After the matter was settled, Huo Haoshen filled their glasses with wine. At this time, the roast chicken was ready, and when Gu Jingming helped to take it out, the old man started to think about it just by smelling it.
"This roast chicken smells so good!"
"Great-Grandpa, what do you think? I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Knowing that his father and aunt would be coming to stay with him soon, Xiao Mingxuan was in a good mood. Not only could he stay with his aunt and go to school with Xiao Xingxing and the others, but he could also see his father and aunt all the time. He wouldn't have to go home and face the people who would beat and scold him, forbid him from telling his great-grandparents, his grandparents, and those who kept saying that they didn't really like him and were only nice to him because he was a boy. They would kick him out if he grew up and became useless.
So, Xiaomingxuan didn't want to go back at all. He was very happy here every day. The people here were very kind to him. His third aunt would cook all kinds of delicious food for him every day, and his aunt would tell him nice stories. It was nothing like his mother. When he went to sleep at night, he often thought that he wished his aunt was his mother.
Seeing the little guy smiling happily again, the old man was willing to play along. "Yes, we have to thank Mingxuan. It's thanks to him that Great-Grandpa was able to eat such delicious roast chicken and roast fish. Here, this chicken leg is a reward for Mingxuan. Mingxuan, you must study hard in the future!"
The old man couldn't help but feel sad at the thought of parting again soon, but he was too old to cry like a young girl.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, it was getting late. Lan Zhiyu told Lan Chaolin and Fu Yuanbo that the musical instruments would arrive tomorrow and asked them to pick them up and make arrangements. He also mentioned that they would return to Sichuan Province early the next morning and that Chaoyang and Chaoxi would come over as soon as they were ready.
"Xiao Mingxuan, your great-grandfather and grandfather will be going home tomorrow. You can stay at your aunt's house for a few more days until your father and aunt come over, then you can stay with them, okay?"
Having learned from the previous experience, Lan Zhiyu now knows that when making decisions, they should ask the parties involved for their opinions.
"Okay, then Great-Grandpa, Grandpa, you should tell Dad and Auntie to come over soon. And Great-Grandpa, you said you and Great-Grandma would come to see me, so come early too!"
Knowing that he would be able to see his father in a few days, Xiao Mingxuan naturally accepted that his great-grandfather and grandfather were leaving.
Seeing Xiao Mingxuan's delighted expression, Lan Zhiyu suspected that Xiao Mingxuan wanted them to leave quickly.
However, seeing that he wasn't upset, they were relieved. Lan Chaolin was still in charge of driving. They would go back to Lan Chaolin's place to sleep tonight and buy tickets to go back tomorrow morning. Fortunately, Yuncheng is not far from Sichuan Province, and it only takes a day by train.
After they left, Zheng Xuyang and his group took a walk around the campus, escorted Principal Fu back to the school, and then went to the staff quarters, treating it as a stroll.
After they all left, Teacher Shen and Gu Jingming helped clean up and wash the dishes. Ruan Ruan and Commander Gu sat in the yard, chatting idly.
