It seemed grandmother had already gone to sleep.

There were no lights in the yard.

But tonight’s moonlight was remarkable.

Xia Yangyang got out of the car and went to knock on the door.

It was a small house with two additional smaller houses on either side, one looked like a kitchen due to the presence of a chimney, and the other was a sheep shed, housing a few sheep that were also sleeping.

Gu Qichen also got out of the car and began observing the yard.

After a while, the door opened.

The grandmother, wrapped in a coat, stood at the doorway. Seeing it was Xia Yangyang, she exclaimed excitedly, “NanNan, why did you come back?”

Grandmother was illiterate and had always addressed her in dialect as NanNan since she was a child.

“Grandma, I missed you.” Xia Yangyang immediately hugged her.

A smile gleamed in the old woman’s eyes, “I’ve been missing you too.”

At this moment, Gu Qichen walked over.

Xia Yangyang quickly introduced, “Grandma, I’m married now. This is my husband Gu Qichen. We haven’t had our wedding yet, but I wanted you to meet him first.”

The old woman turned to look at Gu Qichen.

Gu Qichen respectfully said, “Hello, Grandma. I’m Ah Chen.”

The old woman examined him for a while, but she didn’t seem too pleased, “Another pretty-boy, come inside.”

It was the first time Gu Qichen didn’t know how to react to Grandma’s sudden change of expression.

Xia Yangyang was also taken aback. She didn’t expect her grandmother’s first impression of Gu Qichen to be so negative.

After all, Gu Qichen’s face radiated a natural superiority that one could not treat lightly.

Many women were love-struck at the first sight of him, and many men readily admired him.

But, how come when he came to her grandmother’s, he was disregarded after just one look?

Xia Yangyang glanced at Gu Qichen, whose face surprisingly bore an innocent look.

Gu Qichen quietly asked Xia Yangyang, “Did I say something wrong?”

Xia Yangyang shook her head, indicating she didn’t know either.

The two of them entered the house.

Although the room was simple, with few furnishings, it was clean and tidy.

The old woman looked at Xia Yangyang with a smile, “NanNan, have you had dinner yet?”

Xia Yangyang shook her head, “We have not yet had the chance to eat.”

The old woman cheerfully said, “Then I’ll cook something for you. Conveniently, I bought some beef at the market this morning.”

Xia Yangyang quickly said, “Grandma, it’s too late. We brought food with us. Don’t trouble yourself.”

“How can you guys eat bread as a meal? And you’re talking about trouble.”

Having said that, the old woman had already gone into the room to put on her clothes and an apron.

As she passed Gu Qichen, she suddenly stopped and said, “You, come help me light the stove.”

Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen were taken aback.

Gu Qichen seemed a bit bewildered; he didn’t seem to know what lighting the stove meant.

‘Lighting the stove’ is a local term here.

This being a rural area, most families, especially ones with the elderly, still cooked on traditional stoves.

To ‘light the stove’ meant to sit behind the stove and add firewood.

How could Gu Qichen do such a task?

Xia Yangyang didn’t even have time to explain, and quickly went over to the old woman, “Grandma, let me do it. I remember when I was young, I used to love crawling behind the stove. It was a lot of fun.”

The old woman said, “This is not women’s work, it’s dirty and tiring. Look at you, your skin is so delicate, what if you get burned? Men should do this.”

It was precisely because it was dirty and tiring that she didn’t want Gu Qichen to do it.

Although Gu Qichen occasionally cooked, his kitchen was like an exhibition hall.

Moreover, he had a knack for cleanliness. How could he do such rough work?

Gu Qichen had by now approached, “Grandma, let me help you..”
