After waiting at the school gate for a while, Professor Ding's figure gradually approached, and Principal Guo was also there; Zhong Yuxiu shook her head helplessly and went to greet him.
"Professor Ding, Principal Guo."
Professor Ding said angrily, "Yuxiu, I didn't call him; he forced himself to come."
"What are you talking about? One more of you isn't too much, and one more of me isn't too much either." Principal Guo glanced at him, a smile on his face. "Yuxiu, you won't reject me, will you? I heard Lao Ding say he wanted to go to your house for dinner; it's because he thought it would be more lively with more people! Besides, I haven't seen your baby yet, so I'd go see him."
"Welcome, of course I welcome you. It's my great honor." Yuxiu invited them and the three of them left together.
I originally planned to take the bus back, but Yan Rushan got off the bus and my original plan was ruined.
Principal Guo touched Professor Ding's shoulder lightly and said jokingly, "Look, the couple is so close, they even pick me up and drop me off at get off work. When we were young, no one could do what Comrade Yan did."
"That's you." Professor Ding rolled his eyes at him.
Principal Guo curled his lips and refused to admit what he said.
Yan Rushan stepped forward with a smile and said, "Professor Ding, President Guo, hello."
"Okay, you too." Professor Ding smiled and responded.
Principal Guo said, "You haven't been to Huada for a long time. Yuxiu is not here, and you don't like to come here."
Yan Rushan smiled lightly and did not respond. "Please come in, I have prepared food at home and am just waiting for you two."
Principal Guo and Professor Ding exchanged a glance. How had Yan Rushan known they were going to dinner? Zhong Yuxiu probably hadn't had time to tell him yet. Had he gone out to make a phone call? That didn't make sense either; the timing didn't add up.
In the end, they could only blame it on Yan Rushan being too smart.
"Excuse me."
A group of people got into the car. Zhong Yuxiu didn't get the front seat, and the passenger seat was occupied by Gu Lingguo. Yan Rushan was driving. Fang Guozhong, Professor Ding and President Guo also squeezed in the back.
As the car drove out of the Huada area, Professor Ding said, "Comrade Yan, please stop at the fork in the road ahead. I have something to do that will delay me for a few minutes. I'm sorry to bother you waiting a little longer."
"I'll go with him." Principal Guo understood and spoke decisively.
Yan Rushan had no objection and simply nodded. He parked the car at a fork in the road and said, "Go ahead and do whatever you want. Do you want us to go with you?"
"No need for you, it's just a small matter." Professor Ding waved his hand.
Upon seeing this, Fang Guozhong pushed open the car door and got out. Then, Principal Guo and Professor Ding got out one after another. The people in the car watched them walk into the alley next to them and soon disappeared around the corner.
The four of them waited for about seven or eight minutes, and then Principal Guo and Professor Ding came hurriedly, each carrying something in his hand: malted milk, milk candy, cloth, small clothes, etc. There was more malted milk, so each of them carried three bags.
Seeing this, what is there to understand? These two people went to the supply and marketing cooperative under the pretext of doing business, and the supply and marketing cooperative was across the street from this alley.
"Principal Guo, Professor Ding, what are you doing?"
"I bought some things for the child. How could I go to see him empty-handed?" Principal Guo smiled nonchalantly and said, "We were rude not to visit him after he was one month old."
Professor Ding nodded. "The children can drink the malted milk when they're older, and their clothes should be ready for use now. As for the candies and fabrics, divide them among yourselves."
"You two are too extravagant. You not only want to come to my house for a meal, but you also have to buy things." Zhong Yuxiu said embarrassedly.
Principal Guo chuckled, "Of course we should. We're not being polite, we love our children. Giving them something is also a token of our appreciation."
"Don't do that next time, or I won't dare let you in." After feigning anger, Yuxiu continued, "You and Professor Ding have helped me a lot. It's no exaggeration to say that you two are my elders. Elders don't come to our house to visit, and they don't buy anything."
"Okay, okay, just this once. You are such a stubborn kid." Principal Guo nodded repeatedly to assure us.
Professor Ding just smiled and said nothing. How could you just agree to something like that and then not do it? Children are innocent and adorable, but after they turn ten, they become less endearing. People who truly love children will inevitably want to buy them things to make them happy.
Zhong Yuxiu nodded in satisfaction. "Remember what you said, Professor Ding, and you too. Just come directly next time. I won't let you in with your things."
"I know." Professor Ding nodded with a smile.
Everyone was talking and chatting in the car, and the journey was not far, so they soon arrived at the compound. As soon as the car entered the compound, it parked in the Yan family yard, and everyone got off the car and walked to the Zhong family.
"Please come in, elders." Zhong Yuxiu slightly turned sideways to invite.
"Please." Principal Guo also invited them in, and then entered the Zhong family's house together with Zhong Yuxiu, Yan Rushan and Professor Ding.
"Please feel free to do as you please. I'll serve you some tea." Yan Rushan stepped aside and went to the kitchen.
Principal Guo smiled and said, "Yuxiu, you've found a good one. She's smart but not rigid, and she's prudent. She's also open-minded at home, and she's earned you a lot of respect outside."
"Old Guo, you haven't been drinking, what nonsense are you talking about?" Professor Ding rolled his eyes at him and said to Yuxiu, "He's a dog that can't spit out ivory. What do you mean by Yan Rushan earning you enough face? It's you who earned enough face for Yan Rushan."
"Yes, I said the wrong thing. They both gave each other enough face, okay?" Knowing that his words were inappropriate, Principal Guo smiled and no matter how inappropriate they were, they disappeared.
Zhong Yuxiu, beaming with joy, invited the two to the hall. Seeing Yan Guofeng there, she introduced him with a smile, "Grandpa, you're here too! Principal Guo and Professor Ding heard the children were one month old, so they came to see them."
"Welcome! Please take a seat, both of you." Yan Guofeng smiled. "Yuxiu, have someone serve tea."
Principal Guo and Professor Ding walked to the sofa and sat down, placing the things on the coffee table. "It's just a small token of respect."
“Just come, no need to bring anything.”
Zhong Yuxiu then sat down and said, "Grandpa, Brother Yan has gone to get some tea. Are Liji and the others awake?"
Yan Guofeng nodded slightly, "He's awake, looking around and playing, and his little hands are very energetic."
"Name it 'Li Ji'?" Professor Ding spoke at the right time.
"Yes, Li Ji, Li Zhen, Li Ming, their generation is the generation with the word 'Li' in their name." Yan Guofeng lowered his head and teased the child, "Isn't that right? Great-grandfather's little great-grandson."
Principal Guo smiled and praised, "What a nice name! Li Ji is the boss?"
"The eldest is Li Ji, the second is Li Zhen, and the third is Li Ming."
"They are all good names, easy to remember and have wonderful meanings. I wonder who chose them?" Professor Ding clapped his hands and smiled. These three names are not only upright and grand, but also have very good meanings. When they grow up, the three children will definitely be like their names.
Yan Guofeng was proud, "Our family chose it together."
"It is a great blessing that Mr. Yan's family is harmonious."
Yan Guofeng nodded in agreement, "I have done two things in my life that I feel are right. One is marrying my wife, and the other is marrying Yuxiu to my eldest grandson."
