Chapter 164 The Home on Old Man's Mountain
"Grandma, don't laugh, don't laugh! Grandpa said it! Sister Hui, is grandpa right? Does Qianqian's name sound good?" Qianqian asked with a small mouth.

"Grandpa is right, Qianqian's name is very nice!" Yao Cunhui laughed.

"Really!" Qianqian giggled happily.

After washing the vegetables and the mushrooms picked by Qianqian, the three of them went back to the house.

At this moment, Mrs. Hua, Xiao Xing, and Xiaoli have already returned from the vegetable garden. Mrs. Hua is moulting a big pheasant for lunch, and a big gray dog ​​like a wolf is staring at it with its bright red tongue. .

"Heizi!" Qianqian shouted coquettishly, and the big gray dog ​​barked twice, swishing to Qianqian's side, rubbing against her affectionately, stroking it with Qianqian's small snow-white hands, giggling, and beckoning to Yao Cunhui: "Sister Hui, sister Hui, come here! Heizi is very good!"

"Hehe, it's rare for this child to have a companion, Xiaohui, go and play with Qianqian!" the old woman smiled.

"Then, my name is Xiao Xing and Xiao Li, who will cook for you!" Yao Cunhui nodded with a smile, told Xiao Xing and Xiao Li, and walked towards Qianqian.

The old man was holding a purple clay pot in his hand, sitting on a chair on the porch with his legs crossed, and looked at them with a smile. Weave bamboo baskets with bamboo rafts.

Qianqian pulled Yao Cunhui, shouted coquettishly, issued various instructions to the big gray dog ​​to show Yao Cunhui, and chattered to her about the various glorious deeds of the big gray dog. Yao Cunhui listened with relish, and asked a few words from time to time, A few words of praise.

She was so knowledgeable, Qianqian was even more happy, and hurriedly said: "Sister Hui, I still have a little fox, a little hedgehog, a little pigeon and a little squirrel. I'll show you to see it!"

As he spoke, he dragged Yao Cunhui to the bamboo fence with great interest, and pushed it away casually, to a small courtyard next door with a thatched hut inside.

Qianqian dragged her in, and the inside was cleaned cleanly. On one side was a wooden shelf with a tall lattice, and inside each lattice was a nest made of straw. This is the pigeon coop.

"The little pigeons have gone out to play and haven't come back yet!" Seeing her looking towards the loft, Qianqian said, beckoning, "Sister Hui, come and see my little fox!"

"Okay!" Yao Cunhui went over with a smile, and sure enough, he saw a little brown-gray fox living in a tall fence cage made of bamboo and wood. Its fur was shiny and smooth, and its small mung bean-like eyes rolled straight and vividly.

Seeing Qianqian coming, the little fox jumped up and squeaked. Qianqian reached out and touched it gently, and asked with a smile, "Sister Hui, don't you think the little fox is cute?"

"The little fox is very cute, who caught it for Qianqian?"

"Uncle Dashan! Uncle Dashan is amazing!" Qianqian sighed softly and said in frustration: "It's a pity that Uncle Dashan said that the little fox is difficult to raise, so he ran away after letting it out! It's not as good as the little pigeon, who is not as obedient as the little pigeon." The little hedgehog is so clumsy, he can't run fast!"

Yao Cunhui turned his head and glanced at the lazy hedgehog in another tall cage next to him, and couldn't help laughing.

"There's also a little squirrel! I just got it a few days ago! Uncle Dashan didn't catch it for me, it was me—" Qianqian turned his head and thought for a while, "I rescued it from my little brother!"

As he spoke, he happily gesticulated how to apply medicine, bandage, and heal the little squirrel, with great interest and a sense of accomplishment.

If Yao Cunhui asked one more question, he would be able to guess who the "little brother" Qianqian was talking about, but unfortunately she didn't ask, but listened to Qianqian's narration with a smile.

After lunch on the mountain, Yao Cunhuifang took Xiao Xing and Xiao Li down the mountain.

"Sister Hui, will you still come to see me?" Qianqian held Grandpa's hand, stood on the porch in front of the house, and looked at Yao Cunhui eagerly.

"Hehe, Xiaohui, come and play with us when you're free or bored!" The old man said with a smile.

"Well! I will come again when I have time!" Yao Cunhui patted Qianqian's shoulder lightly.

Qianqian's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his white and tender little fingers and said happily: "Really? Lagougou, sister Hui, don't lie!" Qianqian lived with his grandparents since he was a child. Although he was free and unfettered, he didn't play Even though Yao Cunhui is older than her, compared with the two servants and grandparents, the age gap is always much smaller.What's even more rare is that Yao Cunhui is willing to hear her say that her babies are not impatient, and she can't help but get closer to her!

"Okay! Pull the hook!" Yao Cunhui smiled, stretched out his little finger to hook Qianqian's hook, Qianqian giggled and said "...not allowed to change in 100 years", and added: "Sister Hui, don't forget! "

"Little girl!" The old man fondled his granddaughter's head affectionately, with a flash of guilt in his eyes, he persuaded with a smile, "Okay, okay, let your sister Hui go down the mountain!"

"Xiaohui!" The old woman came out of the house suddenly, took out a yellow paper bag in her hand, and said with a smile: "These are the dates that were just picked, take some back to eat!"

"Thank you mother-in-law!" Yao Cunhui took it with a grateful smile, bid farewell to the three of them and left.

"The old man and the old lady are really good people!" Xiao Xing said enviously: "Their home is also very good, just like a paradise!"

"And Miss Qianqian, how cute!" Xiaoli also laughed.

"By the way, miss, what's the old man's last name!" Xiao Xing asked suddenly.

"Surname—" Yao Cunhui was stunned, and then realized that the couple had never introduced themselves, nor had they even mentioned their surnames.

"Presumably they don't want others to know," Yao Cunhui sighed softly: "If they don't want to tell, let's stop asking."

Meet by chance, why bother to chase after the root.Maybe, the other party came from a wealthy family in the capital, right?

"The latter is your grandpa's birthday, all of you brothers and sisters will come back with me to pay homage to him!" Yao Cunhui was called by Mrs. Ma when he returned home.

"Grandpa?" Yao Cunhui looked at Mrs. Ma inexplicably.

"It's my biological father." Not the Yun family!Ma Shi's face suddenly turned ugly, she coughed awkwardly, and said slowly: "Be prepared, don't be rude when the time comes."

Yao Cunhui suddenly realized.Ma Shi's biological father should have called him "Grandpa" too, whether he would like to be called that is another matter.

"Yes, mother, Hui'er knows!" Yao Cunhui immediately nodded in agreement - she had no part in saying no.

Back at Luomei Courtyard, Yao Cunhui told Mama Rong about this, and asked her to help prepare the clothes and jewelry she was going to wear.

When Rong Ma heard this, her face stretched, and she sighed and nodded in agreement after a while.

"Don't worry, wish 'Grandpa' his birthday, what can happen at the birthday party!" Yao Cunhui comforted Rong Ma with a smile.

Mother Rong snorted and said, "Maybe Ma'am will try to let Miss stay at Ma's house for a few days!"

Yao Cunhui's heart moved, and she said with a smile: "It's necessary to guard against it. However, it doesn't matter! The visitor is a guest, and the Ma's family can be regarded as a respectable family. You can't design me in your own home, right? I can't shirk it. Stay for two days. Just stay for two days!"

"Miss, this time the old servant will go with the lady!" Rong Ma looked at Yao Cunhui and insisted.

Yao Cunhui thought about it and agreed.

On this day, Mrs. Ma took Yao Cunhui, Yao Cunmei, Yao Shizan and Ma Qunfang out early in the morning.Unexpectedly, Ma Huai'an actually came to pick them up in person, and greeted them with "aunt and cousin" very attentively and warmly.

Yao Cunhui took Yao Shizan's hand and waited indifferently, while Rong Ma and Xiao Xing followed Yao Cunhui, staring at her.After Ma Huai'an greeted her, she said with a sneer, "Second cousin doesn't have to be restrained, she's the same as my own family" and didn't say anything else.

When they arrived at Ma's house, sisters Yao Cunhui and Mrs. Ma paid homage to the old man of the Ma family's birthday, and went into the inner hall to rest.

"You sisters go to the inner hall to play with the sisters of relatives, and Zan'er will be handed over to Huai'an!" Ma said with a smile.

Yao Cunhui naturally refused to let the younger brother leave her side, so she laughed and said: "Zan'er is still young and not in good health, my cousin needs to greet guests, how can I take care of Zan'er when I have time? There are too many guests in front, I beg mother to let my daughter bring Zan'er with me, so as to teach my daughter to feel at ease!"

Yao Shizan also held Yao Cunhui's arm tightly, and said coquettishly, "Mother, I want to be with my sisters!"

Ma Shi had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Yao Cunhui took Yao Shizan's hand and entered together with Yao Cunmei and Ma Qunfang.

Ma Qunfang was very kind to her today, always following her side and introducing people to her.

Yao Cunhui didn't have the slightest affection for the relatives of the Ma family, let alone want to make friends, so he met politely and pointed out that he wanted to take care of Yao Shizan, so he asked Mrs. Ma's wife for a wing room, and hid with Yao Shizan's siblings. Go leisurely.

Sure enough, as Rong Ma expected, the next morning, Mrs. Ma smiled and said: "It's rare to come to my grandfather's house, so you sisters and brothers can stay for a few more days! The mansion cannot leave me, so I will Go back first!"

Madam Ma also laughed and said: "That's right! Relatives will be unfamiliar if they don't walk around much! Hui'er and Zan'er haven't seen each other for many years, I didn't expect to grow so big in a blink of an eye! Ha ha, Hui'er is getting more and more beautiful Already! Zan'er will be a handsome young master when he grows up!"

Yao Cunhui smiled, and a sneer flashed in his eyes.Long time no see?In the past, Mrs. Ma wished that their siblings would disappear from the world. How could he bring them out to see their relatives?Not to mention it's my natal family!
As for Mrs. Ma, she must hate Yao Shizan no less than Mrs. Ma, so it's hard for her to say these words with a smile on her face!It's just that how these few words sound makes people feel nondescript.

Sure enough, Mrs. Ma showed a look of awkwardness on her face, and said with a smile: "Mother, you have to treat Hui'er and Zan'er well, and don't let them be wronged! The second young lady and the eldest young master of our family are so precious!"

"Oh, oh, don't worry! Keep them as if they are in your own home, and they won't feel wronged!" Old lady Ma smiled like a flower on her frowning old face.
