Hearing Cheng Xi's surprised words, Xu Sanlang reflexively touched his own face, and replied with an irrelevant answer, "If you're awake, then get up. I'll go prepare some hot water for you."

Cheng Xi looked at Xu Sanlang's back figure which had stood up in a hurry. She sighed helplessly and then took his cotton clothes and put it on.

Although Cheng Xi lowered his movement, it was still enough to alarm the child beside him. She sat up in a daze, and rubbed her eyes as she muttered, "Grandmother."

Cheng Xi looked at the child in front of him, feeling sad. He did not know how to speak, afraid that he would wake up the child's beautiful dream.

But before the child could get a response from "Grandma", he finally opened his hazy eyes and woke up from his dream. As he looked at the unfamiliar face in front of him, his tears began to flow uncontrollably.

A hundred years?" Cheng Xi could only helplessly move over and gently pat the child in his arms. "A hundred years isn't enough, a hundred years isn't enough, a hundred years isn't enough.

The hundred year old sniffed, then said in a low, muffled voice, "Will Grandmother be sad when she's dead?"

Cheng Xi replied, "Of course I will, do you know what death is?"

The hundred year old nodded as he sobbed, "If I die, I'll just bury it underground. I'll never see it again. I'll never see my grandma again. Sniff, sniff."

Cheng Xi lightly patted the child's back, and said softly, "Who says that he won't be able to see it? A hundred years old. Although your grandmother's body is buried in the ground, if her soul were to go to the sky, she would be able to see a hundred years old and grow up day by day. If she saw a hundred years old and cried in pain, your grandmother would be sad too. "

The hundred year old general suspiciously raised his head and looked at Cheng Xi with his teary eyes that was filled with anticipation, and asked, "Is grandmother really in the sky?"

Cheng Xi nodded her head, the child was so excited that he was about to get up and get off the bed, he shouted, "I want to go see Grandma."

Cheng Xi quickly pulled the child back, "Wear your clothes properly first, if you don't listen to me obediently, your granny will get angry."

Cheng Xi looked at the shabby and messy clothes on the bed and hurriedly took them from the hundred year old's hands, saying, "Obediently lie down on the bed first, big sister will go and find some clean clothes for you."

The hundred year old pouted unhappily, "I'm going to see Grandma."

Cheng Xi pretended to be angry, "If you don't listen, Grandmother will be as angry as I am."

When he heard that his grandma was going to get angry, he pouted and obediently lay down on the bed.

While Cheng Xi was dressing herself, she was also thinking about where to find clothes for her child. Originally, he and Xu Sanlang had not brought any clothes with them, so Fourth Uncle actually brought some clothes over.

After dressing herself, Cheng Xi still went to find a set of adult cotton jacket and wrapped it around the child's body. She wanted to ask Aunt Faang for a set of Niu Niu's clothes first after a while.

The moment Cheng Xi had dressed the child, the child had shouted that he wanted to go out and look at his grandmother who was in the sky. Cheng Xi could only carry the child and walk out, pointing at the overcast sky, "Your grandmother was watching over you from that day."

The child looked at the dark sky and saw nothing, his eyes turning red from being wronged, Cheng Xi continued, "Didn't Grandma bury her body underground? So Grandma is different now, Granny has turned into a white cloud and floated in the sky looking at the 100 years old, and when the weather clears, the most beautiful white cloud that can be seen at the age of 100 is the 100 years old grandma looking at the 100 years old."

"Then why didn't Grandma come to see me?"

Cheng Xi replied, "Because there's a wind when you come down here. When it blows, the clouds will scatter and grandmother's soul will also be dispersed."

Xu Sanlang, who was preparing washing up for the two of them, couldn't help but exclaim in his heart at Cheng Xi's ability to fabricate random things. This was even more interesting than the story of a conversation book.

And at one hundred years old, he was finally convinced that his grandmother had already turned into a white cloud after all the nonsense Cheng Xi made up. She was still looking at him in the sky, no longer crying as she sought her grandmother out.

After the group of people had washed up, Cheng Xi helped Xu Sanlang tidy up a bit. At least, they were no longer as haggard and scary as before, when Cheng Xi saw them.

After everything was properly packed, the three of them headed towards the main hall.

It was already past time for breakfast. Yesterday, at this time, Xu Family had already sent in the breakfast, but there wasn't any movement this morning. It seemed that they didn't plan on paying attention to their breakfast.

How could she not eat? Cheng Xi would not let herself get hungry in the Xu Family, adding that the child in her arms was so skinny that he could no longer starve, since the Xu Family was not giving out to him and Cheng Xi did not plan to be courteous, she would go eat in the main hall.

When the two of them carried the child to the entrance of the hall, they were already cleaning up the dishes in the main hall. Old Madam Xu, who was seated on the first seat, saw the three people at the door and immediately frowned.

Without waiting for Xu Family Member to speak, Cheng Xi took the lead and said, "Yo, you've finished eating? Looks like we don't have enough food for Xu Family. "

"My Xu Family will not help others raise children. Hurry up and send this little bastard away, or else you won't be able to eat in the future."

Cheng Xi laughed coldly, "Why did you say that earlier? Since you can't even eat Xu Family food, why did you call us over? Xu Sanlang, let's go." After he finished speaking, he pulled Xu Sanlang along as he prepared to turn around and leave.

Everyone in the room saw that Cheng Xi seemed to truly plan to leave, there were people who were happy and there were people who were worried, Xu Erlang was obviously very happy, and wished that the two of them could quickly leave her Xu Family and never return. Cheng Fang also seemed to be looking forward to seeing the two of them leave quickly.

However, the Lady Ma mother and daughter looked at the two of them anxiously. Xu Wenqiang also looked at his brother Xu Wenyu anxiously.

Xu Wenyu did not let Xu Wenqiang down and opened his mouth right away, "Why is there no food for you guys, seeing that you guys are not here yet, I'll keep it for you guys. Sister-in-law, quickly go to the stove house and heat up the food you left for them."

When the Lady Ma heard Xu Wenyu, she immediately followed, "Yes, I left it for you. Take a seat, I'll go heat up some food for you." With that, she quickly walked towards the kitchen.

Cheng Xi did not hold back, she pulled Xu Sanlang who was carrying the child into the house with him, and calmly sat down at the table, then followed the Lady Ma out to thank him, "Thank you Eldest Aunt."

Xu Sanlang sat by the side of the table with the child and Cheng Xi, her head lowered without making a sound. The hundred years old in Xu Sanlang's embrace, due to the matter at the Xu Family entrance the day before, was curled up in Xu Sanlang's embrace, afraid to even breathe.

Seeing that Xu Sanlang was not driven away, Xu Erlang looked gloomy, and started to look for trouble, "Whose son of a bitch can come to our house, I shall not become a beggar's nest in the future."

The child's topic was once again not mentioned by Xu Erlang. The anger of the Old Madam Xu, who had been trying very hard to suppress her anger, was once again stirred up, and she could not help but reprimand him, "You two will send this little bastard back to Ming Shui village in a while, are all the Fann Family people dead? You actually want my Xu Family to help them raise their children. "

As soon as the old lady finished speaking, Cheng Xi clearly felt Xu Sanlang's entire being becoming stiff, as he continuously released a cold and gloomy aura.

With such a strong aura, Cheng Xi had thought that Xu Sanlang would explode. She had no choice but to wait for Xu Sanlang to speak, and with a helpless sigh, she came forward to face it.

Cheng Xi did not mention anything about her child, she only pretended to whisper to Xu Sanlang, and said to Xu Sanlang who was standing beside him. "I've already told you, it's best to listen to Big Brother Zhao's words, it's better to stay at their place to celebrate New Year. If you insist on going back to the village, let's see if you can even finish breakfast."

On the surface, it looked like he was muttering and complaining to Xu Sanlang, but Xu Wenyu, who intentionally lowered his voice to the side, could hear him.

Sure enough, after Xu Wenyu heard what Cheng Xi said, his eyes lit up, "Xi, I heard you talking about the Big Brother Zhao, could you tell me, I told you before that I was looking for a classmate with surname Zhao, maybe it was him?"

Cheng Xi shook her head, "It should be impossible, the Big Brother Zhao I was talking about did not hear about him taking the Imperial examinations again."

When she heard Cheng Xi say that she was even planning to spend the new year with her, she guessed that they must have a deep relationship with the Big Brother Zhao that Cheng Xi was talking about, and the person from Zhao Family that she knew about seemed to have a good relationship with them as well, thinking that it was even more probable that they would let go of this opportunity, and immediately said, "Maybe it's just that, why don't you guys introduce me to see if it's the person I'm looking for?"

However, Cheng Xi acted as if she did not hear it, and only reached out her hand to stroke the child's clothes in Xu Sanlang's embrace, sighing and saying, "Ah, poor child, you don't even have a proper set of clothes."

Xu Wenyu hurriedly said to Cheng Fang who was at the side, "Go and check if Niu Niu has any bigger clothes, and bring this child two sets over."

When Old Madam Xu heard that Xu Wenyu actually still wanted to find clothes for the child to wear, his eyes opened wide and was about to flare up, but he was stopped by Xu Wenyu's gaze.

However, Old Madam Xu really could not take it anymore. Worried that she had messed up her son, she could only leave angrily.

Hearing that Xu Wenyu told her to find clothes, Cheng Fang still had the appropriate smile on her face. After smiling as she agreed, he carried Niu Niu and left to find clothes.

Xu Erlang, on the other hand, understood his words better than before, and upon seeing that he was so infuriated that he held back and did not make a sound, he only glanced at the two of them coldly, then followed the old lady to leave.

With her goal achieved, Cheng Xi did not plan to stay here for long, and stay together with these people who have their own ulterior motives. Cheng Xi felt that it was weird when eating here, so she pulled Xu Sanlang who was standing up and said, "Let's go over to the side of the house first, should just bring the food and clothes over there."

Xu Wenyu smiled and replied, "Okay, I will personally send them over later. When will your Big Brother Zhao be able to bring me there? "
