There are no diagnostic instruments here, and we don't know what the problem is. Luckily, this isn't the apocalypse, otherwise, with Erdan's unreliable skills, going out would be very dangerous.
Sun Cheng was a little puzzled: "Why did that woman actually tell everything?" Why was she so obedient? Shouldn't she have vehemently denied the truth? Telling the truth wouldn't have done her any good.
Qian Xiao and Sun Kaicheng exchanged a glance: "Well, maybe they were scared, so they just blurted it all out."
Sun Cheng thought about the scene at the time, and it looked quite frightening. The old lady was arrested, so it was normal for that woman to be scared. If it were her, she would also be extremely nervous.
Qian Xiao quickly changed the subject: "Let's eat something to fill our stomachs. It'll be a long time before we get home after we get off the bus, and we can't walk back on an empty stomach."
Sun Kaicheng quickly responded, "I think that's a good idea. We happen to have a few cornbreads left, so let's share them among the three of us."
This cornbread was made from cornmeal that he and Qian Xiao ground themselves; it tasted delicious and had a slightly sweet flavor.
Third Brother quickly ate the remaining cornbread, tidied up a bit, and waited for the car to stop so he could get off.
Sun Cheng was instructed to carry a small bag in front, while she and Sun Kaicheng each carried two large bags behind, making it easier to switch the items back amidst the chaos.
After getting off the bus, Qian Xiao saw her second uncle: "Second Uncle, over here."
Qian Erbao quickly got out of the car to help his eldest niece carry her things: "You guys get in the car quickly, it's freezing cold, cover your legs with the blankets to warm them up."
Sun Kaicheng and his sister also greeted him, "Second Uncle," just like Qian Xiao.
"Hey, everyone get on the bus quickly." Qian Erbao smiled憨厚ly.
This was Sun Cheng's first time riding in an oxcart, and it was quite a novel experience. There was no strange smell on the cart that some people had mentioned, and it was even cleaner with straw and blankets laid out.
"Second Uncle, let's go to the police station first."
"What's wrong? Why are you going to the police station? What happened to you?" Qian Erbao was extremely nervous, thinking that Qian Xiao had been bullied.
"It's alright, it's a long story. Get in the car first, we'll go to the police station, and I'll tell you slowly."
Qian Erbao was furious when he heard his eldest niece's words: "This person is too wicked. How could she scheme against three children?"
Qian Erbao isn't very good at swearing, so this was a sign that he was already very angry.
"Hey, isn't this karma? I wonder if the police station can detain them for a couple of days to educate them, so they won't harm anyone else next time."
When Qian Xiao and the others went to the police station, they were just asking about the details. The three of them didn't exaggerate anything. To put it mildly, it was just a quarrel; to put it more seriously, it was just that the grandfather and grandson were trying to extort money. It wasn't a big deal.
After a brief inquiry, they were allowed to leave, and the rest was no longer their concern.
Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou were overjoyed to see their granddaughter. They had been living here for several years but had only seen their granddaughter a few times. They had never seen any of the other children in the family, so they missed her terribly.
Sun Cheng sat on the kang (heated brick bed) at her maternal grandparents' house and patted the warm kang: "Grandpa, this is good. Do you think we can make this in our house too?" In the courtyard where Sun Cheng and her family lived, there were only beds and no kang at all. In winter, they relied on stoves for heating, and it was quite cold at night.
“Sure, why not? I’ll draw a diagram for you, and you can take it back and find someone to make it. This is the best for heating in winter, since the stove only heats the middle part.”
"I heard you're dating the Jin family's son?"
Sun Cheng, usually so carefree, blushed and said, "Yes, my mom wrote to you about it."
The old lady gently patted Sun Cheng's back: "Our little Chengzi has grown up. The Jin family's boy is good, a good kid. It's just that our little Chengzi will have to be a military wife in the future."
"Hehe, what's so hard about it? I've already thought it through. If we get married in the future, I'll stay at my parents' house when he goes to the army. It'll be just like before we got married, which is great."
Grandma Zhou...you're dreaming. What married daughter lives at her parents' house all day? Would her husband's family be happy about that? There are very few families as open-minded as your own in-laws.
"Aren't you planning to go with the army?" My daughter said in her letter that Xiao Chengzi could go with the army, so the two children wouldn't have to live apart for a long time.
"I haven't decided yet. It depends on where I work. Besides, it's still a long way off. I can't get married until I graduate from university."
Both families understood that Sun Cheng was still in college and it wasn't appropriate for her to get married at this time. The Jin family also agreed to wait until Sun Cheng graduated from college before getting married, since their son Jin Yushu was also quite young, only one year older than Sun Cheng.
"Yes, no rush. You're still young. It's good for you to stay at home for a couple more years. How are your parents?"
"Grandma, don't worry, my parents are doing well. We're all grown up now and don't need to worry them anymore. They can even help with chores. What I'm most worried about is your health."
Grandma Zhou patted her granddaughter's head: "Your grandpa and I are doing well. Has your older brother gone back home in the last two years?"
Sun Cheng shook her head: "I only saw my older brother once last year when he got married, and I haven't seen him since. My older brother said that he would bring his wife to visit you next time he takes a vacation."
"What are you doing here? It's so far away. Just know that your older brother is alright."
When their eldest grandson got married, the road was too far, so they didn't go. They don't know what kind of person their eldest grandson's wife is. They hope she's easy to get along with. Their own daughter doesn't have many tricks up her sleeve.
"Hehe, I just wanted to bring my sister-in-law over to show you all. She's a nice person, and we get along quite well." Sun Cheng knew what her grandmother was worried about.
"That's good, that's good. The most important thing is that the two of them have a good relationship. They'll live their lives together."
"You must be exhausted from the long drive here. Are you hungry? Grandma will make you something to eat to tide you over."
Sun Cheng quickly stopped her grandmother, who was about to get up and get busy: "No need, we can eat together tonight. Grandma, let me tell you about our train journey."
Sun Cheng is really good at talking; he could talk even if he went to the toilet several times on the train. But old people like to listen to the younger generation talk, and it's like his somewhat quiet life suddenly becomes lively.
Sun Kaicheng, with his keen senses, noticed the elderly couple's loneliness, which strengthened his resolve to come and work here. Being closer to them would allow him to visit them anytime.
Qian Xiao stayed home like a baby for three days before her grandmother kicked her out: "You're lying around all day, go out for a walk. Why are you getting lazier as you get older?"
Qian Xiao was hit by a cold wind and quickly wrapped his cotton-padded coat tighter around himself. He thought to himself, "Can't I keep this treasure for a little longer? Where am I supposed to go wandering around in this freezing weather?"
