The children gradually came out, and the entrance was finally less crowded, with empty seats available in the front row.
Su Jingjing and her mother-in-law walked forward and just saw the two little ones walking towards them hand in hand. An'an had two shoulder bags on her shoulders, and Yuanyuan was carefree, jumping and skipping happily.
“An'an and Yuanyuan are here.”
Chen Shufang's eyes lit up, and she waved and called out loudly.
The two children looked over curiously, their eyes filled with surprise, and smiles gradually spread across their faces.
"Brother, it's Grandma."
Li Cheng'an was wondering why his mother and grandmother were both at the school gate when his younger sister grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the school gate. Before he could think too much, he was already at the school gate.
"Oh, Mom, are you here to pick Yuanyuan up from school too?"
Li Yuanyuan was very happy tonight. Her grandma and mom came to pick her up together. It was all because she was short that she didn't see her mom earlier.
She wrapped one arm around her mother's neck and then pressed her cheek against her grandmother's.
Chen Shufang carried the little one to a less crowded area and continued Su Jingjing's words, "Grandma came here today to play with you all. Are you happy?"
"I'm so happy, Grandma is so kind."
The adults didn't reveal their secrets to the children.
Besides, Yuanyuan is a bit dim-witted and wouldn't notice.
"Here, give the schoolbag to Mom."
Watching her mother-in-law and the little one playing together, Su Jingjing's face was full of satisfaction.
"Mom, the backpack isn't heavy, I can carry it myself."
The mother and son were pulling and tugging at each other, neither wanting the other to suffer.
Although this wasn't the first time she'd heard her son call her "Mom," Su Jingjing was still overjoyed, feeling sweeter than if she'd eaten honey.
That's right, having two babies is like having a huge fortune.
Li Cheng'an really wanted to ask why his mother and grandmother were together, but looking at how the two of them were interacting, it seemed different from before.
"What's wrong?"
Su Jingjing noticed An'an's emotional fluctuations, and it was quite nice to talk to An'an back and forth now.
"Mom, what brings Grandma here?"
Su Jingjing immediately understood what An'an was thinking. She rubbed his head and smiled, "Grandma came here today to help Mom take care of you. Don't worry, we've made up, and Mom won't upset Grandma anymore."
At such a young age, he already has a lot to worry about.
"Let's go, my sister is calling us."
"good."
Li Cheng'an was relieved. He loved his grandmother and his mother and didn't want them to be unhappy.
Two children and two adults walked one after the other on the shady path, and the sounds of laughter could be faintly heard.
They quickly returned to the family compound.
By then, everyone had just picked up their children and returned home. Instead of rushing home to cook dinner, they gathered under the big tree and gossiped with great interest.
Upon seeing the dignified woman next to Su Jingjing, a look of surprise appeared on her face. Wasn't this Madam Li?
When did she and Su Jingjing become so close?
Chen Shufang took in the expressions of everyone present, exchanged a few pleasantries, and asked with a smile, "You haven't cooked yet, have you?"
Her elegance, honed by years of holding a high position, did not allow her to lose face.
"Yes...yes, is Madam Li planning to take her grandson to live with her?"
Once they came to their senses, someone immediately seized the opportunity to ask.
They couldn't think of any other reason besides this one.
Chen Shufang saw through their thoughts at a glance; it seemed that Jingjing had suffered a lot of grievances before.
"Not at all, I'm here to stay for the night."
"If there's nothing else, we'll head upstairs."
Ignoring the astonished looks of the crowd, she turned her head gently to Jingjing and said, "Jingjing, let's go. We still need to go back and make dinner for An'an and Yuanyuan."
"Okay, sure."
Su Jingjing responded lightly, knowing that her mother-in-law was trying to save face for her.
It wasn't until the group disappeared at the bottom of the stairs that everyone came to their senses.
"What, what's going on?"
Why is it different from before?
It's obvious that the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is even closer than that between a biological mother and daughter.
Who is spreading rumors?
No one responded; they were simply stunned as well.
After closing the living room door, Chen Shufang took Jingjing's hand and whispered after the two children had walked away, "Remember, you are the daughter-in-law of our Li family. Don't be afraid of women outside. However, they are just jealous and have no ill intentions. There is no need to hate them because of this."
After all, her youngest son's family is rooted here. As the wife of the regimental commander, as long as they are not too extreme, she shouldn't argue with them too much.
They will understand the reasoning behind this later.
"Mom, I understand what you mean."
Su Jingjing listened attentively to her mother-in-law's heartfelt words and benefited greatly from them.
Chen Shufang silently added another point to Jingjing's score in her heart. It seemed that this child wasn't so difficult to get along with.
"I brought some snacks over at noon. Go get them for An'an and Yuanyuan, and chat with them while you're at it. I'll go inside and cook."
"Mom, you haven't finished the snacks that Ah Ting brought back last time."
"Aren't you finished eating yet?"
Chen Shufang originally thought that her younger daughter-in-law had already taken it all for herself.
"Yes, I usually limit their snacks before meals."
Since Su Jingjing dared to bring it up, she wasn't afraid of her mother-in-law criticizing her behind her back.
Chen Shufang nodded in agreement, "It's true that we shouldn't let them eat snacks before meals. This is a good habit. I have complete confidence in entrusting An'an and Yuanyuan to you."
That's definitely the case. The Li family has no shortage of food and drink, but they are afraid that their children will become spoiled and develop bad habits.
"Then go and read a book with them for a while."
