Chapter 679 Eccentric Eyes
Mr. Qin and others also came over, all of whom looked at Momo with a smile, wanting to know how he would defend himself.
The little guy was panicked and subconsciously aimed at the third grandmother who had just recognized her relatives. Her little paws were restlessly pulling the corner of her clothes.
This is not the first time he has faced such an embarrassing scene. He was exposed on the spot before. He would cover up the love of his elders. This time it was different because he and Li Yingran met for the first time and did not want to leave her a bad impression of lying.
Seeing his pitiful look, Li Yingran was reluctant to make things difficult for him. She was about to ask for helping the little guy to cover it up when she saw Qin Xiaoxiao shook her head gently and signaled her not to pay attention.
Probably knowing that he couldn't escape, he quietly ran to Lin Qiuniang, hugged her thigh and acted coquettishly: "You are the best grandmother, and the third grandmother is also the best grandmother, you are all the best!"
Lin Qiuniang held back her laughter and pretended to be dissatisfied: "What can I do? There is always a better one, right?"
With a silence, he said heavily: "It's all the same! And the second grandmother is also the best grandmother!"
Anyway, it’s better if all three are grandma, second grandma and third grandma, they are all the same. Don’t make things difficult for him and a child!
Everyone present couldn't help laughing. Li Yingran couldn't help but think of Qin Xiaoxiao when she was a child. She looked at her and joked: "This child not only looks like you carved from the same mold, but also has the same temperament."
Qin Xiaoxiao felt that Feng Ping was killed again and said stubbornly: "It's still a lot worse. When I was a child, I was definitely not as stupid as him."
"Puff!" When Li Yingran heard this, tears burst out from laughing.
After hearing what his grandson said, Lin Qiuniang refused to let him go, showing a sad look: "It seems that I am not a better grandmother... Alas, the candy I secretly stuffed to you in the past is in vain."
Now that Momoji was numb, he hadn't eaten enough of the sweet candy! Now that he has made his grandmother sad, his grandmother will definitely not give him candy secretly in the future!
Thinking of this, he wisely said in a hurry: "My grandma and I have known each other for a longer time. My grandma gives me more delicious food, and of course it's better!"
I have to say that this reason is very good. Li Yingran and Zhao Caoer are really petty. If you want to be serious with him, you have to admit that what he said is true. It is normal for the little guy to think that Lin Qiuniang is better in the little guy.
Not only that, they will also have a compensatory mentality and want to be better for the little guy, such as stuffing more delicious food to him and talking and playing with him more.
Sure enough, as soon as the little guy finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.
Mr. Qin shook his head: "This smart look is like Xiaoxiao."
Old Mrs. Miao narrowed her eyes and said, "Isn't this an obvious thing? When I see him, my mind is full of Xiaoxiao's appearance when I was a child."
Lin Qiuniang pinched her grandson's little face and cursed with a smile: "You are just too kind, and at this time you still don't forget to plot against your grandmother."
Momo knew that calculating was not a good word, so he urgently argued: "No, no, I'm telling the truth, I didn't plot against my grandmother!"
This is indeed his truth. It is important to please his second and third grandmothers and get more delicious and fun, but the one he closes in his heart and depends on is Lin Qiuniang, the serious grandmother.
"Silly boy, grandma is teasing you." Lin Qiuniang touched his little head and whispered: "Grandma's box contains a pack of osmanthus candy, and I'll give it to you while your mother is away."
Momo's eyes lit up, and he secretly looked at his mother, making sure she didn't hear it, and whispered: "Grandma is the best!"
Lin Qiuniang couldn't help laughing and stopped teasing him.
At this time, the second wife also came out. Seeing Li Yingran who had not seen him for several years, he was naturally very happy.
Chen Lili and Yan Yu had never seen this third aunt. After everyone entered the house, the sister-in-law formally greeted Li Yingran and got two pairs of exactly the same jade bracelets.
The twins and Doudou are no exception. Not only did they get a unique toy, but they also had a long-lived lock engraved with the word "Fu".
The twins received a lot of such gifts, but they did not show any disappointment and thanked Li Yingran politely.
This guy Momo was used to doing things, so he asked Li Yingran to help hang the Changming Lock around his neck, and kept praising the Changming Lock as a good match for him. He wanted to wear it back and show it to his grandmother, which made Li Yingran smile.
After seeing the gift, the whole family sat down and asked about the past few years that their family of four had been in Yuncheng.
When Qin He learned that he was determined to manage the floods in Yuncheng, Qin Xiaoxiao felt that he must be sure of this, so he asked: "This is not a small matter. It needs to be reported to the imperial court layer by layer. The Ministry of Revenue will allocate money by the Ministry of Revenue. I wonder where he has now?"
Li Yingran replied: "I reported it a few months ago, but I have never received any response. However, your third uncle said that no matter whether the emperor agrees to allocate money, he will put the problem of flood control on the agenda and find ways to raise money."
Speaking of this, she shook her head helplessly.
Raising silver is not a matter of thousands or tens of thousands of taels. Without the grant from the court, even the wealthy families in Yuncheng may not be enough to contribute money and efforts. Moreover, those rich families are not stupid, so who is willing to do things that are not good?
Jing Heng spoke, "The floods in Yuncheng are frequent, and the emperor has always been willing to manage them. If the third uncle can come up with a solution, the emperor will definitely order the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works to fully assist the third uncle."
When Li Yingran heard this, she immediately sighed relieved: "In the past few years, your third uncle has devoted himself to treating floods except for those official duties. I don't know much about this, but the prefect and the governor of Liangjiang are very satisfied, and I think they are a little sure."
Jing Heng nodded: "Since I've arrived in front of the emperor, I'll see what the emperor means when I return to Beijing."
Li Yingran smiled and said, "Okay, so you don't have to worry about this change."
Controlling the floods in Yuncheng is no small matter, and success is a success. All officials, including the Governor of Liangjiang, will benefit from it. Everyone knows that the officialdom is like a battlefield, and it is difficult to ensure that someone has hidden selfishness and obstruction.
Mr. Qin and others did not understand the twists and turns, but they all knew that this matter was serious. If Qin He really managed the flood in Yuncheng, it would be a great thing for the benefit of the people. Therefore, they seemed extremely excited and kept asking about the things they were concerned about.
After hearing that once the flood is resolved, Qin He will be promoted as a great hero, Zhao Caoer couldn't help but feel excited and said to Li Yingran: "Sanbao is a sesame official in the Hanlin Academy. He has no future and no money. It is better to share the benefits of the third brother and follow the third brother to control the water together."
Li Yingran felt speechless and comforted her: "Hanlin Academy is the most expensive place. After these years, she will have a good way out for the three treasures. My second sister-in-law can rest assured."
Zhao Caoer curled his lips: "This kid looks like a wooden stake, not like the third brother, he is still hanging inside when he reaches the age of seventy and eighty."
Seeing her belittle Sanbao so much, no one else could listen, and they all looked at her with dissatisfaction.
Dabao said directly: "Mom, Sanbao is just not talking in front of you. If he is really a wooden stake, how could he win six yuan in a row like Uncle San? If you don't believe me, go out and ask if they will treat you as a fool."
This almost said that Sanbao didn't like you, so he would do this. Don't be disgusted here, so as not to be laughed at.
Zhao Caoer was not stupid, so he could naturally hear the oldest son's words. He was so angry that he slapped him on the back: "With your third uncle promoted, you have to stay in the Hanlin Academy to live? Do you know how to settle the scores as me, right?"
Seeing that her temper was getting better, Dabao didn't want to argue with her: "Mom, this is not a single word about water control, so don't worry about it. Didn't you say you wanted to live a few more years and see Doudou marry a wife and give birth to a great-grandson for you?"
Zhao Caoer was so angry that he gave him another: "Don't make me angry every day, I can live a hundred years old!"
Dabao suffered silently and did not fight her.
However, after he got into a slight trick, Zhao Caoer did not mention asking Qin He to promote the Three Treasures.
At noon, Erbao called Xueya and her family of three, and the whole family gathered together for a lively lunch.
After the meal, Dabao Erbao carried the gift Li Yingran brought to Sanbao and Tuyi, who was given to the whole family. Originally, the two brothers wanted to carry the gift to Sanbao's room, but when he came back, he was regular, so Zhao Caoer stopped him and insisted on opening the box to take a look.
The two brothers couldn't stop them and watched her open the box helplessly.
The wedding gifts given to Sanbao were similar to those given to Dabao and Erbao. Zhao Caoer looked at them twice and picked up the pair of exquisite jade pot spring bottles: "This thing looks good, and it just happened to be placed on the shrine."
As she said that, she accidentally looked into the bottle and accidentally found a small cloth bag stuffed at the bottom. She freed up her hand to take it out: "What's this thing? How did it stuff it into the bottle."
When Qin Chuan saw it, he was also curious about what was installed inside: "You can tell if you open it and look at it."
When Dabao saw it, he thought it was not good, so he hurriedly reached out to grab it: "No matter what it is, it was given to Sanbao by Aunt San. Don't make any wrong thoughts."
Zhao Caoer grabbed the small cloth bag and glared at him, "What's wrong with it? I'm his mother, and I can't have two things?"
Dabao said helplessly: "Tell me what you want. Sanbao can earn less than a few taels of silver a month and still have to support his family in the future. Don't catch him."
Zhao Caoer ignored him and opened the small cloth bag in a few seconds. He found a stack of silver notes with a face value of 100 taels. This was at least 2,000 taels. She was so shocked that she opened her eyes widened: "Okay, it's good for me to be a couple. I didn't expect to give Sanbao so much money, so how could she be so biased to uncle and aunt!"
Chen Lili and Yan Yu saw clearly and listened clearly, and their expressions were a little subtle for a moment.
