Chapter 974: Good Feelings (3)
Cui Qingrou was reluctant to scare her nephew and comforted him softly, "Your grandmother is alright, but she’s getting on in years, and if you don’t go back now, it may not be the same."
Originally, Cui Pingan wanted to act spoiled towards his aunt and stay at the Mo Family for a few more days, but upon hearing his aunt say this, he immediately dropped the idea, "Mmm, nephew will go back with aunt and will definitely not make grandmother, aunt, and Uncle worry about Xiaoqi anymore."
Cui Qingrou looked at him with a satisfied expression, "Xiaoqi has really grown up!"
"Auntie..." Cui Xiaoqi scratched his head embarrassingly, filled with gratitude towards Mo Yan. In the past, he had been too careless, never considering things from his grandmother and their perspective. This time when he returned, he was determined to sincerely apologize to his grandmother.
Cui Qingrou had planned to offer her thanks and then take Cui Pingan back to the Cui family, but the fellow insisted that one must finish what one starts, and he was determined to complete a day’s work before willing to leave.
Aunt and nephew argued for a while, and eventually, Cui Qingrou admitted defeat, allowing Cui Pingan to go.
The jobs that Cui Pingan did every day were only two: chopping wood and carrying water to water the vegetable garden. Both tasks required strength. If it had been the Cui Pingan of before, he would need to rest for half an hour after chopping wood for just a quarter of an hour, and he could only carry two and a half bucketfuls of water. Now, his health had improved a lot, and his strength had grown, so he could continuously chop wood for half an hour without a problem, and each time he carried water, he could carry two full buckets.
Cui Qingrou watched, her heart aching yet also filled with pride. She had already felt that her nephew’s spirits were better, and he seemed stronger, but it was only after seeing him work with ease that she became even more certain that his health had indeed improved.
