Chapter 112. Reception
"Grandma, you don’t need to fuss over us, we’re not strangers, and we’re not going to be shy. Quickly sit down, holding the child must be heavy." Liu Rong pulled her grandmother toward a chair, making the old lady laugh until her eyes squinted.
Li Shi on the side also laughed and said, "Rong is right, Grandma, I’m not cold, but you’ve been busy all morning and must be tired now." Saying this, she helped the old lady to a chair together.
"What could tire me out at home?" She said that, but her heart was indeed warm, then picked up a sweet and soft-baked sweet potato from the coal brazier and handed it to Li Shi. "This is a sweet potato, very sweet. Peel it and feed it to the child. My great-grandson has had a tough journey; hurry and eat something sweet to warm your stomach."
"Thank you, Grandma," Li Shi accepted it without any hesitation.
The aroma of this thing was truly overpowering. You could smell it as soon as you came in, and it was intriguing. Only after peeling it did you realize it smelled so good and tasted even better. Sitting by the brazier, she fed it to her son.
Because of the reasons for growing vegetables, there were coal braziers both inside and outside the house, with several burning. Each one had some roasting, so there was no worry about shortage. Seeing the generous granddaughter-in-law made the old lady smile and not forget to share with the other kids. Eating the warm sweet potatoes, Liu Rong and the others couldn’t stop at all.
Seeing the house full of children made the old lady happy, but she also thought about the busy kitchen and didn’t stay long in the main room.
"You all stay warm in the house, Grandma will make something delicious for you."
Upon hearing this, Li Shi placed the sweet potato from the child into the child’s father’s arms, "Grandma, let me help too."
Even if there were many tasks in the kitchen, the old lady didn’t have the heart to let the granddaughter-in-law work right after coming; it had been a tiring journey.
