"Grandma, Manbao is not tired."
As Qi Manman spoke, she stretched out her arms and grabbed her sleeve to wipe Mrs. Qi's sweat.
The little one didn't wipe very accurately, but she almost melted Mrs. Qi's heart with sweetness.
Look, look, having a granddaughter is so good!
Compared to those stinky boys, which one knows how to care for people like a granddaughter?
Qi Shilang watched his little sister wiping grandma's sweat, blinked, and looked toward grandpa who was walking over briskly. Suddenly, he opened his arms and ran towards grandpa.
"Grandpa, hug! Hug!"
"What hug, you're a big boy now, stand on your own!"
At this moment, Qi Zheng only had his precious granddaughter in his heart, and didn't even glance at his little grandson's request for a hug.
Qi Shilang felt his little heart was seriously wounded in an instant.
Qi Quanjin noticed this when he saw his wife coming over to help. Seeing Xiao Shi in this state, he felt a bit sorry and picked him up directly.
"Xiao Shi, come, Fourth Uncle will hold you."
Qi Quanjin picked up the child and walked towards his wife.
In fact, he wanted to see his daughter too, but seeing that his parents were surrounding her, he figured he wouldn't be able to hold her, so he decided to check on his wife first.
Who knew that just after taking two steps, his eyes were suddenly blocked by someone.
He almost stumbled and wobbled.
Just as he was about to tell Qi Shilang not to mess around, the little guy said in a childish voice, "Fourth Uncle, Xiao Shi will wipe your sweat for you."
The little guy was raising his arms, mimicking Qi Manman's act of wiping sweat for Qi Quanjin.
Qi Quanjin paused, staring in surprise at the little one in his arms.
What was going on with Xiao Shi today, acting so strangely?
It was Yi Meng who saw this and came over smiling, "Xiao Shi is learning from Manbao!"
After explaining, she didn't forget to praise Qi Shilang, "Our Xiao Shi is thoughtful and well-behaved too! Such a good child."
Qi Shilang's little face turned red, and he smiled at Yi Meng, "Fourth Aunt, Xiao Shi will wipe your sweat too."
By now, Qi Quanjin had looked over at his own daughter, noticing the little one wiping his father's sweat with her sleeve, instantly understanding Qi Shilang's earlier actions.
Look, having a daughter is indeed better.
In the past, this rascal didn't seem so sensible.
But since the daughter has come, she's even taught the rascal how to be considerate.
The Qi Family sat together eating, looking at the soft and cute Qi Manman, and none of them felt tired anymore.
The nearby villagers, looking at the Qi Family, all craned their necks to see the little girl who had been adopted by the Qi Family.
But thinking about having to continue working soon, they felt even more tired and wanted to rest more during this time.
As for the girl at the Qi Family, there would be plenty of opportunities to see her later, no need to rush.
Some couldn't hold back their curiosity and hurriedly finished their meals to come over, but before they could reach the Qi Family's area, the sky suddenly darkened.
The sky that had been clear just moments before was now filled with clouds, and they were getting thicker and darker.
Very quickly, the white clouds turned into heavy black clouds.
"Oh my gosh, it's going to rain, hurry and harvest!"
Someone's shout snapped everyone out of their surprise. They couldn't even bother with their bowls, and some left their half-eaten dry food, rushing into the fields to harvest.
Yi Meng was about to take the two little ones back, but seeing the dark clouds, she couldn't leave them. She told them, "You two stay here and don't run around."
Then she placed the baskets used for food and dishes over the little ones' heads.
Though they weren't entirely waterproof, it was still some shelter.
The two little ones were thus covered.
Qi Manman held onto the edge of the basket, peeking out, her small body crouched in a ball, big eyes staring at the dark clouds, muttering to herself, "How can Grandpa Jade Emperor do this? After all the incense and fish, why let Grandpa Dragon King make it rain?"
Mentioning Grandpa Dragon King reminded Qi Manman of something, and she exclaimed, "Oh Grandpa Dragon King, sorry! Yesterday's fish was so delicious. Manbao... no, no, Grandpa Dragon King, that fish, Manbao tried it for you, it was really tasty!"
"But Grandpa Jade Emperor doesn't listen to Manbao, he cheated and ate all the fish, it wasn't Manbao's fault not to let you taste it!"
"Grandpa Dragon King, my grandpa and they are all afraid of rain during the harvest! Can you not make it rain? If you do, Manbao will cry from heartache!"
With that, she blinked her big eyes, tears ready to fall.
Just then, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a thunderous sound.
The people working in the fields shivered with fright, some even slipping and falling to the ground.
"Meng Niang! Meng Niang! What are you doing here, get the kids back home!"
Mrs. Qi, after being startled by the thunder, remembered something and urged Yi Meng to take the children.
Yi Meng couldn't care less about the crops right now.
Such loud thunder, wouldn't want to scare their Manbao.
Dropping the rice in her hands, Yi Meng dashed towards the two little ones by the roadside.
Strangely, just as Qi Manman's big tear was about to fall, the clouds began to disperse.
The speed at which they disappeared was even faster than they had gathered.
The ominous sky was quickly replaced by bright sunlight.
"What's going on?"
"Oh my, the heavens are testing our courage, aren't they?"
"I was scared to death just now, thinking our harvest this year wouldn't be safe!"
The villagers chattered and exclaimed.
Mrs. Qi and Qi Zheng's hearts skipped a beat, instinctively looking towards Qi Manman.
Yi Meng had already reached the children, holding them close and gently patting their backs.
Qi Manman was looking up at the sky, muttering something unknown, pointing at the sky, looking puffed up.
"Old man..."
Mrs. Qi walked to Qi Zheng, looking as if she had something to say but hesitated.
Qi Zheng looked up at the sky, still a few white clouds, but very light and thin, not looking like rain at all.
"Let's not talk about it, let's hurry and get to work!"
In the end, Qi Zheng said nothing more.
Mrs. Qi also looked up at the sky, sighed, and then shouted at the kids to hurry the fall harvest.
With the Qi Family leading, others didn't dwell on sighing either, quickly picking up the pace to harvest.
