Zhou Yuyuan fell silent for a mont, her gaze shifting silently to the small fish swimming in the pond.
It seed like she understood sothing.
Feeling a mix of amusent and helplessness, she gently rubbed the head of the young child and said, "Alright, Grandma will have soone make it for you now."
As Zhou Yuyuan walked away, Sui Yu, Ye Anning, and the others instinctively turned their attention to the innocent-looking child.
Just a mont ago, they were thinking of petting and interacting with it, but now they were going to cook it?
Unaware of the situation, Sui Yan continued to hold his face and diligently counted the small fish in the pond.
Ti Zi, standing nearby, called out a couple of tis, and sure enough, the child had similar thoughts.
anwhile, Sui Yan continued to gaze eagerly at the group of fish. She pursed her lips and turned around, chasing after her grandmother.
Ye Anning exclaid, "A Yan, where are you going? Don't run so fast!"
Sui Yan obediently stopped and waited for her brother and sister. The young child took the initiative to hold her sister's hand and said, "Sister, I still want to eat at!"
Ye Anning was sowhat helpless. "Do you want to tell Grandma that you want braised pork?"
The child's eyes lit up, nodding eagerly.
Sui Yu imdiately picked up her sister and said, "Then let's go."
The five of them, along with a wolf, walked leisurely through the courtyard, heading straight for the kitchen.
In the quaint kitchen, Zhou Yuyuan stood in front of the stove, personally in charge of cooking.
Just as she was about to bring the fish over, she turned around and saw a young child leaning over the table where the semi-finished dish was placed, drooling in anticipation.
"Little one, why did you co over? Are you hungry?"
Sui Yan pointed at a plate with her small finger and asked, "Grandma, can I eat that braised pork later?"
The child seed extrely hungry, and Zhou Yuyuan felt her heart ache. "Little one, that dish isn't ready yet. Grandma will make it for you right away. Why don't you have so snacks with your brother and sister to fill your stomach first?"
Sui Yan patted her own little belly and said, "Okay!"
Zhou Yuyuan didn't rush the group of children out of the kitchen. Instead, she had so plates of snacks brought over for them to enjoy at a nearby table.
She wiped her hands with a handkerchief and asked the children, "Little ones, what else do you want to eat? Quickly tell Grandma."
Sui Yan was the first to raise her hand and said, "Grandma! Sister likes to eat spare ribs!"
Ye Anning couldn't help but give her sister a big hug when she heard her favorite food being ntioned.
Zhou Yuyuan smiled and tapped the child's forehead. "Why does the little one know so clearly what her sister likes?"
Sui Yan leaned close to her grandmother's ear and whispered in a low voice, "Grandma, A Yan noticed it secretly!"
Ye Anning heard it clearly and found the child's words amusing, yet also heartwarming.
Sui Yu, Sui Zhi, and Qiao Ze, holding their vinegar jars, drank heartily. "A Yan, do you know what your brother likes to eat?"
Sui Yan scratched her head in confusion. "Huh? Brother..." The young child pondered for a mont and firmly said, "Brother is a picky eater! He doesn't like anything!"
Sui Yu sighed and said, "..." Suddenly forced to be picky about food?
Zhou Yuyuan casually tapped the heads of three boys and said, "You can't be picky eaters anymore. What if you teach your little sister bad habits?"
Sui Yu replied, "Yes, I understand."
The atmosphere here was cheerful, with the whole family enjoying themselves. As for Liu Hua...
She looked at the man outside the door with a black expression on her face and asked, "Why are you here?"
Xu Yi raised the bags in his hand and said, "Little Yu and the others said you were ho alone and might not eat, so they asked to check on you."
Liu Hua blocked the doorway and said, "Who said I was ho alone?"
Xu Yi remained unfazed and said, "A Man went out shopping, right?"
Liu Hua gritted her teeth and asked, "What did those brats say to you?"
Xu Yi's eyes twinkled with amusent. "They said I beca number one in a second."
Liu Hua avoided his gaze and said, "I was just fooling the old folks. Don't take it seriously."
Xu Yi's tone was serious. "But I already took it seriously."
Liu Hua tightened her grip on the doorfra and struggled for a while before sighing, "Fine, co in."
Xu Yi also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and smiled. "So, does that an I really succeeded in winning your heart?"
Liu Hua lay on the sofa without a care, saying, "You make it sound as if you're soone undesirable. And winning my heart? Please."
Xu Yi arranged the things he brought, one by one, and said, "Aren't I undesirable? Otherwise, why did it take you so long to agree to ?"
Liu Hua closed her eyes and said, "Don't change the subject. You know why I didn't agree to you before."
Xu Yi fell silent for a mont and then said, "Now it seems unreliable to talk about guarantees. How about I start pursuing you again, until all your friends and those brats around you accept ?"
Liu Hua didn't respond, she just covered her eyes with her arm.
It was a long ti later, so long that Xu Yi thought she had fallen asleep, when she finally said slowly, "Okay."
Sui Family Mansion
Sui Yan held a small bowl specially prepared for her by her grandparents and looked at the table full of delicious food with shining eyes.
Seeing the drool on the little brats' mouths, Zhou Yuyuan directly picked up a piece of braised pork for her and said, "Brat, eat more at."
Sui Yan nodded vigorously and said, "Okay!" The little brat's skill with chopsticks was still not very proficient, and it was a bit difficult for her to pick up the braised pork for everyone. "Let's eat together!"
Ye Anning picked a boneless piece of fish for the little brat and said, "Sui Yan, didn't you want to eat braised fish just now? Here you go!"
Sui Yan looked confusedly at the plate of fish and asked, "Sister, why does this fish look different from the pretty little fish in the pond?"
Ye Anning wiped the sauce from the corner of the little brat's mouth with a handkerchief and said, "The little fish in the pond are just for looking at, you can't eat them."
Sui Yan lowered her head and took a big bite of braised pork, getting so sauce on her face again. Her face had an expression of "I understand now" as she puffed out her cheeks and mumbled, "Sister, Sui Yan understands!"
Ye Anning poked the little cub's cheek and said, "Ah Yan, you're being too perfunctory!"
Sui Yan looked at his sister in confusion, thinking she was praising him, and replied, "Sister is right!"
The people present were chard by the ignorant yet adorable little cub, and couldn't help but shower him with treats.
By the ti the little cub returned ho with his father, it was already late in the evening.
Sui Zhenxiong furrowed his brows and said, "Stay at ho and rest. It's too late to go back now."
Sui Jinhong was also a bit conflicted, but Sui Yu spoke up, "Grandpa, Mom will worry if Ah Yan isn't by her side. Her ntal condition hasn't been stable, but it's been slowly improving recently. So it's better for us to go back."
Zhou Yuyuan was worried about Liu Hua and said, "Hasn't your mother seen a psychologist? Can you kids handle it? Why don't we move near you?"
