After more than two hours on the return bus journey, Zhang Yiyi slept from beginning to end. When she stepped onto the concrete paths of Beijing, she said goodbye to Xiao Xian and Mrs. Zeng in high spirits and took the train back to Tianjin to spend the summer vacation.
Mrs. Zeng knew Xiao Xian's home was in Yanqing and thought it would be too tiring for her to rush back to Yanqing directly on the same day, so she suggested Xiao Xian stay at their house for one night and find someone to take her back to Yanqing the next day.
Xiao Xian agreed, and after arriving at Zeng's villa, she made another call to Zhuo Feng to confirm that the farm was okay for the next few days. Only then did she say she would return home tomorrow and brought back a large bag of local specialties.
Mrs. Zeng sent the two back home and then went straight to the office.
