213. Chapter 213: It's just a title, you can call me whatever you like.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sheng looked at Ouyang Zhi and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Grandma Ouyang, hello, I'm Qiao Sheng."

She originally didn't know what Shi Yun's grandmother was called.

Feng Qingyang told her.

Only then did she find out.

Ouyang Zhi said with a smiling face: "I've already heard Feng Qingyang mention you more than once; upon meeting you, you really are a fine lass."

Qiao Sheng smiled and gestured for her to sit in the living room.

Before they even sat down in the living room, Shi Yun went to pour a cup of tea for Ouyang Zhi; of course he didn't forget Qiao Sheng, and shortly after he poured her a cup as well.

Seeing how well-behaved Shi Yun was,

Ouyang Zhi grew increasingly grateful to Qiao Sheng: "Miss Qiao, thank you..."

Qiao Sheng's expression involuntarily paused as she said this.

Qiao Sheng's expression involuntarily froze as he said this.

Wouldn't that make her the same generation as Shi Yun?

Then he probably wouldn't be able to call her Aunt Qiao anymore.

Seeing Qiao Sheng say this, Ouyang Zhi opened her mouth and said: "No, even if that's the case, thanks still need to be given."

Without waiting for Qiao Sheng to say anything,

Ouyang Zhi pulled a rectangular box from her bosom and handed it to her: "Miss Qiao, this is my greeting gift for you; take it. As for the thank-you present, I'll give it to you later."

Ouyang Zhi fished a rectangular box from her bosom and handed it to her: "Qiao Yatou, this is the gift I give you for our meeting; keep it. As for the thank‑you gift, I'll give it to you later."

Qiao Sheng waved her hand.

She really had no intention of accepting her things.

Ouyang Zhi shoved it into her hand without further discussion: "Things I give out are never taken back; just keep it. I don't give such things to just anyone."

"Aunt Qiao, my grandmother gave it to you, just accept it."

Shi Yun said from the side.

Seeing him still address her that way,

Qiao Sheng said to Shi Yun: "Shi Yun, from now on don't call me Aunt Qiao; call me Sister Qiao."

Qiao Sheng said to Shi Yun: "Shi Yun, from now on don't call me Aunt Qiao; call me Sister Qiao."

Shi Yun agreed without even thinking.

Shi Jin and Shi Ren couldn't help but think: if Qiao Sheng has Shi Yun call her sister, what should they call her?

If they still call her Aunt Qiao,

wouldn't that put them a generation below Shi Yun?

Ouyang Zhi spoke up: "Miss Qiao, it's just a title; you can call me whatever you like."

Her son and daughter-in-law, as well as the children she had earlier, all died; if not for that, the eldest would be not much younger than Qiao Sheng.

She looks to be only in her early forties, but her actual age is not in the forties; it's in the fifties.

Weren't the ancients supposed to care a lot about these things?

She said this.

This made Qiao Sheng quite surprised.

Qiao Sheng smiled and said: "Grandma Ouyang, you're right; let Shi Yun call me however he wants."

Qiao Sheng said with a smile in his eyes: "Grandma Ouyang, if that's what you say, then let Shi Yun call me however he wishes; whatever he wants to call me, he'll call me that."

Ouyang Zhi called Qiao Sheng outside for a private talk: "Miss Qiao, I might still need to ask you to look after Shi Yun for a while, because I have some things to attend to."

Ouyang Zhi called Qiao Sheng aside to speak outside: "Qiao Yatou, I may still need to ask you to look after Shi Yun for a while, because I have some other matters to attend to."

Qiao Sheng agreed.

Ouyang Zhi then said: "Thank you for your trouble."

In her view, looking after a child is more tiring than teaching a disciple.

If it weren't for that,

she wouldn't have sought Feng Qingyang's help.

Qiao Sheng lightly opened her lips and said: "Grandma Ouyang, you're being polite again. To be frank, aside from Shi Yun crying a bit at first, he's cried less afterwards; compared to Shi Jin and the others, he lets me relax a lot."

Ouyang Zhi spoke gently: "Shi Yun lost his parents when he was little, and I doted on him, making him a bit spoiled; seeing him become like this now truly makes me happy. Miss Qiao, I really am grateful…"

Ouyang Zhi said gently: "Shi Yun lost his parents when he was young; I felt sorry for him and raised him a bit pampered. That he can become so good now makes me truly happy. Qiao Yatou, I really appreciate…"

"Grandma Ouyang, you're at it again."

Ouyang Zhi immediately said: "Okay, okay, I won't say more. I've heard your cooking skills are good; I wonder if I might be fortunate enough to taste your dishes?"

Ouyang Zhi immediately said, "Alright, alright, I won't talk about that. I've heard your cooking skills are good; I wonder if I might be fortunate enough to taste the dishes you make?"
