Having made arrangements with Uncle Li, Nan Yu headed home, pushed out the tricycle, and rode off again.
After a quick loop around the village, the cart was full once more. He rode directly and openly toward Third Uncle’s house, not caring in the least about the inquisitive stares from the villagers. Nan Yu was doing this on purpose; he wanted the whole village to know that he was delivering New Year’s supplies to his Third Uncle. If the village knew, then Nan Dashu would know too. If Nan Dashu found out that Nan Yu was showering Third Uncle with gifts but leaving him out, wouldn’t that make him feel uncomfortable and miserable? And as long as Nan Dashu was miserable, Nan Yu would be satisfied. Life is meant to be enjoyed, and one must find a little amusement for oneself. Besides, bringing supplies to Third Uncle was the right thing to do anyway.
As he knocked on the door, Nan Chuan darted out like a little firecracker and latched onto him. "Brother Yu! Why did you take so long? I've missed you!" Nan Chuan was such a sweet talker, though Nan Yu didn't buy it for a second.
