Although he said this, his eyes unconsciously drifted towards Xie Yi, and he thought to himself: That time when I went out hunting with my brother-in-law, I saw his strong body and agile movements, and I was so envious.

From then on, he began to work hard on training secretly, hoping to have an admirable physique like his brother-in-law.

Xie Yi caught Xu Xiaoyu's slightly admiring look, and his heart warmed. He gently pounded his chest and gave encouragement with a smile: "You look good. Not bad."

His eyes were full of appreciation and encouragement.

Hearing this, Xu Xiaoyu grinned, his smile revealing a hint of shyness, but more of it was the joy of being recognized.

However, Xu Hengwen on the side disagreed with this situation. He glared at Xu Xiaoyu with dissatisfaction and secretly criticized in his heart: This guy looks like he has never seen the world. It's really embarrassing!

The brothers had been competing with each other since they were young. Xu Xiaoyu was naturally unwilling to be overpowered by his brother, so he rolled his eyes provocatively, and deliberately moved closer to Xie Yi, enthusiastically offering to help him carry his luggage to show his "manliness".

Xu Hengwen could only shake his head helplessly, expressing his helplessness towards his brother's obvious behavior of "competing for favor".

At the same time, Xie Yi was also harassed by another "little trouble maker" at home - Erbao.

Erbao recognized his uncle Xu Hengwen, a soldier, at first sight, and his eyes sparkled as if he had discovered a treasure: "Uncle!"

His voice was full of excitement and adoration.

Xu Hengwen was slightly surprised, but quickly confirmed: "Is it Erbao?"

"Yes, that's me!"

Erbao excitedly leaned forward and introduced himself, "The Erbao who wrote to you, uncle!"

Seeing this, Xie Yi could only smile bitterly.

This sudden "fan meeting" made him feel both embarrassed and a little funny.

Seeing Xie Yi's helpless expression, Xu Hengwen couldn't help but laugh triumphantly, and then started chatting with Erbao in a friendly manner, trying to regain some "face" in this way.

Xu Xiufang and Zhou Lijuan, who were standing aside, smiled at each other with tenderness in their eyes. They understood each other tacitly: in some ways, men are really like children who never grow up.

The two sisters also started their conversation. Xu Xiufang spoke first: "Sister-in-law, we finally meet!"

Zhou Lijuan was very excited to see this legendary "love mentor": "Xiufang, you are even more beautiful in person than in the photo. Your skin is crystal clear and you look as youthful as a young girl."

"No, no, you too, with your tall figure and unique temperament, are really enviable."

Xu Xiufang responded generously with praise, her eyes full of recognition and love for Zhou Lijuan.

Zhou Lijuan smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth, with stars twinkling in her eyes: "Me too, I like you more and more!"

Xu Xiufang raised her eyebrows and thought to herself: A woman who has been able to pursue my eldest brother relentlessly for three years is indeed both straightforward and sincere. No wonder my eldest brother likes her so much.

"Okay, okay, let's get in the car and go home. Mom and Dad must be waiting anxiously."

Xu Xiufang suggested, interrupting the two people's mutual praise.

"That's right, we have to go back quickly."

When Xu Xiaoyu thought of his parents who were looking forward to their return, he couldn't help but feel a warm and anxious feeling in his heart. He knew that if he was any later, his parents would be worried.

"Are grandparents here too?"

Xu Xiufang asked curiously, and the extra vehicles made her wonder whether they were provided by the government for the two elderly people.

"Grandpa and grandma couldn't come this time," Xu Xiaoyu explained, "They wanted to come, but considering the cold weather and their age and mobility problems, my parents didn't let them come. They said we can go see them together when you are free."

"Okay, let's go visit them together next time."

Xu Xiufang nodded slightly, and secretly decided in her heart that she must find time to visit her grandparents whom she had not seen for a long time.

The group embarked on the journey home, full of family love and joy, where there was the warmest embrace and the deep concern and love for their family that had never changed for a long time.

The two cars are like twins with perfect understanding, each carrying the warmth and expectations of the family, and then going their separate ways.

Xu Hengwen gripped the steering wheel tightly, his eyes focused and steady. In the car sat Xie Yi, Xu Xiufang, and three lively and lovely children - Xiaoyun, Erbao, and Zhou Lijuan. Their laughter intertwined into a cheerful family sonata.

At the same time, another agile young soldier drove another vehicle full of luggage and followed closely behind. In the car, Xu Xiaoyu, Dabao and Xiaobao excitedly discussed the upcoming reunion, their eyes flashing with infinite longing for home.

The scenery along the way passed by quickly, and the laughter in the car seemed to add a happy background music to the journey. Unknowingly, the car slowly drove into the street full of familiar atmosphere, and the outline of the Xu family gradually became clear in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Xu Xiufang looked through the car window and caught a glimpse of several figures in front of her house from afar.

They were her parents. They both looked in that direction at the same time. When their eyes met the approaching car, irrepressible joy blossomed on their faces. Their bodies leaned forward involuntarily, and their anticipation and love almost overflowed the screen.

For Xu Xiufang, the longing she had felt for her father for so many days seemed to have found an outlet at this moment. As soon as the car stopped, she couldn't wait to open the door to her home, calling out with deep affection: "Dad, Mom!"

Although Mr. Xu was using a cane and his steps were a little unsteady, he was still anxious. His mother carefully supported him and took every step cautiously, fearing that any mistake would ruin this rare reunion.

Xu Xiufang almost ran over and threw herself into her father's warm arms, and her father caught her steadily, as if time had stopped at this moment, leaving only the warmth and reluctance between family members.

The mother's half-reproachful, half-joking words concealed endless doting: "Hey, why are you becoming more and more childish as you grow older? You don't even know how much you weigh, and you almost knocked your dad off balance!"

Father Xu was unwilling to let his daughter suffer any injustice, so he immediately defended her: "What nonsense are you talking about? She is so light, how could she knock me down so easily?"

Xu Xiufang jumped out of her father's arms, smiling like a flower, and turned to embrace her mother's arms. Her words were full of dependence and longing: "Okay, okay, don't be jealous, I'll hug you too, Mom, I really miss you so much!"

The mother's fake serious expression could not be maintained in the end. She was completely melted by this heartwarming scene, and her laughter was full of happiness: "You are such a clever girl. You are the best at making people happy!"

Then, the three little kids in the car couldn’t hold back their excitement and rushed down, remembering their long-lost grandma so vividly that they all shouted, “Grandma!”
