"She's really grown up!" Shen Qiaoyue recalled the first time she met Lu He and exclaimed, "When I first met Lu He, she was very timid and had to watch my expression before doing anything. Now she's a girl who wants to date!"

Hearing Shen Qiaoyue's seemingly casual remark, Li Xiaoxiao couldn't help but tease her, "It seems you're just as reluctant to part with Lu He as Lu Chen!"

"Of course! She's my sister, someone I cherish like my own sister. How could I bear to let her get married!" Shen Qiaoyue saw that Lu He had escaped her fate from the previous life, and there was nothing wrong with her marrying Xu Feiming. At least Xu Feiming wasn't a scumbag like Yang Qingshan.

Li Xiaoxiao said, "Your second uncle said before that Lu He and Xu Feiming are destined to be together, and it seems that this time it will come true!"

"Auntie, you noticed too?" Shen Qiaoyue asked Li Xiaoxiao in surprise.

With a loving smile, Li Xiaoxiao nodded to Shen Qiaoyue and explained, "I saw them pass by when I was buying vegetables at the supply and marketing cooperative. They looked like they were dating."

“Xiao He said she hasn’t agreed yet,” Shen Qiaoyue corrected.

"I think we'll have results today!" Li Xiaoxiao's analysis was spot on.

Shen Qiaoyue shook Li Xiaoxiao's hand and said coquettishly, "Auntie, you were a big shot when you were young. You must be much better at observation than me. Of course I believe you!"

"Stop being so glib!" Li Xiaoxiao said helplessly to Shen Qiaoyue, poking Shen Qiaoyue's forehead with her index finger.

Shen Qiaoyue took out her living expenses from her pocket and handed them to Li Xiaoxiao, saying, "Auntie, this is my living expenses for this month."

"No need, your second uncle sent me money, and Xinlan also gave me living expenses, so you don't need to give me anything." Li Xiaoxiao has her own savings and can make a living. She has injuries from back then and just retired last year. She has a monthly pension of twenty yuan.

"How can I not take it? Auntie, you don't ask me for money usually, but you help me look after my two children and take care of Xiangxiang. You definitely deserve these living expenses." When Shen Qiaoyue saw that Li Xiaoxiao was not taking it, she said very seriously, "Auntie, if you took Xinlan's, you must take mine too. I have two children, and my living expenses must be twice as much as Xinlan's."

"I'll take it, but I'll be sad if you're too calculating!" Li Xiaoxiao took out fifteen yuan from Shen Qiaoyue's money, and returned the rest to Shen Qiaoyue, saying, "I took seven yuan from Xinlan, so I'll take fifteen yuan from you, okay?"

Li Xiaoxiao is willing to take care of Lu Chen's child because she feels sorry for her deceased sister. She is Lu Chen's godmother, and Lu Chen's mother was someone she had a life-or-death friendship with. Now, she is willing to take care of her sister's and comrade's child.

Besides, at her age, she enjoys lively and bustling activities, which is quite nice.

"Alright!" Shen Qiaoyue looked at the thirty yuan she had brought, but only took fifteen yuan. She still felt indebted to her aunt.

“You are Old Shen’s own niece, and I’ve treated you like my own daughter since you were little. We’re family. I don’t lack this little bit of money, and I don’t care about these things, so why are you complaining?” Li Xiaoxiao could see that Shen Qiaoyue’s mood was off, so she gently patted Shen Qiaoyue’s shoulder and said, “I treat you the same as I treat Xinlan, so don’t worry.”

"Grandma, pee!" Xiangxiang was playing with Danian when she suddenly needed to go to the toilet, so she came over and pulled Li Xiaoxiao to say it.

I think I'm closest to my grandma; I've been with her since birth.

"Okay, Grandma will carry you to the bathroom." Li Xiaoxiao bent down, picked up Xiangxiang, and headed to the toilet.

"Grandma, I want to go too." Xiao Nian watched her younger sister go to the toilet and wanted to follow her.

"I'll go too." Da Nian saw that several people had gone, and he wanted to go as well.

Seeing this, Shen Qiaoyue grabbed Da Nian by the back of his neck and collar to stop him from following.

Da Nian took a few steps and found himself standing still.

She looked up at her mother with a mournful expression.

"Mom, pee?" Danian said to Shen Qiaoyue, "I can't hold it in anymore."

"Hold on, wait until the younger girls are done before you go in." Shen Qiaoyue wanted to instill in the children the habit of distinguishing between boys and girls.

"Mom, am I outside?" Da Nian asked, pointing to one side.

"No, you can't pee anywhere. You have to use the toilet in the bathroom, understand?" Shen Qiaoyue said to Danian very seriously.

Da Nian said "Oh," looked at the bathroom, and waited for his sisters to come out.

"Da Nian, Mom wants to tell you that from now on, you can't watch when your two younger sisters take off their clothes or go to the toilet," Shen Qiaoyue instructed Da Nian.

Da Nian was filled with questions.

His sister watched him take off his clothes. Why couldn't he watch his sisters take off their clothes?

"Mom, I don't understand," Danian asked his mother, puzzled.

“That’s right, when your sisters go to the toilet, you have to close your eyes. When your sisters take a bath and take off their clothes, you can’t look, you have to close your eyes. If your sisters are bullied, you have to help them,” Shen Qiaoyue added.

Although Da Nian didn't understand why his mother said that, he nodded seriously: "Da Nian baby understands."

"Big baby is so good." Shen Qiaoyue praised Da Nian, patting his head.

He will happily show off his tiger teeth with a smile during the Lunar New Year.

"Brother, I'm done, you can go now," Xiao Nian said to her brother as she came out of the restroom.

She held Xiangxiang's hand and slowly walked over.

Seeing this, Da Nian went to the toilet.

“Come here, let me help you,” Li Xiaoxiao said to Da Nian.

“Auntie, let Danian do it himself, okay? He needs to learn to be independent eventually. Just be careful when he goes to the toilet,” Shen Qiaoyue said to Li Xiaoxiao.

Li Xiaoxiao said, "The child is still young, he probably can't manage on his own."

"It's alright, they'll have to learn to use the toilet by themselves eventually, and so will Xiao Nian." Shen Qiaoyue now wants to slowly cultivate her children's independent character.

She couldn't let her two children suffer the same fate she experienced in her past life. In this life, she would protect and educate them well.

This is her child with Lu Chen.

Just thinking that he is Lu Chen's child makes me very happy and blessed. Being with the person I love and having a child makes me very happy and gives me a great sense of happiness.

“You! You’re just like Xinlan.” Li Xiaoxiao thought to herself that the two children were still so young, but she didn’t react. Young people raise children differently than older people. Her ideas were already from the older generation, so she definitely needed to learn and improve, and see how young people raise their children.

Danian understood what his mother said and said, "I know, I can go to the toilet by myself."

His father, Lu Chen, had already taught him how to use the toilet.

Shen Qiaoyue smiled with relief upon hearing the child's words.

Looking up at the sky, it was blue, and her life, like the sky, was clear and bright.

"Qiaoyue, has your aunt discovered a problem?" Li Xiaoxiao asked, staring at Shen Qiaoyue.
