Liu Jingsong went to the building and bought an ounce of cotton and two feet of cloth similar in material to his cotton-padded coat.
From then on, the two teenagers spent more time together, and Cao Xiaoyu would occasionally help Liu Jingsong with cooking, laundry, and cleaning.
The two had a good relationship. Liu Jingsong wasn't clueless about everything; he would always teach Cao Xiaoyu when he was free.
And so, their relationship grew very good.
December arrived. Zhang Hongmei's heart was restless, counting down the days. She was eagerly anticipating the 20th so that Annie could come over.
The situation at the McCann's house was far from peaceful. Daniel knew that his father and sister were going to see their mother, and for the first time, he insisted on going.
"Grandma, there won't be any problems, you know me."
"Daniel, the plane is too unsafe."
“Grandma, you’re overthinking it. I believe in fate. If I’m destined to only live to this age, then I won’t be safe even if I don’t fly. But I feel like I’m destined to live to be a hundred. Grandma, I want to go. Please grant my wish.”
Huang Meihua looked at her stubborn grandson. He had never been so assertive before; he always did things her way.
Beth said, "Go ahead, Grandpa believes in you. Grandpa knows you miss your mother, go see her."
"grandmother!"
Huang Meihua's eyes were filled with tears. This child was so stubborn; he insisted on getting her consent.
"Okay, go ahead, Grandma will be waiting for you at home."
Daniel smiled happily; his smile was like a hundred flowers blooming.
"Grandpa, Grandma, thank you."
Beth patted Huang Meihua's hand, "The child is grown up, let him make his own way."
"Yes, we're getting old."
When Annie came home from school, she was very happy to learn that Daniel would be coming too. She patted the boy, who was taller than her.
"Let's not tell Mom. She'll be very surprised by your sudden appearance."
"Sister, call and tell Mom to make sure she calls Weiyu and the others over."
"Yes, Mom said that Weiyu and the others will definitely come back."
"Okay, I'll start preparing their gifts tomorrow. Is there anything you need me to prepare?"
“I had already prepared everything. I prepared clothes, shoes, and a wallet for Weiyu.”
"Oh, then I'll prepare my weapons. They called me without any suitable weapons, and their kung fu is quite good now."
"Mom called Dad, and Dad prepared a lot of knives and a gun."
"Hmm, I'll go to the factory tomorrow to see if they have any new weapons suitable for them."
"Daniel, is this a good idea? The elders won't agree."
“It’s alright, I have a way.” Daniel is the sole heir of the McCann family, and his words sometimes carry more weight than Beth’s. Moreover, he has always studied under the elders, and the bond between them is very strong.
Annie excitedly ran over to call Wang Zining.
"Ningning, Daniel and I are going to China together."
"Then I want to go too."
"I can't help you with that. If you want to go, you'll need Grandma Wang and Grandpa Zhao's permission, and you'll also need my dad's permission, so you'll have to figure it out yourself."
"Annie, wait for my good news."
Eleven-year-old Wang Zining was very shrewd; without telling Wang Xinyi or Zhao Tiancheng, he directly dialed Carlos's number.
"Brother Carlos, I want to go to China too. I want to see Sister Hongmei."
"Wang Zining, you should ask Aunt Wang for her permission first."
"I know, but what do you mean?"
"I'll take you with me if they agree."
"Okay, wait for my good news."
Wang Zining hung up the phone and rushed to the study.
"Wang Zining, where is your manners?" Wang Xinyi frowned as she looked at her son.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I was too excited and forgot. I promise, it will never happen again."
"Tell me, what's got you so excited?"
"Mom, Carlos is going to see Sister Hongmei, and Annie and Daniel are going too. I just called him, and he agreed to let me come along."
“He agreed, but your father and I haven’t.”
"Mom, you'll definitely agree, won't you? Don't you miss Sister Hongmei and Zhenye? I'll go see them for you. I also want to show Sister Hongmei a picture of my nephew."
“Wang Zining, if you put all that energy into your studies, I wouldn’t worry. Go ahead and see Zhenye and the others. They’re only eight years old, but they’re much better than you.”
"Mom, thank you, thank you. I'll leave Dad to you now. No, I have to go tell my sister-in-law to take more pictures of my nephew, or it'll be too late." With that, she ran off like the wind.
Wang Xinyi dialed Huang Meihua's number. "Sister Huang, I thought you wouldn't agree to Daniel going."
"He insisted on going today, and it reminded me of a young Carlos."
"Go ahead, go ahead, we're old, it's time for them to decide."
"Yes, Ningning is going too. I'll call Carlos in a bit."
"Well, let them go. Their hearts have already wandered off."
When Zhao Tiancheng returned, his youngest son snuggled up to him and asked, "Dad, what gift should I bring for Zhenye?"
"I don't know, that's your friend, you'll have to figure it out yourself."
"What friend? That's my nephew."
"Yes, your nephew, then you need to be even more careful."
“Dad, you know, I can’t call them now. How am I supposed to know what he needs or what he’s lacking? No, I have to call Daniel.”
Looking at my energetic second son, I wonder how he developed such a personality. My wife and I are both calm and collected people.
While they were making active preparations, Wyatt was sulking.
Seeing that the old man was about to pass away, he actually paved the way for his good older brother.
A sinister smile. Dreams come quickly. What's meant to be yours, no one can touch.
Tomorrow we'll let them know that their hopes were dashed.
Watching his wife come downstairs, his smile grew even more sinister. Cheating on him? How dare she. Using her "good brother's" child to put on airs with him?
Let them have some fun tonight.
Wyatt ignored the woman who had come down and continued drinking by himself.
Kelly Brown sat down on the sofa with a smile. "Wyatt, shall we go back today?"
"What? You want to go back?"
Kelly Brown nodded. "It's more lively back home. You're never home, and I get quite lonely. It would be nice to have someone to keep me company back home."
"Hehe, then go ahead. I can't go, I have a meeting tonight."
Wyatt smiled at the cheerful Kelly Brown and said, "Go ahead, you won't have another chance."
