"Come here, Zhuzhu, let Mommy help you!"
When Zhuzhu heard that her mother had arrived, she handed the eggs to Limai.
Li Mai picked up the egg, bent her index finger and gently tapped it, and the egg cracked. She easily peeled off the shell and handed it to Zhu Zhu.
Another little girl instinctively handed the egg to Li Mai, tilting her head back and looking at Li Mai with her innocent big eyes.
Li Mai smiled, took it, and helped peel it too.
The little girl smiled sweetly at Li Mai, squatted down to face Zhu Zhu, and the two of them happily ate together.
Li Mai looked at Zhu Zhu with affection, then looked up and met the old woman's gaze as she was being sized up.
Li Mai smiled faintly at the other person and nodded, "Grandpa, is this your granddaughter?"
The old woman nodded. "Yes, you must be Xiaoquan's wife. You may not recognize me, but you should call me Second Grandma according to our family hierarchy."

Grandma looked her over a few more times, then smiled and nodded. "She's a good child. Xiaoquan is truly blessed. You don't know, Xiaoquan used to help me carry water so many times. I never thought... Ah, now it's all good, now it's all good!"
Grandma spoke softly, glancing in Zhou Quan's direction.

Li Mai couldn't help but smile back at him, then turned to Second Grandma and asked, "Was he very popular in the village before?"
Grandma Er nodded without hesitation, "Yes, among the young people of their generation, Xiaoquan is the most benevolent and kind. In the past, several young people were inspired by him to often help families in the village who needed assistance."
"But ever since Koizumi was injured, no one has been willing to help the villagers anymore. They all say that good deeds don't always go unrewarded!"
"But look, Koizumi is all better now. Good people are rewarded, don't you think, Koizumi's wife?"
Li Mai smiled and glanced at Zhou Quan again, then replied to Second Grandma, "That's right, Second Grandma, good people are always rewarded!"
