On the way back, although there was no longer a basket of peaches, there were several village wives who hitched a ride. However, the best seat on the car still belonged to Old Man Xia. Xia Zhi and Xiao Hei also followed along to bask in the glory.

  Everyone was chatting and laughing, but Old Man Xia didn't ask Xia Zhi or Xiao Hei anything in front of everyone. On the other hand, Old Man Liu and his wife were very curious about Li Xia.

  "The young man is really handsome! He just doesn't look like a farmer!" Xia Laoliu's wife deliberately asked Xia Laoye, "Grandpa, who is that relative of yours?"

  Old Xia didn't understand what was going on: "Who are you talking about?"

  "Wasn't that young man who just sent your uncle and niece back a relative of yours, old man?" asked Xia Laoliu's wife again.

  Xia Lao Ye Zi just looked at Xia Zhi and Xiao Hei Yu Er.

  "Sixth Aunt, didn't I just tell you that they're not our relatives? They have a kind heart and saw that Uncle and I were carrying a lot of things, so they sent them over to us." Xia Zhi said it very simply. She had already figured out that Xia Liu's wife was a particularly gossipy woman.

  Li Xia brought them over just now, and Old Sixth Summer and his wife were quite curious. Because Li Xia didn't look like a villager, Old Sixth Summer was too embarrassed to talk to him, and when Old Sixth Summer's wife tried to probe with a sentence, she couldn't find out anything either. Now the gossip fire in her belly is hard to extinguish, so she deliberately asks this question in front of Old Master Summer.

  If Old Man Xia knew something, that would be best. If he didn't know, he'd open his mouth and ask, and Xia Zhi and Xiao Hei would definitely tell him.

  It's not that I have any ill intentions, it's just gossip. Xia Zhi doesn't want to give her more material to talk about, so he doesn't want to say more.

  "It's Li Xia, he's a good person." Little Black Fish also said.

  Old man Xia smiled and nodded, and didn't ask any more questions. He was a kind-hearted person himself, and such things were not unusual in his eyes. The villagers were simple and honest, they wouldn't say "respect my elders as well as others' elders" or "care for my young as well as others' young", when they encountered someone who needed help, they would lend a hand, especially when it came to the elderly and children. In the countryside, even if neighbors didn't know each other, once they started talking, they might find out they were distant relatives or old friends.

  Xia Lao Liu's wife glanced at Xia Lao Liu: "I thought it was the big brother of the eldest sister's family."

  "I knew it wasn't." Xia Lao Liu laughed. The couple looked at Li Xia's dignified attire, not a villager, and treated Xia Zhi and Xiao Hei Yu so well, they thought he was the son of Summer Big Sister from the prefecture city. "Guo Jia Da Ge came over during Chinese New Year. I saw him, they don't look alike."

  Old Man Xia heard that his great-grandnephew had arrived, and he smiled happily. "Changsheng has grown a lot in the past two years, and his appearance has changed too. People who saw him when he was younger say they can hardly recognize him now." At fourteen or fifteen, a boy is at the critical period of rapid growth, and his features are gradually taking on those of an adult, so it's no wonder that he looks quite different from when he was a child.

  "Changsheng brothers are really good, just like my elder aunt. My elder aunt is living a good life now." Xia Laoliu said with a tone of envy.

  "It's just an ordinary day." Old Master Xia said humbly.

  "My elder aunt and uncle are both capable and know how to live their lives." said Xia Laoliu's wife.

  Several fellow female passengers knew Xia Jia's eldest aunt and chimed in. They all said that Xia Jia's eldest aunt was originally very capable and efficient when she was at her natal home, and also said that she had good luck, married well, and lived a rich and comfortable life.

  "My elder aunt was also a top-notch person in the village at first."

  Xia's eldest sister-in-law was very good-looking and was a famous beauty in the village back then. After talking about Xia's eldest sister-in-law for a while, they asked Old Man Xia again: "Will my eldest sister-in-law come back for the Dragon Boat Festival?"

  Xia Jia's elder sister-in-law lives in the provincial capital and returns to her maternal home every year during festivals to visit relatives.

  Old Xia just chuckled: "No news yet. They're busy too, it's not easy to come back once."

  "My eldest aunt will definitely come back." Xia Lao Liu cracked his whip and said loudly.

  Old Xia just smiled and said nothing.

  The little black fish had been playing for most of the day and was still quite excited when he sat in the car. However, he was still a child after all, and soon fell asleep halfway through the journey. Old Master Xia believed in strict parenting, especially when they were outside, but when his youngest son leaned over to him, he calmly pulled him into his arms.

  The little black fish slept soundly, but as soon as the horse carriage entered the village, he woke up and started jumping around again.

  It was already late afternoon, and wisps of smoke were rising from the village. The horse carriage arrived at the back gate of the Xia family's courtyard, where Old Lady Xia sat on the stone threshold, gazing out, having waited for who knows how long.

  Xiaqiao and Xiaoshu'er also heard the sound and rushed over. Everyone took out what they had bought and headed towards the back house. Seeing a table full of things, Old Lady Xia was taken aback. She looked at Old Man Xia, then at Xiao Heiyu and Xia Zhi.

  "It was all bought by the two kids." Old Man Xia hastily clarified, his backpack was flat. Today he didn't even visit the temple fair or go to the market, but instead drank tea and chatted with a group of old brothers. The only things he had were a packet of vegetable seeds and a piece of meat, which he remembered to buy when he got on the bus back from the market because Old Lady Xia had reminded him.

  "What's all this..." Old Lady Xia pointed at the things on the kang.

  "They were all sixteen and I bought them." Little Black Fish proudly puffed out his small chest.

  "We've got all the money from selling cherries and flowers right here!" Xia Zhi busied herself unpacking, explaining the distribution to everyone one by one.

  Old Lady Xia stroked the few pieces of cloth that Xia Zhi handed over to her, feeling both delighted and uneasy. She pushed Xia Zhi away, saying "You're only 16 years old! You've finally earned some money, you should use it to buy something for your uncle instead. Your grandfather and I don't lack anything, just the thought of you wanting to give us something is enough!"

  "Grandma, you have to take it, this is how we show our respect for you." Xia Zhi smiled and also brought Da Qiao and Xiao Shu along, making Grandma Xia accept her gifts. "These are nothing. In the future when I have money, I'll buy better ones for you."

  Old Lady Xia's eyes narrowed into a slit as she smiled, and it wasn't until Old Man Xia said something beside her that she put the things away. Because Xia Zhi didn't hide from her, telling her the purpose of the remaining pieces of cloth, she even took the initiative to help Xia Zhi make clothes and shoes.

  "I don't have much to do every day either, you and your uncle love learning, love playing."

  Xia Zhi thought for a moment, then nodded: "Nai, help me make a handkerchief, I want to embroider flowers on it. We'll do the shoes together." As for the small dress, she planned to do it with Sun Lan'er.

  Old Lady Xia knew that half of the fine fabrics were for Sun Laner, and she thought Xia Zhi's arrangement was very good, not only understanding human feelings but also being generous to people.

  Xia Zhi also divided up the other things he had bought back, giving Xia Shu a large portion of the sweets and snacks. The two roasted chickens were given to Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia. However, Old Man Xia only accepted one.

  "Let your mother cook two dishes for you, and then you can eat here."
