CHAPTER 922: CHAPTER 924: NEVER COMING BACK TO THIS DUMP AGAIN

"Honey, you’re finally back."

Xiaoxiao almost flew over, her whole body lunging toward Yang Ming as he jumped off the carriage. She really missed him so much, she realized her dependence on Yang Ming was even stronger than she thought.

Yang Ming caught his wife in his arms, and the two of them embraced tightly in the courtyard under everyone’s gaze. He missed her a lot too.

"Honey, I missed you to death."

Xiaoxiao has always been like this; she needs to express her feelings of missing him.

"Honey, how have you been these days? I was worried sick."

"It’s all those stupid soldiers’ fault, keeping us from leaving and delaying us for so long."

"This lousy place, let’s never come back again."

"..."

"..."

Xiaoxiao kept complaining in Yang Ming’s arms, voicing her grievances and dissatisfaction, but in Yang Ming’s ears, all he felt was heartache. He finally saw his wife again, heard her voice again, and he, too, was dependent on his wife.

"Wife, I missed you too."

"How have you been these days? Did anyone bully you?"

"How’s our son?"

"Let’s leave now, and never come back to this lousy place."

"..."

"..."

The two of them embraced, lost in their own world, unwilling to let go of each other’s hands.

Until a discordant voice broke the harmonious atmosphere, "Hey, girl, is breakfast ready?"

Seeing that the big brother came out, Shitou’s mother quickly tried to smooth things over, "Big brother, it’ll be ready soon, you just wait in the kitchen. Little Shitou, take your uncle to the kitchen."

"Alright." Little Shitou nodded, walked over to the unfamiliar man, "Uncle, let’s go to the kitchen first, breakfast will be ready soon."

The unfamiliar man glanced at the door; actually, he had already heard the voices from inside the house. The village lockdown had ended, and look how happy the girl was.

"Uncle."

Little Shitou called out again when he saw the uncle not speaking or moving.

The unfamiliar man finally withdrew his gaze, with an inexplicable smile on his lips, and followed Little Shitou to the kitchen.

Shitou’s mother breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the footsteps heading towards the kitchen. She didn’t quite like the big brother’s attitude towards Xiaoxiao, as his attitude remained unchanged these days. But Xiaoxiao had ignored him mostly, and now that her husband was back, she hoped that the big brother would restrain himself a bit.

Hearing the noise in the courtyard, Yang Ming and Xiaoxiao finally let go of each other, holding hands as they walked into the courtyard. "Honey, you must be starving, I’ll go get you something to eat."

As soon as his wife said this, Yang Ming’s stomach growled. He had been rushing all the way and was indeed hungry.

Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen to prepare food, while Yang Ming took the chance to check on their son who was still asleep.

When Yang Ming reached the kitchen, Xiaoxiao had already laid out the dishes on the table. "Honey, hurry up and eat."

The group sat down to eat together, and Yang Ming candidly shared what happened in the County with everyone.

Only then did Xiaoxiao come to realize, she thought the issue wouldn’t be resolved so quickly, but it was all thanks to Yang Ming’s efforts.

Xiaoxiao looked at Yang Ming, her eyes full of concern. He had traveled day and night, he must be exhausted. He probably hadn’t eaten or slept much.

"Honey, after you eat, make sure to get some sleep and rest well."
