Mother Zhou kept comforting her little granddaughter in her arms.
Xiao Yuer cried for a while and then sobbed softly, with his little body shaking.
"Alright, alright."
"Mom, Dad and my brothers will be back soon."
"Come, little fish, drink some water."
Zhou's mother fed Xiao Yuer some warm water and some egg custard before she was coaxed into submission.
Xiao Yuer was still sad after eating the egg custard, and hugged Ji Feng's neck with both hands like a lotus root.
The two heads leaned against each other, the dog and the baby keeping each other warm.

......
When going back to her hometown to worship her ancestors, with the grown man Zhou Yuheng by her side, Xu Qingluo only needed to follow him with her two sons.
The Qingming Festival is not just about worshipping ancestors, the most important thing is that there are several mountains to climb.
Zhou Yuheng took off his coat and handed it to her, leaving only a vest on his upper body, with his strong and muscular arms exposed.
Zhou Yuheng quickly scanned the surroundings.
The mother and her two children, as well as Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou, were settled in a cool place under a tree to wait.
"It's cool here."
"Don't run around, okay?"
"Take good care of mom and great-grandpa and great-grandma."
Zhou Yuheng was worried and warned his two sons.
He was worried about other things, but he was worried that his two sons would make trouble for his wife.
"Don't worry, Dad! We know!"
Xiaoman and Xiaoyuan acted like little adults and gave Zhou Yuheng assurances
Zhou Yuheng patted his two sons' heads with trust.
"Okay, I'll give it to you."
After Zhou Yuheng took care of his two sons, he took a sickle and went up the mountain with several grandchildren from Grandpa Zhou to clear a path.
As the men climbed up, they cleared away the weeds and dead trees on both sides to make it easier for the women and elders to go up the mountain.
It is usually the rainy season, but it is always sunny on the Qingming Festival.
Even God favors filial younger generations.
Several granddaughters-in-law and aunts in Grandpa Zhou's family looked at Xu Qingluo curiously.
This is the first time Xu Qingluo has returned to her hometown after marrying into the Zhou family for so many years, and everyone is full of curiosity about her.
Since Xu Qingluo returned to her hometown, she has not had much contact with the women in Grandpa Zhou's family.
At most, we chatted for a few minutes when everyone came to visit Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou.
"Xiao Heng's wife, what are you doing?"
Several aunts from Grandpa Zhou's family looked at her curiously.
The last time Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou came back with the two children, they couldn’t find out anything.
But now that Xu Qingluo was around, they couldn't control their curiosity.
"My Xiaoluo is a university teacher."
Before Xu Qingluo answered the aunts' questions, Grandma Zhou answered for her.
Qingluo just stood aside obediently and smiled.
Grandma Zhou deliberately concealed her specific work unit, and Xu Qingluo herself would not tell anyone.
"Oh, you're a university teacher?"
"That's great."
Xu Qingluo continued to show her standard smile.
Although she usually has no major problems in interpersonal relationships.
But she really couldn't cope with this kind of occasion of greeting distant relatives.
You know, any request made under the name of a relative is the hardest to refuse.
We have to keep some dignity.
"Which university does Xiaoheng's wife teach at?"
"My eldest grandson is taking the college entrance exam this year. Do you think he can pass?"
"Xiao Heng, my dear wife, you should have some review materials or something, right?"
Whatever Xu Qingluo fears will come to pass.
