After her second uncle and Sister Lin Xia left, Zhao Huanhuan and Zhang Jinhua went to wash the dishes.

The mother and daughter chatted in the kitchen for a while about their maternal grandparents' family, and Zhao Huanhuan got a general understanding of everything about them.

Her maternal grandparents' home was in a small village, not far from the original city. Her maternal grandparents had passed away. Zhang Jinhua had four siblings: her eldest uncle was the eldest, Zhang Jinhua was the second eldest, her second uncle was the third eldest, and her aunt was the fourth eldest.

My aunt married and moved to Kyoto, so I don't see her often; she works there.

My eldest uncle lived in the village, tending to the family property, while my second uncle went to school, passed the exam, and was assigned to a water plant.

My maternal uncle's family has three children. Lin Xia is the second oldest. She has an older cousin who also lives in the countryside. He didn't study hard before, but later married a girl from the same village and now lives with his parents.

Lin Xia went to school and studied accounting. Her second uncle arranged for her to work at the water plant, which gave her a formal job.

My maternal uncle's younger cousin is currently in the second grade of elementary school.

My second uncle's family has two children, both still in school. The older one is in junior high school, and the younger one is in elementary school.

My aunt's family has one child, and my family has one child.

Her parents had a younger brother when she was little, but he died of an illness. After that, her parents decided not to have any more children and instead focused on taking good care of Zhao Huanhuan.

Her grandparents have also passed away. Her uncles all have sons and live in the countryside. Zhao Huanhuan is the only girl in the entire Zhao family. Her three uncles love her very much and bring her some fruit and dried fruit every time they come to visit.

The fruit was distributed by the team, and they would send some to Zhao Huanhuan every year when they received their share.

It can be said that both sides have large families, and they get along quite well.

It's not without reason that Zhao Huanhuan was raised to be a pampered girl; many people dote on her.

“Huanhuan, you should have given your second uncle a wink on the train, so she wouldn’t worry about you.”

Zhang Jinhua sighed and said, "You know, your uncles and aunts all like you very much. Do you know what your second uncle told us? He said that last night they followed you from a distance, afraid that you would be kidnapped. They were only relieved and went home when they saw you come back to our house."

Zhao Huanhuan quickly apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't think things through at the time. I'm sorry for letting down my second uncle's concern."

“That’s alright, things are better now that we’ve talked it out. Your dad misunderstood when he heard what your second uncle said. Don’t be angry with your dad. It’s not that he doesn’t trust you, it’s just that you expressed your dissatisfaction with your second uncle when you left home. Your dad thought that you still hated your second uncle after more than a month, which is why he misunderstood.” Zhang Jinhua explained to her husband in front of her daughter.

As soon as she entered the door, Zhao Fugui's expression was not good. She noticed that her daughter and son-in-law had looked at their husband's face several times. They were both smart kids, and they must have realized that their father was angry.

After all, his second younger brother had indeed taken good care of their family over the years.

“I know, Mom. I was just being immature back then. It’s normal for Dad to have the wrong reaction and thoughts. I know Dad loves me. He’s afraid I’ll go down the wrong path and not be liked by the elders.” Zhao Huanhuan smiled.

Zhang Jinhua's eyes reddened, and she nodded in agreement. Her daughter had been in the countryside for over a month and had really grown up, understanding so many profound life lessons.

When the two finished tidying up and came out, they saw Lin Yuan and Zhao Fugui sitting on the sofa chatting quietly.

When they saw the two of them come out after washing up, they both stood up.

"Are you dizzy? Should you get some rest?" Zhao Huanhuan asked Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan nodded and replied with a "Okay".

After sitting for a while, he really did feel a little sleepy.

"Then go wash up!" Zhao Huanhuan said, looking at her father. "Dad, you should rest early too. You sleep in the bed tonight, and I'll sleep on the floor."

"How can that be? Your mom will twist Dad's ear." Zhao Fugui's speech was a little slurred at this point, and he said with a grin to his wife.

Zhang Jinhua glared at her, "What nonsense are you spouting in front of your daughter and son-in-law?"

Lin Yuan had already gone to the restroom to wash up.

After washing up, he came out and walked towards the door.

Zhao Huanhuan followed him out, asking, "Where are you going?"

"The toilet!" Lin Yuan said.

"Then take my dad with you. He's drunk so much, he should go see me before bed." Lin Yuan thought about it and agreed, so she turned around and waited for Zhao Fugui to come out.

Inside, Zhao Fugui thought it made sense, so he stood up and walked towards the door. However, his body and hands were not coordinated, and when he opened the door, his head hit the door frame.

Zhao Huanhuan and Zhang Jinhua were stunned. Had they drunk too much?

"Uncle, are you able to walk out?" Lin Yuan quickly helped him up and asked worriedly.

Although he was a little dizzy, he wasn't drunk. He knew what he was doing and what he was supposed to do.

"I'm not drunk. Come on, your uncle will take you to the restroom." Zhao Fugui saw Lin Yuan, put his arm around Lin Yuan's shoulder, and the two walked out like good brothers.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Huanhuan realized that there might be two too many people, so she quickly turned around, went back to get a flashlight, and followed the two to light their way.

Lin Yuan knew Zhao Huanhuan was with them, and her heart was burning with warmth. She turned around and glanced at her, saying with a smile, "Huanhuan, we can see the road."

Zhao Huanhuan said, "Actually, I was afraid you two would fall into the toilet."

"Oh!" Lin Yuan responded. So, was Huanhuan going to squat to the side and watch her pee?

At this moment, his thoughts were linear and straightforward. Following Zhao Huanhuan's words, he thought that she would be watching him urinate, otherwise he was afraid that he would fall into the toilet.

When they got to the restroom, as Lin Yuan and Zhao's father went inside, Zhao Huanhuan handed Lin Yuan a flashlight, saying, "Keep an eye out for them, so they don't actually fall in."

"Oh, okay!" When Lin Yuan took the flashlight from Zhao Huanhuan, he accidentally touched her hand. His heart skipped a beat, and he gripped the flashlight tightly.

He made sure Zhao Fugui finished relieving himself before he went to do it.

When the two people came out, Zhao Huanhuan took the flashlight and went into the women's restroom without saying a word.

She also needs to queue once.

Actually, she noticed that there was a spittoon at home, but with Lin Yuan as a guest, they were embarrassed to urinate at home at night unless they had drunk too much water and couldn't hold it in any longer. So, they would go to the toilet before going to bed at night.

When the three of them returned home, Zhang Jinhua had already brewed a pot of strong tea. "It's said that this can help with hangovers. You two each have a cup and go to sleep!"

Zhao Fugui and Lin Yuan each drank a cup of strong tea, washed up again, and went back to their respective bedrooms to sleep.

Zhao Huanhuan followed Lin Yuan into her bedroom, intending to make his bed and settle him in before going back to her parents' place to sleep.

Unexpectedly, after entering the bedroom, Lin Yuan turned around and closed the door, then reached out and hugged Zhao Huanhuan.
