Shui Shui was afraid that Professor Dong would get really angry, so she winked at her. Professor Dong immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, competing with such a low-level person is like playing a game. Talking too much will only lower my style."

Old Man Guan looked at Father Guan carefully, wondering if he had encountered evil spirits while going into the mountains. He had changed so much, like a completely different person.

Split the family? Humph! Just wait for your demise, you bastard! I'll take your last name even if I give you a chicken feather.

"Your wife is in a hurry to go to the village to pick up Xingxing. Can we divide it tomorrow?"

Everyone knows that this is Guan Laotou's delaying tactic.

"Okay." Guan's father was too lazy to even call him dad.

The village chief asked Guan's father to find Uncle Qi, who was in charge of the ox cart in the village, and drive the cart to the township, which would at least be faster than walking.

Fifth Grandpa said to Old Man Guan, "See you tomorrow."

Yes, you read it right, Grandpa Wu is the cutest guy, sprinkle flowers

Dad Guan carried the bag of flour and took the money and hurried to Uncle Qi's house. Mom Guan ran to Guan Xiaoli's house to find Guan Xiaoli.

Without Guan Xiaoli leading the way, no one would know where the family that adopted Xingxing was. If they rashly went there without the person in charge, the other party would move the child away, which would be a disaster.

At first, Guan Xiaoli refused to go, but after a few slaps from her mother, she relented and told the truth. She collected 300 yuan, gave 200 yuan to Old Lady Guan, and kept 100 yuan for herself. After another beating, Guan Xiaoli returned to her room, took out the 100 yuan, and obediently followed her mother to the county to pick up her child.

The process of picking up the child went smoothly. The couple both worked in the commune and were very understanding. When they heard that the parents didn't know about the matter and the grandmother had done it, they immediately returned the child to them. Guan's parents expressed their gratitude.

After the trio successfully picked up the child, they returned on the oxcart. Little Guan Xingxing, in her mother's arms, expressed her joy at seeing her parents. Her second aunt and grandmother took her to a stranger's home and then left. The family asked her to call them "Mom and Dad," but she didn't want to.

Professor Dong, who traveled through time, was a high-level intellectual. She had a different level of education, but she didn't favor boys over girls. She loved children and had only had one child for years. Suddenly, she was 20 years younger and had a lovely daughter. Professor Dong felt that she was ready again.

Guan Xiaoli sat at the back of the oxcart, staring intently at her second brother and his family. On this trip to pick up the child, her second brother and his wife had changed so much, they felt like completely different people. She summarized the differences along the way and ultimately attributed them to the child being sold. If anyone dared to sell Guan Xiaoli her own child, they would probably go crazy.

Father Guan took Professor Dong's hand and whispered, "We will separate tomorrow."

Professor Dong nodded, holding the sleeping Xingxing in his arms, leaning against Guan's father, without saying a word.

The ox cart went back in silence.

Old Lady Mianguan, eyes narrowed, lay on the kang, her arm wrapped like a zongzi, like a wounded hero on the Laoshan front. She munched on a jujube. "Didn't Professor Dong cut her arm this morning, and a few drops of blood are dripping? I need to eat some dates to replenish my blood." This old woman lives a very delicate life.

I was discussing with Old Man Guan what to do with the second child tomorrow when I heard someone open the door in the yard. It must be someone coming back to pick up the child. Old Man Guan and Old Lady Guan looked at each other, curled their lips, and lay in bed without saying a word.

After entering the yard, the Shui Shui family of four went straight back to their own room without even looking in the direction of the main hall.
