On the way back, Wang Zhaozhao sat on the front handlebar of the bicycle. She didn't feel the discomfort or the cold wind. Instead, the strong afternoon sun made her feel dizzy.
"I'll walk back to town by myself. You take the bike and take me home another day." As they were about to reach the town, Qiao Li said to Wang Sibing.
They bought a lot of things today and also bought some New Year's goods.
"Then I'll take you to the village entrance, beat you up, and then go back to the riverside village."
How could Wang Sibing let her walk back by herself? He would feel bad, right?
Besides, it’s not acceptable to say that in front of my father-in-law and others.
Qiao Li thought about it and nodded in agreement.
This is better than sending her back and then walking back to Hebian Village.
Then, since we have already sent him to the village entrance, how can we just drop him off and leave? We must send him home and say hello to my future brother-in-law.
If you borrow a car, you have to give something as well.
You have to have this sense of propriety.
"Oh, you're back." As soon as I entered the yard, Qiao Li's sister-in-law came out to splash water.
"Hello, Aunt Qiao." Wang Zhaozhao hurriedly called out.
She called her younger cousins this way.
"Okay, okay, it's cold outside, come inside and warm up." Mrs. Qiao said cheerfully.
Wang Zhaozhao smiled sweetly and followed Wang Sibing and Qiao Li into the house.
There were many people in the room, including Qiao Li and her grandmother, so Wang Zhaozhao naturally sat next to the old lady.
The little hand was held by the old man's rough yet warm hand, and Wang Zhaozhao continued to be well-behaved and lovable.
"You girl, you are pretty, smart, and sweet-mouthed, not bad." The old man had lost all his teeth and spoke a little slowly.
"Thank you, Grandma Qiao." Wang Zhaozhao smiled with her eyes curved.
"Zhao Zhao, the final exam is over. How did you do? Are you confident?" asked Accountant Qiao.
He is the head of the family and an accountant, so this is naturally what he attaches the most importance to.
"It should be okay. Anyway, I have done all the questions and there are no blanks." Wang Zhaozhao was modest.
"Hahaha..." Accountant Qiao laughed heartily. "It seems you are very confident."
Wang Zhaozhao smiled embarrassedly. She thought she was being modest.
"Dad, that's all you say. I haven't even had a sip of water." Qiao Li reminded her father coquettishly.
Accountant Qiao: “……!”
It's true that a girl can't be kept at home when she grows up. She already dislikes her father before she even gets married.
"It's okay, it's okay." Wang Sibing said with a chuckle, "My niece has a good attitude, loves to study, and is thick-skinned."
Well.
Wang Zhaozhao looked at her fourth uncle and felt the same way as Accountant Qiao just did: the uncle is too old to be kept, and he is even willing to sacrifice his eldest niece's face.
Qiao Li hit Wang Sibing and said, "What are you talking about?!"
Wang Zhaozhao quickly said, "Aunt Qiao, it's okay. I'm pretty thick-skinned. I take after my fourth uncle."
One sentence made all the adults laugh.
Wang Sibing was far away, otherwise he would definitely give her a slap in the face.
"Uncle, actually it doesn't matter whether she did well in the exam or not. Her tuition will be waived next semester anyway." Wang Sibing still wanted to brag about this.
Sure enough, one stone can cause a thousand ripples.
As a result, the uncle and nephew had dinner at the Qiao family's house before returning home. For this reason, the Qiao family specially prepared food in advance so that they would not return late and not be able to see the road clearly in the dark.
After coming out of Qiao's house, Wang Zhaozhao sat in the back seat holding a large bag of things.
Finally got to sit in the back seat.
However, the child was not fit to sit sideways, so Qiao Li held her up and had to sit astride.
After riding for a while, the bike stopped again.
Wang Zhaozhao leaned forward and saw that it was her second aunt.
"Don't move and don't get off the car..." Wang Erju came forward.
It was true that Wang Zhaozhao was holding something and it would be troublesome to move it, so the uncle and nephew simply did not move. Wang Zhaozhao only called out crisply, "Second Aunt."
"I heard you were coming, so I came here to wait..." said Wang Erju.
Glancing at the two of them, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I was wondering why you didn't come out after waiting for so long. Did you have dinner at someone's house?"
The uncle and nephew felt a little embarrassed. It was indeed not easy to just eat at someone else's house these days, but it was hard to refuse such a kind invitation.
Wang Erju didn't say much, just stuffed a cloth bag into Wang Zhaozhao's hand.
"Zhao girl, today is your birthday... ten years old, your whole life. I saved these ten eggs specially. Your fourth uncle came the day before yesterday, but I couldn't catch him. It's a good coincidence that I ran into him today, so it's even more appropriate..."
Wang Zhaozhao opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment. He looked blankly at the bag that was stuffed into his mouth, and then at Wang Erju.
"Okay, let's go. It's so far. Don't let it get dark before you get home." Wang Erju took two steps back.
Wang Sibing looked back and stepped on the pedal.
Wang Zhaozhao reacted, "Second Aunt...thank you."
Wang Erju smiled and waved to her.
Wang Zhaozhao also smiled and waved.
Wang Sibing was really worried that he wouldn't be able to get home before dark, so he pedaled his bike very fast and in a blink of an eye he was out of the village and no one was in sight.
…
When we returned to Hebian Village, it was still late.
Their house was not on the side of the road, so Wang Sibing had to carry his bicycle up a small slope, while Wang Zhaozhao carried a large bag of things and ten eggs.
"Zhao girl, were you moved to tears just now?" Wang Sibing suddenly said as they went up the slope.
"...No." Wang Zhaozhao shook his head.
"Yeah?"
"Um."
"All right."
“…”
Wang Zhaozhao didn't say anything. Well, we're home now.
