Since most people were at work, Zuo Zuo chose Sunday to take Qiao Na home.
As soon as Jona entered the house, she saw an older child leading two younger children playing in the mud in the yard. Jona frowned slightly.
Seeing that the two children looked exactly alike, Tongtong immediately walked over to them. "Children, what are you playing?"
After hearing Tongtong speak, Chou Chou, Er Chou, and San Chou all looked at Tongtong.
Tongtong's hands immediately itched when she saw Erchou and Sanchou's chubby faces. "Little friends, can Auntie play with you?"
Ugly stood up from the ground. "Hello, Auntie. Uncle Zuo Zuo, you're back."
Erchou and Sanchou stood up and ran towards Zuo Zuo. "Uncle! Uncle!"
When Jona saw Erchou and Sanchou running towards them with their dirty little hands raised, she immediately took a step back.
Tongtong looked at Zuozuo with envy.
As soon as Erchou and Sanchou ran over, Zuozuo picked them both up in a hug. "Did you miss your uncle?"
Erchou: "Uncle."
San Chou: "Yes, Uncle."
Erchou and Sanchou are just over a year old. Because Chouchou calls Zuozuo "Uncle," they feel that the two of them should also call Zuozuo "Uncle."
Zuo Zuo smiled. "Okay. Uncle it is then. So, have you missed your uncle?"
Erchou: "I've thought about it."
San Chou: "Kiss."
"Okay." Zuo Zuo kissed Er Chou and San Chou's little faces.
After Zuo Zuo finished kissing, Er Chou and San Chou kissed Zuo Zuo once on the left and once on the right.
Jona watched Er Chou and San Chou's dirty little hands warily, afraid they would want her to hold them.
Tongtong noticed that Erchou and Sanchou kept their little hands raised, so she curiously pointed at their palms with her finger. "Little friends, why do you keep your hands raised?"
Erchou: "Dirty."
San Chou: "Wash."
Tongtong pointed at Erchou and Sanchou's dirty little hands with her finger: "Do you mean that we can only put our hands down after they are dirty?"
I didn't quite understand the second and third ugly ones.
When Chou Chou saw that Er Chou and San Chou didn't understand, she spoke up for them: "Auntie, what my younger brother and sister mean is that their hands are muddy, and if they put their hands down, they will get Uncle's clothes dirty. If they get Uncle's clothes dirty, then they have to wash Uncle's clothes clean."
Tongtong was both surprised and curious after hearing this. "They can do laundry at such a young age?"
Erchou: "Yes."
San Chou: "Rubbing".
Zuo Zuo smiled. "Whether it works or not is secondary. The main thing is to get them aware of this."
Tongtong then pointed at Erchou and Sanchou's dirty little hands. "You two are really capable."
Erchou: "Hehe..."
San Chou: "Auntie, why do you keep pointing at our hands?"
Tongtong looked at Erchou and Sanchou with a smile and said, "Because Auntie thinks your little muddy hands are very cute."
Erchou: "Auntie, then come play with us."
San Chou: "Auntie's hands are also little muddy hands, and they're cute too."
Tongtong: "Okay. After Auntie says hello to the elders and chats with them, I'll come find you to play."
Second Ugly Boy and Third Ugly Boy: "Okay."
After putting Erchou and Sanchou on the ground, Zuo Zuo rubbed Chou Chou's head. "Where are your grandparents?"
Chou Chou: "Helping my great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers with chores in the backyard."
"What about your uncles, your aunts, and your parents?"
"They went to the manor to get vegetables and meat."
Just as Chou Chou finished speaking, Nao Nao, Tengteng, Youyou, Sister, Chongyue, Meibing, Zhang Yu, and Shen came in from outside carrying things.
Jona frowned again when she saw that Nao Nao's feet were covered in mud and that the chickens, ducks and fish he was carrying were all alive.
Zuo Zuo gave everyone a brief introduction.
After greeting them, Tongtong looked at the things in Naonao's hands and asked, "Did you grow and raise all of these yourselves?"
Nao Nao: "Okay. Zuo Zuo, you take the guests inside. We'll go to the kitchen and tidy up these things."
Zuo Zuo: "Okay."
After Nao Nao and the others left, Zuo Zuo led Qiao Na and Tong Tong to the backyard.
Tongtong asked curiously, "Do you manage your family's estate yourselves?"
Zuo Zuo: "No. We usually go during our rest time."
Tongtong: "Do you sell the products from your family's farm?"
Zuo Zuo: "Not for sale." As soon as anything grows on their estate, people start eyeing it. And there are many people eyeing it.
Qiao Na had assumed that, given Han Bin's status, the men would be dressed in suits and the women adorned with jewelry. Even the children would be little gentlemen and ladies. But to her surprise… everyone in the family, except for Zuo Zuo, herself, and Tong Tong, was covered in mud.
Qiao Na thought to herself: If I marry Zuo Zuo in the future, will I have to pick vegetables in the field like Chong Yue, Mei Bing and Chen Yu?
Seeing that Qiao Na hadn't said much since entering the room, Zuo Zuo said, "Nana, don't be nervous. My dad and mom get along very well."
Jona smiled. "I'm not nervous. I just don't like the atmosphere at your house."
Zuo Zuo: "That's good."
Tongtong looked at Zuozuo and asked, "Can I come to your manor to play?"
Zuo Zuo: "Of course you can."
Tongtong looked at Qiao Na, wanting Qiao Na to set a time.
Jona pretended not to understand Tongtong's meaning: "Zuozuo, is it because your grandparents like farming that you all have to work hard?"
"No. My family members just like to tinker with things when they have nothing to do."
As they were talking, they arrived at the backyard. The children were watering the fields in the backyard during the Lesser Fullness of Grain solar term.
Zuo Zuo called out loudly, "Grandpa, Grandma, Grandpa Guo, Grandpa Shang, Mom, Dad, I'm back!" Then, Zuo Zuo introduced herself to everyone.
Tang Huihui looked at Qiao Na carefully and was very satisfied. She came out of the field, walked to Qiao Na's side, and wanted to take Qiao Na's hand.
Tang Huihui had been working in the field. Qiao Na didn't want Tang Huihui to hold her hand. But... thinking of Zuo Zuo, Qiao Na resisted the urge to pull away.
Tang Huihui took Qiao Na's hand affectionately and said, "Come on, let's go back to the house with Grandma. Xiaoman, you don't need to bother with anything."
Xiaoman smiled at Qiao Na. "You guys go back inside first, I'll be done in a bit."
Jona knew she should say, "Auntie, let me help you," or "Auntie, let me do it." But... Jona looked at the mud on the ground and really didn't want to say that.
As Tongtong walked towards the field, she said, "Auntie, let's get to work."
Xiaoman smiled and said, "No need. Let's do it this afternoon. Come on, let's go inside."
After returning to the house, Tongtong chatted with Xiaoman and Tang Huihui for a while before going out to play with Chou Chou, Er Chou, and San Chou.
Everyone knows Xiaoman is a woman of few words. So after her sister, Chongyue, Meibing, and Zhang Yu put their things down, they washed their hands and came out of the kitchen to chat with Qiaona in the living room.
After finishing their meal, Zuo Zuo took Qiao Na and Tong Tong home and then returned.
As soon as they got back, Zuo Zuo looked at Xiao Man and Tang Huihui and asked, "Grandma, Mom, what do you think of Nana?"
Tang Huihui: "Okay."
Xiaoman: "Not good."
Tang Huihui and Zuo Zuo: "Huh?"
Xiaoman looked at Zuozuo and said, "I've taken a liking to Tongtong."
