashan slapped his forehead, realizing he'd been too excited to remember this. "This is your sweet potato field."

After he finished speaking, he waved to Zhang Xixi and shouted loudly, "Sister-in-law, your husband is back!"

Zhang Xixi only saw Zhou Dashan waving at her, but didn't hear what he said. In case anything happened, she still walked over.

Zhou Yuhao also walked in that direction, and when the two met, they sized each other up.

Zhou Dashan followed behind, and seeing that neither of them spoke, he had no choice but to say, "Sister-in-law, this is your husband, don't you remember him!"

Zhang Xixi looked at the person she had seen once at the restaurant in town and asked in surprise, "Big brother, who are you talking about? Isn't my husband dead?"

"No, he's still alive, he's back!" Zhou Dashan said, pointing at Zhou Yuhao.

Zhang Xixi searched through the original owner's memories, but found very few about Zhou Yuhao. His face was blurry, but his figure did resemble him somewhat. That was all she knew.

My husband, whom I thought was dead, suddenly reappears in front of me. What should I do as a wife who has never lived with him before? I'm so anxious and waiting for your advice online!

Zhang Xixi facepalmed. This is truly unbelievable!

Zhou Yuhao was also a little at a loss, as his wife clearly didn't remember him!

Although he didn't remember his wife very well, this awkward situation was different from what he had imagined!

Zhou Dashan looked at Zhou Yuhao, then at Zhang Xixi. The two hadn't known each other for very long, so it was understandable that they didn't remember each other. They would get used to it over time!

"Now that Yuhao is back, you two should catch up. After all, you're husband and wife, you'll get used to each other eventually!"

After saying that, Zhou Dashan went to dig sweet potatoes, leaving Zhang Xixi and the others with the space.

Zhang Xixi was really embarrassed and didn't know what to say. She looked up and saw that Li Kuiqi's car was almost full, so she quickly said, "Take a look around first. I have something to do. We'll talk later."

Before Zhou Yuhao could react, he saw Zhang Xixi running towards the convoy like a rabbit. He smiled and followed behind.

Being tall is an advantage; Zhou Yuhao caught up with Zhang Xixi in just a few steps. "Why are you walking so fast!"

Zhang Xixi was taken aback for a moment, "I have important business to attend to, why did you follow me here!"

"I also have important business to attend to; I need to let my brothers know."

Zhang Xixi pouted, "Brothers have to greet each other!"

Zhou Yuhao's lips twitched. "I wanted to tell them to go back with Manager Li first!"

"So you're not coming back!"

Zhang Xixi thought to herself, "If this person stays, how will we live in the future?"

Can we get a divorce?

No, will divorce affect the two babies?

When Li Kuiqi saw Zhang Xixi and the others approaching, he greeted them with a smile, "Little sister, the sweet potatoes are all loaded onto the truck, so we'll be saying our goodbyes now!"

Zhang Xixi snapped out of her daze and urged, "Mr. Li, it's almost noon. Why don't you stay for lunch before you leave?"

Li Kuiqi waved his hand, "Thank you very much, sister. We need to get going, so we won't stay any longer!" After saying that, he handed the one thousand taels of silver notes to Zhang Xixi.

"Then take care!"

Zhou Yuhao, who was standing next to him, had already explained the situation to his brothers. Seeing that Li Kuiqi was about to leave, he quickly stepped forward and told him that he wanted to stay.

After seeing Li Kuiqi and the others off, Zhang Xixi invited Chen Shi and the others, as well as Zhou Dashan and Zhou Dahai, to her home for dinner. She also asked Zhou Fu to go to the school and invite Zhang Wenbo over as well.

The reason for inviting so many people was mainly to confirm whether this Zhou Yuhao was real, because she really had no recollection of him.

Chen and Zhang Xixi went back to prepare the meal first. On the way, Chen asked, "Daughter, that tall, handsome man looks familiar to me. Do you know him?"

Zhang Xixi lowered her voice and said, "Mom, he said he is Zhou Yuhao!"

"Speak louder! Wait a minute, what's his name?" Chen grabbed Zhang Xixi.

"Zhou Yuhao," Zhang Xixi repeated.

Chen exclaimed in surprise, "This... isn't that the name of Da Bao's dead father?!"

"No wonder you looked so familiar, it's my son-in-law! Why didn't you say so earlier while you were in the field!"

Zhang Xixi explained helplessly, "I don't remember him, and I'm not sure if this is the person. I wanted you to confirm it first before I said anything."
