On this journey, Qin Shuangshuang couldn't help but start to let her imagination run wild, wondering how her mother would react upon seeing her! Would she be driven mad with anger or so saddened and worried that she couldn't eat? The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became.
As she was nearing home, Qin Shuangshuang encountered a little kid with a bare butt digging for mud eels in the roadside ditch. The kid was momentarily stunned upon seeing Qin Shuangshuang riding on the big green mule. Then, climbing out of the ditch, the kid ran bare-bottomed towards Qin Shuangshuang's house, repeatedly shouting, "Aunt Bai, Sister Shuangshuang is back! Aunt Bai, Sister Shuangshuang is back..."
Qin Shuangshuang was taken aback for a moment, involuntarily gritting her teeth. She hadn't even figured out how to face her mother's wrath yet! That little brat sure ran fast! Why so industrious?! Speaking of which, shouldn't the village kids be in the academy studying with Mr. Min by now?
