Holidays are always short, and there were only half a month left before the holiday ended. Qian Duoduo and Jiang Sisi bought a bottle of soy sauce at the village supply and marketing cooperative. Just as they were about to head back, they saw two people walking over, looking travel-worn. When they saw Qian Duoduo, one of them immediately raised his hand.
Jiang Sisi whispered, "They look a bit like Lu Fen and his sister."
Qian Duoduo glanced at them and said, "That's right, it's these two siblings."
After waiting for a while, the siblings came over. Lu Fen smiled and acted like she was on good terms with Qian Duoduo and said, "Oh my, I must say, this place is really nice, with beautiful mountains and clear waters. No wonder there is such a wonderful person as you here."
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "What brings you two sisters here?"
Lu Fen said, "I've wanted to come to your village for a long time. We discussed it and found that we both know people here, so we came to take a look around and also wanted to see what's going on halfway up the mountain."
Qian Duoduo glanced at Lu Yuan, who was following behind carrying the laborers. Lu Yuan nodded, and Qian Duoduo said, "Let's go first. Come home with me. You've really come at the right time. My mother is cooking at home."
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "I've been thinking about Aunt Qian's cooking all along."
Qian Duoduo smiled, and the four of them slowly walked home.
As they approached their own alley, Old Mrs. Liu came from another alley and saw two unfamiliar people following behind Qian Duoduo. Her gaze lingered on Lu Fen and Lu Yuan.
Lu Fen whispered in Qian Duoduo's ear, "Is this old lady sick?"
Qian Duoduo glanced at Old Mrs. Liu and smiled: "She's sick and can't pay it off. It's just that her grandson can't find a partner. She has to see if any woman can marry her grandson."
Upon hearing this, Lu Fen immediately relaxed and said with a smile, "If she ever harbors such thoughts about me, I'll make her grandson stand up and crawl away."
At first, Grandma Liu didn't hear what the other person was saying clearly, but as she got closer, she heard Lu Fen's words and muttered to herself: "They say things are like that, and people are like that!"
Lu Fen watched as Old Mrs. Liu passed by him. When she turned around and looked back, Lu Fen immediately turned back and gave her a perfect eight-tooth smile, which startled Old Mrs. Liu so much that she turned her head and quickly left.
Qian Duoduo laughed and said, "Alright, stop scaring me. Let's go. If you don't leave now, my mom and the others won't wait for you."
Lu Fen smiled and strode away carrying her things. Then, as she walked, she realized she was all alone. She turned around and saw Qian Duoduo and the other two standing at a gate, looking at her. She chuckled and walked back, saying, "You're all here!"
She patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder: "We've already arrived, and you didn't even call me to stop. That's really not nice of you!"
Lu Yuan silently endured the slap: "Sister, you are my sister. We have all stopped, but you still want to keep walking. I really didn't expect that."
Lu Fen smiled and said to Qian Duoduo, "Hey, Duoduo, let's go inside. I can smell this faint fragrance even here, hehe, it's kind of tempting!"
Qian Duoduo smiled and led the group inside. Qian Rao was playing with his son when he saw Qian Duoduo return with a soy sauce bottle. He said, "Oh, my little sister, why are you only coming back now? Mom has been waiting for this soy sauce." After saying that, he put the child in Qian Duoduo's arms, took the soy sauce bottle, and went to the kitchen.
Lu Fen looked at the chubby Qian Yibo in front of him and said with a smile, "Oh my, who is this little fat boy?"
Qian Yibo blinked her big eyes, looked at the short-haired aunt, thought for a moment and said, "Auntie, I'm not a stick, I'm Mommy's baby."
Lu Fen laughed and said, "Oh my, how cute! What's your name, little stick?"
Qian Yibo pouted and said, "I'm not a stick, I'm Mommy's baby."
Lu Fen felt like he had discovered a new continent. He heard that Tian Tian was a girl, and she was older and more sensible. She couldn't play with her as well as this chubby boy. This innocent and naive girl was much more fun.
When Lu Fen saw Lu Yuan and Lu Fen, she knew that they were Duo Duo's classmates, and she immediately smiled and was very happy. She had talked to Jiang Sisi about Duo Duo's life at school before, and now that another one had come, she asked Lu Fen about Duo Duo's life at school.
At this point, Lu Fen, who was holding Qian Yibo, immediately became a chatterbox: "Second Aunt, you don't know, we're following Qian Duoduo, that heartless and crazy person."
The Qian family was completely stunned by these words. What did this mean? Their daughter was such a wonderful girl, how could she be so heartless? If this wasn't explained clearly, hmph...
Lu Fen patted Qian Yibo's chubby little hand and said, "Second Aunt, you have no idea! Being roommates with the top student in the entire department is such a lot of pressure for those of us with average grades!"
Jin Jinxiu said, "This is all normal. When Duoduo was in school, she had good grades. Children in our village who were about the same age as Duoduo had the same experience. They gradually got used to it!"
Lu Fen paused for a moment, thinking to himself, "Aunt Qian really doesn't hold back!"
Qian Sheng asked, "Are there any sharp-eyed boys at school keeping an eye on Duo Duo?"
Qian Duoduo was taken aback. "Wait, isn't this about eating? Why are you asking these questions?"
She immediately said, "Well, Mom, aren't we going to eat?"
Jin Jinxiu said, "Oh, let's eat first."
During the meal, everyone noticed that Lu Yuan proactively sat down next to Qian Duoduo, thus subjecting him to the intense gazes of Qian Sheng and Qian Rao. However, his composure was truly remarkable; despite the Qian family's stares, he calmly continued to serve food to Qian Duoduo.
Seeing Lu Yuan's series of actions, Jin Jinxiu smiled and looked at him, but the old maid was still a bit too young!
After finishing their meal, Lu Fen, holding Qian Yibo, suddenly asked, "Mommy's baby, what's your name?"
Qian Yibo ignored her, so Lu Fen started pinching and touching her here and there. If you ignore me, I'll start touching you.
Finally, Qian Yibo asked helplessly, "Auntie, isn't living a tiring life?"
This question left Lu Fen stunned: "What do you mean?"
"Aren't you tired of living?"
Lu Fen looked at Qian Duoduo and asked softly, "Does my answer mean I'm tired or not?"
Qian Duoduo shook her head and said, "Don't ask me about such a soul-searching question. I can't answer it for you."
"Aren't you tired of living?" Qian Yibo asked again.
Lu Fen looked around at the people around her, especially the child's parents, somewhat at a loss. They all turned their heads to the side at the same time, not noticing her plea for help. She could only turn to Qian Yibo and ask, "Are you tired?"
"Aren't you tired of living?" Qian Yibo seemed to only like this question.
Lu Fen said, "I...I'm tired!"
