Huang Qinquian, as her name implies, was expected by her parents to grow up diligent, becoming a hardworking person.
But reality often differs from expectations. Among Huang's family'...
When Huang Qinqin rode her bicycle back to Grandma Huang's house, Fang Chuchu was playing "Eagle Catches Chicks" with Dundun.
Even from a considerable distance, Huang Qinqin could already hear Dundun's laughter.
When Huang Qinqin pushed open the door and went in, she saw them having so much fun, so she didn't call them. But who is Dundun? Dundun truly loves his aunt.
As soon as Huang Qinqin entered the door, Dundun immediately abandoned his little friend who had just been playing happily with him.
With a clattering sound, Dundun ran happily towards Huang Qinqin. However, Dundun remembered what the adults had said.
He stopped about a meter away from Huang Qinqin: "Auntie~ Dundun missed you so much~"
Huang Qinqin walked up, took Dundun's little hand, and asked gently, "How much do you miss her? Did Dundun miss Auntie so much that he couldn't eat?"
Dundun patted his little tummy, looked down for a while, and then answered, "Yes~ Dundun missed his aunt so much that he didn't eat!"
Huang Qinqin originally just wanted to tease Dundun, but she was startled when she suddenly heard Dundun say that he missed her and hadn't eaten.
Just as I was about to ask Dun Dun why he wasn't eating, I heard Grandma Huang complain, "That's right, he hasn't eaten."
"Because the autumn harvest is approaching, we're thinking of eating sparingly these days. It just so happens that the new pickled vegetables are ready to eat this year, so we've been cooking porridge at home these days."
"He didn't eat rice, but he drank a lot of porridge with pickled vegetables."
Huang Qinqin found it somewhat amusing after hearing this. After sitting down, she asked Dundun, "Dundun, you've eaten, so why are you still lying to your aunt?"
"Auntie thought Dundun really missed her. Auntie is going to be sad."
After saying that, she pretended to be sad and covered her face. Then she secretly peeked out from between her fingers, intending to see how Dun Dun would react.
Seeing this, Dundun thought Huang Qinqin was really sad, and hurriedly explained, "Dundun didn't lie to Auntie!"
"It's not rice, it's not rice!"
"DunDun misses her little auntie, kisses~ Loves little auntie~"
Dun Dun tried his best to stand on tiptoe, but he still couldn't reach Huang Qinqin's face. So he settled for second best and carefully kissed Huang Qinqin's belly.
"Chirp, chirp~"
"Don't be sad, Auntie, here's a kiss from DunDun~ I miss you~"
Huang Qinqin was afraid that if she continued to tease Dundun, he would cry, so she pretended that he had been coaxed.
"Okay, Auntie believes in Dundun~"
However, Huang Qinqin corrected him, "But Dundun, you have to remember, drinking porridge counts as eating. Next time you can't say you didn't eat, okay?"
Dun Dun tilted her head, pouted, and said unhappily, "But...but I didn't eat anything!"
"Rice is made up of individual grains, but porridge isn't!"
As he was talking, Dundun bit his fingers and stamped his feet anxiously.
Okay, Dundun is still too young, so Huang Qinqin decided to leave it for now. When he gets a little older, Dundun will understand on his own.
Huang Qinqin gently comforted Dundun, "I'm sorry, Auntie misunderstood Dundun. Auntie apologizes to Dundun, okay?"
"Can Dundun forgive her aunt?"
Dundun nodded happily: "Yes, Dundun forgives Auntie!"
After playing with Dundun for a while, Huang Qinqin glanced at her watch and said to Grandma Huang, "Grandma, it's getting late, we should go back now."
"The Mid-Autumn Festival is in a few days. I'll ask my older brother to borrow a tractor and come over to take you to the city to celebrate the festival, shall we?"
Grandma Huang was about to say something when she said, "Qinqin, we discussed it later."
“For the Mid-Autumn Festival, let Jiancai’s wife and Jianhua’s wife take the two little ones and go to the city for a few days. Your grandfather, your uncle, and I will not go.”
Huang Qinqin looked at Grandma Huang in confusion: "Huh? Why aren't we going? Didn't we agree on this before?"
Grandma Huang explained, "This wasn't something we discussed before; we didn't know that supplies would start until the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"The pickled vegetable workshop is so busy right now, how could I possibly ask the whole family to take time off?"
Huang Qinqin thought about it and realized that it made sense. However, a few days wouldn't work, but taking a day off on Mid-Autumn Festival shouldn't be a problem, right?
So she suggested, "How about taking a day off on Mid-Autumn Festival? I've already talked to Junhui's parents, and the two families will get together for Mid-Autumn Festival."
"Grandma, please come too, okay?"
Grandma Huang still felt it was unnecessary: "Forget it, let's wait until the New Year. The pickled vegetable workshop is more important right now."
Seeing that Grandma Huang still refused, Huang Qinqin blurted out, "Grandma, don't you want to meet my eldest brother's wife?"
Grandma Huang: ? ? ?
Grandma Huang stared at her blankly: "Qin'er, what are you talking about? Where did Jianguo get a wife???"
When Huang Qinqin realized what she had said, she felt too guilty to reply.
Because Huang Jianguo got his marriage certificate so quickly, no one in the Huang family remembered that they should have told Grandpa and Grandma Huang first.
Later, Chen Zhaodi went to the Xu family to tell Huang Qinqin not to let anything slip if she went back to Huangjia Village.
After bringing Grandma Huang and the others to the city during the Mid-Autumn Festival, tell Grandma Huang in front of Wang Yingxue so they won't be scolded.
Huang Qinqin was extremely panicked, wondering if there was any way she could salvage the situation.
Seeing that Huang Qinqin remained silent and her expression was off, Grandma Huang squinted and pressed on, "Speak! What's going on with Jianguo?!"
Huang Qinqin's eyes darted around, unsure whether to tell the truth or try to bluff her way out of it.
Seeing her like this, Grandma Huang knew that things must be complicated: "Don't try to fool me. If you don't tell the truth, I'll go with you to see for myself right now!"
Knowing that Grandma Huang was really angry, Huang Qinqin had no choice but to ask Fang Chuchu to wait for her in the yard.
Huang Qinqin, holding Dundun with one hand and linking arms with Grandma Huang with the other, resignedly walked into the house.
After hearing what had happened, Grandma Huang was so angry she laughed.
"Great! You're really good!"
Grandma Huang wasn't angry that Huang Jianguo hadn't informed them of his wedding in advance; she felt that Huang Eryuan and his wife had acted too frivolously!
They met and brought each other home on the very first day, and got their marriage certificate a few days later. They knew absolutely nothing about each other; anyone who didn't know better would think it was still the era of arranged marriages!
If two people get to know each other and find they can't get along, it's fine if they don't get married; at worst, they can just break up.
If you get married and then find out you can't get along, wouldn't that ruin the lives of two young people?!
“Okay, we’ll all go over during the Mid-Autumn Festival. You can have your dad and Jianguo come back to pick us up then.”
"Also, don't tell your parents, I already know."
Huang Qinqin nodded obediently, silently apologizing to Huang Eryuan in her heart: Dad, I'm really sorry this time!
