When the group returned to the village, the villagers greeted Su He warmly, and Su He responded to each of them.

When she arrived home, her family was overjoyed to see her.

Her third uncle couldn't wait to tell her, "Heya, your third aunt gave birth! You have another cousin now!"

Su He was also pleasantly surprised to hear this, "You gave birth? When did you give birth? That's wonderful, you have another little sister now."

She took out the tiger-head shoes from her bag, saying, "These are for my cousin. I'm going to visit my aunt."

Uncle San was overjoyed to hear this, and Old Madam Su let her have her way.

My aunt was in postpartum confinement, so the room was very hot. As soon as I entered, I felt a wave of heat hitting me.

Auntie San was lying in bed at the moment. When she saw her come in, she quickly sat up. "Heya is back! That's great! You haven't seen Maizi yet, have you? Take a look. Doesn't she look like you?"

Su He raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, "...Wheat?"

"Yes, we named her Su Mai. Isn't it a nice name? It sounds just like your sister!"

Su He's lips twitched upon hearing this. What was going on? According to the naming pattern of her third uncle's children, shouldn't this one be named Su Xi? Why was it named after her family?

However, she didn't ask any more questions at the moment, but smiled and said, "It's a very nice name!"

As she spoke, she looked at her cousin, who was wrapped up in a blanket. The newborn baby was tiny and looked so small that it was impossible to tell what she looked like.

Seeing this, her aunt kept trying to get her to hug her, but Su He didn't dare to touch her.

"Let's forget it. I'm strong, and I'm afraid I'll hurt her. Let's wait until she's a bit older."

Auntie was somewhat disappointed.

Seeing this, Su He quickly took out the tiger-head shoes.

When Auntie saw the beautiful tiger-head shoes, she knew that her mother had put in a lot of effort, and she finally cheered up.

Su He didn't stay there long and came out after a short while.

After returning to the main room, they laid out all the other things they had brought back.

Grandma Su carefully put away the candies and pork to eat during the New Year, while the apples were opened and given to everyone.

Hearing that it was given out by their company, everyone was incredibly envious and couldn't wait to start eating.

When Su He brought out another pair of bright red pillowcases for her eldest cousin, the family members were so envious that they wished they could have them for themselves.

My older cousin was flattered and accepted it, saying with some excitement, "Thank you, Heya!"

Su He smiled and said, "No need to thank me. We're siblings, there's no need to be so polite. Have you forgotten how you used to wade across the river every day to take me to school?"

The way out of the village requires crossing a river. The original bridge in the village was bombed by the Japanese during the War of Resistance against Japan and has never been repaired. As a result, the only way to cross the bridge now is by using a few stones.

It's fine when the river isn't flooded, but when the river rises in the summer, the water will overflow the rocks.

Su He was in junior high school at the time and needed to go to town. Since she didn't live on campus, she had to cross the river every day. Grandma Su was worried that she would get her shoes wet and didn't feel comfortable letting her go to and from school by herself, so she asked her older cousin to pick her up and drop her off every day.

He took care of her like that for two years, and carried her across the river on his back for two years when the water level rose.

Therefore, their relationship is closer than that of their other siblings.

Hearing her say that, her older cousin didn't say anything and accepted it with a smile.

My aunt was also very happy to see her. Sure enough, this niece is someone who remembers kindness. It seems I should treat her even better in the future.

Sure enough, my family has already benefited from my work after only a short time.

Su's mother was somewhat envious, but she didn't say anything. She thought that since Su He treated her cousin so well, her younger brother's wedding would certainly be no worse.
