The next morning, Aiju climbed out of bed early.
She stayed busy in the kitchen in an orderly manner.
Qianqian heard a noise in the kitchen.
She sat up and muttered: Where is grandpa!
Immediately, she rubbed her eyes and whispered: I'm still in bed.
She got dressed and said: I'm going to help in the kitchen.
"Papa" Aiju made a sound while frying the cabbage.
"Mom, you got up so early." Qianqian stood at the door of the kitchen and called:
Aiju didn't hear anyone calling her (because the cooking sound was too loud), so she ignored Qianqian.
Qianqian raised her feet and was about to step into the kitchen.
She retracted her feet and ran outside the house in large strides.
"Ta! The firewood (the unfinished firewood on the stove) fell off again." Aiju quickly picked up the vegetables and whispered:
Qianqian held the brazier and said: Mom, have you finished cooking the vegetables? I came in to get a little fire.
Aiju turned her head and replied: Qianqian, you're awake, take the broken sickle and get it yourself!
Qianqian continued: "You didn't pick up the vegetables. I was afraid that the firewood ash would fly to the pot."
Aiju replied: When you make fire - be gentle.
Qianqian squatted down and carefully took out the fire.
"Qianqian, it's time to eat soon. Hurry up and get some hot water and go out to wash up." Aiju shouted:
"I'll get the fire and go." Qianqian replied:
Aiju yelled: Go and wake up your grandpa by the way.
Qianqian said: Okay.
She added firewood and asked: Mother, do you have any other instructions?
Aiju called out: No more.
Qianqian held up the brazier and said: Mom, Qianqian is gone.
Aiju warned: Qianqian, you hold the brazier and walk, and you look at the road.
Qianqian said: Got it.
"Good morning Qianqian"! Mr. Wan shook himself up and stepped into the hall.
Qianqian said: Grandpa, you are up, and I said I would wake you up.
The mound came out from behind Master Wan and shouted: Sister-in-law, give me the brazier.
Qianqian let go of the brazier and called out: Grandpa, I'll pour you hot water to wash your face.
"Grandpa, let's go over there and warm ourselves by the fire." Shuishui shouted:
"Shui Shui, don't call him - grandpa, mother said last night, we all have to call him - in-laws." Tudui shouted:
Shuishui replied: They are all called - Master, what's the difference?
Tudu responded: I don’t understand either.
Shuishui then said: Mom is so strange.
Master Wan walked over and whispered: Tudui, what do you want to call me?
Tudui replied: Shuishui and I will call you - my father-in-law.
"Grandpa, the hot water is here. Go and wash up quickly. My mother-in-law has prepared the food and we will have dinner soon." Qianqian came over with a ladle of hot water and shouted:
Master Wan glanced at Qianqian, looked at the mound, and said with a smile: That's great!
"Master, let's have dinner." Aiju came towards her with two bowls of vegetables.
Master Wan praised: Aiju, you got up early enough, I just got up!
Aiju shouted: Tudui, Shuishui, you two go and wash your faces quickly.
Qianqian picked up the bucket and called: Grandpa, we are washing right across the street.
Master Wan replied: Qianqian, put the bucket down and let grandpa carry it.
Qianqian stepped forward and replied: The bucket is not heavy, I can lift it.
The Tudu brothers got into the kitchen together and poured hot water.
Aiju yelled: Master, please wash up and accompany the children to eat here. It's getting late and I have to go to work in the Feng Mansion.
Master Wan then said: Aiju, do you go to work at this time every day?
Qianqian responded: My mother-in-law is cooking at home this morning. She usually goes to work earlier.
Master Wan praised: Aiju is really diligent.
Qianqian said: That is.
"Master, when you get home, say hello to your mother-in-law and aunt for me. Aiju has to commute to get off work every day, otherwise!" Aiju continued:
Master Wan said: Aiju, if you are interested, you can come to our house for two days when you have time...
"Grandpa, let me twist the towel." Qianqian called:
"Master, the rice is still on the stove. Qianqian will pick it up later!" Aiju said:
"Sister-in-law, give me the towel, I want to wash my face." Tudui held the bucket and shouted:
Master Wan was stunned and said: This is the only towel at home.
Tudui replied: No, my brother and I just use this towel.
Shuishui said: This towel is very useful. After my second brother washes his face with it, I can use it.
Master Wan reminded: Aiju, you have to remember this! Agreement between us.
Aiju responded: Yes.
"Grandpa, you go over and warm yourself under the table while I pick up the food." Qianqian shouted:
Master Wan replied: Oh!
Aiju called out: Qianqian, go and take out the bowls and chopsticks first.
The two Tudui brothers came over and said together: "Sister-in-law Qianqian, we will go with you."
Aiju held up her feet and said: The rice is on the big stove (a thing made of firewood in rural areas, 1.5 meters wide and 1 meter high). I will go and lift it down.
Master Wan was sitting alone in the hall, holding the brazier tightly between his feet.
He seemed a little uneasy thinking about Qianqian's future.
He exhaled deeply and sighed: Hi!
"Grandpa, why are you sighing?" Qianqian held a stack of bowls and asked:
Master Wan held his breath and said: Qianqian, grandpa is leaving here today, and grandpa is reluctant to leave you.
Qianqian continued: You don’t have to leave.
"My father-in-law doesn't want to leave. You don't have to leave. You can play with us for a few more days." Tudui shouted:
"No matter how many more days we play, I still have to go." Master Wan replied:
Tudui said: It’s okay if you don’t leave, you stay at our house.
"Don't talk nonsense about Tudui! How could you, Uncle Fan, let your own father live in someone else's house!" Aiju limped over.
Master Wan smiled and said: I still have a lot of work to do at home, I must go back today.
Aiju looked at the sky outside and said: My dear, it’s already so bright, I have to go to Feng Mansion...
"Aiju, feel free to go. I will leave after breakfast. I will chat with Qianqian for a while." Master Wan interrupted:
Aiju called out: Master, I'm so sorry! Aiju is so neglectful! Please take care of me, my dear father-in-law! See you next time! I wish my father-in-law a safe journey.
Master Wan waved his hand and said with a smile: See you again! Goodbye!
"Master, the weather is cold now. You need to eat enough. When your stomach is full, you will be more energetic when you run." Tu Mound filled a bowl full of rice and handed it to Master Wan.
Master Wan took the bowl and ate it hungrily.
Shuishui whispered: Can we eat it?
Qianqian held the bowl and replied: Of course.
Holding the rice in the water, he hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth.
Tudui reminded: My dear, please eat slowly, be careful of choking.
Qianqian said: Grandpa, eat slowly.
Master Wan said while chewing his rice: It's okay! I'm used to eating big mouthfuls, and I'm not a woman. I have to close my mouth when I eat.
"Poof" the mound sprayed the food in his mouth all over the floor.
He immediately bowed and called: Sorry! The mound is rude! excuse me!
Master Wan asked: Tudui, did you let something get stuck?
Shuishui then said: Second brother, what are you stuck with?
Qianqian hurriedly patted Tudui on the back and said: Tudui, cough harder, try harder.
Tudui covered his chest with one hand, shook his hand with the other hand, and muttered: My throat was not stuck, I choked on my saliva.
"I think of what I said just now, and I can't suppress my emotions..." Tudui continued:
Master Wan replied: What a word! It can make you so unhinged!
Tudui continued: My dear, you just said that you are not a woman, you can eat as much as you want.
Master Wan was stunned and said: What a sentence! Did I say something wrong?
Tudui joked: We don’t eat big meals like our in-laws, so will we be like my sister-in-law! Become a woman?
Master Wan pushed Tudui's head with his hand and said with a smile: You kid!
"Second brother, how do we become women!" Shuishui touched his forehead and said in confusion:
Tudui replied: That's right, that's right, just squatting and peeing.
Master Wan took a mouthful of rice and called out: "Qianqian, eat slowly, I'm going home."
Qianqian said: Grandpa, sit down and I will serve you a bowl of rice.
Master Wan said: Qianqian, please leave me alone! I am full.
Tudui said: Dear father-in-law, you will come to our house often from now on. Shuishui and I like to play with you...
"Tudui, I'll take my leave today. You guys take good care of Qianqian." Master Wan stood up and walked straight out of the house.
"Grandpa, please sit down for a while before you leave." Qianqian shouted:
Master Wan responded: As soon as I sit down, I will forget to leave.
The Tudui brothers said together: My dear sir, you have a good trip.
"Grandpa, Qianqian is leaving, please take Qianqian away." Qianqian grabbed Master Wen and cried:
Master Wan coaxed: Qianqian, be good! Here are your husband-in-law, Tudui and the others, and even Aiju. They will love you, grandpa believes it! They will definitely love you with all their heart.
Qianqian said: They all love me, and I love them too, but I want to go home to see my grandma, my aunt, and my brothers and sisters.
Tudui shouted: Sister Qianqian, mother didn’t let you go back...
"I'm going back. I'll be back in a while." Qianqian continued:
"Qianqian, you have to listen to Aiju. Aiju realizes that you are not at home!" Master Wan warned:
"I don't care, I want to go home with grandpa." Qianqian replied:
Master Wan called out: Qianqian, let go. Grandpa will come over to see you when he has time.
Qianqian was unwilling to live or die, holding onto Master Wan's legs for a long time and refusing to let go.
Master Wan saw Shuishui on the side and was crying along with Qianqian.
Not only did he lean down and comfort him: "Qianqian, don't cry. I'll take Qianqian away. I'll take you to talk to Aiju and see if she can do it!"
Qianqian let go of Master Wan and cried: "Let's go."
Tudui shouted: You go to see my mother, I will take you to Feng Mansion.
Master Wan then said: "You go ahead."
From time to time, Tudui and the others came to Feng Mansion.
When Uncle Ping saw Master Fan, he said, "Uncle, you are here. Please come and sit in my room!"
Master Wan replied: Jiaping, can you help me call Aiju over?
Uncle Ping stretched out his feet and said: Uncle, please come to my room and wait for a while.
Master Wan shouted: "Jia Ping, come here, I have something to say to you."
Uncle Ping took back his feet and muttered: Uncle, what else do you have to say!
Master Wan poked his head and said softly: "Hold Qianqian for me, and don't let her follow me. I have to go home now. I don't want to waste any more time, her!"
Uncle Ping glanced at Qianqian and replied: I understand.
Master Wan moved and shouted: Goodbye Qianqian! Grandpa is gone.
Qianqian desperately chased forward and said: Grandpa, wait for me.
Uncle Ping grabbed Qianqian with one hand.
Qianqian cried bitterly: Grandpa lied to me, you said you would take Qianqian home.
Master Wan shouted: Qianqian, grandpa won’t lie to you. Grandpa will come to play with you in a few days.
Qianqian struggled and said: Uncle Ping, let Qianqian go.
Uncle Ping advised: Qianqian, your grandfather has other things to do today, and he asked me to keep you.
Qianqian said hoarsely: Grandpa.
"Sister-in-law, if your grandfather refuses to take you back, you will stay here. This will always be your home." Tudui said:
Qianqian had runny noses and tears as she watched her grandfather disappear from her sight.
Uncle Ping let go of Qianqian and called out: Tudui, you sit here with Qianqian for a while, and I'll call your mother over.
Tudu responded: Uncle Ping, go ahead!
Qianqian lowered her head and cried: Grandpa, I want to go home, I want to go home.
Tudui said: Sister Qianqian, you can live in my house with peace of mind. Our family will not beat you, let alone scold you. My mother has no daughter, so she will treat you like her own daughter.
In addition, there is not much age difference between us. Shuishui and I will play with you...
"If anyone bullies you, I promise not to end it with him." Tudui promised:
Qianqian said nothing, and choked with sobs from time to time: Uh, uh.
"Qianqian, don't be sad!" Uncle Fan walked out.
Qianqian turned around and ran straight towards Fan Bo.
She hugged Uncle Fan tightly and cried: Uncle, grandpa lied to Qianqian. In order to leave Qianqian, he deliberately tricked me into coming here. He asked Uncle Ping to hold me!
Uncle Fan patted Qianqian on the back and said: Qianqian, be good, grandpa is really busy with something, and he can't take care of you. Now you have stones, Aiju, and Tudui, they will take care of you. , you are always so sad! We will also be sad.
"Uncle, will you leave Qianqian!" Qianqian choked and said:
"Silly boy, why did I leave you?" Fan Bo replied:
"Xiaofanzi." Uncle Ping led Aiju over and called:
Fan Bo raised his index finger and shushed: Shhh~
Qianqian wiped her tears and said: You are not allowed to avoid Qianqian in the future.
Uncle Fan replied: "Don't hide."
Uncle Ping called out: Xiaowenzi, you and Aiju come into the house (the house where Uncle Ping lives is built next to the gate of the mansion).
Uncle Fan took a step forward and whispered: You were startled as soon as you came out. What on earth do you want to do?
Ping Bo said: What can I do! I can eat you!
Uncle Fan continued: "It's hard to say for a lazy person like you."
Uncle Ping closed the door and replied: I want to eat those young people too. I can't even chew old bones like you.
Uncle Fan said: You think I am old, you are one year older than me.
Ping Bo asked: Aiju, what happened yesterday?
Aiju closed her mouth and said nothing.
Fan Bo called out: Aiju, please explain it clearly to us! When I was at your house yesterday, I felt something was wrong! I have tried my best not to persuade my father, Youzhihua, and my mother, if you say a few words to my father, my father will go home obediently.
And not a single word of complaint.
"Yes! There must be something hidden in the middle." Uncle Ping continued:
Aiju muttered: You, please stop asking.
Fan Bo said: Aiju, you are in front of us, what do you have to worry about! That’s what you say.
Aiju looked outside the door and whispered: My father-in-law made an agreement with me.
"How to make a three-chapter agreement!" Fan Bo replied:
Aiju said:
One is: Before Qianqian turned 20, she was Shitou's wife. After Qianqian turns 20, she will no longer be subject to the restrictions.
The second is: Tudu cannot be engaged. After Qianqian turned 20 years old and the stone had not come back, Qianqian got married to Tudu.
The third is: We can never send Qianqian back to her parents’ home.
"Bang" Qianqian leaned against the door and fell in.
Uncle Ping shouted: Qianqian, Qianqian, I didn't fasten the door tightly, you fell down!
Qianqian hugged her body with her hands and remained silent.
Aiju stepped forward, supported Qianqian and walked home slowly.
