"That’s my mom’s crispy pork; it’s famous throughout the whole village," Xu Nianhua said proudly. Pei Yining gave her a thumbs up and quickly ate several pieces. She sucked her fingers with a satisfied look and agreed, "Auntie’s cooking is just delicious. Let me try some dried bayberry!" Pei Yining tasted a bit of the dried bayberry, the sweet and sour dried bayberry, the chewy beef jerky, the spicy and chewy dried bamboo shoots, and the tangy and spicy pickled ginger. She tried a little of everything, wishing she could swallow her tongue. Pei Yining looked at her with shining eyes and said, "Nianhua, how about I secretly take some more?" Her gaze turned towards Fei Jiayi and the other’s food. Xu Nianhua immediately protected it and said, "No way, these are already divided. Besides, what I’ve given you is the most in the first place." Pei Yining pulled Xu Nianhua’s hand, pleading, "Nianhua, can’t you spare just a little more for me? I want the crispy pork and beef jerky!" Xu Nianhua shook her head. She planned to bring some for Fei Jiayi and Su Xi tomorrow, and for the other classmates, she’ll wait until school starts since they live far away. It’s only two days away. She’ll visit Aunt Jiang tomorrow too. This time, Ji Ying specifically instructed her to bring more gifts for Aunt Jiang. Pei Yining gazed longingly at those goodies, but Pei Yicheng had already picked them up and placed them in a cool, ventilated area. He said, "Yining, what Nianhua brought for you is plenty enough to eat!" "I was just kidding." Pei Yining pursed her lips, contentedly held onto her food, and put it in the fridge. She was quite persistent when it came to food. During the winter break, she was definitely going to visit Nianhua’s home. Yes, she’ll bring more gifts this time, so Auntie won’t mind her staying at the Xu Family’s house, right? The next day, Xu Nianhua gave the food to Fei Jiayi and Su Xi. Fei Jiayi hugged Xu Nianhua with excitement, just as thrilled as Pei Yining had been, and even tried to take Su Xi’s share. Su Xi, with quick reflexes, hid her food behind her and said, "Jiayi, this is mine, you can’t have it!" Fei Jiayi was a bit disappointed. After Fei Jiayi and Su Xi put the food away, they took Xu Nianhua to the Su Family’s home. Jiang Wanru was very pleased when she saw Xu Nianhua and said, "It seems your parents have raised you well."

She handed over the food she brought and said, "Aunt Jiang, these are some specialties from our family. The chili sauce is made by my mom, it’s especially tasty and goes great with meals." "And these pickled ginger, dried bayberry, and dried bamboo shoots are all homemade by my mom." Xu Nianhua placed each item beside the table, introducing them one by one: "And also the beef jerky and crispy pork, they’re especially chewy." "Are you from South City?" Jiang Wanru looked at these local specialties and could roughly guess where she came from. "Yes, our home is in a small village near Gaoliang County. My dad even runs a furniture factory in the village," Xu Nianhua said with a sense of pride as she spoke about her parents. Jiang Wanru was holding the chili sauce. Hearing Gaoliang County, she was momentarily lost, her heart ached as she thought about her daughter who was gone from birth. Even after all these years, the memory still stung deeply. "Yes, Aunt Jiang, have you heard of Gaoliang County?" Xu Nianhua asked with a bright, smiling face.
