After staying at Uncle Zhou's house for a while, Zhou Ziwen left with his family until the time was almost up.

When we left Zhou Bo's house, it was gradually getting dark.

The snowflakes still fall gently, adding a layer of quiet beauty to the night world.

Zhou Ziwen and his family were walking on the way home. Little Yueyue was sleeping soundly in Chen Qiaoyi's arms with a faint smile on her lips, as if she was having a sweet dream.

Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang walked side by side, chatting as they walked, and the topic expanded from the breeding industry to the overall planning of the village.

Zhou Ziwen mentioned that he has recently considered introducing some modern agricultural technologies, such as greenhouse cultivation and automated irrigation systems, to improve crop yields and quality.

"This not only reduces labor input, but also ensures that crops can grow stably even in bad weather," Zhou Ziwen explained.

Zhou Chaoyang nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "This is a good idea. These technologies can play a big role, especially in dry seasons or extreme weather conditions."

The two continued to discuss their future plans and before they knew it they had returned home.

The house was warm as spring, and Zhou's mother had already prepared a sumptuous dinner.

Back home, the warmth inside was in stark contrast to the cold outside.

When Zhou's mother saw Zhou Ziwen coming back with his family and Zhou Chaoyang, she hurriedly invited everyone into the house with a kind smile on her face.

"Come in quickly, it's cold outside, don't let the child catch a cold."

As she spoke, she took Xiao Yueyue from Chen Qiaoyi's hands and gently placed her on the kang.

Father Zhou also came out from the inner room. Seeing Zhou Chaoyang, he patted his shoulder enthusiastically and said, "Chaoyang, you came at the right time. I just made a pot of delicious soup today. Let's all have a taste."

Zhou Chaoyang smiled and responded: "Uncle, you are too polite. I trouble you to prepare so many delicious foods every time I come."

"We are one family, but we are talking in different languages." Zhou's father said with a smile, "We all have the surname Zhou. We were one family five hundred years ago!"

At home, Zhou Ziwen found that his brother-in-law Zheng Ming and future brother-in-law Li Qiang were also there.

Speaking of which, this was the first time that Li Qiang came to visit in such a formal manner.

Zhou Ziwen felt warm in his heart when he saw Zheng Ming and Li Qiang were also at home.

Zheng Ming is the husband of the eldest sister Zhou Xiulan, and Li Qiang is the man that the second sister Zhou Xiumei is about to marry. This is the first time that he has officially come to pay New Year's greetings as a future brother-in-law.

Zhou Ziwen stepped forward, shook hands with the two men and expressed his welcome to them.

I don’t know why, but Li Qiang always feels afraid of Zhou Ziwen.

When he saw Zhou Ziwen, he was like seeing a tiger. He began to stutter and his eyes avoided the target unconsciously.

Of course Zhou Ziwen had anticipated this.

The reason why Li Qiang was so scared when he saw him was mainly because of his aura.

With his mastery of multiple full-level boxing techniques, ordinary people would be terrified when they see him!

As for why others did not have this reaction, it was of course because he restrained his aura.

His aura was directed only at Li Qiang.

He felt that his future brother-in-law Li Qiang was a little too eccentric.

Using your power to put pressure on him is also to make him aware of the pros and cons.

Zhou Ziwen smiled and said to Li Qiang: "Brother Qiang, don't be nervous. Today is Chinese New Year. We are all family. There is no need to be so restrained."

After hearing Zhou Ziwen's words, Li Qiang tried to calm himself down and tried to relax.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

"Ziwen, I... I am indeed a little nervous. After all, this is the first time I officially visit you to wish you a happy new year." Li Qiang smiled awkwardly, trying to hide his uneasiness.

Zhou Ziwen nodded, showing his understanding: "It's okay, you'll be fine once you get used to it. By the way, Brother Qiang, how's your work going lately?"

When Li Qiang heard Zhou Ziwen mention work, he relaxed a little and started talking about his own work situation: "It's OK, but there are a lot of projects recently, so I'm a bit busy."

Zhou Ziwen smiled and responded, "It's good to be busy, which means your career is on the rise. Brother Qiang, you have to work harder, my second sister will still have to rely on you to take care of her in the future."

Li Qiang patted his chest and assured: "Of course, I will definitely treat Xiumei well and will never let her suffer any injustice."

"That's good." Zhou Ziwen nodded.

If Li Qiang treats his second sister badly, he has plenty of ways to deal with him.

As we were talking, the meal was almost ready.

Father Zhou called out, "Everyone, come and eat, the food is getting cold."

Zhou Ma also said: "Yes, come quickly, today's dishes are specially prepared for everyone, you must try them."

Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang smiled at each other and sat around the dining table with their families. Little Yueyue was still sleeping in Chen Qiaoyi's arms. Mother Zhou gently put her on the small bed beside her and covered her with a small quilt to ensure that she would not catch a cold.

The table was filled with a variety of dishes, including braised pork, steamed fish, chicken soup, and various cold and hot dishes, colorful and fragrant. Zhou Ma's cooking skills were as good as ever, and every dish was cooked just right.

"Come on, everyone, start eating." Dad Zhou raised his chopsticks and signaled everyone to start eating.

Zhou Ziwen picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth. The meat was tender and juicy, and the taste was mellow. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Mom, this braised pork is so delicious!"

Zhou Ma smiled and replied: "As long as you like it, I cooked more for you."

Zhou Chaoyang also picked up a piece of fish, tasted it, and praised it highly: "This steamed fish is also unique, the fish is tender and the seasoning is just right."

Everyone was enjoying the food and chatting, the atmosphere was warm and pleasant.

Zheng Ming and Li Qiang also joined the conversation. Everyone talked about their work and life and shared each other's joys and sorrows.

Father Zhou raised his glass and suggested, "Come on, let's toast to today's reunion and the future of our family."

Everyone raised their glasses, the glasses clinked together making crisp sounds, and everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.

After the meal, Mother Zhou cleaned up the table while Father Zhou continued chatting with everyone.

Zhou Ziwen sat aside, looking at the smiling faces of his family, his heart filled with warmth and satisfaction.

It wasn't until it got too late outside that everyone went home.

"Ziwen, when are you planning to go back to the countryside?" When asking this question, Zhou's father was still a little reluctant.

His youngest son has never suffered hardship since childhood.

Although I have become more and more outstanding in the past few years in the countryside, I must have suffered a lot.

Zhou Ziwen looked at his father and answered, "Dad, I plan to go back after the Lantern Festival. There are still many things in the village that need my attention, and I have also promised the villagers that I will go back to celebrate the New Year."

Father Zhou nodded. Although he was reluctant, he still supported his son's decision: "Well, you should take care of yourself when you go back and don't get too tired."

"I will, Dad." Zhou Ziwen responded with a smile, feeling warm in his heart at his father's concern.
