PS: Bonus chapter! Thank you to Li Danni, who loves Grey Bamboo, for the update reminder charm! Long time no see, baby! ^_^
The data has been so bad lately that I haven't been checking the backend much. If a friend hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't even have known about the update reminder icon. I'm so sorry, baby, please forgive me. (Author bows 90 degrees)

"Oh my, you cultured people really know how to talk! What do you mean by asking for leave or bothering us? Just come over if you need anything, and we'll definitely help if we can."
If there's really nothing we can do to help, we'll definitely try to find a solution. Just relax and stay here with us, you two young educated youths..."
As they walked, Aunt Ding chatted with them for a long time, telling them about the village and its situation. Her enthusiasm made the two of them feel no awkwardness at all.
Before long, Zhu Qinghao felt that the three of them had arrived at the east end of the village that Aunt Ding had mentioned.
The reason is that there are houses everywhere, but the largest crowd has gathered in front of this house, and everyone is craning their necks to look inside.
Every now and then, shouts could be heard, along with children crying and an old woman's tearful cursing.
"This is it. Please watch quietly. If you have any questions, just ask me from the back."
Don't make a sound. That old sour old woman is always complaining about this and that. There are hardly any people in the village that she can stand.
You young people are easily embarrassed, and you've probably never seen anything like her before. You might even find yourself crying from her words, so it's best to keep quiet and not let her turn her attention to you.
Before Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian could ask, Ding Yuzhen lowered her voice and gave them a series of instructions.
Upon hearing this, the two quickly nodded.
They could join in the fun, but they absolutely couldn't become the center of attention, especially if someone inexplicably dragged them into the conversation; neither of them wanted that.
Seeing that they had both heard clearly, Aunt Ding felt relieved. She grabbed one of them with each hand and pulled them into the middle of the crowd.
She waited until she squeezed next to someone she knew well before she started asking questions.
"Chunhua, what's going on?"
"Oh, Sister Yuzhen, you've come too?"
It was at this moment that Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian discovered that the acquaintance Ding Yuzhen had found was actually Xing Chunhua, whom they had dealt with before when buying firewood.
So the two of them quickly greeted each other.
"Hello, Aunt Chunhua!"
Xing Chunhua saw Ding Yuzhen leading two people over from afar, and only when she got closer did she realize that they were acquaintances.
Upon hearing Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian greet her in unison, she immediately smiled and responded.
"Hey! You two young educated youths went out today too?"
"This snow has been falling non-stop, it must have been so boring for you two. You can't go out and visit each other, and since you both live far away, you can't even hear any gossip."
Si Tian expressed her strong agreement with Xing Chunhua's words, so she kept nodding when the other party was only halfway through speaking, indicating that she wholeheartedly agreed.
Ding Yuzhen and Xing Chunhua both found it quite amusing.
After the two groups exchanged greetings, Ding Yuzhen finally spoke with a smile.
"Okay, I was just saying I'd introduce you. If you already know each other, there's no need for that. I didn't bother!"
Ding Yuzhen originally intended to introduce the two girls to the villagers, but unexpectedly, the first person she brought was someone the two girls already knew.
