Ms. Li, upon hearing this, eagerly volunteered to take over the task of researching how to fry the pork. Naturally, Yang Chuxia was happy to delegate it to her.
Meanwhile, Little Yangyang came bounding over to the Yang Family, with Li Wen following behind him, covered in sweat. Couldnât this young master slow down just a little? What if he tripped and fell?
"Grandma, Grandma!"
Inside the house, Ms.Wang was chatting with her nephew, Wang Pingtao, when she heard the voice and instantly broke into a smile, then she said to Wang Pingtao, "Thatâs Xiaxiaâs youngest son, Little Yangyang, coming over."
"Yangyang, youâre here again?" Ms.Wang was about to go outside when, just then, Yangyang charged into her arms like a little cannonball.
"Wow, Grandma, what do you mean âagainâ? Are you not happy to see me?" Yangyang pretended to be upset.
"Not at all, not at all, Grandma is delighted youâre here. Why not spend the night at Grandmaâs as well, would that be okay?"
Yangyang shook his head, "That wonât do."
"Why not this time?"
"Because you donât have a training room. I need to practice the horse stance in the morning," explained Little Yangyang. "My mom set up a special training room for me, and it even has weapons inside."
"Oh, my poor dear grandson," Ms.Wang said, her heart aching at his words. "Youâre so young to start doing the horse stance. Qingrui also did it and would have sore legs that couldnât get up the next day. How can such a small child endure that? Do your legs hurt in the morning?"
"Not at all, Grandma, Iâm used to it. I started practicing in Mianyang, I even practice boxing," Little Yangyang boasted.
"Boy, becoming an official really makes a difference, huh? Starting them with training so young," Wang Pingtao said enviously as he watched the boy. His household still had two daughters and not a single son. Otherwise, his mother wouldnât have let him divorce his wife and marry his cousin.
"Huh?" Hearing him speak, Little Yangyang looked over, "Grandma, who is this? I didnât see him this afternoon."
"Oh, this is your uncle, just arrived this afternoon." Ms.Wang said with a smile, "Heâs your motherâs cousin. Grandma was just about to ask someone to call over your parents. Did your parents come home?"
"Uncle, hello!" Upon hearing this, Yangyang greeted Wang Pingtao and then told Ms.Wang, "Theyâre back, Grandma, and my mom bought a lot of stuff, but she didnât buy me a single thing. Baby is so mad!"
"Ha ha, youâre so funny when you talk," laughed Ms.Wang, who then tried to pat his head but was dodged by the boy, "Grandma, you canât touch my head anymore, a manâs head shouldnât be touched casually by a womanâs hand."
"..."
"..."
Both Wang Pingtao and Ms.Wang were stunned by his childish words.
"Yangyang, youâre still a child, forget about this man and not man stuff."
"Then Iâm a little man," Little Yangyang spread his arms wide, his big eyes glittering brightly.
"Alright, alright, Grandma wonât touch your head, little man."
Ms.Wang was amused; this child was really something!
In the evening, Yang Chuxia and Ye Ziâan came over to the Yang Family together and were surprised to see Wang Pingtao.
"Cousin, why are you here by yourself? Where is your wife? And the kids? Why not bring them over so we can get acquainted? Otherwise, we might bump into each other on the street and not even recognize one another." She was serious; she hadnât been able to attend Wang Pingtaoâs wedding, and afterwards her relationship with Ms.Qian of Wang Family had soured to the point that she hadnât met his wife to this day.
"They are all at home," Wang Pingtao scratched his head awkwardly. "I came to take refuge at your place because my mother has been pressuring me every day to divorce your cousin. I couldnât stand staying at home anymore."
