The next morning, Gu Xiqiao woke up early to have a morning job around the mountain roads, greeting the villagers that were starting their day in the fields with a smile.
After that, she found a clearing and started practicing the Five Animal Play, noticing a round head following her around after she did.
"Sister Little Gu, whatcha doin'?" The boy was munching on an egg as he looked at Gu Xiqiao curiously.
Gu Xiqiao breathed to recover from the exercise before she relaxed and replied, "Shi Tou, why are you here? Where's the village chief?"
"Dad's checking on the dam, and I'm eating an egg!" The village chief's son was seven years old that year and was so naughty and mischievous that even his family members couldn't quite tame him, but strangely enough, he was quite obedient to Gu Xiqiao. He looked at her with a tilted head and a bright smile. "Sister Little Gu, you're finally back!"
