"This girl is so promising, what kind of boy could possibly be good enough for her?" Aunt Yuan exclaimed.
"The child is really good, but she has such a clueless mother. Fenglan must have caused trouble again when she came back yesterday. We should not let Manman come back unless we are full in the warehouse," sighed Grandpa Ge.
Aunt Yuan: "I really can't understand what's going on in Fenglan's head. Such a promising child, why doesn't she have a good life and insists on going to help the poor? She's so clueless."
"Every household has its own troubles, and every family has its own problems."
"Grandma, Grandpa, I'm back!" Manman's voice arrived before she even entered the house.
Li Mancang and Wu Zhiqi were both waiting at home. "Oh, my Manman is back!"
"Grandpa, did you miss me?" Manman put down her things and acted coquettishly towards Li Mancang.
"I've been thinking about you, you brat. You've been gone for months without a word," Li Mancang said, tapping his full forehead.
Manman: "Oh dear, I wish I hadn't gone to military school. I can't always be with you guys."
"Don't listen to your grandpa's nonsense. Do you want some meat pies? Grandma will make some for you." Manman loves meat pies, so Li Mancang went out early in the morning to buy meat and prepared them, just waiting for Manman to come back.
"I want to eat it, Grandma! Yours is the best. I dream about it, I'm so hungry for it!"
"You silly girl, you're good at flattering your grandma. You chat with your grandpa for a while, and I'll go cook for you," Wu Zhiqi said happily as she went to cook.
"Is work tiring?" Li Mancang asked a pointless question, looking at the dark circles under his eyes.
"I'm not tired, I just miss home a little," Manman leaned against Li Mancang's arm.
"Come back when you're on holiday, Grandpa will be waiting for you at home," Li Mancang said, stroking his thick hair.
"Grandpa, is Mom back and asking for the house?" Manman asked casually.
Li Mancang sighed, "Why are you so smart, girl? Nothing can be hidden from you."
“This house was bought with my father’s pension. I won’t give it to her, but I won’t touch this money either. I’ll leave it for her to live on in her old age.” When Fenglan can no longer earn money, Manman doesn’t believe the Song family will treat her mother well. Her job also prevents her from taking care of her. She will leave this money for Fenglan to live on in her old age.
"You're too thoughtful, child." Having a mother like this is a burden to the child. Manman is so old and still hasn't found a partner. Li Mancang thinks it's because of Fenglan's influence.
"Grandpa, just don't get upset with Grandma and me. There's nothing wrong with Mom wanting to pursue happiness. Maybe a little hardship and fatigue will bring her sweetness in her heart." Manman tried to understand her mother, but she couldn't. She thought it might be because she had never been in a relationship. Love can overcome all material desires; it's a kind of spiritual happiness.
Li Mancang... what a joke, he's over fifty, but looks like he's the same age as me.
In no time, Wu Zhiqi finished making the meat pies, one with beef filling and the other with chives and eggs. He ate five in one go, completely satisfied.
"Grandma, your pancakes are the best in the world. No other pancakes taste like this."
Wu Zhiqi smiled, her eyes crinkling. "You're such a good coaxer. After dinner, let's go to the neighborhood committee. Who knows when you'll be back next time? Hurry up and sign the papers for your house."
Wu Zhiqi glanced at Li Mancang, who nodded; the child had already guessed.
"Okay, Grandma, when are you moving out?"
"Let's not rush, let's just go with the flow."
The three of them took their things and went to the street.
The developer's staff are very enthusiastic. Most people are still observing and want more, so not many people are moving out. The staff are working very hard every day. They are definitely more enthusiastic towards those who come on their own initiative.
