Daohua didn't know exactly what Second Uncle Yan Zhiyuan and Auntie Lin had discussed with her stepfather, but at breakfast the next day, her stepfather seemed hesitant to speak to her, and she simply glossed over it.
Today, after the watermelon harvest, Second Uncle will return to the prefectural city.
Her birthday falls on the first day of August, and this time, several of her cousins had prepared gifts for her, so she needed to arrange return gifts for them.
In addition to giving each person a bamboo tube of jasmine tea, some of the flowers planted previously in the garden had started to bloom, so she transplanted them into pots and gave one to each person.
"Second Uncle, you must come to see me more often in the future," she said.
That afternoon, after the watermelons were loaded onto the cart, Li Xingnian was ready to rush back to the provincial capital.
