Xia He had no choice but to bite the bullet and enter Grandma Li's house. "Grandma Li, Xiao Hua told me that you knocked on the door several times and even gave him roasted sweet potatoes. These noodles are some supplies I found while I was out. I hope you won't find them too bad."
Li Chunhua started her rambling again, "Oh dear, you're here already, why bring anything? Xiaohua said he's an orphan you brought back from your trip. That child is so pitiful, he's so young and has no parents, he looks only 3 or 4 years old, but he speaks so fluently, he's a smart kid! My husband is growing a lot of sweet potatoes at the base now, I don't have to worry about food at all. Take these noodles back with you, I'll make you sweet potato pancakes another day! My sweet potato pancakes are so delicious."
Dr. Qian finally couldn't take it anymore. "You old lady Li, you've been nagging on and on since Xia came in. When will you stop? You don't even offer Xia a drop of water."
Li Chunhua looked alarmed and hurriedly went to the kitchen to get a glass of water for Xia He. Xia He wanted to say no, but Li Chunhua, despite her age, was incredibly agile and rushed to the kitchen in a flash, giving Xia He no time to react.
Dr. Qian finally had a moment to ask, "Xia, what have you been up to lately? I haven't seen you in ages."
Xia He couldn't very well say that she hadn't left home to cultivate all this time, so she remembered what Xiao Hua had said: "I've been out doing missions lately."
Dr. Qian said, "Young lady, it's so hot outside, why are you always running around? Don't you have enough points?"
Li Chunhua came into the living room with a glass of water. "This young girl has to take care of a child and two dogs. How can she possibly have enough points? She's so pitiful."
Xia He felt that if they kept asking, she would definitely be exposed, so she pretended to drink some water and then said, "Dr. Qian, Granny Li, I haven't been to the fortress for a while. I'd like to go down and take a look."
When Li Chunhua heard that they were going out for a stroll, she perked up immediately. "Go out for a stroll? Great! Let's go! It's been so long since I've gone out with young people. Let's bring Xiaohua along too!"
Before Xia He could refuse, Li Chunhua and Dr. Qian each grabbed one of her arms and led her out. As they walked out the door, they reminded Xia He to go and call Xiao Hua.
Xia He was terrified that they would enter her home and discover that she not only had a sofa and a projector, but also a large refrigerator!
So he told Dr. Qian and Li Chunhua, "The house is a bit messy, I'll bring Xiaohua out right away."
Li Chunhua even added, "Bring your two dogs along too!"
Xia He gave a wry smile, then went into the room. "Xiao Hua, come out with me. It's all your fault. Why did you open the door for Old Lady Li for no reason?"
Xiao Hua said proudly, "I think Grandma Li is a really nice person."
Xia He called over the two little ones, took out a leash from her space and put it on them, then told Xiao Hua to get ready and go out.
In no time, Xia He took the three animals out.
Li Chunhua looked at the two dogs with loving eyes, and Tangyuan, looking at Li Chunhua, shamelessly tried to pull her along.
Li Chunhua took the two small leashes from Xia He's hands and said, "Xia, I'll walk the dogs for you today. You just need to hold Xiao Hua's leash."
Xia He watched Li Chunhua's retreating figure and could only smile bitterly, rubbing her forehead. Dr. Qian said to Xia He, "This old lady Li is a bit gossipy, but she has always been well protected by her husband. She hasn't seen many of the filthy things in the apocalypse, so she still has a kind heart."
