Two-year-old Hao Hao learned for the first time that he actually had a mother, meaning his friends wouldn't refuse to play with him anymore just because he didn't have one! So he toddled after Qiao Zhen with his short legs, calling out in his childish voice, "Mama! Mama!"

Despite the noisy environment, Qiao Zhen still managed to pick up the little baby's voice. Looking down, she saw the chubby little thing lying on the ground, about to cry but afraid to. Qiao Zhen looked up slightly and saw Mrs. Ge's departing figure. She ran over and helped the little baby up, asking, "What's your name?"

"Haohao".

Qiao Zhen picked up Hao Hao and said in a soft voice, "Would Hao Hao like to go home with Daddy and Mommy?"

Hao Hao asked expectantly, "Do Daddy and Mommy have any ponies at home?"

Qiao Zhen looked at Hao Hao's expectant yet shy expression with a mixture of amusement and exasperation. "Of course! And you're a very obedient little pony. Daddy will also play lift-up with you!"

"Oh—" Hao Hao exclaimed in surprise.

Qiao Zhen carried Hao Hao back, but Pan Zhao was too heavy to carry him.

Hao Hao didn't cause Qiao Zhen much trouble because Chu Chu was taking care of him.

Chuchu, an old horse still eager to run: [Please, leave this old man alone! All this climbing up and down is killing me!]

Qiao Zhen and Pan Zhao discussed bringing Wu's parents from Luojin Town over, so they went back to Luojin Town.

When Wu's parents learned that Pan Zhao had joined the army, their daughter had also been taken away by someone from an unknown place. So they sold everything they owned to search for her. Over the years, they had been cheated a lot, and now they were old and stooped.

It's also Qiao Zhen's fault for getting a little cocky when she was doing the mission, but thankfully it's not too late to mend things.

The best is yet to come; don't let the past hold you back.
