Chapter 326

"However, we have always believed that the reason why Dad said that is because he wanted to monopolize Mom."

Nian Nian looked around and made sure that his parents were not around. Then he lowered his voice and whispered in his grandmother's ear.

When Leng's mother heard this, a look of embarrassment and ashamedness appeared on her face.

After all, she knew very well in her heart that if Ruoan had not been reluctant to let them go, according to Leng Zexi's original plan, after the three little ones turned one year old, he would have directly thrown the children to the old house and handed them over to other people to take care of them.

Alas, these things have already passed, why bring them up again? It is more important to maintain a good image for my son in front of my grandchildren.

Thinking of this, Mother Leng smiled and said to the two children: "My dear children, what else do you need to do next? Tell grandma and she will help you clean up, okay?"

At this time, Sui Sui raised his head and his eyes inadvertently fell on his grandmother's hands painted with shiny nail polish.

He just shook his head gently and said seriously, "Grandma, you just need to watch here carefully, but don't help me, otherwise you will get your pretty hands dirty!"

Mother Leng looked down in the direction of Sui Sui’s gaze, and then she suddenly realized - it turned out that she was actually "disdained" by her little grandson!

Oh no, it seems this manicure is really causing trouble! No no, I must go and remove it this afternoon!

"Grandma, don't worry. We are here and will definitely be able to pack up everything." Sui Sui said as he swiftly brought a small stool and placed it next to Leng Mu's feet, motioning for her to sit down and rest.

Then he turned around and continued to work on the vegetable garden with Niannian.

They have become accustomed to this kind of cleaning work, which happens every half a month or so.

I still remember that at the beginning, the whole scene was accompanied by Ningning's heart-wrenching cries, which made people feel so distressed.

But this time it was much easier. I didn't need to spend energy to comfort the crying Ningning. I just had to concentrate on completing the cleaning task.

Ningning was being taken out by her father, and they didn't seem worried at all.

After all, Dad has always been the kind of person who makes a lot of noise but does little. He yells at people but in fact he is reluctant to touch Ningning at all.

Moreover, Dad was also afraid of being scolded by Mom, so even if Ningning occasionally acted naughty, he would just scare her at most and would not really hit her, and Ningning did not feel any pain every time.

Before long, the two of them quickly tidied up all the places that needed to be cleaned up.

Then, they all looked towards the vegetable garden that their mother had carefully tended.

Remembering that he had agreed with Ningning to deliver food to others, he hurriedly walked up to Leng's mother and told her about it.

After hearing this, Leng's mother was actually not very willing.

Because as soon as she heard the name of Zhang Kai, she could clearly sense that the other party seemed to have ill intentions towards her daughter-in-law.

However, when she saw the two well-behaved and lovely grandchildren in front of her, she couldn't bear to refuse their request.

Finally, Leng's mother nodded helplessly to show her agreement.

"Go ahead, I'll explain everything to your parents then."

"Since I've already promised them, it would be bad to go back on my word."

As Leng's mother spoke, she looked at them lovingly. In fact, deep down in her heart, Leng's mother was still full of confidence in her son, and she firmly believed that her daughter-in-law would not be easily taken away by others.

Hearing grandma's approval, Sui Sui and Nian Nian were very excited and shouted in unison: "Thank you, grandma!"

Then he ran happily to the vegetable garden, ready to pick fresh vegetables to give to others.

Xia Ruoan walked over slowly. When she saw the pile of picked vegetables in front of her, she couldn't help feeling angry and amused.

I saw those fresh and juicy vegetables piled up like a small hill, obviously the harvest was good.

At this time, Leng's mother noticed Xia Ruo'an's arrival, and hurriedly walked up to her, holding her back, and said in a low voice: "Ruo'an, this is all what I promised."

"Your father and I are going to buy jewelry tomorrow. We will buy you a nice set then. Please don't be angry."

Xia Ruoan smiled and shook her head, indicating that she was not angry about it, but she still glanced at her mother-in-law with a little concern.

She said softly, "Mom, I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but I'm worried that Zexi will be unhappy when he finds out."

Hearing this, Leng's mother couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart.

After all, she knew her stubborn son quite well. If he knew that she agreed to her grandchildren delivering food to her love rival, that would be a terrible scene.

However, Leng's mother quickly calmed down, patted Xia Ruo'an's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, Ruo'an. If Zexi gets angry, just let him come to me to settle the score. I will bear all the responsibilities."

"Oh, by the way, I suddenly remembered that there seems to be something that needs to be dealt with at home, so I'll go back first." After saying that, Leng's mother turned around and was about to leave.

At this moment, Xia Ruoan hurriedly called her: "Mom, don't leave in a hurry. How about picking some of our newly planted tomatoes and bringing them back to try?"

"These small tomatoes are newly planted. They are ripe today and can be picked." As he spoke, Xia Ruoan pointed to a field of red tomatoes not far away.

"Zexi and Ningning should be back for more than half an hour."

Leng's mother originally wanted to refuse, but when she heard that it would take more than half an hour for the food to be delivered, and that Zexi and Ningning would not be back for a while.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally changed her mind: "Okay, in that case, I'll pick some cherry tomatoes and take them back."

Sui Sui and Nian Nian, who had been picking vegetables in the vegetable garden, suddenly felt a little embarrassed when they saw their mother coming in. They both blushed and slowly crawled out of the vegetable garden.

"I will be responsible for picking the vegetables. How about you accompany grandma to pick those cute little tomatoes?" Xia Ruoan smiled and gently rubbed the two children's heads, saying softly.

Her eyes immediately fell on the vegetables that the children had just picked, and she shook her head helplessly: "You picked the wrong ones. For this kind of vegetables, you have to pick the stems and leaves intact."

"And the most delicious part is actually the tender and crisp stems, not the leaves."

After hearing what their mother said, Sui Sui and Niannian looked at each other, then looked down at the only vegetable leaves in their hands, and suddenly they blushed and smiled embarrassedly.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, go pick the cherry tomatoes quickly, and your dad will cook them for you at noon." Xia Ruoan encouraged with a smile and cast a gentle look at them.

Just then, not long after Leng's mother left, Leng Zexi walked into the house holding his son Ningning's hand.

However, when Xia Ru'an saw the father and son's appearance when they came back, a trace of doubt arose in his heart.

Leng Zexi's face was full of anger, and Ningning, like a child who had made a mistake, timidly glanced at Leng Zexi, appearing to be extremely cautious.

As soon as she entered the house, Ningning threw herself into Xia Ruoan's arms without saying a word and hugged her tightly.

Seeing this, Xia Ruo'an felt even more strange and asked quickly, "What's going on? Didn't you go out to deliver the food?"

As she spoke, she cast a concerned look at Leng Zexi, waiting for his explanation.

"Ask him what good things he has done!" Leng Zexi raised his chin angrily, pointed at Ningning in his arms, and answered unhappily.

Xia Ruo'an looked at Ning Ning with a puzzled look on his face and asked softly, "Haven't you already apologized to your father before? Why did you make him angry again now? Is there any misunderstanding here?"

As she spoke, she looked at Ningning with concern.

At this moment, Ningning, like a shy little rabbit, buried her head tightly in Xia Ruoan's warm embrace, too embarrassed to raise her head to face everyone.

Sui Sui noticed the situation and walked to her father, then handed him the piece of cake that she was about to eat.

Leng Zexi, who was angry, was about to say that he was angry enough.

Suisui blinked her big watery eyes, looked at Leng Zexi seriously and said, "Dad, this cake is Mom's favorite! Grandma specially asked the chef to make it and send it over!"

After listening to his eldest son's words, Leng Zexi took the piece of cake, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully.

Then, he turned to look at Xia Ruo'an and said gently, "So you like this kind of cake. If you have anything else you want to eat in the future, remember to tell me and I will make it for you myself."

Hearing this, Xia Ruo'an couldn't help but smile happily and replied, "Actually, this is just the flavor I liked more in the past."

"My mom and your mom were chatting yesterday and she accidentally mentioned this matter, so today's surprise came about."

Leng Zexi nodded to show that he understood, and then said: "Well, no matter what, as long as it is something you want to eat, just ask for it."

"I like everything you cook." Xia Ruoan looked at him and said. This was true. Leng Zexi's cooking skills were getting better and better.

Leng Zexi glanced at her and finally did not pursue Ningning's fault any further.

"Leng Zining, if you don't want to lose weight, just tell me. I won't blame you, but you shouldn't lie to your parents. If you can't even trust us, who can you trust in the future?" Leng Zexi looked at him and said.

"Okay, Mom and Dad will praise you. If you do something wrong, Mom and Dad will criticize you, but we just hope that you can develop in a good way."

"You have to lie to us, Ningning. You will be very tired."

"If you think mom and dad have done something wrong and you are dissatisfied, just say it, okay?" Leng Zexi looked at Ningning and said.

Xia Ruoan also heard that Ningning was lying.
