The old lady seemed quite indifferent. She didn't have any demands on the other party, and normal neighborly interactions were fine.
Qian Xiao had finally come back for a visit, and was so busy chatting with her family that she didn't notice how unusually quiet it was today.
Double Egg was extremely nervous in the space. It never expected that its boss would come to the village where its host lived. If the two met, would that big oaf betray it?
If its own host finds out that it's using someone else's space, wouldn't it be very angry? And if it is, how should it appease it? It has no experience in appeasing people!
It plans to play dead in the space today, and won't come out no matter how much the host calls it.
Sun Kaicheng sat on the warm kang in the house, looking out the window at the distant mountains. Although the conditions here were much worse than in the city, it seemed to have more human touch. His grandparents were living quite well here.
This place is remote enough that there won't be anyone who knows Grandpa and Grandma well enough to prevent them from being harassed because of what happened in the past.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or fate, but is this the village the little system said the host lives in? I wonder if I'll be able to see that thin, little girl. I really want to see if the little girl in reality is the same as I imagined.
Is she a cheerful, outgoing girl with a bit of a humor?
He came here because no one else in the family had time, and he was the least busy one. He took leave from school and came along. He will be going back in a couple of days, leaving his grandparents behind. We don't know if they will be able to get used to living here.
Hearing a knock on the door, Sun Kaicheng quickly got out of bed and put on his shoes: "Grandma, I'll go open the door."
Who is it?
Hearing that it was a boy's voice, slightly hoarse, probably from the early stages of puberty, Qian Xiao quickly replied, "Hello, I'm Qian Xiao from the Qian family. My grandparents asked me to come and call you over for dinner."
Upon hearing this name, Sun Kaicheng quickened his pace. Could it be that girl? The girl who could bring him joy across time and space?
The door opened, revealing the girl standing outside. Sure enough, she was indeed the host of the little system.
The girl's skin seemed much fairer than when I first saw her, her big eyes sparkled as if they could speak, and she had also gained a lot of weight.
Although she still looks a bit thin, she looks much healthier. Her clothes have many patches but are very clean, just like her personality. She gives off a sunny feeling, and if you get closer, you can almost smell the sunshine.
Suddenly, Sun Kaicheng took two steps back, forcing an awkward yet polite smile: "Okay, we'll be there soon. Would you like to come in and have a seat?"
Qian Xiao looked at Sun Kaicheng with a question mark on her forehead. Was this guy serious about taking two steps back? Did she have a bad smell on her? She sniffed. No, she didn't have any strange smell on her.
Why is that? Well, city people are complicated, so it's understandable that they don't like interacting with country bumpkins like us. She doesn't care.
"I won't go in. Just hurry up and come over. I'm going back now." They've made it clear they don't like me. Why should I go in and annoy them?
After saying that, Qian Xiao turned around and left. This family's grandson is no good. He's come to their rural territory and still looks down on country people. What's so great about him?
Sun Kaicheng regretted it as soon as he stepped back. Sure enough, he saw the girl opposite him frown slightly, her eyes clearly saying, "What do you have to look down on?" No, he really didn't look down on anyone.
He is, he is, he is somewhat...
Well, how should I put it? He suddenly realized that Qian Xiao was almost half a head taller than him, and he felt a little embarrassed and annoyed. He was actually two years older than Qian Xiao, but he wasn't even as tall as a little girl. Boys like him care about their image, so he thought he should keep his distance so the contrast wouldn't be so obvious.
Shuangdan snorted in the space. What's so great about it? It just has a space. It looks down on its host. Next time it works for him, it will ask for more benefits and make him poor.
Qian Xiao turned her head and forgot about it. The person subconsciously moved away from her. In the past six months of school, she had seen many people like that. If she got angry with every one of them, she would turn into a pufferfish.
"Chengcheng, what's wrong? Who's here?" The old lady came out to check when she saw that her little grandson hadn't come in for a while.
Sun Kaicheng quickly snapped out of his thoughts: "Grandma, it's Grandma Qian's granddaughter. She's come to invite us over for dinner."
"Oh dear, didn't you invite anyone in to sit down? I was just getting things ready so I could go over and help out as soon as possible. Look at how this has been done."
"Grandma, don't worry, let's take it slow. I called someone in, but they probably didn't come in because they weren't familiar with the place."
"You mean your granddaughter? That's your only granddaughter, Grandma Qian's only granddaughter. I heard she's only ten years old and studying in high school in the county town. I thought only my grandson was a brilliant child, but I didn't expect there was another little girl who is a prodigy just like my grandson."
"Grandma, please don't tell anyone this. People will think we're showing off." From then on, he had to be extra careful with his words and actions. He reminded his grandma a few more times, and she would understand.
Grandma Zhou chuckled, "Alright, alright, I'll just talk about it at home. Go and call your grandpa, we'll go over now. We can't wait until we get there to eat something ready-made."
Grandma Zhou's mood improved a lot after she came here. She didn't like the hustle and bustle of the city, which she found quite frightening. She preferred to live her quiet life.
As for the ideals and ambitions of my youth, they seemed to have been extinguished after the war ended.
When Grandma Qian saw her son Erdan return, she glanced back and asked, "Did you come back alone?"
"Yeah, I noticed that the grandson of that family didn't seem to think much of us, so I didn't go in. I just said something at the door and came back." Qian Xiao was the kind of child who wouldn't tattle, so that's definitely not the case.
"Oh! No way, are you sure you're not mistaken? That child seems quite nice to me. He speaks politely and is very courteous. He doesn't dawdle when he works. He just looks a bit young. He seems to be two years older than you."
"According to his maternal grandmother, it seems that the child was in a coma for five years due to some accident, which prevented him from growing taller."
"Ah! That's that family's grandson. I thought he was their grandson."
“What’s the difference between a grandson and a granddaughter? That family’s surname is Zhou, so you can just call them Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou. They say they only have one daughter, and now she’s the one taking care of them in their old age. So a grandson is pretty much the same as a grandson.”
