"This is for you to repair your roof. We just saw that your roof was broken, and since we had some free time, we thought we'd help you repair it."

Although Xu Junhui didn't know why Dr. Zhong asked this question, he still answered honestly.

Huang Qinqin had a guess in her mind, and she was not so nervous anymore.

If she wasn't mistaken, then Dr. Zhong would probably grant her request.

Sure enough, Dr. Zhong's next sentence confirmed Huang Qinqin's guess.

"Well then, thank you in advance for helping us fix the roof. But we won't let you do it for nothing, how about this?"

Dr. Zhong paused for a moment, then continued, "In exchange, I'll reluctantly teach your wife some American English."

Upon hearing this, Huang Qinqin was overjoyed and thanked him with a beaming smile, saying, "Thank you, Grandpa Zhong!"

"However, I won't be the one coming to learn, because I'm pregnant now and it's not very convenient for me to move around."

"So my husband's sister will come over, and then she'll teach me after she gets home. Does that sound alright?"

Dr. Zhong waved his hand dismissively: "Whatever, I'm only responsible for teaching. It doesn't matter who comes to learn."

With the most important matter resolved today in Huangjia Village, Xu Junhui could focus on repairing the roof of the cowshed while the others handed him straw from below.

With many hands making light work, Xu Junhui repaired the entire roof with straw in about an hour.

Then Xu Junhui and Huang Qinqin took Dundun back to Grandpa Huang's house.

After returning to Grandpa Huang's house, Huang Qinqin took out the tin frog she had promised to buy for Dundun from her handbag.

"DunDun, look what this is!"

Huang Qinqin handed the tin frog to Dundun, anticipating his reaction upon seeing it.

Dun Dun had completely forgotten that Huang Qinqin had promised to buy him a tin frog last time, but now that he suddenly saw it, he clapped his hands excitedly.

Wow~ It's a tin frog!

"Thank you, Auntie! DunDun loves it so much~ Chu Chu~"

After Dun Dun took the tin frog with both hands, he immediately kissed Huang Qinqin's face twice, and then excitedly started playing with the tin frog on the ground.

Although Dun Dun had never played with a tin frog, he had seen a child in the village play with one. It was because of that child that Dun Dun wanted a tin frog.

Dun Dun awkwardly wound up the tin frog, and the tin frog jumped up.

Dun Dun jumped up along with it, excitedly shouting, "Wow~ Dun Dun has a tin frog too~"

Huang Qinqin and Xu Junhui watched Dundun playing in the yard. Xu Junhui said with a thought, "Honey, do you think we should invite Dundun to stay at our house for a while?"

"Hmm? Why did you suddenly have this idea?"

Huang Qinqin doesn't mind, but Dundun might not be willing. If it's only for a day or two, it's fine, but if it goes on for a long time, Dundun will definitely miss his mother.

Xu Junhui rested his chin on his hand and said innocently, "I was thinking, if you saw Dundun often before you gave birth, would our child be as good-looking as Dundun?"

"puff!"

"What nonsense are you spouting? Besides, you and I are both good-looking, so the baby certainly won't be ugly either."

"Seems so, haha." Xu Junhui scratched his head sheepishly.

Because some members of the Huang family had gone to work in the fields or to the pickled vegetable workshop, Huang Qinqin and Xu Junhui could only wait here for someone to return before leaving.

Huang Qinqin asked Dundun and learned that recently he had been going back and forth between the cowshed and the pickled vegetable workshop.

Even Huang Ersao has recently been taking Kang Kang to work at the pickled vegetable workshop, so Dun Dun can only be left to roam freely.

When Grandma Huang got home, she saw Huang Qinqin and Xu Junhui there and quickly asked, "Qinqin, Junhui, when did you arrive?"

"Why didn't you say you were coming back? Stay for lunch."

"Grandma, you're off work so soon?"

Huang Qinqin checked the time and was somewhat surprised that Grandma Huang had finished work so early; it was only a little before eleven o'clock.

"We're not going to eat. We have things to do back in the city later."

Actually, it wasn't that something had happened, but Huang Qinqin guessed that Xu Hongxia and the others at home must also be anxious to know the result.

After all, this is related to whether Xu Hongxia can learn a foreign language and whether she can get a job in a department store after graduation.

"Alright, if you have anything else to do, I won't keep you any longer."

"I haven't finished work yet. I came back to use the restroom. You guys can go back first if you have something to do. I'll take Dundun to the workshop later."

When Grandma Huang heard that they had something to do and saw Dun Dun in the yard, she knew that they must have been waiting for Dun Dun to come home because they were worried about leaving him alone.

Huang Qinqin was about to get up and leave when she suddenly remembered that she hadn't discussed Xu Hongxia's matter with Grandma Huang and the others.

Although Xu Hongxia no longer lived at the Huang family's house, Xu Weiguo could only pick her up and drop her off in the morning and evening.

Therefore, Xu Hongxia could only eat and take a nap in Huangjia Village at noon.

Even if Zhang Yumei would definitely send Xu Hongxia with food, you still need to let her know in advance if you're going to team up with someone else.

As for the room for the afternoon nap, that's actually easy to solve. Huang Qinqin and her family's room here is empty and no one lives there.

Grandpa Huang originally thought that since Huang Eryuan and the others had moved to the city, there was no need to leave two rooms for them.

Why not just let Uncle Huang and his family move in? That way, we won't need to expand the building, and we can save some money.

However, Grandma Huang sternly rejected this suggestion, saying, "The second son and his family have a house in the city, that's their business."

“We only have two sons, so everything should be divided equally. How can we give his things to the eldest son just because the younger one is successful?”

"Besides, won't the second brother and his siblings come home during holidays? If they come back and find that they don't even have a room, they'll be so heartbroken."

So, the Huang family still had their own room.

Later, as Huang Jiancai and his family grew up, the house was expanded, and Huang Eryuan's family had four rooms instead of two.

So Huang Qinqin sat down again, intending to discuss Xu Hongxia's matter with Grandma Huang after she finished using the restroom.

Seeing that she had sat down again, Xu Junhui didn't ask any questions and simply sat down with Huang Qinqin.

Xu Junhui believed that his wife must have her reasons for doing this. Following her lead was the right thing to do.

When Grandma Huang came out of the restroom, she found Huang Qinqin and the others still there. She asked in surprise, "Qin'er, didn't you say you had something to do back in the city?"

"Why haven't you gone back yet?"
