"Liwen, why aren't you eating this?"
Professor Wen bought a loaf of bread for each child, and by the end of the day, the children were all hungry.
"For little brother Xiaobao."
As soon as Li Wen spoke, a piece of bread appeared in front of him.
"I'll share with you. I almost forgot about little Bao. Let's bring little Bao next time."
Li Wu broke off a piece of his bread, and Wang Xing and Hu Zhenghao followed suit.
"Yes, next time we'll bring Xiaobao along too, so we won't forget him."
“You eat it yourselves. Grandma bought some for Xiaobao, but she put it in her pocket. You are all good children.”
Professor Wen even showed it to the children, and only after confirming that it was indeed there did the children feel reassured.
To be honest, having seen so many lively and active children, Xiao Bao was remarkably quiet. It was the first time Professor Wen had ever seen such a quiet child.
According to Zhou Ang, Xiao Bao is somewhat like his maternal grandfather; he prefers going to the hospital with Zhou Ang to going to the orphanage.
However, the children have a very good relationship, and they always remember to give Xiaobao a share of the food and toys.
Today, Zhou Ang said he was going to participate in an event, and worried that Professor Wen would be too tired taking the children to the Children's Palace, so he also took Xiao Bao with him.
Gui Xiang boarded the last bus. Looking at the wide road, she realized how quickly time had passed.
Gui Xiang tugged at her clothes; they were made by the eldest son's wife, and she wore them specially to come back.
In the distance, Gui Xiang saw a familiar figure waiting. Lifting the sack containing her belongings, Gui Xiang, who had been traveling for a day and a night, got off the bus with slightly unsteady steps.
"Mother, let me do it, please take your time."
Changshun stepped forward, supporting Guixiang's arm with one hand and taking the things from her with the other.
"Ah Xiu cooked at home, so we can have dinner when we get back."
"Um."
The mother and son walked in silence all the way until they arrived at their doorstep. Gui Xiang saw her two grandsons doing their homework at the door, playfully poking each other, not even noticing the books falling to the ground.
Changshun saw it too, and his anger flared up. He put the sack in his hand on the ground, grabbed the note, and rushed over.
At the social gathering, Liao Yuanjie walked up to Fan Juan with a pen in his hand.
"Comrade Fan Juan, my name is Liao Yuanjie. I am 1.8 meters tall, I don't smoke or gamble, and I have no bad habits. After we get married, I can hand over all my allowance. I know about your job. After we get married, you can still do what you like. If you agree, please accept this."
After Liao Yuanjie finished speaking, his ears burned. He had been thinking about this for so long, why was he still stuttering?
Fan Juan was stunned for a moment. The social event had just started, and everyone had gotten to know each other and introduced themselves to the people they liked. She was still thinking about the next steps when she was suddenly confessed to.
"Xiao Fan, come here, come here, forget it, leave the rest to me."
Fan Juan's supervisor stepped forward with a smile and took the microphone from her hand.
"I remember you."
Fan Juan's work was taken over by her supervisor, so she simply let go of it as well.
"You saw me off the day I returned to China."
"yes."
Liao Yuanjie nodded.
“My job will be very busy, and I may have to travel a lot. If we get married, I may not be able to accompany you to the military base. Also, I don’t plan to have children within the next three years. My career is just starting.”
Fan Juan didn't refuse outright.
“Being a military wife is tough. It would be a shame if you had a job and came with me to the military. There’s no rush to have children. We’re both still young. My husband is the only one in my family, and he won’t pressure us to have kids. All my older sisters are married. You’re in charge of the household.”
Liao Yuanjie immediately spoke up.
Fan Juan almost burst out laughing when she heard this. She was trying to politely refuse, hoping that the person would back down, but the person actually accepted it and made the decision for her.
