Not only were his own grandparents there, but Sun Kaicheng's maternal grandparents were also there, along with his great-uncle and the village militia captain.
"Grandpa, Uncle Shitou, what are you doing here?"
"I was worried about you because I heard you went into the mountains to look for someone. Why didn't you say anything? You could have found a few more people to go up the mountain with you. It would have been too dangerous for just the two of you."
"It's not that we're afraid too many people will alert them. Look at this person, Grandpa, can you still recognize him?"
Using the light from the flashlight in Qian Xiao's hand, Grandpa Tang came closer and looked at him carefully: "This kid looks like his grandfather. It really is him. The things that went missing in the village must be his."
"How's it going? Did you find anything else?"
Sun Kaicheng raised the bag he was carrying: "It's all here, Uncle Shitou. Would you like to come to the commune with me?" It would be better to see these two off as soon as possible.
"Okay, I'll go with you. Go get your tricycle ready, and we'll ride in it." That's even more comfortable than a tractor.
Sun Kaicheng went to the backyard to push the cart. Grandma Qian, holding a flashlight, came up to the woman and said, "Why does this person look so familiar?"
"Is he really from our village?" Qian Xiao asked upon hearing this.
Grandma Zhou shook her head: "He shouldn't be from our village. I've never seen this person before."
Grandma Qian squinted at the woman lying on the ground, and it took her a long time to remember who she was: "My goodness, she's a young widow from the neighboring village. Her husband passed away in the spring. It seems he got some kind of disease and died overnight."
"How did she end up getting involved with Wang Xuewen?"
Hearing this, Grandma Zhou also remembered something. She had never met the person, but she had heard about the story: "It's that formidable young wife that everyone's been talking about?"
"Yes, that's her. I've seen her once and I'm sure I'm not mistaken."
Upon hearing this, Qian Xiao exclaimed, "Oh my god, there's another story here!" She replied, "Grandma, what's the matter? Why don't you learn from me?"
"What's there to learn? Don't you even look at the time? Go wash up and go to bed. If you want to hear it, I'll tell you tomorrow during the day."
Qian smiled and nodded, saying that it wasn't necessary to hear it tonight: "Grandma, you two should rest first. I'll go to sleep after I see these two off. Grandma, are you two going back? Or you can rest here too."
"No, let's go back to sleep, it's just a short walk."
“I’ll take you back after Sun Kaicheng leaves. I’m not comfortable leaving just the two of you alone.”
Although the village is relatively safe, the road is difficult to walk on. What if someone of his age falls and gets hurt?
Grandma Zhou didn't refuse; she was just happy that the children cared about her.
After seeing Sun Kaicheng and Uncle Shi off, and also taking my great-uncle and maternal grandparents home, Qian Xiao went home to wash up and go to bed. She didn't even know when Sun Kaicheng came back. Anyway, when she opened her eyes the next day, she saw that Sun Kaicheng was sleeping soundly.
She didn't wake anyone, but carefully got dressed and went to the yard.
"Get up! Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"
"Little Potato is awake now, is he still sleeping?"
"No, I went to visit your great-grandfather as soon as I got up. I didn't even have breakfast. I said I'd eat it when I got back from my workout."
Little Ga Dou was exercising, so she quickly washed up and went to check on him: "Grandma, I'm all ready. I'll go call Little Potato back."
"Go, go."
When Qian Xiao arrived at his great-grandfather's house, he saw Little Potato sitting at the table eating with everyone. He had already eaten more than half of the egg cake in his bowl. He was really not being polite!
"Grandpa, Grandma."
When the great-grandfather and great-grandmother saw that their grandchildren were not around and the house was not quiet, they also separated their children and gave them away so that they could have more plots of land for building.
The village population is growing rapidly; if you don't get in early, you won't even be able to get a plot of land for your own residence.
The elderly couple are still in good health. They have no sons and live a very comfortable life on their own. They regret not thinking about separating the family sooner.
"Erdan's here! Have you eaten yet? If not, come and have some with us."
Qian Xiao sat down next to her son without any ceremony, but she hadn't eaten yet: "My grandma has already prepared the food. We'll eat when we get back."
"Son, you're really not being polite. Didn't you say you came here to exercise? Why are you eating here?"
Grandma looked at Little Potato with her eyes almost disappearing with laughter: "He's not lying. He came over early this morning to exercise with your great-grandfather. After he finished exercising, I invited him to have breakfast with me. Watching Little Potato eat makes me eat half a bowl more rice."
There are many children in the family, even more grandchildren, and then the grandchildren's sons all grow up. No matter which child she takes care of, someone will be unhappy. So she simply stops taking care of anyone's child. She's a great-grandmother now and doesn't concern herself with the younger generation's affairs, so no one can say anything about it.
The great-grandchildren rarely come to visit them; only Little Potato often comes to keep the old couple company. This child is lovable and doesn't cause any trouble.
"Oh my, it's true! He gets up every day at home to practice horse stance in the yard. I thought he was just doing it for fun." She rarely got up early to exercise, and after hearing Sun Kaicheng say this, she realized she had never actually seen her son practice horse stance.
"This child is very serious. He's been practicing with your great-grandfather for almost a year now. Tell me, how can such a little guy keep it up?"
Grandpa, who was usually a man of few words, couldn't help but speak up this time: "Little Potato is a good prospect for martial arts, you can't stop him."
“No, we’ll support him as long as he persists.” Qian smiled at the older generation in the family, except for his great-grandfather who was still a little afraid.
Great-Grandpa nodded in satisfaction and then fell silent again. He wouldn't open his mouth unless absolutely necessary. In her grandfather's words, "Your great-grandpa's words are very precious."
Little Potato quickly finished his sponge cake, picked up his little bowl and was about to wash it when Grandma quickly took it away: "No need, Grandma will wash it together in a bit. You should go back with your mother and change your clothes, or you'll catch a cold."
Qian Xiao touched her son's back; his clothes were damp. It was only because the weather was nice that he was in such a bad mood that he was likely to catch a cold.
"Alright, Grandpa and Grandma, I'll take Little Potato back now. I'll come visit you both again next time."
"Let's go quickly, go back and wipe the child down before changing her clothes."
"Okay, I got it."
"Son, why aren't you home for dinner?" Qian asked, looking at her son who was walking steadily.
"I'll keep my great-grandfather and great-grandmother company."
"Wow, my son is so filial!" No wonder all the relatives adore him; this child is exceptionally thoughtful.
"Did you visit your second great-grandfather and second great-grandmother?"
The little man nodded, "I'll go too."
Although it was said simply, Qian Xiao understood. Her son hadn't missed a single thing! What a sweet little man! Just look at her son, an absolutely wonderful son.
