Chapter 107, 107 begins acceptance.
Sweetie ran back again and saw Su Xiao adding water to the geese's feeding trough from afar.
Su Xiao looked up and saw the little girl dawdling behind a tree not far away, peeking at her. She found it amusing, stood up, and waved to her.
Sweetie smiled sweetly and finally came over.
"Sweetie, do people come to clean the chicken coops, duck coops, and goose coops here regularly?"
The little girl was too shy, so Su Xiao planned to ask some questions to ease the awkwardness between them. It would also be a good opportunity for her to find out about things here, killing two birds with one stone.
She knew the answer to this question. Sweetie said happily, "Yes, Grandpa Gong and the others clean the house twice a day, morning and evening. They also feed the animals."
"Oh, that makes things easy for me. I just have to collect the eggs. But I didn't collect many when I went in. Sweetie, do you know when is a good time to go in and collect them?"
Sweetie tilted her head and thought for a moment, "In the past, Aunt Wang would only come over after the grandfathers finished cutting pig feed. She would collect it twice in the morning, and she would come over twice in the afternoon when the grandfathers were cleaning the pigsty."
Su Xiao was dumbfounded; it felt like she had said something and then not said anything at all.
However, considering they probably didn't have watches, they could only estimate the time.
Su Xiao started making conversation again, and before long, Tian Niu was able to ask her questions on her own initiative even when Su Xiao didn't ask.
Su Xiao took out the fruit candy again and handed it to Tian Niu, smiling, "Thank you for answering my question. This is to thank you. Can you accept my thanks?"
Sweetie was slightly taken aback and didn't move for a while, so Su Xiao just held it up and waited for her, showing great patience.
After a long while, a sound came from the foot of the mountain. Sweetie seemed to be awakened and cheered, "Grandpa and the others are back."
"Yes, they're back," Su Xiaoyang said with a smile. "So, Sweetie, would you like to accept my thank-you gift and then go find them?"
Sweetie's face turned as red as an apple. She smiled shyly, reached out and picked up the fruit candy, and thanked her obediently, "Thank you, sister. I'll go find Grandpa first, and I'll come back to help you collect eggs later."
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Su Xiao smiled and waved at her. "Go ahead."
Sweetie, clutching the candy, skipped and hopped towards the foot of the mountain.
"Grandpa Gong, Grandpa Hua, Grandpa Cai, brother..."
Her cheers could be heard from afar, and several elderly people with gray hair smiled.
Old Man Gong, limping, walked quickly, even more nimbly than those with good legs. He said cheerfully, "Sweetie is here. The little girl seems quite happy today."
"Yes." The old man had completely white hair and a white beard, giving him a somewhat otherworldly appearance.
Old Cai didn't say anything, but his smile widened.
Tian Sheng walked at the very back, the carrying pole on his shoulder bent under the weight of the two baskets in front and behind.
He was tall and strong, with a steady gait, and the muscles on his arms gave people a sense of security.
"Sweetie, come here, look what Grandpa Hua picked for you." Old Man Hua rummaged in his pocket and pulled out a handful of wild loquats.
"Loquat, thank you, Grandpa Flower." Sweetie's eyes lit up as she happily accepted the gift and carefully put it into her pocket.
"Hey, old man Hua, when did you pick these loquats? Why didn't you tell me? We could have picked more together." Old man Gong felt a little envious seeing that old man Hua had made the little girl happy.
"They've all been pecked by birds, there aren't many good ones left," the old man replied dismissively, though he had his own ulterior motives.
