"Hey, I haven't seen you for a while. An An looks handsome again. Really nice to see."

When Ruoqiao heard the voice was that of Old Lady Xie, she was a little surprised, and hurriedly took out two pieces of firewood from the stove, then wiped her hands and went out.

"Thank you, grandma. Why are you here? Come in and sit down."

"Cooking? No need. I just came back from the commune and brought some food for An An. Don't worry, I'll be there soon. I have to go back to cook."

Ruoqiao was at a loss for words, "You are too polite. We can't accept these things."

"Hey, this isn't for you. This is for An An. An An, this is the popcorn that grandma brought for you. It's especially delicious."

An An immediately put her hands behind her back, ran behind her mother, and poked her head out, "Grandma, you don't have to bring gifts for An An in the future."

"Oh, look at you, An An doesn't even dare to take my things." Old Mrs. Xie complained to Ruoqiao with a smile.

Ruoqiao was helpless, "You always bring something with you every time you come, how can we accept it?"

"You're being polite, you've given me a lot of things. If you say that, I won't dare take your things in the future."

Hearing this, Ruoqiao felt a little helpless. She rolled her eyes and smiled, "Well, you can't refuse anything we give you in the future."

Mrs. Xie was speechless for a moment, then waved her hand helplessly, "Stop talking to me, hurry up and take it, I have to go back to cook."

Ruoqiao really couldn't do anything about this outgoing, enthusiastic and generous old lady.

"Then please wait a moment. I'm just cooking. You can take some back to add to the dishes. Don't refuse. Otherwise, I won't agree." As she said that, she ran to the kitchen.

"Hey~" Old Mrs. Xie only had time to utter a sound.

Ruoqiao quickly came out carrying a small basket.

The basket was covered with a layer of cloth, so you couldn't see what was inside.

Old Mrs. Xie took the basket helplessly and complained, "Why are you always so polite to me, girl?"

Ruoqiao took the cloth bag from her hand with a smile, "Only if there is give and take, can things last long."

Mrs. Xie was immediately amused by her words, "Well, I can't argue with you, girl. Sihai hasn't come back yet?"

"It seems like it's about time."

"Okay, I'll go back first and come see you guys another day."

Ruoqiao said hurriedly, "We will probably have to go back to our hometown for the autumn harvest soon, which will take about half a month."

"Yes, it's autumn harvest time. My youngest son is going to join the brigade to participate in the harvest, so I came back. Unfortunately, he went to Huaiyang Brigade. Otherwise, you might still run into him. I will be going back to the commune in two days, and I will come to see you then."

Ruoqiao nodded immediately, "Yes."

Just at this time Zhao Sihai came back.

Seeing that it was getting late, Mrs. Xie said no more and hurriedly took the basket and went home.

When she returned home, she happened to meet her second son who was riding a bicycle back home, and was immediately surprised.

"Why are you here so early?"

Deputy Secretary Wang was also surprised to see his mother and quickly got out of the car, "Mom, why are you back?"

"Why, are you annoyed by your mother and don't want to see me?" Old Mrs. Xie gave her son a big look.

Deputy Secretary Wang looked helpless, "Mom, you know that's not what I meant."

"Hmph." The old lady snorted proudly, raised her chin, and signaled her son to open the door quickly.

Deputy Secretary Wang sighed, unlocked the door, and let the old lady in first.

"You should have told me in advance, and I would have sent someone to pick you up."

"Don't bother with that. Don't really think your mother is too old to move." Old Mrs. Xie went in, put the basket on the table, and quickly took out the things inside.

As soon as he took it, he cried out "ouch".

"What's wrong, Mom?" Deputy Secretary Wang hung up his coat and asked hurriedly when he heard the voice.

"This girl is really..." Old Mrs. Xie shook her head helplessly and took out everything inside.
