In the family compound, the old man was reading the newspaper that had been delivered today.

Seeing Zhang Ma come back with so many groceries, I asked, "Zhang Ma, what are you going to do with all this groceries?"

"It was Yu Chen who called to say that Commander Xiao would be bringing people back today, and asked me to cook some good dishes."

"A guest is coming?" Old Master Xiao asked in surprise.

"I don't know."

"Then you go ahead and get busy."

Aunt Zhang carried the vegetable basket into the kitchen.

Xie Yun, who had just come downstairs, also heard what Zhang Ma said.

After coming downstairs, he asked, "Dad, who's coming over today?"

"I don't know. They said it was that brat Yu Chen who called. He must have some guests coming. We'll know when he gets back."

"How are you today? Are you feeling alright?" the old man asked her with concern.

Ever since the fourth son's child was taken away after birth, this daughter-in-law's health has been very poor.

In the last few years, I've been taking some traditional Chinese medicine, and my health has improved somewhat, but I still get sick from time to time.

"Much better."

Xie Yun also sat down on the sofa.

I had just sat down when I saw Yu Shu return.

"Yushu, why are you back?" Xie Yun looked at her daughter in surprise.

Upon hearing this, the old man also looked up from his newspaper.

"Grandpa, Mom."

"It was Yu Chen who called me and told me to come home for dinner today, saying he had something to tell us."

Xie Yushu walked over and sat down next to her mother.

"What's wrong? Why did I call you back?" Xie Yun asked in surprise.

"I don't know, he won't tell me when I ask, he just says it's a good thing."

"Mom, what good news is happening in our family?" Xie Yushu asked curiously.

Xie Yun was also completely confused. She looked at the old man and asked, "Dad, do you know what this is about?"

"How would I know? He didn't tell me." The old man couldn't imagine what good thing it could be.

Xie Yushu guessed, "Could it be that Yu Chen has a girlfriend and is bringing her home today?"

"Impossible. Yu Chen only just returned from a mission. How could he be dating someone so soon?" Xie Yun had asked him about this before, and he had always said no.

She even offered to find him a partner, but he refused. She's almost driven crazy trying to find him one.

"What's going on?" Xie Yushu asked, puzzled.

"We'll find out what happened when they get back." The old man was also curious, but at the moment, none of them knew what it was about.

We can only wait until they return to express our curiosity.

"You're back. Did your mother-in-law say anything?" Xie Yun asked, holding Xie Yushu's hand.

Xie Yushu forced a bitter smile, "That's just how it is. It's also my fault. We've been married to Derong for so many years and we still don't have a child."

"Didn't you go to the hospital? The doctor said there was nothing wrong. Maybe it's just not meant to be."

"Or, you could have Derong go to the hospital for a checkup too. Having a child is a matter for both of you. What if there's a problem with him?"

Xie Yun was also worried when it came to her daughter's marriage.

At first, neither she nor her father were very satisfied with Lin Derong, and they always felt that he was not a good match.

But my daughter likes it, and things are different now than before; everyone advocates for freedom of marriage.

Xie Yun and Xiao's father reluctantly agreed to their marriage in the end.

They had been married for more than three years but had no children, and Xie Yun was worried about her daughter.

Besides, her mother-in-law wasn't easy to get along with; she kept bringing up the fact that she hadn't had children.

If it weren't for her daughter's objections, she would have wanted them to get a divorce.

"He went to see him too, and he said there was no problem. Maybe it's just that our time hasn't come yet." Xie Yushu didn't want to talk about her own affairs anymore and make her mother worry about her, so she changed the subject.

"Mom, I heard recently that my sister-in-law had another son. Is that true?"

When Xie Yun talked about her eldest son, a smile finally appeared on her face.

"It's true. I was planning to go and visit, and also take care of your sister-in-law during her postpartum period."

"Your older brother and sister-in-law didn't allow it, saying that it's a long journey by boat to their place and they were afraid I wouldn't be able to handle it, so they didn't let me go."

"But I sent them a lot of things. I'll go visit them when I'm feeling better."

Around noon, a jeep drove into the residential compound.

Aunt Zhang has almost finished cooking, and we can eat when they come back.

The jeep stopped in front of the Xiao family's house.

Three people got out of the car: Xiao Yuchen, Xiao's father, and Qin Xiang'an.

After they got out of the car, it drove away.

"Let's go inside."

The family compound where Xiao's father and his family lived was a three-story courtyard, which was allocated to the old man by the army. The whole family lived here.

"Mom, it sounds like Dad's back." Xie Yushu inside heard the door open and her father's voice.

"Okay, go tell Aunt Zhang to hurry up and serve dinner."

Everyone is back, and the food is ready.

"Okay, I'll go right now."

Xie Yushu stood up and was about to walk towards the kitchen when she glanced towards the door.

This glance froze her in place; her eyes were fixed on a young man standing next to her father.

"What's wrong?"

Xie Yun was puzzled when she saw her daughter standing there motionless, looking outside.

"Mom, look at that person!" Xie Yushu quickly pulled her mother over.

The old man also put down his newspaper and looked over.

Just then, Xiao's father and the others entered the house.

Xie Yun looked towards the doorway, and upon seeing it, she froze on the spot, her eyes filled with shock.

She quickly walked a few steps to Qin Xiang'an.

He stared at her intently, afraid that if he blinked even once, he would misread her.

"Jianguo, who is he?"

When she asked the last three words, Xie Yun's tears instantly welled up.

"Mom, this is our fourth son. We've found him." Xiao Yuchen said with a smile.

"Yes, Xiaoyun, our fourth brother is back." Tears welled up in Xiao Jianguo's eyes again, and his voice was choked with emotion.

"Oh, my son, my child."

Xie Yun threw herself onto Qin Xiang'an, hugged him tightly, and burst into tears.

The child she had been waiting for all these years has finally been found.

Xie Yun burst into tears and cried for a long time. Qin Xiang'an did not push her away but let him hold her.

Hearing her cries, Qin Xiang'an felt a pang of sadness, perhaps because of their familial bond.

He reached out and hugged her, gently patting his mother who was sobbing uncontrollably.

"Alright, alright, it's good that our son is back, stop crying."

Xiao's father came over to comfort his wife.

Xie Yun slowly stopped crying. She looked up at her son, who looked exactly like her husband when he was young, and felt very happy.

"Come here, Xiang An, let me introduce you. This is your mother. She's been hoping every day that she can find you."

"And this is your grandfather, and this is your second sister."

Mr. Xiao then introduced everyone present.

"It's good that we found him. This kid looks like a member of the Xiao family. He looks exactly like you when you were young." The old man's eyes were also filled with tears.

This youngest grandson was taken away before he was even born.

Although the person who took him was found and punished accordingly.

But his grandson had been missing for decades, and now he has finally been found.

Based on his appearance alone, no one would doubt that he is not a member of the Xiao family.

Qin Xiang'an nodded to them, still feeling quite uncomfortable with these suddenly added family members.

"Let's eat first. Aunt Zhang should have prepared all the food. Let's eat first."

"I'll go ask Aunt Zhang to bring the dishes out right away," Xie Yushu said happily as she entered the kitchen.
