Ji Ying, thinking about the upcoming school term, felt particularly reluctant to let go.
"There's the shuttle bus, right? Once I get there, I'll know what it's like. If anything, I'll just have to trouble my second brother to visit me more often." Xu Nianhua said playfully as she squatted down to help wash the bottles.
"Alright, alright, your second brother is a boy; it's fine for him to take the bus to see you more often."
Going along with her, Ji Ying finished drying the last few bottles before saying, "I'm going back to cook. The others should be coming home soon."
That evening, the whole family, except for Xu Qinghe who was in the village, all gathered together.
Having not seen each other for a long time, they seemed to have endless topics to discuss.
"Sister-in-law, why do I feel like your belly has grown even bigger?" Xu Nianhua looked at Zhou He's stomach, which seemed to have grown a notch since she had been to South City.
