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

"Thank you, Grandma."

"Thank you, Grandma."

Li Tian chose the same title as Li Muchen.

We should properly address the old lady as "Grandma".

She just didn't like it. She had her own maternal grandmother, and she had tried to avoid her as much as possible in the past.

But it would be impolite not to call out like that now.

When a child is rude, the adult loses face.

Li Tian didn't court death.

Ms. Xiang, Chang Yuan's mother, laughed heartily after hearing this.

Overjoyed, he took off a gold bracelet from his wrist and gave it to Li Tian.

The bracelet was too large for Li Tian's small wrist, and it slipped off as soon as she let go.

Fortunately, Li Tian was quick and caught it in one go.

This bracelet is quite heavy, with exquisite patterns and is set with rubies...

Li Tian liked it very much.

However, in traditional Chinese social etiquette, one must politely decline.

Even if the giver is sincere, politely declining the gift fulfills the proper etiquette, allowing the recipient to accept it with a clear conscience and ensuring a pleasant experience for both host and guest.

Without this back-and-forth process, it would be impolite.

Neither side is saving face.

This is not pretentious or hypocritical, but rather a national culture that has been accumulated over thousands of years.

Born and raised here, not doing this is considered unsociable.

Few people are stubborn enough to refuse assimilation.

Most people were beaten down and reduced to one category.

Of course, children raised with strict and good family education are naturally raised to be well-mannered.

Whether someone is truly well-mannered is another matter entirely.

Li Tian used to dislike polite shoving, but after seeing how adults interact and get along...

They changed very cleverly, without needing to be severely punished.

"Grandma, I'm just a little kid, I can't handle this air of nobility."

As Li Tian spoke, she placed the bracelet in Ms. Xiang's hand.

Ms. Xiang takes very good care of herself. Not only is her face fair and youthful, but the skin on her hands is also delicate and smooth, unlike the hands of someone who does daily work, let alone someone who is over sixty years old.

In contrast, Ye Zhao was far inferior.

Ye Zhao was not bad-looking, but she went to northern Shaanxi at a very young age.

He suffered a lot during the revolutionary war years and did a lot of work himself.

After getting married, she worked tirelessly both at home and in other places, and raised three children on her own.

By the time you have the energy and resources to take good care of yourself, you're no longer young, and it's a bit too late.

Therefore, compared to Ms. Xiang, Ye Zhao bears more of the marks of time.

Ms. Xiang's smile remained unchanged, but her eyes held a more scrutinizing gaze.

The reason for giving Li Tian the gift was more out of affection for the child than out of liking for her.

She only had one daughter, Chang Yuan, and she devoted much more effort to her than to her sons.

They were carefully nurtured and cared for from a young age.

Chang Yuan is also a promising student; she loves reading, learning, and is multi-talented.

Before adulthood, I was afraid of being seduced by bad boys; after adulthood, I'm afraid of not finding a good man...

No one could have imagined that their carefully groomed daughter would be rejected by everyone, and after years of searching, she would end up choosing someone with a child...

But Chang Yuan likes it.

Their family couldn't bear to make things difficult for them.

Fortunately, Chang Yuan has good judgment.

Aside from being a widower with a child, Li Yuanchao is otherwise a hero who excels in every way.

Li's parents were kind, reasonable, and easy to get along with.

The Chang family is willing to grant their request.

It's been almost a year since they got married, and Chang Yuan is living a very comfortable life.

The Chang family was relieved.

Going forward, the two families should only grow closer and support each other.

Although they hoped that Chang Yuan would have a child of her own soon, they had no ill intentions towards Li Tian.

Li Tian, ​​nearly ten years old, is an outstanding individual in every aspect.

How many more years can I stay at home, and how much will it cost? It's not worth mentioning in terms of money.

Internal strife is the biggest taboo in a family.

What I fear even more is brothers fighting amongst themselves.

While it's difficult to treat someone else's flesh and blood as your own, you should never mistreat them.

It's easier to coax a child than an adult.

Pleasing the child is a way of pleasing the adults, and the cost is minimal.

This bracelet may seem like a casual gift, but it was actually carefully prepared.

I thought about it a lot, but it all happened in the blink of an eye.

Ms. Xiang then placed the bracelet in Li Tian's hand.

"Good child, Grandma loves you. You're her only granddaughter. If I don't give you to her, who will? Keep her safe."

Li Tian looked up at her grandmother.

Such an expensive gift can only be accepted after the adults in the family have given their permission.

Moreover, adults will have their own considerations regarding whether or not to accept it.

Thirty years ago, people observed how fathers respected their sons; thirty years later, people observe how sons respect their fathers.

Li Tian wasn't stunned by the heavy gold bracelet; she was just a granddaughter with no blood relation to her, not worth the old lady's extravagant spending.

As for whether there's anything else, that's up to Grandma to handle.

Ye Zhao smiled as she took the bracelet and examined it.

"Big sister, is this inlay craftsmanship from before the liberation? Little Tian Tian is too young to handle such an antique."

When she met someone who appreciated its value, Ms. Xiang smiled even more broadly.

"No matter how valuable it is, it's just something to wear and play with. It's the first time Tian Tian has come to visit, so it's perfect to give it to her."

Ye Zhao smiled and handed the bracelet to Li Tian.

"Hurry up and thank Grandma, and make sure you keep it safe."

Since she could accept it, Li Tian's smile became much more sincere.

She's still a child, and she doesn't need to repay the favor anyway.

Li Tian thanked him, but didn't offer any exaggerated compliments.

Even if she hasn't seen anything good before, she can't be frivolous, show her ignorance, or embarrass herself.

"Xiao Yuan, you take the two kids around and let them get acquainted with the family. Don't be too reserved with them, just make sure they're safe."

Ms. Xiang, along with Ye Zhao and Li Yuan, took their seats in the living room.

Chang Yuan took the two children away.

First, I led them on a tour of this magnificent little villa.

Although it looks old and hasn't been repaired much, it's probably just to maintain its mystery and low profile.

The interior, however, is exquisite and refined in every detail.

The first floor has a large living room, a study, a tea room, and even a sports equipment room.

The study room is very large and furnished like a library.

The shelves were filled with books.

Moreover, some of them are old thread-bound books, and the shelves of these books are covered with glass and locked, so they are not easily shown to the public.

After the catastrophe, many of them can probably be considered unique copies.

It is quite valuable.

Although this was Li Tian's first time here, he had already read quite a few books.

It has an inherent sense of warmth.

Chang Yuan didn't lead the two of them inside.

"Come and browse around later. If you find anything you like, you can borrow it to take home."

Li Tian nodded with a smile.

Li Muchen's eyes lit up.

Chang Yuan continued walking forward.

Before even entering the house, I could smell the aroma of tea.

"My family all enjoy drinking tea, and we like to read in the tea room."

The room has a traditional Chinese table and chairs, a very classic and traditional Chinese furniture arrangement.

The wood's grain and aroma also don't resemble ordinary pine.

Li Tian couldn't tell the material, but she could tell that the furniture had an exceptional quality.

A set of purple clay teaware was placed in the center of the table.

Against the wall is a cabinet with sliding glass doors.

Inside, you can see tea in various packaging styles.

The aroma of tea wafts out from here.

The area near the window is decorated more like a low couch from the pre-Qin era.

A withered lotus leaf is stuck in a white vase on the low table.

A guqin is waiting for someone to play it.

It has a very autumnal feel and a very artistic vibe.
