Hearing the praise from Gu's mother, Panpan smiled. Although he didn't understand every story in this illustrated book, he liked reading it.

"This child can really calm down." Mother Gu thinks Panpan is good in every way and has no problems at all. This is a filter that belongs only to her grandmother.

Song Zhi looked at Panpan and said, "He's just feeling fresh right now."

Who would have thought that Panpan didn't move the entire afternoon and just sat on the blanket reading a book.

Until Gu's father came back and walked into the living room and saw him reading seriously, I thought he understood everything and for a moment I couldn't tell how old he was.

When Panpan saw someone coming over, he thought his mother was feeding him water, but when he saw it was his grandfather, he lowered his head again.

Father Gu was about to talk to him, but seeing how focused he was, he felt embarrassed to disturb him, making him seem like a very busy man.

"This child is very focused." Father Gu said to Mother Gu beside him for some small talk.

"He was concentrating. He didn't say a word to us the whole afternoon except for drinking water." If I had known earlier... I should have known what book to buy him. I might as well have bought it when I left so that he could play with her for a while.

"You didn't rest for the whole afternoon?" Father Gu was a little confused. Panpan had the habit of taking a lunch break.

"He just sat down with a book after coming back, without even eating. He has several books, and I don't know when he finished them." Mother Gu looked at Panpan with some worry.

I am worried about my child's love of reading. Seeing Zhizhi preparing dinner leisurely, I feel even more worried.

"Zhizhi and the other two will go back tomorrow." Father Gu asked.

"Tomorrow, I want them to stay home for a few more days. They finally come back."

"The child has been home for several days now. I won't worry about Xiaojin if I go back early. They are a couple, so of course they want to be together."

"You're the only one who can say that." Mother Gu rolled her eyes at him when she heard his words as if he was trying to be a peacemaker.

Soon the food was on the table. Song Zhi asked Panpan to wash his hands and eat, but Panpan didn't move as if he didn't hear him.

"Panpan, it's time to eat." Gu's mother also called out.

Song Zhi held his breath and dragged him to the faucet.

"Don't worry about it, go eat." Mother Gu wanted to go over, and Father Gu immediately said.

Mother Gu withdrew her gaze and walked to the dining table and sat down.

"Mom and grandma are calling you, didn't you hear it?" Song Zhi asked Panpan with his head down.

Panpan heard it, but he wanted to read, so he nodded and shook his head.

"No matter what happens to you, you must eat on time. If you don't eat, you won't have anything to eat when you're hungry." Song Zhi told her.

Panpan listened to his mother's words seriously, but Song Zhi knew that he didn't hear her in his heart.

Then he slowly spoke and gave the next dose of strong medicine, "If you can't eat, you will feel uncomfortable. If you feel uncomfortable, Panpan will have to take bitter medicine."

"No...no." Panpan frowned and covered his mouth with his little hands, meaning that he didn't want to drink the bitter medicine.

"Then Panpan, you must be obedient and eat on time when you are called."

Panpan nodded and emphasized to her mother: "No."

"You don't need to take medicine if you eat on time." Song Zhi washed his hands and took him to the living room to eat.

When Mother Gu saw them come in, she glanced at Panpan carefully. Seeing that he had no signs of tears, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is steamed egg for Panpan. I'll feed him." Mother Gu carried Panpan to the seat next to her and fed him. Panpan ate with big mouthfuls and looked very hungry. Mother Gu was happy to see her and said, "This child has a good appetite today."

Song Zhi glanced at him. It was not that he had a good appetite, but that he was afraid of taking medicine.

After dinner, Song Zhixian called Gu Huai to tell him the approximate time he would be back.

"Okay, I'll pick you up." Gu Huaijin raised the corners of his mouth when he heard his wife say that she would be back soon. They had not been at home for the past few days, and he always felt that something was missing, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"Is Mom asleep?"

"I'm asleep. I was still wondering when you would come back today." He didn't say it, but he was thinking about it several times a day.

After hearing Gu's mother talk about Su Yitang in the afternoon, Song Zhi happened to be on the phone and remembered it, so he asked one more question, "I heard from Mom that Ji Yanting and Su Yitang are getting married."

There was a brief silence on the other side, and Song Zhi was not sure what he was thinking.

"Very good." Song Zhi waited for a long time before Gu Huaijin said these three words calmly.

"Did you know that Su Yitong was fired?" Song Zhi asked tentatively.

"I know." He also had a hand in this, but he would never tell this to Song Zhi. He only spoke the truth.

"Don't you have anything to say?" Song Zhi was waiting for him to confess.

"Perhaps this is the best choice for her now." Gu Huaijin was silent for a moment, and finally spoke.

Song Zhi just had some doubts in his heart, but since he said so, he didn't delve into it any further. Some things should be understood half-heartedly, and not everything should be known clearly.

"I went to the bookstore today and bought some illustrated books for Panpan. He actually spent an entire afternoon reading. I don't know what he was reading." Song Zhi changed the subject.

When Gu Huaijin heard her words, he could imagine Panpan's behavior today and laughed out loud, "I'll read it to him when I get back."

"You are such a good father." Song Zhizhen couldn't understand the father and son, who were sometimes affectionate and sometimes quarreling.

"You're a good mother too." Gu Huaijin made a muffled sound from his chest. Song Zhi realized that he was playing tricks on him, snorted in annoyance, and hung up the phone.

Back in the bedroom, Song Zhi brushed Panpan's teeth first. Panpan hated his mother sweeping his mouth with a small stick. When he saw his mother covering her mouth with a toothbrush, Song Zhi was so angry that he laughed. What was she doing? Did she think she would hurt him?

"Open your mouth." Song Zhi squatted down and looked at him, commanding in a serious tone.

Panpan's little head shook even more violently, and he covered his mouth and shook his head.

"Panpan won't be able to eat candy if you don't brush your teeth." Song Zhi threatened him.

Panpan tried to act cute and pretend to be pitiful, hoping to make Song Zhi soften his heart. Song Zhi would not tolerate his bad habits. If it were Song's mother, she might have compromised long ago.

Panpan is very good at reading people's expressions. Seeing his mother insisting on making him brush his teeth, he finally gave in and opened his mouth resignedly.

Song Zhi is very reasonable in most cases, and will only threaten Panpan when he makes serious mistakes. However, a baby cannot understand what she is saying most of the time, so she can only threaten him.

First, he washed Panpan and tucked him into bed, then Song Zhi began to wash quickly.

Today she simply took a hot shower, without even washing her hair, and lay down on the bed.

When Panpan saw his mother lying on the bed, he quietly opened his eyes which had been squinting, but his mother ignored him, so he had to make some noise to attract his mother's attention. Song Zhi pretended not to see it and pretended to close his eyes and fell asleep.
