The slaughtering of a pig was always the moment children looked forward to most, whether it was Bai Fei or Bai Xiang, they were both particularly excited.
As children, they always liked to peek from behind the door, secretly watching others slaughter pigs, acting brave despite actually being very scared.
On this day, they could gorge themselves on roasted meat seasoned with salt, chili powder, and Sichuan pepper, which made for a delicious barbecue.
There were also various types of fried meats, which weren’t usually available, so many people helped out.
Bai Zhi and Bai Xin were in charge of stir-frying vegetables, while Bai Fei, Wu Wa, and Bai Xiang were responsible for greeting guests.
After a day , everyone was especially happy; at night, the cured meat was hung in the kitchen, and the fire was started.
During the meal, Han Feng arrived and even brought a gift for Bai Zhi, a small rabbit.
It was fluffy and looked very cute. Inside was a note.
"Let’s make up for what you once lost."
Bai Zhi thought that the original owner would probably be happy if she saw this, but as for herself...
She was touched that Han Feng hadn’t forgotten the affection between him and the original owner.
Her feelings were kind of strange; she didn’t know how to express them.
Around ten o’clock, Bai Dan came back and brought a friend, Xiao Qi.
"Xingxing, I would like to invite you to travel with me, what do you think?"
Bai Zhi was stunned; what was happening?
"My girlfriend, Fang Ya, do you remember her? She went back to her hometown and never came back, probably because her parents disapprove. Could you come with me?"
Fang Ya was that older sister from before, and of course, she was willing.
Bai Zhi was certainly willing, and moreover, there was a lot of information in these words. That sister was the only child in her family and from the city, no less—what kind of hometown did she have, and her parents’ disapproval? They weren’t even in a relationship.
"Let’s go right now then."
Xiao Qi spoke in a rush, "It’s not easy to find a bride, please everyone understand."
Xiao Qi looked apologetically at Bai Fei, Bai Xiang, and the others.
"I’m off then, remember not to forget your homework, Great Grandpa will be watching over you."
Lately, Grandpa and Teacher both weren’t around, and Bai Xiang was nearly beside himself with the idea of starting a factory, neglecting his studies.
Now more than ever, she understood the benefits of reading. When you’ve memorized things by heart, they come to mind when you need them.
Bai Xiang was so helpless; Xingxing was becoming more and more like Second Grandpa.
"Ah Zhi, let me come with you."
It was then that Wu Wa stood up, wanting to accompany Ah Zhi.
"Little friend, where we’re going..."
Before Xiao Qi could finish, Bai Zhi had agreed?
"Great, let’s go together. Auntie, could you please ask for a leave for Wu Wa?"
Wu Wa’s Combat Power was the highest among them, and bringing her along would allow her to learn a lot.
Wu Wa would surely have to return home one day, and if she had no defenses against the schemes and intrigues, that wouldn’t do.
Xiao Qi was somewhat helpless; this child didn’t understand the situation—it was hard to find people in the mountains.
"Don’t worry, Brother Xiao Qi, Wu Wa is very capable, let’s go."
Bai Zhi pulled Xiao Qi along, and as the car reached the village entrance, they spotted Han Feng standing there.
In the moment Bai Zhi turned back, her eyes met Han Feng’s.
Han Feng ran to Bai Xin in confusion, asking what was wrong with Bai Zhi.
"Oh, it’s nothing, Xingxing just needed a follow-up check-up, and my dad happened to find a car to take her."
