"Please come in," Wang Yao said. "Did you come here by yourself?"
"No, I came with Auntie Lian. She just went to clean up the house," Su Xiaoxue replied.
Wang Yao's parents were thrilled to see Su Xiaoxue. Zhang Xiuying was busy making tea and washing fruit. She asked a lot of questions. They all had a good time together.
A little after 9 p.m., Wang Yao said, "Dad, Mom, Xiaoxue must be tired after taking the plane here. Shall we let her go back to rest? We can continue our conversation tomorrow."
"Yes, you should have a good rest," Zhang Xiuying said with concern. "Is it hot in your house?"
"It's not hot. I got air conditioning installed last time I was here," Su Xiaoxue said.
"Good," Zhang Xiuying said.
"Yao, walk Xiaoxue back," Wang Fenghua said.
"Sure." Wang Yao happily agreed.
It was very quiet at night in the village. No one was out on the street at this time of the evening. Most of the villagers had gone to sleep.
