After traveling through time, she happily became the group's favorite

The small Youth League compound here is bustling with activity, and everyone is happily distributing things.

There were all sorts of things spread out on the table: dried mushrooms and fruit, dried vegetables, jars of pickles and meat sauces, and smoked and pickled meats hanging from the kitchen beams.

Everyone sat together and carefully separated these things according to quantity and type, dividing them into nine parts in total.

Everyone can get their own share. Wang Wenxiang specially helped Xia Zhiyan take out her share and put it aside. He also specially reserved a share for the entire Youth League Institute to use together.

On the other side, the highly-anticipated Xia Zhiqing came to the door of Grandpa Zhang's house with a bag full of mountain products in his hands and steps lightly.

She stood quietly outside the door, and could clearly hear the bursts of laughter coming from inside.

It goes without saying that Uncle Zhang and his family must be enjoying family happiness in the house at this moment.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhiyan's mouth curled up slightly, and then she raised her hand and gently knocked on the slightly old wooden door, and shouted loudly towards the house:

"Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang, are you home? I'm Xia Zhiqing from the Youth Hostel."

At this moment, Grandpa Zhang, who was leisurely playing with his grandson at home, immediately turned his head to look towards the door when he heard the clear and loud shout, and a kind smile instantly appeared on his face.

He stood up hurriedly while urging his son to open the door.

I only heard Uncle Zhang say loudly to his son who was still a little dazed:

"Hey, what are you still standing there for? Didn't you hear someone calling me at the door?

Go over and open the door quickly. Don't keep the little girl waiting for too long. That's so rude!"

After hearing his father's words, Zhang Tiezhu came back to his senses as if awakened from a dream.

He quickly responded, "Okay, Dad, I'll go open the door."

As he said that, he quickly walked towards the door in two steps, and at the same time he didn't forget to respond to his father: "I know, I know, I'm going right away!"

After speaking to his father, he shouted to the young educated youth who was still waiting at the gate: "Xia Zhiqing, I'll be there to open the door soon, don't worry!"

Not long after the words fell, a figure rushed to the door in a hurry and quickly opened it with his hand.

When he saw Xia Zhiqing standing outside the door, carrying large and small bags and patiently waiting for the door to open, his face immediately filled with smiles. He hurried forward and kept muttering:

"Oh my, finally you're here! Please come in! Please come in! It's so cold, you must be freezing after rushing all the way here, right?

Oh my, you've worked so hard! Xia Zhiqing, look at you, you're already here, why are you still carrying so many things?

You're so polite! You must take all these things back with you when you leave. It's a great honor for you to come to our house. Just showing up is enough!"

Xia Zhiyan, who was being so warmly received, didn't even have time to respond before she saw a small figure running towards her like an arrow, shouting happily:

"Sister Xia, Sister Xia! I miss you so much!"

Looking closely, it turned out to be Grandpa Zhang's beloved grandson.

Since Grandpa Zhang often drove his old ox cart and took the educated youth from the Youth League to the town to do business, those kind-hearted educated youth would always generously give him some delicious candies, sweet and crispy biscuits and other snacks.

Every time he returns home, Grandpa Zhang happily shares these delicious foods with his beloved grandson.

Over time, the little guy was full of love and closeness for this group of friendly educated youth, especially the beautiful and gentle Sister Xia in front of him, who won his favor deeply.

Because every time he returned home, Uncle Zhang would enthusiastically tell his family the origins of those things.

He described every detail vividly, which made his family listen with great interest.

Especially his lovely little grandson, who opened his eyes wide and listened attentively to his grandfather's story.

Since then, Grandpa Zhang's grandson has developed a strong interest in the educated youth in the Youth League.

Apart from his beloved family, these educated youth became his most beloved people.

Whenever he mentioned them, the little grandson's face was always filled with excitement and joy.

For this reason, during the autumn harvest season, according to local customs, although young children cannot participate in the heavy harvesting work, they can go to the fields to pick up fallen wheat ears and rice grains.

Moreover, all the wheat ears and rice grains they picked up belonged to them.

For children, this is not only a fun game, but also a way to contribute to the family.

Therefore, they are very happy to devote themselves to this "farm work".

In the innocent eyes of children, doing farm work seems to have become a joyful way of playing.

They ran and laughed in the fields, enjoying the beauty of nature.

When they return home with a basket full of wheat and rice, they always receive praise and commendation from their families, which makes them feel extremely proud and satisfied.

Because of this, during that period, the children in the village always liked to run to the small educated youth home in groups.

They surrounded the educated youth and watched their every move curiously.

The kind and enthusiastic educated youth in the Youth Home would generously give these hardworking and lovely children some delicious candies as rewards.

In this way, a deep friendship was established between the children and the educated youth.

Because of this, playing with friends in the group is the most wonderful thing for children!

It is precisely because of such happy and carefree childhood that we have such a warm and touching scene today.

Xia Zhiyan had just stepped into the yard and had not even reached the center of the yard when a small figure came running towards her like an arrow.

Seeing this, Xia Zhiyan hurriedly squatted down, opened her arms and steadily caught the little guy who was running towards her like lightning, and then gently half-hugged it in her warm arms.

After holding the child in her arms, Xia Zhiyan calmly freed one hand and reached into her pocket to feel for something.

After a while, she took out a handful of colorful, beautifully wrapped candies from her pocket.

Each candy is like a sparkling gem, emitting an alluring luster and sweet fragrance.

Xia Zhiyan smiled and gently handed the candy in her hand to the chubby little hand of the child in front of her. At the same time, she stretched out her other hand and gently stroked his head, saying softly:

"My dear, these candies are specially prepared by your sister for you. You can take out a few and eat them when you are free to make your little mouth sweet!

Oh, it’s been a long time since I last saw our lovely little treasure. Look, my little treasure has grown a lot taller! "

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Zhiyan slowly stood up, but her hand still remained on the child's head, stroking it gently, her eyes full of doting.

Then she spoke again:

"Xiaobao, you are so good. I came to talk to your grandfather about something important. I am afraid I can't play with you today.

But don't worry, next time I'm free, I'll definitely have fun with you, okay?"

After taking in everything that was happening before his eyes, Mr. Zhang, with a smile on his face, laughed heartily and shouted loudly to Xia Zhiyan who was standing not far away:

"Oh my, Xia Zhiqing! Come in and sit down. Don't let your child act like that.

Look at you, you've spoiled him! As soon as he sees those educated youth in your yard, he runs forward like his feet are greased, and there's no way to stop him!

At this moment, Aunt Zhang and Xiao Bao's mother, who had just walked out of the kitchen, happened to hear the conversation between Uncle Zhang and Xia Zhiyan.

They looked in the direction of the sound and saw at a glance the candies that Xiaobao was holding tightly in his hand and the little bag that was stuffed full and bulging - it was filled with colorful candies!

Not only that, they also noticed the basket of fresh mountain products that Xia Zhiqing was carrying.

Seeing this, Aunt Zhang hurried forward in two steps, her face full of enthusiastic smile.

She quickly raised her hand and gently wiped off the few drops of moisture on her palm with her sleeve. Then she rubbed it on the pants she was wearing for a few times. Then she turned her head and looked at Xia Zhiqing with a smile and said:

"Oh my, it's Xia Zhiqing here! Come on, come in and sit down and rest your feet.

Why did you bring so many mountain products? You can just come if you want. Why did you bring them here? They're just fine in your own yard. Why did you bring them to us?

When you leave later, remember to take them all back with you!"

But how could I possibly take it back? Since I had brought it here, I had to keep it!

Just like that, Xia Zhiqing and Aunt Zhang began to exchange various polite words with each other over this thing.

In the end, Aunt Zhang accepted the mountain products, and Xia Zhiqing followed Aunt Zhang and Uncle Zhang to the main hall of his house and sat on a stool.

Xiao Bao's mother was called by Aunt Zhang to make a cup of sweet soup for Xia Zhiqing on behalf of the guest.
