"Why did you come back at this time?" Zhao Yueji, the eldest daughter, suddenly came home. Amidst her joy, Zhao Yueji began to worry if her daughter had encountered any problems.

After Yun Yi parked her bike, she rubbed her stomach and said, "Mom, can I eat first? I'm starving to death."

Yun Yi took two hours to get home after work, and now she was truly famished.

"Alright, alright, eat first." Seeing her eldest daughter's expression, Zhao Yueji knew that there shouldn't be any bad news. She felt relieved and went to the kitchen to instruct the children to set the tableware for dinner.

While they were only halfway through dinner, the loudspeaker in the village started to sound. Yun Haisheng walked into the courtyard and listened carefully. It turned out that there would be a commune inspection in a few days, and every brigade was supposed to have a celebration to mark the bountiful harvest.

So tonight, they had to gather the yangge dance team for rehearsal. The current yangge dance team encouraged everyone to participate. Although Zhao Yueji didn't like it, she was still mobilized to participate twice. However, only the official members of the team would attend the rehearsal, and they had their own costumes.

"Mom, I want to go and watch!" Xiaodou didn't want to miss this rare excitement that only happened once a year.

Not only Xiaodou wanted to go, but the other children couldn't sit still after hearing the distant sound of gongs and drums. At this moment, they could hear the voices of children and adults outside, chatting and clearly coming out after finishing dinner to enjoy the spectacle.

Zhao Yueji certainly wouldn't object to joining the fun. She instructed, "Alright, go ahead, but don't wander around and come back early."

The children rushed out excitedly, leaving behind Yun Shuang and Yun Yi, who helped clean up the dishes and cutlery. Oh, and there was also Yun Xiaolu, who lingered and hadn't left.

"Why aren't you going?" Yun Shuang intended to finish tidying up the tableware and go with her older sister, but how could her younger sister endure waiting at home? Yun Shuang obviously found it unusual.

Only Yun Xiaolu knew how tormented she felt at this moment. At first, she also wanted to join her siblings and enjoy the excitement, but her "love for learning" made her wait a little longer, saying she wanted to hear why her older sister had come home.

"I'm waiting for my older sister." Yun Xiaolu hugged Yun Yi's waist and acted coy.

Yun Yi washed her hands and looked at her younger sister clinging to her. She smiled and said, "Oh, I have such a great reputation. I can even skip watching the yangge dance? Let's make it clear, I'm exhausted and don't plan to join the fun."

Upon hearing that her older sister wasn't going, Yun Xiaolu's face started to wrinkle. Why wasn't her older sister playing along with the usual routine?

Xu Nianyun remained calm in the main brain space and said, "Rehearsals don't just happen for one day. If you don't go tonight, there's still tomorrow and the day after. But if you leave, do you think you'll still know why your older sister came home?"

Xu Nianyun guessed that Yun Yi must have something important because she went through all the trouble. She wanted to hear the firsthand information.

Yun Xiaolu hesitated for a moment in her heart, but in the end, she compromised and said to herself, "You're right, I'll stay at home."

What if something happens to my older sister? She had already planned the "Protecting Older Sister Plan."

"If my older sister doesn't go, then I won't go either." Yun Xiaolu's words were as sweet as honey.
