"Great-Grandma, where have you gone?"

Beibei hugged the old lady's neck, "I haven't been able to see my great-grandmother when I wake up these past two days."

She looks for her mother at night, and during the day, she looks for her great-grandmother.

"Great-Grandma has something to do and has gone out. Starting tomorrow, Beibei will be able to see Great-Grandma when she wakes up."

The old lady said affectionately, "From now on, whenever Great-Grandma goes out, she will take our Beibei with her. She will never leave Beibei alone at home again."

Beibei released her arms from the old lady's neck and asked earnestly, "Is what Great-Grandma said true?"

"When has your great-grandmother ever lied to you? Your great-grandmother loved you the most."

Beibei smiled happily, "I love my great-grandmother the most."

Upon seeing Zhan Yue, she exclaimed joyfully, "Uncle Ba, give me a hug!"

Zhan Yue took the little girl from the old lady's arms and teased her, "Beibei, don't you like Uncle Ba?"

"like."

Is it your favorite?

The little girl looked at Zhan Yue with her big, bright eyes, seemingly torn between telling the truth or lying. In the end, she told the truth, "He's not my favorite, but I like all the uncles."

Everyone laughed.

Mrs. Shang teased her, "Beibei, tell your great-aunt which uncle you like the most?"

"I love my mom, dad, great-grandma, and brother the most."

"Uncle, um, I like my second uncle the most because I can see him every day."

Children naturally like whoever spends the most time with them.

Her second uncle could see her every day, hug her every day, and make her happy. Naturally, her second uncle was the person she was most familiar with and liked the most.

Zhan Yue's handsome face fell. "Isn't Bei Bei's favorite Uncle Ba? Uncle Ba, could you please spend more time playing with Bei Bei in the future?"

The little girl nodded.

"Aying, where's your grandson?"

The old lady asked Mrs. Shang a question, and the two of them walked together toward the main house.

Beibei was being held by her eighth uncle.

"Now that the older one is in kindergarten and the younger one has gone back to her parents' home with her mother, I can finally have some peace and quiet. Beibei is so easy to take care of; she's such a sweet and adorable little girl, and it's so comforting to hear her ask a million questions."

"Beibei is asking a lot of 'why' questions now. She's only started speaking more fluently lately, and her little mouth keeps chattering away."

The old lady praised her granddaughter for being eloquent.

"Luckily, she doesn't resemble her father. Ah Yin doesn't talk much; she's more lively like Tong Tong."

Zhan Yue said, "Big brother is talking a lot now."

"That was in front of family. When he was a child, he was the least talkative. When guests came to the house, he would at most say hello and then sit to the side without saying a word. He would only speak if someone asked him a question."

Mrs. Shang smiled and said, "Zhan Yin was like that when he was a child. Bei Bei looks more like Zhan Yin, and also a bit like Tong Tong. She has inherited the best features of both her parents."

"That's right, our President Beibei."

After entering the house and sitting down, the servant served hot tea, and the old lady asked again, "Where is your husband, Lao Shang?"

“I don’t need to take care of my grandson. He’s been out fishing for a long time now. He’s obsessed with fishing. He feels uneasy if he doesn’t go fishing for a day. Sometimes he even asks me to come with him. He says he’ll go fishing, and I’ll grill the fish. We’ll eat it on the spot and then come back.”

Mrs. Shang said disdainfully, "The fish he caught were so small that I could barely eat two bites of them after grilling them. It's a waste of my time grilling them."

"It would be better to just have someone buy the ingredients and have a barbecue in the yard."

The old lady said, "When are you going to have barbecue? Call me. I haven't had barbecue in ages."

Mrs. Shang: "...Let's wait until winter, when it gets cold, then we can have barbecue. But you're getting on in years, so you should eat less."

"It's okay. I just had a physical exam at the hospital. The doctor praised my health, saying that my test results were better than those of many young people."

Zhan Yue said, "If Grandma wants to eat it, we can eat it at home, but like Aunt Feng said, let's wait until winter to eat it. It's still warm now."

Winter arrives late in Dongguan. Right now, it's only cool in the evenings and mornings; it's still a long way from getting cold.

It won't get cold until November, but it won't stay cold for more than a few days before the temperature rises again.

In Dongguan, thick coats are useless during the winter.

"It's lively with lots of people."

Mrs. Shang laughed and said, "We'll all come to your house and have a barbecue with you then, it'll be so lively."

"Then it's settled. Eighth Brother, give Beibei to me, you can go back to work. I've taken up half your day again today."

The old lady changed the subject and urged Zhan Yue to go back to work.

Zhan Yue said, "I wanted to stay at Aunt Feng's for lunch before I left, but Grandma won't let me stay for lunch?"

"That's right, since we're already here, let's stay and have lunch before we leave."

Mrs. Shang also wanted Zhan Yue to stay for dinner.

Zhan Yue said that, but he didn't really want to stay. After putting down his teacup, he stood up and said to Mrs. Shang, "Aunt Feng, I was just joking. I have important business at the company, so I have to go back first."

"I have another lunch appointment at noon. Next time I have time, I'll definitely stay at Aunt Feng's place for lunch."

After the two families became relatives, they visited each other frequently and got along like family. Mrs. Shang didn't try to keep him, and said with a smile, "Alright, you go ahead and do your work. Come over for dinner another day when you have time."

She asked the housekeeper to escort Zhan Yue out.

After Zhan Yue left, Mrs. Shang asked the old lady, "I heard from Tongtong that your eighth son is pregnant? He's a doctor. How is the girl?"

"She's a doctor, her whole family are doctors, she's a nice person, not particularly beautiful, but Lao Ba is good enough for her. As long as Lao Ba likes her, I don't care."

"I already have so many granddaughters-in-law, even if one of my grandsons brings a man home, I can accept it."

Mrs. Shang chuckled, "You make it sound so easy, old lady. If someone actually brought a man home, you'd be so anxious you'd get blisters on your lips. Back when my second son was always single, I said the same thing: as long as he was willing to get married, I'd accept it even if he brought a man home."

"That's just talk. If I actually brought a man home, I wouldn't think that way. Fortunately, my second child is a normal kid."

"Tongtong said that Lao Ba hasn't confessed yet. Did he just start liking her recently?"

The old lady replied, "I only found out recently. He must have taken a liking to me last month. You know he was in a car accident at the beginning of last month, was injured, and was hospitalized."

“Xiaoya happened to be his doctor. He fell in love with her at first sight. He didn’t want to be hospitalized, but he ended up wanting to stay in the hospital for a long time. He stayed in the hospital for about ten days and was almost kicked out.”

"If you have someone you like, you'll stay a few more days, haha, that's normal. All your grandsons are like that, or rather, all men with women they love are pretty much the same."

"Great-Grandma, I'm hungry."

Beibei couldn't understand their conversation. After playing by herself for less than two minutes, she walked up to the old lady and said she was hungry.

"Beibei is hungry, shall we have some porridge?"

Mrs. Shang quickly got up and walked to the kitchen, saying as she went, "Tongtong said that Beibei still eats mostly soft food, so I had someone cook porridge before I went to pick her up."

“Beibei’s teeth came in later than other children, and she doesn’t eat much right now, so we’re still making porridge for her.”

The children in their family are not lacking in nutrition, but Beibei's teeth just come in a little late, not as fast as her older brothers.
