The little dumpling is five and a half years old, which made his father so angry that his head split

Li Muchen was still somewhat wary of Shen Yi, but his attitude had also undergone a fundamental change.

After all, they were people I had genuinely helped.

I don't want my enthusiasm to be wasted on feeding dogs.

"I'll go see Shen Yi tomorrow, so that brat won't overthink it."

Li Tian smiled and patted the young man.

"I couldn't have gotten it."

Seeing that Li Tian didn't care at all, Li Muchen also showed a happy smile.

After thinking it over carefully, Ye Zhao said to Li Muchen, "We older people don't eat much at night. Why don't we invite Mr. Shen over on Sunday noon? We can have a good chat then."

The guest is the host.

Unless the guests are truly unable to make arrangements, we will respect the host's wishes.

"Okay, Grandma, I will pass that message on."

Li Shengli glanced at Ye Zhao.

"You'd like to invite Little Zhou to come sit down?"

Ye Zhao smiled. After living together all their lives, they still had this tacit understanding.

It was because of these little moments of tacit understanding that she was still very happy despite marrying a rough and uncultured man.

"If there's an opportunity to have dinner with some prominent figures in the medical field, I'm sure she'd be interested."

The brother and sister exchanged a glance.

I learned another trick.

Don't be afraid to trouble others, but when there are benefits to be gained, you should also think of the other person. Mutual benefit is the key to strengthening friendship.

You helped me, and I'll give you money; it's just a transaction.

Once the transaction is complete, there will be no further entanglements.

Ye Zhao didn't rush to call Zhou Lijun; she would wait until Grandpa Shen made a decision before informing him.

It's not good if things keep changing.

It was already late autumn, and the evening wind was still a bit chilly on my face.

The wind also occasionally carried withered branches and fallen leaves.

There was a distinct sense of desolation.

The family of four only took a short break to digest their food before heading home.

Ye Zhao put a hat on Li Shengli and covered his neck with a thin scarf.

As people grow old, they become less able to withstand the hardships of life.

After the two children returned, they took their water cups and went back to their room to study.

Li Shengli turned the TV volume down to the lowest setting. Because of his poor eyesight, he didn't read or write at night.

Seeing that the weather was not good, Ye Zhao asked Zhang Sao to move all the chrysanthemums that were still blooming in the yard into the house.

A lot of trimming and pruning.

Flowers bloom and fade in their own time.

Chrysanthemums are alright; they are perennial plants, and as long as they are properly cared for, they will sprout new buds again next spring.

In autumn, another period of prosperity arrives.

The next day at noon, Li Muchen planned to have lunch before going to find Shen Yi.

As a result, Shen Yi, carrying a lunchbox, shamelessly approached them.

"Oh, I've always been curious about what you guys eat for lunch, but I was too shy to come over since we weren't close before."

The brother and sister exchanged a glance.

We're not that familiar with each other yet.

But since they've expressed a desire to befriend him, it's not appropriate to simply drive them away.

"Sit down."

Shen Yi sat down with the noodles from the cafeteria in his hand.

He even generously opened the canned food jars he had brought.

"My aunt makes really delicious chili sauce. Without it, I can't even eat the school food."

"Do as you please."

The brother and sister each dutifully poured a little bit of their bottles into the lunchboxes.

They didn't use the spoon they were already eating with to scoop it up.

Shen Yi glanced at Li Muchen's lunchbox.

Shredded potatoes, meatballs, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Although it's a very simple home-style dish, it looks very appetizing.

Looking at my noodles again, even with the chili sauce, I had no appetite at all.

"If I had known you were eating so well, why would I have bothered coming here to suffer?"

Li Muchen didn't look up, but still replied.

"Since you have a housekeeper, you can bring your own meals."

Grandpa didn't mention it, so naturally he wouldn't have thought of these things.

The grandfather and grandson, both single, lived a rather rough life.

Watching the brother and sister chew and swallow with gusto made my mouth water.

There really aren't all the same foods.

Once you've seen something good, you can't eat anything bad anymore.

Shen Yi glanced at their insulated containers.

"Where did you buy these lunchboxes?"

Friendship Shopping Mall.

Shen Yi had heard of it, but had never been there.

Studying medicine is very tough, and he spent all his spare time memorizing medical books and learning about herbs.

During holidays, his grandfather would also take him into the mountains to collect medicinal herbs.

It's not that we're short of medicinal herbs, but rather that we want him to see the growing environment of the herbs in person.

The medicinal properties are directly related to the growth environment.

As for daily life, Grandpa's requirements were very low; he just wanted to eat and dress comfortably.

Although the nanny they hired took good care of them, she was still an outsider and wouldn't make any decisions on her own.

"Don't laugh at me, but I can count the number of times I've been to a shopping mall on my fingers in my entire life."

Li Tian looked up at Shen Yi.

Thinking about it, this might be the difference between not having a grandmother by your side.

They have plenty of money, but nobody cares about these things.

"We have another one at home, I'll bring it to you tomorrow."

Shen Yi thanked him repeatedly.

The grandfather and grandson are not short of money, and they receive many valuable gifts from others. They are willing to give money or gifts and are not afraid of taking advantage of others.

Because we can afford to pay it back.

Li Muchen swallowed the last bite of rice and then opened his thermos to drink some warm water.

They waited until they had swallowed all the rice before getting down to business.

My maternal grandparents would like to invite your grandfather to lunch on Sunday. Is that convenient for him?

Shen Yi nodded, but did not reply immediately.

He cannot overstep his bounds.

"Could you give me a call? I'll have my grandfather personally reply to the invitation tonight."

Li Muchen readily gave his home phone number.

Shen Yi had accompanied his grandfather in and out of many large compounds, and looking at this phone, he had a general understanding of the Li family's situation.

Grandpa is quite old, and although he doesn't care much about daily food and clothing, he is very understanding.

Otherwise, no matter how skilled one is in medicine, it won't be easy to establish oneself in the capital.

Grandpa generously passed on all his knowledge to Shen Yi.

No longer pretending or acting, Shen Yi exudes a strong sense of family tradition, and his gaze towards Li Tian is naturally more upright and honest.

They both felt very comfortable.

Because they weren't familiar enough with each other yet, Li Tian, ​​though curious about how the old master of the Shen family would deal with Shen Yi's stepmother, ultimately held back.

I didn't ask.

After Li Tian finished eating, Li Muchen took two insulated containers and pulled Shen Yi away.

It's inappropriate for him to go wash the tub, leaving Shen Yi and Li Tian alone together.

Li Tian strolled around, waiting for Li Muchen.

After they returned, they chatted and laughed as they went back to their respective classrooms.

When Li Tian took out the doll she used as a pillow from the drawer, she unexpectedly brought out a letter with her.

She must have slipped it in when she went out to eat.

Boys this age are so energetic!

Li Tian clicked her tongue a few times.

I tore open the seal and opened the letter.

Even love letters need to be verified before being handed over to the teacher for processing.

Surprisingly, the letter was written by Miao Luo.

I wrote two long articles.

The girl was confused and didn't know what had happened to their friendship. Was it just because she kindly helped deliver a letter?

Regardless of the quality of the writing, Li Tian felt Miao Luo's genuine emotions.

She wanted to sleep, so she didn't reply.

Have a good talk with her during your free time between classes.

Even if we can't go back to being as close as before, we can't let the young girl's emotions become more sensitive.
