"Mrs. Feng, are you home? I'm pushing the door open!" The voice was loud and clear, belonging to the chatterbox Wang Guifen. Gou'er was the little boy from her youngest son's family.
"Grandma Feng! Thank you so much! If it weren't for you, who knows what would have happened to my silly boy Goudan!" Wang Guifen started to talk as soon as she entered the yard. When she entered the main hall, she saw that Dashan's family had arrived earlier than her.
"Oh, Grandma Dashan, you're here too! It's just perfect. I have to thank your Dashan, too. He's so smart!"
Wang Guifen said a few words and yelled at Gou'er, who was hiding his head in the back, "What are you doing hiding in the back? Come on, kowtow to Old Lady Feng and then to Grandma Dashan!"
Gou'er came up timidly, kowtowed three times to Old Lady Feng, then turned to Grandma Dashan and kowtowed three times again.
Old Lady Feng and Grandma Dashan quickly asked Gou Dan to get up. Old Lady Feng glanced at Grandma Dashan, and when she saw the latter nod, she took out another penny from her pocket and said, "Here, this is the New Year's money I gave you. Use it to buy some candy."
Grandma Dashan glanced at her daughter-in-law, and Dashan's mother immediately took out a one-cent coin from her pocket and gave it to her mother-in-law.
"Take it, Gou'er, to calm you down. Keep it for yourself. Don't give it to your mother or give it to your grandma!" Grandma Dashan said humorously.
Everyone in the room laughed.
Goudan didn't expect to get New Year's money. He immediately became lively, his shoulders were no longer droopy, and his eyes became bright.
Wang Guifen did not come empty-handed. She brought a piece of flowered cloth for Jiaojiao to make clothes. In addition, as a gift of courtesy, she also gave Dashan and Jiaojiao one cent each as New Year's money.
Wang Guifen is a talkative person. After she came, the room was like a magpie, chirping non-stop.
"Grandma Feng, I think your yard is so nice. Not only are the two peach trees lush and green, but the temperature is much warmer than other places. No wonder the peach leaves are still green." Wang Guifen said with emotion.
When she said this, Grandma Dashan also agreed: "You know what, it's true. I felt warm as soon as I entered the yard. Grandma Feng's yard is just like our yards, with ventilation on all sides. I don't know why, but I just feel warm here."
Jiaojiao was eating snacks. Of course it was warm. She had a special reason for planting those two trees. Although, she didn't know what the reason was... Anyway, after those two trees were planted, the courtyard was warm in winter and cool in summer. This had been going on for a long time, but no one had paid much attention to it.
"Also, I think Old Lady Feng has been in better spirits in the past six months. Even her hair has turned black." Wang Guifen is worthy of being the gossip king of the village. She has a keen observation ability for any clues.
"Look, Grandma Dashan, isn't it? I remember that in the first half of last year, Mrs. Feng's hair was half black and half white. In the past six months, it has slowly turned black."
Grandma Dashan narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Grandma Feng's hair.
"I didn't notice that..." Her eyesight was not very good, and she couldn't tell whether Old Lady Feng's hair was black or white.
Dashan's mother suddenly clapped her hands and said, "Don't tell me, it's true. We see it every day and don't notice it, but when we think about it carefully, it is indeed true. It changes every day, and if you don't look closely, you can't tell at all."
Wang Guifen slapped her thigh and said, "Isn't that right, Dashan's mother?"
Dashan's mother nodded repeatedly: "Grandma Feng, do you have any secret techniques?"
She looked curious.
The other people, like Dashan's mother, stared at Old Lady Feng.
At first, Mrs. Feng herself didn't even know her hair had turned black. There was no mirror in her house, so she had no chance to look at herself in the mirror every day.
Shuixiu, however, was very attentive. In late summer and early autumn, she suddenly noticed that Mrs. Feng's hair had gradually turned black. When Lianhua heard what her sister-in-law said, she rushed over to see what was happening. She discovered that Mrs. Feng's hair had been growing back black from the roots. The original white hair had grown back, but was trimmed off, leaving behind healthy, strong black hair.
Of course, Old Lady Feng suspected that it was because of Jiaojiao, but she couldn't say it.
Jiaojiao ate raisins one by one. The blackening of Old Lady Feng's hair was probably due to the spiritual spring water in the space. Ever since planting these two trees, Jiaojiao had given them some of the spring water whenever she could, to prevent them from growing poorly and dying.
The spiritual energy brought by the spiritual spring water nourished the three members of the Feng family.
In addition, she also secretly made dried peaches from the fairy peaches in the space and mixed them with the dried peaches made by Old Lady Feng and others, and gave them to Old Lady Feng, Shuixiu, Lianhua and others to eat.
So Mrs. Feng's hair became darker, the wrinkles on her face became fewer, her legs and feet became more agile, and her eyes became brighter.
Shuixiu's original depression was relieved, her energy became fuller, and she became more cheerful.
Lotus's dry, yellow hair had become shiny, black, and straight and smooth. Her skin, which had always been dark and yellow, had become fair and rosy, looking very healthy.
These are all superficial phenomena. There are actually many changes inside, but they just can't see them.
Seeing Jiaojiao eating raisins enthusiastically, Dashan went over to pick one up and ate it. After he finished it, he couldn't stop, eating one after another, and soon Jiaojiao's bowl was empty.
Jiaojiao pouted, what a glutton! She had finally managed to avoid the raisins that Old Lady Feng had washed with spring water! Humph!
Dashan smacked his lips, still not satisfied, and shamelessly asked, "Sister Jiaojiao, do you have any more raisins?"
Jiaojiao turned away and ignored him.
Wang Guifen, on the other hand, was keeping an eye on everything and listening closely. When she heard Dashan calling Jiaojiao her sister, she chuckled and said, "Silly boy, according to seniority, you are Jiaojiao's uncle. Jiaojiao has to call you uncle, and she is your eldest niece!"
Dashan was thick-skinned and didn't feel embarrassed at all. He grinned and laughed.
