Old Man Cheng opened his eyes wide in surprise, his eyeballs almost popped out, and he just stared at everything in front of him, as if he was stupid.

After a while, he suddenly blinked and slapped himself hard.

"Oh! Old... old woman, look! The fairy peach."

Old man Cheng's tongue was trembling with excitement.

Zhang looked in the direction where his finger pointed and saw her little granddaughter rolling her eyes because of the pressure from a huge peach.

"Peach, peach, take this peach away quickly, it's crushing my baby."

"Oh, it's all my fault. I'll take it right away."

Old man Cheng finally reacted and hurriedly picked up the peach. It felt heavy in his hand, probably weighing about a pound.

He held the peach in both hands and examined it carefully.

Peach has a pointed head, a round butt, and is wearing a pink coat that is shaped like a heart.

When you get close to it and smell it, a unique peach fragrance hits you.

“This, this peach…!”

Zhang quickly glanced around, then suddenly looked at the little granddaughter in her arms, her eyes burning like two jumping and burning sparks.

The little ball in her arms grinned sweetly at her.

Then she saw with her own eyes that a peach of the same size appeared out of thin air on the cradle.

"This..., what's going on?"

Old Man Cheng turned his head dully and looked at Cheng Zeli and his wife, and asked in a low voice.

Cheng Zeli blinked innocently and spoke.

"We didn't know what happened. When we woke up, we saw Nannan holding a peach."

"Could it be that our sweetheart is a fairy who picked the peaches from the Queen Mother's Peach Garden?"

"This peach is so beautiful, it doesn't look like it can be grown in our mortal world."

"Oh, my dear, please take this fairy peach back quickly, or the Queen Mother will blame you."

“Cough cough cough…cough cough cough cough…!”

Cheng Zeli's face turned red as he watched his parents imagine things. He was amazed at how wild their imaginations were. He accidentally choked on his own saliva and his face turned red. It took him a while to recover.

It was just right that he didn't have to rack his brains to come up with a reasonable explanation.

"My dear, please take the peach back quickly. Grandpa and grandma don't dare to eat the food of the immortals."

The little baby in my arms has big eyes like black grapes rolling around, and her pink and tender little face is just like this peach.

“Bang, bang, bang, bang…!”

The sound of a heavy and powerful object falling to the ground echoed in this cramped space.

Old Man Cheng and Mrs. Zhang stared at the pile of sacks in front of them in amazement, and it took them a while to come back to their senses.

“This this this this…!”

Old Man Cheng was so surprised that he was incoherent.

Cheng Zeli pretended to be shocked and walked forward to open a sack.

“It’s rice!”

Old Man Cheng excitedly stepped forward and grabbed a handful.

The rice is white and crystal clear, with a delicate and soft texture and a pure and flawless appearance. Each grain of rice is plump and round without any impurities or incomplete parts.

"This rice is even better than the finest refined rice in the grain store."

"Dad, come here quickly, this bag is rice."

"Oh my god, this is excellent rice seed!"

Old man Cheng covered his mouth excitedly, his eyes widened, and the blood in his body seemed to be boiling.

His heart beat faster and his breathing became rapid, as if his heart would jump out of his throat if he let go.

"Old man, keep your voice down. Don't let others hear it."

"This secret only needs to be known by the four of us. Don't let anyone else know it."

"Guaibao is still young, and her ability is too powerful. We are ordinary people. If outsiders knew about this, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to protect her."

"A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. We all understand this truth. Don't worry, mother. Nannan is our daughter. We will definitely keep this secret for her."

After getting Cheng Zeli's assurance, Zhang looked up at Li again.

"Don't worry, Mom. Nannan is my flesh and blood. I will definitely keep my mouth shut."

Old man Cheng was holding the golden and plump rice, his eyes welling with tears of excitement, and he didn't hear clearly what Zhang said.

Zhang was so angry that she handed the child to Li and twisted his ears.

"Old man, I'm talking to you, can't you hear me?"

"Ouch, ouch, be gentle, my ears are going to fall off!"

He pulled Old Man Cheng aside and warned him repeatedly not to disclose the secret to anyone, for fear that he would get cocky and tell the secret to others.

"I'll save it, old woman. I'll twist your ears off."

"My dear, she is my sweetheart, my lifeblood. How could I harm her? I can still tell the difference between what is important and what is not."

Seeing that the three of them had made their promises, Zhang's heart finally settled down. She held her granddaughter in her arms and spoke with sobs.

"My dear granddaughter, you are carrying so many things. Will it have any effect on your health? You can't risk hurting yourself just because you feel sorry for us. You are still so young. I don't want you to be filial to us. I just want you to be healthy."

When little Tuanzi saw his grandmother crying, he raised his white little hands to touch her face, and babbled some baby talk that no one could understand.

"Mom, don't worry, didn't you say Nannan is a little fairy? How could a fairy hurt herself because of such a thing?

The most important thing right now is how to get the grain out so that no one will be suspicious."

"I remember that the small cave next to my father's house seemed to be uninhabited. Children often played in the cave, or I hid the rice seeds there and asked the children to find them."

Li thought for a while and suggested carefully.

"This is a good idea. It not only clears us of suspicion, but also allows us to present it openly."

Zhang said happily, looking at Li with admiration. Although the third child could not do farm work, he had the best brain.

"As expected of my wife, follow me, smart!"

Cheng Zeli said arrogantly.

"Don't show off. Come with me and move the rice seeds before daybreak."

At noon, each household was preparing lunch, and a group of children were playing hide-and-seek in the caves.

"Ten, nine, eight... three, two, one."

"Hide well? I'm coming to find you!"

Cheng Zewu and Cheng Dafu's grandson Cheng Dalin ran towards their secret base hand in hand.

This is a low and narrow cave with winding paths and rugged rocks. It is not suitable for human habitation, but it is the best place for hide-and-seek.

The two men ran breathlessly to the back of a big rock. There was a room-sized hole on the wall behind the rock, which was perfect for hiding people.

"I found you, come out!"

"Oh, what bad luck, I was found by you so soon!"

"Okay, we've found them all. Now it's someone's turn to find them."

"It's Jinwu's turn!"

"No, where is Jinwu? Jinwu is not here."

Cheng Jinwen looked for his brother in the crowd but couldn't find him.

"And my brother is missing too!"

Cheng Erlin, who was standing by, also noticed that Dalin was missing.

A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. The cave was pitch black without a trace of light. The two men hid in the cave and listened to the anxious sounds of their companions outside the cave looking for them, secretly rejoicing.
