Several people entered the shop in quick succession, starting with Erniu, who had just dashed in calling out for the old lady.
It wasn't clear whether it was because he was a year older now or because Daniu was no longer working in the village, but Erniu no longer played as wildly as before. Most of the time, he now helped Lu Dasong with the fieldwork.

Even the old lady, upon seeing him, exclaimed, "Erniu, have you smeared cow...?" dung on yourself?
Halfway through her sentence, the old lady quickly snapped her mouth shut. With customers in the shop, she couldn't be too coarse.
Erniu chuckled sheepishly, and trailing in behind him was Lanhua.
Lanhua greeted her grandmother with a bright "Grandmother!" and then eagerly stood by the counter, softly calling out to Shu Yu, "Sister Yu."
Shu Yu: "…" What's with this shy demeanor?
