Chapter 792 - 379 Gathering (For Baba Mao +)_1
Qian Yixiu was tidying up when she heard Chengcheng and Xinxin’s loud voices from the courtyard, "Uncle, uncle, who are you looking for?"
Then a familiar burst of laughter and speech followed, "Hahaha, Brother Cheng, Brother Xin, you two have grown so tall, what, don’t you recognize me anymore?"
"We don’t recognize you," the little brothers responded in unison.
Upon hearing that voice, Qian Yixiu couldn’t contain her excitement, and with Sisi in her arms, she ran towards the door.
The man in the courtyard was bending down, pulling the little brothers up. When he saw Qian Yixiu running out with a little girl in her arms, he straightened up and took a few steps to face her. He smiled, "Yixiu, I’m back. The boys have grown so tall, it’s a pity they no longer recognize their old man." He then greedily glanced at the little girl and exclaimed joyfully, "Sisi has grown so much, and she’s so lovely, just like you."
Liang Jinzhao had darkened and lost weight; a ring of stubble framed his lips. He was so hot that sweat drenched his back, and his clothes were soaked through with perspiration.
Tears welled up in Qian Yixiu’s eyes. She smiled and said, "The master has returned. Go and kowtow to the Old Duke first; I’ll have someone prepare your bathwater." Then, she turned to Sisi, who was staring at Liang Jinzhao, and said, "Sisi, this is your daddy. Haven’t you been clamoring for your daddy every day? He’s back now."
Liang Jinzhao wanted to take his daughter from her but hesitated, feeling too filthy, afraid of frightening his delicate little girl. Instead, he lifted each of the boys in one arm.
Qian Yixiu asked why Monkey Brother hadn’t come back with him, and Liang Jinzhao laughed, "Monkey Brother did come back, but as soon as it caught the scent of the golden honey peaches, it ran straight to the Peach Garden to pick peaches."
