Xiao Dabao frowned as she looked at the young man in front of her, who was grinning at her mother with his big white teeth. She felt that the task her father had given her was a bit difficult. Her mother's good looks had already made these men disregard the fact that she was married.
"It is quite a coincidence."
What Gu An'an really wanted to say was that it's normal to run into people eating at these few school cafeterias during mealtimes, but they didn't mean any harm, so there was no need to be so sharp.
"Gu, what would you like to eat? Our cafeteria has a few pretty good dishes, I can recommend some to you."
Seeing the man in front of them being particularly enthusiastic, Tang Yani and Nan Xiaoxiao exchanged a glance, both wanting to watch the show unfold.
“My grandparents just want a simple meal, a few dishes, so there’s no need to trouble Xue.”
Gu An'an emphasized her mother-in-law's identity, which Xue Ren didn't know at first. He originally thought that Xiao Ma was Gu An'an's mother from her maternal family, since the two got along like mother and daughter, which is why he felt comfortable striking up a conversation with her in front of her.
Little did he know that the woman in front of him was actually a mother-in-law, and even with his thick skin, he felt a little embarrassed.
"Ahem, I was just thinking that Gu doesn't know our environment well. Since it's not necessary, I'll go eat."
After saying that, he quickly left, his steps suggesting a hasty retreat.
"Hahaha! Sister An'an, your charm is simply irresistible!"
Tang Yani was straightforward, while Nan Xiaoxiao was more thoughtful. She tugged at Tang Yani's sleeve and gave a wink to the Xiao family members.
It's fine to say these things in private, but if Gu An'an's in-laws hear them, they might have some thoughts about her.
Tang Yani wasn't stupid; she knew what Tang Yani meant from her look and quickly shut her mouth.
However, their little actions did not escape the eyes of the Xiao family. Xiao's mother spoke first, "It's okay. Our An'an is good in every way. It's normal for boys to like her. It just shows that my son has good taste and acts quickly. Why should I be unhappy?"
"Exactly, it's not the first time someone has tried to steal my dad's girlfriend. Our family is used to it."
Xiao Erbao was holding the snacks Nan Xiaoxiao had given him, and even eating couldn't stop his mouth from getting full.
"But Aunt Yani, Aunt Xiaoxiao, you two have to keep an eye on my mom. My dad loves her so much, she definitely wouldn't have any other thoughts. But I'm afraid she might run into a bad man. Don't ruin her reputation. A girl's reputation is very important."
As Aunt Zhao Man once said, the more outstanding a person is, the more trouble they are likely to encounter. It is essential to maintain good relationships with your mother's classmates and have a few informants.
It has to be said that Xiao Erbao's little brain works very quickly as long as he's not facing his family.
"We can definitely help keep an eye on things, but Erbao, how are you going to repay us?"
"My grandma and mom are both great cooks. I can bring you some delicious food when I come to pick up my mom next time."
When it comes to food, Xiao Erbao can talk endlessly, which is enough to show where all that fat on his body came from.
As they talked, Gu An'an had already ordered several stir-fried dishes. The group sat down to eat and chat. The more they talked, the more Gu An'an understood the two of them, which made her feel relieved.
Even though I don't live here often, it's always better to have an easy-going roommate than one with a lot of problems.
While they were chatting and laughing, Xue Ren, sitting in a corner not far away, lost his appetite.
"Ren-ge, what's wrong? Did Gu say something that embarrassed you?"
Xue Ren remained silent, but his eyes kept glancing in the direction where Gu An'an and the others were.
"Ren-ge, just say what's on your mind! You're scaring me a little right now. If you tell me, maybe I can help you."
"The aunt next to Gu is not her mother, but her husband's mother."
Tang Gui: "...So, Ren-ge, you flirted with someone's daughter-in-law right in front of her mother-in-law? That auntie was actually quite nice; she didn't even scold her..."
Xue Ren fell silent again, and Tang Gui dared not press him any further, fearing that Xue Ren would take his anger out on him.
Gu An'an didn't notice any of these things. After finishing her meal, she took her family for a walk around the school a few times and then handed in her completed application for day school to her homeroom teacher.
"Okay, you can go back now! I'll take the application to get it stamped for you. There's a class meeting tomorrow at 2:30 PM, don't forget."
"Okay, thank you, teacher."
Overall, today's experience was good.
The Xiao family returned home, and then Old Master Xiao took one great-grandson in each hand to his friend's house.
"Old Xiao, wanna play chess?"
"Hey, how did you know I ate lunch at Huada University? Let me tell you... Old Sun, you don't need to be envious. Although your grandson has no hope of getting into Huada University, your great-grandson hasn't started school yet. If you teach him well, maybe one day you'll be able to send him to Huada University to register."
Old Sun: "...Go away, go away, you're not welcome in our home."
Whether he genuinely disliked him or not, Old Master Xiao wasn't going to leave. He hadn't finished showing off yet; what would it look like if he left now?
The next day was the two children's first day of school. Gu An'an still had time, so she took them to school. When they arrived at the school gate, Gu An'an began to instruct them, "Kindergarten is all about having fun. It would be even better if you could learn something while playing, you know?"
The two little ones immediately nodded, "Mom, we understand. Is there anything else you want to tell us?"
Is there anything else you want to remind me of? Gu An'an thought for a moment and added two more sentences, "You can't cause trouble at school, and you have to be friendly to your classmates. But if someone bullies you, don't be afraid. You can talk to your teacher or your mother to resolve it. You can also fight back when appropriate, but you have to be careful not to go too far, understand?"
The two little ones nodded again; they were not afraid of anything.
"Mom, don't worry, we will never tarnish your and Dad's reputation."
As they spoke, the teacher came to greet them, saying, "Ms. Gu, don't worry, the child is with us, we will take good care of him."
"Okay, then if the teacher needs anything, please call this number and my family will come over to handle it."
Gu An'an gave the teacher the phone number of the Xiao family's old house before waving goodbye to the two children. Unlike the heartbreaking scenes in other families around them, the teacher took the two children away with one hand in each hand. Before leaving, the second child told his mother to hurry home and catch up on some sleep. His well-behaved appearance made the other parents around them extremely envious.
"Oh my, you have twins? How do you usually raise them? Not only are they not making a fuss, but they are also so considerate. Unlike my twin, I've been struggling with him at the door for half an hour. People who know him would think he's going to kindergarten, but people who don't would think he's going to the slaughterhouse."
