His arms were bulging with veins from exerting force, and he patted Lin Yizhi's back vigorously with his palms. His voice was a little hoarse, and he said with deep emotion: "My precious daughter, you are finally back." As he spoke, he let go of Lin Yizhi, and gently held his daughter's face with his rough hands, looking at her carefully, his eyes moving from her eyebrows to her slightly bulging belly, the kindness in his eyes overflowing like a tide, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, "You brought my little grandson with you, it's great."

Song Rouying had already burst into tears. She kept wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, but the tears were like beads that had broken off the string, and no matter how hard she wiped them away, they could not be wiped away. She took small steps, her hands trembling, and walked eagerly to Lin Yizhi. She reached out and gently stroked Lin Yizhi's face. Her fingers trembled slightly, sliding from her forehead to her cheek, as if to confirm that this was not a dream. "Yizhi, Mom misses you every day. You don't know how worried Mom is. I'm always worried about you." She said as she pulled Lin Yizhi's hand, put her daughter's hand in the palm of her own hand, and rubbed it repeatedly, feeling her daughter's warmth. "Look at you, you've lost weight. You must have suffered a lot outside."

Lin Yizhi also burst into tears. She shook her head, held her mother's hands tightly with both hands, and said in a sobbing voice: "Mom, I am not suffering. I am very happy now."

At this time, Gu Jiang came over. His steps were a little heavy and nervous. He looked at the two old people expectantly. He took a deep breath, straightened his back, and whispered, "Dad, Mom."

Lin Huaicheng looked at Gu Jiang, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, but it was soon replaced by relief. He walked over with steady strides and patted Gu Jiang's shoulder heavily, the strength of which seemed to convey a kind of trust and entrustment. He frowned slightly, looked at Gu Jiang firmly and said, "Brat, what happened between you two made us very anxious before. But now that I see you two have reconciled, I won't say much. You have to treat Yizhi and the child well. If you let her suffer any injustice again, I will not forgive you."

Gu Jiang nodded quickly, nodding his head like pounding garlic, looking at Lin Huaicheng sincerely, clenching his fists, and said sincerely: "Dad, don't worry, I was wrong before, I will never let Yizhi suffer any grievances in the future, I will take good care of her and the child."

Song Rouying also came over. She took Gu Jiang's hand, patted it gently, and said with love in her eyes: "Xiao Jiang, we have always known that you are a good child. What happened in the past is in the past. Let's live a good life as a family in the future."

Lin Yizhi stood aside, looking at her parents and Gu Jiang, with a happy smile on her face, and the tears in her eyes sparkled in the sunlight, like the most dazzling gems in the world. The family was immersed in the joy of reunion, and the air around them seemed to become warm and sweet.

Lin Huaicheng laughed and waved his hand: "Don't stand here, come in, let's have a good family gathering today." As he said that, he walked into the house first.

People filed in, and the house was filled with the aroma of food. The table was filled with a dazzling array of dishes, all of which were Lin Yizhi's favorites in the past. The sweet and sour spareribs were bright red in color, and the rich sauce wrapped around each piece of spareribs, making people salivate at the sight; the braised prawns were plump, the prawn shells were shiny, and the tenderness of the prawn meat seemed to have spread on the tip of the tongue; and the stir-fried seasonal vegetables were emerald green, and the fresh taste seemed to be lingering on the lips and teeth.

Lin Yizhi's eyes couldn't help but become moist again. She knew that this was carefully prepared by her parents. Song Rouying gently pulled her to sit at the table and said with a smile, "My daughter, try it quickly. This is all made by mom. When you were not at home, mom was thinking about waiting for you to come back and make sure you eat enough."

Gu Jiang was also busy helping Lin Yizhi serve rice and pick up dishes. Lin Yizhi looked at the table full of delicacies, and then looked at her relatives and lover beside her, her heart was full of emotion and happiness. She picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it in her mouth. The familiar taste instantly bloomed on her taste buds. The sweet and sour taste mixed with the warmth of home made her intoxicated. "Mom, it's so delicious, and it still tastes like home." Lin Yizhi said incoherently, with a satisfied smile on her face. Lin Huaicheng looked at his daughter eating happily, and a gratified smile appeared on his face. He picked up the wine glass and said to Gu Jiang: "Xiao Jiang, today our family is reunited, I toast you with this glass of wine, and from now on our family will rely on you and Yizhi to run it well together." Gu Jiang hurriedly stood up and respectfully picked up the wine glass: "Dad, don't worry, I will do my best." After that, he drank it all.

Inside the house, there was constant laughter and joy as the family sat together, sharing this reunion feast. The love between them grew stronger in this warm atmosphere, as if time had stopped for this beauty.

After three rounds of drinks, Lin Yizhi gently stroked her belly, with a maternal glow on her face. Song Rouying watched her daughter's actions, her eyes full of love and expectation. She asked softly, "Yizhi, has the baby been bothering you recently?"

Lin Yizhi shook her head and smiled, "Mom, the baby is very good. Sometimes he moves a little, and that feeling is very wonderful." Gu Jiang listened attentively. He stretched out his hand and carefully placed it on Lin Yizhi's belly, as if waiting for the response of the little life. Suddenly, a surprised expression appeared on his face: "Yizhi, I seem to feel the baby moving!" Everyone was amused by his appearance.

Lin Huaicheng smiled and said, "This child will definitely be naughty in the future, just like Gu Jiang was when he was a child." Gu Jiang scratched his head embarrassedly. Song Rouying glanced at her husband with a grudge, "You are the only one who talks too much. The child hasn't even been born yet, and you're already making up stories."

Lin Wanyi smiled and asked Lin Yizhi: "How have you been out there these years? Are you used to living in a small town?"

Lin Yizhi said proudly: "Not bad, I also learned how to cook and fish."

Lin Wanyi's eyes flashed with surprise and curiosity: "Fishing? This is not easy. How did you learn it?"

Lin Yizhi put down her chopsticks and began to talk excitedly: "When I lived by the sea, I met some local fishermen friends. At first, I just followed their boats to see what was new, but later I couldn't help but try. From the beginning, I couldn't even cast the fishing line properly, to gradually mastering the skills and being able to judge the location of the net based on the water flow and the signs of the fish school, every harvest made me excited. Now the fish soup I make is so delicious, I will show you my skills later."
