As soon as Xiao Bao stepped out the door, he ran quickly to the Li family next door to show off his new hairstyle and new shoes to Li Tiezhu.
"Look at this, this is called a soccer shoe, you can use it to play soccer, it's very comfortable."
"I'll still shine when I walk, I'll walk and show you."
Xiao Bao walked back and forth in front of Li Tiezhu, staring at the shining soles of his shoes, which made Li Tiezhu's eyes widen in amazement.
He immediately ran home and said to his grandma, "Grandma, Xiaobao's shoes light up, I want light-up sneakers too."
Grandma Li was sewing clothes when she heard this, and her face immediately fell: "You look like a pair of shiny sneakers to me."
Just then, Grandpa Li returned from outside.
Seeing Xiaobao at her home made her quite happy. "Xiaobao has become more and more lively lately. Before, I always saw him going about his business alone."
“His father is back, and no one dares to bully the mother and son anymore. Life is much better now.”
Grandma Li smiled as well.
"In short, these years have finally brought about the sweetness after all the hardships."
"Yes, I was worried that the two children would cause the couple to quarrel and become estranged, but I didn't expect Yan Zhi to manage things so well that there was nothing to criticize."
"Who in our compound is like her? If it were any other woman, they would have fallen out long ago. It's too difficult. Sigh, it's all for Xiao Bao. Otherwise, what woman would be willing to raise someone else's child?"
Grandma Li sighed, feeling sorry for Song Yanzhi.
On the surface, everything seems fine to her, but who can know what she's really feeling inside?
"But Xiao Bao is indeed much more cheerful now. Look at his new clothes and shoes, so stylish. Your grandson is even asking me to buy him some."
Grandpa Li laughed heartily. Just then, the two children came over, and he took out two candies and gave them to them. "Xiao Bao's family has guests today?"
Xiao Bao held the candy, looking at him with a confused expression.
Grandma Li, on the other hand, asked curiously, "A guest has arrived? Who is it?"
"I don't recognize her. She was a woman, dressed very elegantly, and carrying a lot of things. I saw her go straight to Xiaobao's house. I was wondering when Xiaobao's family had such a relative."
As Xiao Bao listened, his expression changed.
He once dreamed of a beautifully dressed woman who came to his door carrying many things.
She and her father seemed to have a good relationship. They chatted enthusiastically about things that the mother couldn't understand, and her mother couldn't get a word in edgewise, so she could only go to the kitchen to cook for them.
I had met this woman before.
Dad promised to pick me up that day, but he didn't. Instead, he turned his back on Pei Jichuan and talked to the woman in his dream.
It's as if they're the real family.
Xiao Bao remembered that scene for a long time.
Xiao Bao has almost forgotten this dream.
Unexpectedly, she appeared again.
It even appeared in its own home.
He immediately took off running back.
Meanwhile, at the Pei family...
Song Yanzhi put down the scissors.
Looking at Zhou Qiao, who was staring at him with a look of utter surprise.
She seemed shocked by her own behavior.
Pei Yuchen glanced at her as well, "Zhou Qiao? What brings you here?"
Zhou Qiao was surprised. Were the two really that close?
In the novel, the two always maintained a respectful relationship, and after having Xiao Bao, they had no more children.
They're not exactly close, they barely talk to each other at all.
She felt at that time that Pei Yuchen must not love Song Yanzhi.
Because he is not as indifferent to the people he loves as depicted.
She believes that if a man truly falls in love with a woman, he will definitely break with convention and only be gentle, possessive, and unique towards the person he likes.
Therefore, when the plot was changed later, she developed it in the direction she wanted.
He was distant and indifferent towards others.
Even Song Yanzhi, the original wife.
In Zhou Qiao's eyes, she was just a background character with little screen time.
There is absolutely nothing about her that makes her worthy of Pei Yuchen.
Let alone having any contact with him.
But now the two were very close, she bent down to fix his hair, and he looked at her.
This subtle atmosphere made Zhou Qiao feel flustered once again.
She almost dropped the gift in her hands.
Hearing Pei Yuchen ask him a question, he snapped out of his daze and said with an awkward smile, "Brother Pei, I've come to talk to you about something."
"Sister-in-law...can I talk to my brother alone?"
She glanced at Song Yanzhi tentatively.
Song Yanzhi asked, "Is there something I can't hear?"
Zhou Qiao's expression froze. "Sister-in-law, what are you saying? I just wanted to talk to Brother Pei about work. You wouldn't even let me do that, would you?"
"Besides, we're talking about professional knowledge, which you wouldn't understand... Of course, if you don't want to, that's fine too."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Pei Yuchen.
I hope he will speak up for me.
Seeing that Pei Yuchen was indeed frowning, he was immediately delighted.
When discussing work-related matters, Pei Yuchen dislikes being disturbed.
Even a wife is not acceptable.
Not to mention, Song Yanzhi didn't treat him any differently.
He wouldn't care what she thought anymore.
Strangely, Song Yanzhi, who was always timid and never asked a question in the novel, is now completely different from the character in the novel.
This made a strange look flash in Zhou Qiao's eyes.
Song Yanzhi smiled when he heard this.
Recalling her previous life, Zhou Qiao had said the same thing, making her feel so inferior that she couldn't lift her head.
I dared not say another word.
She was afraid of embarrassing her husband.
But now, I just find it funny.
"Yes, I don't want to," she said lightly. "Is that not allowed?"
