Chapter 753 Another Summer!

yone in the village to have a drink.But thinking of her son who was still out there, she sighed again, wondering if the fourth son would be able to come back.By the time his granddaughter was one hund...Wan'er shook her head and smiled gently.

"Grandma, I don't have any other skills, only this one of needlework. I hope my family won't find it undesirable!"

"What's there to be disdainful about We're just too happy." Tao Hongying also praised, "I'm clumsy myself. I didn't expect that the niece-in-law brought back home is so skilled!"

"Hello to you too, Wenjuan. You are all so clever."

Zhao Yuru was holding her precious grandson, and at this moment, she handed him to Wan'er, smiling: "Wan'er, you hold this boy, he will definitely be happy soon.

"

"You don't have to worry about whether it's a boy or a girl. Our Li family is prosperous, and all the children born will be boys!"

Wan'er blushed, holding the chubby little boy who was kicking his legs excitedly. She was at a loss for words for a moment.

She turned her head to look at Jia Ren. He was also blushing, but his expression was full of happiness.

Wan'er's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly understood.

To love someone is to love what they love...

Time flies, the years roll by, in a blink of an eye two years have passed.

The cicadas' chirping fills the air, signaling another scorching summer.

The sandy banks of the Sui Jintan River are no longer covered with peanuts and sweet potatoes, but now they are full of pumpkin vines.

The light green leaves, rustled by the hot breeze, waved listlessly.

Thus, the watermelon hidden under the leaves, dressed in a green coat, was revealed.

The village elder, with nearly all-white hair, stood in the field, waving a smoking pipe and shouting to the villagers.

"Everyone, work faster and cover the melons! It's so hot today, be careful not to bake them!"

"One melon is worth a silver ingot, you can't waste it!"

"Don't worry, old man!" A man stood up, wiped his sweat, and looked at the blazing sun overhead, cursing, "Damn it, you blind heavens! How can there be no rain for a whole month!"

The village head was also anxious, but his reverence for heaven and earth made him immediately say: "Don't talk nonsense, get to work quickly."

The past two years had been good weather, this year it's a bit drier, but that's nothing! People eat grains and millets. It’s not uncommon for people to have discomfort no matter what they eat.

Perhaps God is not in a good mood this year and forgot to rain. That's possible, it will definitely be alright after some time.

Both the Han man and the villagers, having heard this, felt a sense of resolve. They lowered their heads and continued to put the watermelons in baskets.

These baskets were originally woven by the elderly in the village for sale, to make transportation easier. Unexpectedly, they came in handy ahead of schedule.

At this time, several people walked along the road in the distance. Leading them was an old woman, followed by a chubby boy wearing a bright red sash and standing braids, with a maidservant carrying a water jug and a nanny behind him.

Needless to say, this was Old Mrs. Li coming to deliver water to the villagers and take her energetic great-grandson for a stroll.

The village head saw this and hurriedly left the melon patch, finding a shady spot to invite Old Mrs. Li to sit down.

Li Lao's forehead was slick with sweat, and she asked, "Elder brother, look at this weather. If it doesn't rain in another three or five days, our village will have to draw water again to irrigate the fields."

"Indeed, I'm also troubled by this!" The village head sighed, taking the earthen bowl from Shui Ling and sipping the water that had a faint medicinal taste.

He chuckled and asked, “County Lord's medical skills are getting better and better. This heat-relieving tea isn't tasty, but it really works! Everyone hasn't gotten sunstroke these past few days!”

The little chubby boy who was originally crouched on one side, his bottom in the air fighting with ants, suddenly turned his head and blurted out.

"Auntie is the best! Auntie is the most amazing!"

Both the village head and Old Li burst into laughter.

The village head said, “Every time I see the stars, I think of the county princess when she was little. It seems like just a blink of an eye, and now the county princess is a ten-year-old girl!”

"That's right!" Li Laotai also sighed and lamented, "Looking at the children, I realize how fast we're getting old. Counting up, it's been six or seven years since we came to Suijin Beach!"

"Yeah, when I first came here, everyone joked. It's just a gravel beach, and you named it something so flashy."

"Now look, everyone has turned this place into a real gold mine!"

The village head was quite proud, gazing at the entire melon field and the distant villages, with the hot spring valley faintly veiled in white mist...

This is the result and pride of everyone's hard work!

Li Laotai sat for a while longer, and Xingxing lost interest in the ants too. So the old and young alike headed home.

Wan'er, with her large belly, was pacing back and forth at the doorstep of her home. Her dowry maid, Chunxiu, followed behind, carefully attending to her.

Seeing Grandma come back, Wan'er went up to her and said with a smile, "Grandma, the weather is too hot. Why don't you come out again after dinner"

"Good," Old Madam Li smiled and replied, giving the same advice to her eldest granddaughter-in-law, "In another month you'll be giving birth, so be sure to walk carefully."

Wǎn’er nodded and said, “I was thinking about this too. Perhaps the child will share a birthday with his aunt. That would be incredibly lucky.”

"Indeed, let's see what he's capable of." Li Lao Tai beamed, reaching out to pat her daughter-in-law's belly. Unexpectedly, she was met with a tiny fist from the baby inside, causing her to burst into laughter.

"Oh my, this kid has quite the temper. He'll probably be a mischievous one when he grows up."

The little star wasn't happy to be ignored, she grabbed Wan'er's hand and said, "Auntie, where's my uncle Can he play with me"

"Waner wiped the sweat from his brow and said, 'Your Uncle Lu and Uncle Jia have arrived, as well as Aunt Baozhu. Your uncle and aunt are hosting a banquet. Would you like to go play'"

The little star quickly covered her face and hid behind her great-grandmother, her small head shaking like a tambourine. “No, no, it’s not my fault, Auntie pinched my face!”

Everyone laughed.

This child has never lost weight since birth, plump as a little dumpling. Anyone who sees him wants to pinch his rosy cheeks.

Especially Baozhu, the most lively one, always brings a lot of food and little trinkets over, and plays with Xingxing the most.

It goes without saying that even the littlest star was her most frequent victim.

Wan'er couldn't help teasing her little nephew, "I just saw Baozhu bring a little orange cat. It was especially playful. Would Xingxing like to go take a look"

The star's eyes immediately lit up, and the chubby face was full of struggle. After a long time, he finally twisted his plump body and ran away.

Shuiling giggled and followed him, scooping up the chubby boy from behind and heading towards Junzhu Mansion.

Li Laotai saw Shui Ling run back and forth with the stars on her back, which made the stars giggle.

She couldn't help but say: "Shuilin, this girl, is getting older this year, but she's still as lively as a child."

As I told your sister before, it's about arranging a marriage for her and Shuiyun.

"Your sister did ask them, but those two girls aren't in a hurry at all; they don't even have the time for it."

Wan'er supported the old woman into the room and smiled, "These two girls have been with my sister since they were young. Perhaps they are afraid that once she gets married, they will have to leave our family, so they are reluctant to part with her!"

"There's no need to rush this, let fate decide! Besides, my sister would definitely not mistreat them. She will definitely make arrangements for them in the future."

Lao Li laughed and scolded, "I'm not blaming your younger sister. What are you trying to make up for her with all these words"

Wan'er couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm not deliberately protecting my younger sister. I just can't stand anyone saying a bad word about her."

"During the two years I've been married into this family, when I wasn't pregnant the first year, people outside also said hurtful things.

"Just happened to be caught by my little sister, and she immediately embarrassed that person on the spot, taking out my anger for me."

She gave me more tonic to drink, saying it would help my health. She constantly tried to comfort me and cheer me up whenever she got the chance. She even gave me two of her gold bangles!

"Jia Ren Ge said it himself, no one in our family has this kind of treatment. Of course I have to be good to my little sister!"me, get some acupuncture for two or three months, and take some herbs that activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Even if you can't make a full recovery, at least you won't suffer from he...
