Xia Xiao, together with Wang Aihua, Fang Yuejin, Xia Jing, and Yang Xuehua, arrived under the big tree, where everyone started guessing that Wang Aihua's belly indicated a boy was on the way.
Wang Aihua's belly was quite pointy and didn't look as big as Sun Yuhua's had been, nor as cumbersome.
Soon they reached the Gao family's home, and everyone gathered around the table to eat. Zheng Xianghong even prepared a couple of extra simple dishes.
Xia Xiao felt grateful, but also a bit embarrassed as her affairs seemed to be causing Zheng Xianghong and the others worry.
Everyone was familiar with the Gao family and got along well, which made the meal quite relaxed.
After the meal, Xia Jing and Yang Xuehua followed Wang Aihua and Fang Yuejin back home. As Xia Xiao started to clear the dining table, Zheng Xianghong said, "You rest, I can do the washing."
"Mom, you've also worked all day and must be tired; let me do it," Xia Xiao said.
