As the bullock cart left the county town's hospital, Lu Cheng had just finished covering his wife and children with a blanket. With one side occupied by Wang Muxiao and the babies, the other side was filled with bags.
When he left the hospital, he didn't forget to greet the guard. "Uncle, thank you for your help that day. We are going back home now."
The guard saw the newborn babies and replied with a smile, "Comrade, congratulations to both of you!"
Wang Muxiao reached into her bag and took out a handful of candies. She handed them to her husband, who then shoved the candies into the guard's hands.
"Uncle, these are some candies to celebrate my family's joyous occasion. Please have it. We will be leaving now," Lu Cheng said before he pushed the bicycle and pedaled away.
Seeing that Lu Cheng didn't want him to refuse, the guard smiled wider and said, "Thank you, comrade!"
Meanwhile, Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo were plowing the soil in the backyard using a small tractor from her space.
After they finished turning the soil, Lu Jueyu stored the tractor back into her space. When they were done, Li Chenmo used a machine to plant the greenhouse with watermelon seeds.
While he was busy planting the seeds, Lu Jueyu went to the corner of the backyard and took out 500 bags of compost from her space. Not long after, she heard the sound of a bell and went to find her husband.
"Husband, someone is here," she said.
Hearing this, Li Chenmo handed the machine to her and said, "I will go and see who is coming. Wife, help me finish the rest."
Lu Jueyu nodded and took the machine as she replied, "Okay."
There were only a few rows of seeds left to be planted, so she quickly finished while her husband went to open the door.
When she was done, she stored the machine back into her space and used lake water from her space to water the garden before she went to wash the dirt off her hands and legs.
At the front yard, Li Chenmo opened the gate, saw unfamiliar faces, and asked, "Comrade, who are you looking for?"
Song Li smiled at his cousin-in-law and replied, "Brother-in-law, I'm Jueyu's older cousin, Song Li. These are my wife and children. It's been a while since we moved to our new house, and we only have time to visit today. I hope we are not bothering you."
When Li Chenmo heard this, he finally recalled that the man in front of him was indeed his wife's maternal cousin. Stepping aside, he gestured for them to enter and said, "Brother-in-law, it's no bother. Please come in."
After locking the gate, he led them to the main hall, glanced at the two boys, and said, "I heard from Ah Li that he often plays with his cousins. It was our negligence as younger siblings not to visit your family sooner."
Song Li was flattered by his cousin-in-law's polite words and said, "Brother-in-law, you are busy. What's more, due to my family's situation, we rarely interacted with my cousin. Only now that we have finally moved out are we able to visit."
