Li Xiyue said to everyone, "Come and get your things."

The group came over and hurriedly unloaded the food from the car.

Xie Mingying's lips twitched. "We're bringing all this stuff up the Great Wall?"

"Anyway, it's not like it's just the two of us taking it." Li Xiyue pointed to several tall, burly men. "With strong laborers around, what's there to be afraid of?"

Xie Mingying glanced at her, then turned to Liao Qingshan, "Grandpa Liao, let me help you."

"No need, no need for help," Liao Qingshan waved his hand. "Don't underestimate me just because I'm old. I'm stronger than you young people."

“My grandfather is very capable, so don’t worry about him.” Li Xiyue pulled Xie Mingying, “Come on, let’s have a race and see who climbs up first.”

Xie Mingying immediately perked up, "What happens to the loser?"

"How about treating us to dinner?" Li Xiyue asked as she walked.

Xie Mingying agreed, "Okay, whoever loses has to treat us to roast duck tonight."

"no problem."

Everyone agreed.

Two hours later, Xie Mingying surrendered, "I can't take it anymore, let's call it a day."

"Let's climb a little higher, the scenery gets better the higher we go," Li Xiyue said.

Xie Mingying waved her hand, sat down on the ground, and refused to get up, saying, "I can't climb anymore. It's more tiring than military training."

Li Xiyue asked with a smile, "So you admit defeat?"

"I give up, I'll treat, okay?" Xie Mingying was truly impressed by her. "Brother Xun is so poor, he can't even afford a meal, why are you working so hard to save him money?"

Li Xiyue sat down laughing, "Stop talking nonsense, it's clearly you who's useless."

“Yes, it’s because you’re useless,” Chu Xun also said.

Quan Yicheng adjusted his glasses, panting, "Sister-in-law, don't bully my wife all by herself."

"You're no good either," Chu Xun said, rolling his eyes at him.

Quan Yicheng raised his hand, "I admit that my wife and I can't compare to you. We're all family, so please be kind with your words."

He sat down next to Xie Mingying and took a handkerchief to wipe her sweat.

Seeing that Liao Qingshan was also a little out of breath, Li Xiyue helped him sit down and handed him some water.

Ye Tian and Xu Xiangyang, however, remained unfazed. Li Xiyue joked, "I know Comrade Xiangyang is capable, but I didn't expect our third brother to be so amazing?"

“I come here to climb all the time,” Ye Tian said with a smile.

Li Xiyue said "Oh," and asked Liao Qingshan, "Grandpa, how is it?"

Liao Qingshan boasted, "It's alright."

Seeing that he couldn't climb any further, Li Xiyue said, "Then let's have a picnic here." With that, she got up and went to get some food.

Xu Xiangyang followed, and Li Xiyue asked with a smile, "Have you seen Yongmei recently?"

Before returning to the city, she received a letter from He Yongmei, saying that she had expressed her feelings again, and this time Xu Xiangyang did not refuse, so it seemed that there was hope.

Xu Xiangyang nodded.

"How is she?" I've been so busy lately that I haven't had a chance to write to her.

Xu Xiangyang said, "It's fine, just a bit busy."

"Yes, doctors are indeed very busy. How long will you be staying in Beijing this time?"

"I don't know yet." Xu Xiangyang helped take out the food and placed it on the mat next to him.

"Before coming to Beijing, I went back to Xujia Village. Everyone is doing well. Sixth Grandpa and Guoqing kept talking about you. Weiwei also asked me to pass on a message that she did not embarrass you."

Grandma Yu, my aunt, Xuemei, and several others miss you very much, as does little Panpan; he cried for days after you left…

Oh, by the way, Huang Zhiqing also asked me to remind you to send her the ointment.

Li Xiyue smiled as she listened, "I miss everyone too."

"Are you doing well here?" Xu Xiangyang asked, looking at her.

Li Xiyue nodded, "It's good, but I really miss my fellow villagers."
