Chapter 1028: Chunxiao, Who Lacks Tact

Liu Chuxue had no idea that Liu Jiandong had not given up and had even found a shortcut.

By now, the father and daughter had already taken a small path over the mountains toward Guangming Village: "I wonder if Grandpa and the others have arrived yet?"

"We haven't even reached the agreed time yet."

As the two crossed the mountain ridge and were just about to head down the slope, they saw two jeeps approaching from a distance in the direction of the North Suburb Farm: "Dad, could that car be Grandpa and the others?"

Xiao Fu, startled by the urgency, nearly fell.

Fortunately, Liu Chuxue, quick-eyed and quick-handed, caught him: "Take it slow. Even if they arrived first, they would be waiting for us at the pavilion in front of the Ding Zhiqing station."

"Quick, quick, quick, let's walk faster; we mustn't keep them waiting too long."

"They haven't even entered the North Suburb Farm territory yet. We're just standing high and seeing far; we'll probably arrive at about the same time as them."

The father and daughter did quicken their pace.

Meanwhile, on the car driving in the distance, Chunxiao was quite excited the whole way: "Grandpa, Auntie, right ahead is the reservoir of the North Suburb Farm. Once we pass the reservoir, we'll reach the farm. My eldest sister married into Guangming Village, which is right inside the North Suburb Farm; the village and the farm are now connected."

Xiao Laoyezi Xiao kept his eyes closed and did not respond to her. As the step-grandmother, Miao Yiqiu naturally could not ignore her, but today the old man had something on his mind and naturally had no mood to listen to her talk about these things. Yet this girl was utterly lacking in tact; her mouth had not stopped the entire journey: "That's good. Chunxiao, you've been talking the whole way; you must be tired. Rest a bit."

"Auntie, I'm not tired."

The driver, a servant, could hardly bear to listen anymore: "Chunxiao, be quiet for a while. This road runs along the reservoir and is narrow. I rarely drive such a road and cannot afford to be distracted."

Hearing this, Chunxiao needed no further words from the servant. Concerning her own life, Chunxiao immediately shut her mouth.

At last, the car was quiet.

After the two cars entered the North Suburb Farm one after the other, Xiao Fu and the others also reached the foot of the mountain.

Not long after they met, news reached the Qiu family: "Auntie Qiu, they're here, they're here. A small car entered the farm. I saw Xia Qiu's sister-in-law's younger sister in the car."

Upon hearing this, the entire Qiu family rushed to the main gate.

Yet no matter how they looked, they saw no trace of the car: "Sigh, why can't we see the car?"

"I clearly saw it; why is there no car?"

Qiu Mu looked at her eldest son who had come out: "Shaofeng, go greet them and see if they took a wrong turn."

The person who had run to deliver the news scratched his head, looking puzzled: "That's impossible. After turning past the pavilion in front of the Ding Zhiqing station and going straight in, you arrive at your home. How could they get lost? Besides, Xia Qiu's sister-in-law's younger sister was in the car; she couldn't possibly give wrong directions, could she?"

Just as Qiu Shaofeng was about to go out to greet them, he saw a car turning in.

Immediately, many voices called out: "They're here, they're here, the car is here."

Soon, the two small cars stopped not far outside the Qiu family's main gate. Qiu Shaofeng led his family to greet them: "Grandpa, Auntie, Eldest Uncle, Eldest Aunt, Younger Aunt, Cousin Wanxia, Sister-in-law Limin, Chunxiao, you've arrived?"

Yet as soon as he finished asking, he noticed something was wrong: "Chunxiao, where are Dad and your second sister?"

Chunxiao pointed behind them: "They're back there. We originally wanted them to get in the car, but they just came down from the mountain with mud all over their feet. We were afraid they'd dirty the car, so they walked over."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Xiao Fu and Liu Chuxue already heading this way: "Look, they're coming."

While they were speaking, the entire Xiao family had already picked up the items they had brought.

Seeing the items in their hands, the onlookers were utterly envious.
