Tang Huihui: "Huh?!"
Zuo Zuo: "Huh?!!"
Xiaoman looked at Tang Huihui and said, "Mother, Qiao Na is not one of us."
When Zuo Zuo told Xiao Man that he wanted to bring Qiao Na back, Xiao Man asked Zuo Zuo what kind of person Qiao Na was. After asking, Xiao Man wanted to give Qiao Na a simple test.
Early this morning, Xiaoman sent her son, daughter-in-law, daughter, and son-in-law to the manor to work. After they finished, they were to bring back the vegetables and meat for lunch.
When Zuo Zuo went to pick up Qiao Na, Xiao Man mentioned that there seemed to be bugs in the vegetable garden behind the house. Upon hearing this, Tang Huihui, Han Dashan, and Lao Guo couldn't sit still any longer. Seeing everyone heading to the vegetable garden, Lao Shang followed suit.
After settling the adults in, Xiaoman called over Chou Chou, Er Chou, and San Chou. "Chou Chou, the adults have all gone to work in the fields today. Er Chou and San Chou are in your care."
Ugly: "Okay. Grandma, don't worry. I'll take good care of Second Ugly and Third Ugly."
"Mmm." Xiaoman patted Erchou and Sanchou's little heads. "Listen to your brother."
Erchou: "Okay."
San Chou: "Be obedient."
Xiaoman smiled and said, "Good boy/girl. Chou Chou, all the adults are working in the fields today, so shouldn't you, Er Chou, and San Chou play a game related to the land?"
Ugly thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll take Second Ugly and Third Ugly to make clay firecrackers. Clay firecrackers are easy to make and make a sound. Second Ugly and Third Ugly will definitely like them."
In the past, when children didn't have toys, they would mix soil into mud, then roll it up and press down the middle. After pressing it down, they would hold the bottom upright and press it onto the ground, making a sound like a cannon.
Han Dashan used to make clay firecrackers for Chou Chou. That's why Xiao Man remembered Chou Chou when she mentioned him.
Xiaoman nodded. "Go play."
After Chou Chou left with Er Chou and San Chou, Xiao Man walked over to Xiao Hei and touched his neck: "Keep an eye on Zuo Zuo's boyfriend for me."
Xiao Hei nodded.
After dinner, when Zuo Zuo went to see Qiao Na and Tong Tong off, Xiao Hei told Xiao Man what it had observed.
Tang Huihui: "This... Xiaoman, I think that child is quite nice."
Zuo Zuo didn't notice anything wrong with Qiao Na. But she also felt that Xiao Man had a very accurate eye for people. "Mom, how come you have this feeling?"
"Go and call Ugly over here."
"good."
A little while later, Zuo Zuo called Chou Chou over. Chou Chou's two little followers also came over.
Ugly: "Grandma, you were looking for me?"
Second Ugly Boy and Third Ugly Boy: "Grandma, you're looking for us too."
Xiaoman smiled and said, "Okay, I'll ask you too. Come on, Grandma will ask you, when your Uncle Zuo Zuo came back with those two aunties, did you run to Uncle Zuo Zuo's side as soon as you saw him?"
Second Ugly, Third Ugly: "Hmm."
Xiaoman: "When you guys ran to your Uncle Zuo Zuo's side, did Aunt Qiao Na take a step back?"
The second and third clowns were too young to notice this at all.
Erchou scratched his head. "I don't know."
San Chou looked at Chou Chou. "Brother Chou Chou?"
Chou Chou thought for a moment and said, "Grandma, Aunt Qiao Na took a step back."
Xiaoman glanced at Zuozuo. "Grandma is asking you, do you like Aunt Qiaona or Aunt Tongtong more?"
Without thinking, the three little ones said in unison, "Auntie Tongtong."
Xiaoman: "Okay, Grandma's done asking questions. You guys go out and play now."
Ugly: "Okay."
Er Chou still remembered that Xiao Man had only looked for Chou Chou earlier: "Grandma, you should also look for me and San Chou."
San Chou: "Mm."
Xiaoman touched Erchou and Sanchou's little faces: "Okay. Go play."
Second Ugly, Third Ugly: "Hmm."
After the children went out, Xiaoman looked at Zuozuo. "Everyone in our family can handle a hoe and a pen."
Zuo Zuo: "Mom, I'll think about it carefully." If Xiao Man hadn't brought it up, Zuo Zuo wouldn't have noticed the problem.
Xiaoman: "If you insist on marrying her, I won't stop you. But you shouldn't bring her back except for holidays."
Tang Huihui didn't want to put Zuo Zuo in a difficult position, and she also thought Qiao Na was alright. "Xiao Man, that child was born and raised in the city, and is used to being clean. It's not a big deal that she took a step back when she saw the children's hands were muddy."
Xiaoman smiled. "Tongtong was also born and raised in the city."
Tang Huihui: "Well... I think that child is just a bit too clean."
Xiaoman: "She not only loves cleanliness, but she also thinks the moon is rounder in foreign countries than in ours."
After saying that, Xiaoman looked at Zuozuo. "Am I right?"
Zuo Zuo closed her eyes briefly. "It seems like there's a trend."
Xiaoman stood up from the sofa. "You decide for yourself. Once you've decided, let me and your dad know."
Zuo Zuo: "Okay."
After Xiaoman left, Tang Huihui held Zuozuo's hand and said, "No matter what decision you make, Grandma will support you."
Zuo Zuo hugged Tang Huihui. "Thank you, Grandma."
"What are you thanking me for? Come on, let's go for a walk with Grandma. We can think about whether to continue dating Jona after we come back from our walk."
"good."
On the other side, after Zuo Zuo left, Qiao Na's mother asked Qiao Na, "How was it? Were his parents enthusiastic towards you?"
"Don't even mention it. His mother didn't say more than ten words to me."
"How could this be? Does she not like you?"
"have no idea."
"And what about his dad?"
"His dad seems quite amiable. Mom, let me tell you, when I went there today..."
Jona told her mother about what happened after she went to Zuo Zuo's house. "They don't even have a nanny. Mom, I think they're just a family of farmers."
Jona's mother frowned. "How could this be? Didn't they leave the countryside a long time ago?"
Jona felt it was all because of Xiaoman. "They left the countryside a long time ago. But his mother never worked a day in her life. Her thinking is definitely still rural. And in his family, his mother is the one who calls the shots."
"Really? She's been an official's wife for so many years."
"How could I not? Mom, let me tell you, even though his mother has never worked, she's more arrogant than his father. Mom, if it weren't for how outstanding Zuo Zuo is, I wouldn't even want to eat at his house."
"Then...then about you and Zuo Zuo..."
"I plan to move out after I get married."
"Okay. If his parents disagree, I'll have your uncle intervene."
"No need. I can handle it myself."
"Didn't you say her mother was more arrogant than her father? Maybe she's trying to show off her mother-in-law status in front of you? No way, I have to call your uncle right now."
After saying that, Jona's mother picked up the phone on the table.
A moment later, the call connected. "Hey, bro, let me tell you, Nana and Zuo Zuo won't be living at her mother-in-law's house after they get married."
The leader's voice came through the phone. "I was just about to call you."
"Really? Brother, what's wrong?"
"I think Nana and Zuo Zuo might not end up together."
