Regarding her grandmother, of course Qibao was concerned, she assumed that her grandmother had encountered something during the days she wasn't at home, so she asked: "Grandpa, what's wrong with grandma? Why don't you tell me? I would feel uneasy if you didn't tell me."
The old man glared at Xu Laosan again, sighed, cursed and said: "It's true that there are too few successes and too many failures. People always report good things, but not bad things. How about you? Are you specifically trying to cause trouble for Qibao?"
Qibao immediately said: "Grandpa, don't blame father. Tell me what happened to grandma?"
The old man said helplessly: "Your grandma has not been eating or drinking well these days. She has been thinking about you. She almost fainted the day you left. It was only after learning that you were back today that she felt better."
After hearing this, Qibao's heart was a little sour and a little heartbroken for her grandmother, so she spoke: "Grandma is worried about me that's why she's like this, it's my fault for doing things without thinking, I can't just leave because I say so and make her feel worse for me all the time."
The old man said: "My child, everything you do is for this family, how can we blame you! We can't help you at ordinary times, and everyone in the family feels ashamed of you!"
Qibao said angrily: "Grandpa, why do you start saying such things again? I am the granddaughter of you and grandma. No matter how much I pay for this family, I am willing to do so. Next time, grandpa, if you say such things again, I will be angry!"
Only then did Xu Laosan speak sarcastically: "My daughter is amazing, I will wait to enjoy my daughter's blessings from now on!"
"You still have the nerve to say that! In the future, be a bit more discerning, Qibao has a lot on her plate, we'll take care of the little things we can take care of on our own, don't come to trouble Qibao with everything!"
Xu Laosan felt that he shouldn't have spoken, his father is still angry, what he said is wrong, so he could only shut up and let his old man preach.
Qibao then recalled that grandma looked a little tired just now, but it was nothing serious. She just needed to rest more.
After Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Li arranged accommodation for Yue Yang and others, they went to the kitchen to help.
Qibao asked: "Grandpa, which house built the wooden house first?"
The old man replied: "Everyone has unanimously decided to help the village chief's house repair it first. In the past few days, the foundation has been dug and the wood has been cut according to size. Now it has been opened."
Qibao nodded. With so many laborers in the village working together, it is estimated that the village chief's house will be built soon.
The old man spoke: "By the way, Shopkeeper Hong came yesterday to deliver the silver for last month's pills, a total of nearly fifty thousand taels of silver, thanks to your thoughtfulness, you left the finished pills at home, otherwise where would we get the pills for Shopkeeper Hong!"
Although Qibao left in a hurry, she had arranged everything she needed to think of.
The old man thought that Qibao was back today and the old woman was happy. If he drank more at noon, she would stop talking about it. So he brought out a large jar of wine, planning to have Old Man Lin and the others come over for a drink at noon.
Qibao went back to her room to change back into her female attire, and when she went out, she was surrounded by Yue Yang and the others.
Qibao was a little uncomfortable being looked at, so she found a reason to disperse them, which made her feel a little more comfortable.
Qibao came to the kitchen, where Mrs. Wang was wielding a spatula and was busy, with a smile on her face, she was in a good mood at first glance.
Mrs. Jin was lighting the fire on the stove, and Mrs. Yin was helping. The three sisters-in-law could not do much to help. They could only wash the vegetables and pass the plates.
When Mrs. Wang saw Qibao coming in, she immediately said: "Qibao, what are you doing here in the kitchen when it's so hot? Are you hungry? Wait a moment and we'll have dinner after frying two more dishes." After speaking, she wiped the sweat on her head.
Qibao said: "Grandma, you can endure the heat in the kitchen and cook for me. Why can't I come in? How can I be so delicate?" Qibao took out a fan and started to fan Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang felt happy, her granddaughter felt sorry for her.
Mrs. Jin smiled and said: "Old madam, look at how filial Miss is. She is so kind to you."
Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: "Our Qibao family is indeed filial, unlike those brats at home who have endless worries all day long."
There was chatting and laughing in the kitchen, and not a moment later, Mrs. Wang had finished the last dish and said: "Your grandparents have been thinking about you for the past few days, so we'll have them over for lunch today."
Qibao said: "Okay, I'll go now!"
Qibao trotted all the way to the brewery, and as soon as she entered the front door, there were no longer any workers, they should have gone to eat at this hour.
So Qibao came to the winery's inner workplace, and saw her grandfather closing the door with his rice bowl.
"Grandpa!" Qibao shouted.
When Old Man Lin heard the voice, he immediately turned his head and saw his granddaughter standing behind him and smiling at him.
"Qibao! When did you come back? Your grandma and I have been worried to death since you haven't been at home these past few days." Old Lin's face was filled with joy. He stepped forward and took Qibao's fleshy hand and rubbed it.
Qibao said: "I only got home in the morning. Where is grandma? My grandma asked you to go home for dinner."
"Your grandma has just gone to the canteen with the workers. Let's go! Let's go find your grandma together."
Old man Lin took Qibao's hand, and the two of them came to the canteen together. As soon as they entered, they could hear the voices of the workers talking. Some people had already eaten, and some were still queuing up.
Quite a few people greeted Qibao when they saw her, and a few workers would be curious and ask Qibao why they hadn't seen her in the past two days, and she explained that she had gone to town to stay at a barbecue restaurant for a couple of days.
Finally, the two found Mrs. Sun in the queue for food.
As soon as Mrs. Sun saw Qibao, she stopped eating, stepped forward and hugged Qibao and said: "My little darling! You're finally back, look at you, you're so little and you don't have an adult with you when something happens, grandma was worried to death."
Qibao stroked Mrs. Sun's back and said: "Grandma, haven't I already come back? With my ability, am I afraid that someone will bully me?"
Mrs. Sun was amused by Qibao's appearance, and Old Man Lin said from the side: "Okay, our in-laws are still waiting for us to have lunch at home! We can't keep them waiting any longer."
Mrs. Sun was stunned for a moment, then said: "Okay, let's go right now!"
......
As soon as the three of them entered the entrance of the front hall, they could already smell the rich aroma of the meal. Yue Yi and Yue Yang were also carrying two plates of food in their hands that were being placed on the table.
Old man Lin was a little surprised to see so many unfamiliar faces, and only after Qibao briefly explained a couple of things did he realize that these people were the ones Qibao had brought back from the outside.
When the old man saw his in-laws coming over, he said with a smile on his face: "Brother Lin, since this workshop opened, we rarely get to sit down and have a few drinks together. Today is a good time."
Old Man Lin said: "No, no, older brother, I have to go to the brewery this afternoon! I can't drink!"
The old man smiled and said: "After dinner, ask your son-in-law to help you. We're going to have a good drink today."
Xu Laosan also said: "Yes, father-in-law you'll accompany my father for a few drinks at noon today, I'll take care of the winery!"
"Good, then I'll drink with older brother!" Old man Lin thought that his son-in-law usually helped out at the brewery, and that he knew many of the processes, so he was a little more relieved.
"Old man, you get excited when you talk about drinking. If it weren't for my in-laws coming to dinner today, you would never have thought of drinking so much." Mrs. Wang spoke.
"Older sister, I don't think you're happy because we've come over to make you happy, but you're happy because Qibao has come back, right? You were so listless two days ago, you had to stand at the door and look around every day!" Mrs. Sun laughed.
