After chatting for a while with the team leader, the car finally headed towards the old home.

Back home, they had already tidied up yesterday. After a phone call, Qian Ying and Sun Huiping had already cleaned up the living space.

Xu Mumu and the others came back. There were many people outside the yard watching the excitement.

"Mumu and I got married and haven’t held a wedding banquet here at our old home. We’re planning to have one in a few days. Everyone is welcome to join and support us." Taking advantage of the crowd, Yin Yang directly announced the wedding banquet.

"We’ll definitely come when the time comes." Many people said with smiling faces. Since they could afford small cars, they were surely not short of money and wondered how much good food there would be.

In the yard, the Granduncle came with his great-grandson to sit down, chatting with Yin Yang with amusement.

The great-grandson in Granduncle’s family, named Xu Yu, was born in the latter half of last year. The little guy was fair and tender, with big beautiful eyes, though it wasn’t clear whom he resembled—probably the mother of the child.

When her eldest cousin got married, she didn’t come back but did send money and some goods home.

"Granduncle, is Big Cousin still at work?" Xu Mumu asked with a smile. The eldest cousin was a teacher at a primary school in the county town and was living quite well.

"Yes, he has set up a tutoring class on this side, and he’s doing a part-time job there, saying it allows him to earn some extra money." Granduncle said with a smile, feeling happy that his grandson was so ambitious.

"What about Cousin’s wife? I haven’t had the chance to meet her yet." Xu Mumu was curious about her cousin’s wife. Though they didn’t have much interaction with Granduncle’s family, they were still relatives, and Granduncle was the elder brother of her grandfather, always there to lend a helping hand when needed.

"She lives in the county town with your cousin, and she has her work to be busy with too." Granduncle smiled as he said this, feeling that young people should be busy making money for a better life. Although they were getting older and couldn’t help much, they could still take care of the great-grandson.

"That sounds good to me." Xu Mumu nodded.

Several children in the family are now much healthier, especially Kangkang, who has improved a lot physically and can run and jump by himself now, much better than when he was just born.

The little guy probably doesn’t remember his elder sister anymore, but he knows the younger brother from Granduncle’s family and often sees them as they live nearby.

The room at home was cleaned very neatly, with the beds being spotless as well, which made Xu Mumu extremely satisfied.

"Big Sister, why have you only just returned? I’ve been looking forward to your return since the holidays began." Xu Jiaojiao stayed by Xu Mumu’s side, feeling so happy that her elder sister had returned.

"Your brother-in-law had some work in the Imperial City, so I waited for him to finish before coming back together." Xu Mumu said with a smile, patting Xu Jiaojiao on the head. The little girl had grown quite a bit.

The matters concerning Xu Mumu and the others were beyond her understanding, so she didn’t ask much more.

With Xu Mumu and the others coming back, the old home was bustling with activity, and the house was thoroughly cleaned by the two daughters-in-law, ready for them to move in. Madam Chen was very satisfied with it, feeling it was great for her two sons to stay back home as it made things conveniently manageable.

It was almost noon, and Qian Ying and the others started getting busy in the kitchen. Over the past few years, life at home had improved significantly, with no more shortages of food.

Moreover, living against the backdrop of the mountains, the Xu Jiang brothers would occasionally venture into them, even setting up a trap there, leading to some unexpected gains from time to time, which made life pretty pleasurable at home.

Xu Mumu looked around the old home, noting that the house on the second side had been remodeled, with putty applied to the walls, unlike the loess walls of other rooms plastered with old newspapers, making it appear brighter.

Meanwhile, the fourth side had only had the roof renewed with straw, not showing much change.

Their house remained the same as before, and with the help of the second and fourth uncles in tidying up, there had been no damage to the house.

The house at home was still as it used to be, which made Xu Mumu feel very relaxed.

Xu Minglei had already gone to the empty room to look at the rabbits. They had already raised rabbits in two rooms, and the rooms were kept very clean, with the rabbits growing well.

Xu Jiaojiao proudly told Xu Minglei about these rabbits, as they mostly collected grass to feed them. They had made quite a bit of money from the rabbits.

Xu Minglei was very envious, living in the provincial city where raising rabbits was not allowed.

The money he had amounted to the red envelope money he got during the New Year and some award money, which, although seemingly substantial, wasn’t much compared to what Xu Jiaojiao and the others made.

Tiedan also came over, and Xu Mumu almost didn’t recognize him at first. The boy had grown sturdier, having helped with chores around the house and played everywhere, getting tanned but looking more energetic.

"Not bad, not bad, you look fitter." Xu Mumu patted Tiedan’s shoulder.

"Sis, you haven’t returned in so long, and I couldn’t even go to the Imperial City for your wedding." Tiedan looked at Xu Mumu with a bit of grievance, as he wanted to go to the Imperial City with Xu Jiaojiao and the others. However, his parents felt that it was inconvenient to trouble Xu Mumu and didn’t let him go.

Since he couldn’t go to the Imperial City, he bought a wedding gift for Xu Mumu—a flower he thought was the most beautiful one.

"But now I’m back. How did you find the study materials I sent you?" Xu Mumu asked with a smile.

"Very useful, and our teacher even borrowed my materials for a look." Xu Jiaojiao proudly puffed up her chest.

"Big Sis, there are many sections I don’t understand." Xu Tao looked at his older sister with expectation.

"I’ll be home during this time, so feel free to ask me or your brother-in-law if you have questions." Xu Mumu said with a smile while looking at the children in satisfaction, as they were all brought up by her guidance.

"Is Brother-in-law as good as Big Sis?" Xu Tao’s eyes widened.

"Of course he’s good. My brother-in-law is just a notch below Sis; a few days ago, he even explained high school lessons to me, and I understood them right away." Xu Minglei couldn’t help showing off, firmly convinced that his sister was the best, with the brother-in-law just slightly lesser.

Yin Yang couldn’t help but look skyward speechlessly, and then back at his wife, who was secretly laughing.

"Your brother-in-law is amazing. He even graduated from university ahead of schedule and earns lots of money every day," Xu Mumu said, poking Xu Minglei’s forehead playfully.

"How much is a lot?" Xu Minglei asked, curious as he genuinely didn’t know.

"More than all our family’s money," Xu Mumu covered her mouth and chuckled, not daring to give specifics, fearing it might scare them.

"Wow, Brother-in-law is so awesome. Brother-in-law, how do you do it? Teach me. I also want to earn lots of money." Xu Jiaojiao looked at Yin Yang with a face full of admiration; someone who could earn lots of money had to be super talented.
