Zhao Jing and Chen Wanqing stayed in the Zhao Village for just one night. Then, amidst the reluctant farewells of Mrs. Zhao and Xiang'er, they were escorted to Qingshui County by Mr. Zhao's grandson.
Mr. Zhao's eldest grandson was the same age as Zhao Jing.
The young man wasn't as tall as Zhao Jing and was of a junior generation, but he had married young and was even a father.
The young man called out "Uncle" and "Aunt" one after another. Zhao Jing had probably long grown accustomed to it, but Chen Wanqing couldn't help but feel genuinely awkward.
Fortunately, they soon arrived in Qingshui County.
Xu Suying was at the doorway, doing some needlework as she waited for them.
