Huang Qinqin struggled to lift Dundun and tried to keep her balance.
"Yes, Auntie really misses Dundun too~"
When Dundun heard that Huang Qinqin also missed him, he happily wrapped his chubby little hands around her neck and then rubbed his chubby little face against hers.
Huang Qinqin looked at her grandmother, who was talking to her parents, and asked, "Grandma, why are you back so early? Did you finish work today?"
Grandma Huang took a sip of water before saying, "I haven't finished work yet. I've finished the water I brought over, so I'll come back and get some more."
"You guys stay home for a while, we'll be back after work. Don't carry Dundun anymore, he's quite heavy now, don't tire yourself out."
When Dundun heard Grandma Huang say he was heavy, he pouted unhappily, clutching Huang Qinqin's clothes with his little hands, and said defiantly, "Dundun isn't heavy! Great-Grandma is mean~"
Huang Qinqin's hands were trembling, but she still comforted Dundun, saying, "Yes, Dundun isn't heavy at all!"
Upon hearing this, Dundun looked at Grandma Huang with a smug expression, as if to say: Great-Grandma, look, Dundun really isn't heavy!
Grandma Huang didn't even want to talk to him. The three-year-old child weighed almost 40 pounds, and even five- or six-year-old children might not weigh as much as him.
I don't know how Huang Qinqin could lie through her teeth. Did her hands start shaking when she couldn't see?
Grandma Huang replied perfunctorily, "Yes, Dundun isn't heavy at all."
Seeing Huang Qinqin secretly trying to sit down with Dundun in her arms, she said with a sly look, "Dundun, are you tiring your little auntie out?"
“Look at your aunt, she’s so tired she has to sit down, and you still say you’re not heavy.”
Huang Qinqin's bottom was almost touching the stool when Grandma Huang deliberately said something, and Dundun immediately stared at Huang Qinqin warily.
With a serious expression on her chubby little face, she asked, "Auntie, are you going to sit down? Are you tired?"
Huang Qinqin looked at her grandmother with a mournful expression: "Grandma~ why are you like this..."
Seeing that his aunt didn't answer him, Dun Dun raised his hands and placed them on Huang Qinqin's face, asking again with even more seriousness, "Auntie, are you tired?"
Chen Zhaodi and the others were overjoyed to see Dundun's adorable expression.
Such a small person, yet the expression on their face is incredibly serious, creating a striking contrast.
Huang Qinqin was really about to collapse; she felt that if she didn't sit down soon, both she and the chubby boy would fall.
She simply sat down, saying, "Auntie is a little tired, but not because I'm carrying Dundun. It's just that I walked here from home for a long time, so I'm tired."
Dundun was only four years old, so he believed Huang Qinqin's words and earnestly told his grandmother, "Great-Grandma, Auntie said she was tired from walking."
The implication is that Huang Qinqin's problem is her own and has nothing to do with him, so the conclusion is that he is not serious.
Grandma Huang saw that he had been back for quite a while, so she stopped teasing him, gave him a brief explanation, and then planned to go back to work.
Seeing this, Chen Zhaodi and Huang Eryuan said they would also help so that they could finish the work sooner and get off work earlier.
Grandma Huang didn't refuse, but she added a special reminder: "Dundun, you, your aunt, and your second aunt are at home. Remember to take good care of your second aunt and make sure she doesn't fall down, okay?"
When Dundun heard that his great-grandmother had asked him to take care of his second aunt, he was so happy and proud that he nodded his little head so hard it was almost blurry.
Then he loudly promised, "I understand, Great-Grandma. I will take good care of Second Aunt!"
Hearing that he had agreed, Grandma Huang and Huang Eryuan went back to work.
Dundun is actually very sensible, but because Huang Ersao's belly is really big, they usually take Dundun with them to the fields.
Now that Huang Qinqin is at home, he wouldn't want to go back to the fields with her, so Grandma Huang had no choice but to fool him like this.
Actually, if you just tell him to be careful and not to bump into Huang Ersao, Dundun will listen, but he will be unhappy because it will make him feel that his family prefers Huang Ersao.
So they usually change their wording, telling Dun Dun to take good care of Huang Ersao. This way, Dun Dun will not only pay close attention, but also be very happy.
Because he felt that he could take care of others now, and that he was a big kid at heart.
Huang Qinqin and Dundun played in the yard for a while. Seeing that it was almost time, they asked Huang Ersao, "Ersao, shall I cook lunch today? What dishes should we cook for lunch?"
"I originally planned to make a tomato and egg soup, steam some pumpkin, and make a cucumber salad, but now there might not be enough to eat."
"There are still eggplants in the vegetable garden at home. Why don't you go and take a look? You can decide how to cook them."
"Okay. Dundun, will you stay here with your second aunt, or go to the vegetable garden with your little aunt to pick vegetables?" Huang Qinqin looked at Dundun and asked in a low voice.
Dundun kept twisting his fingers, wanting to go to the vegetable garden with his aunt, but he had also promised his great-grandmother to take good care of his second aunt.
He doesn't know what to do now.
Huang Qinqin and Huang Ersao were initially amused by Dundun's conflicted expression. Children, no matter what expression they have, are always endearing.
However, seeing that Dun Dun was almost in tears, Huang Qinqin and the others dared not tease him anymore.
Huang Ersao gave an exaggerated yawn and then said, "Oh dear, Dundun, your second aunt is suddenly very sleepy and wants to go back to sleep for a while. Why don't you and your aunt go pick some vegetables?"
When he heard his second aunt say she was sleepy, Dundun's eyes lit up immediately. Since his second aunt was going to sleep, he could go pick vegetables with his aunt!
Holding Huang Qinqin's hand, they happily headed to the vegetable garden.
It's called a vegetable garden, but it's actually just an open space behind the houses. Every household in the village has been allocated a small plot of land specifically for growing vegetables to eat.
This doesn't count towards the collective income; how much you harvest depends entirely on how hard you work.
Some diligent families never lack vegetables all year round, while some lazy families have weeds in their vegetable gardens that are taller than the vegetables themselves.
Huang Qinqin looked around and found that the cucumbers and eggplants inside had grown quite large, so she decided to pick some eggplants and cucumbers to take home.
When Dundun saw Huang Qinqin picking vegetables by herself, she refused to do it anymore. She raised her hands, jumped up and down, and said to Huang Qinqin, "Auntie, Auntie!"
"And Dundun, Dundun needs to pick vegetables too~"
Seeing that he really wanted to pick vegetables, Huang Qinqin had no choice but to pick him up and let him pick a cucumber.
But Dun Dun wasn't having it. Pointing at the tomatoes and eggplants, she said, "Auntie, I want to pick these~ Please~ Auntie~"
Could Huang Qinqin say it's bad? Of course not.
So Huang Qinqin compromised, picked up Dundun and went to pick tomatoes. She pointed to a tomato that was already red and said to Dundun, "Come on, Dundun, hold it with both hands and pull it hard."
