"How about this? Mom will pick you up when she's not busy. On weekdays, let Grandma Zhou pick you up." Nanqiao thought it was not realistic for her to pick you up every day, so she took a step back.
"Okay, I'll listen to mom." Xiaoran and Xiaoche nodded obediently.
Sheng Yanchuan sent Nanqiao and the two children home, went back to get the car keys and left.
Nanqiao was going to take the two children to the study to do today's homework. When passing by the bathroom, he heard the sound of water. Nanqiao looked in the direction of the kitchen and saw Aunt Zhou busy in the kitchen. He frowned slightly. Could it be that Taohua came back? But it's not the weekend...
"You guys go to the study and do your homework first. Mom will be there soon." Nanqiao handed the small schoolbag to Xiaoran and Xiaoche, and turned to the kitchen.
"Aunt Zhou, is Taohua back?"
Aunt Zhou put down the soup spoon in her hand, looked towards Nanqiao and nodded, "She just came back and said she wanted to change clothes and wash up."
"Well, did you tell me what happened?" Taohua usually hangs out in the library at school. Unless she has something to do, she only comes back on weekends.
"I asked her, but she just said she was a little tired, and didn't say anything else. Maybe her parents came and she wanted to come back more often to see them." Aunt Zhou also felt that Taohua's return today was sudden, but she thought that she was a child after all, and it was not an unreasonable reason for her to want to see her parents more often, so she ignored it.
"Well, I understand." Nanqiao raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. If he really wanted to see his parents, he would go to Sheng's house. Why would he come back here to wash up...
Since Aunt Zhou didn't know, Nanqiao didn't ask any more questions. He made two cups of autumn pear paste and took them to the study.
When Nanqiao came in, the two kids were already writing their homework. Nanqiao put two glasses of water on the table, took a book and sat on the sofa at the back to read.
After watching for a while, Taohua poked her head towards the study.
"Sister-in-law," Taohua called softly.
Nanqiao looked up and smiled at her, then patted the spot beside him and said, "Find a book and read it for a while. We can have dinner later."
"Well, okay." Taohua absentmindedly picked up a book from the bookshelf, sat down next to Nanqiao, and flipped through the pages of the book in her hand, without noticing the
"Are you going to review your elementary school textbooks?" Nanqiao looked at the Chinese textbook in Taohua's hand and teased her with a smile.
Taohua came back to her senses, looked at the Chinese textbook in her hand, smiled awkwardly, closed it and put it aside.
What needs to be faced must be faced. Taohua took a deep breath and said, "Sister-in-law, I want to apologize to you on behalf of my mother."
Speaking of this matter, Nanqiao's heart was not disturbed at all, and even the movement of turning the book in his hand was not affected. He said in a calm voice, "This matter has nothing to do with you, and... don't mention this matter in the future, I have my own plans."
Nanqiao has made up his mind, and no one will change it. As for Taohua apologizing on his behalf, it is even more unreasonable. So this topic has the same result after all the discussion. There is no need to bring it up again.
The most important thing is that Xiaoran and Xiaoche are not aware of this. The world of children is simpler. After all, they are their grandparents. Nanqiao does not want to cause any rift between the two children and their grandparents because of his protection of her.
"Sister-in-law..." Taohua wanted to explain something, but was interrupted by Nanqiao
"Taohua, don't be so clear about many things. They are Xiaoran and Xiaoche's grandparents, Sheng Yanchuan and your parents, and my mother-in-law... Some connections can't be cut off, but for some connections, everyone can live in peace by keeping a distance. There is no need to gather a group of incompatible people together and force a smile." Nanqiao said, looking away from the book, and staring at Taohua.
"I understand, sister-in-law" Nanqiao's words awakened Taohua
Yes, that was her mother, not her sister-in-law. In the past, she only thought about the family getting together happily, but she never thought about whether her sister-in-law was happy with the attitude of her eldest brother and mother.
At present, keeping a proper distance is the best state.
"Sister-in-law, I'm going to help Xiaoran and Xiaoche with their homework."
"Okay," Nanqiao nodded in response. Seeing Taohua's clear face, he must have known what was going on. He smiled knowingly, lowered his eyes and continued reading.
After thinking this through, Taohua stopped being so stubborn. She smiled and stood up, put the Chinese textbook back on the shelf, and sat at the desk to check Xiaoran and Xiaoche's homework.
After dinner, Taohua and Aunt Zhou cleaned up the table, chatted with Aunt Zhou in the living room for a while, and then went to rest. She didn't mention going home the whole time... Aunt Zhou looked puzzled. Taohua couldn't have come back just to chat with her...
"Taohuaer, you came back today just to chat with Aunt Zhou?" Aunt Zhou muttered to herself for a long time but couldn't figure it out. Finally, she couldn't help but ask.
As soon as Aunt Zhou said this, Nanqiao burst out laughing. Taohua paused, glanced at Nanqiao with an unnatural look, smiled awkwardly at Aunt Zhou, and rolled her eyes, trying to find excuses for herself.
"Just... nothing happened at school, so I came back..."
"Is that so?" Aunt Zhou heard Nanqiao's smile and knew there must be something going on. But Taohua didn't want to talk about it, so she didn't ask any more.
"Oh, by the way, sister-in-law, can you lend me your car for the weekend?" Taohua suddenly remembered something and quickly changed the subject to talk to Nanqiao.
"I promised to give it to you. You can arrange it yourself. The car and the car keys should be over there." Nanqiao suddenly thought of something and asked, "Have you finished practicing driving?"
"I've practiced well and I'm very stable. The people my brother asked to teach me how to drive said that I didn't look like a novice. That day was my first time driving on the road by myself, so I was a little excited." Taohua scratched her head embarrassedly.
