Jiang Shaoting bought two more dishes and a bowl of soup.
Gu Fanghua brought a steamed bun to Liu Linlin, pushed the dishes in front of her, and said with a smile: "Linlin, eat quickly."
"Thank you, brother, and thank you, sister-in-law." Liu Linlin pursed her lips and smiled shyly, looking like a simple little girl.
Because they still had work to do in the afternoon, Gu Fanghua and Jiang Shaoting ate quickly.
Liu Linlin was worried and had no appetite. She ate a steamed bun, picked up a few dishes with her chopsticks, and put down her chopsticks.
"Linlin, why do you eat so little? Is the food not to your taste?" Gu Fanghua asked with concern.
Liu Linlin lowered her head pretending to be embarrassed, "Sister-in-law, I just had some snacks outside with my friends, so I'm not that hungry now."
"Greedy little girl, it turns out you've already eaten, no wonder you eat so little." Gu Fanghua teased her with a smile while clearing the plates.
Liu Linlin chuckled, "Sister-in-law, I didn't know my cousin wanted to keep me for dinner. Otherwise I wouldn't have eaten any snacks."
Jiang Shaoting looked at his watch and said to Liu Linlin, "Linlin, a lot of work has accumulated during the Chinese New Year. Your sister-in-law and I are very busy these days and can't chat with you for long. You should go back first, and we'll get together again when we're free."
Liu Linlin didn't get any questions this time. Although she was a little disappointed, she didn't dare to argue about it.
She planned to ask her aunt on Sunday where Chenchen and An'an had gone and whether they were following Han Zhenyu.
Thinking of this, Liu Linlin stood up and said with a smile: "Brother, sister-in-law, I will leave first and not disturb you at work."
Jiang Shaoting and Gu Fanghua sent her to the door, and when they saw her go to the bus stop opposite, they turned around and walked back.
There was still some time before work started, so the two of them didn't rush into the office, but instead took a stroll behind the office.
Gu Fanghua hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his doubts. "Shao Ting, do you feel that Linlin is different from when she was a child?"
Jiang Shaoting listened to his wife's words and asked in surprise: "What's the difference? Is it because she's older? Not as cute as she was when she was a child?"
Maybe it’s because men are careless and don’t pay attention to these things. Jiang Shaoting thought about it for a long time but didn’t feel anything different.
Gu Fanghua thought for a moment and said, "I don't know if it's because she's grown up. When she was little, she was very shy, but she was very well behaved. She didn't have any ulterior motives and was a very innocent little girl. But now she gives people the impression of being snobbish, pretentious, and fawning on the powerful."
"Not really? Why didn't I see that?" Jiang Shaoting found it a little funny when he heard his wife's comments about his cousin.
He was not speaking for Liu Linlin, he really didn't think it was that serious.
Gu Fanghua glared at him. "Why not? Last time, Haohao and Xuanxuan lived in our house for a few months. That girl knew they were from the countryside and didn't even look at them. But she tried to please Chenchen and Anan in every way possible."
"I gave her a warning, and that damn girl didn't dare to do it again. If this isn't snobbish, what is it? If it wasn't for mom's sake, I would have gotten mad at her a long time ago."
Jiang Shaoting's face darkened. "How come I didn't notice anything about this? Why didn't you tell me? If Haohao and Xuanxuan go back and tell their parents, what will Zhenyu and Xieqiu think of us?"
"I saw it that one time and told her about it right then and there. I also explained it to Haohao and Xuanxuan. Those two guys looked confused and didn't understand what I was saying. They probably didn't pay attention to Liu Linlin's attitude."
Seeing his angry face, Gu Fanghua advised softly: "After all, she is my mother's niece. We can't be too obvious. We know what kind of person she is. We should be more careful in the future."
"No, I have to tell my parents about this and ask her to come to our house less often in the future. Zhenyu's family is our benefactor. How dare she turn her back on Haohao and Xuanxuan? She really doesn't know her place."
Jiang Shaoting was very angry and felt that he was sorry for Han Zhenyu and his wife.
The two children came to live at home for a while, helping them cook and clean every day. But they were still looked down upon by Liu Linlin. What kind of thing was this? It really pissed him off.
Seeing that he was determined to speak, Gu Fanghua certainly would not stop him, but only reminded him in a low voice.
"Be more tactful when you talk to mom. If she knew her niece was like this, she would probably feel bad."
"Okay, I understand." Jiang Shaoting looked at his watch and saw that there were only ten minutes left before the meeting.
He said hello to Gu Fanghua and hurried back to the office.
………
On the fourth day after Han Zhenyu and his friends arrived in Beijing, they had almost finished tidying up the house.
Gu Fanghua took a morning off and took Su Xieqiu to school to register the three children.
Grandma Du and Grandpa Du also went there. They wanted to get familiar with the place and pick up the children from school every day.
Their home is not far from the school, about a ten-minute walk. There are several children in their neighborhood who study in that school.
Gu Fanghua had already informed the school in advance, so the registration went smoothly.
Tiantian is in the Yuhong class, while Haohao and Xuanxuan are in the second semester of the first grade.
The three of them carried the new schoolbags their mother made, received the textbooks given out when they registered, and jumped for joy.
"Slow down, everyone. Walk to the side." Su Xieqiu reminded them from behind.
Gu Fanghua sighed and said, "Seeing the children so happy, I feel that life has become more interesting."
Su Xieqiu smiled and nodded, "Sister Fang Hua, let's eat here at noon. Grandma and grandpa bought a chicken this morning, and we'll make soup today."
Gu Fanghua said regretfully: "Xie Qiu, I really want to stay, but there are still a lot of things to do at the company. I have to go back quickly, and I have two meetings to attend in the afternoon."
"Sister Fang Hua, work is more important, you go to work first. Han Zhenyu and I are going to visit uncle and aunt on Sunday. I wonder if you have time that day?"
Gu Fanghua nodded quickly, "When I have time, I was planning to tell you that my parents and in-laws want to invite you to dinner at their home on Sunday."
Su Xieqiu said, "Okay, let's go there on Sunday morning."
"You guys can't fit in one car. My dad has talked to my father-in-law about sending a car to pick you up when the time comes."
Seeing that she was about to refuse, Gu Fanghua immediately said, "Xie Qiu, I'm here mainly to pick up grandma and grandpa. My dad and his family originally said they would come over to visit, but I thought you guys have a lot to do these days and need to clean up the house, so I didn't come over to bother you."
Seeing how polite she was, Su Xieqiu looked helpless, "Sister Fang Hua, we are not strangers, uncle and aunt are too polite."
Gu Fanghua held her hand and said solemnly: "Xie Qiu, this is what we should do. Grandma and grandpa helped us raise Chenchen and An'an, and we can't thank them enough."
Seeing that she had said so much, Su Xieqiu could only smile and nod in agreement.
