Fang Wenchao found it strange that Zhou Xiaoyun had been coming less often to practice the accordion, and as soon as school was over, she would disappear.

  After several days passed, he couldn't help but ask Zhou Xiaoyun during recess: "Zhou Xiaoyun, what have you been busy with lately? Why haven't you come to my place to practice piano?"

  Zhou Xiaoyun saw Fang Wenchao beckoning to her and immediately thought of what he would ask, so she hastily explained: "Teacher Fang, we are building a tile house. I've been thinking about going home early every day to help out at home, so I didn't go to your place to practice piano. I promise to make up for the missing practice time in the future."

  Fang Wenchao suddenly enlightened, nodded in approval: "So that's how it is, you should go home and help your parents with some things too. Come back to practice the piano when you're not busy. However, this instrument can't be practiced intermittently, there won't be any results if you do."

  Zhou Xiaoyun looked at Fang Wenchao with gratitude.

  He is the first person to be so good to her on the long road of growing up, and he is just a teacher who is not related to her, but his care for her over the past year has been etched in her mind, and he has become one of the most important people in Zhou Xiaoyun's heart.

  She sincerely said: "Thank you, Teacher Fang! I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

  What can be more comforting for a teacher than a child's eyes full of trust and admiration?

  Fang Wenchao smiled and bid farewell to Zhou Xiaoyun.

  Zhou Xiaoyun ran all the way home and heard someone calling her from behind. She turned around to see it was Sun Min, a classmate of hers.

  Sun Min is the shortest girl in class, nicknamed Xiao Buzi. She's a bit shorter than Wu Mei. She usually plays well with Zhou Xiaoyun. Her father is a bricklayer and is currently working at Zhou Xiaoyun's house.

  Sun Min wanted to walk with Zhou Xiaoyun together, and when she saw Zhou Xiaoyun's figure from afar, she called out to her.

  Zhou Xiaoyun invited Sun Min to her home for dinner: "Little one," this nickname everyone loves to call: "Come to my house for lunch, anyway your dad is there too!"

  Sun Min loved playing with Zhou Xiaoyun and happily agreed. The two walked to Zhou Xiaoyun's home, chatting and laughing along the way.

  The house has been built up to half a person's height, and several people are busy. Sun Min saw her father building the wall with sharp eyes and shouted loudly: "Dad!"

  Sun Min's father, Sun Chengwu, was somewhat surprised to hear his daughter's voice: "Minmin, why didn't you come home and instead came here?" Sun Min was tongue-tied and didn't know what to say.

  Zhou Xiaoyun smiled and helped Sun Min out of the awkward situation: "Uncle Sun, it was I who invited her to come to my home for lunch."

  Sun Min looked at Zhou Xiaoyun with a grateful gaze.

  Sun Chengwu didn't say anything else to his daughter after that, waving his hand for her to go play by herself.

  At noon, they had lunch together in the kitchen. With so many people sitting at the table, it was a bit crowded. Sun Chengwu said to Zhao Yuzhen with some embarrassment: "Today my daughter Minmin came to trouble you."

  Zhao Yuzhen smiled all over her face: "Look at you being polite, Sun Min and our family's Dabai are classmates who have always gotten along well, she came to our house and was still excited!"

  Sun Chengwu was originally afraid that the child would come to eat lunch at the host family and have an opinion, but now seeing Zhao Yuzhen say this, his face looked much better: "Our family's Minmin often mentions your family's Dalian, with such good grades, it's the class leader who won a first prize in the county competition, it's really impressive! These days, I've been doing things at your house and I often see Dalian helping you with household chores, this kid is really capable!"

  Hearing others praise her own children is a mother's greatest pride, and Zhao Yu's words opened again: "Sun family brothers, your words have reached my heart. To be honest, mothers shouldn't brag about their own children like this, but our big girl is really a sensible, clever, obedient, and considerate child. These days she comes back every day to help with cooking and doing chores, now all the clothes at home are washed by her! The children of poor families have to grow up early!"

  In the end, Zhao Yu Zhen's expression turned gloomy.

  Sometimes looking at little Zhou Xiaoyun, who is busy with everything like an adult, she feels happy and comforted in her heart, but also has unspeakable sadness. This kind of family makes children grow up too early to be independent. In fact, who doesn't want their child to be pampered like a little princess?

  Let's not talk about distant things, let's just take Xiaxia from the old family as an example. She is three years older than Daliao, and at home, she has been spoiled to the point where she can just stretch out her hand for clothes and open her mouth for food. Every day, she dresses up beautifully like a little flower, but what about Daliao? Except for the time when he went to the competition and bought back some good clothes, usually he wears Xiaxia's old clothes.

  Thinking of this, Zhao Yu Zhen's heart felt a pang of sadness.

  Zhou Xiaoyun sensitively perceived Zhao Yuzhen's thoughts in her heart, and a warm current flowed through her mind. If she had to say what the biggest change was after her rebirth, it was that her feelings towards her parents had deepened greatly.

  She used to complain that her poor parents didn't give her a good childhood, complaining that her parents didn't pay enough attention to her, and complaining that her parents couldn't make money so she didn't have a good life. As a result, after growing up, she became more and more estranged from her parents, and even her relationship with her siblings was very distant.

  Since she returned to six years old for more than two years, she re-examined her parents with an adult's eyes and found that her parents loved every child including her.

  Zhou Guoqiang was most fond of her, spoke to her with the greatest warmth and rarely refused any request she made. Zhao Yuzhen took pride in her both in public and private.

  The deepest knot in Zhou Xiaoyun's heart was quietly untied.

  It turned out that her parents loved her like this all along.

  Sun Cheng comforted Zhao Yuzhen with a few words: "The child should be happy like this, we are all rural people, and girls who are capable and strong in the hall and kitchen are the best. I think my Mimi can learn from your Dalia."

  Zhao Yuzhen hurriedly praised Sun Min a few words.

  The adults flattered each other, while Zhou Xiaoyun and Sun Min enjoyed themselves eating and chatting at the corner of the table.

  After this, Sun Min also became a regular guest at the Zhou family's dinner table.
