After the kidnapping incident, Yingzi and Dong Zhijun's relationship became even higher. This ordeal also made them understand the true meaning of marriage. Yingzi still taught at Xikai Primary School. After his mother passed away, Dong Zhijun also settled his home near Xikai Primary School. However, he no longer works as a police officer. After quitting his job, he opened a tea shop and was in the antique street, organizing some artists to perform storytelling and crosstalk every day. Although the business is not very popular, it is enough to make a living.

If their biggest regret is that they have not given birth to a child or a daughter, but Dong Zhijun is quite open about this and often advises Yingzi that there are so many students in the school, each of them is their children. If it really doesn't work, they can adopt one.

Although Dong Zhijun is the owner of a tea shop, he rarely comes at night, especially recently, Lao Hongtou is not in good health. He buys vegetables early and goes home to cook. First, he can help Yingzi share housework, and second, it is more convenient for him to take care of the old man.

Dong Zhijun rode his bicycle to his door. When he saw a car parked in front of the door, he was stunned. He asked his neighbors just now that he knew that the family of three had just arrived. Seeing that the door was locked, he went around.

When Dong Zhijun was worried, he saw a family of three walking towards this place in the distance. The little girl was holding one of her parents' hands in the middle, giggling while walking.

Dong Zhijun recognized Luo Lie and excitedly greeted him: "You, beagle, you finally know you're back!"

Ye Qinghong and Xiao Caihong didn't know that Luo Lie actually had the title of beagle, so both of them couldn't help laughing. Xiao Caihong said, "Dad, is the beagle you?"

Only then did Dong Zhijun realize that Luo Lie actually had a daughter. Looking at this Shuiling girl, she liked and envied her heart.

Luo Lie said to Xiao Caihong: "Little Caihong, call me uncle!"

"Uncle!"

Dong Zhijun agreed excitedly. He wanted to hug the child, but he felt that he was holding the food in his hand and smiled and said, "Hurry, sit in the house, Yingzi will be back soon."

While talking, Yingzi walked over from elementary school. Yingzi stopped far away, then ran over quickly, and said in surprise: "Beagle, you miss me so much!" She was careless, so she didn't care who was present. She rushed up and gave Luo Lie a warm hug. Then she noticed Ye Qinghong and said to Luo Lie: "Your wife?"

Luo Lie nodded, and Ye Qinghong said, "Sister Yingzi, my name is Ye Qinghong."

Yingzi looked at Ye Qinghong's hand that came out, and did not shake hands with her. She also opened her arms and gave Ye Qinghong a warm hug: "My brother's vision is amazing, my brother's wife is so beautiful." Let Ye Qinghong go, bowed down to look at Xiao Caihong and said, "What's your name like such a beautiful little girl?"

Xiao Caihong didn't recognize her, and said in a soft voice: "My name is Xiao Caihong!"

"Do you know who I am?"

"You are...Aunt Yingzi!"

Yingzi excitedly picked up the little Rainbow: "Baby, my dear baby, I am your aunt."

Dong Zhijun smiled and said, "Yingzi, don't scare the child."

Yingzi said, "I can't even feel pain. Let's go into the house. The old man knows you are here, and I don't know how happy it should be."

When Luo Lie saw Lao Hongtou, he was not happy. After four years, the old man was gray-haired and skinny. His former tall and burly body has now become dry and thin. People will grow old. Some things cannot be kept by human resources.

Lao Hongtou has suffered a stroke for a year. Although he recognizes Luo Lie, he can't speak. He holds Luo Lie's hand and keeps crying.

Luo Lie said: "Grandpa Hong, I'm here to see you. This time, I'm here with my wife and children."

Lao Hongtou looked at the corners of his mouth trembled, but shed tears.

Luo Lie asked Ye Qinghong and Xiao Caihong to get closer so that the old man could see clearly.

Xiao Caihong stretched out her little hand and said, "Grandpa, why are you crying? Don't cry, don't cry, I'll wipe it for you."

Everyone felt sad when they saw that the child was so sensible.

Yingzi said, "This old man cries even if he is unhappy, and even if he is happy, he might as well sit up and cry. I'll go cook." She turned around and went out, and as soon as she went out, she secretly wiped away the tears with the corner of her clothes.

Ye Qinghong followed him out and happened to see Yingzi wiping tears. Yingzi smiled embarrassedly: "Qinghong, don't laugh. I am a person who has no knowledge and always likes to cry."

Ye Qinghong said: "Sister Yingzi, don't say that, they are all family. Let's go, I'll help you cook."

When the two entered the kitchen, Ye Qinghong was stunned when she saw the earth stove. She didn't know how to use it.

Yingzi asked Ye Qinghong to help peel garlic and pick vegetables. She took care of cooking. Yingzi said, "Qinghong, when did you two get married? The children are so old."

Ye Qinghong smiled and she continued to pick vegetables.

Yingzi said: "In the past four years, I don't know where Luo Lie has gone. He suffered a lot for the sake of my grandfather and me."

Ye Qinghong said: "Luo Lie often says that he has implicated you."

Yingzi said, "Don't say that, it's all a family, who will implicate whom? To be honest, I'm quite angry. Even if I'm afraid of implicating us, I can't have a letter for so long. The old man kept muttering him day and night, saying that he might never see him again in his lifetime. When he mentioned this, he scolded me."

Ye Qinghong said: "Sister Yingzi, when did Grandpa Hong get into the wind?"

Yingzi said: "It's been one year. I'm so old, I've tasted all the sufferings, ups and downs of the world. We've also thought about it. No one can stop birth, old age, sickness and death. I heard from the doctor that it's just the past two months. Fortunately, Luo Lie is back and I'm satisfied with seeing him for the last time."

The little rainbow jumped and walked in from outside, holding a bunch of candied haws in her hand.

Ye Qinghong said: "Where do you get the candied haws?"

Xiao Caihong said, "I gave it to you by my uncle."

Yingzi said: "Qinghong, take your child out for fun, it's so big that it's smokey inside, don't smoke it."

Ye Qinghong responded and took Xiao Caihong out.

After Lao Hongtou fell asleep, Luo Lie also came to the kitchen and called out to Sister.

Yingzi said: "Do you still remember me as my sister?"

"Remember!"

Yingzi said while cooking: "Remember to not tell me when I get married. By the way, when did you and Qinghong get married?"

Luo Lie said: "Sister, we are not married."

Yingzi said: "I haven't gotten married, haha, I've been a foreigner, I've had a baby before I got married." She couldn't accept it and couldn't help but shake her head.

Luo Lie said: "Actually, Xiao Caihong is the daughter of Lan Ximei and me."

Yingzi was stunned for a moment and turned to Luo Lie. Only then did she understand what was going on. Looking at Luo Lie's vicissitudes of gaze, her heart was filled with pity. What has her brother experienced in the past few years? She whispered: "Pick the dishes out, by the way, the old man left you that jar of wine and dig it out under the tree. Your wife and daughter are all here, and you can drink it."

At Luo Lie's insistence, he personally fed Grandpa Hong's supper. Looking at the old man's chewing hard, Luo Lie's eyes were wet, and people would grow old one day, and perhaps he would have to accept such reality in the future.

Ye Qinghong looked at Luo Lie quietly. She lacked family care since she was a child. Here, she suddenly felt a feeling of going home. Only then did she understand why Luo Lie rescued the Hong family's grandson at all costs, and also why Luo Lie insisted on not contacting them for four years.

The jar of wine that the old man treasured was used to celebrate Luo Lie’s marriage. Luo Lie poured a cup and also poured a cup for Ye Qinghong. He whispered: “This is where I lived in my childhood. In my heart, this is my home.”

Yingzi said: "This place will always be your home. You are tired of working hard outside. As long as you know you come back, my sister will prepare food for you and wait for you."

Luo Lie nodded.

Ye Qinghong fed Xiao Caihong, and Xiao Caihong said while eating: "The food my aunt cooks is delicious, it's really delicious!"

Yingzi smiled and said, "This kid is so well-behaved, I really like it."

Dong Zhijun said: "I like it too. You must stay for a few more days this time."

Luo Lie said: "Okay, I don't have much to do anyway. I just happened to be having fun in Tianjin for a few more days."

Dong Zhijun and Luo Lie haven't seen each other for so long, so they naturally have to drink happily. Yingzi accompanied Ye Qinghong to coax Xiao Caihong to sleep.

Yingzi felt relieved when she saw Ye Qinghong and Xiao Caihong's relationship so close. She remembered that Xiao Caihong had lost her mother at such a young age. She couldn't help but feel sorry for the child's life experience. Fortunately, she met a stepmother who loved her so much. Seeing this child's appearance, she must have forgotten her biological mother. This is not a bad thing for Xiao Caihong.

After Xiao Caihong fell asleep, the two of them came outside and saw Luo Lie and Dong Zhijun still drinking. Dong Zhijun's tongue was getting bigger. Yingzi said, "Beagle, don't let him drink it, as if he drinks too much, he will torment me."

Dong Zhijun was obviously drunk: "I... why did I toss you... the couple... that's your affection, not a toss..."

Yingzi blushed when she heard this, and pulled Dong Zhijun's ear and pulled him into the house.

Luo Lie looked at Ye Qinghong and smiled. Ye Qinghong saw malicious intentions in his smile and lowered his long black eyelashes: "You grew up here?"

Luo Liedao: "Didn't you say it?"

Ye Qinghong said: "How long are you planning to live?"

Luo Lie said: "Aren't you used to this place?"

Ye Qinghong shook her head and said, "No, you know, I have been without fathers and mothers since I was a child. In fact, I really long for the warmth of my family. Sister Yingzi and her family are very good. Why did you bring me acquaintance?"

Luo Lie smiled and said, "Even an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her parents-in-law. If you don't agree to my proposal, how dare I bring you here."

Ye Qinghong said: "Do you think I'm ugly?"

Luo Lie said: "If you are ugly, will there be beautiful people in this world?"

"Just count your sweet mouth." Ye Qinghong held Luo Lie's hand.

Yingzi finally coaxed Dong Zhijun to sleep. When he came out to clean up, he happened to see the two of them sucking and said with a smile: "Oh, hey, haven't you bothered you?"

Luo Lie smiled and said, "No."
