ch 17.2 - Trouble (1/2)
Even though she didn’t remember any of them, she chitchatted with them politely. She didn’t know where the patriarch’s house was, but luckily she brought her sister with her and she was able to guide her to the patriarch’s house.
She just arrived at the door when the patriarch heard their arrival and came out to greet them. Seeing Cheng Xiao Xiao, the 60 something patriarch smiled like a chrysanthemum, “Look, it’s the two girls from the Cheng’s!”
“Grandpa Liu, I can to return your wagon. Thank you so much for letting us borrow it!”
Cheng Xiao Xiao bowed to him and gave him the steamed buns that she had brought with her. She smiled to him, “Grandpa Liu, here’s some steamed buns that we bought from the marketplace for the kids. Please accept our token of appreciation!”
“Oh, the Cheng girls are so polite, you didn’t need to do that! You should save them for your brothers and sister!” Patriarch Liu took over the wagon and waved his hand and didn’t concern himself too much with the steamed buns.
Little Lan Lan, who was still inside the wagon, stood up and said loudly to him, “Grandpa Liu, we bought lots of steamed buns! Mom said to give these to the big brothers and sisters in the Liu residence!”
“Oh, little Lan Lan is such a good little girl!” Smiled Patriarch Liu.
Right then, a woman around 40 or so walked outside from the house. She’s the patriarch’s daughter-in-law, people referred to her as Zhou Yu Niang. She smiled, “Xiao Xiao and Lan Lan are here, why didn’t you come inside?”
“It’s alright right, Ms. Zhou, we still have to go home and help mom with dinner.” Said Xiao Xiao with a bow.
Looking at the elegant and graceful young lady in front of her, Zhou Yu Niang couldn’t help but said, “The Cheng girls are so educated and well rounded, any guy will be lucky to have you as their wife!”
“I think Liu Danhang will be a good fit for her. Yu Niang, why don’t you help matchmake the two. Perhaps Zhen niangI1 (Liu Danhang’s mother) will buy a big pig head to thank you!”
The person who made that statement appeared in front of the group. She was a middle age woman in a floral outfit. She, too, was a resident of Willow Village. Her name is An Xiao Hong, and people referred to her as Hong niang.
