Chen Shufang left the family dormitory and went directly to the military kindergarten.
She had come many times, and even the gatekeeper knew she was Commander Li's mother, so he always treated her with great respect.
The gatekeeper greeted her respectfully, "Grandma An'an, are you here to see your two grandsons again today?"
Chen Shufang smiled and said, "Yes, Xiao Wu, come and pick them up to go home for lunch."
While Xiao Wu kept praising Chen Shufang for loving her grandson, he couldn't help but wonder to himself that he had never met An'an's mother and had heard that she was causing a ruckus in the family building all the time.
A little while later, some parents also came to the door to pick up their children.
Where there are women, there is gossip. They talk about their own families and then gossip about other families.
In short, they had endless topics to talk about until the school bell rang, at which point they quieted down and craned their necks to look inside.
Just then, a group of elementary school students came running towards the school gate like wild horses, chattering and making a ruckus. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to find your own child.
Li An'an carried two shoulder bags, held her younger sister's hand, and even used her hand to protect her, afraid that someone would bump into her.
"Brother, I can carry my own bag."
Li Cheng'an, being a typical straight man, really doesn't know how to care about people. "No need, it's too heavy. What if it makes you look shorter?"
"Hmph... Stinky brother, Yuanyuan is not short."
Li Yuanyuan pouted. When she saw her brother's height, she clearly lacked confidence and turned her head to the other side, sulking to herself.
She was born at the same time as her brother, but she's so short!
Not only is she short, but she's also a bit slow. She couldn't figure out the question the teacher asked her today, even after thinking about it for a long time, while her brother only needed to glance at it and immediately gave her the answer.
Are you angry?
Li Cheng'an felt that his younger sister seemed to have become more pretentious?
My younger sister used to be so well-behaved; she never rebelled against him.
"Okay, I didn't mean anything by it. If you eat more, you'll grow taller. And even if you don't grow as tall as me, I'll always protect you."
Li Yuanyuan still relied on her brother a lot, and couldn't bear to be angry with him. "Brother, you're so good to me!"
"Let's go home and have dinner."
"Um."
Going home for dinner after school has become their happiest moment, a stark contrast to before, when they were afraid of upsetting their mother and getting scolded or beaten again.
Upon seeing the two little ones, Chen Shufang waved happily, "An'an, Yuanyuan, Grandma is here."
The two little ones looked in the direction of the sound, their eyes sparkling, and murmured, "Grandma."
The next second, he excitedly ran over.
When Chen Shufang saw her beloved grandson weaving through the crowd, she was startled and hurriedly went forward to greet him.
"Run slowly, don't rush."
At this moment, the younger sister snuggled into her grandmother's arms, saying, "Grandma, Yuanyuan missed you so much."
Chen Shufang was surprised by her younger sister's sweet words. Why did Yuanyuan seem so much more cheerful?
Li Cheng'an, being more composed, stood obediently to the side, met his grandmother's eyes, and asked, "Grandma, why are you here?"
Grandma usually comes over during recess, but rarely after school.
Ignoring her curiosity, Chen Shufang ruffled An'an's hair and said with a kind smile, "Grandma has come to pick you and your sister up to go back to the mansion for dinner."
"And Grandpa misses you all too."
She didn't directly tell them to stay in the mansion from now on; she planned to bring her grandson home for dinner first, and then gradually reveal the truth.
Yuanyuan is a bit silly and doesn't think too much, but An'an is clever and mischievous, and even the slightest thing can arouse his curiosity.
Sure enough, Li Cheng'an sensed something was wrong; his grandmother's words had a hidden meaning.
Grandma and Mom haven't met yet, have they? Won't they explode like volcanoes?
When Li Yuanyuan heard that she was going to her grandmother's house for dinner, she felt conflicted. She missed her grandfather, but she also wanted to eat her mother's cooking.
"Grandma, can we go out for dinner later tonight?"
"Um...why?"
In the past, the two children were overjoyed to hear about going to see their grandfather, but now they seem to really want to go back to their ancestral home, or even go back to see Su Jingjing.
Li Yuanyuan beamed and praised her mother enthusiastically, "Grandma, Mom's cooking is so delicious, why don't you come and eat with us?"
Is Su Jingjing cooking?
Did she hear that right?
Isn't this woman a kitchen disaster? Are you sure she won't get diarrhea from eating this?
He looked up at his silent grandson, who nodded in response.
"Grandma has been cooking all week, and the food tastes pretty good. Dad also said it's delicious."
The little one looked up with bright, sparkling eyes and said, "Mmm, Grandma, it's really delicious."
Han Ting also said it was delicious?
Chen Shufang was now curious, as Han Ting rarely praised other people's cooking.
An'an seemed to have changed how she addressed Su Jingjing, and it sounded somewhat affectionate.
Could Su Jingjing have cast a spell on this father and his two sons? No, she has to go and see for herself.
"Okay, Grandma will go eat with you."
Family Building
Liu Yang handed the ticket to the regimental commander, glanced at the three people opposite him, and reminded the commander, "Commander, the leader's wife and two children are coming over."
Li Hanting subconsciously turned his head. Why is Mom here?
Liu Yang, with his keen sense of judgment, retreated, saying, "Commander, I'm going back for dinner now."
"Um."
The man gave a low reply, then strode towards them.
"Mom, did you go pick up the two kids?"
"Well, I had some time today, so I thought I'd come and take a look."
Seeing her son's handsome face, Chen Shufang was overjoyed.
I don't plan to talk about the bad things that happened today.
"By the way, your dad went back to the mansion. Why don't you bring the two kids home for a meal sometime?"
"Okay, sure."
I happen to have something to discuss with my father.
Li Yuanyuan interrupted after the adults finished speaking, saying in her childish voice, "Daddy, Grandma is coming to our house for dinner today."
Hearing his youngest daughter's words, Li Hanting was slightly taken aback. "Mom, you're coming over for dinner?"
My mother and Su Jingjing don't get along. Will they start arguing later?
"What, aren't you welcoming this old woman?"
Li Yuanyuan said sincerely, "Grandma is not old at all. Grandma is the second most beautiful."
"Haha, you have such a sweet tongue."
Chen Shufang gave her granddaughter a kiss, then belatedly asked, "Yuanyuan, who is the prettiest one?"
There was someone ahead of her in line?
"It's Mom."
Um… Chen Shufang was speechless.
No matter how vicious Su Jingjing is, she will always be the best in Yuanyuan's heart; mother and daughter are truly of one mind.
"You're back? That's perfect for us..."
The words "Dinner's ready" were barely on Su Jingjing's lips when she looked toward the door in shock, blinking hard. Why was her mother-in-law here again?
Li Hanting broke the silence, walked up to Su Jingjing and stood there, his voice low and husky, "Mom is coming to our house for lunch today."
Her tone was slightly ingratiating, hoping that Jingjing wouldn't give her a hard time, as the two children would be unhappy if they saw it.
Although Su Jingjing didn't know the reason, she nodded in agreement and said softly, "Oh, Mom, come in quickly."
"An'an, Yuanyuan, get Grandma a chair, I'll go wash another bowl and chopsticks."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the kitchen.
