After Zhou Mingde got married, he took his wife with him to Dongguan Province. The couple both worked at Zhou Jiadong's small supermarket, leaving their child with Ma Yanhong and her husband.
Wang Xiuying's two sons got married two years ago, and even her youngest daughter got married last year.
Everyone in the village knew that Yu Qiuying owned several shops in Dongguan Province, and that Zhou Cailian had married a policeman and Zhou Jiadong had married the daughter of a big boss. The villagers were extremely envious.
These were all things that Zhou Mingde and Zhou Xiaofen told Ma Yanhong, and Ma Yanhong told the villagers.
Ma Yanhong thought this was a good thing, and there was nothing to hide. Yu Qiuying's family used to have such a hard life, but now they've prospered and their lives are getting better and better, so of course everyone should know.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Yu Qiuying and Zhou Jiahong went to Shuiba Village.
After six years apart, Xiao Tingting no longer recognized Yu Qiuying and Zhou Jiahong.
However, Xiao Tingting, who is now ten years old, has a completely different personality from when she was a child; she is much more cheerful and lively.
Seven-year-old Xiao Fangfang is a miniature version of Zhou Caiping, replicating her mischievous and domineering nature when she was a child.
Yu Qiuying watched as Xiao Fangfang snatched the cookie from Xiao Tingting's hand, and for a moment, she was in a daze.
"How many times has Xiao Fangfang told you not to steal your sister's food? Are you looking for a beating again?!"
The way Zhou Caiping yelled at Xiao Fangfang was just like how Yu Qiuying yelled at Zhou Caiping back then.
Those fragmented moments that I thought had faded with time resurfaced one by one, overlapping with the scene before my eyes.
Yu Qiuying thought to herself, "I'm getting old again..."
As people get older, they tend to reminisce about the past.
However, in this life, Zhou Caiping and Xiao Mingyang did not have a third child. In their previous life, Zhou Caiping had three daughters.
Now the Xiao family has built a house and bought a car, making them one of the first families in Shuiba Village to get rich.
When Yu Qiuying returned this time, Xiao Mingyang paid back all the money he hadn't paid off before.
However, Yu Qiuying gave him another 50,000 yuan and entrusted Xiao Mingyang with the task of building a house for his family.
When Yu Qiuying's family returned at the end of 2003, Xiao Mingyang and Zhou Caiping had already bought the furniture and cleaned the house.
This time, Yu Qiuying's entire family came back.
This time, she drove back. Xu Yingying specially hired several bodyguards to drive her, and they brought back five cars.
We drove slowly the whole way, treating it as a leisurely trip.
The car caused a small stir when it entered the village.
"This widow Yu's family is really rich. I heard she has bought several houses in Dongguan Province. I wonder how much money she has made."
"Tsk tsk... So many cars, the whole family must have come back."
"Her family is probably the richest in our village now. I'm so envious."
"Let's go, let's go see what's going on."
Yu Qiuying and her group had just returned home when, in no time at all, a number of people arrived.
"Oh my, this is Cailian! It's been so long! Your child has grown so much. And this is your husband? He's so handsome. I heard he's a policeman, right? That's great! You're the one."
The person speaking gave Zhou Cailian a thumbs up.
"My God, Jiadong has changed so much! If I ran into him outside, I wouldn't recognize him. He's so good at finding a wife, he found such a rich and beautiful one."
"Qiuying, does your fifth son have a girlfriend?"
Why hasn't Ayaka come back?
"Don't be ridiculous, your whole family doesn't seem like country folk anymore."
Yu Qiuying's house was bustling with activity for quite a while.
Meanwhile, the door to Lu Sanmei's house next door was tightly shut, and it was so deserted that it seemed no one lived there.
Now that Yu Qiuying's family has built a house, the wall that the two families used to share has been demolished, and Lü Sanmei's family has built their own wall. The two houses have been moved back half a meter, and there is now a one-meter distance between them.
At lunchtime, Lü Sanmei ate her leftovers all alone, listening to the lively commotion next door. For some unknown reason, her gloomy face twisted for a moment.
