Buy a house with 30,000 yuan and live in a small town

Chapter 550: Go ahead and compete for favor
Xu Qingsong was right. Not long after they drove out of the mall, they encountered a traffic jam during the evening rush hour. Fortunately, they were not far from grandpa's house, so the traffic jam didn't last long.

The place where Xu Qingsong's grandfather's house is located has been planned as a historical district. A commercial pedestrian street has been developed nearby. On weekdays, there are many tourists from all over the world, and it is bustling from morning to night.

Liu Wangxue has traveled to Beijing twice. Once was when she was in high school with her parents, mainly to visit places like the Forbidden City and the Great Wall; the other time was when she and Wenxi came here during college, one time to find inspiration for design, the other time to find inspiration for the script.

Since they didn't stay long both times, Liu Wangxue was not familiar with the road conditions in Beijing. Xu Qingsong didn't turn on the navigation, so she had no idea which direction the car was going.

As they approached the neighborhood, Liu Wangxue's memory came back to him. He was a little excited and said to Xu Qingsong, "Xixi and I have been here before!"

Xu Qingsong asked: "Come to travel?"

"Yeah," Liu Wangxue nodded and calculated the time. "It seems like seven or eight years ago. Yes, that is, during my sophomore year, during the National Day holiday that year."

Xu Qingsong thought, this is really fate: "Are there so many people?"

"So many!" Liu Wangxue recalled, "Not to mention people from all over the country, there are also people from all over the world. When Xixi and I were walking on the pedestrian street, we held hands tightly the whole time, for fear that the other would be squeezed and left behind, hahahaha..."

"There are indeed a lot of people, especially during the peak tourist season during holidays." Xu Qingsong laughed with her and turned the steering wheel into the alley.

Liu Wangxue also knew a little about the history of this neighborhood. More than a hundred years ago, it was a place where merchants lived. Merchants were rich and would not treat themselves harshly in terms of living conditions as long as they did not exceed the regulations. The courtyard houses in this area were at least three-story, and the roads were wide enough.

It was already dark, the street lights were dim, and Liu Wangxue couldn't tell which alley Xu Qingsong had turned into. After driving a little further, she stopped behind a car leaning against a wall. She noticed that there was also a crooked tree leaning against a wall in front of the right side of the car window.

"Huh?" Liu Wangxue felt that she seemed to remember.

Xu Qingsong had just taken out the key and unbuckled his seat belt when he heard the sound and looked over and asked her, "What's wrong?"

Liu Wangxue opened the car door and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go down and take a look first."

Xu Qingsong got out of the car and opened the back door, picking up the shopping bags of various sizes. He then walked around the back of the car and saw Liu Wangxue had already walked over, looking up at the crooked tree opposite. He quickly stood beside her, hugged her and looked up with her: "Have you been here?"

Liu Wangxue asked him: "Is this a jujube tree?"

Xu Qingsong nodded, raised his hand holding the shopping bag and pointed at the Ruyi Gate across the street. "The tree is about 150 years old. It was planted by Grandpa Sun's ancestors. It still produces a lot of dates every year. When I was a child, when the dates were ripe, my cousins ​​and I, as well as the brothers and sisters across the street, would climb up the tree to pick them, and Grandpa Sun and Grandma Sun would hold a small basket below to catch them."

This jujube tree is lush and leafy, and produces a lot of jujubes every year. Grandpa Sun's family can't finish eating them, so they pick them and give them to their neighbors. In particular, they like to give them to Grandpa Xu Qingsong's family across the street. The purpose is to let the chefs of the Meng family study food based on jujubes, so that he can come and have a bite from time to time.

Liu Wangxue said excitedly, "That's it! That time Xixi and I were strolling and we came here. It was lunch time and we were tired and hungry. Suddenly we saw the tree full of jujubes and almost drooled. Xixi said she didn't want to walk any further and asked me if she could pick two to fill her stomach. I said why don't we stand here and rest for a while to see if anyone comes out of the yard and then spend money to buy some, hahaha..."

"And then?" Xu Qingsong saw her smiling happily and became happy too.

Liu Wangxue pointed into the alley and said, "Xixi and I were just talking when an old man came over from over there. He saw us looking up at the tree and asked us if we wanted to eat some. We were really embarrassed at the time, hahahaha… Then the old man suddenly jumped up, pulled down a branch full of fruits, and quickly picked quite a few and stuffed them into our hands."

Liu Wangxue and Wenxi were at a loss and asked him if he was the owner of the house and wanted to pay him.

The old man waved his hand and said cheerfully, "It's alright, take them and eat them. There are so many dates every year that my family can't eat them all, so we give them away everywhere. If you two want to eat more, just pick them for yourselves. Don't be polite."

Liu Wangxue and Wenxi felt too embarrassed to do so. They thanked him hurriedly and left with the dates.

After hearing this, Xu Qingsong said, "Then the person you two met at that time must have been Grandpa Sun." Then he said in an incredible tone, "So you and I are so predestined—"

Before Xu Qingsong could continue, the Ruyi Gate opposite opened and an old man in a windbreaker and a woolen hat walked out. Their eyes met, and Xu Qingsong was the first to greet them: "Grandpa Sun!"

Grandpa Sun said happily, "Aiya!" and walked down the steps briskly: "Little Qingsong is back!"

Xu Qingsong took Liu Wangxue two steps forward and asked, "Where are you going so late at night?"

"I just finished my meal and went out to digest it." Grandpa Sun looked at Liu Wangxue and asked Xu Qingsong, "Did you bring your girlfriend back for dinner?"

"Ah." Xu Qingsong responded and introduced the two people.

Liu Wangxue also shouted, "Hello, Grandpa Sun."

"Okay!" Grandpa Sun agreed cheerfully, and then said to Xu Qingsong, "You don't know, ever since you got a girlfriend, your grandpa has been showing off to me every day, not to mention how cocky he is. Today you were going to bring your girlfriend home for dinner, and he started showing off to me yesterday, going in and out early in the morning to buy this and that, and making a lot of noise to get the whole table. Hey, it's really unbearable to watch!"

Grandpa Sun insulted Grandpa Meng, but his expression showed genuine joy and envy. He didn't even give Xu Qingsong and Liu Wangxue a chance to say anything, and then asked Liu Wangxue affectionately, "Your name is Xuxu, right?"

Liu Wangxue nodded: "Yes."

"Wait, grandpa will get you something delicious." After Grandpa Sun said this, without waiting for Liu Wangxue to react, he turned around and walked back, took three or two steps up the stairs and entered the door.

Liu Wangxue had no choice but to look at Xu Qingsong: "This..."

Xu Qingsong hugged her and said with a smile: "Grandpa Sun is like this. All the children of my generation in the alley were raised by him. He likes children and the way he expresses his love is to feed them. My cousins ​​and I have never stopped feeding them since we were young. As for you, you are my girlfriend now, so naturally you are the one he feeds."

Liu Wangxue also smiled and whispered to him, "I didn't expect that I would be recognized by the neighbors before I even entered your grandpa's house."

Xu Qingsong praised her: "You are loved by everyone!"

Liu Wangxue also praised him: "Then you are the one who makes flowers bloom when you see them."

Xu Qingsong was proud: "So we are a perfect match."

The two of them looked at each other and laughed.

Not long after, Grandpa Sun came out, holding a bulging cloth bag in his hand. Grandma Sun followed him, and both of them walked briskly.

As soon as Grandma Sun showed up, she walked towards Liu Wangxue, her chubby face full of amiable smiles: "This is Xiao Qingsong's girlfriend, so pretty!"

Xu Qingsong introduced Liu Wangxue to him, and they greeted each other together.

Grandpa Sun came over and handed the cloth bag to Liu Wangxue: "Dried jujubes, his grandmother and I made them ourselves, take them back and try them."

Liu Wangxue held it in both hands and thanked the two elders.

Xu Qingsong directly opened the cloth bag and took one out to eat, making a "crunch" sound: "Crispy?"

Grandma Sun said, "Yes, they are crispy. Your brother Jiaming bought a machine during the Lantern Festival. I basically made all the dates stored at home into this kind of food. I removed the pits and ate them as snacks. They are also easier to preserve."

Xu Qingsong took another one and fed it to Liu Wangxue. Liu Wangxue tasted it and felt that it was very similar to the freeze-dried dates that she had bought before and usually used to make tea or soak water at home. However, the dried ones did not taste as good as this one. She didn't know if it was because of the cooking method or the variety, but the texture and taste of this one was obviously better.

"It's delicious!" Liu Wangxue's eyes lit up.

Grandpa Sun and Grandma Sun were very happy to see that she liked it. Grandma Sun said to her, "It's good that you like it. It replenishes qi and blood and beautifies the skin. You girls should eat more. There is still a lot at home. Come over before you leave and I will fill more for you."

Grandpa Sun took the opportunity to complain to Xu Qingsong: "I knew you young people like to eat them. I asked your grandfather to send them to you earlier, but he didn't like my two dates. Humph!"

Liu Wangxue took another one and ate it. She thought Grandpa Sun was really a child and couldn't help laughing.

Xu Qingsong coaxed Grandpa Sun: "How could my grandpa be like this! I will go back and tell him about it. He is such a jerk. He really let you down."

"That's right!" Grandpa Sun was satisfied and felt that he had turned the game around.

He wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Grandma Sun: "Alright, let the two kids go back quickly." Then she said to Xu Qingsong and Liu Wangxue: "It's cold outside, and you two aren't dressed very warmly. Go back and have dinner quickly, and come to Grandma's house when you have time."

The two said goodbye to the old couple, and Grandpa Sun waved his hand: "I'm leaving, I'm going to take a walk."

Grandma Sun turned and walked towards the gate, muttering to herself, "I'm going to call Jiaming. Xiao Qingsong has come back with his girlfriend, but there's still no news from his brother. I'm already buried up to my neck in the earth, and I have only one wish before I die, which is to hold my great-grandson in my arms..."

When Grandpa Sun heard this, he turned on tiptoe and walked towards the gate: "Yes, call! Call now!" Why take a detour? His grandson's life is more important!
Liu Wangxue held the cloth bag in her hand, took Xu Qingsong's arm and followed him into the alley, deliberately squeezing him: "Little Qingsong~"

Xu Qingsong scratched her waist unceremoniously: "What did you call me?"

Even through several layers of clothes, Liu Wangxue still felt tickled, so she hugged his arm tighter, laughing and changing the subject: "The old man Xixi and I met was really Grandpa Sun. I didn't expect that after so many years, he hasn't aged at all."

Xu Qingsong said: "Grandpa Sun has no worries. He just eats, drinks and keeps fit every day. He even goes swimming in the lake in the winter."

"So severe!" Liu Wangxue was extremely surprised. How cold must the weather be in Jing City? In Taojia Village in Xi City, she trembled even when she washed her hands with cold water when it was cold.

"He participates in the city's annual winter swimming competition. He won the runner-up last year and said he would strive for the championship this year." Xu Qingsong admired him very much.

"Wow!" Liu Wangxue exclaimed, she admired him even more.

Xu Qingsong's thoughts suddenly jumped: "You said you and Wenxi came here for tourism. What a coincidence. I remember that I spent the National Day at my grandfather's house. Do you think it is possible that we met each other?"

Liu Wangxue thought about it and said, "I don't think it's likely."

They looked at each other, and under the streetlight, they saw a tacit understanding with smiles in each other's eyes. Liu Wangxue counted 123, and they both spoke at the same time -

Xu Qingsong: "You are so beautiful. If I meet you, I will definitely be impressed."

Liu Wangxue: "You are so handsome. If I meet you, there is no way I will not be impressed."

After saying that, they both laughed out loud.

The next moment, Xu Qingsong brought Liu Wangxue to a Ruyi gate. Liu Wangxue looked up and saw that it was similar in style to the gate of Grandpa Sun's house, but the lintel was more elaborate and the area of ​​brick carving was larger. A light bulb hung on the eaves, with a warm yellow light, could faintly see that the carvings were flowers such as peonies.

As Xu Qingsong led her up the stairs and stopped in front of the vermilion door, the door opened and a tall lady appeared. Her voice and figure appeared in the light under the eaves at the same time: "The old man and the old lady are waiting anxiously, and they insisted that I come out to see. I haven't even reached the door yet, but I can hear your laughter through the wall. What interesting things are you talking about?"

Xu Qingsong immediately smiled and called out "Sister": "No, I just ran into Grandpa Sun who was taking a walk and chatted with him for a while." After that, he introduced her to Liu Wangxue, and Liu Wangxue followed him to call people.

This person is Xu Qingsong's cousin, Meng Donghua, the daughter of his uncle Meng Duanyang. She is dressed in a casual new Chinese style. Her long black hair is gathered behind her head and tied into a bun with a wooden hairpin. The sharp lines on her face are softened under the light.

Meng Donghua heard Liu Wangxue calling her, and responded affectionately, and then pulled Liu Wangxue's hand: "Come in, come in."

Meng Donghua ignored Xu Qingsong and walked straight inside with Liu Wangxue, asking her if she was used to living in Beijing these past two days and how she was eating. Liu Wangxue answered all the questions and said, "I just feel that the air is a bit dry."

Meng Donghua was deeply touched and smiled, "That's right, especially in winter and spring. It's so annoying when the seasons change." She took a look at Liu Wangxue's skin in the light and thought it was pretty good: "I recently bought a facial mask that's pretty good. I'll ask Qingsong to get it for me later. Moisturizing is very important in this season."

Liu Wangxue thanked her first, and then said, "I brought them all."

Xu Qingsong looked at their backs and smiled, then resigned himself to going in alone, closing and bolting the gate, and quickly followed.

Turn left at the screen wall, pass through a moon gate to reach the outer courtyard, and then pass through a hanging flower gate to enter the brightly lit inner courtyard, where the view is much wider.

The layout of the quadrangle can be seen at a glance. The corridor of the hanging flower gate connects the east and west wing rooms to the main house. There are two trees planted in the yard, but now the bare branches cannot tell the species. There are many flower pots on the railings of the corridor behind the trees, planted with succulents and other flowers. Similar to Xie Zhuoyi's house, an area in the yard is also set aside for landscape design, with a larger area and more exquisite layout.

Before Liu Wangxue had time to take a closer look, Meng Donghua took her arm and led them through the inner courtyard to the main house.

Meng Donghua opened the door with her hand wearing a jade bracelet and a plain ring, and said in a high voice: "Look who's here?"

In the main room, Grandpa Meng was playing chess with his uncle Meng Duanyang, while Grandma Meng was sitting on the sofa chatting with Xu Qingsong's aunt and cousin's wife. Xu Qingsong's cousin and brother-in-law were sandwiched between the three children, watching them doing their homework on the coffee table.

As soon as Meng Donghua said this, everyone's eyes immediately turned towards the door.

The air seemed to be quiet for a second, maybe a second, Liu Wangxue felt, and then she was surrounded by the enthusiasm of this family. Liu Wangxue thought, fortunately she is not socially anxious, otherwise she really wants to find a place to hide. The only exceptions are the three children. They are not familiar with Liu Wangxue, but they are very close to Xu Qingsong who came in later. The moment they saw Xu Qingsong, they all stood up, bypassed the sofa and adults, and ran over screaming.

Xu Qingsong had his hands full of things, so he had to put them aside and squatted to greet the three little bullies.

Three little bullies fighting for the throne——

My cousin Meng Qiushi’s first-grade son Lang Lang said, “Uncle, hold me first. I ran over here first!”

Lang Lang's sister Ran Ran, who is in the senior class of kindergarten, said: "Brother, you have to let me, I am the younger sister, uncle should hold me first!"

My cousin Meng Donghua’s son Nuonuo, who is in the middle class of kindergarten, tried hard to squeeze his brothers and sisters away: "Uncle wants to hold me first, I'm the youngest!"

This kind of scene often played out in front of Xu Qingsong. Every time, he would first treat all three children equally, stretch out his long arms, and hug all three children in his arms: "Don't fight or grab. A loving family should hug each other."

"Let's hug together!" the three children repeated in unison.

Nuonuo in the middle hugged Xu Qingsong's neck. Langlang and Ranran put their hands on the left and right, and hugged Nuonuo at the same time. The outermost ones were hugged by Xu Qingsong again, and they were very affectionate for a while.

After they finished hanging out at the door, Meng Donghua and Liu Wangxue had already introduced everyone. Xu Qingsong picked up the shopping bag next to him, asked the three kids to go to the sofa, and said to Meng Donghua, "Sister, why did you take my job?"

Meng Donghua laughed at him and said, "Then you should make some time for it!"

Everyone in the room laughed at Xu Qingsong, and then one by one praised him, saying how much the three children liked him.

The three children had already returned to their respective parents, and were brought to meet Liu Wangxue, saying, "Hello, Auntie."

Liu Wangxue took out three prepared red envelopes from her bag and gave them to the three children. Meng Donghua and Xu Qingsong's cousin Yu Qian hurriedly reached out to stop them.

Liu Wangxue gave the money sincerely, not out of pretense, and said that it was not long after the Spring Festival, so she would treat it as New Year's money for the three children. She was generous and thoughtful, so Meng Donghua and Yu Qian couldn't refuse it, so they let the children accept it and thank them.

Xu Qingsong was slightly surprised when he saw Liu Wangxue take out the red envelope. He didn't know when she prepared it. When she sat back beside him, he couldn't help but hold her hand and look at her gently with a smile.

Liu Wangxue gave him a look in return, as if to say "I can't embarrass you", which made the smile in Xu Qingsong's eyes deepen.

Naturally, everyone could see their eye contact. My aunt then joked, "Qingsong and Xuxu have such a good relationship. No wonder they look like a couple. Look at how well they understand each other. They don't even need to talk. They just rely on eye contact."

Everyone laughed good-naturedly, and Mrs. Meng, Meng Donghua, and Yu Qian started talking one by one.

Seeing that Liu Wangxue was embarrassed, Xu Qingsong changed the subject and brought a pile of packaging bags beside him to him. He picked out the ones for the old man and the old lady first and said, "Grandma and grandpa, this is the gift Xuxu brought for you. Do you like it?"

The two elders took it cheerfully and said to Liu Wangxue, "We are just here for a simple meal, why are you spending so much money?" They also scolded Xu Qingsong, "Why didn't you stop us?"

Xu Qingsong laughed: "How can I stop him?"

Liu Wangxue patted him subtly and said to the two elders, "It's my duty. But I didn't know what grandma and grandpa liked, so I asked Qingsong to help pick it out."

There were gifts not only for the two elders, but also for uncles and aunts, cousins ​​and their wives, and cousins ​​and their husbands. Just like when I went to Xu Qingsong's house yesterday, the gifts were all chosen based on his suggestions, and naturally they touched everyone's heart, and the laughter and surprise sounds in the main room never stopped.

After distributing the gifts to the adults, Nuonuo, who was leaning against her father's legs, looked around. In her hand, she still held the red envelope that Liu Wangxue had just given her. She ran to her and said, "Auntie, where is Nuonuo's gift?"

Nuonuo thought, since all the adults in the house had one, the children should have one too. Moreover, his aunt said that the red envelope was New Year's money. He always received New Year's money and gifts together during the Chinese New Year, so he thought that if there was New Year's money, then there would definitely be gifts.

Meng Donghua quickly called out to Nuonuo, waved him back, and said softly, "You already have a red envelope."

Nuonuo turned back to look at her mother, then looked down at the red envelope in her hand and asked in confusion: "But, a red envelope is not a gift."

After all, Lang Lang is older and more sensible. He said to Nuonuo: "The red envelope is a gift."

Ranran also said yes.

Since her brother and sister all said yes, Nuonuo stopped hesitating, but her little expression was still full of disappointment.

Liu Wangxue was so fond of the cute Nuonuo that she touched his chubby face while giving him the red envelope. Before Nuonuo could turn around and go back to Meng Donghua, she held him in her arms and couldn't help touching his face: "Of course we have gifts, everyone has them, how can our little Nuonuo be left out?"

Nuo Nuo's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Liu Wangxue nodded: "Of course it's true!"

Lang Lang and Ran Ran also ran over after hearing this: "Auntie, can I have one too?"

Seeing this, Xu Qingsong was amused. He suddenly wanted to tease the child, so he put his hand on Liu Wangxue's arm to give her a hint, and continued: "We have both, but it will take some magic time."

"What magic time?" The three children were distracted together.

Liu Wangxue cooperated with Xu Qingsong: "It's just that the gifts are still at my aunt's house. It will take some time to get them over."

Xu Qingsong began to direct: "Stand in line, close your eyes, and chant the spell with me."

The three little guys followed each instruction and stood in order of height. They covered their eyes with their hands and chanted the spell with Xu Qingsong.

Xu Qingsong took the opportunity to take out three boxes one by one from a larger shopping bag beside him without making any sound, and then handed them to Meng Qiushi beside him, indicating that he should put them on the coffee table behind the three children.

Meng Qiushi was a little far from the coffee table, and he couldn't get up for fear of making a sound that would expose his behavior. So he held back his laughter and handed the box to his wife, who then passed it to her side. Finally, it was Grandpa Meng who put it on the table.

Xu Qingsong and the three children repeated the incomprehensible spell three times. When he saw that everything was ready, he signaled Liu Wangxue to finish.

Liu Wangxue took over the baton: "Okay, now you can turn around, turn back!"

The three children turned around at the same time. Nuonuo even tripped herself and almost lost her balance. Fortunately, Liu Wangxue was quick to catch her.

Liu Wangxue continued: "Now please put your hands down and open your eyes."

The three children's movements were synchronized, and the sounds of surprise were also synchronized.

Lang Lang: "Diga!"

Ran Ran: "Little Prince!"

Nuonuo: "Frog!"

The whole family no longer held back their laughter and the whole house was filled with joy.

The three children held the boxes and said thank you to Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong very happily. Liu Wangxue took the opportunity to hug Nuonuo, and Ranran also squeezed into her arms. Seeing this, Langlang occupied Xu Qingsong's arms alone.

My cousin's husband sighed pretentiously, "See, no wonder the three of them like Qingsong, it makes sense. Now that Xuxu is here, my status as a father and uncle is going to decline again."

Meng Donghua glanced at him and said, "What's the point of sighing? Go ahead and win favor!"

Everybody laughed together, and Mr. Meng and Mrs. Meng's wrinkles became much deeper as they laughed. They just liked this kind of family happiness with many children and grandchildren.

The three children had already opened the boxes and started playing with them. Everyone sat and chatted for a while, then Grandpa Meng told them to eat, and everyone started to move.

The kitchen was on the side of the east wing. Liu Wangxue was arranged to stay and look after the children with Old Lady Meng. She took them to wash their hands, while others went to the kitchen to bring over the food and dishes.

The right side of the main hall was converted into a dining room, with a large round table that can seat more than ten people. There was no other way, as the Meng family was large, plus Grandpa Meng's four apprentices, and if everyone came together during the New Year or other holidays, they would have to set up another table in the main hall.

Seeing that all the dishes were served, Mr. Meng and Xu Qingsong had not arrived yet, everyone chatted in the main room and waited for a while.

Not long after, Mr. Meng and Xu Qingsong came over together: "Why are you all sitting here? Let's go and eat."

Everyone then went to the restaurant on the right. Liu Wangxue noticed that Xu Qingsong was holding a plate of fried shrimps, which seemed to be freshly cooked. Xu Qingsong even raised the plate towards Liu Wangxue, and Liu Wangxue had a guess in her mind.

Mrs. Meng took Liu Wangxue's hand and asked her to sit next to her. Liu Wangxue was embarrassed and refused repeatedly.

My aunt then came to help and pushed Liu Wangxue into her seat, saying with a smile, "It's not necessary to be particular about family meals. Just sit with the old lady." But she was worried that Liu Wangxue would feel reserved, so she turned around and called Xu Qingsong over to sit next to her.

Everyone picked up their chopsticks. My aunt first told Liu Wangxue to eat more, and then she said, "All the dishes on this table were cooked by the old man himself. Xuxu, you don't know that the old man hasn't been in the kitchen for a long time. Everyone in the family is envious of his cooking skills. It's not easy for you to come, so we can take advantage of it."

She was just being polite. Mr. Meng was old and didn't cook often, but he would usually cook when he felt like it, especially when someone in the family had a birthday. A bowl of delicious longevity noodles would definitely be a must.

Liu Wangxue naturally knew that her aunt was trying to give her face, but her aunt didn't exaggerate. She had heard it from Grandpa Sun when she met him outside. Just like when she went to Xu Qingsong's house yesterday, she didn't expect Xu Qingsong's family to attach so much importance to her arrival. She felt indescribably touched and warm in her heart.

After hearing this, Liu Wangxue immediately thanked Grandpa Meng. Grandpa Meng passed the fried shrimp to her and asked her to taste it with a smile: "Qingsong said you like this, try it now. His mediocre skills can never make it taste this good!"

Xu Qingsong said dejectedly: "Grandpa, can we please stop pulling each other down?"

Meng Duanyang replied: "Yes, Dad, why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?"

Meng Qiushi also said: "Yes, Grandpa, it is not appropriate to use a cannon to shoot mosquitoes."

Xu Qingsong smiled: "Uncle, you are really my uncle!" He then said to Meng Qiushi: "You are also my brother!"

Old Madam Meng pointed at the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren and said, "You guys really don't understand romance. Can what Qingsong did compare to what others did?"

Meng Donghua and Yu Qian immediately agreed, and they made the same gesture in tacit understanding: "Yes, yes, yes, then Qingsong must have done it with love."

The three children followed suit and made a heart shape in front of their chests: "Love——"

My cousin's husband also said, "Xu Xu, the pressure is on you. You have to be fair and just in deciding which one tastes better."

Under the gaze of everyone, Liu Wangxue openly picked up a shrimp and put it into her mouth. After eating, she put down her chopsticks and took Xu Qingsong's hand, saying, "I can't deny your love, but in terms of strength, your skills are indeed mediocre."

Xu Qingsong performed a scene where he was shot on the spot.

A table of people laughed.

The three children followed suit and immediately jumped off their seats and ran towards Xu Qingsong.

Lang Lang: "Uncle was shot, we have to save him!"

Ran Ran: “CPR!”

Nuonuo: "Artificial respiration!"

Xu Qingsong immediately sat up straight and stopped them: "I'm fine, I'm cured, one, two, three, sit back and eat."

The three little guys braked at the same time and went back to their seats obediently.

The adults also started eating and chatting. Old Mrs. Meng kept picking up dishes for Liu Wangxue, letting her taste every dish on the table and asking her in detail which one she liked.

Liu Wangxue naturally said it was delicious, and not surprisingly, she was full. In the end, she had to secretly ask Xu Qingsong for help. Xu Qingsong came over to stop her, and only then did Mrs. Meng stop persuading her to eat more.
