Chou Chou sat on the tree trunk, swinging her short legs. "Brother, bring Xiao Sheng up here and let him sit with me. I'll watch over him."
They're all my nephews, so let's play together if we want.
"Uncle, carry Xiao Sheng upstairs."
Xie Lin looked down and saw the little guy already waiting expectantly with his chubby little hands outstretched. What could he say?
Alright, let's all turn into monkeys.
Let's go!
"Sit tight and hold on, or you'll break your legs or arms if you fall."
"Okay, Uncle."
Hong Suying smiled and sighed, looking as if she shared a similar plight.
“My son is also naughty. He loves to climb trees, and no matter what we say, he won’t listen. He only cares about having fun and doesn’t care if the adults are worried.”
"Luckily, my Miaomiao is obedient. Ah, girls are so well-behaved."
Grandma Xiao's gaze was fixed on the tree, but that didn't stop her from continuing the conversation.
"It's in children's nature to love to play. As long as it doesn't endanger their lives, there's nothing wrong with them playing. Moving around more is good for their health."
“That makes sense. Children should eat and play. Families like ours don’t need to rely on their children to work for a living.”
"If you were born in the countryside, let alone when you're over ten, even five or six-year-olds would be working in the fields. How could you be this old and still hanging in trees to play? If you climb that high and fall, wouldn't the adults be worried?"
"My daughter Miaomiao has never caused any trouble for the adults since she was little, which is why I love this little girl."
Old Mrs. Xiao glanced at her out of the corner of her eye.
Her great-grandchildren are only nine years old at most, how old can they be? Isn't she just implying that her well-behaved granddaughter doesn't act like a girl?
Ha, it's none of her business.
Just as she was about to stab her, Xie Lin came in with two bunches of grapes, each one very juicy and quite large.
"Grandma, Eighth Sister-in-law, here's some food for you."
"Xiao Xie, we won't eat it. You can save it for Shishi." Grandma Xiao refused.
Xie Lin gave it all to Chen Jing, saying, "Eighth Sister-in-law, please wash it clean for Grandma to eat. Shishi is still picking over there; there are several bunches."
"Okay, I'll wash it clean right away, and Grandma Hong can have a taste too."
As the three were talking, they didn't notice that Hong Suying panicked the moment she saw Xie Lin's face and could no longer sit still.
"No need, I have things to do at home, I'll head back now. Lao Luo, I'll come and bother you another day."
She walked rather fast, as if she were being chased by a ghost, leaving Grandma Xiao and Chen Jing completely baffled.
