Grandma Wen glared at her, displeased. "How big can a little girl's appetite be? My village has plenty of everything, especially vegetables. Do you think you'll go hungry?!"
"That's not what I meant!" Knowing her old friend's temperament, Grandma Huo wasn't angry and patiently explained, "Qi Bao likes to eat meat, and you'll soon find out just how big her appetite is!"
He added with a smile, "Don't be scared when the time comes!"
Grandma Wen glanced at the small but chubby and adorable little girl. Her chubby little face made you want to pinch it, and she looked like she had a good appetite.
But even with a good appetite, she's still just a young girl.
She's lived to this age, what outrageous things hasn't she seen? How could she be scared by a little girl eating?
joke!
Grandpa Guo watched the two of them arguing and asked, "Should I still buy it?"
"What are you buying? Didn't you hear Old Huo say he brought some? Go back to your painting!"
Grandpa Guo stormed off, puffing out his beard and glaring at his face. Before leaving, he grabbed Huo Yusen, saying, "Come on, Xiao Jiu, let's go paint with Grandpa!"
"Okay, Grandpa!"
Huo Yusen turned to look at the little girl, Qiqi waved her hand, "Little Jiu, you go ahead, I'm going to see Grandma and Mom make something delicious."
Huo Yusen discovered that apart from the morning and evening lessons assigned by her master, the little girl was completely unwilling to care about her studies.
But the girl is still young, so it's okay if she doesn't care.
Moreover, given the family background of the Ji and Huo families, even if the little girl doesn't know anything, they can still pamper her and let her live happily and innocently until she grows old!
Huo Yusen and Grandpa Guo have passed away.
Grandma Huo instructed her bodyguards to unload the groceries from the car.
Grandma Wen has no servants; she has to do everything herself.
Fortunately, Grandma Wen, Grandma Huo, and Madam Ji were not the kind of useless people who did nothing but rely on servants to take care of them. The three of them were working in the kitchen in an orderly manner, discussing the lunch menu, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Grandma Wen was very fond of the quiet and elegant Mrs. Ji, and kept asking her questions.
Madam Ji answered them all politely and appropriately.
Speaking of Qiqi, Madam Ji readily admitted that Qiqi was their adopted child, but despite this, they loved her as if she were their own.
This can also be seen from Madam Ji's attitude and tone towards Qiqi.
Grandma Wen nodded with a sigh and said, "Speaking of which, we are quite alike. Xiao Jiu's mother was also adopted by us."
Qiqi suddenly realized why she couldn't see any kinship line between Brother Xiao Jiu and Grandpa Guo. It turned out that Brother Xiao Jiu's mother was also adopted, and not Grandpa Guo and Grandma Wen's biological daughter.
Even so, after spending so much time together, shouldn't they have developed a bond of kinship by now?
Just like her and her parents, unless... Little Nine's real maternal grandfather and his family have always been there and have never given up looking for Auntie!
Thinking this, Qiqi secretly counted on her fingers, wanting to calculate it.
Unfortunately, there was still not much she could figure out about Huo Yusen; she always felt as if she were being blinded by something.
Well, since I can't figure it out, I'll just leave it to fate.
While preparing the ingredients, Madam Ji still occasionally took the time to check on the little girl's condition.
Seeing her touching this and wandering around, looking quite bored, she couldn't help but say, "Qi Bao, why don't you go and draw with Brother Xiao Jiu!"
"But Qiqi can't draw!" Qiqi's little face scrunched up when she heard about drawing.
Back when we were in the sect, in addition to Taoist magic and immortal arts, my master was also very enthusiastic about teaching us some things about ordinary people.
For example, the arts of ordinary people, such as playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, and studying the Four Books and Five Classics.
Qiqi learns everything very quickly, except for drawing.
I don't know if it's because she has an exceptional talent for drawing talismans or what, but her drawings always look like talismans.
Even though the drawn objects are the same and the drawings are fairly lifelike, they always look like runes to people at first glance.
As a result, Qiqi was often ridiculed by her fellow disciples in the sect.
In particular, the thirteenth junior sister, whose painting skills are unparalleled, is the most arrogant!
Once, on her master's birthday, she impulsively painted a picture of a hundred longevity symbols for him. The result was... a disaster. Her thirteenth junior sister laughed at her for a month. In a fit of anger, she burned all of her thirteenth junior sister's paintings. The thirteenth junior sister was so angry that she wanted to fight her to the death.
She spent a long time coaxing them, even creating a tracing symbol for it, before she finally managed to appease the thirteen little ones!
The past is too painful to recall!
Grandma Wen, unaware of Qiqi's inner turmoil, smiled and said, "It's alright. Your Grandpa Guo is a very good painter and has taken on many disciples. You can have him teach you!"
"I'm afraid of upsetting Grandpa Guo!" Qiqi said bluntly.
Grandma Huo chuckled from the side, "Our Qibao is so smart, Grandpa Guo likes you so much, how could he be angry? Go on, there'll be oil and smoke here soon, don't let our Qibao get burned again."
"Yeah, yeah, let's go have fun!"
Oh well!
Qiqi left reluctantly, hoping that Grandpa Guo's heart wouldn't be too badly hurt, otherwise she would have to waste a heart-protecting pill if he got so angry with her.
Or should we give Grandpa Guo one first, just in case?
In the study, Huo Yusen was standing behind the desk, trying to salvage the painting that Grandpa Guo had just destroyed.
Grandpa Guo stood to the side, glancing at his legs every now and then, as if he still couldn't believe that his grandson could really stand up again, afraid that if he closed his eyes, he would find that it was all just a dream.
You know, when their daughter and son-in-law had an accident, and then their grandchildren had one accident after another, and finally even their only child, Xiao Jiu, was told by the doctor that he would have to be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, the elderly couple felt like the sky was falling.
If they hadn't been thinking about how their daughter was gone and how they needed to take care of her only child, Xiao Jiu, the elderly couple might not have been able to hold on much longer.
Seeing Huo Yusen able to stand up again, Grandpa Guo was actually very happy, though he didn't show it on his face.
"Grandpa, if you keep looking like that, your gaze will pierce through my legs!"
Knowing that his grandfather cared about him, Huo Yusen made a rare joke.
Grandpa Guo touched his nose and looked away.
He said with a sigh, "When the doctor said your leg was probably incurable, Grandpa really..."
As he spoke, Grandpa Guo's eyes reddened slightly.
Huo Yusen gave him a complicated yet reassuring look, "Grandpa, it's all in the past!"
"Yes, it's all in the past!" Grandpa Guo wiped his eyes. "Was it really that little girl who healed your leg?"
Grandpa Guo was still somewhat skeptical. How old could that little girl be? What amazing medical skills could she possibly possess?
"Yes, thanks to Qiqi!"
Mentioning Qiqi, Huo Yusen's lips softened into a smile. "She's amazing, much more amazing than Grandpa thought!"
