Finally, Guan Xin picked up her camera, gesturing to the crowd before her. “Listen,” she instructed, “I’m going to count to three, and then I want you all to join me. Smile, then hold for three seconds, okay? Ready, one, two, three. Perfect!”

With the click of the shutter, a photograph was captured, everyone’s wide smiles frozen in time. At the very center of the frame, Gu Zi, dressed impeccably, held Li Hua’s hand, her radiant, warm smile the focal point of the image.

Before leaving, Guan Xin pulled Gu Zi aside for a private conversation. “You know,” she said, “some of the things you’ve said have really broadened my thinking. If fate allows, I hope we meet again.”

Guan Xin had always considered herself open-minded and progressive, but after meeting Gu Zi, she realized she still had a long way to go. She eagerly anticipated their next encounter.

Gu Zi was equally pleased. She hadn’t expected to be interviewed by the journalist she admired most. Since they had met, she believed it was fate. She extended her hand to Guan Xin, bidding her farewell. “Of course, I hope we can meet again too. After all, I’m a big fan of yours.”

Although the current Gu Zi was not the original, she felt that she and the original shared similar thoughts in some aspects, such as their views on Guan Xin. Reflecting on the original’s reading memories, Gu Zi also greatly admired Guan Xin.

However, Gu Zi couldn’t understand why the original loved Gong Zhan so deeply.

After the interview and seeing off Guan Xin, Gu Zi helped clean up the shop. While sweeping, she noticed Gui Hua, the owner of the small shop across the street, lingering in front of her store. Gu Zi paid closer attention and noticed Gui Hua occasionally glancing over, seemingly wanting to come over but too shy to do so.

Gu Zi put down her broom and walked in, tapping Li Hua and gesturing towards Gui Hua. Li Hua looked over and immediately understood, laughing. “Ever since Lin Cheng and Lin Hun came by, Gui Hua has been like this. She said she wanted to come over for some peanut curd, but she never did. Give her some time.

“By the way, don’t worry about us. Weren’t you going to take the kids to catch the bus? You should get going. We can handle things here.”

As Li Hua spoke, she wiped the sweat from Gu Zi’s brow. Gu Zi didn’t refuse, knowing this was her sister-in-law’s unique way of showing affection. She didn’t want to reject it.

“Alright, we’ll get ready to catch the bus then. But sister-in-law, I must remind you, you may be able to handle things now, but once the interview is published, you’ll be swamped.

“But don’t worry, remember to limit sales each day. We’re after fame and popularity, not serving a large influx of customers. Once we have fame and popularity, we won’t have to worry about customers, and our national chain plan will have taken a big step forward!”

Li Hua looked at Gu Zi as she mentioned the national chain plan again, speaking seriously. “I never thought about these things before. Sister-in-law, when you first came back, everyone said you were our family’s lucky star. Even though there’s a lot of gossip outside, I still firmly believe that you are our lucky star.”

Upon hearing this, Su Li quickly joined in, shouting, “Auntie, mom is our family’s lucky star, and she’s our big lucky star! She’s just your little lucky star, but she’s our big lucky star!”

Su Bing looked helplessly at his silly little brother. Even if his grades improved, Su Li was still Su Li, always silly. What could he do? Su Li was his little brother, and he had to spoil him.

Around four in the afternoon, Gu Zi took the two brothers and Lele to catch the bus. The bus they needed to catch was the one from the town to the village. These buses usually made a brief stop in the town at specific times. If they wanted to catch the bus, they had to be at the bus stop at the right time.

They arrived at the bus stop just in time. They had barely sat down when the bus arrived. Gu Zi led Su Bing and the others onto the bus, bought tickets, and then waited for the bus to head to the village. By the time they arrived home, the sun was just about to set.

From a distance, Gu Zi saw a car parked in front of their house. At the same time, Su Li excitedly shouted, “Dad, Dad, we’re back! You and Mom should hurry up and give us a little brother or sister!”
