Ever since Jiang Mianmian went to Capital City, Wang Li’s mother had sent Wang Li to the Li family, to study along with Li Lan.
Not long after Aunt Li left, Li Lan and Wang Li excitedly ran out, clearly aware that Jiang Mianmian had returned and were rushing to play with her.
Seeing Jiang Mianmian, Wang Li excitedly asked, "Jiang Mianmian, you’re back! How is Capital City? Is it fun? Is everything Big Brother Yu said before true? Did you go to the Great Wall?"
"Wang Li, slow down with the questions, you suddenly ask so much, which question do you expect Mianmian to answer?" Although Li Lan was also curious, she immediately frowned and spoke up to protect her idol.
Chided by Li Lan, Wang Li glared at her unhappily but still took the advice and began to ask one question at a time.
"Jiang Mianmian, was Capital City fun? Where did you go?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mianmian puffed up her chest and began to tell them about her trip to Capital City.
"Wang Li, Sister Lanlan, let me tell you, Capital City was so much fun! This time I went to Capital University and Qingbei University. Their libraries are especially great, all sorts of books are available for free. And Wangfujing, I even watched the flag-raising ceremony..."
The children gathered together, asking questions and answering them, while a group of adults also gathered, eating roasted duck and listening, occasionally bursting into hearty laughter, creating an exceptionally harmonious atmosphere.
That evening, the family of three ate almost half a roasted duck, and looking at the remaining one and a half ducks, Jiang Changhai said, "Wife, let’s take this remaining big half of the roasted duck back to your mother’s, it’s just the right time to go back now; they’ll just be having their dinner."
It wouldn’t get completely dark until about seven or eight in the evening in the summer, so the villagers ended their work late, and dinner was around eight or nine.
Naturally, Su Wanyu had no objections, "Sure, Brother Hai, we’ll head back just the two of us in a moment. Let the girl sleep at home; she’s also been running around all day. We’ll go early and return early."
Given the hot weather and the absence of a refrigerator at home, such a rare delicacy couldn’t be left until the next day.
"Okay, I’ll listen to you," Jiang Changhai was also concerned about his daughter, "Mianmian, bathe and go to bed early today, don’t stay up too late reading."
Jiang Mianmian nodded; she also didn’t want to run back and forth exhausted, "Hmm, I’ll go to bed after taking a bath."
Lying down in the system space to study was the most comfortable.
Jiang Changhai affectionately raised his hand to rub her little head, then discussed with Su Wanyu, "Wife, check what else we should take back. I will go borrow a bicycle from Aunt Li, and we can cycle back later."
Su Wanyu took the large half of the roasted duck, a box of Beijing assorted delicacies, a box of flaky candy, and a jar of pear cream, making up four items in total. When Jiang Changhai returned with the bicycle, she hung these items on both sides of the bicycle handles.
Jiang Changhai rode the bicycle, carrying Su Wanyu towards Stone Bridge Village.
As soon as they entered the village, the villagers who were sauntering on the village paths to cool down greeted them enthusiastically upon seeing them and the luxurious gift boxes hanging on the bicycle handles.
"Changhai, you’ve come back to see your parents again? What good things have you brought this time?"
"Changhai is really filial, never comes back without bringing stuff."
Su Wanyu and Jiang Changhai got off the bicycle at the village entrance. While pushing the bicycle, Jiang Changhai talked with the villagers, "It’s just that Mianmian went to Capital City for a trip a few days ago. These are Capital City specialties that Yu Cheng bought back; I’m bringing them back for my parents."
