Chapter 450 They were almost carried up the mountain with a bang and drums.

Including Wang Jun and the others, there are now six in total.

Anyway, the house is already built. Grandma Qiao isn't coming to live here for the time being, and Shen Qingyan isn't home either. There are still rooms in the new house that they can all live close by.

Perhaps this reaction was a bit excessive. In a small place like Hongfeng Town, it might attract some criticism, but Yan Liti was still worried, especially after what happened with Meng Zihuan.

They're building roads so openly now, who knows how many people are watching them.

Hiring so many bodyguards also serves as a deterrent!

Upon hearing this, Qiao Qiao didn't ask any more questions. After finishing her routine of brushing her teeth and washing her face, Aunt Wang brought over a bowl of steamed eggs.

He spoke softly and gently to Qiao Qiao, "Qiao Qiao, you got up late. How about having a bowl of steamed eggs to tide you over? Lunch is served at 11 a.m. If you eat too much, you won't be able to eat lunch. Today we have your favorite glutinous rice fish for lunch."

Aunt Wang was the nanny Yan Liti hired in the tenement building to cook for the family.

Now the new house is bigger, and there are more people living there. We've hired an extra cleaning lady, not only to cook but also to clean the house.

There are now four housekeepers in the new house, two for cooking and two for cleaning.

However, these nannies do not live at home for the time being. Instead, they take turns coming over at eight o'clock every morning and leaving after preparing the last meal in the evening.

Yan Liti carefully selected all four nannies. To avoid a repeat of the blunder that happened with Yang Juan, she hired women in their forties to fifties.

The Qiao family is now very famous in Hongfeng Town. Almost everyone knows them. The Qiao family is not only rich, but also has connections. Even a small housewarming party attracts many leaders.

In addition, Yan Liti was generous with her wages, so the nannies cherished their jobs and doted on the children of their employers, especially Qiao Qiao, for fear of upsetting her in the slightest.

Of course, money was one thing, but the nannies genuinely adored Qiao Qiao. After all, who wouldn't like such a pretty, well-behaved little girl with such a sweet voice?

When the aunties spoke to Qiao Qiao, they would deliberately use a high-pitched voice, just like now.

Aunt Wang's voice was extremely low and soft.

"Okay, thank you, Aunt Wang." Qiao Qiao nodded obediently. Seeing that Aunt Wang still wanted to feed her, she pointed to a small table and stool next to her.

The small table was specially made by the village carpenter, commissioned by Grandma Qiao, according to her height.

That way, she won't have to use a chair as a table when she eats.

The steamed egg custard was very tender, topped with a layer of chopped minced meat, sesame oil, a little soy sauce, and chopped green onions. Qiao Qiao ate it with great satisfaction.

But as she ate, she saw a big mouth coming closer to the edge of her bowl.

Big Mouth belongs to the large turtle.

"..." Qiao Qiao.

Turtles are indeed omnivorous animals.

Every time Qiao Qiao eats something, this big turtle opens its mouth wide and tries to get a little bit of food from her.

Qiao Qiao wasn't stingy either, so she scooped a spoonful for the big turtle next to her.

After the man and the turtle finished their bowl of steamed egg custard, the two old people were still arguing, arguing so fiercely that they wanted Fu Yu to act as a mediator and judge the matter.

Fu Yu's method of resolving the dispute was also very simple: he simply played a game of chess with both elderly people.

Finally, he said: You are all inferior to me, there's nothing to argue about.

When Qiao Changdong, Yan Liti, and Yan Xiaoqing returned from outside, Qiao Qiao was watching with great interest as Fu Yu utterly defeated the two old people.

She didn't know how to play chess, nor could she understand it, but Fu Yu was very patient. The two sat in the same spot, and while he played chess with the two old people, he also taught Qiao Qiao how to play chess.

"..." Two elderly people who had become teaching tools.

It's very sad.

They couldn't understand how Fu Yu's brain worked, how he could, at such a young age, completely destroy them, these old guys with decades of combat experience, leaving them with no way out!

Finally, the two old men sheepishly put away the chessboard, saying that playing chess too much was not good, as it could easily lead to a loss of ambition!

Then the two old people, with their hands behind their backs, became good friends again, and with the same little steps, went out of the yard to watch the workers who had started digging the foundation around the house again that day.

Qiao Changdong naturally picked up Qiao Qiao and hugged her, kissed her little face, and asked her if she had eaten breakfast.

Qiao Qiao nodded and returned his kiss.

After lunch was prepared, Qiao Qiao and Qiao Changdong ate their meal and then took the packed food to the hospital to visit Meng Zihuan.

Meng Zihuan is no longer in mortal danger, but he has a large gash on the back of his head and will need to stay in the hospital until the stitches are removed.

This process is estimated to take about a month.

"Sister, Uncle, you've finally arrived! I've missed you both!"

As soon as Meng Zihuan saw Qiao Qiao and Qiao Changdong appear at the ward door, his chubby face, which had been looking miserable, instantly blossomed into a smile.

"Is brother hungry?" Qiao Qiao asked.

"I'm not hungry, but I don't want to stay in the hospital anymore, sob sob, little sister, can you go and talk to my mom and beg her to let me be discharged?"

Meng Zihuan was by nature a rather unconventional and restless person.

He was really bored during his hospital stay, and he even started to feel that going to school early every day was a happy thing.

He felt energetic and perfectly fine.

But Qiao Xiaoyun just wouldn't let him leave the hospital.

He felt as if he were lying in this hospital bed, and a brood of chicks were about to hatch on the bed.

"No, brother, you'll have to stay for at least another two weeks." While Qiao Changdong was opening his lunchbox, Qiao Qiao climbed onto the hospital bed and sat down, even counting the days on her fingers for him.

"Ah...that's too long. By then, it was already the harvest season holiday, and I still had to go fishing with Brother Kun and the others." Upon hearing this, Meng Zihuan suddenly looked like a frostbitten winter melon, losing all his vitality.

The busy farming holiday is in May, because May is the time to plant the first crop of rice in Hongfeng Town. From elementary school to junior and senior high school, everyone has to have a week to ten days of busy farming holiday to help with farm work.

This was a holiday that Meng Zihuan was really looking forward to, because it meant he could spend the whole holiday hanging out with his cousins, going up mountains and down rivers, doing the most fun things.

"You dare to go fishing in the water? I bet you don't know you were almost carried up the mountain with drums and gongs!"

As Qiao Changdong laid out the food and was feeding Meng Zihuan with a spoon, he heard Meng Zihuan's words and replied irritably.

"..." Meng Zihuan.

She puffed out her cheeks, looking a little aggrieved.
