Inferno, no, it should be called White Snow now.
There was an inverted triangular patch of hair on White Snow’s nose that looked like snow. It was a stark contrast to the maroon hair on its body.
Shen Yao lifted a corner of his robe and jumped up. He sat steadily on White Snow’s back.
Then, he stretched out his right hand to Ji Zhao. “Ah Tao?’
Ji Zhao obediently stretched out her left hand. In an instant, she felt weightless.
Then, she landed steadily in Shen Yao’s arms.
Shen Yao grabbed the reins and shouted!
Like an arrow released from a bow, White Snow quickly rushed out—
When the wind blew, the hair on Ah Tao’s temples fluttered in the wind. Shen Yao could smell a faint hibiscus fragrance.
After galloping for half an hour, White Snow finally stopped in a mountain stream.
The shade of the trees hid the sun, and the stream gurgled.
“I didn’t expect there to be such a quiet place at the back mountains.” Ji Zhao walked to the stream and slowly squatted down. The clear stream water reflected her bright and gentle face, rippling with the breeze.
“I only discovered this place by chance.” Shen Yao held her hand and walked along the stream. “Ah Tao, follow me.”
The two of them followed the stream and walked up the stairs. An hour later, they stopped.
“There’s actually a hot spring pool here?” Smelling the sulfurous smell in the air and seeing the hot spring pool that was surrounded by steam not far away, Ji Zhao’s eyes were filled with surprise.
“Yes.” Looking at her stunned expression, Shen Yao found it extremely interesting. “It’s also a coincidence that I found this place.”
Ji Zhao impatiently stepped forward and reached her hand into the hot spring.
The warm spring water wrapped around her skin and felt very warm. “Ah Tao, do you want to go in and soak?” Shen Yao stood beside her and suggested with a smile.
“Now?’
“Yes.” Shen Yao nodded slightly. “I’ll watch over you.”
Ji Zhao bit her lip in a dilemma. She really wanted to soak in the hot spring.
However, it seemed a little strange to let Shen Yao guard her.
“Are you worried about me, Ah Tao? Huh?” Shen Yao suddenly smiled and lifted her chin. Then, he kissed her without hesitation—
Fifteen minutes later, he reluctantly let go of the cute girl in his arms and raised his hand to tap the tip of her nose.
“Ah Tao, I won’t bully you until you’re ready.”
Shen Yao gently pushed away the hair on her forehead, his gentle eyes filled with love.
“Shen Yao,”
“Yes?”
“After we get married, we’ll come here to soak together, okay?” Ji Zhao whispered into his ear, then hurriedly turned around and walked away.
It was as if a brilliant firework had exploded in Shen Yao’s heart.
It was beauty beyond description.
What Ah Tao’s words meant was—
Good things were about to happen to them.
After weighing the pros and cons, Ji Zhao decided to bring Ji Chen back to Pomegranate Village.
“Sister, you did it for me,” Ji Chen suddenly said as he looked at Ji Zhao, who was packing her luggage.
“Sister doesn’t like Pomegranate Village. Don’t force yourself for me.”
Ji Chen, who was already seven years old, became more obedient and sensible.
“Silly.” Ji Zhao stroked his soft hair and said with a smile, “When a woman gets married, she should get married from her maiden home.”
“And I think that’s what Grandfather wants to see!’
“No, that’s not the main reason.” Ji Chen shook his head stubbornly. “Sister paid to rebuild the Ji family’s ancestral hall and decided to get married from the Ji residence for Chenchen. Sister wants to accumulate reputation for me.”
“Fool, don’t think too much. ‘
Although Ji Chen wasn’t good with words, he had an intelligent heart.
“Chenchen doesn’t like Sister to force herself because of me.”
“Besides, getting married is a big deal.”
“I don’t want my sister to have any regrets.”
“Silly Chenchen, don’t you want to marry me off as a member of my maiden family?” Ji Zhao asked with a smile. “Chenchen, to me, the Shen family is my husband’s family, and where you are my maiden family. Do you understand?” When she heard that Ji Zhao had decided to return to the Ji family’s courtyard in Pomegranate Village to get married, although Zhao Lanhua was in a daze, she did not stop her in the end.
“I originally wanted her to get married from the Tian family. It can be considered as fulfilling my wish.” Zhao Lanhua smiled and sighed. “However, I’m proud and impressed that this girl can make such a decision.”
Her good daughter-in-law was really too obedient.
“No matter what, Chenchen’s surname is Ji.” Shen Dashan also felt that Ji Zhao’s decision was very reasonable. “But now that Pomegranate Village has declined, we should find a reliable person to help with the marriage, right?”
“Don’t worry about that. I’ve already spoken to Sister Guihua.”
“That works too.”
On the thirteenth of June, Ji Zhao brought Ji Chen back to Pomegranate Village.
Uncle Wei brought the entire village to welcome them.
When the villagers of Pomegranate Village found out that Ji Zhao had spent money to repair the ancestral hall, they were all very happy.
As long as Ji Zhao still acknowledged her surname, there was still hope for Pomegranate Village.
Why was Shanghe Village’s oil-extraction workshop becoming more and more popular?
Wasn’t it all because Ji Zhao was familiar with the big businessmen in the county?
Now that she had decided to get married from Pomegranate Village, the villagers were sincerely happy.
Among them, Uncle Wei even brought the villagers to clean the Ji family’s original house until it was spotless. He also spent a lot of money and bought many paper decorations to decorate it.
The moment she stepped into the Ji Family’s Fence Courtyard again, Ji Zhao was in a daze.
It had only been a year, but so many things had happened.
Her grandfather died of illness, Madam Xie went to jail, and the Ji Family fell— Scenes of the past surfaced in her mind.
“Sister?” Noticing that she was in a daze, Ji Chen tugged at her clothes worriedly.
“I’m fine.” Ji Zhao smiled back and walked into the house she had lived in before.
The furnishings in the house were the same as before.
However, the word ‘happiness’O could be seen everywhere, adding a hint of joy to this dimly lit house.
“We didn’t have much time, so we could clean up a little,” Uncle Wei explained with a smile.
“It’s already very good.” Ji Zhao smiled gratefully. “Thank you, Uncle Wei. ‘
“Ah Tao, you’re a girl from our Pomegranate Village, so you don’t have to be so polite,” Uncle Wei said with a kind smile. “1 got someone to prepare some rice and noodles in the kitchen. It’s enough for a few days.”
“Thanks a lot.”
Ji Zhao took out a silver ingot from her pouch and handed it to Uncle Wei.
At first, Uncle Wei was unwilling to accept it, but he really could not push the stubborn Ji Zhao away. In the end, he could only accept it.
When only the siblings were left in the courtyard, Ji Zhao smiled and looked at
Ji Chen, who was silent. “Chenchen, do you want to eat noodles fish?”
Uncle Wei’s arrangements were very thorough. Not only was there rice and noodles in the kitchen, but there were also some eggs and vegetables.
Beside the stove, there was also neatly piled firewood.
“Chenchen, light the fire. I’ll make the noodles,” Ji Zhao instructed with a smile.
