When he returned home, Xu Ning had already cooked the last dish.

"Mom is back, just in time for dinner."

"Thanks for my dear girl, I'm so busy this morning."

When Xu Ning heard this, he suddenly "cocked" in his heart.

"Is something wrong?" she asked pretendingly.

"It's okay, isn't it the summer vacation? A lot of calls are made to let the children in the village go to their relatives to play." Qin Xuejuan washed her hands and came in to help Xu Ning serve food.

Seeing that it was not from the Qin family of the magic capital, Xu Ning's heart was relieved. Of course, this was only temporary.

After lunch, everyone in the family took a lunch break one after another. Xu Ning lay on the kang and couldn't sleep for a long time. There was something in her heart, so how could she calm down.

I had no choice but to sit up and continue to do homework.

After three in the afternoon, she put aside her pen and went to the kitchen to start busy making dumplings.

Chopped cabbage, add salt and set aside, turn around and cut two catties of pork belly into minced meat, and then prepare to add various seasonings. Here, one person rolls out dumpling skins while making dumplings.

When Yu Chunhua came back, Xu Ning had already wrapped almost half of it.

"Why don't you wait for me." She came in and picked up the rolling pin to make dumpling wrappers for Xu Ning. Looking at Xu Ning's craftsmanship, she was very satisfied.

"Where did grandma go?" Xu Ning asked casually.

"Embroidering the insoles at your grandma's house, watching the time come back, you are anxious."

"I'm fine alone."

In the evening, when Gao Xiulan had just prepared a meal and put it on the table, she saw Xu Ning coming in with a tray.

"Grandma Gao, I'm giving you dumplings. Eat them while it's hot." As soon as he walked in, Xu Ning saw that they were ready to have dinner, "I'm a bit late."

"This kid, you can eat at home, and you can give it back to us." Gao Xiulan went to the kitchen to find two large plates, and came over to free the sea bowl. "Give us so much, is your family enough to eat?"

"Enough, I pack a lot." Xu Ning grinned, "Brother Zheng helps me with tutoring every night these days, this is nothing."

Xie Zheng sat cross-legged in the kang, hearing Xu Ning's words, an intoxicating smile appeared in his eyes.

"I'll go back and bring you some mashed garlic." Xu Ning suddenly regained his senses, patronizing the delivery of dumplings, but also forgot about it.

Gao Xiulan laughed happily, "What are you sending garlic, there are green onions at home, Ningning also went to another place, let's eat here."

These two large bowls are quite large, and the three of them will definitely not be able to finish them. At first glance, the old Xu's family is a real person.

Xu Ning looked up at Xie Zheng, "Brother Zheng, do you want garlic mash?"

Xie Zheng smiled and shook his head, "No, raw garlic will do."

"Oh." Xu Ning nodded obediently, "Then Grandpa Jiang, Grandma Gao, I'm home, and I'm still waiting for my meal."

"Don't eat here?"

"No, I have to eat back dumplings for you. This is fair." Xu Ning carried the tray and stepped into the house under Gao Xiulan's insistence on sending her to the door.

Here Xie Zheng picked up a dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth. The taste made him very satisfied.

That little girl, don't think that you will get rid of him after a meal of dumplings.

"This child Ningning is really good at craftsmanship." As soon as Gao Xiulan came back, she heard the words of her wife.

After eating one on the kang, she nodded and said, "It's better than Chunhua."

Then he glared at his grandson, "Hey, I really don't know that this good boy will let that stinky boy take advantage in the future."

When Grandpa Jiang heard these words, he glanced at his grandson calmly, and then withdrew his gaze as ignorance. The old lady had been saying this for several years.

On the other hand, Xie Zheng slightly raised the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and he didn't respond to grandma's uninspired meaning at all.

Who is taking advantage of that girl!

Who knows.

Thinking like this in my heart, the smile in his eyes almost overflowed.

After Xie Zheng's vacation, Xu Ning's summer homework was almost finished.

Zhang Meng came over this morning, learned of this, and lay directly on the table.

"Xu Ning, do you have to do this? I have two subjects left." When I left yesterday, there were some others, and now they are all finished.

"I still haven't written the weekly diary." Xu Ning comforted.

"Weekly diary is not homework either." He complained, but his body was very honest, and the pen in his hand was already busy, "I also strive to end today, and let my dad send me to grandma's house tomorrow, and I will give it to you. With clams and oysters."

"Okay, I'll wait at home."

At the dinner table two days later, Qin Xuejuan suddenly said a word with a serious expression.

"I received a call from my mother today. She told me that my grandfather was seriously ill. Let me go back and have a look."

As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of bowls and chopsticks in the room stopped instantly, and there was deathly silence.

Xu Jianjun's expression was thoughtful, while Yu Chunhua simply became extremely solemn.

"What's wrong!" she asked.

Seeing her mother-in-law's expression, Qin Xuejuan knew what she was worried about. In the past, she would never mention the capital of the demons, but her grandfather was the person she respected the most. Now that her grandfather is seriously ill, she has to go back to visit.

She understands her mother-in-law, so she has never contacted the Qin family closely during her marriage.

According to normal circumstances, they should go to the magic city to see their elders during the New Year. Even if they are too far away to go back easily, it is always okay to make a phone call, but none of them. Although Xu Jianjun mentioned it several times, Qin Xuejuan did not. promise.

If her mother-in-law said that she would not be allowed to go back today, Qin Xuejuan felt that she might not be able to suppress it. She liked Xu Jianjun to marry him instead of selling herself into Xu's family. They had no reason to stop her from visiting relatives.

"It's an elderly disease." Qin Xuejuan suddenly became calm.

Xu Ning's hand holding the chopsticks trembled uncontrollably. She knew it shouldn't be, but the fear in her heart couldn't be suppressed.

"Mom, I'll go with you, and Dad, let's go and see together." Xu Ning said uncontrollably. She felt that her voice was a bit sharp, perhaps it was an illusion.

Qin Xuejuan laughed suddenly, "I originally planned to go with our family, and this time I will bring mom with me."

Because of her words, the serious atmosphere in the room seemed to disappear all at once.

It's not that Yu Chunhua can't believe this daughter-in-law, she really doesn't understand her natal family. In case the daughter-in-law goes back this time, she wants to come back later, but can her natal family agree?

But when she heard that her son and granddaughter were also going, and even bringing her, her face eased.

"I won't follow you to toss, and your family of three can go there." She is so old that she can't stand the long journey. "I look at the house, you can live longer in the past, and it happens that Ningning is also on vacation."
