Sure enough, when Mrs. Wu heard that Yang Lihua and Zhuzhu were coming to visit, she personally brought her maid to the second gate to welcome them into the house to talk.
Yang Lihua presented Mrs. Wu with a round fan, which she loved so much that she couldn't let it go.
Her parents' home is in the south. She not only likes the exquisite flowers and birds embroidered on the round fan, but also feels a bit of nostalgia because it is a thing from her hometown.
Without waiting for a few words of greeting, Mrs. Wu's son Wu Jue ran over, pulling Zhuzhu and jumping up and down.
"Zhuzhu, are you here to play with me? I've found a lot of fun things and I've been waiting for you!"
Zhuzhu was wearing a scarlet dress today, and the two small flower buds on her head were wrapped with silk ribbons of the same color, which made her look even fairer and cuter.
At this moment, she was looking at her mother eagerly, like a puppy eager to run out and play.
Before Yang Lihua could say anything, Mrs. Wu could no longer bear it and quickly pleaded for her.
"Sister Tai, please let Zhuzhu and Jue'er go play! My Jue'er has been looking forward to it for a long time! If you don't come, I will take him to visit the village."
Yang Lihua originally had no intention of stopping them, so she smiled and told the two children to go play.
Mrs. Wu signaled the maid beside her to follow, worried that the old woman serving her son would be tactless and neglect Zhuzhu.
Yang Lihua asked about Mr. Wu's condition. Mrs. Wu was sincerely grateful for the ginseng bought from the Tai family, which had helped twice.
They were both eager to get along, and their conversation became intimate. Before they knew it, the whole pot of tea was gone.
It was only at this time that news came from the front that the students had left school.
Zhuzhu and Wu Jue ran out hand in hand. Yang Lihua took Zhuzhu to say goodbye. Wu Jue was reluctant to let her go and begged her mother to go to the front yard to see her off.
When they arrived at the second gate, Yongning and several classmates were just walking out of the alley. Suddenly seeing his mother and sister, Yongning was overjoyed and walked up to them quickly.
Yongfeng, who was following behind, also came forward happily with a book box in his arms and saluted.
"Mom, why are you here?" Yongning hugged his sister and asked his mother, worried that something had happened at home.
Yang Lihua quickly responded, "I brought your sister to visit Mrs. Wu and took you home on the way."
Mrs. Wu was already familiar with Yang Lihua, so she changed her address and said with a smile, "Lihua, don't worry. I can't help Yongning with his studies. But since he's here, I'll definitely take good care of his food and clothing."
Yang Lihua quickly took Yongning to pay her respects and express her gratitude.
At this time, Song Hui, Teng Yu and Qi Ming also came forward to pay their respects, bowing to Mrs. Wu, their master's wife, and then to Yang Lihua.
Yang Lihua was not shy or nervous. She accepted their gifts gracefully, nodded in return, and said with a smile.
"My son Yongning seldom goes out and is quiet and introverted. If there is anything that is not considerate, I hope you will forgive me. If you have some free time and you don't mind the hustle and bustle of the countryside, you are welcome to visit our home."
Zhuzhu hugged her brother's neck and joined in the conversation after hearing what was said.
"Hey little brothers, you must come to my house. I'll have my grandpa roast a rabbit for you. It'll be so delicious! We even have a house in the mountains. It's big enough that birds can jump into it. I'll take you there to play!"
Song Hui and others have no younger sisters at home. It is rare for them to see such a chubby little girl inviting them in such a baby voice. Who wouldn't be moved and happy?
So, several people nodded quickly.
"Okay, little sister, we will definitely go when we have free time."
"Yes, go try the roasted rabbit. Is it as delicious as you said?"
Song Hui was closest to Zhuzhu and really liked the fat baby, so he took out a brightly colored and exquisite purse from his waist for Zhuzhu to play with.
"My sister recently learned needlework and sewed these. If you don't mind, I'll put some candy in it for you."
Zhuzhu liked it very much, but she knew it was not right to accept other people's things casually. She puffed up her little chubby cheeks and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Thank you, brother. When you come to my house, I'll ask grandpa to roast two rabbits for you!"
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard it, and Qi Ming and Teng Yu even teased the fat girl in a weird way.
"Oh, we don't have a beautiful purse to give to Zhuzhu, so we can only eat a rabbit!"
"Yeah, what if a rabbit doesn't have enough to eat?"
The fat girl was embarrassed. She waved her chubby hands anxiously and shouted in a baby voice, "You can't eat too many rabbits! Grandpa said that if you eat too many rabbits, there will be no rabbits on the mountain anymore!"
Everyone laughed even harder and no longer had the heart to tease her.
Qi Ming quickly coaxed, "Okay, let's not eat rabbit! Wait for Brother Qi to come to your house as a guest and bring the best roast chicken in the city!"
"And me, I brought some mutton pancakes baked by my cook!" Teng Yu ordered a bunch of delicious food.
After some banter, everyone said goodbye to Mrs. Wu and her son, then went out and got into the car together.
Song Hui's carriage was closest to the Tai family's carriage. When he got close, he saluted Tai Jizu who was holding the reins. Zhuzhu looked at him a few more times, then slowly widened her eyes and was about to shout.
Yang Lihua was quick to act. She covered her daughter's mouth with one hand and got into the car directly.
After the carriage had gone quite a distance, Yang Lihua whispered to her daughter, "Zhuzhu, what did you want to say just now? That's your second brother's classmate, not our family. You shouldn't talk to him casually, understand?"
Zhuzhu nodded her head in grievance. Yongning couldn't bear to see her sister like this, so he quickly hugged her in his arms and said with a smile, "Mom, Senior Brother Song is a very good person and takes good care of me. Even if Zhuzhu is rude in some way, he won't mind it."
Yang Lihua glared at her son and replied helplessly, "You, I'm just teaching your sister some rules, not beating or scolding her. Why are you protecting her? It's like I'm her stepmother and I have to treat her harshly!"
Yongning blushed with laughter, and he pulled his sister closer to him, saying, "I know, I just can't bear to see Zhuzhu suffer any injustice."
