Chapter 71: Questioning

When it was pitch dark, Shen Chengguang did return to the village. Mr. Shen was delighted to see his eldest son home, but he was concerned about what might have brought him back from town at such a late hour.

"Why is Chengguang coming home so late? Has he eaten? My dear wife, quickly check if there's any food left in the pot! If not, hurry up and prepare some!"

"There's no leftover food. I'll go make some egg noodles!" Mrs. Shen stood up, ready to leave the kang bed after hearing these words.

"I've eaten, Mother, there's no need to worry. I had a dream last night that you and Father didn't cover yourselves properly with the quilt. I missed you both, so I wanted to come home and see you. The weather has been getting colder recently. Father, Mother, remember to keep the kang bed warm when sleeping at night." Shen Chengguang quickly stopped Mrs. Shen.
