Over at the Zhao Family Village Team’s side.
After the banquet, some relatives didn’t leave right away and stayed to chat.
When relatives started to leave, Wang Yuemei, the bride, still managed to squeeze out a smile to see them off.
"Yuemei, you should go back to the room and rest for a while, take care of Xiao He."
Wang Yuemei knew that Zhao Tianhe had drunk a little too much.
Today, she had met many relatives from her husband’s side, but there were too many people, and she wasn’t very familiar with them yet.
"Then I’ll trouble Mother."
After Little Aunt Zhao sent her daughter-in-law back to the room, she went to tend to the relatives who hadn’t left yet.
Today was a day of great joy.
And extremely lively.
Her maternal relatives were also getting ready to leave; after all, it was a long journey back home.
"I’ll be going back now."
Captain Zhao was still here, entertaining some of the village elders.
"Uncle, I’ll have someone take you back." Meals were delivered here, so naturally, someone should escort him back home now.
Quickly, she called over some younger family members who hadn’t left to escort the person home.
Cao Dali had given a heads-up earlier and took his wife and child back home.
Since the Cao Family had divided the property, they didn’t occupy the house allocated to Dali; when they came back for the New Year, they lived there instead.
Eldest Sister Yun didn’t continue to stay either. After sending off some relatives, Little Aunt Zhao stuffed her with many things before letting her daughter’s family leave.
Second Brother Yun decided not to take his children to his parents’ house for dinner that evening; he planned for them to take the bus home separately.
"Little sister, I’ll take the kids and head back first, you know how to get back, right?"
"I know, I know, you guys go ahead."
Originally, today was supposed to be a visit to their maternal home, but since Second Brother Yun lived with his father-in-law, there was no need to make a special trip back to his wife’s family home.
"All right then." Second Brother Yun, holding the youngest, boarded the bus, and the older kids hurriedly followed.
"Little aunt, I’ll come to Grandma’s house to see you tomorrow."
Qingqing thought her little aunt was particularly nice; she bought snacks and played with them.
"We’ll go to the library tomorrow."
Second Brother Yun was interested, although he wanted the kids to fall in love with reading, he knew it wasn’t an easy task.
After seeing them off, Yun Xiaoxiao led her family towards their home.
In the past couple of days, they had been to many places; she wasn’t directionally challenged.
Moreover, these streets weren’t too complicated.
As long as she paid attention, she wouldn’t get lost.
But they didn’t notice that someone was watching them.
The person was Ding Aiguo.
He also hadn’t expected Yun Xiaoxiao to return to her mother’s house, especially with Zhao Tianlei and the two children with her.
Watching her face break into a smile, yet finding the person next to her incredibly irksome.
If only she hadn’t gone to the countryside back then, they might have had a chance to be together.
Yun Xiaoxiao and Zhao Tianlei didn’t notice someone staring at them.
The family of four didn’t take the bus, but walked home instead. The distance was not too far, and it was also an opportunity to enjoy the festive atmosphere of the era.
Something incomparable to the town, as this was the city.
At present, setting off firecrackers and fireworks was still allowed.
"I wonder if Dad and Mom have come back yet?"
Yun Xiaoxiao looked towards the distance, "They must have returned by now."
In this era, apart from a day off, people were eager to shop and even visit relatives.
The concept of weekends off had not yet been introduced.
Even for schoolchildren, the dual weekend days off had not been implemented; it was still just a single day off.
As soon as they entered the family compound, the aunts and old ladies saw them.
