Liu Qiao’s figure filled Song Yi’s mind while his heart burned passionately. He wanted to see her as soon as possible. He did not know why he missed her even though they usually saw each other during the day.

Mrs. Song wanted her son and Liu Qiao to quickly get engaged to each other before New Year. After all, she knew Liu Qiao was a good girl, so she had to settle her son down.

Du Xiaoshuan did not go home after learning to set up a tent. Instead, he went to Li Mei’s house to help her build one. She was touched by his actions but said, “Go home and build your mother and sister a tent. I can handle this one.”

“It’s okay since it’s still early in the afternoon. I’ll go home and help them after I finish helping you.” Du Xiaoshuan could not bear to see Li Mei tire herself out. Therefore, he took the initiative to help.

Li Mei’s heart ached as she watched his busy figure. She did not want him to tire himself out either since he had done much for her. Li Mei remembered everything Du Xiaoshuan did for her and her family.

Du Xiaoshuan continued setting up the tent while Li Mei helped him. Then Li Mei’s siblings came to help. The little ones had already thought of Du Xiaoshuan as their brother-in-law.

Moreover, Du Xiaoshuan was good to them, and they could feel it. They liked Du Xiaoshuan and treated him as the older brother they had always wanted. The family would feel insecure without him, so they felt secure whenever he was around.

Du Xiaoshuan was responsible for setting up the tent while Li Mei helped him. Sometimes, he accidentally touched her fingers whenever he took something from her.

Their fingers would tingle when they touched, and their heartbeats would quicken. The couple quickly moved their fingers away, pretended nothing had happened, and continued their task. Their faces and ears would also turn red whenever this happened.

The two were so shy that they dared not look at each other, so they could only continue setting up the tent.

“All done,” Du Xiaoshuan said after completing the setup. His heart was still pounding, and he did not know what else to say.

“Yes!” Even Li Mei’s mind went blank.

Li Wei looked at Du Xiaoshuan and her elder sister’s weird expressions and could not help but laugh. “Sister, last night you said you would cook two poached eggs for Xiaoshuan the next time he comes.”

Li Mei returned to her senses after hearing her sister’s voice. Li Mei said, “I’ll cook you a poached egg, Xiaoshuan.”

She knew Du Xiaoshuan would be tired from all the work. She wanted to cook two poached eggs for him to eat because it was nutritious.

She had also heard from Du Xiaoju that Du Xiaoshuan liked eating poached eggs when he was a kid, so she wanted to make them for him.

Du Xiaoshuan returned to his senses when he heard what Li Mei said. “No, that’s okay. I’ve already eaten lunch, so I’m not hungry now.”

“I’ll be done in just a bit. You should have some, even if you’re not hungry.” Li Mei insisted on making poached eggs, no matter what Du Xiaoshuan thought. She made two poached eggs with brown sugar for him.

Although her family’s conditions had improved, Li Mei and her siblings were usually reluctant to put brown sugar in their food. However, she added some to Du Xiaoshuan’s food.

The poached eggs were delicious, and the brown sugar sauce was sweet. Li Mei insisted on giving them to Du Xiaoshuan.

He knew she was frugal, so he was reluctant to eat, so he insisted that Li Mei t s siblings eat instead. Du Xiaoshuan was not selfish and felt he should first give Li Mei and her siblings good food.

Afterward, he went home and helped his family set up their tent.

The workers at the pottery workshop in Willow Village had also received Su Binglan’s notice. She told them to rest and prepare for the earthquake.

After receiving the news, Tao Dayong became worried about Shi Fang. Since that was the case, he was absent-minded as he helped to pack the things at home.

When Miss Li saw her eldest son’s expression, she knew what was on his mind. “Are you worried about Shi Fang?”

Tao Dayong nodded. “l wonder if she has received the news.”

He was fine whenever he was busy but always thought about her when he was not. Tao Dayong and Shi Fang would walk around together whenever Shi Fang had a day off. Tao Dayong even brought her to the workshop once and showed her around.

He was not talkative but always talked a lot around Shi Fang. In addition, he liked listening to Shi Fang speak because she would tell him many stories, and he could remember everything she said.

Since an earthquake was not a small matter, Tao Dayong feared for Shi Fang, and his expression revealed it. After some thought, he said, “Mother, I’m going to Stone Village.”

Miss Li knew her son wanted to go there to visit Shi Fang. “Yes, you can go. You don’t have to worry about us. Your father, brother, and I will be in the courtyard. We’ll be okay if we don’t go into the house.”

She did not want her son to worry. She was also happy to see how much her son liked Shi Fang. After all, Miss Li only wanted her son to live a happy life, especially since he was always so dull and uninterested in anything in the past.

However, Tao Dayong often smiled since he got engaged to Shi Fang. He seemed to love life a lot more. It was a good sign, and Miss Li was delighted to see it.

Still, the earthquake was coming, and she could not let anything happen to Shi Fang. Miss Li feared what would happen to her son if anything happened to Shi Fang.

Tao Dayong nodded and got on the oxcart to hurry to Stone Village. Miss Li thought of something and took something out of the room, saying, “This is the chicken I prepared to stew tonight. Take it to Shi Fang so she can nourish her body.”

“Mother, this is our dinner.” Although Tao Dayong was worried about his fiancee, he still cared for his parents.

Miss Li said smilingly, “We have plenty of food and chickens at home. You can’t go to Shi Fangs house empty-handed. We’re family now, so it doesn’t matter who eats the chicken.’

Then Tao Dayong placed the chicken on the oxcart and went to Stone Village.

Meanwhile, Shi Fang felt very uneasy after hearing about the earthquake. She was worried about Tao Dayong and wondered if he had heard the news.

Shi Fang had a good relationship with Yang Lingling, who worked in the embroidery shop. Since Yang Lingling was also from Willow Village, she said she would help inform Tao Dayong and his family about the earthquake.

However, Shi Fang was unsure if Yang Lingling remembered to do so. Therefore, Shi Fang wondered if Tao Dayong knew about it and wanted to go to Willow Village to see him.

Shi Fang had been to Willow Village before on her day off. Tao Dayong drove an oxcart to bring her to the workshop that day. That was also the first time she saw him making porcelain, and she became fascinated by it. She felt a sense of sweetness whenever she thought of that scene.

While anxiously standing at her house entrance with her head lowered, she looked up and saw an oxcart approaching. She saw Tao Dayong from afar and felt her heart immediately come alive.

Shi Fang could not help but smile..
