Once the Mid-Autumn Festival had passed, Xu Xiuxiu's schedule became rather crowded. The reopening of Sichuan Pavilion was set for three days later, and she had to return to Z province early to make arrangements. So, just as dawn was breaking the day after the festival, Xu Xiuxiu got up early, taking Song Yuanhuan and Song Chengguang back to her parents' home.
She had already been back at Song Family Village for several days now. Because of Song Yuantao's incident, Xu Xiuxiu hadn't found time to visit her parents, but she felt she must see the elder couple before leaving; otherwise, it would be quite inconsiderate.
