章 1010: Chapter 1010 Borrowing Money_1

Li Rou, holding Tong Xiaoxing's hand in one and Tong Xiaoyue's in the other, tightened her grip on the children's small hands when she heard Tong Tiehu speak. Smiling, she began, "Grandpa, they've just returned, and it's rare for them to visit; they should at least have a drink before leaving."

"Have you boiled water?" Tong Tiehu, hands clasped behind his back, asked without expression.

"I'll go boil some now."

"Don't bother, they're not strangers. I run over there every day; no need for such formalities," Tong Tiehu said, urging Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang to get on the carriage, "You have a lot of work to do back home, don't you? Don't linger here; go back."

"Wait," Li Rou interjected, stepping forward with Tong Xiaoxing and Xiaoyue in tow. She smiled and said, "Xiaomai, are you and Sanlang coming over again tomorrow?"

"Yes," Qiao Xiaomai replied tersely.
