Ding Qiunan noticed the Ran family's reaction, but she ignored it and continued speaking.
"However, as far as I know, He Yuzhu already has someone he likes."
!!
A casual remark made the three members of the Ran family widen their eyes in astonishment.
"You have someone you like? Then why did Teacher Yan introduce her to our Qiuye?" Ran's mother's expression changed several times.
Professor Ran was quite composed; he remained silent, waiting for Ding Qiunan to continue.
Ran Qiuye lowered her head again, looking as if it were none of her business.
"The situation is like this: it is said that the woman He Yuzhu likes has always been disapproved of by her mother-in-law, so He Yuzhu may have asked Yan Bugui to introduce her to someone else."
"Cough cough..." Li Chu coughed because his wife's words were too ambiguous.
"Does your mother-in-law disagree?" Professor Ran and his wife asked in unison.
Even Ran Qiuye raised her head again, looking at Ding Qiunan in shock.
"Oh, her husband died, and she has three children. Her mother-in-law has always opposed her remarrying."
"Oh, is that so!" Mother Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then it suddenly dawned on him: "Wait a minute, Dr. Ding, do you mean that He Yuzhu is entangled with a widow?"
Ding Qiunan gave her a sweet smile but didn't say anything.
Is there even a need to say anything more?
Hey, this really infuriated Professor Ran and his wife. What kind of person is this? How could their daughter date someone like this?
"Nonsense, utter nonsense!" Professor Ran said angrily, though it was unclear who he was referring to.
"Dr. Ding, thank you so much!" Ran's mother forced a smile and thanked Ding Qiunan.
"Professor Zhang, we are neighbors, it is only right for us to help each other, no need to be so polite."
Having achieved their goal, the Ran family of three left disappointed and did not stay any longer.
Of course, this disappointment did not include Ran Qiuye, who had never even considered the matter.
Before entering her own home, Ran Qiuye glanced back at the closed door next door.
Previously, Ran Qiuye always felt that husband and wife should be like her parents, respecting each other as guests. Her ideal partner was like her father, knowledgeable and gentle.
But ever since Dr. Li and his family moved in next door, it has completely changed her perception of the relationship between husband and wife.
It turns out that a couple's life can be so interesting and joyful.
Every day you can hear their cheerful laughter coming from their home.
"Sigh," Ran Qiuye sighed inwardly and went into her home.
On the other side, Li Chu looked helplessly at his wife, who was secretly delighted.
"You've ruined someone else's marriage."
"Hmph, who told him to be greedy and have his cake and eat it too? Besides, even if I don't say anything, he'll find out eventually."
Ding Qiunan walked into the living room, picked up the unfinished needlework again, and continued working.
"Dad, can we go out now?" Wen Hui, who was sitting on the blanket playing with her puppy, turned to look at Li Chu as he walked in.
"Come on, you two put on your shoes, let's go out and play for a while."
"Wife, why don't you come out for a walk with us?"
Ding Qiunan sat on the sofa without even raising her head: "I'm not going. I'm going to my sister's house this afternoon and then back to my house tomorrow. If I don't hurry, I won't be able to finish altering these clothes."
"Alright then, I'll take the kids out for a walk." Li Chu shrugged.
"Dad, can I take the puppy out?" Wenhui asked while putting on her shoes.
"No, the puppy is too young and cannot go outside."
After saying that, Li Chu turned his head and shouted towards the outside of the living room, "Xiao Bai, come in and take your child away."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaobai came running in.
They carried away the four puppies, one by one, who were still crawling around on the blanket like ground mice.
During this time, Xiao Hua seemed to want to help, but Xiao Bai whimpered at her and she tucked her tail between her legs and ran away.
After Wenhui and Wenxuan put on their shoes, Li Chu filled a water bottle with water, carried it on his back, and led them out, along with Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua. The three of them and the two dogs went out together.
When she returned, Ding Qiunan had already prepared lunch.
When the two little ones came in, each of them was holding a creamy ice cream and sucking on it happily.
Ding Qiunan wanted to say something, opened her mouth, but said nothing.
Li Chu knew what she wanted to say, so he leaned closer and smiled apologetically, "Honey, it's hot today, it's okay to eat one now and then."
"You spoil them so much, what will you do when they grow up and become disobedient?" Ding Qiunan muttered as she scooped food from the pot into plates.
"No way, our two kids are so obedient. Look around, everyone praises them for being obedient and sensible."
"Hmph..." Ding Qiunan rolled her eyes at her husband and shoved the plate in her hand into his hands.
"Alright, stop praising me, take the dishes out."
"Hehe," Li Chu turned his head to look outside.
He gave his wife a quick kiss on the cheek.
"How can I be praising you? I'm just stating the facts."
As Li Chu walked out of the kitchen, he said, "Huihui, Xuanxuan, hurry up and finish your ice cream, wash your hands, and eat your meal."
That evening, Li Chu and his family of four walked out of the district grain bureau's residential compound, with his sister and her family following behind.
Li Qin handed Xuanxuan, who was already asleep in her arms, to Ding Qiunan.
Huihui was sleeping soundly in her father's arms.
"Why are they going to bed so early?"
"I was so crazy at home at noon today that I didn't get any sleep. Usually at daycare, the nanny lets me sleep at noon."
"If you two go to the main hospital, what will happen to the child's daycare? Will you go there too?" Li Qin patted the head of the child in her sister-in-law's arms.
"No need, Li Chu has already spoken with the logistics team here. The child will stay here and won't come with us. I thought the daycare center at the main hospital wasn't well-managed the other day..."
Ding Qiunan complained to her sister in a low voice.
Li Chu stood to the side, talking to her brother-in-law.
"Brother-in-law, shall I come and drive it first thing tomorrow morning?"
"Hmm, don't come too early, come around seven or eight o'clock. I don't care about gas coupons, I don't know where you got so many gas coupons from."
"Hehe, brother-in-law, what's mine is yours, isn't it?" Li Chu said, holding the child in one arm and pretending to pull out a handful of oil coupons from his pocket with the other, stuffing them into his brother-in-law's hand without even looking at them.
Wang Ziwen looked down at the oil coupons in her hand, and without any hesitation, put them directly into her pocket.
Following the previous donation incident, Wang Ziwen was promoted, and he was directly appointed as the director of the municipal bureau, which is also in the grain system and can be considered an exceptional promotion.

His promotion shocked everyone.
They are going back to Ding Qiunan's house tomorrow. Li Chu borrowed a jeep from his brother-in-law so it would be more convenient to take the children back.
