Chapter 288 The Strange Old Man in the Village
"Ningbao? So you're the Ningbao that Hu Zi was talking about? You're so cute!"
Aunt Huang's house has delicious food. Come on, Aunt Huang will take you inside.
As Wang Shuixiang spoke, she stepped forward and picked up Ningbao, reaching out to take Chen Muyang's hand.
Shen Muyang sensed her thoughts and quickly stepped back, subtly avoiding Wang Shuixiang's hand.
Seeing Shen Muyang's actions, Wang Shuixiang was taken aback for a moment. However, she was naturally easygoing and, sensing that Shen Muyang didn't like being touched, she consciously let go of his hand and didn't try to hold his hand again.
Instead, she picked up the chubby baby in her arms and gave Shen Muyang a friendly look.
"Let's go inside."
Huang Jinshan's house has a large yard, with both the front and back yards being very spacious. The house is made of brick and tile and looks very sturdy.
Wang Shuixiang was also a hospitable person. She settled Ning Bao and Shen Muyang on low stools under a big tree in the courtyard, and then took a basket and went outside.
"Wait a moment, Aunt Huang will pick some fruit for you."
Not long after, Wang Shuixiang came in carrying a basket of fruit...
After eating the fruit, Ning Bao and Shen Muyang got up to say goodbye.
Wang Shuixiang greeted them warmly.
"Come visit Auntie's again next time, she has lots of delicious food."
Auntie has a little girl who's just as cute as you. Her name is Wang Yuying, but we usually call her Yingzi. She's six years old. She's been visiting her maternal grandparents for the past few days. When she comes back, she'll take you to play.
Ning Bao led Shen Muyang out, her hand in hand, amidst Wang Shuixiang's reluctant gaze.
Watching Ningbao leave, Wang Shuixiang suddenly missed her little daughter. She decided to have her husband pick her up later…
Ning Bao and Shen Muyang left Huang Jinshan's house and continued wandering until they reached the end of the village and saw the sea before stopping.
The two played in the sand at the beach for a while, and when they saw that it was almost time, Ningbao finally stood up and prepared to go home.
However, Ning Bao and Shen Muyang had only taken a few steps when they saw an old woman running out of a dilapidated courtyard at the end of the village.
The old woman, whose hair was white and who looked to be in her sixties, rushed over and hugged Shen Muyang, shouting...
"Shuiwa! Shuiwa! My dear grandson, you're back!"
The moment the old woman hugged Shen Muyang, Ning Bao reflexively raised her foot, about to kick him, when she saw several spirits standing behind her pleading for mercy.
Ning Bao looked at the group of men; the eldest looked to be in his forties and was an honest-looking man.
There was also a couple in their early twenties who looked like a young couple, and finally a three-year-old child.
Ning Bao raised an eyebrow. It seemed that this family was just missing this old woman before they were all wiped out.
Ning Bao glanced at the pitiful old woman and stopped kicking her. Instead, she reached out her little hand and gently tapped the old woman's arm that was gripping Shen Muyang a few times.
The old woman's arm fell limply to her side, but she was still calling out.
"Shuiwa! My dear grandson, go and call your parents and grandfather back for dinner."
At the Huang family home, Wang Shuixiang, who was cooking, suddenly remembered something and quickly put down her work to go outside...
Because I was walking too fast, I almost bumped into Golden Mountain, who was coming in from outside. I stumbled a few times at the foot of Golden Mountain and almost fell to the ground.
He steadied himself and glared at his daughter-in-law.
"Wenqiang's wife, can't you change your impulsive nature?"
"Your father is getting old, I can't take a bump like that from you."
She almost bumped into her father-in-law, but although she didn't, he was so startled he almost fell over. Wang Shuixiang gave an awkward, slightly embarrassed laugh.
"Hey, Dad, are you alright?"
Golden Mountain looked displeased.
"fine!"
Wang Shuixiang glanced outside the door.
"Dad, I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to come back at this time. I had something urgent to attend to, so I rushed over."
Huang Jinshan looked at Wang Shuixiang with a puzzled expression.
"It's already noon. Wenqiang and your mother will be back for lunch soon after they finish working in the fields."
Why are you running out instead of cooking? Are you going to pick vegetables? What vegetables do you need? I'll get them.
Wang Shuixiang waved her hand.
"Dad, I've finished cooking. I was thinking about those two little kids today. I think I saw them heading towards the end of the village. I wonder if they've gone home yet."
I was worried that it was almost noon and they might run into Granny Sun and be frightened.
