Everyone looked at Ning Qiluo.
Ning Qiluo looked at Tan Xia, and then, under everyone's curious gaze, replied, "Just take my guess."
Tan Xia chuckled: "Your guess is quite interesting."
It's unclear whether this statement is complimentary or derogatory.
Tan Xia seemed to be deliberately picking on Ning Qiluo, always bringing her up no matter the topic. This annoyed Ning Qiluo, and this irritation made her very unhappy.
"Ning Qiluo, we're going to try picking cotton together later. Have you ever picked cotton before?"
"Ning Qiluo, why are you eating so little? Don't go hungry. Let me share some of my food with you."
"Ning Qiluo, are you not eating because you dislike my food? We all have the same baked apples."
“Ning Qiluo…”
He called her name again and again.
At first, Ning Qilu could tolerate it, but the more time went on, the more she felt like she was about to explode.
However, adults don't handle things by flipping the table and saying they're not eating anymore, especially since they still have the show to watch. Besides, her clashes with Tan Xia were so obvious in this episode that it's easy to imagine how difficult the editing process will be.
So this time, Ning Qiluo simply put down the soup spoon and stood up: "I'm going to the restroom."
Then she left her seat.
Tan Xia felt a sense of satisfaction when she finally managed to drive Ning Qiluo away. She didn't know what was wrong with her; she just wanted to make Ning Qiluo unhappy, and that was the only way she could feel good.
It's all because Ning Qiluo angered her so much last night.
Even now, the thought of Ning Qiluo's harsh words to her last night still makes her feel uncomfortable. And that man—she still doesn't quite believe that he's Ning Qiluo's boyfriend.
...
Not long after Ning Qiluo left.
Kong Xiuzhi came over during lunch.
Kong Xiuzhi is Tan Xia's maternal grandmother.
As the plantation's chief administrator, she was the most respected, highest-ranking, and oldest person on the plantation, in terms of prestige, status, and age. Everyone held her in high esteem.
“Every inch of this land warmly welcomes you to the divine Hokkaido.”
The old man's voice came from behind.
Everyone looked over.
Kong Xiuzhi is now seventy years old and only started working on the plantation more than thirty years ago.
Back then, this place wasn't a true plantation; it only had rows of towering oak trees and a series of ancient castles, and Seven-Colored Lake wasn't as famous as it is now.
Kong Xiuzhi's initial job was to guard the castle in the Land Below the Wind, until thirty years ago when the Land Below the Wind was purchased and turned into a plantation.
From that time on, Kong Xiuzhi was hired by the mistress of the plantation because her familiarity with the place was exactly what the mistress of the plantation needed.
Over the next thirty years, Kong Xiuzhi witnessed firsthand how the plantation expanded until it was listed as the world's largest plantation.
At that moment, when everyone saw this elderly woman with white hair but a radiant spirit appear, they were all secretly wondering who she was.
Suddenly, Tan Xia stood up, took light steps forward, took the old woman's hand, and said in a sweet voice, "Grandma, you've finally come."
grandmother? ?
Everyone was surprised at first.
Then she remembered what Tan Xia had said that day: her grandmother was from New Jilin and worked on the plantation.
So, this radiant-looking old woman is Tan Xia's maternal grandmother?
"Xiaxia, do you miss Grandma?"
Kong Xiuzhi reached out and touched Tan Xia's face, her smile kind and gentle.
