Zhang Xiuqing looked at her, unwilling to part. "Little Lan, the Dragon Boat Festival is only a few days away. If you weren't running your business, you could have stayed to celebrate with us before leaving."
Lin Lan smiled. "I'll be back for the Mid-Autumn Festival. When you're not so busy, you two should come visit me."
The two women nodded readily. "Okay. We'll come to the city for the New Year."
Lin Guoliang returned after borrowing some wheelbarrows. He and his brothers loaded a sack of beans onto each one, then added a barrel of rapeseed oil. The rest of the goods would be taken to town tomorrow.
By the time Lin Changyou came out holding Little Douzi's hand, all the goods had been loaded onto the three wheelbarrows and tied down.
Lin Guoliang looked at the lingering group and said with a smile, "Little Lan, let's go! If we're late, we'll miss the noon bus."
