Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"Hey, Third Brother, are you free this Saturday?"

Wang Dashan called his third brother Wang Xiaohua.

The last time he called Wang Xiaohua, he was focused on solving the problem and didn't mention the matter of watching the child.

"Yes, yes."

Wang Xiaohua answered readily, because he had already guessed that his eldest brother was very likely calling him to watch the child.

"Then come to Guangzhou this Saturday, take a look at your nephew, I'll reimburse your plane ticket."

"Sure, no problem!"

Wang Xiaohua said with a smile:

"I've wanted to go see him for a long time! I'll bring Jianjia along then!"

Wang Dashan then said:

"Good!"

After hanging up on Wang Xiaohua, Wang Dashan called Wang Erhai again, asking if he was free this Saturday to come again, so the whole family could gather together.

Wang Erhai also agreed readily:

"Big Brother, even if I'm not free I have to make time, us family, the chances to gather together in the future will probably be fewer and fewer, I'll bring Yueran along then!"

Yeah, the time to gather together in the future will become fewer and fewer.

The three brothers live in three different places.

And they're all already married.

They all have their own small families now.

Right now Wang Erhai and Wang Xiaohua haven't had kids yet, so that's still alright.

Once they both have their own kids, wanting to gather again, I'm afraid except for those few days of Spring Festival, there really won't be many opportunities.

"Okay okay, you go ahead and get busy, I'll talk to my mom."

Wang Dashan hung up on Wang Erhai, then called his mother Li Xiulan.

Li Xiulan received this call, but frowned slightly:

"Dashan, didn't Wu Banxian say? The child is still small, body weak, can't contact too many people within half a year, otherwise it's easy for pestilence evil to invade."

Wang Dashan then said:

"Mom, we're not holding a full moon banquet, just us family gathering, doesn't count as many people, it's fine. Besides, haven't you still not seen your grandson? Could it be you don't want to come down and take a look?"

Li Xiulan thought for a moment, that was true.

The reason she didn't go before was because Wang Dashan and Du Xiaojuan didn't say to let her go.

Now the eldest son, eldest daughter-in-law, have both personally issued the invitation, so naturally she has to go.

She actually wanted to hold her grandson a long time ago.

"Alright, then I'll talk to your dad in a bit, just afraid he won't be willing."

Wang Dashan was puzzled:

"Why wouldn't he be willing, letting him come down again, see his precious grandson one more time, he actually still wouldn't be willing?"

Li Xiulan chuckled:

"Mainly because Wu Banxian said, the child is still small can't see too many people."

"Alright then, you talk to dad first, call me after you've talked it over with him."

Li Xiulan hung up on Wang Dashan, turned around and went to discuss this with Wang Zhanggen.

As expected, hearing that the whole big family was gathering to go see his grandson, Wang Zhanggen immediately became unwilling:

"What? Didn't we agree not to hold a full moon banquet? Then what's the point of gathering!"

Li Xiulan then said:

"This is different from a full moon banquet, just us two old people, plus Erhai and his wife, Xiaohua and his wife, the whole family going to see the child!"

But Wang Zhanggen waved his hand with a determined expression:

"This won't do! If by any chance my grandson gets invaded by pestilence evil, what then! Who can bear this responsibility! Wu Banxian's words aren't a joke! His calculations are very accurate!"

Li Xiulan then said:

"Wu Banxian only said not to hold a full moon banquet, not to take the child to crowded places, he didn't say this kind of small family gathering isn't allowed!"

But Wang Zhanggen still insisted on his own view:

"Anyway no, can't take the risk! I absolutely won't go again!"

Li Xiulan was extremely depressed:

"You've seen your grandson so you won't go, what about me? I still haven't seen my grandson!"

Wang Zhanggen pulled a long face:

"You go yourself, anyway I won't go again! My legs and feet aren't convenient!"

Li Xiulan was so angry at this attitude she gritted her teeth:

"You old stick-in-the-mud, how can you be so stubborn! If you won't go I'll go myself!"

But Wang Zhanggen said:

"If you go, you have to hurry back, lunch I can make do with, but dinner can't be missed!"

Li Xiulan said angrily:

"Can't you do it yourself!"

"My leg is broken, how can I do it!"

"Then go next door and beg for food!"

"I'm not going, how embarrassing would that be!"

"Then starve, starve for a day, it won't kill you!"

Li Xiulan ignored Wang Zhanggen in a huff.

Wang Zhanggen is just this kind of person, prone to going from one extreme to another.

In current terms, he's like a "diode".

There's simply no room for middle-ground negotiation!

Li Xiulan called Wang Dashan back, saying she would go herself on Saturday, Wang Zhanggen wasn't going, and she would just ride down with Erhai then.

Wang Dashan smiled wryly:

"Still wanted to take a big family portrait then, sigh, if he's not coming then forget it."

In a blink, Saturday arrived.

Li Xiulan got up early in the morning.

Going to Guangzhou today, this trip will definitely take the whole day.

Whether she can return in the evening is still uncertain.

She still couldn't help worrying about leaving Wang Zhanggen alone at home; after all, this old thing has a broken leg, he really can't move conveniently, asking him to go to someone else's house to solve lunch and dinner, he'd probably refuse out of stubborn pride.

So after thinking it over, Li Xiulan finally decided to get up early and prepare lunch and dinner for Wang Zhanggen in advance; anyway, there's a refrigerator at home now, make the rice and dishes, put them in the fridge, when he wants to eat he can just take them out and heat them up.

After Li Xiulan prepared the two meals, she also cooked breakfast.

Then while eating breakfast, she said to Wang Zhanggen:

"I've prepared both lunch and dinner for you, they're in the refrigerator, one is minced meat with tofu, one is stir-fried chicken with mushrooms, eat one dish at noon, one dish in the evening, when you want to eat, put it in the electric rice cooker, press reheat, wait a bit and you can eat."

Wang Zhanggen wore a long face:

"Can't you just not go!"

Li Xiulan huffed:

"Dashan said they originally planned to take a big family portrait, and you still have the nerve to let me not go!"

Wang Zhanggen retorted:

"When I went down initially, he and his wife didn't mention a word about a big portrait!"

Li Xiulan was angered into a laugh by his words:

"You went over so hastily, they didn't even have time to let Xiao Hua come over, how could there be a big portrait?"

Wang Zhanggen argued back confidently:

"Is that my problem? That's their problem! When the baby was born, they should have notified us; it's been several days since the birth and only now they tell us! What kind of thing is this!"

Li Xiulan didn't want to bicker with him, because bickering with him would only make her suffer!

So she said indifferently:

"Forget it if you're not going! Anyway, you never really raised the three kids from childhood to adulthood! Whether you're in the big portrait or not makes no difference!"

These words spoken, they made Wang Zhanggen so angry he immediately broke down.

"How did I not raise them? If I hadn't disciplined them, would the three brothers have their current achievements?"
