Because Zhou Ziwen's family came back, the eldest brother, second brother, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, eldest sister, and eldest brother-in-law Zheng Ming all returned home.
The eldest sister Zhou Xiulan walked into the house with her little nephew in her arms. The little guy was wrapped in a thick cotton coat, only a red face was exposed, and his eyes were rolling around, looking at everything around him curiously.
The eldest sister-in-law Lin Xiaomei and the second sister-in-law Liu Huifang followed behind. The eldest sister-in-law was holding small toys for the children, while the second sister-in-law was carrying some fresh fruits bought from the market.
The eldest sister-in-law smiled and said to Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan: "Come on, babies, let's see what aunt has brought for you."
With that said, he handed them the small toys. Little Yueyue and Little Xuanxuan's eyes lit up, they carefully took the toys and whispered: "Thank you, auntie."
Second sister-in-law Liu Huifang also said with a smile: "This fruit is so sweet. Let's try it later."
The eldest brother-in-law Zheng Ming smiled gently. He gently touched Xiao Xuanxuan’s head and said to Zhou Ziwen:
"Ziwen, your life in the country must be wonderful. Looking at your state, you can tell that you are living a good life."
Zhou Ziwen smiled and nodded, and began to tell every detail of his time in Dabazi Village.
The family sat together, laughing and laughing.
Zhou Xiaomei took the hands of Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying and said excitedly: "Sister-in-law, sister Shiying, you are back, I am almost bored to death."
Chen Qiaoyi smiled and said: "Little sister, we miss you too. We brought you a lot of fun things when we came back this time."
With that said, he took out some handicrafts brought from Dabazi Village and handed them to Zhou Xiaomei.
These things were all made by Zhou Ziwen when he was bored in the countryside.
Zhou Xiaomei happily took it and couldn't put it down.
The eldest brother Zhou Jianhua listened carefully to Zhou Ziwen's account of the village affairs, nodding his head in approval from time to time.
He said: "Little brother, the things you do in the village are very meaningful. It not only improves the lives of the villagers, but also exercises yourself. Keep working hard, big brother believes you will do better."
Zhou Ziwen looked at his elder brother gratefully and said, "Brother, thank you for your support. I will work hard."
As Zhou Ziwen narrated, the atmosphere at home became more and more warm.
Zhou Guohua, Zhou Ziwen's second brother, couldn't help but chime in. His humor made the whole family laugh.
At the dinner table, Zhou's mother was busy, constantly picking up food for everyone, especially Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying. She always took special care of them, making them feel the warmth of home.
Dad Zhou was sitting on the main seat, looking at the large family with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Ziwen, it's not easy for you to achieve such an achievement in the countryside." Dad Zhou said with emotion, "Our Zhou family is proud of you."
Zhou Ziwen responded humbly: "Dad, this is what I should do. And, without the support of my family, I would not be able to do this."
After the meal, the family sat in the living room and continued chatting.
Zhou Xiulan and Zheng Ming shared interesting stories about their children's recent growth, while Zhou Jianhua and Zhou Guohua discussed work matters.
Zhou Xiaomei pulled Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying aside and excitedly asked about the customs and customs of Dabazi Village. The three women chatted happily.
Zhou Ziwen and his eldest brother Zhou Jianhua were sitting on the balcony, enjoying the winter sunshine and talking about future development plans.
Zhou Jianhua was particularly interested in Zhou Ziwen's mushroom cultivation and pig farm projects, and Zhou Ziwen told him some about it.
As night falls, the children begin to feel sleepy, and the families gradually disperse, each going home to rest.
Zhou Ziwen, Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying returned to their rooms. Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan were already asleep in bed.
Looking at the peaceful sleeping faces of the children, Zhou Ziwen felt a warm current in his heart.
"Qiaoyi, Shiying, thank you for your hard work." Zhou Ziwen said softly.
Chen Qiaoyi smiled and shook her head: "As long as you can be with your family, no matter how hard it is, it's worth it." Chen Shiying also nodded in agreement.
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, their hearts filled with longing and hope for the future.
There was no talking all night, and the next morning, both Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi slept in.
Returning from the countryside, the fatigue of the journey and the excitement of being reunited with their families made them feel particularly tired.
The sun shines through the curtains and gently shines on their faces until they wake up naturally.
After stretching, Chen Qiaoyi said softly to Chen Shiying: "I slept so well. I feel more energetic."
Chen Shiying nodded, she walked to the window and opened the curtains to let the sunlight shine into the room more fully.
"Yeah, I haven't been this relaxed for a long time."
Chen Shiying responded with a smile. Her eyes fell on the yard outside the window, and she saw Zhou Ziwen playing with the children, with a happy smile on her face.
In the yard, Zhou Ziwen took Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan to build a snowman in the yard.
The children's laughter was clear and sweet. They were running around in the snow, their little hands were red from the cold but they were never tired of it.

Zhou Ziwen threw snowballs at the children from time to time, causing them to scream and run away.
Xiao Xuanxuan is still too young and has just learned to walk. He staggers behind little Yueyue, falling on the soft snow from time to time, and then getting up again with a giggle.
Zhou Ziwen guarded them carefully, fearing that they would get cold or hurt from falling.
Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying got dressed and walked downstairs to join in the fun in the snow.
Chen Qiaoyi picked up Xiao Xuanxuan and helped him wipe the snow off his face, while Chen Shiying picked up the shovel and started to help Zhou Ziwen build a snowman.
"Be careful, don't freeze." Chen Shiying said to the children with concern, her voice full of maternal love.
"Mom, I want to build a big snowman!" Little Yueyue shouted excitedly, her little face turning red with excitement.
"Okay, let's build a big snowman together."
Chen Qiaoyi responded with a smile. She put Xiao Xuanxuan down and let him sit on the snow. She picked up a small shovel and taught him how to shovel the snow.
The family was busy in the snow, and laughter and laughter could be heard from time to time.
Mother Zhou looked at the lively scene in the yard with a happy smile on her face.
"Yiyi, Shiying, stop playing and come in to eat." Zhou's mother shouted with a smile.
They were the only ones who got up the latest, everyone else had already eaten.
Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying heard Zhou's mother's call, smiled at each other, and then waved to the children.
"Yueyue, Xuanxuan, let's stop playing. Let's go eat." Chen Qiaoyi said softly.
Although Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan were still a little reluctant to leave, they followed Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying into the house obediently after their mother called.
Zhou Ziwen picked up the children's shovels and toys and returned to the warm home together.
In the kitchen, Zhou Ma has prepared breakfast for Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying, including hot porridge, fresh steamed buns, and several side dishes.
"Eat quickly, don't get hungry." Zhou's mother said with a smile.
Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying sat down and started enjoying breakfast.
While they were eating, they chatted about interesting things about the children. Zhou's mother also joined the conversation, and the laughter of the three of them echoed in the kitchen. (End of chapter)
