Li Hanting stood outside the door giving a report, his voice cold, "Reporting to the commander, Li Hanting has arrived."
"Enter."
Gu Qingyun put down the military blueprints in his hand, got up and walked around to the table.
When he saw Han Ting's indifferent expression, he patted his shoulder lightly and laughed heartily, "You don't need to be so serious, kid. Let's not talk about business today, just have a chat."
"Let's sit on the sofa first."
Han Ting was a role model in the compound since childhood. Not only was he good at studying, but he also resolutely joined the army when he grew up. Without Lao Li's help, he rose to the position of regimental commander in just a few years. He is a promising young man.
They were brothers who grew up together, but Shao Kai insisted on going out to do business, and was busier than his father all year round.
After years of beatings and scoldings, the brat remained unmoved and resolutely refused to join the army, so Gu Qingyun gradually lost heart.
He's now hoping his brat will bring home a grandson or granddaughter, but the brat doesn't even have a girlfriend and just wanders around outside all day, not doing anything productive.
Whenever Gu Qingyun saw the adorable twins An'an and Yuanyuan, she felt envious of Lao Li.
With Han Ting in the Li family, he will only rise to great heights. It's a pity that such a good young man is entangled with Su Jingjing, making the Li family's relationship so tense.
After considering for a moment, Gu Qingyun slowly spoke, "Han Ting, I heard that Su Jingjing is going to sell her two children? Is that true?"
He was skeptical. The family compound was a place where women gossiped, but if there was no trouble, why would others talk about it?
This matter hasn't reached Lao Li's ears yet, otherwise, given Shufang's personality, she would have immediately stormed over to Su Jingjing.
Li Hanting composed himself, still sitting upright. His green camouflage uniform accentuated his broad shoulders, and the buttons were meticulously fastened to the collar, as if keeping people at arm's length.
A deep, cold voice slowly rang out, "Uncle Gu, these are pure rumors. Su Jingjing has been treating the two children very well lately."
For some reason, Gu Qingyun felt that Han Ting's facial expression softened when he said those words.
It seems that his feelings towards Su Jingjing have changed. Could something interesting have happened to him while he was away from the army?
"Then I'm relieved."
Gu Qingyun didn't press further, knowing that Han Ting, being such a taciturn person, might not be willing to speak.
He still hoped that Su Jingjing would change, otherwise their marriage wouldn't last.
Every man's patience has its limits, and Han Ting was no exception.
After Han Ting left, Gu Qingyun had someone call Liang Haishan over.
Now, in the whole compound, his wife is the one with the most fiery temper. She spreads rumors and causes trouble every day, making the relationship between the neighbors tense.
That evening, Liang Haishan once again scolded his wife, and finally threatened that if she continued to talk nonsense, he would send her back to the countryside.
Su Jingjing was unaware of these matters, and the couple kept their arguments behind closed doors to avoid being laughed at by outsiders.
However, Wu Xiuying was scolded and things quieted down for a few days, but that's another story.
The following Monday, as soon as it was light, the two little ones opened their eyes and slipped out of bed.
When Su Jingjing returned from her run outside, she saw the two little ones standing side by side brushing their teeth and exclaimed in surprise, "An'an, Yuanyuan, why are you awake?"
It was only a little past six o'clock. Su Jingjing had been worried that she would be unable to get up today because she had played too wildly over the weekend.
Su Jingjing placed the freshly picked vegetables next to the kitchen stove, then continued curiously, "It's still early before school starts, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
An'an actually got up so early; it must have been tough on him.
Li Yuanyuan gulped down a few mouthfuls, quickly rinsing the white foam from her mouth, and then smiled, revealing two small dimples.
"Mom, I'm going to wear new clothes today."
She was too embarrassed to tell her mother that she had been talking to her brother about her excitement all night, which had kept him awake.
The little one has fair skin, and beneath its delicate, straight nose lies a pair of pink lips, small and rosy.
Su Jingjing couldn't resist the little one's big, watery eyes and couldn't help but reach out and stroke her forehead.
"Mom remembers, we'll wear it after breakfast."
An'an's eyes kept darting around, probably because she was also looking forward to wearing new clothes.
Su Jingjing ignored his arrogance and hurriedly made breakfast.
Today's breakfast was relatively simple: each person had a bowl of white porridge, an egg, and two small dishes of side dishes.
After the meal, the two children changed into new clothes, which immediately caught Su Jingjing's eye. It's true that clothes make the man, and gold makes the Buddha.
Previously, they were dressed in tattered clothes, which concealed their original spiritual aura.
I glanced at the shoes on those two little feet; they were quite nice, though a bit dirty. I'll wash them this weekend.
As far as I can remember, it was something that Li's mother asked someone to buy for the two children, so it must have been expensive.
Although their shoes were dirty, it didn't diminish the cuteness of the two little ones; they were definitely a princess and a prince.
Su Jingjing looked at Yuanyuan with a smile, "She's so pretty, where did this little beauty come from?"
This amused the little one, who immediately nestled shyly into his mother's arms.
"Yuanyuan is from my mother's family."
Her mother praised her; it was the first time the little one had been praised, so she was understandably a bit excited.
Su Jingjing treated the two children equally and didn't want An'an to feel disappointed. "Yuanyuan, don't you think your brother looks handsome in his clothes?"
"nice."
Li Yuanyuan is a loyal fan of her brother, how could she not praise him?
Li Cheng'an deliberately turned his head to the side, trying to hide his blush.
Time flew by, and it was almost time for the two little ones to go to school.
Su Jingjing quickly braided her daughter's hair into two braids, and finally, the two little ones happily went to school with their bags on their backs.
Not to mention going to school, as soon as I stepped out of the stairwell, I ran into Liang Dapang and Xiaoyun...
Liang Dapang screamed and immediately reached out to touch the fabric, "Wow, An'an, is this a new outfit?"
"It's so pretty, did your grandma buy it?"
Everyone knows that An'an has a wealthy grandmother who secretly gives him food from time to time at school.
Unlike me, when I'm hungry I can only endure it, or I can just drink water to fill my stomach.
Yan Xiaoyun, on the other hand, was more focused on Yuanyuan's pink dress, her eyes lingering on it and unable to look away.
The round dress is so pretty, just like Snow White from the story.
Yan Xiaoyun knew she could only be envious; her family didn't have any spare money to buy her new clothes.
Before Li Cheng'an could speak, the little guy couldn't help but defend his mother, "Big Fatty, it was my mom who bought it."
Liang Dapang was incredulous, then suddenly remembered that Yuanyuan seemed to have said something like that.
Did you buy it when you went shopping a couple of days ago?
"Um."
Suddenly, Liang Dapang also wanted to be An'an's mother's son, because he would not only have food, but also new clothes to eat.
I wonder if An'an's mother is still looking for a son?
