"Harvesting corn? What corn? Corn is not ripe at this time. Why do you ask this question? Do you want to eat corn?" Old Master Xia was stunned by Qiu Mengyun's question and asked back in confusion.
Qiu Mengyun asked in surprise, "How could it not be ripe? Xia Tian said that. Now is the season for harvesting spring corn. Isn't he going back this time to harvest corn?"
Xia Tian, who had just finished serving the meal, heard the conversation between his grandfather and Qiu Mengyun.
He didn't even bother to cover the pot. He just put down the bowl in his hand and rushed back to the restaurant at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
"Yes, I came back to harvest corn. But Grandpa just got out of the hospital not long ago, so I didn't tell him about harvesting corn."
Xia Tian snatched the phone and explained to Qiu Mengyun on the other end of the phone with a smile.
Hearing Xia Tian say this, Qiu Mengyun became even more confused: "Huh? Since you work alone, why are you with Grandpa Xia and Auntie?"
"Didn't you say you were going back to your hometown to harvest corn?"
Hearing Qiu Mengyun's words, the other three people in the room looked at Xia Tian at the same time.
Xia Tian quickly pressed the mute button and explained in a low voice: "Mom, Dad, Grandpa, I know you must have a lot of questions now."
"But this matter cannot be explained in just a few words. Please don't expose my deception of Mengyun yet. I actually had no choice but to do this. I will explain it to you after I hang up the phone."
Mother Xia said coldly, "Hmph! I'm waiting for your explanation. If I find out that you've done anything to hurt Mengyun behind her back, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."
Old Master Xia also said with a stern face: "You'd better give us a convincing reason, otherwise I will let your father punish you according to the family rules."
"Hey! Xia Tian, can you hear me over there? Why can't I hear you talking over here all of a sudden?"
Not hearing Xia Tian's answer for a long time, Qiu Mengyun asked in confusion.
Xia Tian turned on the mute function and said with a smile: "Sorry, I just pressed the mute button by accident."
"Well, we don't have much land to begin with, and after a day of hard work, I've harvested all the corn."
"The subsequent sowing work will take a few days to continue, so I came back overnight."
Qiu Mengyun had never farmed before and didn't know much about farmland, so she didn't doubt what Xia Tian said.
She said regretfully, "Your land is so small. If I had known we could finish it in one day, I would have gone back with you."
Xia Tian quickly comforted him, "Not really. After harvesting the corn, we still have to crush the stalks, plow the soil, sow seeds, etc. It's still very troublesome."
Qiu Mengyun said worriedly, "Ah? So many things to do. Is half a month enough? Our variety show will be recording its next episode in half a month. Can you still come?"
Xia Tian: "Don't worry, I will definitely rush back before the show starts and won't delay my work."
Qiu Mengyun whispered, "Then you're working alone in the fields, so be careful!"
"The weather is hot now, you must remember to drink water in time to avoid heatstroke."
Xia Tian nodded: "Don't worry, I'm an adult and can take care of myself."
Qiu Mengyun continued to remind: "Also, remember to do a good job of sun protection!"
"I don't want everyone to misunderstand me as having a black boyfriend when the show starts again."
Xia Tian: "Don't worry, the situation you are worried about will definitely not happen."
"Okay, I'm still eating here. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first!"
Xia Tian discovered for the first time that Qiu Mengyun was such a nagging woman, and he immediately prepared to hang up the phone.
"Don't hang up. If you haven't finished eating, go ahead and continue eating! I just want to chat with Grandpa Xia and my uncle and aunt."
Hearing that Xia Tian was about to hang up the phone, Qiu Mengyun hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
Before Xia Tian could say anything, the phone in his hand was snatched away by his mother.
"Mengyun, I'm your aunt. I heard that Xia Tian went back with you some time ago. How is it going? Do your parents have any opinions about him?"
"Xia Tian, that kid, doesn't have much social experience. If he says or does anything wrong, tell me and I'll teach him a lesson for you."
Hearing what Xia's mother said, Qiu Mengyun knew that Xia Tian must have told his family about going back with her to meet his parents after he returned.
For some reason, her originally depressed mood suddenly became happy.
She smiled brightly and said, "Auntie, you're worrying too much. Xia Tian behaves very well in our family. My parents and grandpa all like him very much."
Hearing that Qiu Mengyun's family recognized Xia Tian so much, Xia's mother said happily: "Haha! That's good, that's good."
As soon as she finished speaking, Old Man Xia beside her couldn't wait to speak: "Mengyun girl, you must come to see Grandpa Xia when you are free."
"Grandpa Xia missed you. Don't you know that after Xia Tian came back, I scolded him for not bringing you back with him?"
Hearing what Grandpa Xia said, Qiu Mengyun responded sweetly: "Grandpa Xia, Mengyun misses you too."
"Don't worry, I'll come to see you in a few days. It just so happened that when I came back this time, my parents asked me to bring gifts for you and your uncle and aunt, so I'll just give them to you."
Old Master Xia laughed and said, "Haha! Grandpa is very happy that you can come. As for gifts, don't bring anything."
"We have everything we need at home, and it's inconvenient for you to bring it all the way here."
Qiu Mengyun: "It's okay, Grandpa Xia, I'll have a friend take me directly to the airport. I'll have Xia Tian pick me up after I get out of the airport, it won't be a big deal."
Old Master Xia nodded and said, "Okay, when you come, just call ahead and I'll have Xia Tian go to the airport to wait for you."
Grandpa Xia and Mother Xia took turns to make the call, and even Xia Zhenxing, the future father-in-law, chatted with Qiu Mengyun for a few words.
In the end, Xia Tian’s phone ran out of battery, and the few of them hung up the phone reluctantly.
After hanging up the phone, Qiu Mengyun felt refreshed, and all the gloom that had shrouded her heart all day was swept away.
After taking a shower, I went to bed happily.
There was nothing wrong on her side, but Xia Tian was having a trial.
Old Master Xia sat on the sofa in the living room and asked with a serious expression, "Tell me! What's going on?"
"Why did Mengyun say that you didn't let her come?"
Xia Zhenxing also chimed in, "Right! And what about harvesting corn? Our land has been unplanted for a long time. Where are you going to harvest corn?"
