Zhang Xiaoxiao and Zhao Guangcai were chatting when Zhao Guangcai suddenly asked, "Xiaoxiao, where did you go this afternoon?" 0
"I went to chat with the aunties," Zhang Xiaoxiao replied. 0
"Chatting?" Zhao Guangcai looked at Zhang Xiaoxiao in confusion. 0
"Yeah," Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded. 0
"What did you all talk about?" Zhao Guangcai asked. 0
"Of course, we talked about the Li Family leaving," Zhang Xiaoxiao said. 0
"Weren't you afraid the Li Family would hear you talking about this?" Zhao Guangcai asked. 0
"What's there to be afraid of?" Zhang Xiaoxiao replied, puzzled. 0
"If the Li Family finds out that you were chatting like this, they might not be happy," Zhao Guangcai said. 0
"I don't care," Zhang Xiaoxiao shrugged. 0
"You, huh," Zhao Guangcai smiled helplessly. 0
"I'm just speaking the truth," Zhang Xiaoxiao said, blinking her eyes. 0
"I know," Zhao Guangcai smiled indulgently. 0
"Hehe," Zhang Xiaoxiao laughed happily. 0
 
At that moment, more and more people gathered in the Li Family's yard. 0
"Brother Li, Qiuhua, are you leaving now?" 0
"Brother Li, Qiuhua, don't forget us after you leave." 0
"Brother Li, Qiuhua, when you go to the capital, don't forget us fellow villagers." 0
"Brother Li, Qiuhua, take these things with you; eat them on the way." 0
 
The villagers surrounded the Li Family, chattering away. 0
"Thank you, everyone, thank you," Sun Qiuhua said with a smile. 0
"Qiuhua, take these; it's just a little token from us," one Aunt said. 0
"Yes, Qiuhua, these things aren't worth much; it's just our small gesture," another Aunt added. 0
"Qiuhua, please don't refuse," an Uncle said as well. 0
"I know everyone is very kind, but we really can't accept them," Sun Qiuhua declined. 0
"Qiuhua, we're all from the same village; our feelings are worth more than these things," one Aunt said. 0
"That's right, Qiuhua; these things aren't worth much; it's just our little gesture," another Aunt echoed. 0
"We appreciate your kindness, but we really can't accept these things," Sun Qiuhua firmly refused. 0
"Qiuhua, do you think it's too little?" one Aunt asked. 0
"No, no! You've misunderstood," Sun Qiuhua quickly waved her hands. 0
 
 
"Then why don't you accept it?" the Aunt asked. 0
"You should take these things back," Sun Qiuhua said. 0
"Qiuhua, do you look down on us?" the Aunt replied. 0
"No, I really didn't mean that," Sun Qiuhua hurriedly explained. 0
"Then why won't you accept it?" the Aunt pressed. 0
"I..." Sun Qiuhua was left speechless. 0
She couldn't just say she was afraid these people would cause trouble for them in the future, could she? 0
"Qiuhua, just accept it," Aunt Qian said. 0
"Yes, Qiuhua, these things aren't worth much; it's just a small token of our appreciation," Aunt Xinghua added. 0
"I..." Sun Qiuhua felt a bit troubled. 0
"Qiuhua, don't refuse anymore," Aunt Qian urged. 0
"Alright," Sun Qiuhua reluctantly agreed. 0
"That's more like it," Aunt Qian and Aunt Xinghua smiled upon hearing this. 0
"Dad, Mom, everything is packed," Li Xiumei came over and said. 0
"Mm," Sun Qiuhua nodded. 0
"Then let's go," Li Xiumei said. 0
"Okay," Sun Qiuhua replied. 0
Sun Qiuhua and the others walked out of the house and into the yard. 0
"This..." Li Xiumei was stunned as she looked at the villagers filling the yard. 0
"Xiu Mei, have you all packed up?" an Aunt asked. 0
"Mm," Li Xiumei nodded. 0
"Then hurry up and leave," the Aunt said. 0
"No rush, no rush," Li Xiumei waved her hand. 0
"How can there be no rush? If we don't leave soon, it'll be dark," the Aunt insisted. 0
"We still have luggage to pack," Li Xiumei found an excuse. 0
"Then hurry up; we'll wait for you outside," the Aunt said. 0
"Mm," Li Xiumei nodded again. 0
"Um..." Father Li suddenly spoke up. 0
"What is it?" the Aunt asked. 0
"We're only taking one car to the capital this time, so..." Father Li hesitated. 0
"So what?" the Aunt pressed further. 0
"So..." Father Li glanced at the people in the yard and said, "So with so many things, our car might not fit." 0
"Huh?" The villagers were taken aback upon hearing this. 0
 
 
"What should we do with these things?" an Aunt asked. 0
"Well..." Father Li also didn't know what to do. 0
"Although these things aren't worth much, they are a token of everyone's goodwill. We can't just take them back, can we?" an Uncle said. 0
"Um..." Father Li was at a loss for words. 0
"Qiuhua, look at this situation," Aunt Qian said somewhat awkwardly. 0
"It's okay, we will accept all these things," Sun Qiuhua said with a smile. 0
"Really?" Aunt Qian looked at Sun Qiuhua in surprise. 0
"Yes," Sun Qiuhua nodded. 0
"Qiuhua, you are so kind," Aunt Qian said, holding Sun Qiuhua's hand gratefully. 0
"We are all Fellow Villagers; it's only right to help each other," Sun Qiuhua said. 0
"Yes, yes, yes, Qiuhua is right," Aunt Qian quickly agreed. 0
"Qiuhua, let's make it clear that you will keep all these things," Aunt Xinghua said. 0
"Okay," Sun Qiuhua nodded. 0
"Qiuhua, you mustn't forget us," Aunt Qian urged. 0
"Don't worry, I won't forget," Sun Qiuhua said with a smile. 0
"Qiuhua, when you go to the capital this time, make sure to come back and visit us often," Aunt Xinghua said. 0
"Yes," Sun Qiuhua nodded. 0
"Qiuhua, take these things and eat on the way," Aunt Qian stuffed the items into Sun Qiuhua's arms. 0
"This..." Sun Qiuhua looked at the items in her arms, feeling a bit embarrassed. 0
"Qiuhua, if you don't accept these things, it means you look down on us," Aunt Xinghua said. 0
"No, no," Sun Qiuhua quickly waved her hands. 0
"Then just accept them," Aunt Xinghua insisted. 0
"Alright," Sun Qiuhua reluctantly agreed. 0
