After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

Lan Yujuan silently withdrew her hand, looking rather uncomfortable.

"Liu Qian, go ahead!"

I won't be attending this class reunion.

As she spoke, she walked straight toward her daughter by the French windows.

"My child is still young and needs me at night."

It has to be said that her parents were quicker than she had imagined when it came to buying things for their child.

Yesterday, this area of ​​the living room was completely empty. Today, when I stepped out of the room, I was surprised to find that a thick crawling mat had been laid out on the floor.

Teacher Lan casually tossed her cane aside and sat on the playmat, playing with stickers with her granddaughter.

Various princess dress-up stickers were stuck all over Teacher Lan's face, hair, and clothes!

In its current state, how can one still see even a trace of the serious and rigid Teacher Lan who once stood on the podium?

Lan Yujuan bent down and squatted down, smiling and waving to her daughter while saying to her father:

"Dad, I'm taking the baby out for a walk."

"You don't need to wait for us to come home for lunch today!"

The smile on Mr. Lan's face vanished the moment he heard that she was taking her granddaughter out.

"Where to?"

"Go do your own thing. What are you doing with the child? Your mother and I are here at home; we'll look after the child!"

"Besides, how unhygienic is restaurant food?"

"The baby is still small, so they should eat homemade baby food, which is healthy and hygienic!"

Lan Yujuan felt a warm glow in her heart and said softly:

"Dad, it's still the first month of the lunar calendar, and we could have guests visiting at any time."

"I don't want to see any guests lately, so I'll take Xiaoman out for a walk to get some fresh air and buy her some new clothes."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Lan quickly replied, "No need!"

"Your mom and I have already bought the baby's new clothes!"

As he spoke, he pointed towards the balcony and said:

"Go check, they've all been washed and hung out to dry. You can wear them as soon as they're dry!"

"Those sets on the left were bought by your mom and me. Those sets on the right were bought by your Aunt Ya Jing!"

"From hat to shoes, everything's on the table!"

Mr. Lan looked at his daughter's clothes, then glanced at Liu Qian's attire not far away, and a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes.

Mr. Lan picked up his cane, stood up, walked to the side, and stuffed a red envelope he had prepared beforehand into his daughter's hand, whispering:

"Juan'er, don't just think about the child, think about yourself too."

"Now that you're back home, and your mother and I are retired, you don't need to worry about the kids!"

"Just go and browse by yourself, buy whatever you want!"

Lan Yujuan looked down and held the red envelope in her hand; it should contain a bank card.

She pouted and whispered, "Dad, I'm all grown up now, I have money."

"And now, I can earn my own money!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Lan immediately burst into laughter.

"Silly child, your money is yours, and your parents' money is yours too, it's all the same!"

"Perfect timing. After the baby wakes up from her afternoon nap, your mom and I are planning to take her to the nearby kindergarten to check out the environment."

Upon hearing this, Lan Yujuan realized that her daughter's enrollment in kindergarten was indeed a serious matter, and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Okay, you guys go check out the kindergarten, I'll go out for a walk by myself!"

Lan Yujuan did want to go with them.

But she came back almost empty-handed. Right now, she didn't even have a change of clothes to wear out, so she should go buy some clothes first.

The little one has been having a great time playing with his grandparents these past few days!

Perhaps it's due to blood ties, or perhaps the little one can sense that her grandparents truly love her.

The little one who used to follow and cling to her every move when she lived with the Liu family can now sleep independently at night with just a little coaxing.

When she said she was going out, the little guy actually smiled and waved at her:

"Bye-bye, Mom!"

Without the burden of housework, the little one no longer clings to her all day.

Lan Yujuan suddenly realized she had so much more time than she could ever have. She was even a little unsure how to fill it all!

Just as Lan Yujuan was about to change her shoes and go out, Liu Qian, who had been chatting with her mother, also got up to say goodbye and wanted to go downstairs with her.

With her parents present, Lan Yujuan felt a little better.

Now that the door is closed, she and Liu Qian are the only ones left in the hallway, and she immediately feels like she's sitting on pins and needles.

She couldn't understand why Liu Qian, whom she hadn't contacted for so many years, was suddenly being so enthusiastic towards her.

When they were in the same class, they weren't very close!

"You go first!" Lan Yujuan turned to the side and politely let Liu Qian go first.

Unexpectedly, Liu Qian didn't move her feet, but instead fixed her gaze on the Qin family across the street, while lowering her voice to quietly inquire about the situation from Lan Yujuan.

"Yujuan, do Qin Zhang's family still live across the street from you?"

"My grandma told me he hadn't been home for years, but yesterday he suddenly went to the supermarket carrying a little girl... Could it be that he got married?"

Lan Yujuan blinked. At this moment, Liu Qian's unintentional display of concern seemed to have made her understand something.

She shook her head and said truthfully:

"I just got back yesterday, so I don't know anything about his relationship status, and I didn't ask."

"But the little girl he was carrying to the supermarket yesterday, that must be my Xiaoman!"

After hearing her explanation, Liu Qian visibly breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good..."

After realizing what she meant, she quickly explained, "No, I meant that your two families seem to have a pretty good relationship?"

Lan Yujuan took out her phone and glanced at it, pretending not to have noticed Liu Qian's words.

"Hmm? Everything's been fine!"

A calculating glint flashed quickly in Liu Qian's eyes.

He then immediately put on a smile, took Lan Yujuan's arm, and continued to persuade her:

"Hey, Yujuan, why don't you come to the class reunion tonight?"

"Our classmates rarely get together, maybe once every few years. The time before last, I heard you were interning in Beijing and didn't come back for the Chinese New Year; the time after that, I heard you got married and moved far away."

"I absolutely have to go to this gathering since you're finally back!"

Feeling flustered and uncomfortable from being pestered, Lan Yujuan once again directly refused:

"Liu Qian, you guys go ahead, I really don't want to go!"

"You're so well-informed, you must know about the uproar about me in the neighborhood yesterday."

"I've been in a bad mood these past few days and just want to be alone!"

After saying that, Lan Yujuan pulled her hand away from his and said in a distant tone:

"I have other things to do, so I can't keep you company!"

But to her surprise, Liu Qian hadn't given up and chased after her after only a few steps from the building entrance.

"Lan Yujuan, I know you just got divorced and came home alone with your daughter. You're in a bad mood!"

"But are you sure you don't want to go to this class reunion?"

Even if you don't think about yourself, think about your parents and your daughter!

Lan Yujuan stopped and turned around, frowning.

"What do you mean?"

"What does my attending the class reunion have to do with my family?"
