1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 1665 The Stubborn Little Stone
Many people from the clan came to help.

After they entered the courtyard, Grandpa Xiao gave them a thorough introduction one by one.

Everyone responded with smiles on their faces.

At noon, in addition to the people who helped, there were also village officials and respected elders from the clan, who sat at three tables.

During the meal, Grandpa Xiao said to them, "After the meal, I'll take you on a tour of the village so you can get to know it."

"I'll take you to visit the graves first thing tomorrow morning. After we return, I'll have the clan chief add Chu Xue and her three siblings to the family genealogy."

This surprised Chu Xue greatly, since women had no status in the family genealogy these days; many were only listed by their surname, and in some places, girls couldn't even be listed in the genealogy at all.

Grandpa Xiao probably sensed their confusion: "There's an ancestral rule that girls with great abilities will be written into the family genealogy, and those with special reputations will have their own separate page."

Grandpa does hope that one day you will all be like that.

The village wasn't big, and we explored it in no time. Everyone was very hospitable; when we passed by, they would offer us a tomato or a cucumber.

The whole family walked around, stopping frequently, while the children had a great time.

The next morning, apart from the children who didn't go, Grandpa Xiao led both families up the mountain.

This was the first time they had come to pay their respects since the grave was moved.

After the offerings were laid out, they took turns to pay their respects. Then they heard Grandpa Xiao say, "Chunyi, I've brought the children to see you. Don't worry, they're all doing well. Our second son's two granddaughters even got into university this year, which can be considered as carrying on your legacy."

When they came down the mountain, the clan elders were already waiting at home.

The names of the siblings were recorded in the family genealogy.

With that, all the business on this trip back is finished, and all that's left is to wait for the afternoon's return journey.

When they left, many villagers came to see them off and gave them a lot of vegetables and fruits, which suddenly brought tears to Chuxue's eyes.

The village was small, but it was very warm and welcoming; everyone was very simple and honest. The little ones didn't want to leave, and when one cried, the others followed suit. It took a long time to coax them into the car, and we promised to bring them back sometime.

These past few days, the little ones have been causing quite a bit of trouble, chasing other people's chicks or catching small fish in the river; they've really gone wild.

No one expected that Shi Tou would cling to his grandfather and aunt and insist on getting them into the car. He was truly heartbroken, with tears and snot streaming down his face.

This broke the hearts of the two elderly people.

Miao Yiqiu took out a handkerchief to wipe his face: "Stone, be good. After Grandpa and Auntie have finished dealing with things here, we'll come back to the city to be with you, okay?"

Stone's little brain works very well: "No, no, go home."

Mr. Xiao couldn't stand it any longer. A whole carload of people were waiting for him. He took the person and handed him to the car, saying, "If you don't leave now, it will get dark and the road will be difficult to travel. If you don't behave, we won't take you with us next time we come back."

Upon hearing that he wouldn't be taken, Shi Tou cried even harder.

I don't know what he was thinking, but he shouted, "Grandpa, save me! I want to stay here and live with you."

Everyone was stunned.

But the little guy was serious, reaching out his hand and shouting to the old man, "Stay, I want to stay."

Grandpa Xiao's eyes reddened as he glanced at his wife beside him.

Miao Yiqiu approached the car and said, "Lamei, how about I let Shitou stay here for a few days, and he can come and pick you up whenever he misses you?"

Now Xiao's mother was in a dilemma. She cherished her son like the apple of her eye, and she could not feel at ease without him by her side.

Judging from her son's attitude, if she didn't let him stay, there would probably be more trouble.

In the end, it was Mr. Xiao who made the decision: "Okay, you can stay if you want. I'll come pick you up in a few days."
