"Okay! I'll tell Aunt Jun and the others that we're leaving today."
I ran back and told Aunt Jun and the others, and they agreed.
Anyway, they go wherever I am, they completely depend on me.
At the same time, I also told Nangong Xi that I estimated we would be back by the second day of the Lunar New Year at the latest.
It's not far, only about two hundred kilometers away.
Of course, one can't go empty-handed; it looks like Aunt Jun's New Year's goods will have to be eaten at Dayao Mountain.
We bought some more things and drove two SUVs. We set off at noon and arrived at Dayao Mountain in less than two hours.
As far as the eye could see, there were only gray-tiled houses. We were greeted by the village's big yellow dog.
There were also a few children running around outside in the freezing cold.
They followed the car and drove us directly to Liu Xinying's house.
When we got off the bus, many villagers came out to watch.
This scene made us feel embarrassed.
Liu Xinying's house is quite large, with a large courtyard of 80 square meters. The house itself isn't very nice, but it has five rooms.
They had already received word of our arrival, and as soon as the car stopped, Liu Xinying's parents came out.
Liu Xinying first introduced my dad and me, and Liu Xinying's mom looked at me and kept smacking her lips:
"This child is really handsome."
Then Liu Xinying introduced Aunt Jun and the others, collectively referring to them as my friends.
Otherwise, she wouldn't recognize them all; it's just that Aunt Jun and the others don't visit my dad very often.
"Oh my! They're all city girls, each one more beautiful than the last. This...this must be a foreign girl, right?"
Li Xinying's mother saw Selena. Foreigners were a rare sight here, so she took a few extra glances at her.
"Hey, Xiaohan! Come out and greet the guests."
It took Liu Xinying's mother a lot of effort to get a girl who was only about ten years old to come out.
"Quick! This one will be your dad from now on! This one is your brother!"
Xiao Han was a little shy, hiding behind Liu Xinying and looking at us timidly.
"Everyone, stop standing here and come inside!"
We carried our bags and rolls into the house, and Liu Xinying's father, who hadn't said a word, insisted that we all get on the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed).
I was forced up there, and he even shoved Xiaohan next to me.
Aunt Jun knew there were children in the family, so she bought a lot of candy and chocolate and gave them all to Xiao Han.
Xiao Han was hesitant to take it at first, but she only dared to reach out when Liu Xinying told her to hold it.
Aunt Jun simply peeled a piece of chocolate for her to eat.
Xiao Han kept glancing at me while eating.
I smiled at her and said, "Xiao Han, right? How about we take you with us after the New Year?"
"Really?"
