Just like that, watching Zhou no longer obstructing herself, even though she had only spent half a day and one night with her parents in this time and space.
But so far, it was just this brief moment, yet an indescribable feeling of emotion and warmth surged forth, instantly enveloping Ziyan's entire inner world.
It seemed that her parents in this time and space were not just a little different from her parents in the Twenty-First Century. Moreover, in this time and space, it felt as if she had always lived with her biological parents and had never been apart!
Most importantly, her parents in this time and space seemed to be particularly affectionate and indulgent towards her.
Thinking to this point, tears began to swirl uncontrollably in Ziyan's eyes.
She quickly held back the tears, refusing to let them fall.
And Ziyan reminded herself: it is still too early to be moved; there is plenty of time ahead. The journey will reveal the strength of the horse, and time will show a person's heart. She would just have to wait and see!
If in this lifetime her parents could truly treat her well from the bottom of their hearts, then she would dedicate her entire life to working hard to become wealthy.
Then she would completely forget all the bad things from her previous life. She would focus wholeheartedly on building a family business and be filial to her parents in this lifetime.
Because in the previous time and space, after being ruthlessly hurt by her parents, even though she later reconciled with her family, she still took a long time before visiting her elderly parents again after her Adoptive Father passed away.
Occasionally making one or two phone calls to them, she always found herself unsure of what to say or talk about with them.
Recalling their poverty and hardships living in the countryside, during festivals Ziyan would send them some money as a gesture, and life continued on in such a way.
Sigh—!
Ziyan sighed to herself: once bitten by a snake, one is afraid of ropes for ten years.
Recalling the days spent in the orphanage, where there was no father’s love and no mother’s care, how could she easily forget all the bad memories from the past?
Ziyan gently patted her chest, took a deep breath, and quickly adjusted her mood.
She picked up the bamboo basket from the ground and continued her search along the riverbank. Soon, she noticed a large patch of Shepherd's Purse ahead and quickly crouched down to pull some up.
Before long, she had gathered enough for one or two servings and continued to look for other varieties.
Sure enough, not far away, she discovered some Goji Sprouts—tender new branches of the goji tree.
Thus, Ziyan harvested enough Goji Sprouts for another one or two dishes.
Why only gather one or two servings?
Ziyan knew well that it was simply to enjoy them fresh.
During this season, these wild vegetables are easy to pick; there’s no need to take them home only to let them wilt before eating or throwing them away. That would be a waste!
Ziyan continued moving forward and soon picked a small bunch of Wild Onion. Before she knew it, she had arrived at the shallow area of the riverbed.
Curiously, Ziyan stretched her neck to look at the shallow water and discovered many snails of various sizes, as well as several river clams that looked different but were similar in size.
"Wow! What a treat!"
With a heart full of joy, Ziyan didn't mind the slightly chilly weather of the season and directly took off her shoes to step into the water.
In the Twenty-First Century, Ziyan was a super foodie, and seeing so many delicious ingredients, she couldn't hold back!
Just as she reached out her hand to bend down and pick up some Snails, she heard a voice speaking nearby.
"What a reckless girl! Just the other day, she fell into the river and nearly lost her life, and today she dares to go into the water alone."
Huh?
Who is this? Is this about me? And their attitude is quite unfriendly!
Ziyan twitched her mouth and raised her head to glare fiercely at the person.
A tall, slender, and exceptionally handsome figure stood on the shore, coldly staring at her.
It turned out to be Gu Yuxuan, the lifesaver she had just met yesterday.
Ziyan turned her head away and defiantly snorted, "Hmph! What business is it of yours? Even if I were to die, it wouldn't be your concern. Stop worrying about me like a busybody!"
After venting her frustration, Ziyan lowered her head again and continued to pick up large Snails and River Clams, tossing them into the basket on the shore.
