By the time Qiao Mei reached home, it was already dusk. Qiao Qiang was waiting anxiously at home and kept going to the entrance of the courtyard to look around. Logically speaking, if they had gone to the county city in the morning, they should be back by noon. He wondered why there was still no sign of them.
"Why hasn't Mei Mei returned after so long, sigh, seriously." Qiao Qiang paced around the courtyard anxiously.
The children watched Qiao Qiang but they did not know what was going on. The young Zhang Miao asked, "Grandpa, why do you keep going round in circles?"
Qiao Qiang smiled and said, "I'm not going round in circles. I'm just anxious. Your elder sister Mei Mei isn't back yet."
"Grandfather, don't worry. My mother also went with elder sister Qiao Mei so everything should be fine," Zhang Wei said.
