Cheng Zhi also looked up and asked, "How is it? Is it the same as before?"
Cheng's mother raised an eyebrow and looked at it carefully again. "I can't quite put my finger on it. It feels the same, but it also feels a little different."
After a couple of seconds, Cheng's mother seemed to have figured it out. She lowered her head and said, "The stars haven't changed, it's my mindset that has changed. Of course, what you see at eight years old is different from what you see at forty-eight. I'm getting old."
Hearing her mother say this, Cheng Zhi quickly went over to comfort her, "Oh, Miss Rongqing, you're so beautiful, you can't possibly be forty-eight, you're clearly only eighteen!"
Hearing this, Mom pinched Cheng Zhi's cheek, "You're just as glib as your dad."
The mother and daughter chatted under the starlight, and time passed quickly.
As the sky gradually brightened, the stars faded from view, and a glimmer of light appeared on the distant horizon.
Cheng Zhi stood up, dusted off her pants, and prepared to wake everyone up.
After a quick wash, Mr. Cheng rushed back to the driver's seat, afraid that if he was too slow, the steering wheel would fall into Mr. Huang's hands.
Sure enough, a little while later Huang's father came running over.
He leaned over the car door, trying to pull Cheng's father out of the car. "Brother, you kept watch last night, how can I let you drive? Let me do it."
With one hand gripping the steering wheel and the other the seatbelt, Cheng's father refused to get out of the car. "I'm not tired. I haven't driven in a long time. I miss my beloved car so much. Lao Huang, please grant my wish!"
Hearing the commotion, Liu Liu rushed over and saw the scene. Not knowing whether it was helping its grandfather or itself, Liu Liu thought for a moment, then rushed up and bit Huang's father's trouser leg, trying to pull him back.
Xiao Feiran almost swallowed the toothpaste in her mouth. "Cough cough cough, this is so funny, Liu Liu doesn't want Huang Ba to drive anymore, hahaha..."
In the end, to protect his pants, Huang's father finally let go of Cheng's father's hand and sat down in the back with Liu Liu.
Cheng Zhi sat in the passenger seat looking at the map. Before deciding on their next route, they left the convenience store.
Sitting in the third row, Huang Yiyi was tying Liu Liu's hair with a rubber band.
Looking at those two short little pigtails, Huang Yiyi was very satisfied.
Liu Liu kept trying to hook the rubber band off with its paws, but Huang Yiyi had tied it too high, and it couldn't reach it for a while.
Suddenly, Huang Yiyi remembered Zheng Wan and the others, and casually said, "I wonder where Wan and the others are? Why haven't we run into them yet?"
Xiao Feiran, who was sitting by the window, thought for a moment and said, "We originally started from two different places, at different times, and our routes may not be the same, so it's normal that we don't meet."
Hearing Xiao Feiran say that, Huang Yiyi was a little disappointed. "I've recently learned a lot of new ways to tie hair. If my little sister doesn't come, who am I supposed to tie my hair for..."
Huang's father patted Liu Liu's head and said, "You'll see him eventually, so why are you in such a hurry?"
Around noon, they drove through Taochuan and finally saw a few scattered people on the streets of the city.
They put on masks and, standing two or three meters apart, called out to a thin woman, "Sister! If we drive further west, will we reach Guannan?"
The woman initially backed away warily, but when she realized they were just asking for directions and had no other intentions, she answered as loudly as possible, "Yes, drive down this road, turn left at the sign and go into the tunnel, then walk a little further and you'll reach Guannan."
Huang Yiyi thanked her and drove away.
After walking a short distance, Cheng Ye gave them a thumbs up and said, "You guys are really brave. Aren't you afraid she'll suddenly pounce on you?"
Huang Yiyi took off her mask. "We didn't just grab someone randomly to ask questions. We made the decision after careful observation, okay? That woman took three steps and then rested two steps. Even if I gave her a Snickers bar, she couldn't run up to us, okay?"
Okay, that's true. That woman was so weak that a gust of wind could blow her away.
Mentioning food made Huang Yiyi feel a little hungry. "Shall we get something to eat?"
"Eat up, eat now." After saying that, Cheng Zhi picked up the large bag at her feet. "Do you want bread, pancakes, or steamed buns?"
Huang Yiyi felt choked up listening to this, "Isn't there anything else? It sounds so dry."
"You're lucky to have anything to eat, and you're being picky," said Huang Ma in the back seat. "Eat it or don't, it's up to you. If you don't want to eat, just roll down the window and go drink the northwest wind."
Huang Yiyi: "..." I should have known better than to ask!
There was also a bag at Xiao Feiran's feet in the second row. She looked around for a while and found two cans of eight-treasure porridge. "I have eight-treasure porridge. Do you want some?"
Huang Yiyi nodded; she still really liked drinking eight-treasure porridge.
Cheng Zhi distributed the food, and everyone started eating.
She tore the steamed bun open, filled it with some spicy seaweed strips and spicy small fish, and ate it with great relish.
For some reason, Huang Yiyi suddenly felt a little regretful. Compared to this, her eight-treasure porridge seemed rather lackluster.
She moved closer to Cheng Zhi, "Sister, can you feed me a bite?"
Cheng Zhi ruthlessly pushed her head back, "Oh no, you just complained about my steamed bun, and now it doesn't want you to eat it. Go away with your eight-treasure porridge!"
"No! I was wrong, I apologize to it!"
