"Aunt Xu, are Mom and Dad home?"
As soon as Su Jingjing stepped into the courtyard, she saw Xu Ma coming out of the house.
Xu's mother was stunned for a moment before she realized what she meant, then smiled and quickly replied, "She's at home."
"Madam has been talking about you these past few days, come in quickly."
Su Jingjing nodded and led the child into the living room.
The next second, An'an and Yuanyuan broke free from her hand and ran inside, calling out, "Grandpa and Grandma."
Chen Shufang looked delighted and quickly hugged the two children, kissing their cheeks.
He asked gently, "Do you miss Grandma?"
"I want to."
An'an and Yuanyuan replied in their childish voices.
"Cough cough cough..."
Li Yuan walked down the stairs with his hands behind his back, frowning. "Don't you miss Grandpa?"
"Grandpa, Yuanyuan misses you so much."
The little guy turned around and ran into his grandfather's arms, hugging his leg and acting all cute.
An'an remained silent, staring intently at her grandfather.
Li Yuan instantly dropped his cold expression, carefully lifted them onto his lap, and savored the joy brought by the two little bundles of joy.
"Dad, they've gotten fatter and they'll put pressure on your legs."
Su Jingjing gently reminded them that the two children had visibly gained weight after being fed for several months.
"It's fine, I can carry one in each arm without any problem." Li Yuan waved his hand. "What brings you back today?"
After teasing the little dumpling, he finally looked up at Su Jingjing.
Although he didn't pay special attention to his daughter-in-law's business, every one of his comrades who met him praised his daughter-in-law for being capable.
He had never been proud of the achievements of the Han brothers in his life, but this time he was truly proud.
Su Jingjing chuckled and said, "Dad, I'm taking a day off today, so I brought the two kids home to visit."
Li Yuan nodded in satisfaction; his daughter-in-law was becoming more and more capable.
Once the two children arrived at the old house, they stopped clinging to Su Jingjing and went out to play with their grandfather, making the old man in the courtyard laugh heartily.
Upon hearing that her sister-in-law had arrived, Li Yuehuan immediately flew down from upstairs.
He hugged Su Jingjing's neck tightly and said enviously, "Sister-in-law, your skin is so fair and rosy, how do you take care of it?"
Su Jingjing didn't hide anything, "This, I usually mix pearl powder, milk and egg white to make a face mask, and I apply it every few days for about 15 minutes each time, which can make my skin white, delicate and smooth."
"If you want one, your sister-in-law will give you a bottle another day."
"Okay, okay, thank you, sister-in-law."
Li Yuehuan mustered her courage and gently pinched Su Jingjing's skin; it was indeed smooth and tender.
Chen Shufang asked her daughter to sit down, pointed to her head, and said, "Your sister-in-law is so busy, she doesn't have time to make you a face mask."
"Mom, it's okay. This stuff isn't complicated to make. I'll give a bottle to everyone in the family later."
Good things should be shared among family members, and she understood that her mother-in-law didn't want her to work so hard.
Chen Shufang bluntly instructed her daughter, "When you have time, go help out at your sister-in-law's shop, don't go out playing all day long."
Li Yuehuan said "Oh," indicating that she wasn't going out to play; she was going to find Lu Shen.
However, she dared not say it.
Chen Shufang looked troubled and hesitated as she looked at Su Jingjing, "Jingjing, there's something I want to discuss with you?"
Su Jingjing said softly, "Mom, just say what you want to say."
"It's like this, Mom has a few good friends who heard that you opened a clothing store and they all want to order clothes from you. Do you think you could give them a discount?"
Su Jingjing knew that if her mother-in-law said that, it must be because she was a close friend.
He leaned over and patted her hand. "Don't worry, Mom, I'll give them the best price."
"Wouldn't that make you lose money?"
Chen Shufang, on the contrary, became worried.
"Mom, no, that won't happen."
Su Jingjing suddenly remembered the purpose of her visit today. "Mom, Huanhuan, it's almost Chinese New Year. Let me take your measurements and make you two sets of clothes."
This time, Li Yuehuan didn't dare to speak first.
Chen Shufang was naturally happy that her daughter-in-law had personally designed her frown line. "Won't this increase your workload?" she asked.
"Mom, this won't take too long."
Seeing that her mother's tone had softened, Li Yuehuan quickly said, "Sister-in-law, I want it. Why don't you come and take my measurements first?"
Su Jingjing picked up her notebook and got up to get busy.
At dinner time, Li Hanting drove over from the military base.
The family of four stayed in the old house for one night and left after having breakfast the next day.
Li Hanting sent the two children directly to the training class.
At the entrance of the training center, the children kept pestering their parents, unwilling to go inside.
Most of these children come from well-off families, and their parents have high expectations for them, hoping they will succeed.
As soon as An'an and Yuanyuan got out of the car, they waved goodbye to their parents. Although there was affection in their eyes, they tried their best not to show it.
In comparison, they are really well-behaved.
Parents nearby took them as role models and used them to educate their own children.
For a moment, An'an and Yuanyuan became the focus of the entire event.
Yuanyuan was still in a daze, so An'an quickly took her sister's hand and led her upstairs.
Su Jingjing leaned against the window, watching the small figures of the brother and sister from behind, and couldn't help but chuckle.
Li Hanting brushed a strand of hair away from her ear. "Wife, what are you laughing at?"
Su Jingjing didn't let the man drive until the child went upstairs.
"Aren't An'an and Yuanyuan a little too sensible?"
The children are at an age where they are very mischievous, but sometimes all she needs to do is give them a look, and they will behave obediently.
Li Hanting turned his head away. "Wife, they are just worried about you and can't bear to see you suffer."
