Sanmiao Village isn't big; if someone farts at the east end, you can hear it at the west end. Especially with someone as significant as Wang Xiaoqiang coming back, giving out cigarettes and candy in front of Big Mouth Supermarket—what explosive news! So in no time at all, the whole village knew.
After hearing the news, Xia Guifang and her son rushed over from their villa. As soon as Little Bao entered the yard, he started shouting with a strong, hearty voice that was delightful to hear.
"Little Bao, it's Little Bao..." Wang Kuishan and his wife heard their grandson's voice and stood up with beaming smiles, calling out, "Little Bao, your dad's inside."
With that, they went out to meet him.
Wang Xiaoqiang stood up as well. After not seeing his son for several years, he wasn't about to put on airs in front of him, but because he'd seen him briefly before, he wasn't overly surprised.
