Xu Xiuxiu had made proper arrangements for Mr. Xu, and the next day returned to Z city with her child and Xu Jingjing, having purchased morning train tickets. By the time they reached Z city, it was already evening. Although Xu Xiuxiu had been away from home these past days, she had always arranged for Aunt Luo to help watch over the house. Therefore, when Xu Xiuxiu and the others arrived home, the house was still very clean, and Aunt Luo, seeing that Xu Xiuxiu and the children had returned, immediately prepared dinner, saving Xu Xiuxiu a great deal of trouble.
After arriving in Z city, Xu Xiuxiu didn't rest much and plunged wholeheartedly into the renovation of Soup City the very next day. She was eager to live with Song Yuanhuan in Imperial City, and thus began to expedite the arrangements for Soup City at a rapid pace. She even managed to agree upon an exact opening date with Ye Hua within a short period of time, New Year's Day of '86.
