Wang Yong had lunch at Yue's house before returning and brought Dong's mother back with him.

When she heard her daughter finally had good news, she thanked all the Bodhisattvas in heaven and said she would go to Qiuyun Temple to fulfill her vow. Then she started to worry. No one in the family had any experience, and there were so many children to take care of. After much deliberation, she decided to come and look after them for a few days.

But the autumn harvest was coming up in a few days, and keeping Li Xi and Dong's father at home would only lead to gossip. Dong's mother asked Li Xi to go back to her parents' home to see if there was anything she could do to help. Li Xi was extremely unhappy, her mouth pouting to the sky. Only when Dong's father asked her to bring back a chicken did she finally smile and leave.

"Where are they?" Dong's mother took Dongdong around and didn't see anyone.

Wang Yong took the things his mother-in-law brought to the kitchen and said, "I'm going to set up the stall. I'll take you there and return the car while I'm there."

"Then let's go check it out too," Dong's mother agreed with a smile. She didn't think setting up a stall was a big deal. Many people in the village still worked in the fields when they were pregnant. Although Li Xi didn't work in the fields when she was pregnant, she did help with the housework, but she only did the light work.

The Dong family hasn't visited this stall yet, so it's a good opportunity to go and see how the business is going and what they're selling.

Wang Ji's stall is usually surrounded by many waiting customers. Wang Yong took Dong's mother to the back, and the children each did their job, looking very professional.

The three children stood in a row. Xia Chu had a smile on her face and spoke fluently. Guests teased her from time to time, but she never got angry or annoyed.

Xia Tian stood in front of the wok, stirring the food with a pair of extra-long chopsticks. When it was ready, he would take it out and put it on a plate, which Zhang Zhou would pass to the customer.

I don’t know what Xiao Guanxu is busy with, but he looks very busy.

Only Dong Xiaohuan was sitting on a stool, chatting with the woman from the stall next door, just like the tycoon in the drama who exploited the tenant farmers.

Dong's mother was so angry when she saw this, but she was worried that she was tired and that she was having a happy time here.

"Auntie!" Dong Dongdong let go of his grandmother's hand and rushed towards Dong Xiaohuan.

Xia Chu caught a glimpse of something moving towards Dong Xiaohuan out of the corner of his eye, and before he could even think, he had already crashed into it.

Dong Xiaohuan smiled and stretched out her hand to catch it, but just as she touched the person, Xia Chu knocked them over, and the two children fell to the ground. Dong Dongdong fell to the ground, looking at his sister with round eyes in confusion.

"Oh, get up quickly, get up quickly." Dong's mother and Wang Yong each picked up one and helped them up.

"Sister hit me..." Dong Dongdong's mouth flattened, and the pain in his arms and legs surged up. Tears fell instantly, and he closed his eyes, raised his head, and opened his mouth wide to speak in one breath, "It hurts, grandma, sister hit me, wuwuwu..."

Xia Chu felt embarrassed and regretful, shaking her hands and saying, "I, I didn't mean it!"

"You're quite skillful, girl." Wang Yong rubbed her head. "Go and get busy first. It's okay."

"It's okay, go ahead." Dong Xiaohuan comforted her, took a string of braised fresh sausages from the stall, and waved them in front of Dong Dongdong. "They smell so good, does anyone want some?"

Dong Dongdong paused crying, opened his eyes and glanced around, his little nose moving, "Dongdong wants to eat."

After coaxing her nephew, Dong Xiaohuan moved the stool aside and said, "Mom, why are you here? Sit here."

Dong's mother said angrily, "If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known you were the boss here. The children are busy all day, and you're still sitting back watching."

Dong Xiaohuan blushed. She wanted to help, but the moment she went over, the children's attention was on her. She simply didn't go over and cause more trouble, and just helped watch from behind.

"Grandma! We were the ones who asked Mom to sit in the back," Xia Chu took the time to explain, "We didn't want Mom to come, she was worried."

The guests around laughed and said, "How filial!"

"I came here just for these kids. It's kind of fun to see them busy."

"Those little hands and feet are so nimble."

"Don't mention it, I love watching it too."

"I'm different. I came here because the food is delicious."

The people around started chatting one by one. Those who were a little impatient just now also became a little more patient in this relaxed atmosphere.

Dong's mother couldn't bear to see her children busying around, so she stuffed the stuff into Dong Xiaohuan's hands and went to help. She wasn't good at counting, but she was good at frying things. "Xiaotian, your grandma is here, take a break and have some water."

Before Xia Tian could even open his mouth to refuse, the chopsticks in his hand were snatched away and he was pushed away from the pot.

"Xiaotian, come and sit for a while." Dong Xiaohuan pulled Xia Tian over and gave him the water bag, "Have a drink of water."

Dong Dongdong's face was still covered with tears, and he was chewing on a fresh sausage. He had forgotten what he had said before. He looked around curiously, his free little hands itching to move.

"How long will it take before I can go back?" Wang Yong looked at the group of people in front of the stall. "Business is booming."

"Usually the stall can be closed within two hours."

"I'm going to return the car. I'll come back later."

"Okay, go ahead, slow down."

"understood."

Wang Yong said hello and left. Dong Dongdong squeezed in next to Xia Chu while they were talking. He leaned on the food cart and stood on tiptoe to look up. This pot smelled the best.

"Hey, why are you here? Be careful of the frying pan." Dong's mother pinched her grandson's neck and pulled him away. Zhang Zhou helped to coax him away.

"Is my fresh sausage not ready yet?" an old woman urged.

Just as Xia Chu was about to speak, Dong's mother looked up and said, "That's good. You bought it for the child, right?"

"Yes, I'm crying out for food every day." The old woman wiped her sweat, obviously too hot. It was the height of autumn, and she was standing in front of the stall, surrounded by people.

"I would love to eat it too. It costs only three cents and it's all meat. Who wouldn't like to eat it?" Dong's mother started talking to others. The old woman chatted with her and stopped urging her. She just fanned herself with a handkerchief.

With Dong's mother helping out, Xia Chu and the others felt relieved. Xia Chu was the one who usually spoke the most; Xia Tian and Zhang Zhou weren't as quick-witted as her. They'd been answering the same questions so many times that they inevitably felt a bit tired. Dong's mother wasn't familiar with the topic at first, but after she spoke more, she'd pick up the pieces when someone asked her a question.

She can also take turns frying things with Xia Tian, so Xia Tian doesn't have to stand still all the time.

When closing the stall, Xia Chu couldn't help but sigh: "It's great that grandma is here."

Mother Dong smiled so hard that the wrinkles on her face piled up. "Then grandma, can you stay a few more days?"

Xia Chu said happily: "Okay! I'll make the bed for grandma!"

"I want to live here too, sister~" Dong Dongdong held his sister's hand and completely forgot what happened before.

Xia Chu lifted up his sleeve and took a look, his face flushed a little. "Sister bumped into you before, does it still hurt?"

"Ah? It doesn't hurt anymore." Dong Dongdong looked at her arm, stretched out her chubby little hand, pinched her index finger and thumb together, "Just a little bit. Sister won't bump into it next time, otherwise Dongdong will get angry."

Xia Chu was touched by his frowning face while giving instructions. "I'm sorry, sister, I didn't mean it. But auntie is pregnant, it's impossible to bump into her belly."

Dong Dongdong didn't quite understand, but nodded anyway.

"Your love for this child is really worth it, what a good child." Dong's mother said as she helped Xia Tian push the cart from behind. She wanted to do it herself, but Xia Tian was not happy.

Dong Xiaohuan smiled, "That's right. I don't know what good deeds I did in my previous life to have these good children."
