"Hua Kai, Gu Ling, come in quickly, or Gu Wen will eat them all." Gu Jinzhou called to the two of them as he reached the door.

Hua Kai and Gu Ling also came into the house. Hua Kai ate a small piece, saying that she had eaten a lot at home. Hua Qingyang didn't eat much either. Both children were very polite.

After chatting for a while, Hua Kai told Jiang Fengxian and the others that she and her younger brother would go back in the afternoon, and that her uncles should not delay the autumn harvest and should go to the fields when they needed to. She also said that her parents could come again after a while, and that they would come again when they had a holiday.

Indeed, the autumn harvest is very important, so after talking for a while, Gu Jinzhou and the others went back to work in the fields. They said they would visit Hua Kai's house when they had some free time, as they hadn't been there for two years and wanted to go and see her.

After her uncle and the others left, Hua Kai told Jiang Fengxian about Fan Lianfang.

Jiang Fengxian sighed: "There's nothing I can do about it. Your aunt is good in every way. She didn't mind that your uncle was lame, and she didn't ask for much dowry before marrying into the family. She gave birth to a son and a daughter, and she takes good care of me. What can I say? How can I find fault with her?"

Hua Kai sighed as well. To be honest, it was a difficult matter to discuss. After all, her aunt was a good person, but the "brother-supporting demon" thing was a huge pitfall. The family had no savings, and she gave all her money to her brother. This was not a proper way to live.

Hua Kai said to Jiang Fengxian, "Grandma, I can't say anything about the relationships in your generation, but Gu Ling and Gu Wen can't be affected by Auntie. Gu Wen must go to school, and I will pay for the tuition. I will find a way to bring Gu Ling to the city next year. In the future, these two siblings should make something of themselves. When they earn money, let them save it themselves and not let Auntie handle it."

Listening to Hua Kai's words, Jiang Fengxian still felt a little disbelieving: "Child, I know you're doing this for your maternal grandparents' sake, but you can't let your mother be so considerate of us. Otherwise, wouldn't your mother be just like your aunt? What would your father think then?"

Hua Kai admired Jiang Fengxian's empathy. She smiled and said, "Grandma, don't worry. These are my thoughts. Helping my younger siblings is also my responsibility. This is a matter between us siblings, so don't worry about it."

Jiang Fengxian laughed when she heard this: "I never would have imagined that Hua Kai, who used to be the most taciturn, would be so capable of handling things now."

"Grandma, I've grown up, and I'll take good care of you from now on." Hua Kai didn't want to make things too heavy, because she was leaving soon.

As for whether those things would be given to her brother by her aunt, Hua Kai didn't care anymore. She knew that her aunt was so good to her uncle and maternal grandmother, so these things were nothing. She just needed to help her younger brother and sister with important matters and directions in the future. After all, her cousins ​​were all very good, and her maternal grandmother and uncle were good to her family. She had done what she should have done.

Hearing what Hua Kai said, Jiang Fengxian nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'm really relieved now."

After chatting for a while, it was almost time, so Hua Kai and Hua Qingyang went to the station to wait for the train. Since the station was not close, they were afraid of not being able to keep track of the time, so it was better to go early.

The siblings didn't let Jiang Fengxian see them off at the station. The station was so far away; it would be a long walk for the old lady to walk back herself.

Jiang Fengxian didn't have much to bring for the two children. Both sides were rural areas, and what Huakai's family had, they also had. Besides, the two children came and went so quickly that she didn't prepare anything. She just packed some sugar cakes, some jujubes, and some wild pears for them, and filled a small half-bag with all sorts of random things.

Jiang Fengxian escorted them to the village entrance and only went home after the children had disappeared from sight.

Hua Kai and Hua Qingyang waited for more than twenty minutes before the car arrived. After they got in the car, they heard someone calling their names as soon as it drove away.

Hua Kai quickly begged the driver to stop and wait for her.

The driver was understanding; if she was chasing after the car like that, he figured it might be something important, so he stopped the car and let her get out to check.

Hua Kai got out of the car and saw a woman in her thirties who looked a bit like her mother chasing after the car.

At this moment, Hua Qingyang called out from behind, "It's Auntie."

Hua Kai ran towards Gu Lanying and asked, "Auntie, what brings you here?"

Gu Lanying rolled up her trouser legs, which were covered in mud, and was sweating profusely. She handed a small cloth bag to Hua Kai and said, "Don't make the car wait for you, get in quickly."

Hua Kai looked at Gu Lanying and knew why she had rushed over in such a hurry. That indescribable feeling made her tears flow instantly.

She didn't know how to express her feelings at that moment, so she hugged Gu Lanying tightly: "Auntie, don't worry, we're doing great. I'll come see you again in a while. The car is about to leave, my brother and I are going back now."

Gu Lanying wiped away Hua Kai's tears: "Get in the car quickly." Then she said to Hua Qingyang, "Listen to your sister on the way."

Hua Qingyang nodded in agreement: "Understood, Auntie."

Hua Kai pulled her younger brother along, grabbed the small cloth bag, and ran onto the bus. After the bus drove away, the two siblings sat in the last row, knelt on the seats, and looked at Gu Lanying through the long rear window until she was out of sight, before turning around and sitting down.

For some reason, Hua Kai's tears wouldn't stop. She didn't know this aunt well, and this was even the first time they had met, but she just couldn't explain the feeling.

She touched the cloth bag, and the more she touched it, the warmer it felt, almost burning her hand. She quickly opened a corner, and inside were sesame cakes.

When Hua Qingyang saw that it was a sesame cake, his eyes reddened again: "Auntie knows that my sister loves to eat sesame brown sugar cakes. This must have been freshly made by Auntie."

Hua Kai touched the pancake, feeling another wave of sadness, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

Hua Qingyang didn't dare to speak, afraid that if he did, his sister would cry even harder.

The siblings didn't say anything along the way. Hua Kai kept looking out the window, holding the sesame brown sugar cake that her aunt had given her. She was thinking not only of her aunt, but also of the original owner of the body. The things the original owner liked to eat were all heartbreaking. She just liked to eat something sweet. Her diary also mentioned that she would occasionally eat a piece of candy to bring a little sweetness to her otherwise bitter life.

Those who remember what she likes to eat are the ones who truly care about her, whether it's her maternal grandmother or her aunt, they really have her in their hearts.

Along the way, she thought a lot, including about her past life, where she worked desperately to earn money and prove herself. It wasn't just about having a good life in the future; perhaps she also wanted to prove herself to others.

With many scenes from her past and present lives intersecting, Hua Kai now has a clearer understanding of reality and is determined to live this life well and be worthy of those who love her.

When I got home, the sun was already setting. No one was home; everyone had gone to the fields to harvest corn.

Hua Kai ate a sesame and brown sugar cake. It might not have been the most delicious, but it was the most unforgettable.
