There was an endless stream of people coming to the full moon banquet. Xue Wangjun and Jiang Qiuyu greeted the guests at the door, their faces frozen with smiles.
Xue Wangjun felt sorry for his wife and asked her to go and rest.
"Take Xiaobao and sit in the lounge. I'll take care of these people."
Jiang Qiuyu's face was stiff from smiling, her waist was aching from standing, and she wished she could take a rest.
So she took Jiang Peirong to the lounge.
Xu Suzhen also wanted to take a rest, but she still had Ying Huanyu on her hands.
She hadn't been back to the village for a long time, and all the old sisters were waiting to tease her.
"Suzhen, don't let your feelings for this child get to you. Look how much you like her."
"Bah!" Xu Suzhen spat, "If I hadn't found her mother and grandmother, would I have carried her everywhere? I love our little treasure so much that I can't wait to see her."
Before leaving, Xue Wangjun went to Li Minxue's house specifically to look for her, but no one was there. Neighbors said that they saw the mother and daughter a few days ago, but no one knew where they had gone in the past few days.
There was no choice but to bring it back to the hotel.
After Xu Suzhen finished speaking, the people around her burst into laughter, making fun of her for raising someone else's granddaughter.
Before Xu Suzhen had finished venting her dissatisfaction, Ying Huanyu's little hand climbed up her arm and twisted it hard...
"ah--!"
Xu Suzhen screamed, and immediately threw Ying Huanyu to the person next to her, while she checked her arm.
The places where Ying Huanyu twisted her skin were red, swollen and broken, and it was a sight to behold.
Others gathered around her and advised her to let it go and not bother with a child.
"She was just careless. How could a child have any bad intentions?"
Xu Suzhen didn't think so. She had spent a lot of time with Ying Huanyu and had discovered that Ying Huanyu was very stubborn. It happened that every time she finished speaking...
But before she could finish her thought, those old sisters went to chat with someone else and left Ying Huanyu back to her.
"You can carry this burden by yourself!"
Xu Suzhen looked at the baby in her arms unhappily, and Ying Huanyu looked at her with confusion and innocent eyes.
So Xu Suzhen started to wonder if she was making a big deal out of nothing, and the matter was left unresolved.
Little did he know that someone else was seeing it.
In the lounge, Jiang Peirong and Jiang Qiuyu were cleaning up Xue Jiayu.
Jiang Qiuyu changed her diaper, Jiang Peirong made milk for her, and Zhan Nanqi sat not far away, watching them busy with an expressionless face.
"I really admire you. The two of us can't even take care of her alone, and we have to take care of two people at ordinary times. How did you do it?" Jiang Peirong wiped the sweat from her face and asked Jiang Qiuyu with a smile.
Jiang Qiuyi stared at her daughter with a satisfied look on her face. "She is a piece of my flesh. I am willing to die for her. What can't I do to take care of her?"
【Mother……】
Xue Jiayu was so moved that she sucked milk madly while holding the bottle, and occasionally glanced at Zhan Nanqi who was lying on the sofa.
She was still worried. She changed the plot of Aunt Jiang bullying Zhan Nanqi. What about the rest? She had to find a way to keep Zhan Nanqi under her watch every day so that she could rest assured.
"Nanqi, today is my sister's birthday. Why don't you come over and say happy birthday to her?" Jiang Peirong waved at her son, mentally prepared that Zhan Nanqi would not even pay attention to her.
However, he stood up without hesitation, walked to Xue Jiayu, looked at her straight, and said nothing.
"Speak now." Jiang Peirong urged in a low voice, "What's the point of just watching over your child?"
Before Zhan Nanqi could speak, Xue Jiayu's face had already turned red.
[Oh my, handsome boy, you're staring at me like that. I'm so shy]
Jiang Qiuyi's mouth twitched, and she quickly came to the rescue: "It's okay, it's okay. We know Nan Qi's feelings, and we don't have to say it out loud."
"That won't work. It's your birthday after all." Jiang Peirong patted Zhan Nanqi's shoulder encouragingly. "Just say happy birthday to your sister. Go ahead, just say it."
“…”
"Happy birthday."
These four short words caused the three of them to look at him with surprise. Jiang Peirong was extremely happy and she hugged Zhan Nanqi for a long time, unable to calm her inner excitement.
In the past, Zhan Nanqi completely refused to allow the outside world to communicate with him. He was the only one who took the initiative to open channels of communication with the outside world, and he had never heard what others said.
And today he actually listened to her. How could Jiang Peirong not be excited!
He even wanted to call Zhan Aoxiang to join in the excitement.
Xue Jiayu was holding the bottle when she suddenly had an idea.
If you want to change the handsome boy's fate, maybe you can cure his illness first.
In the book, Zhan Nanqi has trouble with all the major events in his life because of his autism.
As long as this disease is cured, perhaps I can live a peaceful life.
Jiang Peirong took a deep breath, but still couldn't suppress her inner excitement. She wanted to go out and find Zhan Aoxiang to share this joy.
Jiang Qiuyi saw it and took the initiative to say with a smile: "You go ahead, Old Xue is introducing him to the businessmen in this area. Most of these men are smoking on the balcony."
"Then I'll go!" Jiang Peirong stood up and gently told Zhan Nanqi, "Wait here for a while, mom will be back soon."
Zhan Nanqi did not respond, but Jiang Peirong was already satisfied and hurriedly left the lounge.
Jiang Qiuyu held Xue Jiayu and played for a while, when suddenly someone knocked on the door.
A man wearing a mask and a chef's uniform came in and said urgently, "Madam, there is something wrong with the ingredients. You'd better go and take a look."
"What's the problem?" Jiang Qiuyi glanced at the man's chest, "Why aren't you wearing your work badge?"
"I was just preparing food, but it's inconvenient to work with my work badge on. I can't make today's finale, abalone in golden soup, because all the abalone is spoiled."
Jiang Qiuyi immediately stood up and asked seriously, "How could this happen? Is it because of your negligence in management or is there something wrong with the ingredients you sent?"
"You should go and take a look yourself. If the golden soup abalone cannot be served, we have to change the finale dish."
Jiang Qiuyi got a headache just thinking about it, but she couldn't take Xue Jiayu to such a greasy and dangerous place as the kitchen...
But the issue of the dishes was urgent, so she had no choice but to temporarily hand Xue Jiayu over to Zhan Nanqi.
"Nanqi, can you help auntie look after my sister for a while? I'll be back in the kitchen soon!"
Zhan Nanqi remained silent. Jiang Qiuyu was unsure whether he was willing or not, but Xue Jiayu couldn't wait to pounce on him.
He caught Xue Jiayu, and Jiang Qiuyu repeatedly promised to be back soon before leaving in a hurry.
The kitchen and lounge are not far away, only three minutes away.
Jiang Qiuyu thought, as long as she was fast enough, there would be no accidents.
Zhan Nanqi hugged Xue Jiayu and stared at her.
To be precise, it was Xue Jiayu who was looking at him with starry eyes.
[The little handsome guy is so handsome, wow, now it’s just the two of us! ]
“…”
Zhan Nanqi's mouth twitched. How come this little girl has all these words?
