Chapter 722: Neighborhood Bonds

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Zi reached out to embrace Aunt Zhang, who responded with a look of surprise and gratification. It was clear that she hadn’t expected such an intimate gesture from Gu Zi. Aunt Zhang was thrilled by the embrace, her voice trembling with excitement. “Gu Zi, it’s been so long,” she said. “If I had known you were coming, I would have dressed up a bit.”

Gu Zi’s eyes curved into crescents as she laughed. She had come to visit after a lifetime of laborious work that had left her physically and emotionally drained. In this life, she yearned for a peaceful and comfortable existence, filled with family meals, seasonal greetings, and occasional travels.

In terms of her career, she had no grand ambitions. She didn’t desire a tumultuous career or vast wealth. To her, having enough was sufficient. She had no interest in the so-called high society or social networking. Instead, she cherished the everyday bonds with her neighbors, believing that the most ordinary things were the most precious.

Gu Zi, leading Aunt Zhang and Shi Tou, walked towards her house. As they approached the front door, she noticed that the entrance and the ground outside were spotlessly clean. The ivy she had planted on the outer wall was thriving, covering the entire wall in a neat pattern. Clearly, someone had been taking care of it.

Looking at the well-maintained house, Gu Zi was reminded of her request to Aunt Zhang before she moved. She had casually asked her to look after the house, not expecting Aunt Zhang to take it to heart. Gratefully, she said, “Aunt Zhang, you’ve been such a great help in looking after my house.”

Aunt Zhang, surprised that Gu Zi had noticed her efforts, smiled modestly. As she helped Gu Zi open the door, she said, “It was nothing, really. Sometimes the children play here and make a mess, so I clean up. And I trim the plants and water them when I pass by…”

Gu Zi invited Aunt Zhang and Shi Tou inside. Soon, the rest of the family joined them.
