Having left Taiping Lake, Zou Xiaoqing no longer needed to make a living by rowing barefoot every day. After moving to Qingzhou Village, she put on shoes and began living a life just like everyone else in the village.
Sometimes she and her grandfather would deeply miss those days spent living on the lake, especially on nights when the moon was bright and the stars filled the sky. They missed their beautiful vegetable garden, the flock of big white geese, the mischievous Xiaobao, and Brother Xiang who always did things his own way.
In Qingzhou Village, Zou Xiaoqing learned to plant flowers and grass from Granny Hua. The open spaces in front of and behind the house were turned into gardens, filled with all kinds of flowers and plants. The air was filled with a rich fragrance, even in the fluttering snow of winter. She fell in love with flowers and plants, treating them like the apple of her eye.
