The adults were too embarrassed to come to look on purpose, only daring to let some kids come, but even those kids didn't dare to enter, they just watched from a distance outside the courtyard.
The children in the village were all somewhat afraid of Yege. When he was silent, he seemed too stern, and he was also tall and burly. Sometimes, when Yege appeared, those kids wouldn't even dare to breathe. Despite Xia Dabao emphasizing over and over that her dad was very kind and particularly fond of children.
When Xia Dabao drove the horse cart back, she saw Wang San, Zhang Qianqian and the others gathered outside the courtyard, with Lanlan among them.
Knowing they must have come to see Long Aixi, she deliberately halted the horse and then called out from atop the cart, "Hey, all of you come over. I've bought candied fruit, two for each of you."
