As soon as Li Guixiang saw Xiaoman, she exclaimed, "Wang Xiaoman, how did you raise your child?"

Xiaoman looked at the other people in the courtyard.

Old Shang smiled broadly.

Old Guo looked very unhappy.

There was an unfamiliar old man next to Lao Shang. The old man's expression was a little awkward.

Zuo Zuo and You You ran over and hugged Xiao Man's legs as soon as they saw her.

Zuo Zuo: "Mom, you're back?"

Youyou: "Mom, I miss you."

Xiaoman patted Zuo Zuo and You You's heads: "Mom misses you too."

Li Guixiang: "Wang Xiaoman, how do you raise your child?"

Xiaoman looked at Zuo Zuo and You You: "What are you two doing?"

Zuo Zuo: "We were playing with Yu Yu, and her grandma saw us and scolded us."

Youyou: "Mom, let Yuyu come stay with us. Her grandma is too fierce."

Xiaoman felt that Li Guixiang wouldn't scold the children for no reason: "What were you playing with Yuyu?"

Zuo Zuo: "Let's play house. We two are the husbands, and Yu Yu is the wife."

Xiaoman didn't think it was a big deal: "Auntie, it's just kids playing games, you don't have to take it so seriously."

"I'm being serious? Ask your two good sons how they play house?"

Xiaoman looked left and right.

Zuo Zuo: "We pretended to cook first, then pretended to eat after cooking, and then washed our feet. We were washing our feet when Grandma Yu Yu came in."

Youyou: "Mom, we did nothing wrong."

Xiaoman glanced at Li Guixiang. Meaning: What's wrong with this?

“They…they…” Li Guixiang wanted to say something but was too embarrassed to: “Let them tell us how they washed Yuyu’s feet?”

"Wash Yu Yu's feet?" Xiao Man looked at Zuo Zuo and You You: "You didn't actually wash Yu Yu's feet, did you?"

Zuo Zuo and You You: "Hmm."

Xiaoman was a little confused: "Weren't you pretending to cook and eat? How come you actually washed your feet when you were washing them?"

Zuo Zuo: "We can't cook, so we pretend to cook. The food is fake, so we pretend to eat it."

Youyou: "We will wash your feet."

Xiaoman rubbed her forehead: "Then why don't you wash yourselves?"

Zuo Zuo: "Yu Yu and I are husband and wife. We are the husband and Yu Yu is the wife. The husband should wash the wife's feet."

Xiaoman rubbed her forehead again: "Who told you husbands have to wash their wives' feet?"

Zuo Zuo blinked: "Nobody told us. But my dad often washes your feet."

Okay. Xiaoman looked at Zuozuo and Youyou and said, "Then remember this: only real couples can truly wash each other's feet. Fake couples can only pretend to."

Zuo Zuo and You You: "Okay."

Xiaoman patted Zuo Zuo and You You's heads: "Good boy/girl."

Zuo Zuo: "Mom, does that mean we can't eat Yu Yu's feet or Yu Yu's mouth either?"

Xiaoman finally understood why Li Guixiang was so angry. No need to ask, she must have learned it from Han Bin. Han Bin liked to bite her feet a few times after washing them, and the children had seen it sometime during the day.

After telling Zuo Zuo and You You not to eat Yu Yu's feet or mouth, Xiao Man looked at Li Guixiang and said, "How about we arrange a marriage between them?"

Zuo Zuo: "Mom, what is a childhood betrothal?"

Youyou: "Mom, if we're betrothed, does that mean I can eat Yuyu's feet and mouth?"

Xiaoman had a bit of a headache: "You two, don't talk for now."

Zuo Zuo and You You: "Okay."

Xiaoman looked at Li Guixiang: "What do you think, is this okay?"

Li Guixiang: "You wish! Yuyu, come on, let's go home with Grandma."

Yu Yu's voice came from behind the old man whom Xiao Man didn't recognize: "No, I want to play with Great-Grandpa at Youyou's house."

Xiaoman had been wondering why Yuyu was nowhere to be seen; it turned out she was hiding behind her great-grandfather.

Li Guixiang: "Yuyu, be good, your great-grandfather is going back too."

Yu Yu: "My great-grandfather hasn't finished playing chess yet."

Grandpa Zhang also enjoys playing chess, and within a few days of arriving at the military region, he and Lao Shang became chess friends. Today, Grandpa Zhang told Grandma Zhang that he was going to Xiaoman's house to play chess with Lao Shang, and Yuyu came along after hearing this.

While the adults were playing chess, the three children played nearby. The adults, seeing that the three were playing well, didn't pay them any attention. Later, the three of them went inside. The adults didn't think much of it then.

Li Guixiang came to look for Grandpa Zhang and Yuyu when she noticed they hadn't returned home. Upon entering the house, she saw Zuo Zuo and You You kissing her granddaughter.

Li Guixiang looked behind Old Master Zhang: "Yuyu, come out, your great-grandfather is not playing anymore. Dad, you're not playing anymore, right?"

Grandpa Zhang glanced at Xiaoman, thinking, "So this is the person my grandson likes? My grandson certainly has good taste. What a pity..." Grandpa Zhang sighed inwardly, "Jun Jun's mother, the children are just being childish, don't be angry. Old Shang, I'll go back now, I'll come find you to play chess another day."

Old Shang: "Okay."

Seeing that Yu Yu was about to leave, Youyou tugged at Xiaoman's sleeve, but Xiaoman shook her head.

Zuo Zuo: "Yu Yu, can we come to your house to play?"

Youyou's eyes lit up immediately: "Mom, can I go to Yuyu's house to play?"

Xiaoman glanced at Li Guixiang, who turned her face away and said, "Why don't you invite Yuyu to our house to play instead?"

Zuo Zuo: "Okay."

Youyou was a little disappointed. But, "Mom, will we be able to go to school soon?" They were the same age as Yuyu, and Yuyu would definitely go to school when they did.

Xiaoman thought to herself: Are you going to school or to play with Yuyu? "I have to wait another two years."

"

Youyou thought two years was a long time: "Oh."

Xiaoman rubbed Youyou's head: "Yuyu is leaving, go see her off."

Youyou: "Okay."

Li Guixiang picked Yuyu up from the ground: "No need. Dad, I'm leaving now."

"Um."

After Li Guixiang left, Grandpa Zhang looked at Xiaoman and smiled, "Don't mind her. Junjun's mother isn't a bad person."

"I know. Please sit for a while longer."

"No, I should go back too."

"I'll take you there."

"No need, no need."

After seeing Grandpa Zhang off, Xiaoman quickly washed up and then called Zuozuo and Youyou over to talk about what they could and couldn't do when playing with girls.

When Han Bin came home from get off work and saw Xiao Hei wandering around the yard, he knew Xiao Man had returned: "Xiao Man, Xiao Man, Xiao Man, Xiao..."

Xiaoman came out of the house. "Shut up."

"Hehe... Xiaoman, is everything done?"

"Um."

"Did you get any help from Chen Chuan? I was worried you wouldn't be able to handle it, so I called Chen Chuan."

"eventful."

"I'm worried. Besides, Chen Chuan often comes to our house for meals, so it's good for us to ask him to help out occasionally. Otherwise, he'll feel embarrassed to come to our house for meals."

"I haven't seen him. I came back as soon as I finished my business."

"Oh, I see. Then you were probably already on your way back when I called him. Xiaoman, how did you deal with them?"

"Let's eat first, then we'll talk."

"good."

On the other side, as soon as Zhang Jun entered the house, he saw his mother sitting on the sofa, lost in thought. The house was quiet. "Mom, what are you thinking about sitting there all alone?"

"You're back? I'm thinking that you and Wang Xiaoman aren't really a good match."
