Liu Yan asked Yin Qingbai to carry a pound of dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage to Shen Tao's house in the evening.

Shen Tao kept his mouth shut, so no one said anything about it, and his parents didn't know about it either. They just thought it was Shen Tao's kindness in rescuing Yin Qingbai.

The two of them tacitly understood that this matter was a secret between brothers.

"Hey, Brother Bo, why are you being so polite to me?" Shen Tao said, "You're welcome." He took the dumplings, pinched one and threw it into his mouth, chewing it. "Aunt Yan's skills are better than my mother's. Much stronger."

Shen Tao's mother was on the side, and Yin Qingbai shook his head in his heart.

Shen Tao's mother still has a good temper.

If he dares to say that in front of his mother, he will definitely be beaten.

"My aunt is not good at cooking, yet you are so fat." Yin Qingbai patted Shen Tao's plump arm. It is not easy to maintain such a fat body these days.

Shen Tao smiled twice, and Yin Qingbai didn't stay long: "I'm back."

"Stay and eat, Qingbai, we have enough food at home!" Shen Tao's mother persuaded him.

"My mother is still waiting for me to come home to eat. Thank you, aunt."

Yin Qingbai responded and left.

Shen Tao's mother looked at Yin Qingbai's back and sighed to his father: "If our Tao son is as good at talking as Qingbai, he will definitely be able to find a good partner."

"You can pull him down. If he can find a partner, even if he is worthy of his ancestors, he can still find a good partner."

Shen Tao's father hummed twice.

Shen Tao was just spoiled by his mother and was out of tune all day long.

"Dad, if I can't find a partner, is it because I can't speak?" Shen Tao pointed at his face, "If you had the appearance of Uncle Guofu, I wouldn't look like this. My mother isn't ugly either! "

"Your skin is itchy, aren't you!" Shen Tao's father raised his feet and was about to take off his shoes to hit someone. His mother said, "Come over quickly and eat dumplings! Why are you making such a fuss at night?"

Most dumplings are only available during the Mid-Autumn Festival and can be eaten twice during the Chinese New Year. The ones Liu Yan made were thin-skinned pork dumplings with large fillings and generous oil and meat. They smelled delicious.

The dumplings were cooked in two large pots, but in the end there was not a single one left.

"It's true, you two. I made this dumpling for Xiao Tao, but I ended up giving you two teeth as a sacrifice." Liu Yan said this, and she was happy to see Yin Qingbai eating a lot.

As soon as I finished eating the dumplings, the door opened.

Yin Hongfeng stood at the door darkly: "Father, mother, I'm back!"

Liu Yan: “…..”

You kid really doesn't know how to take chances.

Everyone understood and no one mentioned eating dumplings.

"How did you come back? Have you eaten at school?"

Liu Yan asked.

"No, I came back as soon as school was over and walked back with people from our village."

There are more than a dozen children in Yinjiazhuang going to school in the town this year, and the oldest one is twelve, which is quite safe.

"Whatever you want to eat, mother will cook it for you." Liu Yan said and got off the kang.

"Mom, I want to eat dumplings, okay?"

No matter which pot was not opened or picked up, the whole family was silent.

Yin Hongfeng just made an impossible wish, but who knew his mother actually said: "It's too late to wrap it up now, I'll wait until you get home to eat it next time."

"Really?!" Yin Hongfeng didn't expect that his mother would be so kind to him after being away from home for just a few days.

Even the dumplings are made.

Yin Hongfeng was extremely happy: "Then I can eat whatever I want tonight. I will eat whatever mother does!"

"You're so sensible." Liu Yan touched Yin Hongfeng's head.

She baked two pancakes with batter and gave them to Yin Hongfeng. She just held the chive pancake in her hand and ate it.

When Yin Hongfeng saw that his mother had made white flour pancakes for him, she was deeply moved, but also felt even more guilty.

Thinking of what happened at school, Yin Hongfeng squeezed the cake in her hand.

"Mom, I..." Yin Hongfeng was about to speak, but was interrupted by someone looking for Yin Guofu outside.

"Uncle Guofu?! Uncle Guofu, are you there?"

"Who is it?" Yin Guofu went out and saw a car parked in front of his house, with the driver still sitting inside.

The man standing at the door looked familiar to him, but he couldn't remember who it was.

"Who are you?"

"Uncle Fu, it's me!"

Zhou Wentang was wearing a straight Mao suit and was much more energetic than when he jumped in line.

However, his appearance is covered with ridges and spots due to hard work day and night over the past few years. He is less than thirty this year and his hair has already grown white.

Yin Guofu looked at it for a long time, then Zhou Wentang said: "I am Wentang! Don't you remember me? You really haven't changed at all."

Yin Guofu was stunned: "Is that you? Where have you been these years?!"

Seeing Zhou Wentang again, Yin Guofu's first reaction was emotion, and his second reaction was to be extremely angry.

Zhou Wentang looked troubled: "Uncle Guofu, let's go in and talk."

Yin Guofu made way for him: "Won't your driver come in together?"

"He left after a while and didn't want to be with me."

Zhou Wentang came by train, and the car and people were all equipped for him by the city.

"Oh." Yin Guofu closed the door.

Tao Wan was not surprised at all when he saw Zhou Wentang.

Counting time, the thing Zhou Wentang was researching should indeed be successful, and it was time for him to come back to find his wife and children.

Yin Qingbai was not deeply impressed by Zhou Wentang and had no reaction.

But Liu Yan was shocked: "Are you Wentang? Why are you like this?" Zhou Wentang's old age can now be compared with that of Yin Guofu.

Tao Wan couldn't help but sigh, this is the difference between mental work and physical work.

He has been conducting research in isolation for so many years, and he has been exposed to some harmful reagents, which will inevitably have an impact on the body.

"Auntie, you haven't changed much. You're just the same as you were five years ago." Zhou Wentang looked at Yin Qingbai, "Is this Qingbai? You're much stronger."

After being away for five years, Zhou Wentang felt that things were different and people were different.

He was also surprised just now. When he returned to this village again, he could still find Yin Guofu's home.

"Have you gone to see Changjuan?" Liu Yan didn't tell him falsely.

Mentioning Li Changjuan, Zhou Wentang's expression became nervous involuntarily: "Not yet. I...I know I'm sorry for Changjuan. Is she okay now?"

Zhou Wentang did not go to Li's house, but he felt a sense of cowardice in his hometown.

He has been gone for so many years, is it possible that Li Changjuan is still waiting for him?

Zhou Wentang didn't know that he didn't have the courage to face the Li family directly, so he came to Yin Guofu first.

"Don't you know if it's okay or not? How can a girl who hasn't gone out be better off raising a child by herself!"

Liu Yan became a little angry when she saw how useless Zhou Wentang was.

Yin Guofu gently pushed Liu Yan, and it was good that Zhou Wentang could come back to find someone.

"What child?" Zhou Wentang obviously didn't know, "Changjuan is pregnant with my child?"

"You didn't know this happened?" Everyone was surprised. "She couldn't keep it secret back then. The Li family asked for your family's address at the brigade and sent a letter!"

Zhou Wentang shook his head: "Aunt, I really don't know about this. My mother may not have received the letter..."

Zhou Wentang wiped his face, his expression was very complicated, bitter and happy, hesitant and impulsive.
