"Come on, Yaoyao, grandma is here, let’s get up," Fang Pingying said, gesturing for Luo Honglan to fetch three sets of new clothes from the small sofa in her room. One set for each little one, and another set for Ruirui. Ever since the little ones were born, all their clothes were made by Fang Pingying with fabric bought from her clothing store, hand-sewn by her, each set unique and unlike what you can buy at the time, each with its own features. For little Yaoyao, Fang Pingying dressed her in a red dress with white dots, layered with several petticoats underneath. Her fair skin and chubby figure made her look very cute in it. The little guy loved looking pretty too, after putting on the dress, she immediately grabbed Fang Pingying’s hand and pointed at the mirror in the room, "Mommy, so pretty." Seeing this, both Fang Pingying and Luo Honglan couldn’t help but laugh. Fang Pingying asked Luo Honglan to go play with the little girl while she went out to prepare breakfast. Because once Zhao Longsheng visited Fang Pingying’s house, he couldn’t stop praising the soy-paste buns she made, so Fang Pingying decided to make some pancakes, and even specially prepared some soy paste to brush on top. As she finished preparing the delicious food, she heard a knock at the door. Luo Zhiyong opened the door, only to hear Li Aihua shouting from the threshold, "Oh my, where are my little treasures? Today they have long tails; grandma has bought a lot of goodies for you." Luo Zhiyong had grown used to his mother-in-law’s dramatic personality. After taking the things from her, he let her rush inside while he greeted Zhao Longsheng at the door with a smile, "Uncle Zhao, you’re just in time, Pingying has just finished making breakfast." Zhao Longsheng changed his shoes at the door and as he walked inside, he sniffed vigorously the aroma coming from the kitchen and smiled, "Is it soy-paste pancakes? After I ate them last time, I’ve been craving them." Just then, Fang Pingying came out of the kitchen with the soy-paste pancakes, and said with a smile, "Uncle Zhao, if you really like them, next time I’ll teach my mom how to make them, then you can have them whenever you want." "It’s your mom who made them?" Zhao Longsheng looked at Li Aihua indulgently, then pretended to show a face full of disgust, "Never mind, I’d better let Sister-in-law Zhou learn it, I dare not eat what your mom makes." Li Aihua, upon hearing this, became competitive and shouted, "Hey, hey, for the few days Sister-in-law Zhou wasn’t home, it was me who cooked! As if what I make tastes so bad." Everyone burst out laughing at these words. Fang Pingying urged Zhao Longsheng and the others to hurry up and sit down at the table for breakfast, so as not to delay, as there were many things to do today. Fang Pingying noticed that only Li Aihua had come, and said, "Oh, mom, how come Sister-in-law Zhou didn’t come with you today?" Sister-in-law Zhou had been helping to look after Ruirui and Yaoyao at Fang Pingying’s house for a few months and was also extremely fond of the two little ones. Sometimes when Li Aihua came over on the weekends, she would also make the effort to come over and see them. While handing over the things she had bought and the food suitable for the children to Fang Pingying, asking her to put the cake in the fridge, Li Aihua explained, "Someone from her family came to the provincial city. It just so happens that we’re not home today, so I gave her the day off to go see her family." Fang Pingying nodded, "That’s good, Sister-in-law Zhou deserves a day off too." Just then, Luo Honglan came out, saw Li Aihua and the others, and called out, "Auntie, Uncle, you’re all here." Luo Honglan had already dressed up the two little ones in the house earlier, with Yaoyao wearing a little skirt and Ruirui a plaid shirt, with suspenders below. The older Ruirui gets, the more he resembles Luo Zhiyong, so handsome. They were led out by Luo Honglan, one in each hand, and as soon as they saw Li Aihua, they raced towards her, "Grandma." As soon as Li Aihua saw the two of them, she immediately dropped what she was originally tidying up and ran to catch them, exclaiming with a laugh, "Oh my, my two little treasures are so pretty, Grandma and Grandpa have missed you so much." Li Aihua, although not too busy with work on a regular basis since she hadn’t retired yet, still had to go to school on time every day. Unless something special came up, she could only come over to Fang Pingying’s place to see the little ones on weekends. Last weekend, because she was tied up, Li Aihua didn’t have the chance to come over, and it had been almost half a month since she last saw them. She really missed them terribly. During the meal, she didn’t eat much herself, just focused on feeding the two little ones. Although the little ones were young, they were quite cunning, knowing that Grandma cherishes them; all things that Fang Pingying wouldn’t normally allow them to do, they did this time. Fang Pingying would scold them, and Li Aihua would glower at her and chide her, "What are you yelling for? You’re scaring my babies." Fang Pingying had no choice but to let them be. After the family finished breakfast, they discussed what to do for lunch today. Li Aihua, who disliked cooking and those trivial chores, suggested, "If we have quite a few people coming at noon, let’s eat out; the house won’t accommodate everyone." Fang Pingying thought for a moment, she hadn’t invited others, just their usual friends such as juzi and Sister-in-law Qiulin, the rest were family members. "There won’t be too many people, just juzi, Sister-in-law Qiulin, and other family members, two tables should be enough." Upon hearing this, Zhao Longsheng assumed the demeanor of a leader and made a decision, "Then we won’t go out, it’s all family after all. It’s more casual to eat at home, and it’s too much hassle to go out." Discover more novels at novelfire.net "Mm, I think so too." Fang Pingying initially had the same plan, so she instructed Fang Ping, "Mom, this morning you, Uncle Zhao, and my dad help me watch the kids. Later, I, my mom, and Xiu’er will go to the market to buy some groceries, and we’ll cook lunch at home." As they were talking, there came a knock at the door, followed immediately by the voice of the little chubby Haohao outside, "Auntie, Auntie." Fang Pingying went to open the door with a smile. Little chubby Haohao plunged straight into her arms, chuckling with laughter. Fang Pingying, smiling, lifted him into her arms, and as she was about to walk inside, she noticed it wasn’t just Fang Xiu and Li Yuchun today, there was also a man standing behind them. Fang Pingying had met him once; he was Gao Sheng, who was dating Fang Xiu. Gao Sheng had also met Fang Pingying before and greeted her politely, "Sister Pingying." Fang Pingying nodded and promptly invited them in with a smile, "What a rare guest, come on in, have a seat, Teacher Li is also here." "How’s that, Gao Sheng has arrived." Li Aihua, having heard their conversation at the door from inside, immediately walked to the entrance. Upon seeing Gao Sheng, she laughed, "Oh, this is the prospective son-in-law coming to meet the family." Fang Pingying glanced at both Gao Sheng and Fang Xiu. Gao Sheng seemed a bit shy but smiled, whereas Fang Xiu looked quite embarrassed. Fang Pingying, fearing Li Aihua was unaware of the situation and might say too much, hastily urged them, "Don’t talk so much, come in and sit down first." Having said that, she shook the hand of Haohao in her arms, teasing, "Today our Haohao has grown a tail." The little chubby fellow seemed to know there was a special occasion today, too, ecstatically hopping and jumping in Fang Pingying’s arms.
