The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

Meanwhile, on the other side, at Lu Chunhua's home in courtyard number 93.

Song Anting pushed open the door to the master bedroom carrying a lunchbox, and Lu Chunhua, who was chatting with her husband Song Qiang, immediately turned her head.

"Honey, where have you been? What are you holding?"

"I...I went to Brother Kaixin's place."

Song Anting walked to the bedside with her head down and handed the lunchbox to her mother:

"Mom, Kaixin asked me to bring this back for Dad to eat, saying it's to help him recover."

Lu Chunhua subconsciously reached out and took it, only to find that there were several dishes in the lunchbox.

Braised wild boar, deep-fried moose, and a few pieces of fish fried to a golden brown.

She stared at it for a while before looking up at her daughter with a face full of surprise: "This...this really came from Kaixin?"

Song Anting hummed in agreement and replied softly, "I was too embarrassed to take it at the time, but his sister said there was too much and it wouldn't last a day or two."

"Girl, what are you doing at Kaixin's place?" Lu Chunhua continued to ask.

"In the morning, I saw a lot of soldiers coming to look for him, and I was afraid that something had happened to him, so I... I..." Song Anting's voice grew softer and softer, and her fingers unconsciously twisted the hem of her clothes.

"Alright, alright!" Song Qiang interrupted his daughter from the bed, waving his hand. "An Ting, you should go back to your room!"

"Okay, Dad!" Song Anting nodded and ran to her room eagerly.

When Lu Chunhua saw this, she wanted to say something, but her husband on the bed stopped her.

After everyone had entered and exited the room, Lu Chunhua turned to him with a puzzled look: "Husband, why did you stop me? I just wanted our daughter to have some too."

"Wife, you don't need to worry about this."

Song Qiang leaned against the headboard, chuckling as he glanced towards his daughter's room. "Our daughter was gone for so long, she must have eaten before coming back."

Lu Chunhua then realized what was happening, looked down at the lunchbox of food in her hand, and smacked her lips:

"Honey, isn't Kaixin being a little too nice to our family? Do you think he might be interested in our daughter?"

"Don't make wild guesses!" Song Qiang's smile faded, and his gaze became deep. "Let's not worry about how the two children develop in the future. Just let nature take its course."

"But shouldn't we tell An Ting to be careful? They're both still young, what if..."

"What if it's even better!" Song Qiang replied, his tone certain. "With such a wonderful son-in-law, I feel at ease knowing my daughter is with him."

"Oh my!" Lu Chunhua raised an eyebrow and teased, "You said our daughter wasn't good enough for Kaixin, so why have you changed your mind now?"

Song Qiang blushed and coughed twice: "Wife, let's eat. The smell is making my mouth water."

Seeing her husband's sullen face, Lu Chunhua snorted and turned to go to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks.

.......

Meanwhile, Li Kaixin, Li Xiaoxiao, Li Kai, and Zhang Xiaohua had already left courtyard number 94 and were walking on the street.

As for why he went out, it was mainly because it was getting dark. Li Kaixin was worried about Zhang Xiaohua's safety, so he decided to personally take her home.

Li Kai, limping, was supported by Zhang Xiaohua and walked at the very back.

"Brother Kai, can you please stop being so sarcastic next time? Look at what Big Brother did to you." Zhang Xiaohua felt both sorry for him and angry at his miserable state.

"Xiaohua, I'm really fine, you don't need to support me."

Li Kai forced himself to sit up, then secretly glanced at the older man in front of him out of the corner of his eye, and whispered:

"And I told him that I was only letting my older brother win; otherwise, I could have easily taken him down if a fight had broken out."

But before he could finish speaking, Li Kaixin, who was walking ahead, spoke up without turning around:

"You brat, I heard everything you said. Don't think I won't teach you a lesson just because Xiaohua is here."

Li Kai was so startled that his legs went weak, but luckily Zhang Xiaohua caught him in time.

"Hahaha!!" Li Xiaoxiao laughed unrestrainedly when she saw his ridiculous appearance: "Li Kai, are you trying to make me laugh to death?"

"Xiaoxiao, you..." Li Kai was about to get angry when Zhang Xiaohua pinched his waist.

"Ouch, Xiaohua, why are you pinching me?"

Zhang Xiaohua blushed and said in a low voice, "Can't you just shut up? If you keep this up, I don't care whether you believe me or not."

"Okay, okay! I won't say anything more, alright?" Li Kai rubbed his waist, looking aggrieved.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiaoxiao laughed even harder, and even Li Kaixin turned around to glance at her younger brother.

Ten minutes later, the group of four walked through two alleys and finally arrived at the entrance of the courtyard house where Zhang Xiaohua lived.

The person guarding the gate was still Aunt Liu.

She immediately recognized the four people approaching and greeted them with a smile, "Oh, Xiaohua, it's Comrade Li and the others who brought you back!"

"Aunt Liu, you're guarding the gate again today. You're working so hard."

Li Kaixin stepped forward, pulled a handful of milk candies from her pocket, and handed them over: "Here, have some candy to sweeten your mouth."

"Comrade Li, this, this is too much trouble!" Aunt Liu said, but she was quick to start.

After putting the candy into her pocket, her gaze inadvertently fell on Li Kai again:

"Xiaohua, what's wrong with your classmate? He walks with a limp."

Before Zhang Xiaohua could answer, Li Kai puffed out his chest and spoke first: "I'm fine, Aunt Liu. I just tripped and fell because it was dark."

"It's good that you're alright."

Aunt Liu glanced at him again, then stepped aside to make way for him, saying, "It's getting late, you should go inside first! I'll wait here until you come out before closing the door."

"Okay, thank you very much, Aunt Liu."

Li Kaixin replied with a smile, and led Li Xiaoxiao, Li Kai, and Zhang Xiaohua into the courtyard.

Aunt Liu stood there, watching Zhang Xiaohua support Li Kai's back, and couldn't help but mutter to herself:

"Looks like Old Zhang's eldest daughter has found a boyfriend."

In the courtyard, at Zhang Xiaohua's house.

An elderly woman in her fifties or sixties with triangular eyes sat in the main seat at the table in the main room.

Next to him were Zhang's father, Zhang's mother, and an unfamiliar middle-aged man.

"Mother, it's getting late. Why don't you and your younger brother go to sleep first?" Father Zhang said first, glancing at the darkening sky outside the window.

"Sleep?! What are you talking about?!"

Grandma Zhang slapped the table in front of her, her triangular eyes narrowing. "I haven't seen that brat Xiaohua all day. I don't know how you, as her father, raised her!"

If it weren't for the incident she caused a few days ago, you would really think she was a grandmother who dotes on her granddaughter just by hearing her words.
