Jiang Zao also introduced Lu Yanxun: "Yanxun, this is my aunt, my dear aunt."

"Auntie, just call me Yanxun," Lu Yanxun greeted politely. "I didn't know it was you before, so I didn't go out to say hello."

"Oh, it's nothing." Zhou Meixiang smiled. "My sister told me that you're taking Xiaozao back this afternoon. I heard why. You really care about Xiaozao. As her aunt, I sincerely thank you. I hope you two can stay together forever."

Lu Yanxun gave a polite smile: "Auntie, you're too kind. It's all my pleasure."

"Auntie, don't talk to him anymore. He's not good with words and only knows a few phrases. Let's talk our own thing and just pretend he doesn't exist."

Jiang Zao knew that Lu Yanxun didn't like interacting with strangers, so she took the initiative to steer the conversation towards herself.

"Oh, I see." Zhou Meixiang nodded.

He then leaned close to Jiang Zao's ear and said in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"Little Zao'er, don't say he's bad at talking in front of others. Men care about their pride. You're making him lose face. He'll blame you when no one's around."

Zhou Meixiang knew that the two came from vastly different backgrounds and was worried that if Lu Yanxun got angry, he would make things difficult for Jiang Zao.

Jiang Zao was someone Zhou Meixiang watched grow up, and she was genuinely worried that Jiang Zao wasn't doing well, so she kindly reminded her.

"I understand, Auntie. I'll be more careful in the future," Jiang Zao replied earnestly.

Zhou Meixiang added, "This kind of in-laws are hard to deal with. From now on, just take good care of the child and try not to get involved in other things. If you have any difficulties, don't try to get through them by yourself. Come home and discuss them with your mother and me. With our advice, you'll be less likely to be bullied."

"Okay, I'll listen to Auntie." Jiang Zao glanced at Lu Yanxun and nodded emphatically.

Lu Yanxun sat in a position relatively far away from the two of them.

I didn't pay any attention to their conversation.

He would only glance at Jiang Zao occasionally while they were whispering amongst themselves.

However, it wasn't that Lu Yanxun looked at Jiang Zao on his own initiative, but rather that he would respond with a faint gaze when he noticed that Jiang Zao was looking at him.

Jiang Zao and Zhou Meixiang secretly plotted for half a day right in front of Lu Yanxun.

However, they spoke very softly, so that only the two of them could hear them.

As noon approached, Zhou Meixiang, seeing that it was almost time, got up to leave.

Zhou Meixia and Jiang Zao both invited her to stay for dinner.

Zhou Meixiang didn't stay; the child was at home, and she had to go back to cook for the child.

Jiang Zao was in a great mood after chatting with her aunt for a long time.

She's increasingly convinced that her time travel to this place was the right thing to do.

She now has a family to rely on.

And she has so many family members who can support her.

In just a few days, Jiang Zao fell in love with this time-travel journey.

She stopped cursing God for being blind and unfair to her.

Now I just want to pray that God will let her continue to be the ginger and jujube of this world.

I hope that one day a bolt of lightning will strike her back down.

Jiang Zao silently prayed: "Oh God, I forgive you for inexplicably sending me to another time, but please don't make the same mistake again and send me back to my original world. Thank you!"

Jiang Zao sat under the jujube tree in the yard, cupping her face in her hands and humming a little tune.

Lu Yanxun stood beside her, and when he heard her humming a song, he looked at her indifferently and asked, "Are you happy?"

"Of course I'm happy," Jiang Zao said with a beaming smile.

Instead of telling Lu Yanxun why she was so happy, she asked, "Shall we go back to your house after lunch?"

Lu Yanxun looked at her and said, "You can stay and take a nap. You can leave after you wake up."

Jiang Zao was in a good mood and waved her hand, saying, "No need, we'll leave after we finish eating."

Lu Yanxun raised an eyebrow slightly: "Are you in such a hurry?"

Jiang Zao looked at Lu Yanxun strangely, "No, weren't you the one in a hurry?"

"I……"

"Never mind." Lu Yanxun had just started to speak when Jiang Zao waved her hand and interrupted, "It doesn't matter who's in a hurry, just pretend I'm the one in a hurry."

Lu Yanxun didn't say anything more.

A slightly probing gaze lingered on Jiang Zao's face, wondering what happy thing had happened to her.

It couldn't be because he was simply having a good chat with his aunt, could it?

Lu Yanxun felt that this was not the reason.

However, it was precisely this simple reason that made Jiang Zao so happy.

However, even if Jiang Zao told the truth, Lu Yanxun wouldn't understand.

Jiang Zao was happy on her own, and ate half a bowl more than usual for lunch.

This high spirits continued into the afternoon.

As she was about to leave her parents' home, Jiang Zao could no longer be happy.

I can't even laugh anymore.

Because she didn't want to leave at all.

Unfortunately, I have to leave even if I don't want to. I made a promise, and I have to keep it, even if I'm crying.

When they left the village for the station, Lu Yanxun carried her in his arms as he had carried her there.

Zhou Meixia and Jiang Laiwang, an elderly couple, came to see them off.

The group chatted as they arrived at the bus stop.

They were also very lucky; the bus arrived just as they reached the bus stop.

Before Jiang Zao could say more than a few words to her parents, the car stopped in front of them.

The car door opened, and Jiang Zao called out to her parents reluctantly, "Mom and Dad, please take good care of yourselves while I'm gone."

Zhou Meixia handed her the luggage and waved, urging, "Okay, you guys get on the bus quickly, don't keep so many people waiting."

Jiang Laiwang also said, "You don't need to worry about us, just take good care of yourself."

After saying that, he earnestly instructed Lu Yanxun, "Son-in-law, I couldn't say anything before because you were away and didn't come back, but now that you're back, I have to say something."

"Please speak," Lu Yanxun said solemnly, without any hint of disrespect.

"I'm entrusting my daughter to you from now on. I hope you can take good care of her and not let her suffer." Jiang Laiwang's eyes were a little red, and his voice choked with emotion. "If..."

Jiang Laiwang took a breath before continuing, "If one day you dislike her and don't want her anymore, don't hit her or scold her. Just tell me, and I'll go and take her home right away. I promise she won't be in your way."

“Dad…” Jiang Zao stared blankly at Jiang Kaiwang.

I was shocked by the profound fatherly love he suddenly revealed.

Is this fatherly love?

After living in the human world for twenty years, she finally felt it.

Jiang Zao was so moved she wanted to cry.

"Zao'er, Dad has always..."

Before Jiang Laiwang could finish speaking, Zhou Meixia interrupted him, saying, "Alright, alright, stop arguing. There are so many people waiting in the car. What are you two being so sentimental about down here?"

Zhou Meixia quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Yanxun, don't mind him. He didn't sleep well last night and is just talking nonsense. We're entrusting Zao'er to you. She's carrying your child; she's done a lot, even if she hasn't done anything special. You have to treat her well for the sake of the two children. She's their mother, and children can only grow up better in a family with both parents intact, so..."
