"Grandma, Yan Xi is married, and I am the head of the family. This is my eldest daughter."

"Greetings, Grandma. My name is Liu Shinan."

"Greetings, grandma. My name is Liu Han, you can just call me Xiaohan." The father and daughter knelt down to the old lady.

"Get up, get up. I told you not to be so formal. Okay, okay, it's good to get married. The girl is so grown up now. Xiaohan, sit next to grandma."

"Okay, grandma." Liu Yuhan sat next to her obediently.

Old Madam Liu held her granddaughter's hand with one hand and Liu Yuhan's hand with the other, and asked Liu softly about her family situation.

The more she looked at Liu Yuhan, the more satisfied she became. This young man looked so much like her daughter-in-law when she was young. His eyes were also like her son's, like a member of his Liu family.

"Xiaoqing, come here to grandma and greet everyone." Old Lady Liu said to the girl who was standing stiffly at the door.

Liu Yuhan looked over and saw a little girl about 10 years old, wearing old clothes and a pair of cloth shoes.

She has a pretty face and fair skin, and at first glance, she looks a bit like Liu Yuhan.

The girl called Xiaoqing stood beside the great-grandmother and, under the introduction of the great-grandmother, bowed to everyone one by one.

"This is your aunt, and this is your sister."

"Meet my aunt, meet my sister."

"Xiaoqing, come and sit next to me." Liu Yuhan invited Xiaoqing to sit next to her and chatted with her in a low voice. Soon the two of them became familiar with each other.

From Xiaoqing's words, I learned that there were only three children in her family: her brother, her older brother, and her younger brother. They were all her eldest uncle's children. Her brother was 17, she was 12, and her younger brother was 10. Her name was Liu Qing, her brother was Liu Hong, and her younger brother was Liu Zhi.

My grandfather took my eldest uncle, my younger uncle and my brother to the mountain to check the traps they had set to see if there were any wild animals.

My grandmother took my brother and went to the beach with their neighbors to pick up edible shells.

She originally wanted to go with them, but her grandmother asked her to stay at home with her great-grandmother. Her great-grandmother was old and had accidentally fallen and injured her leg bone last time when she was alone at home. Fortunately, it was not serious.

From then on, no one dared to leave her alone at home. Liu Qing would cook and manage the vegetable garden at home.

Xiaoqing also took Liu Yuhan to see the vegetables she planted. There was a vegetable garden of about one acre next to the wall, surrounded by a bamboo fence.

I planted cabbage, green beans, eggplant, loofah, edamame, amaranth, leek, etc., and they are all growing well.
