Chen Zhao laughed heartily and greeted the old man from a distance, "Uncle, you guys have come to this paradise and you don't want to go back! We just came home and heard you were still here, so we came to see you."
The old man quickly called for someone to boil some water, and asked everyone to sit by the campfire to keep warm.
"We were just about to go home, but we didn't expect you to come. Did you have a smooth trip into the city today? You came back so early?" The old man personally poured hot tea for Chen Zhao. As for the other boys, they had to fend for themselves to feed themselves.
Chen Zhaoying said, "Everything went smoothly!" As he said this, he took out a bag of osmanthus candy from his arms and handed it to Zhuzhu, coaxing the fat girl to lean against his arms and thank him in a baby voice.
The old man couldn't help but scold, "This girl is greedy, you guys just spoil her. I'm afraid her little teeth will rot before they grow in!"
Zhuzhu was frightened. She covered her mouth with her chubby hands, and her big eyes rolled around, staring at the osmanthus candy. She looked like she wanted to eat it but didn't dare to, which made everyone laugh.
Chen Zhao wiped his hands, broke off a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus candy and fed it to Zhuzhu, coaxing her, "If you ask me, Zhuzhu, you can only eat candy so freely when you are this old! After all, if your teeth are rotten, new ones can grow. But when you grow up, there is nothing you can do if your teeth are rotten!"
The old man was helpless and smiled and shook his head, "Just spoil her. Wait until the girl grows up and becomes lawless, and it will be a headache for the family."
Everyone laughed strangely. It was fine for anyone else to say this, but the old man felt guilty saying it, because among all the family members, he was the one who spoiled Zhuzhu the most!
After chatting and laughing for a while, the old man saw that Chen Ruiyang and Zhuzhu were having fun, but Yonglu and Yongyue were like eggplants hit by frost, and they would occasionally get distracted. So he gave Tai Jiye a wink.
Tai Jiye was also worried and whispered, "That's why I hurriedly brought these two children to the mountains. They used to be so happy every time they came to the city. But today they seem listless. I guess they were scared by what happened before. While Uncle Banxian is here, should we give them a look?"
Old Master Tai frowned, disagreeing with his son's idea.
There are thousands of diseases in the world, and he does not deny that some diseases do require methods beyond the scope of medical skills.
But the two boys did not offend any ghosts or gods, but were scared out of their wits after being kidnapped once.
If we can't handle the situation properly and help the two children get through this, I'm afraid the Tai family will have two more cowardly boys in the future.
"He Shan!" the old man called out, and He Shan hurried forward to obey.
The old man thought for a moment and said, "Take someone to help me send Zhuzhu back home, and then bring those three thieves over. Remember to avoid the villagers. Tell Jizu and the others that we're staying in the mountains tonight and will go back tomorrow!"
He Shan's eyes flashed, and he vaguely guessed something, so he readily agreed and went to prepare.
The big wicker basket that Zhuzhu had sat in when she went up the mountain was brought back, and Zhuzhu, who had not played enough, was put in it.
The fat girl pouted, looked at her grandfather, then at her uncles and then at her brother. Her little head almost turned like a fan, but unfortunately no one opened their mouth to speak for her.
Chen Ruiyang was reluctant and begged, "Grandpa, can I go back with my sister?"
Before the old man could respond, Chen Zhao objected, "No, your Grandpa Tai has made some arrangements. You have to stay and watch over them. Zhuzhu is young and must go home. It's too cold in the mountains."
After that, he walked over and touched Zhuzhu's little face, coaxing her, "Zhuzhu, go home obediently. Your uncle bought you a lot of good things, they are all at home. Go back and eat well and sleep. When you wake up, your brothers will all be back."
Sure enough, Zhuzhu was immediately happy. She waved her chubby little hands to say goodbye to her family, then sat in the big wicker basket and was carried home by He Shan.
Yang Lihua was worried about her daughter and kept looking out the door. It was getting dark, but the people who had gone up the mountain, young and old, had not returned yet!
Aunt Tai San was afraid that her daughter-in-law would be delayed from knitting cashmere clothes, so she wrapped her grandson tightly and took him out to visit relatives. When she came back, she saw Yang Lihua like this and went up to her to chat with her.
"Why are you standing here? Did Zhuzhu go out?"
Yang Lihua smiled and nodded, "Yes, the girl went into the mountains with the old man to play. It gets even colder when it gets dark, so I was anxious to see why they hadn't returned yet!"
"Don't worry, your old man is a man who knows what's going on. He loves Zhuzhu like the apple of his eye. He will definitely not let Zhuzhu get cold."
Aunt Tai San spoke frankly. At the end, she picked up her eldest grandson and gently touched his little face. She couldn't help showing off, "Just like my eldest grandson, I, as a director and a grandmother, can't bear to let him get even a little bit of wind!"
Yang Lihua was very good at dealing with people, and she casually praised him, "The child has gained weight again, all thanks to your careful care as a grandmother. His mother has also been very busy lately, and I'm afraid she'll give her share when she starts paying again!"
Aunt Tai San was so happy that her soul almost flew out of her body, and her heart felt sweeter than eating honey.
"Well, I have to thank you. Since the cashmere workshop was built, all the women in our village, young and old, can earn money at home. Not only can we supplement our family income, but we can also stand up straight in front of men!"
The two chatted for a while, and finally waited for He Shan and the others to return. Yang Lihua quickly took the fat girl out of the basket and asked, "Where are the old man and the others? Are they not coming back tonight?"
He Shan quickly responded, "Yes, the old man said he would stay in the mountains for one night and come back tomorrow. It's cold in the mountains, and he was worried that Zhuzhu would get sick, so he asked us to send her down first."
Seeing that He Shan and the others showed no intention of leaving, Yang Lihua guessed that the old man had other instructions, so she said casually, "There's ginger soup brewing in the kitchen. Come in and have a sip before returning to the ward."
