ang, are you hungry Would you like a bowl of porridge to tide you over"Dr. Zhang blinked twice, released the village head's hand, and asked, "What medicine did you just give me"The village head and Ji...The chubby little girl, already fair-skinned, wore a crimson dress and had sky-high pigtails. She looked just like a mischievous Red Riding Hood.
When she smiled, her mouthful of small white teeth gleamed, and occasionally, she couldn't control herself and drool came out, only to be quickly sucked back in. It was so adorable.
The old woman holding such a granddaughter, her heart was sweet and soft. She really treated her like the apple of her eye, not even feeling uncomfortable.
She gently patted her granddaughter's round back and whispered, "What mischievous plan are you up to again"
Jia Yin hugged her grandmother's neck and vigorously smeared drool on her grandmother's face, twisting and turning like a large caterpillar.
"Grandma, Funiu has silver! Uncle gave it to her, and Auntie gave it to her. Funiu is the boss now!"
Li Laosi, seeing his mother almost fall when being rubbed by his daughter, snatched the girl up and held her in his arms. He used his rough beard to tickle her, making her giggle as she dodged. “Dare you make trouble for your grandma again”
"I won't, I won't!" Jia Yin shrank her neck, blinking her big eyes and quickly begging for mercy.
Old Man's beard is simply the best weapon in the world, like a steel wool ball!
Hearing the commotion in the house, Tao Hongying poked her head out from the kitchen. She didn't need to see anything more to understand what was going on.
She rushed to the rescue of her daughter, wielding a shovel and threatening to dig up Old Li.
"Are you stupid Why would you hurt such a good child She's so young and delicate, she can't stand to be treated like that!"
Li Lao Si was so scared that he covered his head and ran. Even though he was naturally strong, he would never be able to beat his wife for the rest of his life. If his wife got angry, her heavenly spirit cap wouldn't protect him.
Seeing her father clutching his head and scurrying about, Jia Yin clapped her hands with glee. She turned back to her mother and gave her two big kisses on the face.
"Mama is the best, Funiu loves Mama the most!"
Tao Hongying's heart was as sweet as honey, coaxed and kissed by her daughter Ruoruo's soft little mouth.
"Have a good time with Grandma, don't make her angry. Grandma is getting old, and you've gained a lot of weight, about thirty pounds, so it's not good to bother her anymore."
"Alright, Funiu listen to me. You're a kind and obedient child!" Jiayin quickly assured him with honesty, her sweet and adorable demeanor making her impossible not to love.
Tao Hongying kissed her daughter's forehead once more before hurrying back to the kitchen. The oil in the pan was still hot; she needed to start cooking the chicken and mushrooms beforehand.
Jiao Yin climbed back into Grandma's arms and snuggled against her giggling ear, pleading, "Grandma, I have silver, I can buy a shop, to look after Big Brother!"
The little girl's hot breath puffed into her ear, and the itchy old lady turned her head to smile, but in her heart she sighed.
The whole family only had one grandson who was studying. He was such a sensible and hardworking child. Of course, she also wanted to keep an eye on him nearby, and she trusted the third son's family to definitely run the shop well.
But now the house simply can't afford it. The eldest grandson's tuition is paid monthly, and if it were paid annually, our family would have long been in debt.
Now I have to buy a shop again, eighty taels of rent, plus some supplies, it will cost ninety or even one hundred taels altogether. It's too much really.
The little granddaughter had silver in her hand, and she knew it.
But the whole family, all fathers, brothers, elders, have hands and feet, it's not good to always spend little girl's money.
When it happens too often, over time, it becomes a habit to reach out. Not only does the whole family lose their spirit, but there's also an increased likelihood of conflict.
"You should let Grandma think about it carefully. This isn't a small matter, we can't just decide on it."
"Okay," Jiayin pouted, her chubby fingers clasped together. Her milky-white face was filled with disappointment.
At this time, Wang Yuanwai rode his horse with his attendant Wang Fu arrived, Li Lao Tai was overjoyed and invited him into the house.
"You must be tired from running all the way here! Drink some water first. Doctor Zhang is in the village. I'll take you to see him in a bit, and you can get familiar with the place. After this, just come straight to the village."
Lao Li poured her son a cup of tea that had just been aired out, her eyes full of love.
Wang Yuanwai was truly thirsty. He drank down the tea in one gulp and said, "I didn't tell my family about seeking medical treatment, so I hurried on the road..."
Old Lady Li hurriedly hugged Jia Yin up, "Then let's go, back to the village."
Jia Yin didn't want to tire out her grandmother and wasn't willing to walk, so she rushed towards Wang Yuanwai, stretching out her small hand and calling out in a sweet voice, "Uncle Bao!"
Mr. Wang instinctively reached out and hugged the little girl, then came to his senses. This child is really not shy at all.
Just now, Jia Yin was sizing up this uncle. As the saying goes, "A dragon gives birth to nine sons, each different."
If it weren't for Grandma and Second Uncle's unwavering certainty, she wouldn't have believed it.
Uncle Two was shrewd and smooth, Uncle Three was honest and straightforward, while Father was rough, bold, and martial.
But this uncle was completely different, a handsome middle-aged man.
"Uncle is different, Uncle is handsome, Funiu likes Uncle!" Jia Yin kissed Wang Yuanwai on the face and hugged his neck tightly.
In her past life, she was a beauty fanatic, drooling over handsome men while still trying to be reserved.
In her lifetime, she was still a child. She could be willful and take advantage, no, she could be willful and enjoy it.
Mr. Wang was flustered by the enthusiastic young maid, causing Old Mrs. Li to laugh until she bent over. She still remembered to explain to her son.
"This is the precious little girl of the Lao Si family, named Fu Niu. Your family also had two boys Then this girl is the only daughter in our Lao Li family. Don't look at her small size, she is very smart."
Thinking of the mischievous boy at home and his soft little niece nestled in his arms, Wang Yuwai smiled.
"Girls are good, delicate and cute, boys are too many to be chaotic."
"Well, Lao Si was also waiting for you just now. As a result, he used his beard to pester Fu Niu, and got chased away by his wife with a shovel."
Li Laotai kept chattering as she led her son towards the village. Wang Fu trailed behind, leading the horse and couldn't help but feel excited.
He couldn't explain it, but he felt that this kind of grandfather was more down-to-earth and happier than before.
The whole family quickly walked to the front of Li Lao Si's courtyard. Li Lao Si came out carrying a hoe from inside, and as he happened to walk past them, he said, "Mother, you are back."
Elder Li hurriedly pulled him forward, “Fourth Child, this is your elder brother. Have you forgotten him”
Li Laosi carefully scrutinized for a long time. When his elder brother left home, he was about the same size as Jia Anjiaxi. Even if he had some impression, it had been erased by more than ten years of time.
The most vivid memories I have are of the children in the village mocking him, the fights he'd had with others, and my older brothers shouldering the responsibility of supporting our family. I also remember my mother's muffled sobs at night.
So, at this moment he couldn't suddenly become close to his older brother whom he hadn't seen in many years. He could only bow and say, "Wang Yuanwai, please come in."
Li Laotai was stunned, her heart ached, but she didn't force her youngest son.
Wang Yuanwai let out a slight sigh of relief, admitting that he felt rather awkward.
He felt like there was a layer of window paper between him and the Li family. He knew they should be his family, but after so many years apart, and with his lost memories, it felt awkward.
If Li Laosi were particularly close to him, he wouldn't really know how to respond.
Then, he smiled and nodded to Li Laosi, saying, “Old Four, your daughter is really good. I have two sons, and I've been hoping for a daughter, but unfortunately, I haven't had that luck.”here's a beautiful woman, a man with an injured leg, and a middle-aged woman. They are probably waiting for them at their hideout.""Besides, there is a young man working here who is an insider. The in...
