That day, Lin Wanwan returned home and saw a bag of brown rice and a bag of corn at the door. The old aunt in the back room saw her coming back and hurried forward.
"Wan girl, you are back. Your uncles from your maternal grandparents came just now. They brought food for you, but you were not at home. They saw me and asked me to tell you!"
"Thank you, auntie! I'll go to my grandparents' house later!"
In the evening, she and Xiaobai sat in the yard to digest their food and talked about her grandparents' home.
"Sister, I only remember meeting my grandparents once, but my uncles often came to visit us. My young uncle was very nice and even made a grass katydid for me. Unfortunately, it was snatched away by Erniu and his friends..."
"What does Xiaobai think of the other uncles?"
"Well... my eldest uncle doesn't talk much, but he always brings delicious fruits when he comes. My second uncle has a bad temper and always scolds me. My third uncle always likes to take me flying high and puts me on his neck. My youngest uncle likes to laugh a lot and is very handsome. He looks a bit like my mother. My third uncle also said that he looks the most like my mother! What do you think, sister?"
"Yeah, like."
"Hehe, my sister thinks so too, so they must be very similar! I think mom must be very beautiful!"
Lin Wanwan smiled and pinched his face.
"Yes, Xiaobai is so good-looking, he takes after his mother!"
"Hehe, sister is pretty too! She looks like mom too!"
"You kid! You can't all good-looking people look like your mother!"
"I don't! No one else is as pretty as my sister and uncle!"
"Hahaha, okay, Xiaobai, you have a day off tomorrow, how about I take you to your grandparents' house?"
Lin Bai jumped up happily, "Really, sister? Are you really going to take me to my grandparents' house? That's great!"
"Well, let's go! We'll set off tomorrow morning, but we have to send my sister-in-law to the county first, then we can go."
"good!"
The next day, when Sister Yuying heard Lin Wanwan say that she wanted to visit her grandparents, she quickly nodded in agreement, saying that she should go and see them. She also asked her to bring some more things with her, and told her how to get there and which house to go to.
Sister Yuying brought her five or six bamboo boxes of food. She went to the cloth shop and bought ten pieces of cotton and linen cloth, took out a few bags of rice and flour from the warehouse, bought twenty or thirty kilograms of pork, and finally went to the yard to catch more than twenty chickens and ducks, and took the chicks and ducklings with her, and set off for Shili Village.
They followed the route Sister Yuying told them, asking for directions as they walked, and after walking about sixteen or seventeen miles, they finally arrived at Shili Village.
Due to the remote location and the mountains and forests all around, there was not much arable land, which made the village very poor. Lin Wanwan finally understood why her grandparents did not take them in to live with her at the time. They were not rich, but still sent them food every year.
Lin Wanwan saw an aunt and hurriedly called her.
"Aunt, how do I get to Chen Daxing's house?"
"Who are you?" She looked at Lin Wanwan and Lin Bai on the ox cart with some confusion, but after looking at Lin Bai for a while, she suddenly said in surprise: "You are Yuehe's children! Oh, you have grown so big!"
Lin Wanwan smiled and nodded at her.
"Aunt, we are Yuehe's children. Can you please take us to our grandparents' home?"
"Hahaha, of course! Come on, I'll take you there! Oh, Yuehe's children are so handsome! Your mother and I are cousins, you should call me aunt!"
"Auntie!" Lin Wan pulled Xiaobai and called out.
"Hey, good boy!"
She glanced casually into the ox cart and was so frightened that she was speechless.
"You, why did you bring so many things?"
Lin Wanwan explained, "I started a business in the county this year, selling stewed meat. I just found some time. My uncles came to see us yesterday, and my brother and I were not at home, so I came here today!"
"What? Braised pork? Pig offal? Is this your business? My goodness, you are such a great kid! The braised pork in our county is very popular now! I heard they say it is even more delicious than meat!"
Lin Wan took out a large bag of stewed food from the car and handed it to her, "Aunt, we brought a lot today, too. Take it back and try it."
"Oh, no, no, this is so embarrassing!"
"We are all relatives, why are you being so polite to us, aunt? Take it now!"
Lin Wanwan stuffed the stewed food into her arms and said, "This stewed food is a little cold. Auntie, go back and heat it up before eating."
"Ah? Fine, then I'll shamelessly accept it. You're such a promising kid!"
When they reached almost the end of the village, she led them to stop in front of a large old mud house and shouted loudly inside.
"Aunt! Uncle! Come out quickly! Look who's here!"
The people inside heard someone shouting and quickly opened the door.
"It's Dafeng, what's the matter?"
"Aunt, look who's here?"
She glanced outside and suddenly froze, her eyes red as she looked at the two of them.
"Wan girl! Xiaobai! Why did you two come here? Why are there only two of you? It's such a long way..."
"grandmother!"
Lin Wan picked up Xiaobai and they both ran forward immediately.
Zhang Cuiqin hugged them both and said with red eyes: "How can you two be so brave! What if you run into kidnappers or bad guys? Why don't you ask someone to accompany you!"
At this time, Chen Dachang also came out and looked at them in surprise, saying, "Why are you two here? Didn't we just ask your uncle to deliver some food yesterday?"
"Grandpa, grandma, we were not at home yesterday. The uncles left after dropping off the food, so we thought of coming over today."
"Oh, aunt and uncle, you may not know yet, Wan Yatou is very famous now! Do you know that braised pork? It was made by Wan Yatou! It sells very well in the county town!"
