Xi Chun had no idea about their teasing behind her back. After returning home, she delivered the fried chicken that she had specially saved for today to the An family next door. An Wuji also returned with his younger sister.

"Miss Chen, what are you doing? We all have food. You should keep this expensive stuff for yourselves," An Wuji said, looking at the bowl of fried chicken with embarrassment.

"It's alright, we're neighbors, of course we should look out for each other. By the way, how's business lately?"

"It's great. With the method you taught us, the pancakes we used to sell seem to have become tastier. We've also made other kinds of pancakes and noodle soup, and business is even better than before."

After he was stabbed by those people, life became much harder for his family. Xichun saw that he was a talented person, so besides snacks, she taught him some methods, which he quickly learned by analogy.

"Then I'll head back now."

"Miss Chen, wait a minute. You've heard about the lantern festival on the Lantern Festival, haven't you?" An Wuji called out to her as she was about to leave.

"I heard about it, what happened?"

"I mean, Miss Chen, you should prepare more food for your stall. I think there will be a lot of people out that day, and business will be good in the evening. I've already talked to Miss Guo, and we'll set up a stall together that day. Business is sure to be good, and we'll make even more money than usual," he said, scratching his head.

“I was just thinking the same thing. I imagine there will be a lot of people buying food that day, so you can definitely do it,” Xichun said with a smile when he heard him mention it.

"Okay, then you go back and get busy. My mom will make the pancakes and I'll bring them to you later, so you don't need to cook."

"Thank you, then we won't be polite."

After Xichun returned home, Aunt Zhang and the others were preparing to cook. Xichun told them about the matter and said that they shouldn't cook tonight. She also mentioned her idea of ​​setting up a night market for the Lantern Festival.

"Xichun, we're going to be very busy on the Lantern Festival, we're sure to make money," Aunt Zhang said happily.

“Yes, I’ve heard that too. Business people can’t live without days like this. With more people, of course they can make more money!” The others chimed in.

"Okay, then we'll prepare more ingredients and give everyone a day off on the 16th so they can go home and visit their families."

"Perfect timing! I was just saying I was going back with Qiangzi on the 16th to propose to the girl's family, so I don't need to ask for leave anymore." Aunt Zhang's mood has improved considerably since Qiangzi's marriage was confirmed.

"Looks like we can have some drinks again. Which family does the girl belong to? What kind of person is she?" Everyone started asking around. Aunt Zhang had only told Xichun and her family about this before; the others didn't know.

After school, Fu Changfeng walked towards Xichun's stall. Seeing Xichun busy at work and several aunties nearby, he hesitated for a long time before coming over.

"Miss Chen, I have something to tell you. Is this a convenient time for you?" Fu Changfeng walked up to Xichun and whispered when he saw that there were no more people at the stall.

"Young Master Fu, please feel free to speak. I have time now." Xi Chun didn't know what he wanted to say, but since he wasn't in a hurry, she could talk to him.

"Can you come over here? Come over and we'll talk." He noticed several pairs of eyes staring at him and hesitated to speak.

"Oh, okay, I'll be right here. Go ahead and say it." Xichun looked at him with a smile.

"Miss Chen, do you have plans for the Lantern Festival? Would you like to join me?" He stammered out his thoughts and then stared intently at Xichun.

"Huh? Fellow traveler? I have to set up a stall that day, so I'm afraid I won't have time. But Young Master Fu, you can come and eat at the stall." Xi Chun didn't understand what he meant.

"Then, never mind, I'll come to your place for dinner on the Lantern Festival." Seeing that she didn't understand his meaning, Fu Changfeng lowered his head and walked away dejectedly.

"Xichun, what did Young Master Fu want with you? Why were you being so mysterious?" Aunt Zhang asked curiously after he left and Xichun came over.

"He didn't say anything, just that Yuanxiao wanted to come over for dinner." Only after saying this did Xichun suddenly remember a poem about Yuanxiao: "The moon rises above the willows, a rendezvous after dusk." Could it be that Young Master Fu likes her and wants to ask her out shopping?

"Oh dear, I didn't realize that just now, but it shouldn't be that bad. Given his family background, I'm afraid his family wouldn't agree to him becoming a live-in son-in-law."

"What do you mean, 'not at all'? Xichun, I don't think you usually talk to yourself like this. What's wrong? Did Young Master Fu say something?" Aunt Zhang asked curiously after hearing her talking to herself.

"No, no, I was just saying this fried chicken shouldn't be too old." Xi Chun had forgotten about it; right now, all she wanted to do was make money, and she hadn't thought about anything else yet.

The Lantern Festival was fast approaching, and everyone here would cook a bowl of glutinous rice balls to eat. Xichun and the others were no exception. However, because they were busy, their glutinous rice balls were delivered by An's mother. Each person tasted a few as a token of her good wishes.

"Brother An, Miss Guo, where are you moving to?" Xi Chun asked curiously as the two pushed their stall past her.

"We're planning to sell things on the street near the lantern festival. If we're too late, we're afraid there won't be any spots left, and you probably won't be able to move over there, right?"

"Yes, we have too much stuff, so we won't move it. You two should go ahead." Xichun shook her head, urging the two to leave quickly.

No one knows when the two of them became so close. Sometimes Guo Xuewei would come to talk to her, and what she talked about was always about setting up a stall with An Wuji.

"Miss Chen, you're setting up a stall here. Would you like to move to the street near the lantern festival? I'll help you move over." Fu Changfeng walked over with his servant Zhu Nian. He was wearing a fine cotton dress today and looked very energetic.

"No need, no need, we have too much food here. Let's just leave it here. Any familiar customer can find this place." Xi Chun saw that he was talking to her as if nothing was wrong, and she felt that she was overthinking it. How could a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy have so many thoughts?

"Then I'll help you out. I don't have anything else to do anyway, so I might as well bring Zhu Nian along for a free meal." Fu Changfeng saw that Xi Chun seemed unaffected, so he wasn't discouraged. He assumed that Xi Chun hadn't figured things out yet, and if she explicitly rejected him, he would stay far away from her.

And so a beautiful misunderstanding arose. That night, whenever Fu Changfeng saw someone coming, he would take the initiative to learn from Taozi and even help collect money, which really helped a lot. Even Xichun felt a little embarrassed.

"Xichun, I don't think there's much to do here. Why don't you young people go check out the lantern festival? We old women can stay here and keep watch. I heard you can even get some rabbit lanterns." Aunt Zhang understood Fu Changfeng's attitude and immediately said.

"Mom, I've been wanting to go see it for ages! Sister Xichun, let's go! Once I see it, I can brag about it to all my friends back in the village." Taozi had been itching to go for a while, and now that he heard this, he couldn't wait to leave.

"Alright, let's go take a look together, Young Master Fu, do you want to come?"

“Let’s go take a look too,” Fu Changfeng said with a grin.
