After everyone had almost finished eating, Lan Zhiyu asked Ruan Ruan about his idea of ​​having Mingxuan stay, "Girl, this afternoon, Uncle and Old Fu discussed it and wanted Mingxuan to stay here to study. What do you think?"

Actually, the reasons for keeping Mingxuan here were twofold: firstly, the quality of education at the school, and secondly, Mingxuan himself has become a better person here. However, his staying here raises the issue of food and accommodation. Originally, Lan Chaolin, as Mingxuan's uncle, should be taking care of him, but he is simply too busy with work, and the school is too far from the city. If he were to pick him up and drop him off every day, it would not only waste time, but he would also be late for work. In the long run, it would be counterproductive.

"Sure, Uncle, you can leave Mingxuan here without worry. When school starts, all the children in our neighborhood who are in elementary school will go to school, and Mingxuan can go to and from school with them. I'm not exaggerating, Uncle, but looking at the teaching staff of Hope Elementary School, no school in the whole country can compare to it."

Currently, our charity is also sponsoring many children from other communes, and they will come to register when school starts. So it's perfectly fine to let Mingxuan study here. Besides, we're close by, so he can come back for lunch and a nap after school before going to class. It's very convenient."

Ruan Ruan was just worried about not having a chance to repay them, and now that they had delivered the opportunity to her own hands, how could she refuse? Besides, after learning about the Lan family's situation, Ruan Ruan also felt that it was better for Ming Xuan to stay with her for the time being. The Lan family had already retreated to their hometown, and only Lan Chaolin had managed to get to where he was today through his own abilities. Even then, there were still people who were unwilling to give up and wanted to harm them. Even if they dealt with that person, there was no guarantee that a second or third person wouldn't appear. They could save Ming Xuan once, but they couldn't guarantee that they could save him a second or third time.

Seeing that Ruan Ruan also said so, and that she didn't seem reluctant at all, Lan Zhiyu immediately made the decision to let Xiao Mingxuan stay.

"Mingxuan, is it okay if you stay at your aunt's house and go to school with Xiaoxing and the others?" Although they had already discussed it, they still needed to ask Mingxuan, the person in charge, what he thought. Ruanruan looked at Mingxuan and asked him gently.

"Are Great-Grandpa and Grandpa staying too?" Mingxuan understood the adults' conversation, but now that his aunt was asking him, he still wanted to ask. He hadn't seen his Great-Grandpa, Dad, and Aunt for a long time, and he really missed them.

"Mingxuan, your great-grandfather and grandfather are going back tomorrow, but don't worry, your uncle will stay here with you. You'll see him this weekend. Your great-grandfather and great-grandmother will also come to visit you in a few days, so don't be afraid, Mingxuan."

Upon hearing Xiao Mingxuan's question, Lan Zhiyu quickly explained that he was afraid that if he spoke too late, Xiao Mingxuan would think that they, like his mother, had abandoned him and left him with his aunt, and that would be the end of it.

Hearing that they would come to see him again lessened Mingxuan's sadness a little, but he was still a bit heartbroken.

Looking at his young, heartbroken grandson, Lan Haofan thought that if he really didn't want to, he should go back with them.

Ruan Ruan felt the same way. She had finally managed to raise Xiao Mingxuan to a little weight, and seeing him so sad now made her feel terrible too.

“Uncle, how about this? You said that Chaoyang and Chaoxi are both at home. Perfect timing, the factory is hiring, let them come and work. There are also ready-made houses in the family compound, which will make it convenient for them to take care of the children.”

Ruan Ruan felt that the current situation of the Lan family was not suitable for all of them to come over, but as long as Lan Zhiyu, Lan Haofan and the others were still in their hometown, it was still feasible for the younger children to come out and work.

Lan Zhiyu and Lan Haofan were taken aback when they heard Ruan Ruan's words. But when they saw that no one else objected, they thought about it again and realized that the plan was feasible.

"Will their arrival have any impact on you?"

It's not that they didn't want to agree immediately, but they were looking out for you in every way, and you couldn't let them down. Besides, everyone present was a relative, and if the Lan family ever had the chance to return to the capital, they would need their help.

"No, Uncle, cousin, you can rest assured." In Yuncheng now, it can be said that Ruan Ruan still has a lot of say.

“Uncle, don’t worry, we’re here. There won’t be any problems with Chaoyang and Chaoxi coming over.” Commander Gu knew what Ruan Ruan was thinking. He had thought about this issue before, but he felt the timing wasn’t right, so he didn’t bring it up. Now that the old man himself suggested that Xiao Mingxuan stay, it was reasonable for the child’s father to come and take care of him.

Now, Commander Gu represents the military, Lan Chaolin represents the government, and Ruan Ruan represents herself. Since they all think it's acceptable, Lan Zhiyu also thinks it's acceptable.

"Alright, I'll have them come over when I get back. If they have any questions, I'll need your help reminding them."

They were just being polite. Lan Chaoyang was a proper college student; he didn't need them to remind him. However, given Zheng Xuyang and Huo Haoshen's positions in the factory, and with the old man saying so, they could only agree.

"Uncle, you're overthinking it. When Brother Chaoyang and the others come over, we'll definitely learn and improve together. Don't worry, with us here, no one can make things difficult for them," Huo Haoshen said, patting his chest.

Ruan Ruan gave up her place, so as her family, they must protect her rights.

After hearing Huo Haoshen's words, the old man looked at Lan Chaolin, then at Fu Yuanbo sitting next to him. Seeing that they both nodded at him, he felt relieved.
