Cheng Yu's personality has changed a bit in one year.
In the past, she was bold and fearless, but now she always remembers not to cause trouble to Meng Tang, so she learned to keep a low profile.
Perhaps she was also influenced by what she saw and heard. Meng Tang kept a low profile, so she followed suit.
Tan Xi would occasionally call to ask about her situation, but Cheng Yu only said one sentence each time: "I like my life now, and I am very hopeful."
Everyone in the family was very kind to her. Cheng Yu herself felt that Meng Tang not only regarded her as his apprentice, but she was too embarrassed to speak directly to her daughter.
The temperature and humidity in the workshop were suitable in the afternoon. Cheng Yu held the clay sculpture and was immersed in the beam of light coming from the window lattice.
Meng Tang approached lightly without disturbing her.
The nine-year-old girl's hands were not immature at all, and her attention was focused enough that she didn't realize that she had been here for a while.
Hence, Meng Tang called her: "Little fish."
Cheng Yu looked back, his eyes brightened: "Master, you are back."
Hmm." Meng Tang looked at her, He said, "Wash your hands and test the wood's properties later."
Meng Tang bent down and pinched his face: "When I came back, you were having fun with me."
"I'm back now." Meng Jingfan hugged Meng Tang's thigh and acted coquettishly, and Cheng Yu felt goosebumps watching from the side.
I have never seen any boy who is so coquettish.
“It’s time to eat.” Sister Fang emerged from the kitchen and shouted.
Cheng Yu hurriedly went to serve the dishes and served the rice, Meng Jingfan followed closely behind.
The little guy was a little bit He knew that there was a new member in the family, and he was afraid that others would steal his favor and become their follower all day long.
Meng Yuchun would praise him at first: "Our Fanfan is so awesome, he even knows how to hold chopsticks before eating."
Wei Chuan suddenly smiled: "Is he diligent? It's obviously all out of his mind."
Meng Yuchun didn't react: "What kind of mindedness?"
Wei Chuan whispered bad things about his son in his ear: "He's afraid of the little fish. Steal his favor. "
Meng Yuchun raised his head and laughed: "So that's it."
Meng Jingfan didn't know that his little thoughts were exposed to the whole family. From then on, Cheng Yu was like a follower of whatever he did.
The follower took the chopsticks and sat down next to Meng Tang.
Meng Yuchun said something about eating before everyone moved their chopsticks.
"Your parents-in-law called this morning and asked when you two would bring Fanfan back to City Z. It's been a week since the summer vacation and there's still no news."
Meng Tang was a little surprised: "Why didn't you call me and Wei Chuan?"
"Maybe I'm afraid of rushing you." Meng Yuchun said, "I just mentioned it tactfully.
Meng Tang and Wei Chuan looked at each other, turned to ask Cheng Yu: "Xiaoyu, do you want to go to Z City? ?"
"I don't want to go." Cheng Yu quickly shook his head, "It's fine for me to stay at home with my master. Master, when you go to City Z, I will study hard with Master."
Z City is the home of Meng Jingfan's grandparents. We can't compete with her, so what's the point of her going there.
"Where have you been before?" Wei Chuan turned his face and asked Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu shook his head and said frankly: "I can hardly afford to eat. I have never been anywhere except the one-third of an acre at the east foot."
"Then come with us to visit City Z this time." Wei Chuan said, "There is only Fanfan at home. It's too deserted. He can't stay home every time. If you want to go back to Yanqing, you go over and play with him. You can probably stay for two more days. Fanfan's grandparents miss him very much, so naturally they hope he stays for a few more days."
Meng Tang also joined in: "He I'm not happy to stay there alone, so I have to drag you and I along with you, Uncle Chuan."
Meng Yuchun said, "Yes, that's true. Yanqing is not far from City Z. I'll go there for a few days and give you Sister Fang and Sister Ying two days off."
"Then I have to rest my old bones." Sister Fang said with a smile.
Sister Ying touched her and said, "Then I have to go home."
Cheng Yu no longer had any reason to refuse. She subconsciously looked at Meng Tang, who smiled and nodded.
Meng Jingfan asked: "Then when will we go back? Aunt Yuanyuan is pregnant with the baby. Can I see the baby this time?"
Meng Tang laughed: "No, the baby has to wait until winter."
Meng Jingfan was a little disappointed, imitating the adults and sighed: "I also want to give my toys to the baby. "
Wei Chuan said: "Your aunt has always been thinking about your treasure box, and you are willing to let it go?"
"Of course not." Meng Jingfan snorted. She said, "That was given to me by my great-grandfather. How can I give it to others?"
Meng Yuchun felt completely refreshed and thought that this boy was too sweet-mouthed, unlike his father who always quarreled with him.
Cheng Yu was going to Z city, so he tossed and turned and didn't sleep well for two nights.
Meng Tang noticed the dark circles under her eyes and asked casually: "What did you do with your arm?"
"Master." Cheng Yu's big black grape eyes were blank today, "I'm a little nervous. ”
Meng Tang laughed: “Don’t be nervous, just call Fanfan grandma and grandpa when the time comes. For relatives over there, you can call them whatever Fanfan calls them.”
Cheng Yu nodded.
Meng Tang rubbed her short hair and said, "After more than a year of raising it, my hair is no longer frizzy, and it is much smoother and brighter. I can grow my hair soon."
"I don't want to grow my hair, it's so troublesome." Cheng Yu wrinkled his nose, "I have to blow-dry it after washing, and take care of it every day. How can I have time?"
Meng Tang was amused by her: "Why do you feel that you are busier than me, my master."
Cheng Yu exclaimed, "Of course I don't have as many things to do as you do."
"Have your luggage been packed?" Meng Tang asked.
At first she asked Sister Ying to help Cheng Yu pack his luggage, but Cheng Yu insisted on doing it himself, so Meng Tang followed her.
She brought three sets of changes of clothes, which would definitely be enough for a ten-day trip.
Early the next morning, after Wei Chuan got up, he woke up Meng Jingfan and Meng Tang one by one. Cheng Yu was already up and brushing his teeth.
Sister Fang made breakfast. The old man got older and got up at four in the morning.
I had already had breakfast and went for a leisurely walk.
It was not until after breakfast, when Wei Chuan and the others were about to leave, that Meng Yuchun came back.
Meng Jingfan took Meng Yuchun's hand: "Grandpa, I will be back in two days. You have to listen to Sister Fang."
Meng Yuchun: "...I understand, little ancestor, let's go quickly."
Meng Tang got into the car and fastened the seat belts of the two little ones.
Cheng Yu was very excited along the way. He opened the car window and watched the scenery on both sides of the highway for an hour.
Meng Jingfan fell asleep as soon as he got on the highway, snoring like a little piggy.
After more than four hours, they arrived at the Wei family in City Z at 11:30 noon.
