Just as Zhou was about to invite Gu Yuxuan to stay for dinner, an Ox Cart stopped at the Yard Entrance.
The three of them turned their attention to the Yard Entrance: it was Zi Lao Er and Zhou's brother driving the Ox Cart back from Zhou Family Village.
Soon, a graceful young girl dressed in an orange-yellow long dress, about the same age as Gu Yuxuan, stepped down from the back of the cart.
Zhou, slightly excited, approached them, greeting Zi Lao Er and her brother one by one before walking up to the young girl.
She held the girl's shoulders with both hands, looking her up and down before saying, "My daughter has lost quite a bit of weight this month. It must have been tough for you. By the way! How is your grandmother doing now?"
It turned out that Ziyan's sister, Ziying, had returned from Grandma's House.
"Don't worry, Mother! Since I can come back today, it means Grandmother's illness is almost better. You just need to relax; my grandmother will definitely live to be a hundred!"
Ziying reassured Zhou while urging her on, "Mother, Uncle and Father have been taking turns driving; they must be hungry by now. You should go prepare dinner quickly. I'll chat with my sister for a bit and then come help you."
Without waiting for a response, she pushed Zhou toward the kitchen.
As Zhou walked toward the kitchen, she turned back to remind Gu Yuxuan: she must finish her meal before leaving. Gu Yuxuan smiled and nodded in agreement.
Noticing Gu Yuxuan's presence, Ziying seemed momentarily stunned, standing there in a daze.
It wasn't until Gu Yuxuan coughed twice forcefully and shot her a sharp glare that Ziying snapped out of her trance, her expression turning complex and troubled.
When she finally turned around to look for her sister, she saw Ziyan coming out of the main hall holding a teapot in one hand and several ceramic bowls in the other.
Just as she was about to speak to her sister whom she hadn't seen for a month, Ziyan placed the bowls on the Stone Table in the yard.
While pouring tea, she spoke first: "Sister, you've worked hard. Here, quickly drink some tea."
As she spoke, she shoved a bowl of tea into Ziying's hands. Before Ziying could respond, Ziyan turned around and poured two more bowls of tea to hand to their Uncle and father.
Zi Lao Er also noticed Gu Yuxuan and walked over to greet her.
Zhou Laoda took the tea from Ziyan's hand and praised, "Little Ziyan has grown up, becoming more and more beautiful, just like her sister, becoming more and more sensible."
After saying that, he chuckled!
Hearing her uncle's praise, Ziyan couldn't help but blush a little. Ziying chimed in teasingly, "Of course! Our Little Ziyan is becoming more and more beautiful every year, haha—"
Meanwhile, Gu Yuxuan, who was chatting with Zi Lao Er, couldn't help but glance over at Ziyan with a distracted expression.
She thought to herself, "This girl is so unreserved now; she's completely different from the shy and timid girl she used to be!"
However, when she glanced at that small pink face, her heart inexplicably skipped a beat.
So Gu Yuxuan quickly shifted her gaze away and turned to look at Ziying.
The two sisters didn't resemble each other too much; one looked like their father while the other looked like their mother.
But the key was that the older sister had a somewhat typical weak aura of an ordinary village girl. Thinking back to that little girl, she hadn't paid much attention to her before, just considering her an ordinary village girl. But after spending these past two days together, it felt like this girl had a bit of cleverness about her.
Yes! Cleverness—her various expressions changed faster than flipping through a book!
What else could it be? As for her aura?
She wasn't like those ordinary village girls; she even had a bit of a domineering presence. My goodness! A little village girl actually exuded such an impressive air—it's quite unbelievable!
Amazed, Gu Yuxuan couldn't help but sneak another look up and down at Ziyan.
On the other side, Ziyan had already noticed Gu Yuxuan constantly sizing her up.
She secretly wondered: What does she want? Is she starting to have doubts about me?
Thinking of this, Ziyan immediately pulled her sister over to the large basket of food they had brought back from outside with Gu Yuxuan earlier.
She instructed, "Since we have guests at home today, let's help mom prepare some delicious dishes to entertain Uncle and Brother Yuxuan."
"Sure! Wow—who would have thought my little sister is so capable? Did you find all this food?"
Ziying finished speaking and fixed an incredulous gaze on Ziyan.
"It's not me, really! The main credit for getting so many good things today goes to Brother Yuxuan! He helped us get them."
Ziyan could only respond truthfully, feeling a bit reluctant and embarrassed.
When Ziying picked up the two large Azure Fish that were placed on the ground beside the basket, she exclaimed in surprise, "Wow—it's been ages since we caught such big Azure Fish! These two must weigh at least nine or ten pounds combined! How did you two catch them?"
After exclaiming, she continued to make a "tsk tsk" sound.
Ziyan could only pout in silence and awkwardness, casting her gaze back at Gu Yuxuan.
It was to inform her sister that she didn't have such skills.
Gu Yuxuan, however, remained calm and indifferent, nodding slightly at Ziying in acknowledgment.
When Ziying looked at Gu Yuxuan again, a faint blush of suspicion appeared on her face. She had been staring blankly at Gu Yuxuan, and none of this escaped Ziyan's notice.
Now with this expression, could it be—? Ziyan speculated hypothetically in her mind.
