He washed his hands thoroughly after washing the dishes before coming in. Besides the bed, there was a table in the room. He sat at the table watching Xiaoting play with her toys. Ye Man didn't intend to pay attention to him, but after glancing at him several times, he remained oblivious. Finally, she couldn't help herself.

"It's already late, and Xiaoting still needs to take a shower later."

There's only one shower room. Even though you don't need to heat water in the summer, it still takes some effort for a child to take a bath, and the adult has nothing to do right now.

He Zhangcheng immediately stood up, slightly at a loss. To avoid arousing his mother's suspicion, he had even packed his bags and brought them over. However, he was not allowed to put his clothes into the wardrobe that the mother and daughter had specially made; he simply put them in a bag next to it.

"...I...I'll go right now."

After saying that, she immediately opened the bag to take out her clothes. The man's clothes were simple. In the summer, he would wear a few uniforms issued by the army and switch them. At night, he would sleep in a white vest. Even though she knew that Ye Man was talking to her daughter and that it was impossible for her to look over, she was still a little nervous when she took out her underwear. She clenched it into a ball and stuffed it into her clothes before taking it out.

Xiaoting snorted after he left. She and her mother were on the same side. Her father was a bad guy and was on the same side as her grandmother. Xiaoting didn't like him at all.

Ye Man reached out and untied her daughter's braids. After a day of braiding, her soft hair had turned into waves. She took a mirror from the dressing table next to her and showed it to her. Xiaoting exclaimed "Eh!" and spun around a few times with a smug look, forgetting all about scolding her father.

"Mommy looks good. I want to look like this tomorrow so I can show it to An'an."

"It will probably be straight by tomorrow morning. Mom will braid your hair before you go to sleep next time you wash it, so it will be wavy like this when you wake up in the morning."

Seeing that she was happy again, Ye Man breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Man was actually in a dilemma. She knew that adult matters had nothing to do with children. She didn't want her to be exposed to these things from a young age. But Xiao Ting was a very sensitive girl. When she realized that her mother was being treated unfairly, she reacted even more strongly than when she herself was being treated.

She had tried to persuade her child not to hold a grudge against the adults, but Xiaoting always got angry because she felt that her mother's words were a betrayal of their alliance.

Gradually, Ye Man stopped insisting that Xiaoting maintain a good relationship with her mother-in-law. Most importantly, Liu He made no attempt to hide her dislike for Xiaoting. Since it was malicious, it was better to confront it directly from a young age.

As for He Zhangcheng, whether Xiaoting likes him or not depends on his own abilities; she doesn't want to act as a mediator.

After taking a shower, He Zhangcheng took a towel and wiped the water droplets off his head. Although his daughter was still young, he still put a thin shirt over his white vest.

An'an received a small accordion for her birthday last time. Xiaoting also has one, which was a gift from her grandmother. The two of them talked about it today and planned to bring it to An'an's house to play together in a few days. However, last time, Xiaoting accidentally dropped the accordion on the ground and broke it.

She pouted and tried several times but couldn't get it right. Ye Man was even less capable of fixing it. "We'll fix it tomorrow. Let's go take a shower first."

Xiaoting sighed and put the broken accordion aside. Yeman prepared their clothes in the wardrobe before taking her hand and leading her outside to take a bath.

Before taking a bath, He Zhangcheng went outside to boil a pot of hot water. After taking a bath, he filled a bucket with water, brought in the boiled water, and poured it in. The water was warm and had been prepared in the shower room.

At first, Ye Man was a little unaccustomed to it, but He Zhangcheng had always done it this way, so she no longer needed to boil water herself before taking a shower.

Even on days when she wasn't feeling well, He Zhangcheng would boil two kettles of water to make it even hotter.

He was the only one left in the room. He first made up his bed for the night, then saw the accordion that Xiaoting had left aside, picked it up and put it on the table, reaching out to pluck it.

The mother and daughter's room was different from his. No matter when, it always had a fragrance. Every time He Zhangcheng came in, he wished he could wash his hands and feet, afraid that his own smell would dirty the place.

After finding the problem, there was no screwdriver in the room. He had a small toolbox in the living room, but before he could find the tool, Liu He, looking exhausted, came out of the room with his arms crossed and frowned as he looked at the shower door.

"What time is it to take a shower now? Making such a racket, how are other people supposed to sleep? I'm so old, why are you making such a fuss? Are you doing this on purpose? Just to get rid of me?"

After finding the screwdriver, He Zhangcheng was about to go back when he heard his mother's words and stopped in his tracks.

"Mom, this is how we were before you came."
