At the end of April, Yanbei was slightly cool in the mornings and evenings, and the weather during the day was gradually showing the signs of summer, but it was not so hot that people could not bear it.
It was just after noon, the sun had already risen, and the warm sunlight was shining brightly outside. When Su and Ren Yaoting came in, Ren Yaoting's face was slightly red, and there seemed to be a trace of sweat on his forehead. Su, on the other hand, looked refreshed, with her usual gentle smile on her ordinary face, neither frivolous nor impetuous.
Seeing Ren Yaoting pick up the tea bowl and drink several sips, Old Lady Ren smiled and said, "Ting'er is still so afraid of the heat. Summer hasn't arrived yet."
Ren Yaoting put down the tea bowl in her hand: "When summer comes, I won't go out. I will put two or three ice pots in the room." After that, she stuck out her tongue.
Old Mrs. Ren laughed and said, "You're more like your father. Your father didn't like to go out in the summer."
Ren Yaoting spent very little time with his father, and his feelings for him were far less than those for his mother. Hearing this, he just smiled and did not ask any further questions.
Old Mrs. Ren has already discussed with Mrs. Su about holding a dragon boat race on the Dragon Boat Festival.
Ren Yaoting said to Ren Yaoqi, who was sitting closest to him, "Will you also go to Yunyang City with us to watch the dragon boat race this year?"
The Ren family received invitations to the dragon boat race every year, so naturally they had to go. In the past, when Old Lady Ren went to Yunyang City, she would bring two or three of her granddaughters with her. Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoyin had both been there several times, but Ren Yaoqi, the unfavored granddaughter, had never been allowed to attend.
Ren Yaoqi smiled slightly and replied in a low voice: "I will listen to the arrangements made by the elders when the time comes."
Ren Yaoting asked Mrs. Ren directly, "Grandma, which sisters do you plan to take to watch the dragon boat race this year?"
Su glanced at the younger generations present and gently rebuked her daughter, "It's still early. Your great-aunt will naturally have something to think about when the time comes."
Old Madam Ren didn't seem to mind. She glanced at her three granddaughters and said with a smile, "Hua'er and Yin'er came with me in the past few years. I'm used to having them around. I'll bring them along again this year."
Finally, Old Lady Ren's gaze fell on Ren Yaoqi again, and she said slowly: "Qier hasn't been there in the past few years. Let Qier go with you this year." She did not mention Ren Yaoyu and Ren Yaoying.
Ren Yaoqi was stunned when she heard this. Then, somewhat flattered, she said, "Thank you, Grandma."
Old Madam Ren had something else going on with Su.
Ren Yaoting felt that it was his credit that Ren Yaoqi was able to go, and secretly winked at Ren Yaoqi.
As she wished, Ren Yaoqi gave her a perfect smile of gratitude.
Over there, Old Lady Ren was asking about the Su and Han families' participation in hosting this year's dragon boat race. Su's answer was bland and she did not mention that the Su family wanted to jointly open a coal mine with the Han family.
Ren Yaoqi was chatting with Ren Yaoting and Ren Yaoyin, while also paying attention to the conversation between Old Lady Ren and Su. That was until someone outside announced that his eighth sister, Ren Yaoyu, had arrived.
Old Mrs. Ren was talking, and when she heard this, she didn't stop talking, but just waved her hand gently towards the outside.
Not long after, Ren Yaoyu came in and came forward to pay her respects to Old Madam Ren.
Mrs. Ren and Mrs. Su had just finished their conversation and were indifferent to Ren Yaoyu. They just nodded and told her to go talk with her sisters. Then they ignored her.
Before Fifth Madam Lin fell out of favor, Old Madam Ren had never been particularly fond of her granddaughter, Ren Yaoyu. After the "curse" incident, Old Madam Ren's dislike for Ren Yaoyu grew even worse, and after the Ren Shijia incident, the status of the Lins and their daughter plummeted even further.
