Chapter 1152: Chapter 1157 Cute Xiang Yun (2)

This was her second time returning to Qingyun Town after moving away, Everything about Qingyun Town remained the same, only, the streets that used to appear bustling and lively in her eyes now felt somewhat narrow and desolate. Probably because she got used to the spacious streets and luxurious shops of the Capital, the town’s offerings seemed a tad unimpressive!

Back in her own backyard, the courtyard was quiet and still, everything as normal. Even though it was empty and nobody lived there, it was clean and tidy, a clear sign that someone was keeping it well-maintained.

Cai Wei looked gratefully over at Uncle Zhou’s house next door, Seeing no sign of activity from his home, she went to the side rooms to check on them. On both sides of the side rooms, the soil she had brought out of In Space was still spread out, but nothing had been planted, which was a pity. If she had planted some food crops or vegetables, they would surely have flourished well.

After a moment’s thought, she found some cumin seeds In Space, asked Chang Mei to come out and help her plant cumin in the side rooms on the east and west sides, saving it for later when Uncle Zhou’s family needed it for grilling meat skewers!

In the midst of her busyness, she faintly heard noises from Uncle Zhou’s house next door, the sound of Uncle Zhou speaking, and so on.

Cai Wei left the side room and, peering over the wall, saw Uncle Zhou returning with meat. He and Jiujin were bringing the freshly bought meat into the house. Aunt Zhou, hearing the commotion, came out from inside, followed by little Yuan’er!

She called out cheerfully to Aunt Zhou in the neighboring courtyard, "Auntie!"

Aunt Zhou, just taking the meat from her son’s hand, was surprised and delighted to see Cai Wei appear: "Girl Wei, what brings you back?"

Cai Wei replied with a smile, "I came back to check on Uncle Zhou and Auntie, to see Brother Jiujin, and to pay a visit to the Nursing Homes, and also to discuss some things with Old Madam An on the side!"

Aunt Zhou nodded repeatedly, "Good, it’s good you’re back, you’re so thoughtful, child!"

Upon seeing Cai Wei, Jiujin was momentarily stunned, a flash of joy appearing in his eyes, followed by a look of sadness, as though he had thought of something. He seemed to have grown taller and more robust in the few months since she had last seen him, his young face starting to take on the appearance of a grown man.

Uncle Zhou was as happy to see Cai Wei as Aunt Zhou was.

"Oh, Girl Wei is back, why didn’t you say something, come on, everyone at home, hurry back to the room and make breakfast for Girl Wei, Jiujin, go help your mother."

"Hmm..."

Jiujin responded and glanced at Cai Wei before he was about to head back into the house.

It was very likely that the Zhou family had already finished breakfast by that time, and they were preparing to thread meat skewers for use at noon. Not wanting to trouble the family, Cai Wei called to Aunt Zhou, saying, "Auntie, I’ve already eaten. I’ll come over to Auntie’s house at noon!"

"That’ll work," Aunt Zhou agreed readily, "Late morning, I’ll make you thin pancakes. You’ve always loved thin pancakes wrapped around little fried fish since you were little."

"Then I’ll have to trouble Auntie!

Cai Wei left her own courtyard and went next door to the Zhou family’s, ready to help Aunt Zhou thread the meat skewers.

The weather wasn’t too cold now, and the Zhou family threaded skewers daily in the backyard. Zhou Jiujin was cutting meat, Uncle Zhou and Auntie Zhou were threading, and Yuan’er was helping.

Today, with one more person working, the task was much quicker and less boring.

Aunt Zhou was a straightforward person who loved to talk and gossip, whereas Uncle Zhou and Jiujin were both more reserved. On usual days when they worked, the father and son duo would be silent, only Aunt Zhou chattered incessantly. Over time, even she found it dull and stopped talking as much.

However, with Cai Wei present today, Aunt Zhou had to have a good chat, spilling all the gossip she had bottled up inside and sharing it with Cai Wei.

"Girl Wei, did your family from the main house come to the Capital to find you recently?"
