Bai Yuchen smiled charmingly, rubbing the hand warmer between his hands. His smile was like the warm sun of early spring, melting the ice and snow around them. "Because sister is like sister."
The clear and pleasant voice of the young man echoed through the mountains. In the valley, there seemed to be a response, mysterious and unfathomable.
Yunyun looked at him in surprise, smiling. She wasn't afraid of losing a tooth, "Wow, little brother, do you have legendary internal energy? This voice is so mysterious!"
Bai Yuchen finally looked at the smiling little girl, so beautiful and exquisite that she didn't seem real.
In the vast expanse of snow, the little girl's smile was as pure as the holy snow. Bai Yuchen was amazed, what a beautiful little girl.
"Little sister, your destiny is lacking me." Bai Yuchen's smile turned gentle.
"Uh..." Jiang Yu kuo looked at Bai Yuchen, who had such a beautiful face. This person wasn't quite right in the head.
He hoped their Shao Qing wouldn't turn out like this.
Mu Jiu Chen: "..." Lacking me, your ass!
He turned away, slightly annoyed, and put the things on his back. Jiang Nuan and the two children also carried some things.
Mu Jiu Chen's face was cold as he looked at Bai Yuchen, "Lead the way."
"Hehe..." Bai Yuchen touched his nose a little fearfully, "Uncle, you have quite a temper."
Mu Jiu Chen ignored him and walked past him.
His temper was actually quite good now.
Bai Yuchen smiled at Jiang Yu kuo and Jiang Si Yun before stepping forward to lead the way.
A narrow winding path, almost hidden by the trees and grass on either side, making it difficult to see the way.
The snow in the mountains was deep, and they had to tread carefully. Mu Jiu Chen held his daughter's small hand.
Jiang Nuan also held her son's hand. Bai Yuchen walked alone, smiling a little helplessly. She had once been a cherished darling in her parents' hands, but after developing this damn talent, she was abandoned in the mountains to fend for herself.
Fortunately, now that Shao Qing was with her, life was much better.
After walking for more than ten minutes, Mu Jiu Chen saw the familiar tiled house.
Soon, he would see Shao Qing. Mu Jiu Chen's heart felt soft.
Jiang Nuan also smiled. She was surprised that her son could live independently in such a place.
"Ah ah... Master, help! Grandma Wang is coming at me with a cleaver again. Did you steal her sweet potatoes again?"
As soon as they reached the entrance, they saw Jiang Shao Qing, dressed in a padded jacket, dashing out of the door. He wore a red woolen hat on his head, completely wrapped up, and held a hand warmer identical to Bai Yuchen's.
He was also shouting for help as he ran.
Mu Jiu Chen and his family: "..."
"Haha..." Bai Yuchen chuckled awkwardly, then explained, "It's normal, it's normal. This kind of thing happens four or five times a month. It's okay, it's okay. Grandma Wang is just too bored and is just playing with Shao Qing."
Mu Jiu Chen squinted at him, "That cleaver looks very sharp. You're telling me it's just a game?"
Bai Yuchen smiled sheepishly. Shao Qing's parents had just arrived and saw this scene, they must be worried.
"Uncle, you really don't need to worry. Usually, she uses a sabre and a sickle. Today it's a cleaver. For a while, it was Guan Yu's saber. Today's is considered minor.
Grandma Wang is very diligent. She grows a lot of vegetables, sweet potatoes, and potatoes in her fields. Master is greedy and often steals Grandma Wang's sweet potatoes. So, she must have discovered the sweet potatoes were gone and came to settle the score with Master. Coincidentally, she saw Shao Qing in the yard and wouldn't let him go."
"Grandma Wang usually dotes on Shao Qing. She gives Shao Qing the best food first," Bai Yuchen explained Grandma Wang's kindness, which was indeed the case.
Mu Jiu Chen: "I couldn't tell."
Bai Yuchen: "..." You can't just judge things by their appearance.
Jiang Yu kuo said with great interest, "It seems Shao Qing is living quite well here."
Jiang Si Yun looked around the environment and couldn't help but say suspiciously, "With second brother's delicate nature, I'm really surprised he could survive here."
Jiang Nuan lowered her eyes and glanced at her daughter, asking with a hint of amusement, "Why do you think your brother is so delicate?"
Shao Qing was very particular about his life. He treated himself very well and always prioritized his own happiness.
"Mommy, don't you know second brother has OCD? His socks must be neatly placed in the drawer, his shoes must be spotlessly clean, and his clothes must have no smell. Mom, you never have time to notice these small details."
Jiang Nuan smiled. She really hadn't noticed. All three children were very disciplined in their own lives. The house was occasionally messy, but she could tidy it up quickly.
"Shao Qing, run faster. Run up the mountain, don't run down. The old woman runs uphill, she can't catch you. If you run downhill, you're finished."
An old man in a gray Taoist robe, holding a whisk, stood at the entrance and waved vigorously.
In a clearing not far away, Jiang Shao Qing was dodging Grandma Wang's cleaver at a hundred-meter sprint speed.
"Ahhh... Master, you're too shameless! Every time you steal Grandma Wang's sweet potatoes, why does Grandma Wang chase and chop me, not you?"
Jiang Shao Qing was extremely frustrated. This Grandma Wang was truly vigorous. Although she was over seventy years old, she ran faster than young people.
Unless she got tired, she wouldn't give up.
Unless she gave up herself, she wouldn't have peace all day.
"Shao Qing, your Grandma Wang fancies me and is reluctant to chop me, so you have to bear it for Master. It's good exercise for your stamina."
"You dead old man, shut up! Who fancies you, a shabby old man? You're poor and old, what could I fancy about you? If you dare to steal my sweet potatoes again, I'll take your life."
Although Grandma Wang was over seventy years old, she was as nimble as a young person. Looking at her features, one could tell she was a great beauty in her youth.
She had a straightforward personality, loved and hated clearly, and spoke in a loud voice.
The old Taoist smiled and said, "Cui Hua, you've been saying that for twenty years. You say those sweet potatoes on your back mountain, if you don't give them to me, who will you give them to? You can't eat them all yourself, and you want to give them to that old white-faced man down the mountain?"
"You grew them for me, but you're just being stubborn."
"Shut up, you stinking Taoist. I'm not giving them to you anyway, so give them back immediately." Grandma Wang finally stopped, tired from chasing, her hands on her hips, glaring at the Taoist priest.
The Taoist smiled and stroked his beard, "Cui Hua, I've already eaten them. Don't you find it disgusting to spit them out?"
"Ugh! You damned, dead old man." Grandma Wang was furious and had no choice but to give up.
Grandma Wang watched Shao Qing lying on the snow, breathing heavily.
She glanced at the time on her wrist watch and was quite surprised.
This brat's talent was truly exceptional. His speed this time was much faster than last time.
He was teachable.
This child was a good prospect.
She smiled at Shao Qing, her voice filled with affection, "Shao Qing, you were great today. Grandma couldn't catch you. Come to Grandma Wang's house later for sweet potato cakes."
