Shuiyun County.

Ling Yanjiang joined the Chu’s Trade delivery team, and after earning some money, he bought a small courtyard in the county town and settled down.

Today is Ling Yanjiang’s day off; he did not go to Chu Village.

Ge Lihua came to the small courtyard and knocked on the door, “Big Senior Brother, are you there?”

Ling Yanjiang, preparing to go out for a meal, hurriedly came to open the door upon hearing Ge Lihua’s voice, “What a rare visitor! I’ve lived here for a few months, and junior sister has never visited.”

Ge Lihua suddenly felt she had somewhat neglected this senior brother, “Senior Brother is busy with deliveries every day; I wouldn’t be able to see you even if I came.”

Ling Yanjiang teased, “It’s not because I’m busy; your heart has been completely given to Chu Xujin, hasn’t it?”

Ge Lihua slightly bowed her head, thinking of Chu Xujin, her heart filled with a sweet sensation, “Senior Brother, stop making fun of me.”

Seeing Ge Lihua feeling shy, Ling Yanjiang changed the subject, “Alright, alright, we won’t talk about that. Nothing comes without a reason; what brings junior sister here to find me?”

Ge Lihua handed a wedding invitation to Ling Yanjiang, “I invite Senior Brother to attend my wedding tomorrow. I should have given Senior Brother the wedding invitation earlier, but you’ve been on long-distance trips and I had no opportunity.”

Ling Yanjiang smiled, “A daughter of our house has grown up; Senior Brother congratulates you. But, without any close kin here, from where will you be married off?”

Ge Lihua explained, “In the village, I’ve recognized a mother as my family, and I will be married off from her home. It has been arranged.”

Ling Yanjiang regretfully said, “If I had known earlier, I should have suggested you be married off from my place; it would be more proper for your Senior Brother to act as the parent.”

Ge Lihua responded, “Even if I am not married off from Senior Brother’s place, you are still my family.”

“I was being narrow-minded,” Ling Yanjiang said with a bitter smile. After so many years of separation, it seems the close bond from before is no longer there.

“Senior Brother, it’s getting late; I’ll head back now.”

“Alright, take care.”

Ling Yanjiang sent Ge Lihua out, watching her leave with a look full of fondness.

…

Chu Village.

In the old house, pieces of bacon and sauce meat were tied with ropes and hung in the backyard, quickly creating a forest of meat.

The smoked bacon just hung up looked dark brown and not very appealing. It needs to be aired to improve the color.

Chu Qingzhi brought some pine trees over, lit them, and smoked the bacon below. This could enhance the flavor and also use the heat to dry the bacon. Chu Xujin is having a wedding feast tomorrow, adding a few dishes.

Chu Qingzhi and several sisters helped around, looking forward to the bacon.

Suddenly, Li Qingyu ran over in a hurry, excited and surprised, “Fourth sister, fifth sister, sixth sister, come quickly, guess who’s here?”

The sisters exchanged glances. Who could make their mother react like this?

Curious, they followed Li Qingyu home.

A large and luxurious carriage was parked at the home entrance; excited voices of Grandma Chu could be heard from inside.

Who has come?

As they wondered, Chu Qingyue walked out from the house, her face slightly plumper and full of smiles, “Fourth sister, fifth sister, sixth sister…”

Chu Qingfrost excitedly shouted, “Second sister, second sister is back!!” She ran towards Chu Qingyue, and the sisters hugged tightly.

Chu Qingzhi and Chu Qingzhi smiled and hurried over, “Second sister.”

Chu Qingyue hugged Chu Qingzhi and Chu Qingzhi together, “I’ve missed you so much!”

“We missed you too.” Chu Qingfrost was so excited, “Second sister, how come you’re back? Why didn’t you tell us, so we could have picked you up?”

Ning Yuting came over, “Your second sister is pregnant, she specially came back to share the joy with you, just in time to attend Xujin’s wedding.”

“Ah, second sister is pregnant!” Chu Qingfrost screamed again, “Second sister, congratulations!”

Chu Qingzhi and Chu Qingzhi hurriedly congratulated her, not expecting to hear such good news so soon.

These words were precisely overheard by Shen Ruyue, who rushed over, her heart suddenly anxious. Qingyue had children after getting married, but she had not yet despite marrying earlier.

Chu Qingyue quickly hugged Shen Ruyue, her face full of smiles, “Big sister-in-law.”

Shen Ruyue hid her slight sourness, smiled, and said, “Qingyue.”

Li Qingyu was extremely worried, “Qingyue, come and sit, the journey has been hard on you, be careful.”

As Shen Ruyue’s bedmate, Chu Xujiang saw through the loss in Shen Ruyue’s eyes. He held her hand, comforting, “It’s okay; our children are just a bit late.”

Comforted, Shen Ruyue felt much better, “I’ll go to Qingzhi later to have my pulse checked to see if there’s any issue.”

Chu Xujiang gently said, “Surely there’s no problem; don’t worry.”

Shen Ruyue smiled slightly, “Mhm.”

Chu Qingyue’s return made the house lively. After a long chat in the hall, everyone was delighted.

Li Qingyu was extremely cautious, “Fourth sister, fifth sister, check on second sister’s health.”

Both nodded, each taking one side to take Chu Qingyue’s pulse.

Their eyebrows gradually knitted together, and seeing their reaction, everyone held their breath, lightening their own breathing.

Ning Yuting asked anxiously, “What’s wrong?”

Chu Qingzhi infused a few strands of spiritual energy into Chu Qingyue’s body, “No major issues, but second sister can’t be on the move anymore, or there might be problems.”

Everyone understood; Chu Qingyue’s fatigue from traveling from the south had affected her pregnancy.

Li Qingyu said, “Fourth sister, fifth sister, prepare a prescription for second sister to stabilize the pregnancy. We can’t let anything happen.”

Chu Qingzhi responded, “Mother, we know. With me and fifth sister here, how could anything happen to second sister?”

Ning Yuting said, “Qingyue, we’ll stay at your mother’s home for the New Year. I’ll write a letter to grandfather later. I believe grandfather can understand.”

Chu Qingyue was very happy, but as a newlywed, it was unusual for her and her husband to spend New Year at her mother’s house, not as a son-in-law, “Would that be inappropriate?”

“You and the child are what’s important now.” Ning Yuting patted Chu Qingyue’s hand and went to write the letter.

They came directly from the south, thinking of reporting the good news and then attending Chu Xujin’s wedding before returning home. Now, since Qingyue’s health makes travel unsuitable, they will temporarily stay, which also aligns with Qingyue’s longing for home.

Touched, Chu Qingyue watched Ning Yuting’s departing back. A few months into their marriage, Yuting has always been protective and caring, truly fulfilling his pre-marital promises.

Li Qingyu held Chu Qingyue’s hand, “You’re going to be a mother; you need to be more cautious from now on, understand?”

Chu Qingyue nodded, “Mother, I understand.”

Li Qingyu helped Chu Qingyue upstairs to rest.

Seeing this, Shen Ruyue’s heart couldn’t help but feel a little sour again. Her hand touched her stomach, “Child, why haven’t you come yet?”

Noticing this, Chu Qingzhi said to Shen Ruyue, “Come here, let me check your pulse.”

Shen Ruyue gave a bitter smile and stretched out her hand.

Chu Qingzhi comforted from the side, “Getting pregnant requires timing, sister-in-law needn’t be anxious.”
