Mu Jingzhe had said that they would return on Sunday. Seeing that they hadn't returned, Shao Qiyang knew that they must have been delayed by something.
He was afraid that they would have to travel back during the night, so he had come to pick them up.
When Mu Jingzhe saw Shao Qiyang, she was pleasantly surprised but couldn't help but say, "If we didn't plan on coming back, wouldn't you have wasted a trip?"
Those days, there were no cell phones, and it was particularly inconvenient to contact people.
Shao Qiyang smiled. "Well, I didn't make a wasted trip, did I?"
Although Mu Jingzhe was strong, he was still worried, as she was a woman carrying five children. He was glad that he had come to pick them up.
"We nearly spent the night in the county."
"That's good too. If you guys don't want to come back, I'll just go to town. I'll consider that an early departure. I have to work too."
