"Mom and Dad, Big Brother has to return for work; since you’ve rarely co here, why not stay a few more days and enjoy yourselves? Uncle Wenqing and the others can manage the ho affairs. Let’s just stay here at ease," Xiaofeng certainly understood her elders’ desire to return ho.
Their lives had always been facing the earth and toiling the fields, so unexpectedly comfortable living made them uncomfortable. Just a little distance from their small plot of land would make them feel uneasy.
"Xiaofeng, maybe your father and I should just go back with your Big Brother," He Xii said sowhat embarrassedly, feeling awkward about declining such hospitality to leave.
"Dad, Mom, stay here for a couple of days, I’ll accompany you for so good fun. Let Big Brother handle his business, and you enjoy yours," Xiaofeng urged.
"Right, my sister is correct. Just have fun here. I have things to do when I return, but you should enjoy another couple of days here. Coming to the Imperial Capital, you really should stay for a few days, shouldn’t you?" Su Peng said to He Xii’s couple with a smile.
He Xii looked at Acheng.
The decision rested on him.
Acheng nodded, "Alright, but we must go back the day after tomorrow at the latest. There’s too much work at ho, and it wouldn’t feel right to linger too long."
"Okay, one more day of fun then. We’ll leave the day after tomorrow, and I won’t stop you," Xiaofeng said with a laugh, hearing Acheng’s words.
How should one put it? The original host’s father was actually an ordinary man who didn’t express himself well. His love for the original host was not outwardly shown.
In his heart, he really loved the original host.
Well, that was good, for when the original host returned one day, she and her father could really reunite.
After saying a few words to Xiaofeng, Su Peng left for the airport.
"Xiaofeng, when I ca here, the folks in our village said that you are so lucky; even with a pair of children in tow, you could marry into a wealthy family in the Imperial Capital. I told them your children are indeed Acheng’s biological kids, but they still didn’t believe ," He Xii naturally brought up this village gossip.
Now, everyone in the village envied Xiaofeng. A girl born in the countryside not only ca from a good family but now was married into such an excellent household. It had to be jealousy if they said otherwise.
Hearing He Xii’s words, Xiaofeng’s smile reached her eyes, "Mom, whether they believe it or not doesn’t make any difference. I’ll go buy sothing for the villagers in a bit, and you can distribute it when you go back."
"Right, the villagers are all waiting for you to bring back so wedding candy to share the joy," Imperial Capital’s sweets would definitely be a hit.
No sooner said than done, Xiaofeng took her parents to the large supermarket that she and Uncle Yusan co-owned, and they bought quite a lot to take back.
Cooperating with Uncle Yusan was the least stressful task; she just had to co up with ideas. As long as he deed them feasible, his efficiency would astonish you.
Like this big supermarket, she simply supplied the design drawings and a model for the shelf arrangents; the rest she hadn’t been much involved in—it was all Uncle Yusan arranging things single-handedly.
Therefore, she often felt like she was getting the better end of the deal.
With big and small packages, they bought a lot, and He Xii, seeing so many purchases, began to feel a bit distressed again, "Isn’t this too much? Just one type per family should suffice."
"Mom, it’s not often you co here; taking more back gives you more face, doesn’t it?"
"That’s true."
Exiting the supermarket, He Xii, not being careful, accidentally stepped on an old lady’s foot. Before He Xii could apologize, the other party was already lying on the ground.
He Xii was shocked—she swore she hadn’t touched the lady’s body, only accidentally stepped on her foot.
How did the old lady end up on the ground?
"Soone got bumped! Everybody co see, soone got bumped!" The old lady lay there moaning, "Ow, my back, I can’t even straighten up. I don’t know if it’s been injured."
"Ma’am, I didn’t even touch you at all; you, you...." He Xii admitted to seeing more shaless people than the old lady back in her rural life.
But this wasn’t the countryside, this was the Imperial Capital, a big city. Moreover, it happened outside her own supermarket, and the situation left her quite at a loss for a mont.
"What do you an you didn’t touch ? You clearly did. You should look at how sturdy you are. With those big arms and wide hips of yours, a single touch and I would definitely be lying here, unable to get up," the old lady said with a cold huff.
As more onlookers gathered, they listened to the old lady’s words and then looked at He Xii’s figure, which indeed was not slim.
