Xiao Yuan realized the Zhang Family's intentions and cast a dark glance at them.
Once all the furniture was burned to ashes, Xiao Yuan took Xiao Heizi and Xiao Baohu back home.
Back at home, he recounted the events to Sister Xu and Wang Gui Fen, who both felt particularly satisfied.
After taking care of things, Xiao Yuan returned to school on Sunday afternoon.
Xiao Heizi and Xiao Baohu headed to the county on Monday by bus.
They didn't go empty-handed.
Though both father and son were straightforward, they knew the proper etiquette and brought along some dried vegetables made at home, eggs from their chickens, and also two chickens they had planned to eat during the New Year.
For village visits, these were considered significant gifts.
Besides bringing items, Xiao Heizi also brought some money.
He planned to give some to Xiangling in the city for her to buy something.
