So what the mute did was to save this friendship.

But Ke Hanxue can also see from Ge Yunzhang's attitude towards Ouyang Fan that he doesn't seem to care about the dumb friend, right?
"Turn on the fire, I'll wash some dried vegetables and stir-fry bacon." Ge Yunzhang interrupted Ke Hanxue's thoughts.

Ke Hanxue squatted in front of the stove and started a fire, and asked, "Ge Yunzhang, who are you, the shopkeeper of the restaurant?"

Ge Yunzhang smiled, knowing she would ask.

"When my mother and I lived in the compound on the outskirts of the capital, Uncle Jianzhong lived in that compound."

"He's your father..." As soon as Ke Hanxue said that, seeing Ge Yunzhang's face turn cold, he hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I made a slip of the tongue! What I mean is that man arranged for the shopkeeper to take care of you in the compound?"

"He was the housekeeper who took care of the compound, and took good care of our mother and child. Speaking of which, I can be regarded as being raised by him alone." Ge Yunzhang restrained his previous emotions and smiled at her.

"I didn't even see it." She curled her lips, this guy hides too deeply.

After Ge Yunzhang and the others cooked the meal, Ge Shi, Ke Zhong Shi and the others also made the bed.

Because of the rush, everyone hadn't washed up for several days. After eating, Ke Hanxue boiled water again and asked everyone to wash up.

When we returned to the village on the first day, everyone was so excited that they couldn't sleep. After washing up, they lit the oil lamps and chatted in the living room.

Speaking of this oil lamp, Hong'er and Zhu'er were very surprised, because this oil lamp was not like the oil lamps that could be placed on the table in their family before. Ji stared curiously at the oil lamps on the wall.

Everyone was chatting vigorously, Ouyang Fan came in with the village chief.

"Village Chief, why are you here?" Brothers Ke Mengshi and Ke Shuisheng went up to meet him.

"I saw the Tongsuo couple in the shed just now, so I knew you were back." The village chief smoothed his beard and said with a smile: "I am relieved to see that you are safe and sound."

"Village Chief, the situation was urgent and we didn't have time to say goodbye to you, so please don't take offense." Ke Shuisheng said as he helped the village chief to a chair and sat down.

"You said that the situation is urgent, how can I blame you."

At this time, Ge Shi thought about the burning of the village, and said guiltily: "Speaking of which, we are the ones who have harmed the villagers!"

If it wasn't for his son taking in the mute, he wouldn't have caused these troubles in the village.

"Ms. Ge, you are wrong to say that!" The village head said: "Didn't you hear what the villagers are saying? It's too late for them to thank you. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't even dare to think about living here." Green brick house!"

The village head sighed with emotion, and said again: "But what we didn't expect is that the mute you took in will be the prince!"

Farmers’ minds are not that complicated. In the eyes of the village head and the villagers of Shuihe Village, if the prince hadn’t paid for them to buy bricks and tiles to build a new house, they would have become homeless. It was too far away, and I didn't think about why those officers and soldiers burned their houses.

"Mr. Ge, I heard that you recognize the prince. Please thank the prince on behalf of the whole village. If it weren't for the prince, the whole village would not know how to survive." The village chief said to Ge Yunzhang again.

"Village chief, he owes everyone this, so there is no need to thank him!" Ge Yunzhang said disapprovingly.

"Mr. Ge, how can you say this? It would be bad if the prince's people heard this!" The village chief looked nervously at the door, and seeing that Ouyang Fan was not there, he said again: "Mr. Ge, don't you I know that after those officers and soldiers burned our village, how many villages were looking for life and death. Later, when the prince came, he said that he would buy bricks and tiles for everyone and let everyone build new houses. Each household was given 20 taels of silver as compensation, and it is really a blessing for the people of Anyuan Kingdom to have such a compassionate prince!"

Hearing that the village head supported the mute so much, Ge Yunzhang sneered in his heart and didn't argue with him again. This was just a small part of the mute's way of buying people's hearts.

The village chief chatted with Ke Shuisheng and others until very late before Nie Hui sent him back.

At dawn the next day, Mrs. Ke Zhong proposed to return to her natal home.

Ke Mengshi said: "It's time to go, so that they can rest assured."

Ke Shuisheng's family went to Shangpo Village with Kong Dafu and his wife, and Ge Yunzhang drove another ox cart with Nie Hui after the Ke family left.

Before Kong Dafu drove the ox cart to the gate of Zhong's house, Ke Zhong yelled: "Father, mother—"

Ke Hanxue's eldest aunt, Zhong Lishi, heard Ke Zhongshi's cry, and hurried out of the house. Seeing that it was really Ke Zhongshi, she hurriedly shouted happily into the room: "Mother, Yuerong is back! ! Yuerong is back!"

"Sister-in-law, how are you all?" Ke Zhong asked, pulling Zhong Li.

Mrs. Zhong Li sighed, and said with red eyes: "How can it be good? Ever since the father of Tongsuo sent a message saying that you escaped, mother has been crying every day, almost blinding her eyes from crying!"

"Where's your wife?" Ke Zhongshi cried when she heard her mother worrying about her.

"Yuerong—" Grandma Zhong Wangshi came out tremblingly when she heard her daughter came back.

"Mother—" Ke Zhong cried and ran over to support his mother, the mother and daughter hugged each other and began to cry.

Zhong Lishi, Ke Hanxue and others also looked at them crying and laughing.

"By the way, mother, Chun'er gave birth to a great-grandson for you!" Ke Zhong wiped away her tears and asked Ke Hanchun to carry the child forward.

Zhong Wang also wiped away her tears, and said, "Chun'er, it's windy outside, quickly take the child into the house."

Ke Shuisheng asked Kong Dafu to pull the ox cart into the yard, and then moved a small bag of food in the cart into the house. No one opened a shop in the town, so they couldn't buy anything else. These were leftovers from the road. some food.

"Sanya, your sister-in-law and the others are back, go and call your grandfather, your father, and your brother back, and go to your second aunt's house to inform them." Zhong Li said to the back room who was doing embroidery work. cried the daughter.

"Sister-in-law is back?" Sanya from the room ran out excitedly, greeted Ke Zhongshi and the others one by one, and then ran out.

Not long after, Grandpa Zhong An and others came back, and Ke Zhong cried again.

"Hey, is this the child of Chun'er and Dafu?" Second aunt Zhong He asked looking at the child in her mother-in-law's arms.

"Second aunt, this is my little nephew!" Hong'er shouted with a smile.

"Hey, aren't you happy that Hong'er is an uncle at such a young age?" Zhong He pinched Hong'er's little nose amusedly, and asked.

"My mother and sister won't let me hug, I'm not very happy!" Hong'er said with her lips pouted.
