Just as he was getting ready to head back home, Zhao Tianhe blocked his way.
"Third Brother, sister-in-law..."
How long had they been there?
"Have you just arrived?"
Fang Chaoyang, Cao Dali, and Zhao Tianhe had all come to town.
Before any of them could speak, a familiar voice chimed in, "Brother Wang, I want candied hawthorns, the sour kind."
"Cuihua, I’ll go buy them now. You just wait here for me, don’t push into the crowd, wait for me."
As soon as those words were spoken, Cao Dali turned around immediately, and when he saw a familiar person, his pupils shrank. It was her, it was her.
And Li Cuixia, watching her man go to buy food, when she saw Cao Dali, the smile on her face suddenly stiffened.
She hadn’t expected to run into Cao Dali in town.
She knew they would meet, just didn’t think it would be so soon.
She subconsciously shifted her gaze away.
"Da Li, let’s go over there and take a look," Zhao Tianhe said, putting his arm around Cao Dali and starting to move forward.
Yun Xiaoxiao and the others gave Li Cuixia a glance and left the place.
"Da Li, today I’ll treat you to a shaved ice dessert..."
The matter with Li Cuixia was in the past, and she seemed to be doing well now, not a single patch on her new padded jacket.
It seemed that man treated her quite well.
"You go ahead and stroll around, we should head back." It’s getting late, time to go back, in case Da Bao and Xiao Bao are looking for them.
It’s definitely not because of the many people in town watching his wife.
Right, it’s not because of that.
Yun Xiaoxiao brought back plenty of treats for Da Bao and Xiao Bao, and also bought a portion for them. There were so many things that the two little ones couldn’t finish them all, so Mrs. Zhao joined in eating as well. Captain Zhao had gone out to visit for New Year’s greetings, chatting with the older generation, and hadn’t come back yet at this hour.
The second day of the New Year was the day for visiting one’s maternal home.
Ever since the last discussion about splitting the family, Mother Yun had been thinking about giving the job to her youngest daughter, wanting her to come back and not stay in the countryside forever.
Father Yun agreed too; his salary was completely sufficient to support two people.
Today was the day Eldest Sister Yun returned to her maternal home.
"Mom, I heard that big brother and the youngest brother have split the family?" Eldest Sister Yun came into the kitchen to help after setting down her things.
"They are both married with children now, they can’t stay undivided forever."
Eldest Sister Yun remembered another matter that her sister-in-law mentioned.
"Mom, are you planning to have little sister come back?"
Eldest Sister Yun was a few years older than the female supporting character Yun Xiaoxiao and had essentially raised the two younger ones since they were small.
"Yes, the plan is to have them return. We can’t let your little sister stay in the countryside forever, especially your two nephews who are very smart. The countryside education is different from what we have in the city."
Just as she suspected.
Especially since the parents had left eight hundred yuan for the little sister; when she got married, they had only given her a bit over a hundred.
Why was so much given to the little sister?
"How do you know about this? Did your sister-in-law tell you?" Mother Yun instantly realized that Laoer’s wife was probably busy working and things were just cordial, at most just greetings when meeting.
So how did Eldest Daughter come to know? That day of the family split, there were only a few of them there.
After ruling out themselves, and ruling out Laoer and his wife, who was the most likely to spill the beans? Of course, it was Eldest Brother’s wife.
"Eldest sister-in-law told me."
Mother Yun looked intently at her eldest daughter, "Did your eldest sister-in-law also tell you that when your little sister went to the countryside, it was her who went to sign Xiaoxiao up for the rural assignment?"
These words immediately shocked Eldest Sister Yun.
