Traveling Through Farmhouses: Taking the Baby on a Famine Escape

Chen patted Zhang Xixi on the shoulder, "You don't recognize your own husband."

Zhang Xixi said awkwardly, "Mom, I only met him once. How could he possibly remember me after all this time!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's good that your husband is back alive. Let's go home and cook something delicious to treat him properly."

After returning home, Chen made Zhang Xixi bring out all the good things in the house, and even picked seven or eight tomatoes herself and brought them into the kitchen, keeping Sun Xiuxiu and Zhang Xixi running around in circles.

That old woman is so happy today!

I thought my daughter would be a widow for life, but heaven took pity on her and brought her son-in-law back!

Now my daughter has someone to rely on!

When Zhang Wenbo returned with the children, Chen and the others had already prepared several main dishes: stir-fried rabbit meat cubes, braised pork, and braised chicken, turning all the meat they had at home into dishes.

When Da Bao entered the kitchen and saw the abundant food, he asked in surprise, "Grandma, what's the occasion? Why is there so much delicious food?"

Madam Chen tapped Da Bao's nose before smiling and saying, "Da Bao, your father is back! Aren't you happy?"

"Wasn't Father dead? Has he come back to life?!"

When Zhou Yujie and Erbao came in, they heard the news and looked at Chen Shi in confusion. Could people really be resurrected after they die? Could their grandparents (parents) also be resurrected?

"Your father isn't dead; there was a mistake before."

Zhou Yujie and Erbao both lowered their heads in disappointment, missing their parents (grandparents) so much!

Ignoring their sadness, Da Bao asked again, "Did my dad come back riding a big horse?"

Chen hesitated for a moment, but seeing Da Bao's expectant eyes, she still replied, "Of course!"

"Grandma, where is my dad now?!"

"They're in the sweet potato field; they should be back soon!"

Da Bao happily grabbed Er Bao and Zhou Yujie's hands and left the kitchen, "Uncle, Er Bao, let's go find Daddy!"

When Zhang Xixi saw Da Bao and the others running outside in the yard, she quickly stopped them, saying, "It's time to eat! Where are you going?"

Da Bao shouted, "Let's go find Daddy!"

After saying that, he led Erbao and Zhou Yujie out.

Hearing this, Zhang Wenbo looked at Zhang Xixi in confusion, "Little sister, isn't Da Bao and the others' father dead!"

"Yes! The dead are now alive again!"

After leaving the kitchen, Chen glared at Zhang Xixi upon hearing this, before pulling Zhang Wenbo aside and explaining the situation to him.

When Da Bao and the others arrived at the door, they saw Zhang Dacheng and his group coming up. Er Bao and Zhou Yujie immediately stopped in their tracks.

Da Bao rushed over, shouting, "Grandpa, where's my dad?!"

Hearing the voice, Zhou Yuhao stepped forward, looked at the chubby little boy in front of him, and asked, "Is this my son?"

Zhang Dacheng and the others smiled and nodded.

Da Bao looked up at Zhou Yuhao and asked, "Are you my dad?"

"Yes, you must be Da Bao!"

Zhou Yuhao quickly picked up Dabao, who was looking back and asked, "Dad, where's your horse?!"

"what!"

Da Bao whispered in Zhou Yuhao's ear and repeated, "Didn't Grandma say you rode back on a big horse?"

"My horse is down there, I couldn't bring it up."

Erbao and Zhou Yujie hesitated at the door, wondering if the tall man in front of them was their father (eldest brother).

"Erbao, shall we go over there?"

"Uncle, I don't know either!"

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Yuhao carried Da Bao to the door. Da Bao happily introduced, "Uncle, Er Bao, this is Daddy."

Zhou Yuhao looked at the two people at the door, put down Da Bao, walked forward, picked up Er Bao, and then looked at Zhou Yujie.

"Yujie, you've grown so much!"

Looking at Zhou Yuhao's face, which was almost unchanged from his memory, Zhou Yujie's eyes immediately reddened. "Big brother, you're finally back!"

Zhou Yuhao's eyes also reddened. "I'm back!"

When Madam Chen came out and saw the injured scene, she quickly greeted him, "It's good that my son-in-law is back, come in and have some dinner!"

Zhou Yuhao called out to Chen Shi, "Mother-in-law!"

"Let's go!"

Zhang Dacheng and the others followed them into the courtyard.

The second child, nestled in Erbao's arms, asked, "Are you really my dad?"

Seeing the doubt in Erbao's eyes, Zhou Yuhao said seriously, "I am Zhou Yuhao, your and Dabao's father."

"Dad, put me down. I'm a grown-up now!"

"Who told you you're an adult?" Zhou Yuhao asked.

Erbao said with a stern face, "This is my own opinion. Put me down quickly."

Seeing Zhou Yuhao and Erbao still whispering to each other, Zhang Xixi quickly said, "What are you two dawdling for? Come and wash your hands and eat!"

Zhou Yuhao and Erbao exchanged a glance, then Zhou Yuhao had no choice but to put Erbao down and quickly went to wash his hands.

At the dinner table, Zhou Dashan, as the eldest brother, first reintroduced the Zhang family members and then had Zhou Yuhao serve tea to Zhang Dacheng and his wife before starting the meal.

Everyone had a lively meal at Zhang Xixi's house.

After the meal, the Zhou brothers and Zhang Dacheng left, leaving their family alone for a while.

After lunch, the two children and Zhou Yujie kept pestering Zhou Yuhao with questions. When it was time for school, they still wouldn't leave. Zhang Xixi had no choice but to urge them, "Yujie, Dabao, Erbao, hurry up and go to school, you'll be late!"

Da Bao asked pitifully, "Mom, can I not go to school today?"

"No, go now!"

Zhou Yuhao said, "Let's go, Dad will take you there!"

Da Bao ran happily to the kitchen door and hugged Da Zui, "I'm going to school now. I want Er Niu and the others to see my dad too."

Zhang Xixi laughed, wondering who Da Bao inherited his boastful nature from.

Could it be this man's?

Zhang Xixi watched Zhou Yuhao's retreating figure, lost in thought.

Little Jin dragged a deer back and saw its owner standing silently in the yard. It roared in confusion, "What's wrong with the owner?!"

When Zhang Xixi came to her senses, she saw a deer lying on the ground. She hadn't eaten venison in a long time and was starting to crave it!

She looked up at Xiao Jin and asked, "Xiao Jin, could you leave some of this venison for us?"

Little Jin roared and pushed the wild deer towards Zhang Xixi, saying, "Master, it's all yours!"

"Little Jin is so good, we only need half!"

Xiao Jin yelled, "It's all yours!" and turned to run back into the mountains.

Zhang Xixi was about to call Zhang Wenhong to help kill the deer when Zhou Yuhao returned just as she reached the door. He was a ready-made helper.

"Do you know how to kill a deer?"

"Yes," Zhou Yuhao replied immediately.

"That's good. Kill the deer inside, keep half of the meat in the kitchen, and take the rest to the west wing to feed Xiaohua."
