"What a clever little devil! He even came up with this idea!"
Seeing Liu Shengrui's transformation firsthand, Mo Cheng and Jiang Rongmei were very satisfied and both agreed that hiring Mao Dongjian to tutor their grandson was the right decision.
This family dinner was particularly harmonious and enjoyable.
When Mo Cheng and Jiang Rongmei saw Liu Shengrui go to wash his hands by himself, and no longer be engrossed in playing with toys as before, and know to take the initiative to greet and talk to the elders, they felt that he had changed a lot.
For children of this age, eating can be quite a hassle; they often need their parents to hold the bowl and chase after them to feed them.
Liu Shengrui used to be like that, and most children are like that too.
However, under Mao Dongjian's repeated guidance, Liu Shengrui is no longer the same Liu Shengrui as before. He can now sit at the table on his own and eat the food that the adults put in his bowl.
"Grandma, chicken." Liu Shengrui pointed to the chicken on the plate.
Zhang Cuihua immediately put several pieces on his plate.
Liu Shengrui scooped up rice and chicken with a spoon and ate it himself, chewing it with his little mouth, which was very easy.
His performance prompted everyone at the table to praise him.
“Xiao Rui has become much more sensible lately. He doesn’t make us worry about eating at all now. He just knows to eat obediently!” Zhang Cuihua said. She already doted on her child, and now Liu Shengrui makes her love him even more.
“Yes, Dad, Mom, Xiao Rui has become much better behaved. He will definitely make a lot of friends in the future!” Mo Youyou quickly spoke up for her son.
Mo Cheng and Jiang Rongmei's faces showed satisfaction; they had both witnessed the changes in their eldest grandson.
Liu Shengrui now definitely has a lovable appearance.
"Compared to the last dinner, this child has indeed made a lot of progress! He truly deserves to be my grandson, Mo Cheng. He should be this well-behaved, sensible, and capable!" Mo Cheng said with satisfaction.
Liu Shengrui ate his meal while pondering the matter.
He understood; everyone was praising him!
The reason he was praised today is because he developed the habit of "pretending" in order to appease Teacher Mao.
So that's what it meant to pretend to be well-behaved!
As long as he acts well-behaved, everyone will like him, and he can even make new friends!
So, from now on, he has to act all well-behaved whenever there are other people around, but when he's all alone... well, we'll see!
Liu Shengrui's eyes darted around, and when everyone looked at him, he put on a well-behaved and harmless expression.
Meanwhile, the Qiao family's peaceful and happy life continued.
Qiao Shouyan and Meng Yingxin were newlyweds, and Meng Yingxin had recently won a first-class merit, making her famous in the army. The couple's relationship became even more harmonious.
"Are my older brother and sister-in-law not having dinner at home again tonight?"
During the meal, Qiao Gaoyang noticed that the two were not there and let out another wail.
"This is outrageous! These two are going out on dates all the time. I think my brother's heart has wandered off. Is he still the honest and old-fashioned brother I knew?!" Qiao Gaoyang shouted.
"Get out of here! What do you mean by 'acting wildly'? Your eldest brother went out on a date with your sister-in-law, which is perfectly reasonable and legal. What do you, a bachelor still under investigation, know?" Liu Yuying scolded, determined to protect the reputation of her eldest son and daughter-in-law.
Qiao Gaoyang: "..."
bachelor?
Not really. Leng Yingying has agreed to evaluate him, so whether he can rise to the top is just a matter of a word.
But it was precisely that one sentence that caused him to stall and come to a standstill.
Therefore, he really didn't have the confidence to refute his mother's words.
When will he finally be officially hired?
Once he's officially promoted, he'll have to make full and thorough retribution for all the "injustices" he's suffered!
However, in this family, Qiao Xinruo is currently the only single person, and Su Yueya is waiting for Lu Zhengjun to return. It seems wrong for him to "take revenge" on anyone, and he can't take revenge on his married older brother.
This is really worrying!
"Sigh..." Qiao Gaoyang sighed repeatedly.
"You little rascal, always sighing like that, don't sigh away all your good fortune!" Qiao Hanxue admonished.
Qiao Shouyan and Meng Yingxin's relationship is indeed good. Not only can their family see it, but their teammates in the army, their colleagues in the weapons research group, and their neighbors in the family compound all know that they have a good relationship.
When they returned from their date, the two bumped into the military wife in the courtyard.
"He just got back from a date!" These women were indeed a bit nosy, but they meant no harm.
"Okay, let's go to the newly opened restaurant for a meal," Qiao Shouyan said.
He was usually taciturn, and he didn't talk much when facing these sisters-in-law, but he was afraid that Meng Yingxin would feel shy or embarrassed, so whenever this happened, he would take the initiative to stand up.
In fact, Meng Yingxin didn't need him to protect her like this at all. After all, she had already married into the Qiao family and would need to deal with these military wives frequently in the future.
“The food at that new restaurant is pretty good. If you have time, you and your brother-in-law can try it out. Besides taking care of the kids, you need some time together sometimes!” Meng Yingxin took the initiative to start a conversation.
Mentioning children is a big deal!
"Speaking of children, Yingxin, you two have been married for a while now, and you..." The military wife's gaze shifted downwards, landing on Meng Yingxin's belly, "...shouldn't there be some news by now?"
"Huh?" Meng Yingxin was taken aback, not expecting the topic to change so quickly. She touched her stomach, which was being stared at, a little embarrassed, and laughed, "Not yet, not yet."
In this large compound, everyone is just talking about this family and that family; that's about all they can keep an eye on.
Qiao Shouyan and Meng Yingxin have just gotten married, and the issue that is most likely to attract their attention is their child!
If this goes on for too long and Meng Yingxin's belly doesn't show any signs of pregnancy, who knows when gossip will start circulating...
But neither of them had considered this issue before. In addition, Qiao Hanxue and Liu Yuying did not have a hobby of urging others to have children, and they already had two little darlings, Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an, so this was the first time they had faced this problem head-on.
Meng Yingxin herself was puzzled.
To be honest, her sex life with Qiao Shouyan was very harmonious, even a little unrestrained, and they hadn't used any contraception, so why wasn't she pregnant...?
Could it be that she, or Qiao Shouyan, is the one with the problem?
There are three doctors in the family, each one incredibly skilled. If there really is a problem, can they cure it?
"What are you thinking about?" Qiao Shouyan noticed that Meng Yingxin had been keeping her head down ever since she parted ways with the military wife.
"Oh, it's nothing." Meng Yingxin shook her head, not telling him her guess.
A few more days passed.
In the morning, before going to work, the whole family sat together to eat breakfast.
