"Oh dear, young lady, how did you fall into the mud?"
Aunt Ge watched Miss Wenwan grow up, caring for her like the apple of her eye. Seeing the young lady in such a disheveled state, she was extremely worried.
"Granny, meat, delicious."
Wu Wenwan raised the wriggling eel in her hand, looking completely innocent.
Little did she know, Aunt Ge was completely unprepared and nearly fainted from fright.
"Oh my god~"
Aunt Ge collapsed to the ground, and it took her a long time to come to her senses.
"Aunt Ge, please help Wan'er tidy up her clothes. If her mother sees this, the child will definitely get a beating."
Jiang Yue smiled wryly and said, "A doting mother often spoils her son, so the daughter-in-law is particularly strict with her own daughter."
The bond between grandparents and grandchildren is special; as the grandmother, she'll always protect her granddaughter unless she crosses a line...
"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey."
This time, Aunt Ge was mentally prepared and gestured for the young lady to throw all her things on the ground. She would help the young lady take a bath first.
After tilting her head and considering for a moment, Wu Wenwan said:
"All right."
Grandma is right. If Mommy saw her like this, she would definitely spank her.
"Snap~"
The eel was thrown on the ground, wriggling and twisting as if it had finally escaped its captors...
"Quack quack quack~"
Whether it's a frog or a toad, it has already jumped to the corner of the wall and disappeared into some hole.
"Snap~"
There were also small snails and a small fish about the size of my palm in my pocket.
It looks like he's already rolled his eyes and hung up.
Before leaving, Wu Wenwan made sure to mention her request:
"Grandma, please keep an eye on things for me. Tonight, I'll have Granny cook something for you."
"Sigh~"
Jiang Yue kept smiling, trying her best to appear kind and approachable.
She had a slight suspicion that perhaps her daughter-in-law had eaten something wrong during her pregnancy, resulting in her grandson having the wrong personality.
Sure enough, not long after Aunt Ge took her granddaughter away, her father-in-law and mother-in-law each brought Wenhao and Wenyu.
"Third Grandma~"
Third, Grandma~
The two brothers were clearly a bit disheveled, but not as badly as Wan'er...
"Hey, are you guys having fun?"
Jiang Yue got up and stopped sitting on the recliner.
She first greeted her parents-in-law and then led the family to sit down at the stone table to talk.
"So happy! The kite is flying so high!"
Wenhao, who is a month younger than Wan'er, couldn't wait to share his joy with his third grandmother, while little Wenyu, who was in his grandmother's arms, also gestured happily.
It flew away!
Although they can walk and talk, their expressive abilities are still lacking.
Old Mrs. Zhou lived a very happy life, and even her hair turned black instead of white.
Hearing his great-grandson's earnest gestures, he couldn't help but chuckle and help describe it:
"Xiaoyu means that the kite flew away. The wind was so strong today that the string broke."
"Sister doesn't want to play~"
Wen Yu frowned, and what he said left everyone confused.
Fortunately, the older Wenhao immediately understood what his younger brother meant and complained to his third grandmother:
"Third Grandma, my sister doesn't play with us. She plays in the mud with Tiedan and the others, and she doesn't include us!"
So, it wasn't just her Wan'er who was playing in the mud?
Grandpa Wu, fearing his third son's wife might misunderstand, quickly explained:
"Third son's wife, your mother and I took the children to play behind the fields today, but we weren't watching them closely enough, and your Wan'er ran off to the rice paddies with the other children in the village..."
The paddy field was a new experimental project in the village. It had only been pumped out recently, so there wasn't much water in it, just mud, and small fish and shrimp.
The larger ones have already been caught by the villagers. Today, a group of children from the village went to collect small fish and shrimp. As long as the children don't trample the rice, the rice paddy owners turn a blind eye.
After learning the whole story, Jiang Yue was finally relieved.
No wonder Wan'er came home covered in mud and had caught a big yellow eel...
It wasn't that Grandpa Wu and his wife favored boys over girls; their two great-grandsons frowned at the sight of mud and showed no interest in playing there!
Then, worried about their granddaughter, they waited until she had had enough fun before following behind and escorting her home.
They hesitated for a long time at their doorstep, wondering whether they should come in and explain.
"It's alright."
Jiang Yue smiled and shook her head, indicating that the two elders did not need to feel guilty.
She knows her granddaughter; she's incredibly stubborn!
If someone is determined to do something, and you try to stop them, they will not only throw a tantrum, but they will also whine and cry to evoke your sympathy, thereby achieving their own goals.
"I told Aunt Ge to take Wan'er back to her room to wash up, otherwise her mother would definitely beat her if she saw her."
"That's good."
Old Mrs. Zhou felt somewhat relieved after hearing what her third son's wife said.
Otherwise, how would they dare to take their great-grandchildren out for a stroll in the future? They would be afraid of being accused of favoritism, which would put their children and grandchildren in a difficult position!
The matter of the granddaughter was put behind them, and Jiang Yue warmly invited her to stay for dinner:
"It's rare for my parents to come to my house, so why don't we have lunch here? Qingshan and his wife are out in the county on business, and it's just me, Yaoyao, and Wan'er at home, so we don't really enjoy our meals. It's more lively with more people, and that makes the food taste better!"
"Okay, Grandma's meat and egg custard is super delicious."
Wenhao, being a little foodie, often ate and drank at his third grandmother's house.
"Okay, let's have steamed egg custard."
Wen Yu clapped happily, his eyebrows beaming with joy.
Grandpa Wu was puzzled. His eldest daughter-in-law often made steamed egg custard for the two little ones at home, so why were they so happy?
However, he had an appointment.
"I won't eat here. I've already told your Uncle Yongfa we'll have lunch at his place and get a couple of drinks."
"Uncle Yongfa has returned to the village? Dad, wait a moment, I'll go to the cellar and get a jug of good wine for you to take with you, as a token of my respect."
When Jiang Yue heard that Uncle Village Chief had returned, she was overjoyed. Ever since her grandson, Youyin, went to study in town a year ago, the old couple packed their bags and went with him to accompany him to study. It had been almost a year since they had returned to the village.
"Guanghua has quit being the shopkeeper; he and his wife have taken over from your uncle and his wife to help Youyin with her studies."
Grandpa Wu nodded. He had run into his old friend on the road earlier, and after a long separation, they couldn't help but chat for a while.
"No wonder, I'll go get the wine."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue expressed her understanding. Ke Si Yun Lai had recently changed owners, and the owners of the various shops were being replaced.
Uncle Guanghua has been the old manager for so long, it's time for him to leave.
"Na Youjin was appreciated by the young master and became the new manager."
Old Zhou added, his tone tinged with regret.
He clearly passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, but instead of studying, he went into business. I don't know what Guanghua and his wife were thinking...
"No profession is inherently noble or lowly. This is a path with good prospects, so let him walk it himself."
Grandpa Wu was quite open-minded. Of his three sons, the one who was least fortunate was the third son, who died young and didn't get to enjoy the good life. However, his son and daughter-in-law both went their own way and became well-known figures in Wujia Village and even Taohua County!
So what if he's in business? His family is blessed with green mountains, pine trees, and big rocks. Even his youngest grandson, Xiao Shi, is now admired by everyone who goes out, who doesn't give him a thumbs up and praise Old Wu for raising his grandson so well?
