Grandpa is coming

  "Hmm, hehe, if you're going to eat fish, I'll make some for you in a bit! Do you want it braised or steamed? Spicy and numbing or sweet and sour?" Li Lu'er asked Chen Zhiquan with a smile, a very sweet one.

  "I can eat spicy food and Sichuan hot pot!"

  When Zhi Quan said this, Xiao Xuan pulled down Luo Er with a gloomy face. "It's not okay to eat spicy fish on such a hot day, especially when he's just been injured and has external injuries. What if the fish is too pungent and causes inflammation? Let's make something lighter for him instead."

  Luo'er thought for a moment, glanced at Chen Zhiquan's face, and said: "Hehe, don't worry, I've got it under control!"

  "La'er, this rattan top is already broken, what to do?" Xuan Sheng looked at the middle of the rattan top that was smashed by Zhi Quan and asked La'er.

  Luo'er lowered his head and took a closer look, then smiled at the two boys and said, "It's okay, don't worry! I can fix it. Once I've fixed it, Xiaoxuan and I will go through the procedure again!"

  Xiao Xuan nodded, "Mm, so should we fix the roof first or cook dinner?"

  "Let's fix your hair first, or Grandfather will be coming soon and it won't look good if you're all disheveled. I'm not very hungry yet, let's wait a bit until my stomach is emptier, then we can cook something and I'll be able to eat properly!" Zhiquan said, looking at Tianteng as he touched his own bruised face.

  "Haha, that's okay!" Luo Er put down the vegetable basin and started working with Xiao Xuan to repair the bamboo top. Although the rotten hole was not very big, it was in the middle, so repairing this thing still had a certain technical content! Luo Er and Xiao Xuan quickly reinserted all the bamboo strips, re-tamped them, and then, with the help of Xuan Sheng, covered the bamboo top on the four wooden stakes. The two people carefully tied two hemp ropes to each side, and only after confirming that it was relatively firm did they lay down the dry grass and come down the ladder.

  "Zhiquan, how about I set up a hammock for you here? You lie down first!" Luo'er said, picking up a nylon rope.

  "Great, great! I loved playing this when I was a kid! Looking at the situation, your grass shed is set up to block out quite a bit of sunlight, and it's not too shady either, it must be very comfortable!" Chen Zhiquan was so happy that he had already forgotten about his pain.

  "Alright, just two minutes! I'll get it done now!" Luo Er said as she started to secure one end of the nylon rope and then began to weave it back and forth, tying knots. The whole process was completed in just a few minutes. She then secured the other end and tied both ends to two wooden stakes that had been chopped to size. And just like that, a hammock was born! It looked a bit loose and sloppy, hanging only about 60-70 cm off the ground, with black and white stripes, quite stylish.

  Luo'er had tried it out first before calling Chen Zhiquan to lie down. Zhiquan carefully lay on top, and only when he finally calmed his heart did he start to get restless again. Seeing his energetic movements, Luo'er asked him, "How is it? Is it okay?"

  Zhi Quan Le's mouth couldn't be closed, "D!"

  Looking at Lu Xiansheng's vinegar-eating expression, Zhi Quan couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Hahaha, Lu Xiansheng, do you know what it means to turn a curse into a blessing? This is the real example!"

  Xuan Sheng shook his head, "You'd better keep your mouth shut, otherwise I'll let you know again what it means to be too happy for your own good!"

  Zhi Quan sulkily stuck out his tongue, "Jealous of me, that little brat!"

  "It seems that Zhiquan is fine now! Luoer, let's prepare to go buy fish later?" Xiaoxuan helped Luoer pull out the fresh vegetables from the ground.

  Lao'er pulled out two large scallions, shook off the dirt on top and said to Xiao Xuan, "I don't know, going to Ruo Yun's house again wouldn't be good, although they pay us, but even the price they buy fish for is not enough, I'm embarrassed like this! I think I'll go to Wang Ma Zi's house up front later, let him catch a fish from his own pond and give him money, that's all!"

  "Don't bother, just wait, I'll go home and grab one, although our family mainly sells small things, we also have guests, passing drivers often come to our house for meals, so these things are essential, what's the harm in taking one out to eat? If customers don't order it, we'll just eat it ourselves. I'll go get it now, you just tidy up the ingredients here!" "Uh...I don't think that's a good idea..." Lu'er looked at Xiao Xuan with embarrassment.

  "What's wrong with that? Anyway, it's all edible wherever you take it. I'll put it at home, my mom's cooking is not as delicious as yours, I'm going now!" After finishing speaking, Xiaoxuan threw the just-picked vegetables into Lakou's basin and went home.

  "What's Xiao Xuan going to do? Isn't she eating here?" Zhi Quan asked Luo Er, looking at the back of Xiao Xuan who had just run out.

  "Oh?! She's gone to get fish, you just sit there quietly!" Lí Luòér replied.

  Xuan Sheng walked over, looking at Luo Er's vegetables with a gloomy expression, "Uh, is there anything I can help with?"

  "Nothing, haha, your main task is to accompany our young master Zhiquan, don't let him get hurt again, that's all! See if there's a way to prevent scarring on his face, otherwise he won't be able to find a wife in the future, I won't be responsible for it..." Li Lu'er's laughter made Chen Zhiquan's teeth ache with hatred.

  "Hmm, don't worry about this question!" Lu Xiansheng gave Chen Zhiquan a white eye, as if he would lack a wife? Even if he didn't want to, there would be a bunch of people sticking to him in the future... Ugh!

  "Don't be sulky, to be honest, I still don't understand what this word means, get out of here, you go and stay over there!" Li Lu'er pushed Lu Xiangsheng with her elbow, not wanting him to get in the way.

  Xuan Sheng wandered aimlessly around the entire courtyard for half a day, not knowing what he could do. Just as he sat down on the couch with Zhi Quan to discuss something, Li Chao rode back on that iron donkey, and the car horn kept ringing non-stop.

  "What are you doing? Why don't you come in?" Xuan Sheng asked Li Chao as he opened the door.

  Li Chao laughed and said, "Open both doors, I'll drive the car directly into the yard!"

  "Ah!" Xuan Sheng opened the gate and let Li Chao drive that motorcycle in.

  "La'er, your grandpa is here!" Xiaoxuan also got out of the same car, still holding a big fish in his hand.

  Luo'er ran out of the kitchen, wiped her hands on her apron, and together with Ruoyun helped her grandfather down. "Grandfather, I'm Luo'er, can you hear me clearly?" Luo'er supported her grandfather as he sat down on a low wall.

  "Alright, alright! Oh my child, I've already told your mom that I can manage on my own over there... Look at this good grandson of mine, insisting on bringing me here! Isn't this going to be a bother for all of you?" Although Grandpa said so with his mouth, in his heart it was as sweet as honey.

  Luo'er shook his head, "No trouble, Grandpa. I'll make you some fish to eat later. Now, why don't you go outside and get some sun? I've already set up the grass shed for you! Go try it out!" Luo'er supported Grandpa as he walked over, while Zhi Quan also made way with good timing, "Grandpa, sit down!"

  The old man sat on the drop bed made by his granddaughter, grinning from ear to ear. "Great, great! La'er's craftsmanship is getting better and better! Look at the thatched roof above your head, it's neither hot nor cold, how cozy!"

  Watching the old man's happiness, the children were also overjoyed. Li Chao took Ruo Yun to the main room to make Grandpa's bed, while Xiao Xuan and Luo Er went into the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous lunch. Meanwhile, Xuan Sheng and Zhi Quan moved two small stools and sat on either side of the old man, chatting with him to keep him company so he wouldn't feel lonely.

  The dishes were almost done, and Xiaoxuan came out to take care of the eating arrangements. First, she taught Leichao and Xuansheng to move the large table from the main room outside, then she herself rummaged around with Ruoyun to find enough stools for everyone to sit on. Next, they started placing the dishes on the table one by one. Looking at the full table of delicious food, Zhiquan couldn't help but feel hungry again. "Lei Luo'er, can I try some first?" Zhiquan asked with a mischievous grin.

  "Hey, are you looking for death? Your grandfather is right here, how can you behave like this, Chen Zhiquan? Didn't you learn anything in school? If not, I'll teach you now!" Xuan Sheng yelled at him, his usual calm demeanor lost, only Chen Zhiquan could make him lose control.

  "Haha, it seems that if this old man doesn't sit down to eat, none of you will go eat either. Alright then, let's eat first!" The old man sat down at the table with Xian Sheng's support. "Come on, everyone eat, pick up your chopsticks! Don't wait for Erzi for now... Xiaoxuan and Ruoyun can serve themselves..."

  "Luo Er, are you okay?" Xiao Xuan looked at Zhi Quan's wolfish eating and couldn't help but worry that before Luo Er even arrived, everything on the table would be swept away by Zhi Quan and Li Chao, two wolves from different places.

  Luo Er looked at them eating noisily on the table outside and told Xiao Xuan, "You guys eat first! I'll finish this last dish and come over!"

  The last dish had not yet been served, and Zhi Quan's saliva was almost flowing.

  "Here it is, be careful!" Luo Er placed the dishes on the table.

  "What dish is this? It smells so good?" Zhiquan asked.

  "Stewed mountain rabbit!" Luo Er laughed and told Zhi Quan.

  "Wow, rabbit meat? I've had it before, it's really delicious! Haha, I won't be polite, let me eat first!" Zhi Quan then picked up a rabbit hind leg with his chopsticks under everyone's gaze...

  "How come you're eating so late?" Lier's mother suddenly pushed open the door and sat down at the table after parking the car.

  "Mom, have you eaten yet? I'll serve some for you too!"

  Luo Er was about to take a bowl to scoop up the rice, but was pulled back by Li Jinyun: "No need, I've already eaten! Hehe, you guys eat!"

  "Mom, why are you back so early today?" Luo Er asked in puzzlement.

  "Haha! Good thing, I don't have to go to that workplace starting tomorrow, and from now on I'll be going to Fengyun instead! It's really great to be able to go to Fengyun, the hotel is clean and safe, with regular hours, rest time, and a salary that's even higher than ours!"

  With her mother's spirited and lively appearance, Xiaolei just smiled slightly, "Hehe, Mom, as long as you feel good, that's all that matters!"

  "Cloud, Luo Er has really grown up now and is very sensible!" The old man said with a smile as he looked at his daughter Li Jin Yun. Li Jin Yun nodded and stroked Luo Er's hair, "Yes, she's grown up!"

  At this time, Zhi Quan glanced at Lu Xuan Sheng, and Xuan Sheng also returned him a faint smile. Their first task had been completed with the help of his sister, and their next move was yet to come!
