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

Ye Zhao placed the microphone on the table, turned around, and went out to call Li Tian.

Li Tian didn't want to show off, but her maternal grandmother wanted to hear her sing, and her paternal grandmother called her.

She had no choice but to go.

Ye Zhao held up the microphone for Li Tian, ​​indicating that she could speak.

Grandma, I miss you so much.

"My dear girl, Grandma misses you so much. I know you're starting school soon, so Grandma sent you a package of clothes, all the latest dresses."

My grandmother's soft, Jiangnan-accented Wu dialect was very pleasant to listen to.

No wonder Li Tian has so many beautiful dresses in her wardrobe; some of the styles are truly classic and would not be out of fashion even in later generations.

Li Tian sweetly thanked her, "Thank you, Grandma."

"Tian Tian, ​​sing 'Little Swallow' for your grandma. Your grandma always praises your singing."

Li Tian cleared her throat and began to sing with grace and poise.

"Little Swallow..."

He's becoming more and more skilled at singing, but his voice is so good that you never get tired of listening to it.

When Li Tian finished singing, applause rang out both inside and outside the microphone.

"Our Tian Tian sings so beautifully, so beautifully..."

Thinking of her daughter who died young, Nie Qian choked up and couldn't continue speaking.

"Tian Tian is so great!"

An elderly male voice came through the phone.

"Grandpa! Did I sing well?"

Old Ji patted his wife beside him and continued, "It sounds beautiful, very beautiful. You could perform on stage. Have you been eating properly and behaving yourself?"

"Yes, I'm a very good girl, Grandpa and Grandma, okay?"

"Our Tian Tian is so sensible. Your grandma and I are getting along very well. When we go to Beijing, we will definitely come to see you."

"Okay, okay!"

Ye Zhao didn't hear Nie Qian's voice for a while, so she took the microphone and told Li Tian to go out and play.

Nie Qian also calmed down and took the microphone.

"Ah Zhao, what are your thoughts on Tian Tian's upbringing?"

"I'm thinking of finding a vocal teacher for Tian Tian first, and then buying a piano."

Nie Qian had no objection to this arrangement.

After all, the child is still young, and the Li family has been very attentive to Li Tian.

"If you ask me, you should have bought a piano a long time ago. Even if the kids don't use it, you can still play it for fun."

Ye Zhao looked down at her fingers; it had been many years since she had touched the piano keys.

"When Tian Tian was little a few years ago, I didn't have much time for her, but now I can really start thinking about my leisure time."

"Ah Zhao, you've worked hard."

Ye Zhao chuckled, "Why would we need to say such things between us? I'm not complaining to you about anything."

"It's understandable to complain, isn't it? We live too far away to take care of Tian Tian."

Ye Zhao suddenly remembered Ji Yun's younger brother, "Has Ji Zheng's wedding date been set?"

"We've tentatively set it for the first month of next year, but we'll have to look into the exact date later. Now that we've settled the youngest one in, we can finally relax a bit." Nie Qian's voice gradually brightened with joy.

Ye Zhao offered her congratulations several times.

"Ah Zhao, I really hope you can come to Xiao Zheng's wedding."

Ye Zhao also wanted to see her in-laws and old friends, but they lived too far apart and it was not easy to meet.

"I'll try my best. Even if Lao Li can't go, I can still bring Tian Tian with me."

"Okay, whatever you want..."

Nie Qian was even happier.

"Silin's son gets along very well with Tiantian, so don't worry. Tiantian is sensible and accepts him like a brother."

Since Ye Zhao brought it up herself, Nie Qian felt relieved.

They were afraid that Li Tian wouldn't be able to tolerate the other children, and even more afraid that Li Tian would be wronged.

"That's because you have good upbringing."

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Xiao Bo has been renamed Li Zilong. From now on, he will be a child of the Li family."

"You did the right thing. Families like ours can afford to raise children; the more the merrier. Now that the policy has changed and we can only have one child, we're counting on them to support each other."

Nie Qian naturally wanted more people to protect Li Tian.

The amount of money that can be distributed is inevitably limited.

People are fundamental.

Family ties are hard to come by.

The two old friends started chatting and it went on and on for almost an hour before they finally stopped.

On Saturday morning, Li Siwen returned to school.

Since her luggage had already been sent over, Li Siwen took the bus by herself.

But she still called Zhang Qizhe and left a message at the dormitory building.

Whether or not he answers depends on his attitude.

If it's truly just her unrequited love, then there's no point in continuing this relationship.

She doesn't care for a relationship that's neither here nor there.

With Li Siwen gone, the Li family was left with only two elderly people and two young children.

But as long as there are children in the family, there will always be endless things to do.

Ye Zhao is never bored.

That afternoon, Ye Zhao also took some time to invite Zhu Nan's grandmother to her home and sent Li Shengli to take the children out to play.

After serving tea, snacks, and fruit, Aunt Zhang went to the kitchen on her own initiative.

Now that the venue is clean and tidy, there's naturally something to say.

"Old Ye, we've lived together for so many years, aren't we friends? Just say what you want to say."

"We old sisters are naturally friends. We invited you here because we want to have an open and honest talk with you."

Zhang Min nodded, a vague guess forming in his mind.

"Every girl dreams of a beautiful love story before marriage, imagining a life like in a fairy tale. But those of us who have been through it all know that daily life is all about the mundane things like firewood, rice, oil, salt, pots, and pans."

"Yuan Chao has been married and has a child. He has the advantages of being mature and steady, but he also has the disadvantage of being extremely realistic."

"Two good people may not be suitable for each other. Only those who can accept each other and are willing to tolerate each other can become a family. A happy marriage is only possible when both parties are compatible."

"Let's make things clear beforehand to avoid anyone feeling wronged or becoming a resentful couple later on."

Ye Zhao didn't mention Zhu Lingling at all, but she believed Zhang Min would understand.

They handed the initiative over to Zhu Lingling.

Zhu Lingling just needs to think it through herself.

Don't have too high expectations for love in this marriage, lest love turn into resentment.

"We, the old couple, can take care of Tian Tian for another ten years or so. It shouldn't be a problem."

Ye Zhao added a sentence.

Zhang Min originally thought Ye Zhao was going to subtly refuse the offer.

But judging from what she said, that's not the case at all.

Whether she is willing or not is entirely up to Zhu Lingling.

Zhang Min picked up his teacup, took a sip of water, and pondered repeatedly what Ye Zhao had just said.

"Most of the marriages of our generation were arranged by the organization. We had only met once or twice before getting married, so we didn't really know each other. But most of us still managed to support each other through most of our lives."

Ye Zhao nodded with a smile.

Zhang Min continued, "I've always admired Yuan Chao. He has the heroic spirit of the older generation, and his achievements are the result of his own hard work and dedication. It wasn't easy."

"Lingling is our only daughter, so she's inevitably a bit spoiled. She's always lived with us, and although she's not young, she's still quite immature and has all the typical girlish tendency to daydream."

"We all came from that era, so we understand."
