“Xiao Liang, wait here for a moment. I'll finish cleaning the dishes and then we can play,” Zhang Xiaoxiao said. 0
“Okay,” Xiao Liang nodded obediently. 0
Zhang Xiaoxiao smiled and began to tidy up the table. 0
Once she finished cleaning, she took Xiao Liang outside. 0
She wanted to stroll around the village and listen to the aunts chatting. 0
As they reached the village entrance, they encountered several aunts. 0
“ Xiaoxiao, good morning,” the aunts greeted Zhang Xiaoxiao warmly. 0
“Good morning, aunts,” Zhang Xiaoxiao replied sweetly. 0
“ Xiaoxiao, where is Zhao Guangcai?” Aunt Wang asked curiously. 0
“He went to the market,” Zhang Xiaoxiao answered. 0
“He's off to the market again?” Aunt Li said enviously. 0
“Yes,” Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded. 0
“You two really are a sweet couple,” Aunt Zhao also remarked enviously. 0
“Aunt, please don't envy me,” Zhang Xiaoxiao said shyly. 0
“ Xiaoxiao, your relationship with Zhao Guangcai is really good,” Aunt Zhou added enviously. 0
“Aunt, Zhao Guangcai and I argue sometimes too,” Zhang Xiaoxiao said. 0
“You two argue?” Aunt Zhang said in disbelief. 0
“Yes, we are just ordinary people,” Zhang Xiaoxiao laughed. 0
“But you seem so loving,” Aunt Liu said as well. 0
“Aunt, couples shouldn't hold grudges overnight,” Zhang Xiaoxiao laughed. 0
“Sigh, if only my husband could treat me like Zhao Guangcai treats you,” Aunt Li sighed. 0
“Aunt, couples need to be understanding of each other; that's how you can last long together,” Zhang Xiaoxiao said. 0
“ Xiaoxiao, you make a good point,” Aunt Wang nodded. 0
By the way, aunts, what are you chatting about?” Zhang Xiaoxiao asked curiously. 0
 
 
"We are talking about the Li Family," Aunt Zhou said. 0
 
"What happened with the Li Family?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked, puzzled. 0
 
"Something big happened last night," Aunt Zhao said. 0
 
"What was it?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked curiously. 0
 
"A car came to the village entrance last night," Aunt Zhang said. 0
 
"A car?" Zhang Xiaoxiao was taken aback. 0
 
"Yes, we've never seen a car before," Aunt Liu added. 0
 
"It came from the capital," Aunt Wang said. 0
 
"From the capital?" Zhang Xiaoxiao was even more curious. 0
 
"Yes, I heard it's a big shot," Aunt Zhou said. 0
 
"Really?" Zhang Xiaoxiao exclaimed in surprise. 0
 
"Yes, none of us have seen him," Aunt Zhao said. 0
 
"Then what did he come for?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked again. 0
 
"No one knows," everyone shook their heads. 0
 
"When is he leaving?" Zhang Xiaoxiao inquired. 0
 
"No one knows," they shook their heads again. 0
 
"Oh," Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded. 0
 
"Xiaoxiao, why are you so curious about the Li Family?" Aunt Wang asked. 0
 
"I was just asking casually," Zhang Xiaoxiao laughed. 0
 
"I thought you had some connection with the Li Family," Aunt Li said. 0
 
"How could I have any connection with the Li Family?" Zhang Xiaoxiao laughed. 0
 
"That's true," Aunt Li nodded. 0
 
"Aunts, you continue chatting. I'll take Xiao Liang to play over there," Zhang Xiaoxiao said. 0
 
"Okay," everyone nodded. 0
 
Zhang Xiaoxiao took Xiao Liang away. 0
 
"Sister-in-law, those aunts seem to really like you," Xiao Liang said. 0
 
 
"Not bad," Zhang Xiaoxiao said with a smile. 0
"They all envy your relationship with Brother Zhao," Xiao Liang remarked. 0
"Hehe, actually, Zhao Guangcai and I argue too," Zhang Xiaoxiao chuckled. 0
"But you both look very happy," Xiao Liang said. 0
"We're just ordinary people, and we have our worries too," Zhang Xiaoxiao replied. 0
"I hope you and Brother Zhao can be happy forever," Xiao Liang expressed. 0
"Thank you, Xiao Liang," Zhang Xiaoxiao smiled. 0
"Sister-in-law, I'm going to play," Xiao Liang announced. 0
"Go ahead," Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded. 0
After Xiao Liang ran off, Zhang Xiaoxiao found a place to sit down. 0
She gazed into the distance, lost in thought. 0
She had been in this world for some time now and had gradually adapted to life here. 0
Although life was tough, she felt content because she had Zhao Guangcai. 0
All she hoped for was to be together with Zhao Guangcai forever and never be apart. 0
"Beep beep beep..." 0
The sound of a car horn drew the attention of the villagers. 0
"Look, it's that little car again," someone shouted. 0
Everyone gathered around to watch. 0
Zhao Xiaosong sat in the back seat of the car, resting his eyes. 0
In fact, he wasn't asleep; he was deep in thought. 0
He was contemplating how to fulfill his mother's request to bring his sister back to the capital. 0
This morning, while watching the hustle and bustle at the market, he suddenly remembered something. 0
He recalled a similar scene from his childhood. 0
Back then, he was very young. 0
He had followed his mother to his grandmother's house and saw many people gathered around a small vendor at the market selling candied hawthorn sticks. 0
 
 
He pulled his mother's hand, insisting on having candied hawthorn. 0
His mother bought him a skewer, and he enjoyed it immensely. 0
Later, as he grew up, he never had candied hawthorn again. 0
This morning, seeing the scene at the market, he suddenly craved another skewer of candied hawthorn. 0
So, he asked the driver to turn around and head back to the market. 0
He wandered around the market and bought many things. 0
However, he could not find any vendor selling candied hawthorn. 0
He couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. 0
Maybe this is fate, he thought. 0
He sighed, leaned back in the rear seat, and closed his eyes to rest. 0
Suddenly, he felt a gaze fixed on him. 0
He opened his eyes wide and looked out the window. 0
He saw a familiar face, and his face instantly turned pale. 0
He almost cried out, but that face quickly disappeared. 0
He rubbed his eyes and looked again; where was that face? 0
It seemed he hadn't rested well and was seeing things. 0
He thought. 0
"Young Master, what's wrong?" the driver asked. 0
"I'm fine," Zhao Xiaosong shook his head. 0
"Are you really okay?" the driver said with concern. 0
"I'm really fine," Zhao Xiaosong replied. 0
"Then take a rest; I'll call you when we arrive," the driver said. 0
"Okay," Zhao Xiaosong nodded. 0
