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

Then classes resumed as normal.

Li Tian didn't concern herself with the rest, nor was it her business as a child.

He has a clear sense of right and wrong, but Guo Lin's upbringing is really problematic.

Of course, this has nothing to do with her anymore.

Li Tian didn't plan to tell Ye Zhao about this.

Saying it is useless; it will only make her worry unnecessarily.

But just because Li Tian didn't say anything doesn't mean Ye Zhao didn't know.

The news spread like wildfire throughout the entire compound.

"Tian Tian, ​​stay away from that kid Guo Lin from now on. It's not that we're afraid of him, it's just not worth getting angry with a kid like that."

"Beating him won't help; educating him is the responsibility of his parents."

Li Tian knew what was going on as soon as she heard it.

"Grandma, I understand. Yuan Jun stood up for me today; I didn't lay a hand on him."

Ye Zhao smiled and patted Li Tian's head.

Ye Zhao was happy to have friends who genuinely protected Li Tian.

Li Siwen is now able to move out of the house and sit at the large table for meals.

Seeing that her expression was relatively calm, Li Tian guessed that she must have come to terms with it.

If she can't even see things clearly, then she's really reaping what she sowed. She won't say another word about it again.

"Mom, it's almost your birthday, what would you like?"

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Whatever you want, as long as you mean it."

Li Siwen grinned, "It's easier to handle if there's a clear need; this is even more troublesome."

Li Tian thought for a moment, and realized there must be cake now.

But it is definitely expensive.

"Auntie, let's buy Grandma a birthday cake."

Li Siwen smiled and leaned her head closer. "You've got some nerve, sponsoring me some money?"

Li Tian headbutted Li Siwen back.

"How dare you covet my money?"

Li Siwen pouted.

"Tell me, I'm curious what you're going to prepare?"

Li Tian tilted her head and smiled, "It's a secret!"

She has already made up her mind, but she won't say it now.

"Wow, Tian Tian, ​​you've already decided! So, what should I give you?"

Li Zilong was troubled.

"What I do best is give you thoughtful gifts; Grandma will definitely love them."

Li Zilong seemed to understand, but he still felt confused.

"Dad, what are you giving Mom?"

Not wanting to make things difficult for the two younger ones, Li Siwen smiled and looked at Li Shengli.

Li Shengli buried his head in his food, pretending not to hear.

"dad?"

"dad!"

Unable to avoid being called by his daughter, Li Shengli had no choice but to raise his head.

"I'm penniless and can't buy anything, but I'll make a bowl of longevity noodles for your mother myself."

The old man was a very stingy bachelor; this was all he could offer.

With an expression that says, "Do whatever you want."

"Grandpa is amazing! This is the best gift."

Hearing his granddaughter's praise, Li Shengli's old face beamed with a deep, radiant smile.

"Grandpa, can I learn to make noodles from you? I can make them for Tian Tian later."

The three adults' eyes darted back and forth between Li Zilong and Li Tian.

These two little ones are so close!

"Li Tiantian, you're amazing! Your little brother learned to make noodles just for you. I admire you so much!"

Li Siwen's voice tinged with sadness as she said that, apart from her parents, no one had ever thought of making her a bowl of noodles.

Li Zilong scratched his forehead.

"Auntie, I'll make one for you too."

"I don't care if you're not the first one," Li Siwen said, looking aggrieved.

"It's okay, brother, I like it."

Li Tian patted Li Zilong's arm and then proudly raised her head at Li Siwen.

"Li Tiantian, you're just trying to make me angry."

Upon hearing this, Li Tian stuck out her tongue at Li Siwen.

They've put on an act that's sure to infuriate you to death.

"Okay, let's eat."

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Li Zilong felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders.

Li Shengli looked at Ye Zhao, "Now that the situation has stabilized, it's not your 90th birthday yet, so let's celebrate it as your 60th birthday. Should we have a grand celebration?"

Ye Zhao refused without even thinking.

"There's no need. We can just have a meal together as family. It's better to keep a low profile."

Li Shengli looked somewhat guilty.

"As long as you don't feel wronged."

Ye Zhao smiled and shook her head.

"What's there to feel aggrieved about? What's the use of hosting a banquet with dozens of tables full of guests, clinking glasses, and enjoying a moment of glory?"

"How many of those who came were truly offering their blessings? I still have to deal with them one by one, which is even more tiring."

"Besides, true friendships can't be built in this kind of setting."

Li Tian and Li Zilong listened attentively, and Li Siwen also listened attentively.

This is the subtle influence of family traditions and upbringing.

"What would you like to eat? Let's order a table from outside. Even family should celebrate a little more formally."

Everyone agreed with Li Shengli's proposal, and even Ye Zhao did not object.

"Grandma, I want to eat crab."

Li Siwen glanced at Li Tian, ​​"Crabs? You certainly know how to eat."

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "It's crab season, but we're not sure when they'll be delivered."

As long as there's food, that's fine.

As for which day to eat it, Li Tian didn't mind.

"Your maternal grandmother was from the South. Her family was well-off when she was young, and she was very particular about eating crabs. She had a whole set of crab-eating tools in her dowry. I've seen them; they were really exquisite."

Li Tian had heard of this thing, but had never seen it.

She eats crabs using only her hands and mouth.

They can still eat the crab clean.

"It's not easy for someone with Aunt Nie's background to have survived the catastrophe."

Ye Zhao glanced at her daughter.

"She went to Yan'an early on, just like me, but her family supported her, while I went after severing ties with them."

Ye Zhao became somewhat sentimental as she spoke.

"However, because of our backgrounds, we've both somewhat burdened our families..."

"It's all in the past, let's not talk about it anymore."

Li Shengli didn't let Ye Zhao continue. He didn't care about being a burden or anything like that.

How high an official position is considered "high"?

Just like they say, it's a blessing from several lifetimes that a rough guy like him could marry Ye Zhao.

When I first met Ye Zhao, it was like seeing a fairy.

That feeling is unforgettable.

This was the first time Li Tian had learned about Ye Zhao's past.

This grandmother is truly a decisive heroine; what remarkable character she has to make such a choice at such a young age.

Of course, this grandfather is also quite remarkable.

The old man was not blinded by power; he remained simple and unpretentious, adhering to his original intentions.

After dinner, the family, except for Li Siwen, went out for a walk again.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Aunt Zhang excitedly ran up to Ye Zhao.

"Commander, they're all saying there's a batch of crabs that's going to be sold domestically at the Dongdan and Xidan markets for only 50 cents a pound. I'd like to ask for leave to queue up and buy some; my kids haven't tasted crabs yet."

Ye Zhao wasn't reluctant to let Zhang Sao go, but she was a little worried.

"Xiao Zhang, is this news reliable?"

Aunt Zhang looked excited, as if she had gotten a great deal.

"Reliable, reliable, a few of us have arranged to go together."

"There are probably a lot of people, so you might not be able to buy any. I'll share a few with you when our supplies arrive."

Mrs. Zhang thanked him repeatedly, saying, "I've received so much help from the leader, it's not appropriate for me to eat and take things. This is cheap, we can afford it."

Ye Zhao did not try to persuade her further.
