Hearing such a new term, Su Ling could not be bothered to be sad anymore. She raised her head and asked curiously.

“What’s a mooncake?”

Wang Cuizhi was a little stunned. She subconsciously looked at Su Changsheng and Xu Fengqiao and saw that their expressions were a little ugly.

She immediately understood that life in the Su family had never been good. It was difficult to even eat a full meal, let alone eat mooncakes.

She did not ask any questions and only spoke to Su Ling very patiently.

“Mooncake is like a sweet pastry. It’s very delicious.”

Su Ling was puzzled. “Is it the same as mung bean cake?”

Wang Cuizhi shook her head and suddenly realized that she did not know how to describe it to her.

“It’s different, but it’s still delicious. You will know when Auntie makes it tomorrow.”

Su Ling nodded happily with an expectant expression.

After dinner, Wang Cuizhi stopped Xu Fengqiao.

“Sister-in-law Su, Zhao Yan and I have been eating with you guys during this period of time. It’s too much trouble for you guys. I’ll cook dinner tomorrow. You guys can come over and eat together, okay?”

Xu Fengqiao knew that this was her intention and naturally had no reason to refuse. She nodded in agreement.

Then, Wang Cuizhi brought Zhao Yan home, and Su Ling followed them.

Zhao Yan walked into his house and turned around to see the little packrat standing by the door.

“Why don’t you come in?”

Only then did the little girl slowly walk in, looking very surprised.

“Zhao Yan, your room is so big.”

Zhao Yan did not say anything. He just carried her to the bed.

“Have you finished your homework?”

Su Ling shook her head. Of course, it was unfinished. She had dinner as soon as she put down the cloth bag and came over after dinner.

“Go and get it. We’ll do it together.”

Su Ling swung her legs reluctantly.

“But we don’t have to go to school tomorrow. Master said that we have a day off.”

Zhao Yan did not say anything. He just asked her.

“Then you want to play?”

Su Ling nodded with an expectant expression.

Zhao Yan glanced at her. “I’ll play with you when you’re done with your homework.”

Su Ling’s face quickly fell. Just as she was about to run home to get her cloth bag, she saw Wang Cuizhi standing in front of the door.

“Girl, are you looking for this? Auntie has already brought it over for you.”

Su Ling took it and thanked her before leaving.

For the rest of the time, Zhao Yan and Su Ling were busy doing their homework while Xiaodong ran around her courtyard alone.

When her homework was finally done, Zhao Yan brought her to the courtyard to play.

The courtyard was still bare, but it was just right for them to play.

Zhao Yan had never known that he could be so lively. He could run many rounds around the courtyard.

All because he had someone with him, of course.

Su Ling’s laughter floated in the small courtyard, crisp and loud, lingering in his ears for a long time.

After a while, Su Ling began to feel sleepy. At first, she tried hard to open her eyes, but in the end, she could not hold on anymore and swayed as if she was about to fall.

Zhao Yan supported her and then looked at the person beside her.

“Send her back.”

Wang Cuizhi agreed and carried her back to the Su family.

Xu Fengqiao placed her on the bed and covered her with the blanket before leaving.

Wang Cuizhi was still waiting outside the door. Xu Fengqiao was a little puzzled, but she still walked towards her.

“Cuizhi, what’s wrong?”

Wang Cuizhi smiled. “It’s like this. There are still some materials left for my family to build a house. Aren’t you guys building a house now? I’m thinking of bringing it over for you. You can use it too.”

Xu Fengqiao was shocked. That wood was not a small sum of money.
