A familiar smell filled the room, and the furniture was still neatly arranged.
Mother Chen put the children on the sofa and then hurriedly poured tea for everyone.
Father Chen and Zhou Ziwen sat aside and asked them about their journey along the way.
Little Yueyue sat on the sofa and looked at everything around her curiously.
She found a small ornament, played with it in her hand, and muttered something.
Xiao Xuanxuan was babbling on the side, seeming to express his excitement.
Mother Chen came over with tea and said with a smile: "Drink some tea and take a rest."
Everyone took the tea and took a sip, feeling the warmth of home.
Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying got up, walked to the kitchen, and helped Chen's mother prepare meals.
There were bursts of laughter and laughter in the kitchen, while Zhou Ziwen and Dad Chen were chatting in the living room.
"Ziwen, I want to thank you. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have come back so soon." Father Chen said with emotion.
He was sent to the farm because of an unforeseen disaster.
If it weren’t for Zhou Ziwen, I don’t know if he could have come back!
Zhou Ziwen hurriedly said: "Dad, don't say that, this is what I should do. You are the father of Qiaoyi and Shiying. We are a family, and it is natural to help each other."
Father Chen looked at Zhou Ziwen with relief, his eyes full of gratitude and recognition: "Ziwen, you have a heart. The days on the farm were not easy, but every time I think of you at home, I have perseverance." The motivation to go on.”
Zhou Ziwen nodded slightly and said: "Dad, you have suffered. The days will get better and better in the future, just enjoy your life."
At this time, Ma Chen's cheerful voice came from the kitchen: "The food is almost ready, everyone is ready to eat!"
After a while, Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying came out of the kitchen with steaming meals that filled the table.
There are fragrant braised pork, steamed fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, and a variety of fresh vegetables.
Little Yueyue looked at the table full of delicious food and clapped her hands excitedly: "Wow, there are so many delicious foods!"
Everyone sat around the dining table and began to enjoy this sumptuous reunion dinner.
Mother Chen kept picking up dishes for Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan, saying: "Babys, eat more, I see you have lost weight."
Little Yueyue's mouth was glossy after eating, and little Xuanxuan also ate with gusto under Mother Chen's feeding.
Dad Chen picked up the chopsticks and said to Zhou Ziwen with a smile: "Ziwen, try this braised pork. This is your mother's specially made for you. It is your favorite food."
Zhou Ziwen picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into his mouth, and said with satisfaction: "Well, the braised pork made by mom is still so delicious."
At the dinner table, everyone shared interesting stories about each other's lives while enjoying delicious food.
Chen Qiaoyi talked about life in Dabazi Village, her experience of farming, raising chickens, and sheep with Zhou Ziwen, as well as her interactions with the villagers.
Chen Shiying also added on, describing the beautiful scenery and lively festival atmosphere in the village.
Chen's father and Chen's mother listened with rapt attention, as if they could see the life of their daughters in the village.
Mother Chen said with emotion: "Although your life in the village is hard, it is also very fulfilling and happy. Seeing that you are living well makes your dad and I feel relieved."
After the meal, the family sat in the living room and continued chatting.
Little Yueyue was playing with toys on the side, while little Xuanxuan was sleeping quietly in Chen Qiaoyi's arms. Father Chen and Mother Chen are very enthusiastic towards Zhou Ziwen, especially Father Chen, who was released because of Zhou Ziwen. His gratitude to Zhou Ziwen is beyond words.
This time it was rare that both Father Chen and Mother Chen were here, so Zhou Ziwen decided to spend a few more days at Chen's house.
Anyway, it's still early for the Chinese New Year, so it would be nice for the two sisters to spend more time with their parents.
In the following days, Zhou Ziwen accompanied Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying, and took little Yueyue to visit different places in Hangzhou every day.
They went to the West Lake and walked on Su Causeway and Bai Causeway, admiring the scenery of the lake and mountains.
Little Yueyue ran around excitedly, chasing the ducks in the lake, while Zhou Ziwen patiently explained to her the legend and history of West Lake.
"Dad, why is this lake called West Lake?" Little Yueyue asked curiously.
Zhou Ziwen replied with a smile: "Because it is to the west of Hangzhou City, it is called West Lake. There are also many beautiful stories here, such as the legend of White Snake and Xu Xian, who met by the West Lake."
Little Yueyue listened with rapt attention, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.
They also went to the Botanical Garden in Hangzhou, which has a variety of plants and flowers.
Little Yueyue is like a happy bird, flying among the flowers, marveling at the beauty of the flowers from time to time.

Zhou Ziwen, Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying were admiring the beautiful scenery and enjoying their leisure time.
Father Chen and Mother Chen will also participate in family activities together. Sometimes they will go to the market to buy vegetables together, select fresh ingredients, and prepare a sumptuous dinner.
In the market, little Yueyue was full of curiosity about various vegetables and fruits, and kept asking about this and that.
Dad Chen will patiently introduce different dishes to her and tell her which fresh ingredients are in season.
After returning home, Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying would be busy in the kitchen with Chen's mother, preparing meals.
After playing in Hangzhou for so many days, seeing that the day of departure was coming soon, Chen Ma was a little confused.
Her eyes wandered over Chen Shiying and Zhou Ziwen from time to time.
After such a long period of contact, she also vaguely discovered that there was something wrong with the relationship between her eldest daughter and Zhou Ziwen.
Although they concealed it very well, due to a woman's sixth sense, Chen Ma still noticed something strange.
She decided to find an opportunity to chat with Chen Shiying alone to find out what was going on.
After dinner, while Zhou Ziwen was taking little Yueyue to play in the yard, Mother Chen pulled Chen Shiying aside and asked softly:
"Shiying, Mom wants to ask you something. Is there something you are hiding from Mom between you and Ziwen?"
Chen Shiying's face suddenly turned red, and she said nervously: "Mom, what are you talking about? Brother Ziwen and I have nothing to do."
Chen's mother looked into her eyes and said seriously: "Shiying, you are my mother's daughter. Can my mother not know what you are thinking? Just tell her the truth. What is going on between you and Ziwen?"
Chen Shiying hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly: "Mom, actually, Brother Ziwen and I... we really love each other. But we also know that this situation is a bit complicated, so we never dared to tell you."
After hearing this, Ma Chen frowned slightly and said, "Shiying, do you know what this means? You and Qiaoyi are biological sisters. How will such a relationship be viewed by others? Moreover, what will this mean for you and Qiaoyi?" Yi’s feelings will also be affected.”
Chen Shiying said anxiously: "Mom, I know what you are worried about. But Qiaoyi and I have already spoken, and she understands me and supports me and Ziwen being together. We don't want to hurt each other, and we will handle this matter well. .”
"Hey, you kids, why are you so uneasy?" Mother Chen was so angry that she slapped her thigh. (End of chapter)
