Protagonist:

Lin Hao

Upon entering the Zhou Family's door, he saw Zhou Mother sitting on a chair inside the house, holding needle and thread, seemingly mending something.

Hearing movement at the doorway, she raised her head; when she saw her daughter Zhou Rong standing at the doorway, her originally somewhat cloudy eyes instantly widened, her face first showing an expression of disbelief, followed immediately by irrepressible joy.

"Zhou Rong... it's Zhou Rong returned!" Zhou Mother's voice trembled with excitement; she abruptly stood up, no longer caring about the needlework in her hands, and walked toward Zhou Rong with trembling steps.

Seeing her mother like this, Zhou Rong also felt a pang of heartache; her eye rims reddened, she quickly stepped forward and tightly embraced her mother, saying with a choked voice: "Mom, I'm back, how is your health?"

Zhou Mother held her daughter, tears flowing unstoppably, muttering: "Back is good, back is good."

The mother and daughter embraced, both crying and laughing, the scene deeply moving.

Fortunately Zhou Mother noticed Cai Xiaoguang and Lin Hao still standing to the side; only then did she realize there were guests present, so she hurriedly wiped her tears with her hand, struggled to control her emotions, and said with some apology: "Oh my, look at my useless self, only caring about being happy, forgot you two were still here. Quick, don't just stand there, sit down quickly, I'll go pour you some water."

Speaking, Zhou Mother ushered Cai Xiaoguang and Lin Hao to sit on the chairs in the room, then turned and brought out several cups of steaming hot water, handing them to the three respectively, her face bearing a kindly smile as she said: "Drink some hot water, warm yourselves up, the journey was tiring, right?"

Cai Xiaoguang took the cup, smiling: "Thank you, Auntie, not tiring."

Lin Hao also followed: "Right, Auntie, don't busy yourself, we just got back, you sit and rest a bit too."

Zhou Mother smiled and nodded, only then sitting on the chair to the side, yet her gaze always rested gently on her daughter Zhou Rong, as if she could never look enough.

Before long, footsteps and laughter came from outside the courtyard; it turned out Lin Kun and Zhou Bingkun had returned together from work.

These two young men, neither had a bicycle yet, so every day they walked to and from work together, and along the way they could chat and pass the time.

Lin Hao and Zhou Rong heard the commotion and hurried out; the two, across the courtyard wall, saw Lin Hao and Zhou Rong, and instantly their eyes lit up, both faces showing surprised delight.

Lin Kun rushed into the courtyard in a few steps, shouting excitedly: "Little brother, you're finally back! And Zhou Rong, why didn't you two say something in advance? Bingkun and I would've gone to meet you." Speaking, he gave Lin Hao a big hug.

Zhou Bingkun also smiled and walked up, saying to Zhou Rong: "Sister, you're back, Mom must be overjoyed, right?"

Zhou Rong smiled and nodded: "Mm, Mom was overjoyed, Bingkun, you've worked hard these six months."

Everyone was lively exchanging greetings; Cai Xiaoguang on the side saw this and felt he shouldn't keep disturbing a family reunion, so he stood up, smiling: "That... Auntie, Lin Kun, Lin Hao, Zhou Rong, Bingkun, since you're all home, I should go back too, I'll leave first."

Speaking, Cai Xiaoguang prepared to fetch his luggage placed to the side.

But how could Zhou Bingkun and Lin Kun let him just leave like that; the two exchanged a glance, almost simultaneously reaching out, each grabbing one of Cai Xiaoguang's arms, forcibly keeping him there.

Lin Kun smiled: "Xiaoguang, what are you saying, it's already mealtime, how can you leave? Today you must stay for dinner before going, consider it a welcome feast for my little brother and Zhou Rong, you can't refuse us this face, right? Them being able to return, you definitely helped, didn't you? Otherwise how could it be such a coincidence that you're also here?"

Zhou Bingkun also chimed in: "Right, Brother Xiaoguang, just stay, us gathering together for a lively reunion dinner would be great, if you leave it won't be lively."

Seeing their warm insistence, Cai Xiaoguang was also quite touched, so he smiled and nodded: "Alright then, since you all put it that way, I'll be respectful rather than polite, stay and impose on everyone."

"Haha, that's right, Brother Xiaoguang, just sit easy, later taste my mom's cooking, those are all her specialty dishes." Zhou Bingkun smiled.

Lin Kun and Zhou Bingkun didn't say another word, turned and hurried out the door to buy vegetables.

Before long, the two returned fully loaded, carrying large and small bags of vegetables in their hands.

After returning Lin Kun hurriedly ran back to his own house; before long he came back holding several bottles of soy sauce, a small bag of MSG, and some other seasonings.

Zhou Mother was busy in the kitchen; seeing Lin Kun bring these things, she smiled: "Oh my, Kunzi, those soy sauce, MSG and such you brought before aren't finished yet, why bring so much again?"

Lin Kun placed the things on the kitchen stove, smiling in reply: "Auntie Zhou, this stuff doesn't spoil, eat it slowly. You know, our factory often distributes these things, leaving them there is just leaving them, bringing them over for everyone to use makes the dishes more flavorful."

Zhou Mother listened, smiled and nodded: "Still you're the thoughtful child, alright, then later cooking will use them all, let everyone taste the freshness."

Speaking, Zhou Mother began bustling in the kitchen again; Zhou Rong also came to the kitchen to help, while the other few chatted lively in the living room, sharing what had happened to each during this period.

Before long, bursts of food aroma wafted from the kitchen, permeating the whole house, making one unable to resist swallowing saliva.

Several people sat around the table, faces all beaming with happy smiles. Zhou Mother smiled: "Come, everyone don't be polite, today rare so many gathered together, eat more, consider it an early New Year."

"Haha, alright, Auntie Zhou, looks so appetizing, I'll eat more." Cai Xiaoguang smiled in reply.

Afterwards, everyone picked up their chopsticks, eating and chatting, laughter unceasing; this reunion dinner was eaten with such warmth and liveliness, as if all the fatigue of the journey had been completely dispelled.
