It had been almost half a month since Lin Qiao last returned to the village. This day, taking advantage of Song Tingfan's two-day break, she closed the shop to visit the three elders at home.
Not long after getting off the donkey cart, Lai Cai and Jinbao suddenly rushed out from somewhere to greet them. Perhaps they hadn't seen the couple in a while, so they circled around them enthusiastically.
Lin Qiao happily patted their heads, and the two dogs, feeling acknowledged, nudged her so vigorously that she staggered a bit.
Song Tingfan quickly reached out to steady her and then sternly glared at Lai Cai and Jinbao, "Move aside!"
Lai Cai and Jinbao, intimidated by him, moved a bit farther away, wagging their tails non-stop.
Lin Qiao glanced at him, seeing him put on a stern face, looking just like a little adult, "It's alright, I just lost my footing."
Whatever Lin Qiao said, Song Tingfan would never refute it, nodding obediently.
