"Hehe! Mom, these noodles are pretty good!"
Wang Xiaoman chuckled and whispered to her sister-in-law.
“Your older brother has been thinking about you so much that he can’t sleep, worried that you’re suffering in the countryside.”
The noise was so loud that everyone in the room could hear it.
Zhuang Zhiwen cleared his throat.
"Hey! Xiaoman, don't talk nonsense, I didn't say that!"
Zhuang Zhimeng wiped her mouth after finishing her noodles.
"Hehe, big brother, don't be stubborn, I know you miss me."
As your younger sister, I also prepared gifts for you all—a piece of clothing for each of you. See how good I am to you?
Zhuang Zhiwen then smiled.
"Hey, I guess I didn't spoil you for nothing. Let your sister-in-law and I take a look at your clothes!"
Zhuang Zhimeng took out the clothes and handed them to her elder brother and sister-in-law respectively.
"Go back inside and try them on. If they don't fit, your sister-in-law can alter them herself. I won't interfere!"
Wang Xiaoman responded.
"Okay, Ya Ya, you don't need to worry about it. If it really doesn't fit, I can easily alter it later."
The whole family dressed up in their new clothes and admired themselves at home for a while, then took them off, intending to save them for the New Year.

Zhuang Zhiwen and Zhuang Zhijun had no seats available, so they had to ride their bicycles and follow along.

Cao Wenxiu smiled and patted the three dogs, then looked up at the old man.
"Look how excited they are! It must be Yaya who's here!"
Zhuang Bingqian also laughed.
"Yeah! I doubt anyone but Ya Ya could get them this excited!"
Zhuang Zhimeng also heard the dog barking. As soon as her father's car came to a stop, Zhuang Zhimeng ran into the house.
"Grandpa, Grandma, I'm back!"
"Good, it's good that you're back! Ya Ya, you've found me a great job!"
"Hehe, Grandpa, the capable should do more!"
Cao Wenxiu held her granddaughter's hand, looking her over from left to right.
"Hmm, not bad, you haven't lost weight. I was worried you'd become skin and bones!"
"Hehe, I don't do much farm work, and Brother Qingbai doesn't let me do any heavy work either."
