The couple had made the same decision, and as a grandmother, she naturally didn't have the power to change things.
"I don't know what you're thinking. This kid changes every year. If we don't celebrate this year, we have to make it a proper celebration next year. We can't let our little Rui suffer!" Zhang Cuihua muttered, her tone full of dissatisfaction.
When the information was relayed to Mo Cheng and Jiang Rongmei, they agreed.
So this year's birthday party really did turn into a family dinner.
The two families got together and had a meal at home, but Zhang Cuihua still tried her best to prepare many elaborate dishes to make the table look more appealing.
Although Mo Cheng and Jiang Rongmei had some complaints about Zhang Cuihua, they couldn't find fault with her when it came to her love for the child.
So, the meal went very peacefully.
Liu Shengrui, who has just turned two years old, is no different from before. He still spends most of his time at home with his grandmother, Zhang Cuihua.
Zhang Cuihua has to do a lot of housework every day, and she is so busy with trivial matters that she has little time to even look after her eldest grandson.
Fortunately, Liu Shengrui can now play by himself.
Now that he's bought two new Superman toys that he loves most, he's calmed down a lot and spends all his time playing with his new toys.
Even the most fun toys lose their novelty and interest after a while.
Liu Shengrui is full of energy and wants to go out and play.
"Grandma!" Liu Shengrui tugged at Zhang Cuihua, who had just finished her work, and pointed his little finger towards the door and the window, meaning he wanted to go out and play. "Grandma! Grandma!"
Zhang Cuihua sat on the sofa and massaged her back.
Although she takes health-boosting pills every day and is in excellent physical condition, she still gets tired when she's working.
"Want to go out and play?" Zhang Cuihua asked.
"Mmm!" Liu Shengrui nodded, gripping his grandmother's hand even tighter, trying to pull her outside, his eyes also fixed eagerly on the outside.
"Get out! Get out!"
"Okay, Grandma will change your clothes first, and then we'll go out to play," Zhang Cuihua said.
This wasn't the first time; almost every day, Liu Shengrui would insist on going out to play.
Zhang Cuihua thought to herself that her eldest grandson must have grown up and had more energy than when he was a child, which was normal, since a teenager is a very troublesome age.
Her energetic appearance indicates that her son, Xiao Rui, is in good health, which is much better than those who are listless and look sickly.
Every time Zhang Cuihua finished her housework, Liu Shengrui would drag her outside.
A few days ago, as usual, when Liu Shengrui went out, he was disliked by the other military wives and children. They wouldn't let their children play with him and all avoided him.
Liu Shengrui was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do.
He vaguely heard other children chatting.
"Mom said we can't play with the Liu family, they're violent and will hit us!"
“I saw it too. He pinched Xiao Yuan’s face so badly that it turned purple. My mom said it would take many days to heal. It hurt so much that Xiao Yuan cried!”
"I don't want to play with the kid who hits me!"
"Let's run! Don't let him follow us!"
Zhang Cuihua had tried to scold people in this situation before, but did her tantrums and outbursts work?
They simply don't allow their own children to play with Liu Shengrui, so why would she force others to play with him?
But Liu Shengrui wasn't really stupid. He overheard the children's discussion, realized why they didn't want to play with him, and then came up with a solution.
Just like at home, when he bullies Xiaomi, he never does it in front of his parents and grandma...
For several days in a row, Liu Shengrui acted very normally, without throwing tantrums, and began looking for new friends.
His favorite was, of course, Lu Si'an from the Lu family, but unfortunately, she wouldn't play with him, and he had also made an enemy of Lu Siyuan. As Lu Siyuan's sister, he had no way to get close to Lu Si'an and had to give up.
That kid is quite nice.
"Grandma, what's his name?" Liu Shengrui asked, pointing to a little boy.
Zhang Cuihua looked over and found that he was a very cute little boy with a gentle personality. He always smiled and mingled with the other children, and his smile made him even cuter.
"That...it seems to be a boy from the Tian family, his name is...something Tian Feixiang, yes, that's Tian Feixiang," Zhang Cuihua said, then asked, "So, does our Xiao Rui want to be friends with that Tian Feixiang? Is that right?"
Zhang Cuihua had always been dissatisfied with these military wives, feeling that they were brainless and, after being instigated by that heartless Su Yueya, actually wouldn't let their own children play with Xiao Rui.
This will definitely affect Liu Shengrui's mental health.
But she was helpless and could only worry and get angry by herself.
However, the crux of the problem is that everyone believed Su Yueya's nonsense and thought that the eldest grandson was truly extraordinary, which is why they were so wary of him.
So, if everyone discovers that Liu Shengrui wasn't being wary, but rather that Su Yueya was framing him, then the problem of not playing together will be easily solved?
"Xiao Rui, do you want to play with them?" Zhang Cuihua asked again.
"Mm." Liu Shengrui nodded.
Since Lu Si'an always ignores him, then so be it. He'll just give up and find a new playmate!
Liu Shengrui thought that Tian Feixiang was quite good.
She's cute and has a gentle personality, which is exactly what he likes.
"Xiao Rui, Grandma will teach you." Zhang Cuihua's eyes darted around, and she was thinking hard again.
Liu Shengrui leaned close to his grandmother, blinking his big eyes, looking like he was humbly seeking advice.
Grandma said she had a solution, so he listened to her!
"From now on, whenever you see Tian Feixiang in the yard, go over and greet him confidently. If you greet him a few times, he'll remember you, won't he?"
"Let him remember you first, then meet him a few more times, once, twice, three or four times, and you'll naturally become familiar with him and become friends, understand?"
Zhang Cuihua didn't teach anything wrong. It's perfectly normal to want to make friends, take the initiative to greet people, and show goodwill.
Especially for someone like Liu Shengrui, who already has a bad reputation, it's even more important to take the initiative to change his image.
"Okay." Liu Shengrui nodded, seemingly understanding, but he remembered.
Although he didn't understand the point of doing this, his grandmother said that doing so would make Tian Feixiang his friend, so he decided to give it a try.
So Liu Shengrui tried to take the initiative to greet Tian Feixiang.
"Grandma, I'll go say hello," Liu Shengrui said, looking in the direction of Tian Feixiang, who was playing with other children.
“Okay, go ahead, our Xiao Rui is the bravest and the best!” Zhang Cuihua encouraged, watching her eldest grandson approach the group of children.
Normally, as soon as Liu Shengrui appeared, the other children would scatter like birds.
