Protagonist:

Chai Mi

Su Wan, hearing Chai Mi say this, also felt it was no big deal to go back to her mother's family and stay for a few days; after all, she herself hadn't really gone back to her mother's family to stay in many years. So she didn't oppose what Chai Mi said.

However, Su Wan still admonished Chai Mi: "Chai Mi, you also mustn't be headstrong about everything; they are elders after all. If you handle things too hastily or start fighting and quarreling with them, the impact on you won't be good either."

Which family's seventeen-or-eighteen-year-old young unmarried woman goes around fighting all day? Wouldn't that make her a street punk?

If she then added a pair of sneakers, loose denim overalls, held a fried dough stick in her hand, and whistled...

Su Wan's mind already conjured up the image of Chai Mi as a street punk.

"Not worth it; they're just like that. Let's just suffer a little loss and be done with it. Where in this world is there a general who never gets hit? There are always those who profit, and always those who suffer losses. As long as we don't suffer a major loss, it's fine."

Chai Mi muttered helplessly in a low voice: My mom's temper... life gave her a slap, and she says the last one wasn't loud...

Just so awkward.

"Some people, you give them face and they start shoving their face in. Mom, going by what you say, if they weren't happy when you gave birth to my younger sister, would you have strangled my sister to death?"

"I..." Su Wan was retorted into speechlessness.

Chai Mi didn't say anything more either; after packing up, she looked at Chai Xiu...

"Xiu'er, don't go to Maternal Grandmother's Home with Mom. I'm afraid you'll learn to be cowardly from Mom."

Chai Xiu's face was sincere: "Then I'll listen to Sister and go home with you."

Su Wan's face was awkward; she sighed, holding the child, looking around at a loss.

Since it was decided to let Mother Su Wan go to her mother's family and stay for a few days first, Chai Mi communicated with the doctor one last time, picked up some medicines needed after discharge — such as blood-replenishing and qi-boosting ones, and some for cervical rehabilitation possibly caused by nerve compression — and then led Chai Xiu and Mother out of the hospital.

After leaving, they headed south all the way; when passing No. 1 Middle School's playground, Chai Mi saw under a few trees the messy traces left by people rolling around, and couldn't help but curve her lips in a smile.

Ke County's county seat's bus station, or rather passenger-and-freight station, isn't very large; aside from a few white-painted color-steel temporary houses sitting north facing south, there's just a vast empty parking lot.

The county has been promoting slogans at the bus station: Magnificent Ke County, Longyuan's Hometown, Place Where the First Flower Blooms, Place Where the First Bird Is Born, Purple Clay Capital, Ke City Aged Vinegar...

Hoping that in this wave of Reform and Opening-up, someone might come here to invest.

The county's leaders also often go to Nan Fang to learn experience, hoping to let the hometown's specialties also go abroad, and also let the county's common people become prosperous.

The bus station was bustling with people coming and going, abnormally lively.

Chai Mi ran to a small stall by the street and bought two roasted sweet potatoes, a box of popcorn, several catties of apples, Hua Gai pears. After pondering a bit, she bought a case of small sausages and a case of instant noodles...

Sausages in this era were still a novel plaything, including instant noodles which were also just sporadically available for sale.

Using these as gifts was both economical and affordable.

Although they're biological uncle and aunt, it's still not too good to go empty-handed. And the cousin's child is only four or five years old; buying some things is always better.

Chai Mi strolled around a bit more, found there wasn't too much else to buy, so randomly bought another small piece of clothing intending for Chai Xin to wear; later, after pondering for half a day, thinking of Aunt's figure, she then bought two pairs of pants.

As for anything else, Chai Mi really couldn't think of what to buy.
