The village chief's wife came into the house, picked up a clean rag, wiped the stool, and placed it behind Li Mengyue.
"Come, come, Yue girl, sit down and rest for a while. I'll go to the kitchen and tell Tong Xi to cook a few dishes. You can stay and have dinner at Grandma Li's house today."
Seeing the village chief's wife being so enthusiastic towards her, Li Mengyue felt warm in her heart and said softly, "Grandma Li, don't bother. I have something to talk to the village chief. I'll be gone after I'm done."
As she spoke, Li Mengyue put the things in her hand on the table.
"I'm at home today and don't have time to go to town to buy anything. Grandma Li, please accept these things."
The village head's wife directly held Li Mengyue's hand and said unhappily: "Yue girl, what are you talking about? When you come to Grandma Li's house, it's like your own home. Why bring anything with you? Don't bring anything at all. Let's see if Grandma Li will let you go home with an empty stomach."
Li Mengyue looked at the expression of the village chief's wife and knew that she was speaking the truth. She had a better impression of the village chief's family and gained confidence in the village chief to let everyone raise ducks.
After all, the village chief's wife is so considerate. Looking at the village chief's behavior when he was at the Li family, we can also see the village chief's status in the village. Old man Li, who has always acted like an old man in the Li family, didn't dare to say a word of opposition.
"Grandma Li, isn't the village chief at home?"
"Oh, I'm getting old and confused. I don't know what happened to the old man. He went to the ancestral hall early in the morning and hasn't come back yet. I'll ask Zebao to pick him up now."
"Grandma Li, I can wait..."
Before Li Mengyue could finish her words, the village head's wife had already called Zebao loudly.
"Zebao, go to the ancestral hall and meet your grandfather. When you come back, tell him that your sister Yue wants to see him."
Seeing that his grandfather was not at home, Zebao thought of putting the candied haws in the kitchen first and letting his grandfather eat them when he came back.
He put the candied haws away and told his mother, Mrs. Wang, how wonderful Sister Yue was.
Wang saw her son chattering non-stop, but she didn't stop him and didn't show any annoyance. She just listened to her son attentively with a smile on her face.
But she did not forget her mother-in-law's instructions and made some brown sugar water for Yue.
After preparing the brown sugar water, Wang wanted to take her son to the main hall to get closer to Yue.
I heard that the mother-in-law asked her son to go to the ancestral hall and bring his grandfather back.
"Zebao, your grandma asked you to go to Grandpa, you should go quickly, I'm afraid your sister Yue is in trouble."
When Zebao heard his grandmother kiss him, he didn't care what his mother said and responded loudly: "Okay, grandma."
Li Mengyue saw Zebao running out with his short legs from the main room.
"Come, Yueyue, drink the brown sugar water quickly."
Wang brought a bowl of brown sugar water and placed it on the table next to Li Mengyue.
Li Mengyue had just drunk the spiritual spring water and was not thirsty at all.
But when she saw Aunt Liang looking at her eagerly, she felt embarrassed to say that she was not thirsty.
So she picked up the bowl and took a sip. Just one sip and she knew that Aunt Youliang had put a lot of sugar in it.
During her time living in the village, she also realized that brown sugar was a luxury that the villagers were reluctant to eat at times.
Basically, people only give out some brown sugar when there are guests at home or on important holidays.
"Thank you, Aunt Youliang. The brown sugar water is delicious."
When Wang heard this, she was so happy that her face was full of smiles. She wanted to sit down and have a good chat with Li Mengyue, and thank her for saving Zebao.
But before her butt touched the stool, she heard a cough.
“Cough cough cough!”
When I looked up, I saw my mother-in-law holding her neck and coughing.
