Grandma Wang smiled and said, "With so many children, they're not picky eaters."

“Yes, I heard that Ruixiang is a picky eater, but he just finished everything. He was especially picky about food when he lived in the old house,” Jiang Lifang said. “Besides, there are a lot of kids in the house, so it’s lively!”

Everyone nodded in agreement with Jiang Lifang's words.

Grandma Wang smiled and said, "No wonder the old lady likes having children around. Watching these children eat made me eat half a bowl more porridge."

“Hehe, so are we,” Jiang Lifang said.

The mornings and evenings here are warm and cozy, but things are not so harmonious at the Huo family's old residence.

Song Chunli got up early and couldn't find her eldest grandson, so she looked everywhere for him. When she realized he wasn't home, she quickly asked, "Huanhuan, Ruixiang has never lived outside before. Aren't you afraid he'll cry if you leave him there?"

“Mom, Ruixiang asked to stay over there and play with his younger siblings,” Zhao Huanhuan explained. “Kids like being around people.”

"How can you be such a mother? How can you just leave your child outside like that?" Song Chunli frowned. "You better hurry up and bring your child back to me."

Huo Yingjun came in from behind and said, "Mom, that's my second brother. His wife won't mistreat Ruixiang."

"We're just upset, but we don't know what's going on," Song Chunli said, thinking about how she had a falling out with the second wife's family before. Those people couldn't do anything to her, but what if they were to target her grandson?

Zhao Huanhuan was somewhat speechless; her mother-in-law's petty nature had struck again.

"Mom, if Ruihua and Ruimin are left with our second brother and sister-in-law, will you feel sorry for those two children?" Huo Yingjun asked. Even if his mother was confused, she wouldn't be upset with the children.

"Of course not," Song Chunli said. "Your second aunt and I don't get along, but what do the children know? Why would I argue with those two kids?"

They're all descendants of the Huo family; she couldn't possibly do something like that.

"Hehe, that's it." Huo Yingjun said, "Then don't worry about your second aunt. Your second sister-in-law has wronged Ruixiang. They watched him grow up, and they're too busy caring for him to have any ulterior motives!"

“That’s true, your second aunt is sharp-tongued, but she really wouldn’t do such a thing,” Song Chunli said. “Sigh, I won’t be the bad guy anymore. You’re all not worried, so why should I worry? Huanhuan, go and take some clothes to Ruixiang, and see if he’s been crying.”

"I've packed the clothes. If Ruixiang doesn't like living here, I'll bring him back," Zhao Huanhuan said. Her mother-in-law finally stopped talking, which relieved her.

After breakfast, Zhao Huanhuan passed by there on her way to work and delivered a few pieces of clothing.

The three children are playing in the sand, and they don't seem unhappy at all.

"Second sister-in-law, has the child caused you any trouble?" Zhao Huanhuan asked. "If Ruixiang is naughty, I'll take him away."

“He wasn’t being naughty; he just played in the sand after finishing his meal,” He Tiantian explained.

Playing in the sand looks really dirty.

Seeing that her sister-in-law's expression was off, and knowing that her sister-in-law was a doctor and might be a little obsessive about cleanliness, He Tiantian quickly said, "Hehe, sister-in-law, don't worry, Yingjie personally washed all that sand. It's very clean and there's no mud."

"Okay, that's good." Zhao Huanhuan smiled awkwardly. "Since you're so happy, I won't take it with me. I'll trouble you to look after it for another day or two, second sister-in-law."

"It's no trouble at all," He Tiantian said with a smile.

"Good morning, Mom." Huo Ruixiang greeted his mother when he heard her voice.

"Good morning, Auntie..." the twins said.

Zhao Huanhuan was taken aback. When did her child become so polite? She smiled and said, "Ruixiang, Ruimin, Ruihua, good morning to you too. Mommy's going to work now. I'll come see you again tonight, okay?"

"Mom, you go to work. Don't come pick me up tonight. I'm going to stay at Auntie's house for a week," Huo Ruixiang said. In his mind, a week was a very long time.

Zhao Huanhuan smiled wryly and looked at He Tiantian, saying, "Oh dear, this is the first time this child has been away from home, and he doesn't even miss home. It's really rare. He used to be unwilling to stay with my mother."

“There are kids playing here,” He Tiantian said with a smile. “Sister-in-law, it’s getting late, you should go to work. I’ll watch the kids for you.”

"Okay, I'm off then," Zhao Huanhuan said with a smile.

Goodbye, Mom.

Goodbye, Auntie!

The three children simply looked up and continued working on the sand in their hands.

Now it's a crucial moment; the castle is almost finished, and there's no time to get up and whine to Mom.

Zhao Huanhuan was deeply moved; in just one day, she could feel that her son was different.

He's not as naughty as before, and he's become much more sensible.

It seems she has a chance to learn from her second sister-in-law how to raise such well-behaved and obedient children.

Around 10 a.m., He Tiantian squeezed juice and gave it to the three children, one cup for each of them.

It's sweet and sour, which kids love.

Lunch, nap, and play again in the afternoon.

Huo Ruixiang loves this place and doesn't want to go home; he's so happy he doesn't want to leave.

When Zhao Huanhuan came to pick up her son after get off work that evening, he refused to go home with her.

When they arrived at the Huo family's old residence, Song Chunli was furious to see that Zhao Huanhuan hadn't brought back her grandson, but she was too embarrassed to say it in front of everyone.

Qi Xiaoyan had nothing to do during summer vacation, so she came over to find He Tiantian.

The house is lively and bustling all day long.

After finishing her business here, Jiang Lifang packed her bags and went back.

She no longer needed to worry about the younger siblings, and began to miss her husband in Nanshi.

Jiang Wenwen arrived before I left.

I brought three pieces of clothing.

“Auntie, come and see, this is a dress I made for you,” Jiang Wenwen said. “I designed it myself, and it will look beautiful on you.”

Jiang Lifang was touched by her niece's thoughtfulness, regardless of the clothes.

"Okay, I'll try it." Jiang Lifang took a white top and orange cropped wide-leg pants and went into the room.

"Sister Tian, ​​this is what I designed for you," Jiang Wenwen said. "Sister Xiaoyan, isn't she here?"

"Who's looking for me?" Qi Xiaoyan arrived with her child.

Since Qi Xiaoyan had nothing to do at home anyway, she often brought her child over, and that's how she ran into Jiang Wenwen.

"Sister Xiaoyan, it's me! The clothes are all ready for you. Come and try them on!" Jiang Wenwen said excitedly, very satisfied with the three outfits.

Qi Xiaoyan loves new clothes the most, and said, "Okay, okay, I'll try them on right away."

Just as He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan went inside to try on clothes, Jiang Lifang came out of the house.

Jiang Lifang was wearing a white V-neck top with three-quarter sleeves, slightly fitted at the waist, and orange-yellow cropped wide-leg pants with slightly wide legs. She also wore black leather sandals.

"Wenwen, I really like this outfit." Jiang Lifang had just looked in the mirror inside the house, and it looked much better than her usual short-sleeved shirts and trousers.
