Zhuang Xingzhou was also amused.

"There's a reason why things are cheap, and there's a reason why things are expensive. I just love eating cheap things. Like the old-fashioned popsicles in Beijing, I love those. They're chewy and refreshing! They also cool you down instantly after eating one!"

Zhuang Zhimeng agreed with this point; she also loved eating Beijing-style popsicles.

Seeing that they had almost finished eating, Zhuang Zhimeng climbed onto the tractor and prepared to return to the village.

An Qingbai and Zhuang Zhimeng got into their seats before starting the tractor.

After Zhuang Xingzhou and Hao Caiyun finished their popsicles, and with the bamboo mats available, it wasn't too hot anymore.

Zhuang Zhimeng suddenly thought of the food problem and looked at her parents.

"Dad, Mom, would you like to eat at the state-run restaurant, or should we eat after we get back to the village?"

Hao Caiyun thought for a moment.

"Yaya, let's go back and make something simple to eat. It's so hot outside, and it'll be even hotter after we eat at the state-run restaurant! Xiao An will suffer driving the tractor too!"

Zhuang Zhimeng was fine with eating anywhere, following her parents' opinions. However, if she ate at a state-run restaurant, it would be very hot on the way back, and she felt sorry for Qingbai, so she decided to cook for herself when she got home.

"Okay, let's go back and eat! Dad, Mom, I'll make you cold noodles, it's perfect for this time of year!"

Zhuang Xingzhou and Hao Caiyun had no objections; they were fine with whatever they ate, they weren't picky.

When the tractor entered the village, Shi Meiling and An Tanxiao were already waiting at the village entrance.

An Qingbai stopped the tractor and let his parents get on as well before he continued driving.

Zhuang Xingzhou and Hao Caiyun were both quite excited to see Shi Meiling and An Tanxiao.

She called them "Big Brother" and "Big Sister".

Shi Meiling and An Tanxiao are also examples.

"Hey bro," the girl replied.

Zhuang Zhimeng watched with a smile, hoping that no one would notice her and let them talk to themselves!

After getting off the tractor, Shi Meiling warmly invited Zhuang Xingzhou and Hao Caiyun to come over for dinner that evening.

Zhuang Xingzhou and Hao Caiyun both agreed before going home with Zhuang Zhimeng.

An Qingbai stepped forward to help carry the luggage to Zhuang Zhimeng's guest room before leaving.
