Lin Lishan laughed heartily, "It would be best if you leave the day after tomorrow right when you return. I’ll bring some things by tomorrow. Then you can come directly without anything in hand, and hopefully sleep here the night after."
"That’s fine, we’ll see how it goes. Someone’s coming in from outside, it should be Red Pepper with that loud voice of hers. Let’s go out and take a look." With that, Zhou Xiaozheng went out with his wife.
Zhao Yuanyuan bounced in from outside. Seeing them, she greeted them with a smile, "Uncle, Auntie, hello. I heard there’s seafood so I came over. Hasn’t Jiao Jiao come back yet? You should bring her over soon; I’m bored out of my mind."
Lin Lishan smiled and went forward to grab her hand, "Just in time, where are your mom and brother?"
Zhao Yuanyuan complained, "You don’t know how slow my brother is. My mom asked him to find my dad so he could drive us directly to Uncle Zhou’s, and we won’t cook dinner, but have a feast instead." She finished, then shouted loudly, "Mom, hurry up."
Zhou Xiaozheng smiled at her, this carefree nature is really like the two of them, "Don’t shout, go have a look in the kitchen yourself first—help yourself to something you like."
Zhao Yuanyuan jumped up with excitement and shouted, "I love Uncle Zhou the most, you’re just like Jiao Jiao’s dad; our Jiao Jiao is so understanding too." With that, she pulled Lin Lishan and ran towards the kitchen.
Cheng Hongli came in from outside, yelling in a hurry, "Why are you running, girl, you’re about to make Aunt Shan fall. Oh my, your character is just like your father’s, all hasty and careless—can’t you be more stable?"
"How much is stability worth? I don’t recognize it, don’t let it delay my reunion with delicacies." Zhao Yuanyuan heard her mother shouting, begrudgingly slowed her pace, and gave Lin Lishan an apologetic smile. She’d forgotten that Jiao Jiao’s mom was not as sturdy as her own, better not cause any accidents by pulling around.
Zhou Xiaozheng watched the mother and daughter banter and couldn’t help but laugh heartily—the Zhao family must be lively all the time. Zhao Yuanyuan’s character is nice, this child is broad-minded and straightforward; only someone like her could get close to Jiao Jiao, otherwise, their steady-tempered Jiao Jiao wouldn’t be able to handle such vivacity. He was quite happy for her to befriend Jiao Jiao; young girls should be carefree every day, and hopefully, with time, Jiao Jiao would become more outgoing.
Lin Lishan laughed loudly, "How am I as weak as you say? Yuanyuan is very nice, don’t blame her." She looked at what Cheng Hongli was carrying—one basket and a cloth bag.
"Hongli, what are you doing, moving house? We have everything here. Bringing a cabbage would have been enough; you brought so much, what about your own home?"
