Chapter 1539: Return

Cheng Lin felt he was overwhelmed. "Wow, this is what the top university should look like, just looking at it feels solemn."

The others also shared the same feeling.

"Brother Yang, can we even finish touring Capital University in one day?" Hongling said helplessly.

"I really envy you four studying here. If I had been more confident, I would have applied here too," Cheng Lin said smacking his lips.

"Why don’t we explore more next time? Maybe just get to know the school entrance first. We also need to visit the university you’re headed to."

No one had any objections. Chaoyang held Jing Chu’s hand. The couple being at the same university was something that would make him smile even in his dreams.

Just like that, they spent their entire day heading towards the university.

Cheng Lin was also very satisfied with the university he got into.

"Do you think we’re just country bumpkins? Is that why we feel everything is good?"

Red Army glared at Cheng Lin, "Everything is indeed good everywhere."

In the evening, instead of returning home for dinner, Han Xiangjun treated the group to a roast duck restaurant, where they consumed sixteen roast ducks.

"The capital is really great, there’s too much good food here," Hongling sighed.

Shi Xian laughed, "Brother Chenglin, you four come find me tomorrow, I’ll take you to eat all the good food in the capital."

"This time, should my dad be sponsoring us?"

Wei Kaiyun nodded with a smile, "No problem. I’ll sponsor."

Cheng Lin and Hongling were delighted, now they really agreed without hesitation.

As for the boys going out to play, Wei Kaiyun was at ease. Now Ah Bao and the other two insisted on joining in as well.

Eventually, all the boys joined in. Ruoyan also wanted to join, but Feifei insisted she start learning the guzheng tomorrow.

Which for Ruoyan was simply a nightmare. But she couldn’t bear to refuse Sister Feifei, so she had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

Yang Run Tai thought of going to the Wei Family tomorrow to watch the little girl learn to play the guzheng.

After dinner, they divided the duck racks, then each returned home.

Days were spent by the boys savoring foods in various streets and alleys of the capital.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the family set off together to the park to see lanterns, with Shang Zhenkun joining them this time.

There were enough people taking care of him, so Jiang Xinyu felt quite reassured. The children were certainly delighted, ready to try all kinds of snacks.

For Shi Xian, seeing lanterns was not the main goal, it was all about the food.

Brother Chenglin, Hongling, and the other two didn’t care how others saw them, they were just happily walking and eating delicious food.

Today, Yang Run Tai didn’t come, as every member of the Yang Family in the capital was expected to have dinner at the old residence.

Right now, Tao YanZhen could hold her head high in front of the three sisters-in-law. Although her husband wasn’t home, she had given birth to twins and also gotten into university, which was something to be proud of.

This time Tao Chun and his family of three were also at the Yang Family residence, as Yang Jiu Long had specifically arranged for someone to bring them over.

The Yang Family was quite lively. They even specially made salty glutinous rice balls favored by Southerners.

Yang Run Tai sat quietly smiling, listening to everyone chatting.

Tao YanZhen had a good relationship with Yang Run Tai’s family, so she didn’t really care about the teasing from the other two sisters-in-law.

The family hadn’t had dinner yet when the nanny brought in Yang Zhongyi.

This was his first time back since going to the frontier.

Yang Jiu Long knew his son would return, but he didn’t know the exact time.

Everyone in the living room stared at the disheveled Yang Zhongyi in shock.

Yang Zhongyi stood in his own living room, looking at his family, his wife, and the two children beside her. They were his own children. His son and daughter.

A man whose eyes never reddened on the battlefield shed tears this time.

Yang Jiu Long was also very emotional. He stood up and grabbed his son’s hand, "It’s good you came back, it’s good."

His mother Liu Hong was even more emotional, holding her son’s other hand, her eyes filled with tears.

Tao YanZhen felt a ripple in her heart watching her returning husband, she led the two children forward.

"Shihao, Si Jia, this is your dad, he’s back."

The two six-year-old children were sensible, they had seen Yang Zhongyi’s picture.

Yang Zhongyi saw two very similar-looking children looking at him with admiration.

Yang Zhongyi let go of his parents’ hands and bent down to meet the gaze of the two children.

"You’re called Brother Shihao and Si Jia, I’m your dad."

The two children called him dad in unison. This made Yang Zhongyi’s eyes red.

"Good, good, dad is very happy, really. I’m very happy to see you two."

Yang Zhongyi said as he hugged the two children, his unsettled heart suddenly calmed down.

The other three brothers came over too. But now was the moment for family reunion, so they all waited aside.

Yang Run Tai sat to the side watching this scene, realizing that his little uncle, who always furrowed his brows in the latter half of his life, had finally seen his destiny change.

Yang Zhongyi also knew the time wasn’t right yet, so he stood up but did not let go of the children’s hands.

Yang Jiu Long was genuinely happy. Although he always knew the situation of his youngest son, it hadn’t directly presented itself to him.

"Dad, mom, I’m back."

Liu Hong moved closer to her son’s side again, "Zhongyi, you’re back. From now on, don’t ever leave again." As she spoke, tears streamed down.

"Old Fourth, sit down."

At this point, the three brothers all approached. Yang Zhongyi didn’t sit down, but instead greeted his three elder brothers.

The three sisters-in-law also approached. Yang Zhongyi knew that his eldest brother and sister-in-law had sent nephews and nieces to accompany his wife, a kindness he deeply appreciated, so he truly felt close to his eldest brother’s family.

The children from the remaining three families came to greet him too. He had been away from his wife for six years, and hadn’t seen his second and third elder brother’s nephews for nine years, but he could still recognize them.

Yang Run Tai came over last, "Welcome back, uncle."

Yang Zhongyi nodded with a smile. He understood what kind of person the eldest nephew was. He could still recall the scene when the eldest nephew had persuaded him to get married.

Tao Chun and his family of three approached. Watching this brother-in-law, Yang Zhongyi felt a bit guilty. Although they were from the same kind of family, he had been away for six years, leaving his wife and children in his brother-in-law’s care.

"Thank you, big brother."

Tao Chunhe chuckled, "No need to thank me." He knew what Yang Zhongyi was thanking him for. That was his own sister, his nephew and niece. They were his family.

At that moment, the nanny came over. Dinner was ready.

The entire family was finally complete, everyone was there, Yang Jiu Long had a smile on his face. People tend to wish for a family full of children and grandchildren as they age, longing for their younger generations to accompany them often.
