Niuniu looked up at Old Lady Gu, she suddenly sighed heavily, lowered her head, and looked depressed.

This sudden unhappiness scared Old Lady Gu.

"My dear, why are you unhappy?" asked the old lady.

In response, Niuniu sighed again.

Forget about the old lady, Old Man Gu was so scared that he put down the wood at hand and came over to ask with concern: "Niuniu, what are you unhappy about? Grandpa will give you money, you go buy candy to eat..."

Old Man Gu didn't just say it verbally, he really took out a few copper coins from his body.

Niuniu didn't plan to take the money.

Gu Zhao, who was lying on the ground playing with crickets, rushed over like a whirlwind and shouted, "Sugar man, I want to eat sugar man!"

Although Gu's father was confused and had no memory, and he seemed to speak and act slowly, he took a step back very flexibly when Gu Zhao approached. Gu Zhao ran too fast and didn't stop, so he rushed over and almost fell down.

"Grandpa, you almost made me fall!" Gu Zhao said, stamping his feet.

But Gu's father acted as if he didn't hear it, and continued to ask Niu Niu, "Do you want to eat sugar man?"

Niu Niu glanced at the pitiful Gu Zhao, shook her head, and asked the old couple around her, "I want something else..."

Grandma Gu was afraid that the child would not ask for it, so she hurriedly said, "Niu Niu, just tell me what you want, and grandma will find a way for you."

"I heard that the Huang family sister next door raised small fish, I want to go and see." Niu Niu said with expectation.

Gu Mingda and Zhang Yunniang looked at the children like their eyes. Gu Zhao and Niuniu were young, so the couple repeatedly told the two children that they must be accompanied by adults when going out.

Zhang Yunniang was helping in the shop, Gu Mingda and Gu Yan were reading in the house, and Niuniu could only rely on the old couple if she wanted to go out.

Before Mrs. Gu spoke, Old Man Gu had already taken the responsibility: "Grandpa will take Niuniu to see the fish!"

Gu Zhao's temper came and went quickly. He completely forgot the grievance of losing the sugar man just now, and shouted: "I want to go too, I want to go too!"

Old Man Gu was not just talking, he directly pulled a child with one hand and went out.

Mrs. Gu still remembered that the last time Old Man Gu took the children out, they were attacked by wild boars in the mountains. Although there were no wild boars in the city, who knew what trouble the old man could cause.

She didn't care about the pressure of socializing with the city people for a while, and hurriedly followed with a pair of short legs.

The Huang family was at the other end of the alley.

The old couple had never left the house since they entered the city, and they knew less than the two children. They relied on Niuniu and Gu Zhao to show them the way, and barely arrived outside the Huang family's door.

Looking at the dark courtyard door in front of her, Old Lady Gu raised her hand and didn't knock for a long time.

Although the old lady was mentally prepared when she left home, she couldn't help but feel timid when the time came.

Old Father Gu was not in a clear mind, so he naturally didn't have these concerns and reached out to knock.

Not long after, the door of the Huang family's courtyard opened from the inside, and an old woman who looked to be in her fifties appeared behind the door.

"Grandma Huang!" Niuniu shouted.

Old Lady Huang recognized Niuniu. The Gu family had previously sent braised food to their neighbors, and it was Zhang Yunniang who brought two children to deliver it.

Old Huang asked with a smile: "Niuniu, is this your grandparents?"

Niuniu nodded vigorously and asked: "Grandma Huang, can I play with Sister Huang? I want to see the fish she raises."

Old Huang nodded: "Of course, I'll go call your sister Huang over."

Old Huang's granddaughter Huang Ying'er is seven years old and raises a few fish.

They are not rare species, but ordinary small fish caught by Huang's father in the river.

Huang Ying'er just came out of the house and smiled when she saw Niuniu. After all, who would not like a cute little sister?

"I'll take you to see the fish!" Huang Ying'er took Niuniu's hand and walked into the house.

Gu Zhao has always been a big man, and he didn't realize that he was treated differently. He followed happily without being asked.

After knocking on the door, Gu Dad sat down on the threshold of the Huang family with his back to the two old ladies.

Old Lady Gu was so embarrassed that she felt her scalp tingling. She opened her mouth several times, wanting to say something to Old Lady Huang, but swallowed it back.

Suddenly arriving in a new place, Old Lady Gu was not a community leader, and she was afraid that she would say something wrong and hinder her son and daughter-in-law.

Old Lady Huang seemed to sense her embarrassment and said with a smile: "I heard from Gu Xiucai that you are from Qingshui Village. What a coincidence, my mother's family is in Chenjia Village next to Qingshui Village."

Hearing her say this, Old Lady Gu immediately became energetic and asked: "Your maiden name is Chen? My eldest daughter-in-law's surname is also Chen. Which branch of the Chen family is your maiden family from?"

Old Lady Huang's eyes lit up and said: "The third branch of the Chen family, my brother is Chen Sanhuai."

Old Lady Gu slapped her thigh and said: "Chen Sanhuai, is his wife a midwife? My little grandson was delivered by his wife!"

While talking, Old Lady Gu was no longer as reserved as she was at the beginning, and she pulled Old Lady Huang to talk with saliva flying.

When Niuniu came out after watching the little fish, Old Lady Gu still looked like she was not satisfied.

"Big sister, if you want to make mugwort cake next time, just call me. I know how to make it. Let's go outside the city to pick mugwort together in spring!" Old Lady Gu shouted enthusiastically.

If the children hadn't wanted to leave, Old Lady Gu would not have been willing to leave.

With a friend, Old Lady Gu went to the other extreme. She used to stay at home and sigh, but now that she was done with the braised food, she went to find Old Lady Huang.

With the introduction of Old Lady Huang, Old Lady Gu was completely integrated into the circle of old ladies in this alley.

Seeing Old Lady Gu become cheerful, Gu Mingda and his wife were relieved. They wanted to take the old lady out for a good walk before, but the old lady refused because it was too expensive. She looked like she was staying at home and didn't want to go out. Unexpectedly, the problem that had troubled her for a long time was easily solved by Niu Niu.

At night, the couple took Niu Niu to lie on the bed. Zhang Yunniang deliberately said: "The old lady is much more energetic these two days. I don't know who made her so happy."

When Niu Niu heard this, her closed eyes curved up and the corners of her mouth curled up.

Gu Mingda also cooperated and said: "Who else can help? It must be the most powerful and smartest child in this family."

Niu Niu was so happy that she almost laughed out loud and quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

She quietly opened her eyes to see if her parents had noticed that she was pretending to sleep. The couple also cooperated and deliberately didn't look at her.

The little girl thought she had disguised herself well, and she quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly fell asleep with her mother's gentle patting.

At this time, in the capital city thousands of miles away from Guang'an County.

Sun Jiaxing, who went to Beijing to take the exam, had a nightmare. He dreamed of large areas of fiery red.

When he thought of the palpitations in the dream, he couldn't sleep anymore and jumped out of bed.

"The fire broke out, the fire broke out!"

Sun Jiaxing heard the shouting on the street and hurriedly opened the window.

At this time, there was a large area of ​​fiery red in the southeast direction.

Sun Jiaxing looked at this scene and couldn't help feeling dizzy. In the southeast direction, it seemed to be Zhaoyue Inn?

A little girl's tender and lovely face appeared in front of him.

The little girl's voice echoed in his ears: "Uncle Sun, after you go to Beijing, you can't stay in an inn with the word Yue in its name."
