Lu Jiao gave no chance for Aunt Guihua to speak and left in a hurry. Behind her, Aunt Guihua mumbled.
"This child sure is good. I was a fool back then."
She headed home but quickly started to shake her head, "No, I need to make it up to Jiaojiao or else I'll feel bad."
She rushed home and picked up the eggs she's been saving. Then, she dashed back out, "Jiaojiao, wait for me."
Lu Jiao marched forward in giant leaps and pretended not to hear.
Behind her, Aunt Guihua somehow followed her all the way back home.
Outside the trellis, Lu Jiao saw a bunch of people in her living room and east bedroom. There were people standing and people sitting. They were all clustered together and chatting.
Lu Jiao's expression changed. Did something happen again?
She rushed home with her basket. Inside the yard, the four little ones were walking the dog. When they heard the door, they ran towards her.
"Mommy, you are back!"
