But as fate would have it, just as Ruan Jiu was about to drive away, Shi's father and mother, as well as Shi Lingheng, finished their dinner at the Fan family's house and were also preparing to leave.
As soon as Shi Lingheng came out, he saw Ruan Jiu's car.
Fan Xiaofan was also somewhat surprised when he called out, "Mr. Ruan?"
Ruan Jiu touched her nose, got out of the car, and glanced around. Thankfully, the girl named Fan Miao wasn't there…
Fan Xiaofan noticed his gaze, her eyes darting around mischievously, and said with a deliberately wicked grin, "Mr. Ruan, are you looking for Sister Miao? It's a pity she had to study today and didn't come to the house..."
Ruan Jiu retorted, "I didn't do it, I didn't do it, you're talking nonsense!"
Grandma Fan, standing behind Fan Xiaofan, smiled knowingly and said, "Oh, young people, we understand, we understand. Xiao Miao should be at school, you can go find her..."
A gesture of encouragement.
Shi Lingheng, standing to the side, felt utterly miserable; he longed for that kind of encouragement too…
Ruan Jiu gave a dry "okay," then realized that she hadn't come to see Fan Miao. She had just come because she couldn't stand Shi Lingheng pushing everything onto her and acting as a third wheel.
...
Fan Xiaofan even made a cheering gesture, while Ruan Jiu looked directly at Shi Lingheng, as if to say, "You better control her..."
It's one thing for her to be an elder, but why is she adding fuel to the fire?
Shi Lingheng shrugged, "I can't control it, I can't control it..."
After seeing off the Shi family and Ruan Jiu, Fan Xiaofan and the others returned to the house. Fu Weidong still followed Fan Xiaofan around like a little tail, insisting on sitting next to her and listening to Fan Xiaofan chat with everyone.
Madam Fang glanced at Fan Xiaofan with a hint of envy. Why wasn't her own son so considerate? These two brats were like wild horses, wanting to stay by her side? Haha, that was just a dream...
At this moment, Fang Xiangwen and Fang Xiangwu seemed to know that once Fan Xiaofan returned, Fu Weidong would be unable to hold on to her, so the two of them went off to have fun on their own.
It was as if the little boat that Fan Xiaofan gave to Grandpa Fan had opened up a door for him. Now the old man really enjoys studying these little handmade gadgets at home. Toys are scarce these days, and Fang Xiangwen and Fang Xiangwu absolutely adore them. They play with them so much that even their mother has forgotten about them...
Well, if you ask when is the best time to call them, it's only during mealtimes...
Mrs. Fang shook her head and sighed, feeling utterly defeated in her parenting...
However, they had been in Beidu for quite a while, and it was a bit inconvenient to keep bothering them. They had originally planned to leave, but Grandpa and Grandma Fan stopped them, saying they wanted her to stay a few more days with the child, and that they should wait until Xiao Fan returned before making any decisions...
When Xiao Fan heard that Madam Fang was going back, she naturally wanted her to stay a few more days: "Why are you leaving so soon? The children won't be back to school for a while."
Mrs. Fang said with a smile, "The children will be back to school in a while, but my husband has written to me several times urging me to go back. He's a grown man and he's been busy with work at home, eating in the cafeteria all day. He misses us too..."
"Besides, we've seen quite a lot these past few days, so we should go back and brag about it to make the trip worthwhile..."
Thinking of Factory Director Fang's pitiful appearance, Fan Xiaofan couldn't help but smile. The next morning, he and his grandparents saw Mrs. Fang and the others off at the train station before going to work at the research institute...
