Peng Xingwang indeed spilled a large basin of sunflower seeds.

He had quietly imagined a very beautiful scene.

The spring sunlight poured down like a sea of gold, and the sunflowers in the garden turned happily together, facing east in the morning and west in the evening. It must be particularly spectacular when they shake their heads.

The child had originally planned everything well, intending to plant all the flowers before his brothers came back, so as not to cause trouble for them.

Who would have thought they would return early?

Jiang Wang, thinking about how he used to like sunflowers when he was young, skillfully and quickly transplanted the seedlings while various childhood memories flooded into his mind.

Back then, he was in a wild state. He had been fostered at his grandfather's house for a while, and later, during middle and high school, Peng Jiahui was on the brink of bankruptcy and repeatedly asked for money from home. The two families gradually grew apart, and he no longer went back to trouble the old man.

But at least until I was seven or eight years old, living in the countryside was very enjoyable.

You could catch fish and shrimp in the rice fields, dig into them, and find plump eels.

Green bean pods and sesame stalks were fun to play with, and after peeling off a small bowl, they would help grind them into a paste to make pancakes.

There were no kindergartens or daycare centers back then. We could spend the whole afternoon chasing after the big yellow dog in the fields. When we got tired, we would collect a bunch of dry twigs and leaves, light a bonfire, throw in sweet potatoes and corn, and even wrap a scrawny chicken in yellow mud. It tasted so delicious.

"Hey, do you remember," he looked at the child with grass leaves all over his face, his eyes shining, "when you went to catch loaches, but ended up falling into the ditch like a mud puppy and came home all wet?"

"Grandma had to take you to the door and wash you with a water hose. It took half the day to clean you up."

Peng Xingwang suddenly remembered this incident, feeling embarrassed and amused, almost skewing the sunflower seedlings.

The child continued his chatter about how much fun it was in the countryside, but when he got to the part about picking loofahs, he suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "Brother, how did you know about that?"

Jiang Wang snapped out of it, realizing he had let it slip, and laughed, "When I visited them, your grandparents told me about it."

"Oh, I knew it!" Peng Xingwang wiped his face and hummed as he continued to trot off to fetch a small shovel for planting.

Ji Linqui noticed something, memories quietly connecting with clues.

He remembered that dream again but still couldn't bring himself to ask.

Coming back after several days, there were significant changes at home.

Peng Jiahui had just come two days ago to take Peng Xingwang to the zoo. It sounded like he might be transferred to Yuhang for work next year. He had just resigned from his previous job and was highly valued in his new position.

His ex-girlfriend, Guan Hong, had reportedly married a wealthy second-generation miner last month. They seemed to have fallen in love at first sight and got engaged within half a year, even meeting each other's parents.
