Chapter 1058: Such a Little Glutton

Seeing the things on the cart, Granny Zhang clapped her thigh and said, "Oh my little darling, why did you buy so many things?"

Xinyan giggled, "Of course, it’s to help you nourish your bodies. Did you miss me?"

Granny Zhang tapped her forehead, "That’s so corny."

The two of them burst out laughing.

At this moment, the old couple of the Gu family also came out upon hearing the noise in the courtyard.

Seeing them, Xinyan smiled and called out, "Grandpa, Grandma."

Gu Yiwen laughed, "Were you cold? Hurry inside to warm up."

Meanwhile, Grandma Tao Shuqing came over and took Xinyan’s hand, "It’s okay, your hands are warm."

At this time, Zhang Yueshan also pulled the cart into the yard.

Granny Zhang, worried Xinyan might be cold, said, "Let them carry the things. You go inside first. Just today we have tofu and soy milk at home. I’ll get you a bowl."

With that, she headed straight to the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Xinyan was pulled into the house by the old couple of the Gu family. Grandma Tao Shuqing asked, "Yanyan, how’s your mom?"

Thinking of her mom’s current state, Xinyan replied with a smile, "She only got a tummy; from behind, she doesn’t even look pregnant. She’s doing well, so you don’t have to worry."

Bringing in the soy milk was He Jinxuan, "Yanyan, the soy milk is here. Drink it while it’s hot to ward off the cold."

He was also holding a tin of white sugar, "I’ll add some sugar for you."

Knowing Xinyan doesn’t like sweet things, He Jinxuan added just the right amount.

He also knew Xinyan had something to say to the old couple of the Gu family, "I’ll head out first, call me if you need anything."

After finishing the soy milk, Xinyan placed the bowl aside, "Grandpa, Grandma, are you used to living here?"

Both of them nodded with a smile, and Grandma Tao Shuqing said, "Yes, we’re used to it. Apart from missing you, your grandpa and I are very happy every day."

Xinyan could tell these words came from the heart, and she felt reassured, "Jinxuan and I visited Great-Grandfather’s grave this time in Sanyuan."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yiwen’s eyes instantly reddened, "I’m such an unfilial son. I haven’t paid my respects to him for so many years. He must be extremely disappointed."

Xinyan comforted him, "Grandpa, don’t think like that. I told Great-Grandfather about what happened afterward. He’ll understand."

Standing by, Tao Shuqing also consoled him, "Yanyan is right. If not for the circumstances, you wouldn’t be unable to visit the grave for so many years."

Seeing her grandpa calmer, Xinyan said, "Grandpa, it won’t be long before you can do what you want. Then we can move Great-Grandfather’s remains back to the ancestral grave."

Gu Yiwen was very excited to hear this, "Yes, Grandpa is looking forward to that day."

After that, they started talking about the situation in Beijing and those three families, "Grandpa, Grandma, within at most half a year, you will definitely be able to return to the capital openly. Even if they can’t completely eliminate those three families, they won’t dare to act recklessly."

Gu Yiwen looked at Xinyan, "Is there any news about those followers?"

Recalling the news she received before departing, Xinyan said, "The search range has been narrowed down, and it should be soon. Perhaps you’ll receive good news by the New Year."

After discussing the main matters, Tao Shuqing then asked, "How many days can you stay?"

She knew her granddaughter was definitely going back to Beijing for the New Year, as she had been keeping an eye on it.

Then Xinyan said, "We have to leave tomorrow afternoon. My cousin is getting married on the 26th, and I promised her I’d be there."

As their conversation came to a close, Granny Zhang’s voice echoed from outside, "Wash your hands, it’s time to eat."

Possibly because of the cold, everyone’s energy needs were higher, and Xinyan found herself truly hungry.

She got up and took a bowl from the table, "Grandpa, Grandma, I’ll go help out."

But just as she said this, Grandpa Gu Yiwen commented, "Our little glutton is just looking for food, trying to make it sound nice."

Xinyan playfully retorted, "Grandpa, it’s enough that you know. You don’t have to say it out loud."

That directly made the old couple laugh aloud.

With a bowl in hand, she went into the kitchen, "Granny Zhang, are you making sauerkraut stew? I could smell it back in my grandparents’ room."

Granny Zhang’s eyes were full of affection, "I knew you liked it. You really are a little glutton."
