The next day, Qi Xili really went to keep an eye on Wei Liang, while Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan went to Ji Kangyong's house with two backpacks.
Qin Yiren had gleaned some meaning from Ji Kangyong's words, so she wasn't surprised at all by the food.
He even smiled and said, "Thank you so much for your help!"
"It's no trouble at all, just running errands." Bi Qiaoan smiled and shook her head.
Then, looking at the little baby on the bed, he said, "So cute! He's inherited the best features of both you and Lao Ji."
"No, they're just average. Unlike your An'an and Nuan'nuan, who are already in junior high at such a young age. You don't know, it's the talk of the town. Every family wants a smart and clever little one!"
"Well, we're forced by circumstances. If possible, I'd like them to enjoy their childhood a few more years. Burying them in the sea of books so early is just too much suffering."
"That's true, but if we just hold on for two more years, we'll be free. I really hope that by then, the climate will be back to normal. My baby will be all grown up and won't have to suffer anymore."
"Yes, it will. It definitely will."
After listening to the two men's flattery and encouragement, Shen Yanming said, "See if there's anything you're missing, I'll bring it to you next time I come over."
Qin Yiren looked at the rice, milk powder and other supplies that the other person had brought and said with a smile, "We don't need anything. If you need anything, I'll have my husband come to you."
"Okay." Shen Yanming nodded and went to the next room.
Zhang Heping was at work; Li Wanwan was the only one in the room.
She usually gets quite bored taking care of the kids, so she either chats with Qin Yiren or goes to her sister-in-law's house. Today, she was feeling lazy and slept in late.
Mr. and Mrs. Li have already gone back home and are usually taking care of their eldest grandson. Their granddaughter, after all, is still a distant relative. But Li Wanwan doesn't mind; she actually quite likes being alone and enjoys her freedom.
Li Wanwan heard the noise from next door while she was still in bed, but she was afraid that the couple didn't plan to come in and that it would be awkward if she went out and bumped into them, so she didn't rush and stayed in the room after getting up.
Hearing the knock, she hurried to open the door. She greeted Shen Yanming with a smile, "Brother Shen is here, please come in."
Shen Yanming nodded, closed the door, and without sitting down, took out a bag of rice, two packets of milk powder, a packet of milk candy, a bottle of honey, and several cans of meat from his magical backpack.
It's the same as what Ji Kangyong's family gave, but much more than what Zeng Yiming and Song Nuanwen received.
Li Wanwan was stunned; she had no idea how he managed to fit so many things into that bag.
Without daring to ask, I quickly hid the things in the closet, under the bed, and in the bedding. Basically, I hid them wherever was safest.
Li Wanwan's little princess is almost two years old. Her big, bright eyes stared at her mother hiding something, and she immediately giggled.
Then she deliberately caused trouble by pulling out the candy that Li Wanwan had just stuffed into the quilt. Li Wanwan was so angry that she almost hit her.
"This girl is too naughty. If you don't discipline her for three days, she'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles."
"Being a little mischievous is good, it makes you more lively. Sweetie, do you still remember your uncle?"
The little girl shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
Shen Yanming wasn't angry. He took out a lollipop from his pocket and said, "Oh, I don't remember. Then Uncle will be angry. You should keep this candy for yourself."
The little girl rushed over to fawn over him, hugging Shen Yanming's leg and shouting, "Uncle, candy, candy!"
They were so anxious they almost climbed Old Shen like a tree.
Shen Yanming picked up the little girl and said to Li Wanwan, "I'll take her next door to play for a while, and then I'll bring her back to you."
"Okay." Since it was only a wall away, Li Wanwan wasn't worried. However, she still said, "I'll pack up and go over too."
Shen Yanming didn't say anything and took the little girl back to Ji Kangyong's house.
As soon as she entered, the little girl called out, "Auntie Yiren!"
Shen Yanming was so frustrated that he complained to Bi Qiaoan, "I send her so many delicious things every month, and this girl doesn't even remember me. Don't you think she's a little ungrateful?"
The little girl wasn't afraid of Shen Yanming at all. She snuggled into his arms a couple of times and then reached out her arms for Bi Qiaoan to hold her.
Bi Qiaoan hugged the little girl and kissed her cheek, then smiled at Qin Yiren and said, "He feels that Nuannuan has grown up and he can't hold her like this anymore, so he feels a little sad."
Shen Yanming: "..." Although it is true, could you please not say it out loud?
Qin Yiren understood this. After all, it was quite a feeling to see such a lovely little girl suddenly grow taller and become a graceful young woman.
"If she finds a partner and gets married in two years, won't your husband be even more heartbroken?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yanming's face darkened. The air in the room felt chilly, and Qin Yiren felt a sense of oppression.
The children were also very perceptive; the little girl buried herself in Bi Qiaoan's arms and refused to look up, while Qin Yi's precious child started crying.
Bi Qiaoan glared at Shen Yanming, and only then did Shen Yanming put away his coldness.
"He's been jealous so many times. Every time someone brings it up, he gets all worked up. You tell me, he's like a little kid. Nuannuan is only seven. Even if someone brings it up as a joke, does he have to take it so seriously?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yanming objected and looked directly into Bi Qiaoan's eyes, saying, "Why can't we take it seriously? What if they take the joke seriously and insist on marrying Nuannuan? What do you suggest we do then?"
Arguing with someone, or reasoning with them? I'm nipping the danger in the bud!
Bi Qiaoan was stunned, realizing the logic in the argument. Unable to win the argument, the smile on her face vanished instantly.
Qin Yiren was overjoyed, pursing her lips to force herself not to laugh.
It was so funny that I couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the sound carried to the next room.
"Oh my, what are you talking about? Why are you so happy?" Li Wanwan asked, opening the door with a puzzled look.
Shen Yanming threatened Qin Yiren with his eyes, but Qin Yiren didn't care. She grabbed Li Wanwan's hand and told her what had just happened.
Li Wanwan agreed with Shen Yanming's statement. She looked at Bi Qiaoan with a serious expression and said, "Sister-in-law, don't take this lightly. In the past, in TV dramas and novels, didn't the parents of the male and female supporting characters always use the jokes made by the male and female leads' parents when they were young as a marriage agreement to make it more difficult for the male and female leads to be together?"
This art originates from life. If someone actually uses this to criticize Nuannuan when she grows up, your little one will be very upset.
Shen Yanming raised an eyebrow at Bi Qiaoan, as if to say, "Now you know, I'm not exaggerating."
Bi Qiaoan touched her nose: "Cough, I know, I'll be more careful in the future."
The group chatted for a while, then dispersed.
On the way, Shen Yanming held Bi Qiaoan's hand and whispered to her, "It's not that I don't like Qi Lin, nor that I dislike his age. It's just that Qi Lin is a young man with his own ideas. He may not like Nuan Nuan, and he may not be able to wait for more than ten years."
