"Who is this beautiful young lady?"
"I don't know, I haven't seen her before, nothing comes to mind."
"Then you definitely haven't seen her, otherwise, how could we old sisters forget such a pretty little girl?"
"That's true..."
"I wonder if she has a boyfriend? I have a grandson at home..."
"Forget it, your grandson won't do. My grandson..."
"No, no, it's my grandson..."
...
A group of old ladies chattered away, still catching their breath after dancing.
Granny Qiu, who was about to find a place to rest, felt like joining the lively conversation of her newfound old friends.
However, as she turned, she felt something was wrong.
Wasn't that her precious granddaughter? How did she end up here!
Her desire to join in immediately vanished. This was her own blood!
Granny Qiu pushed through the crowd. "Xiao Xi, why are you here?"
"Grandma, the teacher gave us half the day off, so I came to see you and exercise with you."
"That's great! I told you, young people shouldn't stay home all day. If Xiao Ge had gone out with your dad today, I would have dragged him here too."
Despite her age, Granny Qiu was quite quick-witted, and her entire sentence came out without a pause.
"..."
Xiao Xi looked at her grandmother with an expression of understanding.
She had been wondering why Xiao Ge had been so diligent about going shopping with her dad today.
Compared to jumping around, going to the supermarket was more worthwhile.
"Come here, Grandma will introduce you to her old friends here."
Xiao Xi reluctantly stepped forward. "Okay..."
She really just wanted to join the fun from the back.
"Fang, how did you lure this beautiful young lady over?"
The group of old ladies, who were still arguing heatedly, all stopped and looked curiously as the newcomer, Sister Fang, directly brought the girl over.
"Lure? What are you talking about!"
"This is my granddaughter I've been telling you about, Xiao Xi."
"Xiao Xi, come and greet everyone, Grandma."
Xiao Xi stepped forward with a forced smile. "Hello, Grandmas~"
It had to be said, her grandmother was indeed something!
Everyone realized, "So this is the good granddaughter you were boasting about!"
"She really is, you weren't exaggerating. This girl is beautiful!"
And indeed!
Look at her little face, it's rare to see!
An older lady stepped forward. "Xiao Fang, yours, is there any..."
As soon as Granny Qiu heard this, she understood and immediately called out.
"Yes, yes, the young lady and the young man are very close!"
Xiao Xi: "..."
Are all elderly people this... invested?
The old lady who asked paused noticeably. "What a shame..."
"Sister Sun, what's a shame about that!"
"Don't young people always say, if you swing your hoe well enough, there's no wall you can't dig through!"
"That's right, we've seen your son. He's a silver-tongued boy, he'll definitely be liked by young girls."
"Exactly!"
"Little Zhao's child will definitely do it!"
The old lady called Sister Sun also looked enlightened. "Now that you say it, it does make some sense!"
Xiao Xi listened from the side, her eyes wide open. So old ladies were this fashionable too?
Listen to those words, it turns out grandmothers are the ones with potential!
"Little girl, Grandma Sun is telling you, my grandson..."
Xiao Xi never expected the fire to spread to her so quickly.
And the speed of these grandmothers' actions was too much!
Impressive!
"Sister Sun, let's continue dancing, and bring my granddaughter along."
Granny Qiu, seeing her granddaughter's helplessness, had no choice but to step forward and rescue her.
"Together... that's good, let's get acquainted first."
"..."
Xiao Xi was starting to regret it. Should she not have come today?
Aren't rich old ladies supposed to be stern and dislike pretty young girls?
Aren't rich old ladies supposed to be high-minded and difficult to get along with?
Aren't they supposed to...
However, no matter how much Xiao Xi thought, in the end, she could only helplessly join the grandmothers in dancing the trendy square dance.
It had to be something she had learned specifically, otherwise, with her body stiff from not exercising for so long, she might not have been able to keep up with these grandmothers.
...
"Hahaha~"
"Sister Fang, your granddaughter is really something else!"
"With this proficiency, does she practice with you at home often?"
"Clearly!"
"What are you talking about, this girl has only practiced a little, she's not that good!"
Although Granny Qiu spoke dismissively, the smile on her old face couldn't be hidden.
"How could she not be good! We all think she's great. Little girl, come often in the future!"
"Grandmas, I will definitely come when I have time."
After one round, Xiao Xi was ready to retreat.
It wasn't that she couldn't do it, it was that *she* couldn't handle it!
The grandmas were too enthusiastic, and that wasn't a good thing.
"Grandma, you keep dancing, I'm going to see Grandpa for a while, and I'll come back to find you later."
"Go ahead, your grandpa is playing chess upstairs."
"Mm."
"Grandmas, see you later."
"See you later."
Yes! This girl is quite likable.
"Sister Fang, I really like your granddaughter!"
"..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Xi turned and immediately went upstairs.
It had to be said, this recreational area was built quite well.
Looking at the sign at the entrance, Xiao Xi successfully found the place where people played chess and walked in.
Unlike the grandmas dancing downstairs, there were fewer people playing chess here, and it was very quiet.
When Xiao Xi entered, there were only a few tables of people.
Her eyes scanned the room, and Xiao Xi spotted her own spirited old man.
She walked over quietly, not saying a word, and just watched the two of them play chess.
After a while, the chess game ended.
"Brother Qiu, you're still the master!"
Although Grandpa Zhang lost, he was very happy.
Not many old men in this villa community were willing to play with him; he had angered them all away.
He wasn't a bad chess player, just a bit unskilled.
After playing for a long time, everyone was unwilling to play with him anymore.
Fortunately, another old brother had arrived, and hopefully, this time it would last longer.
"Girl, why are you here?"
As expected, it was the familiar script. Xiao Xi repeated the words she had said many times today.
"That's great, you play with Grandpa Zhang for a while, I'm going to wander around."
Grandpa Qiu's mood immediately lightened.
His granddaughter was reliable, coming to rescue him.
Grandpa Zhang was good in every way, except for his unskilled yet enthusiastic nature.
"Huh?"
Xiao Xi just wanted to watch and join the fun, but she had no interest in playing.
"Huh what?"
"Play here for Grandpa for a bit, I'll be right back."
"..."
Looking at the situation, whether "right back" was to be believed was still debatable...
"Alright, let's play for a while."
There was no other way; the old man had spoken, and she had to play.
"Mm!"
Then Grandpa Qiu turned and left without looking back.
