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

"Yes, this is how my siblings and I show our respect to our grandmother."

Li Tian pulled out the safety buckle from her neck.

"Grandma, Grandma also accepted my jade pendant and even had someone make a few peace amulets. My brother and I both have them."

Ye Zhao smiled through her tears.

She knew that Li Tian wasn't showing off the safety amulet, but rather wanted her to accept it without worry.

"I understand your filial piety, so I'll accept the gifts. They're still yours."

Li Tian and the others didn't pay any attention to what he said.

Grandma's things will naturally belong to them in the future.

Lee Seungri patted his grandson; it had been a long time since anyone had played chess with him, it was time to have a good game.

He pulled Li Muchen away.

Ye Zhao didn't leave, leaving only the grandmother and granddaughter. They still had a lot to say to each other.

"Tian Tian, ​​Zhu Nan's mother came back for the Chinese New Year."

Li Tian was taken aback for a moment, but quickly sat down quietly next to her grandmother.

Whether Zhu Nan's mother is sad or not, Zhu Nan is gone, and it doesn't matter anymore.

Seeing that Li Tian was not interested and did not even seem to want to inquire, Ye Zhao did not elaborate further.

But since we've mentioned it, we should at least mention the ending.

"Zhu Nan's mother sued the Zhu family, but because the forensic doctor determined that Zhu Nan committed suicide, no case was filed."

"Zhu Nan's father was forced to transfer to civilian work a long time ago, and Zhu Nan's mother went to his workplace to make trouble several times. In fact, apart from affecting Zhu Nan's father's career advancement, there was nothing else they could do to him."

"If there is any retribution, it's that when Zhu Nan's mother was making a scene, that young woman somehow miscarried."

"When the matter escalated, Zhu Nan's mother went abroad again."

"Anyway, the Zhu family has been causing trouble one wave after another this year."

Li Tian pursed her lips, not wanting to comment on who was right and who was wrong.

After all the fighting, it ultimately resulted in both sides suffering losses.

Ultimately, two innocent young lives became their victims.

Ye Zhao just felt that Li Tian cared about Zhu Nan and should know these things, but fearing that the child would be uncomfortable, she quickly changed the subject.

"Your Uncle Xiang is getting married in February, which will be another day for our Li family to reunite."

Li Tian smiled.

Li Yuanxiang is getting married too; time really flies.

"Where should we hold the ceremony? Are we going back to our hometown?"

Ye Zhao nodded.

"Yuanxiang is your second grandfather's youngest son. Your second grandfather insisted on holding the ceremony in his hometown. Your grandfather also wanted to go back and see, and this time no one could persuade him otherwise."

Li Tian was quite understanding.

Li Shengli had wanted to go back to his hometown for a long time, but for various reasons, he hadn't been able to go back.

He was determined to go back for his nephew's wedding.

Ye Zhao touched Li Tian's hair.

"You don't have a long holiday in February, so you don't need to go back with us."

"It will take us at most a week to travel back and forth."

Li Tian nodded.

She and Li Muchen are both grown up, and Zhang Sao takes care of their daily lives at home.

Grandpa and Grandma are away for a week, it's not a big problem.

"Then Grandma can rest assured and go back with Grandpa. We're both fine in the wild, so there's nothing to worry about in our own home."

Ye Zhao smiled and nodded.

Li Tian didn't suggest that Chang Yuan move in, so she didn't bring it up again.

The grandfather and grandson chattered on and on, each having a lot to say.

Ye Zhao helped Li Tian pack her luggage and gave her an oil-paper umbrella that Li Siwen had brought.

"Your aunt said it was made by an old craftsman; it's sturdy and beautiful, and she wouldn't even use it to shield herself from the rain."

Li Tian took it and slowly opened it.

The umbrella has sturdy ribs and an elegant canopy.

This bamboo umbrella is so pretty, it's more like a prop for a photoshoot, but she couldn't bear to use it on a rainy day.

"When spring arrives and the flowers bloom, holding up a bamboo umbrella like this in the peach blossom grove will surely make you look like a fairy who has stepped out of a painting."

Listening to Li Tian's description, Ye Zhao also imagined that beautiful scene.

It's not just a figment of my imagination; it's as if this beautiful scene has always remained deep in my memory.

She was once a young and vibrant girl.

It's just that too much time has passed, and the memory has become somewhat hazy.

But looking at Li Tian's beautiful face, the memory completely overlapped with the person in front of him.

"Grandma will find you a tailor to make a school uniform like the ones I wore when I was in school. With this umbrella, it will look really classic and elegant."

Li Tian clapped her hands in delight, and was even a little impatient.

The grandfather and grandson, having talked themselves hoarse inside the house, moved their conversation back to the living room.

Li Tian sat cross-legged on the sofa, eating dried fruit and chatting and laughing with Ye Zhao.

Ye Zhao never restricted them in any particular way, nor did she nag them about having to do this or that.

As long as you don't act rudely in front of strangers, that's fine.

A home should be warm and inviting, full of life.

While things were warm and friendly on one side, tensions were running high between Li Shengli and his grandson.

A standoff is essentially a confrontation between two armies.

"Mu Chen, you're a professional, you should let me have my three sons."

"My hand slipped and I put it in the wrong place..."

"No, no, I slipped again, I want to put it here."

Li Muchen looked at his grandfather speechlessly.

This move is even worse.

Forget it, the sooner I die, the sooner it'll be over.

Li Muchen placed a white piece and captured six black pieces from Li Shengli.

Lee Seungri felt a pang of heartache upon seeing this...

"Honey, you two go back inside and chat. The noise is making my head spin."

Ye Zhao rolled her eyes.

"Go to the study; no one will bother you there."

Li Tian giggled.

"Grandpa, our presence here will affect not only you but also my brother, but then again, why are you the only one being affected?"

"That shouldn't be the case!"

Li Shengli moved his lips, but as if he hadn't heard Li Tian's words, he didn't respond.

Looking at the piece his grandson had just placed, he held the black piece and pondered.

A minute or two later, the black pieces were placed on the board.

Li Muchen shook his head and placed a piece on the board.

"Grandpa, you lost."

He left as soon as he finished speaking.

They left without looking back.

Li Shengli looked at Li Tian.

"Tian Tian, ​​would you like to play a game with Grandpa?"

Li Tian nodded while chewing on something.

She's not very good at chess, and she's not addicted to it.

But it will still rain.

When it comes to spending time with the elderly, she wouldn't be as ruthless as Li Muchen.

Winning or losing doesn't matter, just be happy.

Playing chess with Li Tian made Li Shengli more happy, and he even regained some of his confidence.

"Tian Tian, ​​does your brother usually have friends?"

Li Tian smiled upon hearing this.

Besides concern, why does this remark also carry a hint of sourness?

"I have a very close relationship with Shen Yi, and I can also get along well with Yuan Jun. I also have some classmates I'm quite close to."

Li Shengli nodded slightly.

"It's good that he has friends. I'm really afraid that he'll offend people everywhere because of his stubbornness."

Li Tian glanced at her grandfather, who was speaking in a very serious manner.

They say old people are like children, and it's so true.

It's just that I lost a game of chess because I was less skilled, is it really that big of a deal?

"Grandpa, my brother is already at a professional level. Playing against him is to improve yourself, right? Otherwise, why bother getting humiliated!"

promote?

Li Shengli liked hearing those words.

"Yes, yes, yes, we should learn until we die and always have an upward-looking heart."

Ye Zhao and Li Tian exchanged a smile, neither of them calling out Li Shengli's words.
