"Thank you, ma'am." Xia Xiaoqin thanked her in a sweet voice.

"Thank you." Xia Xiaoxuan replied politely.

Mrs. Li, who originally liked children, felt her heart melt when she saw these two cute and sensible little guys. She didn't know how to treat them well.

"Good boy, good boy." She praised repeatedly.

Xia Xiaoqin was not afraid of strangers. When she saw that Old Mrs. Li liked them, she stepped forward and took her hand, shouting "Ah" one after another.

Grandma Li was so excited when she heard this that she almost smiled with her teeth.

A few people walked and talked and laughed, and in a short time they arrived in front of grandma's house.

The former small tile-roofed houses have now been renovated and built into large buildings.

The house has three floors in total, and they are all relatively well built in the village.

Xia Qingrou said with a smile: "Grandma, this house is getting better and better as we build it. It's really impressive to build such a big house."

"If anything, this is built with our family's savings over the years. It's not just so that our son can find a good wife. It's not like you don't know that our village is remote. Most girls are not willing to marry in a place like this. If the house If you don't look good enough, I'm afraid it won't be easy for your daughter-in-law to marry." Old Mrs. Li said helplessly but happily.

"Yes, but no one can say for sure about feelings. It will happen naturally when fate comes." Xia Qingrou said with a smile, and then looked back at Shi Fuxun.

She and him came together after going round and round just because of Yue Lao's red thread.

"That's what I say, but this house always needs to be renovated." Grandma Li said as she took out the key and opened the door.

"Go in and take a rest first." After she entered, she led them to the room on the second floor.

She pointed at the guest room and said with a smile: "This room has better lighting. Can you just stay in this room for the next few days?"

"Okay, I'm really sorry to bother you with such trouble." Xia Qingrou said politely.

Shi Fuxun walked in, put his luggage in the corner of the room, turned back and said to Mrs. Li, "Thank you."

Seeing that they had tutors and were well-educated, Grandma Li became more and more satisfied.

Hey, why are you so polite? Your grandma used to take care of me when I was young. Now that she is gone, she should take care of you. Mrs. Li waved her hands and said with a smile.

"Child, are you thirsty?" Then she took Xia Xiaoqin's little hand and asked with concern.

She really liked these two little guys.

Xia Xiaoqin nodded slightly and said in a sweet voice, "Ah, Tai, do you have some water?"

"Yes, yes, I'll buy you some milk." As she said that, she pulled the two little guys towards the living room.

Mrs. Li took out two bottles of pure milk from the milk box and handed them in front of them: "Here, drink pure milk and grow taller."

"Thank you, Tai." The two little guys responded in unison.

Mrs. Li suddenly burst out laughing: "How good."

"Go sit on the sofa and drink, and I'll wash you some fruit to eat."

She raised her head and glanced at Shi Fuxun and Xia Qingrou, then walked to the refrigerator, took out a few bottles of drinks, and put them in front of them: "I don't know what you like to drink, just choose what you want. Don’t be polite to me.”

Xia Qingrou hurriedly waved her hands and said sheepishly: "No need to bother, we can just drink boiled water."

"It's okay. There are a lot of these things at home, and even an old lady like me can't drink them." Old Mrs. Li looked at them with a smile on her face.

Then he turned around and walked to the refrigerator, taking out fresh grapes, blood oranges, strawberries, avocados, raw fruits...

"You guys sit here and wait, I'll wash up and come back." Mrs. Li said and walked to the kitchen with a pile of fruits.

"Grandma Li, stop being busy, we won't eat..." Seeing this, Xia Qingrou hurriedly stopped her.

"Oh, I wash it for you to eat, so you just eat it, otherwise I will think that you don't like my old woman's food." Li Apo said pretending to be angry.

Xia Qingrou explained helplessly: "What are you talking about? I'm just sorry to trouble you so much."

"It's okay." Mrs. Li's voice came from the kitchen.

Xia Qingrou sat next to the two little guys and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

How come there are so many fresh fruits in an old man's home?

In addition, Xiaozhou Village is relatively remote. Even if you go to town to buy, you may not be able to buy such good fruits.

She frowned slightly, turned back to Shi Fuxun and asked, "Do you feel anything is wrong?"

Shi Fuxun stretched out his index finger and placed it on her lips, then made a silent gesture and deliberately lowered his tone and said: "Be careful, walls have ears."

Xia Qingrou was stunned, and suddenly regretted bringing the two little ones to live at Grandma Li's house.

After all, people are far apart from each other. She hasn't seen her for so many years, and she doesn't know how Mrs. Li is doing.

Xia Qingrou couldn't help but feel wary inside, but she still remained calm on the outside.

Shi Fuxun knew her worries, so he deliberately lowered his tone and said in her ear: "It's okay, she shouldn't harm us."

"Well, it's better to be careful."

As soon as Xia Qingrou finished speaking, Grandma Li came out of the kitchen with a large basin of fruit: "The fruits are washed, children, come and eat."

Mrs. Li put the fruit plate on the coffee table and gave the two little guys a few strawberries each: "Come and eat this. These are fresh milky strawberries, very sweet."

Xia Xiaoqin looked at the strawberry in her hand, and then looked at Xia Qingrou.

Seeing their mother nodding, she dared to reach out and take it: "Thank you, Tai."

"You're welcome, there's still more here after eating." Old Mrs. Li looked at the little guy in front of her with a kind face.

Then she turned back to Xia Qingrou and the others and smiled: "Eat the fruit quickly, don't be polite to me, just treat it as your own home."

"You go ahead and eat. We won't eat. The sun isn't very bright right now. I want to go back home and have a look." Xia Qingrou waved her hand and said.

Mrs. Li hurriedly stood up to stop her and said, "What's the rush? It's not too late to go later."

Xia Qingrou lowered her head and glanced at the watch on her wrist. It was already past four-fifty, then she asked, "Grandma, do you know where my grandma is buried?"

"I know, you want to go take a look?" Old Mrs. Li's face suddenly darkened.

Xia Qingrou asked in a hoarse voice: "If we want to go, can you tell us where it is?"

"Yes, yes, but I suggest you go there tomorrow morning. Later you can visit the place where you used to live." The smile on her face became a little unnatural.

When Mrs. Li saw a look of confusion on Xia Qingrou's face, she immediately smiled and explained: "Your grandma's graveyard is far away from here. If you go now, it may be too late to come back in time."
