Qibao exclaimed: "Grandpa, what are you talking about! You will surely live a long life, don't say such things, if you are gone, what will Qibao do?"
The old man smiled and said: "Grandpa doesn't say that, Grandpa still has to watch our Qibao grow up and get married!"
Wang said: "This old man is just talking nonsense, Qibao is still young! In the future, even if we find a grandson-in-law, we'll have to find one in our neighborhood, so that Grandma will be able to see Qibao whenever she wants to in the future."
Qibao said: "Grandma, I'll listen to you, I'll look for one close to our house, if it doesn't work out I'll recruit a husband!"
Lin laughed and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about, girl! You're not ashamed to say that either!"
Li remarked: "Third sibling, I'll agree with what Qibao said, with Qibao's skills, what's wrong with finding a door-to-door son-in-law! The man's family will even burn high incense and send their son to our house!"
For a moment, everyone in the Xu family laughed out loud. Xu Laosan said: "I only have this one daughter, it's not easy to be my son-in-law, he must love Qibao as much as we do!"
Qibao's face turned red when she was told that. She had lived for more than 20 years in her previous life and had never had a boyfriend, so now she felt a little uncomfortable hearing her family discussing this kind of thing, so she interrupted and said: "Grandpa, I want to give you a gift!"
Elder Xu became interested and asked: "Qibao, what kind of gift are you going to give me?"
Qibao took out the family portrait painted in the space and said: "Grandpa, won't you open it up and see?"
The whole family gathered around and came over curiously. The old man opened the drawing paper and there was a portrait of the family drawn on it. The painting shows the old man and Mrs. Wang sits in the middle, with their son and 2nd daughter-in-law standing behind them, and a row of carrot heads hiding in front of them. Everyone has a different look on their face. But they were all looking forward with smiles on their faces, even Xiaoba and Bai Shuang Baixue were painted in them.
The family looked at it and exclaimed: "It's so much like me, it's more like me than when I look in the mirror."
The old man said: "Yes, your painting of Qibao looks so similar!"
Xiaoliu also squeezed forward and shouted: "Let me see, let me see!" He scanned the painting with his eyes, pointed at himself in the painting and said happily: "This is me! This is the eldest brother, the second brother, the others, and Xiaoba!"
The old man held the painting with caution and said: "Go! Take your hand away, don't damage the painting!" After saying that, he began to examine it again.
The old man held the painting in front of Xiaoba and the white wolf who were lying on their backs, and said with a smile: "You three, take a look, there are you too! How handsome!"
Xiaoba shook his tail, Bai Shuang and Bai Xue stared at the painting, stretched out his paw and put it on the painting!
The old man quickly picked up the painting and said in a coquettish voice: "Don't you scratch the paper, this is my granddaughter's drawing, if you want it, find one of your granddaughters to draw it." After saying that, he turned around and returned to his seat, and the white wolf's eyes looked at the old man grudgingly.
The whole family was speechless, and Mrs. Wang said: "You old man, you are so old, how come you are not as good as Xiaoliu!"
The old man smiled awkwardly and said: "I'm just happy. This is my favorite gift I've ever received!"
Mrs. Zhang boasted: "Our family Qibao is still very capable. Look at the poets and painters. Could it be that being the apprentice of an old god has turned her into a fairy girl?"
Mrs. Li answered: "Sister-in-law, aren't the disciples of gods half-gods? Only Qibao in this world has such a blessing!"
Xu Dabo said happily: "The greatest thing in the world has happened to our family, doesn't it mean that our family is blessed too?"
The whole family burst out laughing, even Xiaoliu giggled with his little white teeth!
Qibao said: "Let's hang the painting at home so that everyone can see it!"
The old man objected: "No, I will hang it in my room, but not outside. If someone sees it, it's hard to explain. Our family is all farmers, and no one has the ability to paint like this. Qibao is still young, so we can't let her ability be exposed too soon!"
Qibao was deeply touched. No matter where she was, her family was thinking of her, and even this little thing could be associated with her safety.
The others felt that it was a pity, but they all understood what the old man meant, Xu Dabo said: "Okay, just listen to our dad, I'll measure the size, make a frame, put the painting in it, and hang it up!"
Xu Laoer and Xu Laosan said: "Big brother, we'll come and help you!" After saying that, they ran to the utility room to look for tools.
The Xu family had a warm scene, but far away in a palace in the capital, in a luxurious room, a wide plucked bed a woman dressed in white lingerie face some pale leaning sitting on the bed, the stomach is also hitched to a bed of light yellow silk quilt.
A middle-aged woman dressed as a grandma held a teacup in her hand and said: "Madame, drink some hot water to warm yourself up. It's getting colder today, so you should pay attention to your health!"
The gorgeous lady waved her hands and said: "I am getting older, and my body has always been sick. Half of my body is about to be buried. I am just lying in bed waiting to die!"
The nanny said anxiously: "Madame, you can't say that. If you are gone, it will be meaningless for me to live!"
The luxurious lady said: "I know how you feel. You have followed me since I was a child and have taken good care of me. Now I am ill in bed. If there is such a day, you can help me take care of Chen'er. This is my last wish!"
The grandma fell to her knees on the ground, with tears in her eyes, and said: "Madame, as the Empress Dowager, you will be fine, the Third Highness is closest to you, and at a young age, he goes around looking for life renewing ginseng for you, you can't give up!"
The Empress Dowager sighed and said: "How could I not understand what you are talking about! Chen'er has been growing up by my side and is very filial to me. How could I safely leave him behind? But these five hundred years of ginseng are not so easy to find. The Emperor has already sent people to search for it for two years, but there was no news at all!"
The grandma wiped her tears and said: "It will be possible. His Highness the Third Highness went out with Mr. Su and hasn't come back for such a long time. Maybe there will be news?"
The Empress Dowager sighed: "I hope so, but I'm a little worried whether Chen'er will be in danger!"
At this moment, a little maid from outside happily trotted in and said: "Your Majesty, the Third Highness is back and is heading here!"
The Empress Dowager was so happy that she stood up and said: "Seriously, help me sit up quickly. If Chen'er sees me like this, he will worry about me again. He is still young and cannot worry about me."
Grandma said anxiously: "Madame, please lie down quickly. The imperial doctor said that you need to stay in bed and rest. You can't get out of bed!"
At this moment, hurried footsteps came from outside the door, and a young boy with a serious face came in from the outside.
When the Empress Dowager saw the person coming, she quickly shouted: "Chen'er, you're back! Come here and let grandma take a good look."
The person who came was none other than Jing Chen, who was rushing back from Xujiacun.
Jing Chen sat on the edge of the bed and held his grandmother's hand, his tone slightly rising and falling as he said: "Grandma, your grandson is back and has made Grandma worried!"
The grandma (Nanny) next to him said: "Your Highness, thank you for coming back. The Queen Mother talks about you several times every day, and her body is getting weaker and weaker."
The Empress Dowager was a bit reproachful and said: "Why are you talking about this? I know my body well. Don't worry, Chen'er!"
