Tian Chengcheng and Tian Hengyuan came to Guo's house.
The room was dark and the family had already gone to bed.
Tian Chengcheng looked up at Tian Hengyuan, a little hesitant.
It doesn't seem a good time to go to someone else's house.
Tian Hengyuan also felt that something was wrong. "Why don't we go back and come back tomorrow morning?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the room, "Is that Fubao and Hengyuan?"
"Uncle Guo, it's us."
Soon a small kerosene lamp lit up in the room, and Guo Hongchang pushed open the door. "Why are you two here so late?"
"Grandma asked us to come. She said the cotton at home was useless, so she asked us to bring it over and give it to you guys first."
Tian Chengcheng pointed at the bamboo basket that Tian Hengyuan was carrying.
"This is too valuable. We can't accept it. You'd better take it back." Guo Hongchang said.
"Then you can take it back to grandma. This is a token of her love. Have Grandma Guo and Grandpa Guo gone to bed yet?"
Tian Chengcheng took a look inside.
At this time, Guo's mother's voice came out, "Hongchang, let Fubao and Hengyuan come in and sit down."
I don’t know if it’s because I feel so good because of the good news, or because I drank the water Fubao gave me this afternoon.
Both she and the old man felt much better.
It was as if a heavy stone pressing on my back suddenly disappeared.
She was very grateful.
Tian Chengcheng and Tian Hengyuan entered the house, and Guo's father took a matchstick and lit the kerosene lamp.
"Fubao is here. Is there something wrong so late?"
Tian Hengyuan placed the backpack on the kang and took out the cotton first. "Aunt, uncle, this is what my mother asked me to bring. I'll let you use it first. You can return it when you have it in the future."
Five kilograms of cotton was not a small sum. The old lady guessed that the Guo couple would not accept it, so she said that they would borrow and repay.
Guo's father and mother were about to say no, but after hearing what was said, they changed their words.
"That's fine. I wouldn't have accepted it before, but now I have a way to make money. I can always pay it back if I save up." Guo's mother said, "One day when I have time, I will go to thank my sister-in-law in person."
"Aunt, don't bother. My mother is in good health now and can already walk. She said today that she also wants to do embroidery. She learned a little when she was a child, but her skills are not very good."
The old lady did say so, but was rejected by Tian Chengcheng and Tian Hengyuan.
She has just recovered now, and taking good care of her body is more important than anything else.
"That's great. I can discuss this with my sister-in-law when I have time. To be honest, after so many years, my skills have become rusty." said Guo's mother.
Tian Chengcheng took out another box from the bamboo basket, which contained a few hot big buns and half a box of stir-fried vegetables and meat.
"This is what my grandma made. She asked me to bring it to Grandma Guo and Grandpa Guo to try. Uncle Guo, you should try it too. My grandma's cooking is delicious, better than those in the big hotels in the city."
The family of three looked at the sumptuous food and felt a little uneasy.
"We are very grateful for sending the cotton. We can't take this anymore. You can take it back. We appreciate your kindness." said Guo's mother.
"Grandma Guo, do you dislike that these are leftovers? We packed this in advance when we were eating, and it's not leftovers. If you don't eat it, it means you dislike it." Tian Chengcheng said.
"It's not that we dislike it, Fubao, but food is expensive now, and we don't feel at ease eating it."
"What's there to be uneasy about? I grew these vegetables, the meat inside was from wild boar I found, and the white flour was also exchanged for the wild boar I hunted. I didn't buy any of it with money, so you can eat it without worry."
Tian Chengcheng smiled and took out another bag with some green vegetables in it.
"Look, these are all grown by me, and they are growing well."
Mother Guo looked at the green vegetables, which still had wet soil on their roots, as if they had just been pulled out, and only then did she believe it.
"They can grow such good vegetables at this time, do they have a greenhouse?"
The temperature is still a bit low now, and it is difficult to grow such vegetables except in artificially insulated greenhouses.
"Just put a layer of film on it to protect the roots. There are still a lot of them. When you have time, come to my house, chat with my grandma, and pick some vegetables. My grandma nags every day that vegetables grow too fast and she feels bad if she can't finish eating them, so she might as well give them away." Tian Chengcheng said.
Guo's mother knew that Tian Chengcheng meant well, so she just smiled and nodded without saying much.
"The buns and food are still hot, Grandma Guo, Grandpa Guo, please try some."
Tian Chengcheng said this as she placed the buns and food in front of them.
It's hard to refuse such a kind invitation.
The family of three began to eat under Tian Chengcheng's expectant gaze.
They hadn't eaten such delicious food in a long time. After taking a bite, even Guo's father couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.
Tian Chengcheng looked at their expressions and helped him pour three bowls of water, mixing some hot water into the spring water. "Drink some water, don't choke."
Guo's father and mother picked up the water and took a sip. It was still sweet, but the taste was a little worse than what they had at noon. They still drank it with satisfaction.
Guo Hongchang took a sip and was stunned. "Is this sugar water? Why is it so sweet?"
Tian Chengcheng smiled but said nothing.
Guo Hongchang didn't say much, it's normal for children to like drinking sugary drinks.
He said that there must be something fishy going on as Fubao was carrying that water bottle all day long.
The family of three had a full meal for the first time in ten years and was very satisfied.
Guo's mother put the cotton into the box and took out an embroidery she had made in the afternoon to show Tian Chengcheng, then she heard Zhuangzhuang's voice coming from outside.
"Uncle Guo, Grandma Guo, my mom is here to see you."
Such a loud voice, as if afraid that others couldn't hear it.
Li Qiuju chased him breathlessly and finally caught Zhuangzhuang in the Guo family yard. She slapped the little fat boy's butt twice.
"What a rip-off, why are you yelling?"
"Ouch, it hurts!" Zhuangzhuang screamed at the top of his lungs.
Guo Hongchang could only open the door and said, "Sister-in-law, Zhuangzhuang, what's the matter so late?"
"It was my mother. She insisted that there was food hidden in the bamboo basket my uncle sent. She also said that Accountant Guo could write whatever he wanted in the accounts, so she insisted on coming to see it."
“…”Guo Hongchang.
These words were so blunt that even a shameless person like Li Qiuju couldn't save face.
He slapped the fat boy's butt twice again.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you little bastard? When did I ever say anything like that? Go home and I'll make sure your dad spanks you!"
The first two slaps were mostly for scaring, but the last two slaps were really powerful.
Zhuangzhuang burst into tears, his cries shaking the sky.
Tian Hengyuan couldn't sit still anymore. He walked over and pulled Zhuangzhuang into his arms. "Sister-in-law, how could you hit a child? Zhuangzhuang is still young."
When she saw Tian Hengyuan, Li Qiuju immediately felt that she had caught him.
"Okay, you're still at someone else's house so late, who would believe that nothing happened?"
Li Qiuju yelled and rushed into the house, dumbfounded...
