By the time the gifts were distributed, the food was almost ready.
Wang said, "Qibao, your grandpa and his family should have eaten by now. It's getting late. You can go over there tomorrow and tell them you're safe."
"I understand, grandma!" Qibao said.
The old man said, "Everyone, sit down and eat first. We've been eating dry food all the way, and now we want to have a bite of hot food."
After everyone sat down, Wang asked, "Wenwu, Xuedong, how did you do on the exam?"
Qian Xuedong said: "Grandma Xu, the results haven't come out yet, so I don't know either, but Wenwu is more confident than I am."
Mrs. Qian comforted her, "Just try your best. If you don't pass, you can just try again next time."
Qian Xuedong said: "Well, I know, mother. This time I mainly want to gain some knowledge and experience. However, the results are not out yet, so I can't make a conclusion casually."
The old man nodded and said, "Xuedong is right. Don't give up until the very end."
Xiao Wu asked, "Grandpa, what's in Qingyun City?"
The old man said, "What can it be? It's just bigger than our place, with more people and more things."
Wang said, "If you want to go, when you have some free time tomorrow, we can all go to the city and have some fun."
Zhang said, "Ah! Although the big city is nice, if you're not careful, you might get into trouble."
The others at the table were stunned, and Wang quickly asked, "Did something happen?"
Uncle Xu pulled Zhang and said, "Why bring that up? Aren't we just making our family worry? Aren't we all fine now?"
Wang's face turned serious and she said, "Boss, what's going on?"
Under the oppressive gaze of his mother, Uncle Xu finally compromised and told the whole story of how his wife, Qibao, and Fuqiu were taken to the government office.
"Asshole! How dare you bully my sister and aunt! I will never let him go!" Xiao Wu slammed the table and said viciously.
The other brothers also looked unhappy.
The old man said, "Gao Yuan has been left with a lifelong disability. This is already a painful lesson."
When Wang thought of her daughter-in-law and granddaughter being thrown into prison and nearly whipped, she felt a pang of pain in her heart. She said, "Qibao has never suffered such an injustice since he was a child. Fortunately, Qibao is capable, otherwise he would have been beaten black and blue."
Uncle Xu said, "Thank goodness the prefect is a good man, otherwise who knows what would have happened!"
Zhang said, "Prefect Wen's family is very good. Miss Wen is both talented and beautiful, and very sensible. Master Wen is no less talented, and is older than Wen Wu. They have a good relationship. Moreover, our Juxiang Pavilion is also very good thanks to Prefect Wen's care. He has helped us solve many problems."
Wang nodded and said, "Then we must thank them properly. We can't let them work in vain."
The old man said, "Lord Wen loves to drink our fruit wine. When the time comes, we will give him a few more jars."
Everyone talked as they ate, and the meal ended with everyone chatting animatedly.
In the evening, Qibao took a bath and went to bed.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Qibao opened the door and saw that it was Wang.
"Grandma, why are you here?"
Wang came in and closed the door, saying, "I want to sleep with my granddaughter tonight. I haven't seen you for such a long time, and I miss you so much."
Qibao said, "Well, I want to sleep with grandma too."
After the two of them went to bed, Wang hugged Qibao, her hands constantly patting her granddaughter's back, and said with emotion: "When you just learned to walk, you often sneaked from your mother's room to my room at night and wanted to sleep with me. You were only this big at that time, and now you have grown into a big girl in the blink of an eye." Wang gestured with her hands as she spoke.
Qibao listened quietly to Wang's voice, even though she could no longer remember it.
Wang continued, "You've been sensible and endearing since you were little. Although you've become a disciple of an immortal and your personality has changed a bit, you're still as endearing as before. But Grandma noticed that even at such a young age, you seemed to be hiding something. Just remember, Grandma is kind to you, and you don't need to repay her. Sometimes, Grandma also wishes you could act like other children and have a little temper. Your sensibleness makes Grandma feel distressed."
Qibao clenched her fists, not knowing what to say. She cherished this hard-earned family relationship very much. It was also the first time she felt the happiness of having a family, so she was afraid of what they would think of her when they knew that the original Qibao was dead one day.
So she cares about everyone in her family, and always thinks that as long as she works hard and makes her family live a good life, she can repay their love for her and will never lose this family affection.
But she forgot that she is still so young, and if she has a heavy burden, her family will feel sorry for her.
Wang continued, "Now that your brothers are grown up, it's time for them to take on the responsibilities of this family, Baoer."
Qibao nodded silently.
Wang suddenly laughed and said, "Look, Grandma has said so much. You must be sleepy, right? Grandma won't say anymore. I will just pat you gently to coax you to sleep. You loved it when you were a child."
Qibao closed his eyes, feeling the warmth emanating from his grandmother's body, and gradually fell asleep.
Wang looked at Qibao sleeping, and gently brushed away the few strands of hair that fell on her granddaughter's eyebrows with her hands, her eyes full of doting.
The next day, when Qibao woke up, Wang was gone.
She chuckled softly. She was always a light sleeper and didn't even notice that her grandmother had gotten up.
When Fuqiu saw that the young lady had woken up, she immediately brought a basin of water and helped her wash and dress before leaving.
When they arrived at the front hall, breakfast was ready and the family started to eat breakfast.
The old man asked, "Second and third brothers, how is the work on the construction site going these days?"
Uncle Xu said, "Everything is going well. It's almost finished. Everyone is looking forward to tourists coming. It's good to make money!"
The old man said: "Well, we have to prepare in advance and make sure everything is foolproof. This is the hope of our entire Xujia Village.
We need to find some people to watch over it. If there are too many people, it will be bad if something unexpected happens. The fish pond at home is quite deep. For the safety of tourists, we need to find a few people who can swim to patrol the pond."
Uncle Xu said, "Dad, I've thought about it. We can find some people from the slums to help us. It can be considered a way to make a living. They will definitely be willing."
The old man nodded and said, "Then I'll leave this matter to you."
"Don't worry, as long as I tell them, they will rush to do it." Uncle Xu said.
The slums funded by the Xu family are almost completed. This is a major project and also a good deed to accumulate merit. The county magistrate also regards it as very important and has hired many workers in order to resettle the refugees as soon as possible.
The Xu family is now quite famous in the town. Everyone praises their kindness and they have a very good reputation. As a result, the reputation of Leshan Pharmacy is also getting better and better, not to mention the Xu family's Iron Triangle BBQ Shop.
After dinner, Lin took Qibao to the winery with a package in her hand.
