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'...
Xu Junhui: ......
Sweet soup, isn't it supposed to be sweet to be called sweet soup? How come it's become that it's better if it's not too sweet?
Huang Qinqin noticed that Xu Junhui had opened his mouth, so she quickly pinched his waist to signal him to shut up.
After she finished drinking the sugar water in her bowl, she said to Zhang Yumei, "Mom, don't worry about Junhui, how would he know if it tastes good or not?"
"I think it's really delicious, the sweetness is just right, I'd like to have another half bowl, could you please give me another half bowl, Mom? Thank you, Mom~"
Seeing that Huang Qinqin liked the drink, Zhang Yumei nodded happily: "Okay! Mom will give you another half bowl right now!"
Seeing Zhang Yumei return to the kitchen, Huang Qinqin whispered to Xu Junhui, "Junhui, you shouldn't have said that just now."
"Mom worked so hard to make us sweet soup, we should be grateful. You should praise Mom, not just say it's not sweet at all."
Although it doesn't taste sweet at all, I can't just say that outright.
Xu Junhui said innocently, "But it's really bland, just a little bit sweet. Mom shouldn't be that stingy, right?"
Huang Qinqin patiently explained to him, "This isn't about being stingy. Making sweet soup is Mom's way of showing her love. If you say that, Mom will definitely be unhappy."
"You can say you prefer it sweeter and want more sugar, instead of just saying it's not sweet at all."
Xu Junhui seemed to understand, but when he saw Zhang Yumei come out, he said in a low voice, "I understand now. I'll try to comfort Mom in a bit."
Upon seeing Zhang Yumei arrive, Xu Junhui said ingratiatingly, "Mom, it's not that the sweet soup isn't sweet, it's just that I've been feeling hot lately, and nothing tastes good."
"I was just out of my mind because of the heat. My mom is such a good cook, how could she not know how much sugar to put in the sweet soup! I'm just suffering from internal heat, and nothing tastes good to me."
Zhang Yumei's lips curled up slightly: "Why didn't you say you were feeling hot sooner?"
"Alright, since you're my own son, your dad and I will go back to the village this afternoon and pick some herbs on the way to make you some herbal tea."
"I thought you really had a sweet tooth. I was just about to advise you not to eat too many sweets, otherwise you'll get fat in a few years."
"If you end up with a body shape that's out of shape like your dad's, it will be a real disaster."
Xu Weiguo: No? ??? He's asking what?
Why are we bringing him up again? If you're going to talk about Xu Junhui, just talk about Xu Junhui. Why bring him up? Besides, has he gotten out of shape?!
Xu Weiguo looked down and thought, well, it seems, perhaps, maybe, his figure has gone a little out of shape...
......
Ever since Dundun discovered last night that Wang Yingxue could eat a lot, he has been following Wang Yingxue around all morning.
Now that he's woken up from his nap, Dundun's first thought is to look for Wang Yingxue. He searches from the first floor to the second floor, and then from the second floor to the first floor, but he still can't find her.
Dundun ran anxiously to find Chen Zhaodi, stammering, "Second Grandma and Third Aunt are missing!"
"It's gone! Dundun searched and searched—but it's nowhere to be found! It's disappeared!"
Chen Zhaodi originally wanted to tease Dundun, but when she saw Dundun stomping his feet in frustration, she gave up.
"No, they're not missing. Your third aunt and your third uncle went back to their parents' home. They'll be back later."
Huang Jianguo and Wang Yingxue originally planned to go there on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Because we needed to go back to pick up Grandma Huang and the others that day, we planned to drive the tractor together to pick up Uncle Wang and the others.
However, Chen Zhaodi felt it was better to go back and tell them in advance, since the situation was a bit chaotic when Wang Yingxue arrived, and it wouldn't be good if Uncle Wang and the others had something to do that day.
Because it was quite far away, Huang Jianguo and Wang Yingxue set off with their prepared items as soon as they finished lunch.
As for why they didn't set off early in the morning even though they knew the journey was long, it was mainly because they considered the actual situation of Uncle Wang and his family.
Dun Dun nodded, his head down, seemingly lost in thought.
After a while, Dundun suddenly asked, "Second Grandma, can I go find my little aunt?"
"Dundun can pick up his aunt from get off work~"
Chen Zhaodi thought about it and decided it wasn't a bad idea, since the two families weren't far apart. However, she didn't immediately agree to Dundun's request.
She asked sadly, "Is Dundun unhappy at Second Grandma's house? Why does he want to go to your aunt's house?"
Dun Dun nodded, but when he saw Chen Zhaodi covering her eyes as if she was about to cry, he quickly shook his head.
Chen Zhaodi burst into tears, 'Waaah! So Dundun wasn't happy at Second Grandma's house. Second Grandma is so sad, waaaah!'
Hearing Chen Zhaodi cry, Dundun frantically tried to comfort her. He remembered that when Sister-in-law Huang comforted him, she would pat his back.
He wanted to pat Chen Zhaodi's back, but even on tiptoe he couldn't reach it, so he climbed onto a stool to pat Chen Zhaodi's back.
Although Chen Zhaodi covered her face, she kept peeking at Dundun through her fingers. Since everyone else was watching the commotion in the yard, she didn't stop Dundun from climbing the stool.
Dundun stood on the stool, trying to hug Chen Zhaodi like an adult, but his arms were too short to hold her.
So he simply nestled into Chen Zhaodi's arms and patted her with his little hands.
She even coaxed her in a seemingly serious manner, saying, "Second Grandma, be good~ don't cry~ let me pat your fur~ don't cry~"
"DunDun likes Grandma's house, don't be sad~ Be good~"
Chen Zhaodi originally wanted Dundun to coax her a little more, but because Dundun was lying on top of her, she felt like she couldn't hold on any longer.
She quickly pretended to be comforted, helped Dun Dun up, and smiled at him: "Okay, Second Grandma isn't sad anymore, thank you Dun Dun."
Dun Dun smiled happily when he saw that he had "coaxed" Chen Zhaodi.
"Second Grandma, shall we go find Auntie?"
Chen Zhaodi nodded: "Okay, Dundun, go and ask your second grandfather to take you there. Your second grandmother still has things to do."
Okay~
Dundun skipped over to Huang Eryuan, shouting, "Second Grandpa~"
Looking at Dundun, who had jumped into his arms with a thud, Huang Eryuan sighed: Dundun really lived up to his name; he almost knocked him over.
"Second Grandpa, let's go find Auntie!"
Huang Eryuan nodded. Anyway, he was just sitting at home doing nothing, so he figured he might as well go and check on Huang Qinqin.
"Okay, your second grandpa will carry you and take you to find your aunt."
Huang Eryuan originally intended to carry him over, but considering Dundun's weight, he decided against it.
Anyway, it's not far away. If Dundun can't walk anymore in a while, he can just carry him again.
Before leaving, Huang Eryuan asked Chen Zhaodi, "Aren't you coming along?"
