After dinner, Haoge successfully lured Xiaoge down from the slide with a string of yam bean candied haws.

Who made Xiaoge'er never eat yam bean candied haws?

The little foodie and the curiosity of a child were played by Hao Ge'er.

Little Ge'er, biting new food she had never eaten before in her little mouth, left the hot spring pool, looking back every few steps.

As she walked, she waved her hands to the twins, "You guys go play first, I'll be back soon..."

The twins were having fun over there, and waved their paws at her perfunctorily, "Yeah, yeah, go quickly and come back soon."

Without waiting for her to walk away, they rushed to climb up the slide.

Alas, look at this plastic friendship, it is vulnerable in front of fun toys.

It was not yet 9 o'clock when the carriage appeared on the East Street of Liangcheng.

In the distance, a fat boy of about twelve or thirteen was standing at the door of Zhaoji Cloth Shop, craning his neck to look around.

Seeing a carriage turning in, he couldn't help but go to greet it.

Hao Ge'er had also been looking around in the carriage. When he saw the familiar yet unfamiliar figure, he jumped off the carriage.

The martial arts training he had received in the past two years was not in vain, for when he jumped down, his posture was agile and there was no sign of delay at all.

"Brother Hao, uncle didn't lie to me, it's really Brother Hao who is here!"

"Brother Huzi, Brother Huzi, have you been doing well these past two years? I miss you so much..."

The two friends who hadn't seen each other for nearly three years hugged each other tightly with tears in their eyes. The two little boys couldn't hold back their emotions and cried.

Wang Xin also got off the carriage with the help of Feng Ling's arm.

Then, she held Xiaoge in her arms again.

The two women who came up from behind were already wiping their tears.

Aunt Liu and Aunt Zhao's faces looked more weathered and frosted, with some unfamiliar traces of time.

Only those eyes remained unchanged. When they looked at them, there was a closeness and indescribable gentleness in them.

Wang Xin brought Haogeer and Xiaogeer forward to pay their respects.

The two men quickly dodged to the side, saying, "No, no."

Aunt Liu took two steps forward, took Xiao Ge'er and said with a smile: "Is this Xiao Ge'er? The last time I saw her, she was just born and in swaddling clothes. I held her in my arms, and she has grown so big in the blink of an eye."

Xiao Ge'er nestled in her arms and called out very obediently, "Hello, Aunt Liu."

Her soft and sweet baby voice immediately captured Aunt Liu's heart. Her fair and tender little face made both Aunt Liu and Aunt Zhao love her very much.

In order not to attract attention, Wang Xin only brought Cang Yi and Cang Luan today, and Feng Ling only brought Cang Li and Cang Ming.

Even so, it still attracted the attention of the neighbors.

Those who had seen Wang Xin came up hesitantly, pointing at her and asking uncertainly, "Isn't this the daughter of the former Xinglintang shopkeeper Wang? She has grown up and is even prettier. I heard that she got a great fortune and became a miracle doctor? She was also married to Prince Ding by the emperor? Is that true?"

Wang Xin didn't know them, so he didn't say anything.

Aunt Zhao took over the conversation cheerfully and answered loudly: "Yes, it's all true."

As he spoke, he sent Hu Zi home to bring the melon seeds and candies that he had prepared long ago to distribute to everyone.

Wang Xin had prepared something in his car and asked Cang Yi to get it and give it to Aunt Zhao to entertain the neighbors who came.

Soon, the neighbors who heard the news rushed over, and a large group of people immediately stood in front of the grocery store.

Cangli and three other men unloaded the gifts that Wang Xin brought to the two families from the carriage. The whole carriage was filled with them, which again caused a round of astonishment from the neighbors.

Wang Xin could faintly hear someone in the crowd whispering, "This is what they call a blessed person never steps on the door of an unlucky person. Two years ago, after the accident of Shopkeeper Wang and his wife, Mr. Yang's family hurriedly cancelled the engagement. We felt sorry for Miss Xin at the time..."

Another person chimed in, "Yes, the Yang family could never have imagined that in just three years, things would change so drastically. The person they once discarded has now become someone they look up to."

"Look at Mr. Yang's family, it's so miserable..."

"Ah, who says it's not true? People, please commit fewer sins and do fewer things that hurt your conscience!"

"Yeah, yeah, you're absolutely right..."

The voice behind them gradually faded away. Wang Xin and Hao Ge'er each held Xiao Ge'er's soft little hand and stepped into the home where they grew up.

The original clinic was filled with a variety of groceries.

There are oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, star anise, pepper, cinnamon, etc., as well as firewood, rice, grains, dried fruits and mountain products. Basically, everything that ordinary people need in life can be found here.

The only thing that looked familiar was the examination table.

A heavy rectangular table was placed abruptly in a corner of the room.

It doesn't fit in with the layout of the grocery store.

Wang Xin sat at the table, with Feng Ling silently accompanying him.

Wang Xin gently stroked the examination table. For many days and nights, his father sat here to see patients...

It was also here that her father stood in front of her without hesitation. She watched the knife pierce her father's chest, but she was powerless to do anything.

My mother's earnest instructions before her death seemed to ring in my ears again...

Wang Xin's eyes couldn't help but feel sore, and the chattering words of Aunt Liu and Aunt Zhao seemed to come from a long distance.

From their chatter, Wang Xin learned that Xiangju had already married the only son of a bookstore owner on South Street. She had just given birth to a boy a few days ago and was in confinement, so she couldn't come here today...

Manager Zhao and Aunt Zhao have also expanded their business in the past two years.

Manager Zhao and his eldest son happened to go to Fancheng to purchase goods this time. The youngest son, Zhao Mingyi, was going to take the county and prefectural examinations in the fall. It just so happened that Hao Ge'er was going to be free from mourning at that time, so they could take the exams together...

Over there, Hao Ge'er had already pulled his friend's hand, pushed open the back door, and went to trace the traces of his youth.

Xiao Ge'er, however, set her eyes on the snacks in the grocery store.

The special snacks in different places are different.

The same is true in Liangcheng.

Peanuts, chestnut cakes, broken thumb-shaped biscuits, melon candies, sesame balls... there were a wide variety of snacks, which made Xiao Ge'er's eyes shine and there was a suspicious liquid drooling from the corners of her mouth.

"Sister, sister, there are so many snacks here, they are all looking at me and smiling..."

As soon as Xiao Geer opened her mouth, all the sadness brewing in the air was instantly cut in half.

Wang Xin stood up, walked to Xiao Ge'er, stretched out his finger to scratch her upturned nose, and scolded with a smile: "What a greedy little cat."

Over there, Aunt Liu handed over a heavy purse and said, "Xin'er, this is the rent for the shop for the past two and a half years..."

Before she finished speaking, Wang Xin had already pushed the purse back and said, "Aunt Liu, we are a family and we should not have different opinions. When my parents were in trouble, you and Aunt Zhao were the first to stand up and help my sister and me. I have always remembered this kindness. Moreover, we have been away from Liangcheng for more than two years, and it has always been you and Aunt Zhao's family who have been taking care of my parents' graves."

At this point, she pointed at Xiao Ge'er, who was still staring at the snacks, and said, "Aunt Liu, if I don't stop Xiao Ge from eating the snacks in your shop, you should be polite and ask me for rent or something. It's hurtful!"

Aunt Liu had tears in her eyes and was speechless.

She was just helping out with the funeral arrangements of the shopkeeper Wang and his wife, but she received an unexpected reward. Not only did she cure her daughter Xiangju's hand and get rid of the ominous reputation, she also successfully found a good in-law family. The family grocery store was also reopened. The income has been increasing in the past two years. Who doesn't know the name of Liu's Grocery Store on Liangcheng East Street now?

She managed to make a living, but it was all thanks to Xin's help!

Time passed quickly, and it was almost noon. It was time for Wang Xin and Feng Ling to set off.

Aunt Liu filled a basket with snacks for Xiao Ge'er, and at the entrance of the alley, she and Aunt Zhao and her son watched reluctantly as Wang Xin and his party drove towards the city gate in their carriage.

However, just as the carriage turned the corner, there was a "bang", a scream was heard outside the carriage, and someone fell limply in front of the carriage.
