Zeng Wenjuan looked directly at Chen Yitang, she also steadied her heartbeat, and said in a deep voice: "Dr. Chen, I still need some time to accept this matter, please give me some time."

"Okay, okay... I've been looking for you for so many years, so a little longer won't hurt. It was all my fault back then... Can I go see you tomorrow? I just want to know if you had a good childhood?" Chen Yintang made a request.

Zeng Wenjuan saw in Chen Yitang the love of a father for his child. She nodded blankly and agreed: "Okay, if you come to see me today, you should know where my home is. Come tomorrow! Then ask Jianguo where he lives and someone will tell you."

"Okay... okay, where are you going now? Or I'll buy something for the kids to eat." Chen Yintang looked at Zeng Wenjuan and Goudan with eyes full of heartache.

When Chen Yitang knew that Zeng Wenjuan was his daughter, he felt very sorry for Zeng Wenjuan and Goudan. How much suffering they had gone through! They became so thin and weak, like a little chicken. Secondly, his daughter was so small when she left. When he found her, the child was the same age as she was at that time. As an old father, he felt a little melancholy.

Zeng Wenjuan shook her head: "No need, I will buy whatever Goudan wants to eat. You can go back and have a rest!"

Chen Yitang felt a little uncomfortable, but he became excited again after hearing the second half of the sentence. His daughter was still as sensible and well-behaved as when she was little, and she still cared about him. He smiled naively and said, "Okay, I'll come to see you tomorrow."

Zeng Wenjuan looked at Chen Yitang with a scruffy beard and wrinkled clothes, and nodded with a silly smile: "Okay, change your clothes and come back tomorrow!" She was afraid that people would misunderstand that he was here to seek revenge.

After Zeng Wenjuan left, Chen Yitang looked at Lin Baixiang in a daze and asked, "What did my daughter mean by what she said just now?"

Lin Baixiang did not say anything. He silently took out a mirror and placed it in front of Chen Yitang. At this time, silence was better than words.

"Ah..." Chen Yitang shouted in shock while holding the mirror, shaking Lin Baixiang's shoulders with the mirror. He felt extremely uncomfortable: "Is this how I recognized my daughter just now? Why didn't you tell me?"

"What should I do? What should I do?" Chen Yintang paced back and forth, scratching his head. He couldn't catch Zeng Wenjuan back now and deleted all the memories.

Lin Baixiang didn't care and said calmly: "Even if you are like this now, the little girl still doesn't dislike you! Why are you embarrassed? You should be happy! Only a biological child would not dislike her old father, right!"

"Hehe...what you said makes some sense. I'll go and sort it out now. I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things later and take them to see my daughter and grandson tomorrow. My grandson is so cute. He looks like he was when my daughter was a child." Chen Yintang left happily.

Lin Baixiang looked at Chen Yitang's proud back, curled his lips in silence, and thought, you didn't say that before! If I hadn't reminded you, you would have missed it.

…

…

Zeng Wenjuan, Zhao Hongtiao and others came to the supply and marketing cooperative, but after arriving at the cooperative, Zhao Hongtiao was shocked. Do you need a ticket to buy things?

Since she was born, the farthest place Zhao Hongtiao had ever been to was climbing from one hill to another to do farm work. This was her first time going into the city, and she was a little hesitant.

"Just look at what you want to buy. I have tickets on me, so I'll charge you less when the time comes." Zeng Wenjuan noticed Zhao Hongtiao's embarrassment and whispered in her ear.

"Thank you, Wenjuan." Zhao Hongtiao expressed her gratitude sincerely. If it weren't for Zeng Wenjuan, she probably wouldn't be able to enter the city in her life. It was not just a matter of two cents for the bus fare.

Rather, "A frog in a well cannot talk about the sea, because it is confined to the void." This is from "Zhuangzi Qiu Shui", which means that you cannot talk to a frog in a well about the sea because it is limited by the environment it lives in. It expresses that if a person is confined to his own small circle, he cannot understand the wider world.

Zeng Wenjuan thought that Goudan had been eating more recently, so she bought 50 kilograms of rice, 30 kilograms of flour, a can of White Rabbit candy, bean biscuits, and fried noodles (I can't say that in Mandarin).

After asking Zeng Wenjuan if she had any cloth coupons, Zhao Hongtiao bought some cloth and prepared to make new clothes for her sisters. The cloth was green and black, but for the children, no matter what the clothes were, they would be happy.

"It's still early now, let's go back! Eating out is not clean after all, let's go back and eat. Home-cooked food is delicious and comfortable to eat at home." Zhao Hongtiao still found it difficult to accept that tickets were required for going anywhere, not to mention that prices in the county town were high, so every bit of money saved was a bit saved.

Zeng Wenjuan saw Zhao Hongtiao's serious look and agreed via email: "Okay, I'll treat you all to dinner at my home today. I'll go buy some meat now and make some pickled cabbage and meat later. It's delicious and goes well with rice."

Zhao Hongtiao wanted to refuse, but seeing Zeng Wenjuan's determined eyes, she didn't say no. She could just return the offer later.

After buying the pork belly, the group returned to the village by car. As soon as they got back to the village, they saw a group of old men and women chatting under a tree.

"Uncle and lady are chatting here! Ask everyone to come over to our house later!" Zeng Wenjuan said to them.

After hearing this, the uncles and aunties also knew what it meant. They were being asked to go collect their money! One of the aunties smiled and said, "Okay, Wenjuan, you haven't eaten yet! We'll wait until you finish eating before we go over."

Of course they wanted to go now, but it was so dangerous for people to go to the county town to sell medicinal herbs for money, so they couldn't afford to waste time, so they let Zeng Wenjuan have dinner before going!

"Thank you, aunties and uncles. I'll go home first." Zeng Wenjuan said with a smile on her face.

When they got home, Zhao Hongtiao asked, "Wenjuan, is there anything I can do for you? Do you have any pickled vegetables at home? If not, I'll go home and get some."

"Yes, I borrowed some from the village head auntie before, and there is still some left. It can be used to make pickled cabbage and meat." Zeng Wenjuan shook her head, then looked at Zhao Hongtiao and said, "Do you have any green vegetables at home? I'll go pick some."

"I'll be fine. My vegetable garden is closer to you. I'll be back soon." Zhao Hongtiao said with a smile, and then said to her eldest sister, "Honghua, remember to help your sister Wenjuan. I'll be back after picking the vegetables. And you guys should keep an eye on my brothers and sisters."
