Zhang Xiaoxiao and Zhao Guangcai returned home from the mountain and saw Xiao Liang sitting alone outside the Wang family's courtyard from a distance. 0
 
"Xiao Liang, why are you sitting here by yourself?" Zhang Xiaoxiao walked over and asked. 0
 
"Sister Xiaoxiao, I was waiting for you to come back," Xiao Liang replied. 0
 
"Waiting for me? Why?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked, puzzled. 0
 
"I wanted to play with you," Xiao Liang said. 0
 
"Haha, Xiao Liang is so good," Zhang Xiaoxiao said happily. 0
 
"Unfortunately, you took so long to come back that I almost fell asleep," Xiao Liang said gloomily. 0
 
"I'm sorry, Xiao Liang. Auntie didn't know you were waiting for me," Zhang Xiaoxiao apologized. 0
 
"It's okay, I didn't have anything to do anyway," Xiao Liang said generously. 0
 
"Xiao Liang, are you hungry?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked. 0
 
"Not hungry," Xiao Liang shook his head. 0
 
"What do you want to play? Auntie will play with you," Zhang Xiaoxiao said. 0
 
"I want to play hopscotch," Xiao Liang exclaimed excitedly. 0
 
"Okay, Auntie will play with you," Zhang Xiaoxiao agreed readily. 0
 
"Xiaoxiao, you play with Xiao Liang first; I'll go make dinner," Zhao Guangcai said. 0
 
"Alright, you go ahead," Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded. 0
 
Then, Zhao Guangcai went to the kitchen to cook. Zhang Xiaoxiao and Xiao Liang drew squares in the courtyard, preparing to play hopscotch. 0
 
Zhao Guangcai busied himself in the kitchen, washing vegetables, chopping them, and stir-frying, moving skillfully as delicious aromas soon wafted through the kitchen. Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaoxiao and Xiao Liang were having a great time playing in the courtyard, their laughter occasionally ringing out. 0
 
"Xiao Liang, it's time to eat," Zhao Guangcai called out after finishing dinner and coming outside. 0
 
 
"Uncle, I'll play with Sister Xiaoxiao one more time before we eat," Xiao Liang said. 0
"Alright," Zhao Guangcai replied helplessly. 0
So, Zhao Guangcai stood by and watched the two play. 0
"Yay, I finally cleared the level!" Zhang Xiaoxiao exclaimed excitedly. 0
"Sister Xiaoxiao, you're amazing," Xiao Liang praised. 0
"Haha, of course," Zhang Xiaoxiao said proudly. 0
"Sister Xiaoxiao, let's continue playing tomorrow," Xiao Liang suggested. 0
"Sure, Auntie will play with you again tomorrow," Zhang Xiaoxiao agreed readily. 0
"Then I'll head home first," Xiao Liang said. 0
"Okay, bye-bye," Zhang Xiaoxiao waved her hand. 0
After that, Xiao Liang went home. 0
"Guangcai, is dinner ready?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked as she walked into the kitchen. 0
"It's ready, just waiting for you," Zhao Guangcai replied. 0
"Hehe, I got so into the game earlier that I lost track of time," Zhang Xiaoxiao admitted sheepishly. 0
"You and Xiao Liang seemed to have a lot of fun," Zhao Guangcai remarked teasingly. 0
"Yeah, Xiao Liang is really cute; I like him a lot," Zhang Xiaoxiao said without hesitation. 0
"Xiaoxiao, you don't want kids because you want to play with Xiao Liang, do you?" Zhao Guangcai suddenly asked. 0
"How could that be! Am I that kind of person?" Zhang Xiaoxiao retorted. 0
"I think it seems a bit like it," Zhao Guangcai said seriously. 0
"Zhao Guangcai, are you trying to start a fight?" Zhang Xiaoxiao snapped angrily. 0
"No, I was just saying it casually," Zhao Guangcai quickly backed down. 0
"Hmph, that's more like it," Zhang Xiaoxiao said contentedly. 0
"Alright, stop being angry; let's eat first," Zhao Guangcai coaxed. 0
 
 
"Okay." Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded. 0
Then, the two began to have dinner together. 0
"Guangcai, if I want to work at the Textile Factory, would you support me?" Zhang Xiaoxiao suddenly asked. 0
"Xiaoxiao, why do you suddenly want to work?" Zhao Guangcai said in surprise. 0
"I'm just asking casually," Zhang Xiaoxiao replied dismissively. 0
"Xiaoxiao, it's not that I don't want you to work; I just don't want you to be so tired," Zhao Guangcai said seriously. 0
"I know, but I can't just stay at home all the time, right?" Zhang Xiaoxiao said with frustration. 0
"Xiaoxiao, if you want to work, I'll work hard to earn money so you can have a good life," Zhao Guangcai promised. 0
"Guangcai, I understand your intentions, but I also want to share some of the burden with you," Zhang Xiaoxiao said. 0
"Xiaoxiao, I know you care about me, but I've gotten used to this kind of life, and I actually like it," Zhao Guangcai said. 0
"Alright, since you're so insistent, then I won't go to work," Zhang Xiaoxiao compromised. 0
"Xiaoxiao, thank you for understanding me," Zhao Guangcai expressed his gratitude. 0
"We're husband and wife; we should understand each other," Zhang Xiaoxiao smiled. 0
"Xiaoxiao, you're really wonderful," Zhao Guangcai said emotionally. 0
"Guangcai, you're wonderful too," Zhang Xiaoxiao sweetly replied. 0
The two exchanged smiles, and everything was understood without words. 0
