Chapter 251 The Little Princess is Reluctant to Part!
The kids at the next table were grabbing and yelling, which made the three little princesses seem much happier eating.

They eat quietly and without making a fuss.

Even the food was served to her by Princess Yuzhang, Xiao Ran and Xiao Ruoying.

They finished eating in about twenty minutes and waited for the three grandmothers to leave together.

Grandpa was still drinking and chatting with several other grandfathers of similar age in the village. He probably won't be going back for the time being.

Xiao Ran and his companions did not linger and began to walk back.

"Weiyang, do you think it's delicious?" Xiao Ruoying asked.

"It's delicious. I saw the cooking process. It was quick and easy. At first, I thought it was rushed and haphazard, but I didn't expect it to taste so good. I mainly like the atmosphere," Princess Yuzhang said, linking arms with her grandmother.

"It's so much fun~ I want to come again~" said the little princess in Xiao Ran's arms.

"This isn't something that happens every day!" Xiao Ran said with a smile.

"When will there be ducks again?" The little princess really wanted to come again.

“We’ve had plenty of winters, we can come again!” Xiao Ruoying said.

There are indeed many banquets in winter, partly because people who work outside come home, and partly because rural areas are relatively quiet in winter.

Therefore, there are more banquets in winter, and a lot of money has to be given out as gifts.

Especially for those who haven't held a banquet for several years, they're losing money hand over fist!

As soon as we got home, the three little princesses went to let the Samoyed out and prepared water and dog food for him.

Xiao Ruoying carried the small round table over and brought the cake with her.

"Oh, I'm full. How about we talk about it tomorrow?" Grandma smiled, though she was still very happy.

I was already happy that Xiao Ran and Xiao Ruoying were back, but I didn't expect it was for their birthday.

Because the banquet was held on this day, no food was prepared, but we still had to try the cake.

"Grandma, it's your birthday today. Make a wish and have a little something to celebrate," Xiao Ruoying said, opening the box.

The three little princesses also rushed over.

Even though I'm already full, it won't stop me from having another piece of cake.

I love cream!

Hearing footsteps outside, Grandpa quickly pushed open the door and entered.

"His grandfather came back so early, I thought you would stay a little longer!" Grandma was a little surprised.

Xiao Ran and the others were also surprised that their grandfather had returned so quickly.

Grandpa looked at the cake on the table. "Xiao Ran bought you a cake for your birthday. Come back and have some cake."

Grandpa didn't care about eating cake; he just wanted to participate, since Grandma had never had a birthday celebration before.

Xiao Ran remembered that her grandparents had a very good relationship, a love that was the envy of many.

With more children, conflicts are inevitable when they get together during holidays, but the grandparents have always maintained a harmonious relationship.

Grandma listens to Grandpa on important matters, and Grandpa also takes care of Grandma's feelings on minor matters.

Princess Yuzhang lit the candles, and Xiao Ruoying turned off the lights.

"Sister Sizi is seventeen, sing a birthday song," Li Lizhi called out.

"Happy birthday, Ni!" the little princess was the first to lead the way.

I taught three little princesses a bit before, and they learned this very quickly.

Grandma smiled, overjoyed, as she watched the three little princesses clapping and singing.

"Milk~ Make a wish~" The little princess wants to eat cream.

"Okay!" Grandma cooperated without spoiling the mood.

Although no one was hungry, each of us still ate a small piece of cake.

There's no refrigerator at home, but the good news is that it's raining today and the temperature isn't high.

Cover it up and store it properly; it's still edible tomorrow.

Although it's not good to eat it for too long.

But the old man's personality made him reluctant to abandon her. Seeing the little princess dozing off, Xiao Ran helped the three little princesses with a quick wash.

It's just brushing your teeth, washing your face and feet; taking a shower here is really inconvenient.

We are all people who are used to going to bed early and cannot stay up late.

Everyone else had gone to sleep, but Grandpa and Grandma were still drinking tea by the stove.

Grandma held her teacup, a smile on her face, "Xiao Ran and Xiao Ying came back especially to celebrate my birthday."

Grandma noticed it too.

"Yes, it seems so. It must cost quite a bit of money to come here." Grandpa knew how far the ancient city was from here.

"Yes! Xiao Ran mentioned before that he seems to be doing well now, making a lot of money."

They used to urge me to get married frequently, especially my parents.

This time there was no urging, because they saw that Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang had come along.

The rain outside started to pour again, and I could hear the sound of rainwater running down the roof tiles even from my bed.

"It's surprisingly not noisy at all; it feels good to sleep like this," Princess Yuzhang said softly.

"Right now, it's just the sound of rain, it's really not noisy, there's no other noise." Li Lizhi looked out the window, which was completely dark.

"Rainy days are perfect for sleeping. I wish my second sister could sleep with me too." Xiao Ruoying was still thinking about her three little princesses.

"There will be other opportunities in the future, it's okay, it's okay."

"I love it here. My grandparents have such a good relationship."

"Grandma said she wasn't feeling well, but she wasn't worried at all. Grandpa was frantic, though. He said he was afraid Grandma would leave him alone."

Xiao Ran and his sister both heard this. They envied their grandparents for having such a good relationship, but they still felt a little sad.

"Grandpa and Grandma can't be around, so we'll give them more money. It seems like we can't give them much else," Li Lizhi said in a low voice.

“For a long time, my grandparents were richer than my dad and several uncles. They didn’t do business; they just farmed and sold potatoes, and raised cattle to calve. They saved money for many years and later helped my family. My uncles still owe my grandparents money!”

This surprised Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang, who did not expect the two elderly people to have savings, which was quite a lot for rural people.

"Sister Ruoying, what do your other uncles and aunts do?"

"Buying potatoes and opening a shop."

“Grandpa and Grandma have money, but the elderly are used to saving, so they save the money they receive.” Li Lizhi also noticed this.

"Yes!"

"Ruoying, you said before that your uncle is the second oldest, and that your grandparents live with your eldest uncle's family?" Li Li asked.

"No, it's with my fourth uncle's family."

"Hmm?" Princess Yuzhang asked, puzzled. "Shouldn't it be the eldest son?"

Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang were both eldest sons of the Tang Dynasty.

“In our area, if a family has several sons, the eldest son moves out after he gets married. They usually live with the youngest son, not the eldest,” Xiao Ruoying explained.

The next day, the group prepared to go back.

There are many things to do in the Tang Dynasty, so I can't stay for too long.

Grandpa and Grandma also understand that Xiao Ran has a lot on his plate right now.

Two days back is fine.

When it's time to leave, the old man always tries to pack all the good things from home into the car.

For example, cured pork and ham are quite delicious.

I prepared a lot of meat, knowing that there was no cured meat available outside, and wanted to ask him to take more back with him.

When it was time to leave, the three little princesses were a little disappointed. They liked playing there and they also liked their grandparents.

The honey they had taken with them was now stored in a jar.

"Drive carefully!" Grandpa instructed.

"Grandpa, I've got it."
