Zhou Wenbin kept an eye on Pei Feng but didn't tell Pei Shizhou what had happened to him. Pei Shizhou was busy entertaining the Lin family and wanted to take them to Kyoto for a few days.

Yesterday, I took the Lin family out for a day trip. Lin Weidong and his wife had visited Kyoto before.

Lin Weinan and his wife didn't go. Today was another early start to the day. Yesterday they went to Tiananmen Square, and now they plan to take them to climb the Great Wall.

Pei Shizhou and Xia Yichu stayed up until midnight last night. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, and considering that they were going to climb the Great Wall later, Pei Shizhou decided not to wake her up.

Call his grandmother and ask her to call the family's housekeeper to come and cook for Xia Yichu later.

Grandma Zhou happily agreed, telling Pei Shizhou to take good care of the Lin family and to leave Xiao Chu in her care before Pei Shizhou went out.

"Qiujuan, hurry up and go to the market to buy more vegetables. It's hot, so when you go to Azhou's house to cook lunch, don't let my Xiaochu get sunburned."

Grandma Zhou was bored at home, and considering that her grandson and granddaughter had just gotten married, she felt embarrassed to go and bother them.

"it is good"

Lin Qiujuan, the nanny for the Zhou family, readily agreed with a smile, genuinely happy for the two elderly people in the Zhou family.

"Xiaolin, I'll go with you."

Grandpa Zhou wanted to buy more food, even though Xia Yichu wasn't picky and said everything he cooked was delicious. Grandpa Zhou wanted to prepare several dishes so Xia Yichu could try them all.

"Yes, let the old man go with you. I'll go see Xiao Chu. Oh, and when you come back, keep your voices down so you don't wake Xiao Chu."

Before leaving, Grandma Zhou gave them a few words of advice. Only after hearing their reassurance did Grandma Zhou leave with peace of mind.

Grandma Zhou arrived at Pei Shizhou's house and quietly opened the door. Xia Yichu's room door was still closed. Grandma Zhou didn't go into the room, afraid that opening the door would wake Xia Yichu.

She crouched at the door like a thief, listening to the sounds inside, but heard nothing. She then cautiously went into the yard, and thought she heard children playing near the door.

Sure enough, when I opened the door, I saw seven or eight children, around ten years old, playing in the alley. Some were playing marbles, some were playing with picture cards, and others were jumping rope; their laughter echoed through the alley.

Grandma Zhou glanced at it, then turned and went home. She grabbed two handfuls of candy from Pei Shizhou's table, put them in her pocket, and went out again.

"Zhuangzhuang, come here."

Hearing Grandma Zhou's call, a chubby little boy ran over, covered in sweat.

"Grandma Zhou"

"Zhuangzhuang, Grandma Zhou is feeling dizzy and wants to sleep for a while. Why don't you take your friends to play somewhere else? You can share these candies and come back to play here later, okay?"

As she finished speaking, Grandma Zhou took out some candy from her pocket and handed it to the little boy.

"Okay, thank you, Grandma Zhou."

Zhuangzhuang's hands couldn't hold that many candies, and just as he was getting anxious, Grandma Zhou spoke up with a smile.

"Zhuangzhuang, take these candies for now, and come back for more later."

Upon hearing Grandma Zhou's words, Zhuangzhuang's eyes lit up, and he happily said, "Okay!"

Everyone loves Grandpa and Grandma Zhou. The two elderly people really enjoy children. When children play in front of their house, the two elderly people will sit at the door and watch them play, and sometimes they will give them something to eat.

This was the first time Grandma Zhou had ever sent the children to play elsewhere, as she was worried that they would disturb Xia Yichu.

Not wanting her neighbors to know that Xia Yichu was still sleeping at eight or nine o'clock and gossip about her, she could only say that she wanted to rest.

The children, innocent and with candy in their mouths, skipped and hopped away.

Xia Yichu was fast asleep and had no idea what was happening outside. She was eventually woken up by hunger. When she woke up, the curtains were drawn, and the house was quiet except for Pei Shizhou, who wasn't in bed.

She thought it was still early, but after she finished washing up and changing her clothes, she picked up her watch and saw that it was already 11:30. She hurriedly opened the door and came out.

She also complained that Pei Shizhou had acted up last night and hadn't woken her up this morning. Since her family was finally in Kyoto, she wanted to spend quality time with them.

As soon as I opened the door, I smelled a pleasant fragrance coming from the house and saw Grandma Zhou sitting on the sofa, with the TV off.

Grandma Zhou kept her eyes fixed on Xia Yichu's room door, so she noticed Xia Yichu was up immediately.

"grandmother"

"Xiao Chu"

Seeing Xia Yichu get up, Grandma Zhou happily went over to her, worried that Xia Yichu was starving.

I sat on the sofa for a long time, debating whether or not to go in and wake her up for breakfast. I finally decided that if Xia Yichu wasn't up by noon, I would go in and wake her.

"Grandma, what brings you here?"

"A-Zhou called and asked me to come over and watch over you. He took your uncle and the others to climb the Great Wall. Are you hungry? Here, have some water first. I'll go check if your grandpa has cooked yet."

Before Grandma Zhou could get up, Grandpa Zhou came out with a plate of food.

"Xiao Chu, dinner's ready."

"Grandpa"

Xia Yichu looked embarrassed. What on earth was Pei Shizhou up to? Not only did he not wake her up, but he also called her grandfather over to cook for her. What would others say about her if they found out?

"Xiao Chu, let's go eat."

Grandma Zhou pulled the dazed Xia Yichu to the dining table. Xia Yichu quickly said, "Grandma, I'll go to the kitchen to get the food."

"Okay, go ahead!"

Seeing Xia Yichu's expression, Grandma Zhou knew she might be embarrassed, so she didn't stop her from helping in the kitchen.

Soon, everyone sat down to eat together. Grandma Zhou and Grandpa Zhou chatted with Xia Yichu while eating, and the room was filled with a warm atmosphere.

Meanwhile, Pei Shizhou was enjoying the magnificent scenery of the Lin family on the Great Wall and was preparing to take them out for a meal.

After lunch, the two elderly people from the Zhou family sat for a while before going home. Xia Yichu wanted to invite her uncles over for dinner that evening, so she planned to go to the mall to buy some things and also pick up some groceries.

Tomorrow her uncle's family is going back home, and she wanted to buy them some things. She originally planned to take her aunt to the mall, but it seems her aunt won't have time.

Besides, even if she had time to go shopping, she definitely wouldn't let Xia Yichu spend money on her. Therefore, Xia Yichu decided to go to the mall by herself.

She went straight to the mall to look at gold jewelry, wanting to buy some for her aunt. Xia Yichu had already bought her aunt four necklaces and two gold bracelets last year, but now her aunt wouldn't let her buy any more, saying she would get angry if she did.

Xia Yichu just thought that the price of gold would rise in the future; it's only about 80 yuan per gram now. It was even cheaper last year, only a little over 60 yuan.

She comes over every now and then to buy herself something; besides gold jewelry, she also bought many gold bars. It's a good investment and a good gift for later.

Xia Yichu was looking down as she selected gold jewelry when someone suddenly called out to her from the side.

"Yichu, which one do you like? I'll show it to you."

Xia Yichu wondered how anyone in the mall could recognize her. She couldn't recognize the voice either. Xia Yichu looked up.

She saw a young saleswoman looking at her with a big smile. She looked somewhat familiar, but Xia Yichu couldn't remember where she had seen her before.

"Excuse me, you are...?"

"I'm a friend of your cousin-in-law Zhou Miaoying. I was one of your bridesmaids at her wedding. My name is He Jiaying, and I work as a sales clerk here."
