He's incredibly passionate right now; such skill is truly unheard of.

Wu Chenxi wiped her sweat a short distance away; she was really going all out for this apprentice.

She could have walked away slowly, but in order to appease her disciple's family, she had to play the role of a master. It was a pity about her teleportation talisman; she didn't know where her grandfather had tricked her out of it.

She used to hesitate more, but now she wouldn't think that way. This little apprentice is very good at drawing talismans. She remembers that there are a few books on talismans in her grandfather's collection. This time, she can bring them over.

Hua Xiangyun tossed the ten-odd pounds of cured meat in her hand to Hua Zhian, "Let's go, hurry back, maybe we can still make it for lunch."

Hua Zhian followed behind her carrying the things. At the end of the county, no one came out to clear the snow, and the snow here was obviously thicker than in the county town, almost reaching the joints.

What should I do if I suddenly feel envious of Master Wu? Hua Zhian walked along, daydreaming, wishing he had Master Wu's skills...

"Hey, wait a minute?" Just as they were about to leave the county seat, they suddenly heard someone shout.

Hua Xiangyun and Hua Zhian stopped and turned around to look in the direction of the sound.

A spherical human body, wrapped up tightly, struggled to approach them.

"You're going to Heping County, right?" Wenjie loosened the scarf covering his face a little, finally speaking clearly.

"Comrade, is there anything I can help you with?" Hua Zhian asked politely.

"Could you please pass on a message for me? Find someone at the county government office to look for Wenli and ask her to come home." Wenjie finally managed to get someone heading towards the county town, and his voice was somewhat urgent. "That's my daughter. Tell her that Wenjie from the end of the county is looking for her and asks her to come home."

“Okay,” Hua Zhian readily agreed. The county town was so big, and they could get back by just one turn.

"Grandpa Wen doesn't know if they're still at work today. We'll go check for you, but if no one's there, we can't help you." Hua Xiangyun knew that some places were gradually closing for the holidays, so she didn't take on too much responsibility.

Wenjie hunched over and said, "If you can't find the person, please tell the security guard there, and they will pass it on."

Hua Xiangyun nodded. He still remembered this Grandpa Wen; he never used to speak so kindly.

However, she didn't argue with an octogenarian or a woman in her nineties. As she left, she added, "It's too cold outside, you should go back quickly! We'll pass on your message."

The wind grew stronger, the snowflakes fell in greater and greater quantities, and they moved even faster.

"He just told me to go back," Wenli said, looking down at his feet. The snow here had already been cleared once, but he didn't expect to be unable to see the road again so soon.

"Yes, that's what Grandpa Wen said. We've already conveyed his message, so we won't bother you any longer." Hua Xiangyun shook her head. "If there's nothing else, you should still go back and visit him! Every day you spend with an old man is precious, so don't leave with any regrets later."

It would be best to invite all your brothers to spend a reunion year with the elders.

Wenli's face immediately turned cold upon hearing this. "Did he tell you some nonsense again?"

If we don't go back, why doesn't he think about it himself?

Okay, I understand.

Wenli's good mood about having a holiday vanished at this moment. After tidying up the things on the table, he left with his things before Hua Xiangyun and the others had even left.

"He's just not in a good mood, comrades, please forgive him." An older man in the office laughed it off. "It's cold outside too, you should go home as well!"

Hua Xiangyun didn't care. It was a rare opportunity to do a good deed, and she wanted to give the other party a little hint, but she didn't expect the other party to have this kind of attitude.

Hua Zhian didn't think his younger sister was such a reckless person. Thinking of her abilities, he held back and waited until no one was around before hurriedly asking, "Was there something wrong with that comrade just now?"

Hua Xiangyun said, "It's just that it's Chinese New Year, so I mentioned it a few times."

Hua Zhian didn't believe this excuse. "There's no one around. They say Second Brother is very tight-lipped. I'll just secretly tell him a little bit..."

Hua Zhian pinched his fingernails between his fingers. "Even a little hint will do."

Hua Xiangyun said, "Grandpa Wen doesn't have much time left. If his children were around, things would be a little better."

Hua Zhian: "...It seems that Comrade Wen definitely doesn't believe it."

Hua Xiangyun didn't care about that anymore. If she told Zhili the result she had obtained from his face reading, he probably wouldn't even be able to leave the office building.

Wenli left the office but didn't go straight home. Instead, he went to the machine factory next door. "Brother, Dad wants us to go back. Are you going?"

“No way. This is never going to end. We’ve given him food and drink, what more does he want?” Wen Tian said without even looking up.

"What can we do? He knows you work here, so how did he manage to find my way here?"

What kind of mess is this? Now, the whole office thinks I'm incredibly unfilial, and my father has to keep chasing after me to see him.

But that girl was talking strangely just now. I wonder if Dad said something to her. He even said we should all go back and check on her, or we'll regret it later.

"Then let's go back and take a look. You guys are on holiday anyway." Wen Tian said, pulling a bag out from under the table. "These are the benefits we just gave out. Take them back to him."

"You guys aren't going back? Every time you make me go see them, and you make me carry all those bags."

"Look at this weather, I can't ride a bicycle. It's so inconvenient for me to walk there alone in the snow." Wenli's face darkened even more when he saw this tactic again.

"There's really no other way. I'll be busy here until New Year's Eve, and Wenqing isn't here. I can only trouble you a bit more. I'll cook some nice dishes to treat you later."

What else could Wenli do but carry his things home?

"Don't touch this bag, it's from your uncle to your grandfather," Wenli said, sitting at the table, not in the mood to cook.

"With such heavy snow, how are you going to get back? You always go every year. Why don't your uncle and the others go by themselves this time?" Huang Ningyuan put down his book. "I won't go with you this year. The high school entrance exam is coming up soon. If I don't pass, I'll have to go to the countryside."

Wenli was annoyed. "Go away, go away, I won't go then. I'll go by myself then."

My mind just wouldn't settle down. I kept replaying what that comrade had said: if we don't go back and spend more time with them, they'll be the ones who regret it later.

Could there really be something wrong with my health this time?

We've used this excuse before to get the siblings to come back, but what if it's true this time?

The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became. She felt she couldn't sit still at home, so she decided to take her things to her older brother's house again. She was determined that even if she had to go back this time, she wouldn't want to leave next time.
