Even before entering the village, the tantalizing aroma of cooking at wafted through the air, sending their senses into overdrive.

“Mmm, that slls delicious!” Chenchen poked his head out of the carriage window. “Whose beef stew is that?”

“You little glutton,” Zhou Ying playfully swatted his head. “You haven’t even finished the beef you had earlier.”

“But this one slls even better!”

“If you’re hungry again, we’ll cook sothing tonight. Now sit back down properly.”

“Mommy, I want lobster!” Guoguo suddenly chid in.

“Eat!” Third Fatty raised his hand excitedly.

His big, round eyes fixated on Gu Chengrui, a trail of drool escaping the corner of his tiny mouth. He looked utterly adorable and undeniably eager.

“Alright, alright,” Gu Chengrui chuckled, wrapping his cloak tighter around him. “Tell , what would you like to eat?”

“Leg, big leg,” Third Fatty declared.

“Chicken drumstick, you an?”

“Chicken drumstick!” Third Fatty confird with a vigorous nod.

“You three certainly know how to order! Three dishes in one go? Are you trying to wear out?” Zhou Ying interjected, fatigue catching up with her after days of travel. Cooking was the last thing she craved.

“Here’s a compromise,” Gu Chengrui suggested. “We’ll hold off on the lobster for Guoguo and enjoy it tomorrow afternoon. Tonight, we can have a simple al of fried steak and braised chicken drumsticks.”

Guoguo hesitated for a mont, stealing a disgruntled glance at her younger siblings before conceding, “Alright, but you definitely have to make it tomorrow afternoon.”

“Don’t worry, I promise,” Zhou Ying echoed, relieved.

Upon entering the village, they found it mostly deserted, save for a few children playing in the street. Naturally, the children didn’t recognize them. However, their curiosity piqued at the sight of the unfamiliar carriage, prompting them to follow it for a short distance before scattering.

Erging from the carriage, Guoguo surveyed their dilapidated mud house with disbelief. She turned to Gu Chengrui and blurted, “Dad, is this really our old house? It seems… a bit shabby.”

“It does, doesn’t it?” Gu Chengrui admitted. “I never bothered selling it since I didn’t see a need. But hey, at least there’s a brick bed inside, which makes it sowhat comfortable.”

With that, Gu Chengrui disembarked from the carriage, opened the door, and led the horse inside.

Seeing the open door, Zhou Ying ushered Guoguo and Chenchen into the house. Surprisingly, the interior wasn’t particularly cold, and it seed relatively clean. She knew Qiu Niang, their neighbor, had likely helped tidy it up.

Gu Chengrui briskly straightened up the place before heading to the kitchen. The stove was still warm, so he promptly opened it and tossed in so firewood, intending to get a fire going.

Next, he returned to the interspace to boil two pots of hot water. He grabbed a new basin and towel, and went back to the room to clean up the three children.

Refreshed, the children shed their coats and happily occupied themselves by playing on the brick bed. anwhile, the couple settled down at the square table, sipping tea.

As the room ward up, Gu Chengrui let out a sudden cough. Zhou Ying imdiately asked with concern, “Do you want so dicine?”

“No need; just so water will do,” he replied through his coughs. “It looks like returning to the capital needs to be prioritized.”

“Agreed. Let’s get a large seafaring ship by the end of the year.”

Just then, a voice bood from outside, “Chengrui, Chengrui, are you back?”

“Ah, Brother Chengen.” Gu Chengrui was montarily stunned before replying.

He quickly stood up and headed outside. There, he found both Gu Chengen and Qian Jiaxi.

“You really are back! And so discreetly too,” Gu Chengen chuckled. “Coming back to the village without so much as a whisper.”

“There’s no point in grand pronouncents,” Gu Chengrui replied. “Let’s head inside and chat.”

Zhou Ying rose to greet them. “Brother Chengen, Uncle Jiaxi. Please, co in and have a seat.”

She then retrieved two clean cups and prepared tea for each of them.
