Tossing too late today, Granny Ding simply let Qingqing and Gu Lan stay together.

The old man lives alone in this huge yard, and it is actually quite happy to be accompanied by someone now.

"Where is Aunt Ding's family?" Gu Lan couldn't help frowning when she heard that Granny Ding was the only one in her house.

All kinds of thoughts of unfilial filial piety and not supporting the elderly have been in my mind.

Even Qingqing was also affected, and her worried little eyes kept falling on Granny Ding.

Seeing that the two children were thinking about things, Granny Ding smiled carelessly.

"They all work in the city. They are all busy on weekdays and have no time to come back, but my good grandchildren will come to accompany my old woman during holidays, and there are neighbours who can accompany the old woman to chat and chat. It's very interesting."

Granny Ding's children used to pick her up to live there, but Granny Ding didn't like living in that deserted home.

Sons and daughters have to go to work every day, grandchildren and granddaughters also have to go to school, neighbors do not say hello when they meet, they are completely strangers.

A few days later, she couldn't take it anymore and clamored to go back to the village.

Not to persuade the elderly, Granny Ding's children can only helplessly follow her wish, only let the children in the family spend more holidays to accompany grandma/grandmother.

So things are really not as complicated as Gu Lan thought.

Realizing that he had misunderstood, Gu Lan was a bit stunned for a while.

The main reason is that there are too many troubles in his family, which makes it easy to think about some bad aspects.

Fortunately, Granny Ding took care of his emotions and didn't say anything, she just got up to make dinner, leaving him to take care of Qingqing.

"Brother is happy?"

Children are generally very sensitive to the emotions of adults, and Qingqing can naturally feel that Gu Lan's emotions are a little too high now.

"Yeah." Without denying, Gu Lan held Qingqing and massaged her injured leg: "We can come to see Aunt Ding more when we have time."

"Okay!" Qingqing liked this suggestion, and she couldn't help but nodded with joy.

Gu Lan wants Qingqing to get close to Granny Ding. Apart from the childhood friendship and that Granny Ding is indeed a kind and kind old man, there is another consideration.

Qing Qing became smaller overnight for unknown reasons, and it is uncertain whether she can change back in the future, so as her younger brother, Gu Lan must consider the future of her younger sister.

What if she doesn't change back in the future?

Or she can only grow and live again at this age.

Even more pessimistic, Qing

Qing can only be fixed at the age of three, so what will she do in the future?

What will she do in the future?

It's not that Gu Lan doesn't trust the character of her brother-in-law and nephews, but after a long time, everyone must have their own lives.

Not to mention brother-in-law, two nephews will also marry wives and have children in the future. After they have their own family, can they care for Qingqing again?

So not only do they need to change, Qingqing also needs to grow.

Gu Lan knew that her brother-in-law was almost the same idea as herself, otherwise he wouldn't start looking for a kindergarten for Qingqing and plan to send her to school.

As an unfortunate member of the family, Gu Lan thinks more about it.

He felt that Qing Qing lacked the teaching and care of a female elder.

Her parents are constantly absent in her life. Maybe now he and her brother-in-law can barely fill the role of father, but the choice of'mother' is a problem.

It just so happened that Aunt Ding made up for this problem.

She knows the secret of Qingqing, and sincerely loves her as her own daughter, so who else is more suitable than her.

It's a pity that Granny Ding is now old and she doesn't want to live in the city anymore, otherwise Gu Lan would actually be happy to pick her up and look back at home.

"dinner's ready."

It's rare to have guests tonight, and they are such special guests. Granny Ding's dinner is exceptionally rich.

Roumo eggplant, chicken stewed mushrooms, egg custard, fish head tofu soup... There is also a dish of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, which are soft and waxy dishes suitable for children.

This bias is clear.

Gu Lan stretched out his chopsticks without hesitation, pretending that there was something specially made for himself.

What was his deepest impression of Granny Ding in his childhood?

That is definitely the excellent cooking skill of her old man. Obviously they are all the same ingredients and the same seasoning, but Granny Ding can make dishes that are better than others.

No one has this taste after changing.

So when I tasted it again after many years, Gu Lan could actually feel a taste of home.

I miss it very much.

"The eldest must eat more so that she can grow taller if she is full."

"Hmm..."

Not only Gu Lan, but Qingqing also ate happily.

Granny Ding couldn’t take care of her own food, so she kept adding vegetables to Qingqing. Qingqing’s small head was almost buried in the bowl, and her small cheeks were stuffed like a hamster, and she couldn’t compare to her. speed.

Fortunately, Granny Ding, who has extensive parenting experience, knows that enough is enough.

After guessing that the things in the Qingqing bowl were enough for her to eat, she stopped pinching them.

As a result, Qing Qing ate by herself

Finished, I don't want to ask for it too much.

"Qing Qing hasn't eaten enough, but he still needs meat."

Carnivorous animals do not take the initiative to ask for vegetables.

Granny Ding glanced at Qingqing’s round belly, and only took a small piece of sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus cake to her: "Miss, be good, don’t eat this after eating this."

"Okay." Knowing that every time Granny Ding says that she is not allowed to eat, she really won't give it to her, Qingqing can only pitifully take the only sweet-scented osmanthus cake that can be eaten.

Holding a small bite, for fear that the food will be fast, it will be gone all at once.

Seeing her so pitiful, Gu Lan not only didn't feel distressed, but deliberately pulled the entire plate of sweet-scented osmanthus pastry in front of her, taking a bite of the pastry, greedying the opposite child.

Qing Qing: "???"

She really cried.

"Uuuu...Aunt Ding, look at him, brother is good or bad!"

Xiaopang pointed at Gu Lan and Granny Ding to complain, so angry that the sweet-scented osmanthus crisp in his mouth was not fragrant.

"Haha... Well, good good, good lady, the two of us went out to play and ignored the second young master."

Granny Ding suffocated her smile, and directly hugged Qingqing to get up and went out to stroll outside, not allowing her to watch this greedy scene again.

The rural planning here is very good. Outside the courtyard is a clean and tidy concrete street. If you walk to the left along this road, you will gradually see large tracts of golden and green farmland.

Now the sun is setting, and the sunset is reflected on the wheat fields, adding a layer of brilliance to the already brilliant golden color, and the beauty is so fascinating.

"So pretty..."

Qingqing's mouth opened in an O shape in amazement, and his eyes were full of surprise.

"It looks good?" Granny Ding pointed to the large area in front of her with some pride and showed Qingqing.

"These are all the grain I planted by the old lady. They always say that the old lady doesn't have the life to go to the city to enjoy the blessings, but this person, as long as he lives in this world for one day, he can't leave the grain, and he has to return to his duty after all. "

Qingqing seemed to understand, but he nodded and slapped his hands: "If you want to do your duty, do it!"

"Hahahaha...does the eldest understand it, just follow it." Qingqing made a laugh, and Granny Ding felt that she hadn't been so happy in a long time.

Sure enough, the eldest lady in her family has always been such a likable good boy. Those people are not treating her badly. It must be the lard blindfolded and blind.

At night, Granny Ding slept with Qingqing, while Gu Lan slept in the next room.

Qingqing was lying on the bed all over, her belly buckled with her regular breathing, barely making a nasal bubble.

Granny Ding lay halfway next to her, holding a fan and fanning her with gentle brows.

"Tweet..."

A little sparrow landed on the window sill, and looked inwardly. The small black bean-like eyes were extremely agile.

"She's okay." Granny Ding suddenly said to the empty house.

"Don’t hold back some words, and others can’t hear what you are saying. If you do a good thing, you should let others know about it. Otherwise, who knows you are a good person? If they misunderstand you, they can explain it if they can explain it. From afar, you can be happy, it's the happiest thing in my life, old lady, so... take care of yourself."

"..."

Silence, no one answered.

The little sparrow on the window sill was long gone, and only the little snoring of Qingqing remained in the house.

It seems that the little guy is really tired today. He slept so heavily that he snored.

Smiling silently, Granny Ding put down her fan and fell asleep with her.

On the second day, until lunch with Granny Ding, Gu Lan took Qingqing to say goodbye to the old man, preparing to drive back.

Last night, they stayed out overnight without giving an explanation. But the brother-in-law made several calls in a row, and even the two nephews were uneasy. One of them called to ask what was going on.

In fact, I just can't worry about Qingqing, saying that he cares more about him.

Oh, man.

Sending Qingqing back to Fu's house, the two were unexpectedly welcomed by an unprecedented grandeur.

It was just after four o'clock in the afternoon, and the three busy people in the Fu family did not say that they were all busy at the company, but they all stayed at home waiting for Qingqing's return.

"You don't have to go to work?" Gu Lan asked strangely.

Be careful of the company's bankruptcy by being so passive.

"I have something to discuss with you."

After giving the sons a look, Fu Sijin and Fu Sishen immediately agreed, and quickly got up to take Qingqing from Gu Lan's arms and coaxed her upstairs to play.

"Qingqing do you want us?"

"I thought about it."

"How much do you think?"

"This—what do you think!"

As the childish conversation went away, only Gu Lan and Fu Heng were left in the living room for a while.

"Let's talk about it, what on earth must Qingqing tell me?"

Gu Lan Shi Shiran was seated opposite Fu Heng, with Erlang's legs tilted, no one was going straight.

"Reconciled with your sister?"

Hearing the intimacy of Gu Lan's words to Qingqing, Fu Heng asked not surprisingly.

"Ah, I learned something and resolved the previous misunderstanding with her."

This did not

Gu Lan is very calm about what it is to hide.

"It's good if the misunderstanding is resolved, and get along with her in the future. It has not been easy for her these years."

The purpose of today is not to do a seminar for the relationship between my brother-in-law and his wife's siblings, so Fu Heng only briefly exhorted and went directly to the topic.

"These, take a look."

Give several stacks of documents to Gu Lan, and Fu Heng motioned him to take a closer look.

"what is this?"

After receiving the documents, Gu Lan opened one of them, and the purpose was a kindergarten propaganda poster with pretty flowers.

"Oh, no wonder you have to open Qingqing so that she can't cry if she sees it."

If the gloating smile on Gu Lan's face was not so obvious, Fu Heng would really believe that he was worried because Qing Qing was about to be sent to school.

"These are the kindergartens with good conditions after my investigation. Take a look and help select one for Qingqing."

Qingqing was almost rebuilt, and the doctor said that he would fully recover in half a month.

It just so happens that next month is August, and I will be able to sign up for her at the end of the month, and officially go to school with the children in early September.

"Now there is a trial period for children in kindergartens. They can go to each kindergarten for three days. If they feel inappropriate, they can choose another one. If it is suitable, then it can be decided."

"Do you think Qingqing would be happy to try the family at home?" It is her brother who knows Qingqing the most.

Not to mention the trial, it would take a lot of work to get her into the first kindergarten.

I didn't know how Aunt Ding fooled people in.

"That's why I have to find you to find a way. Qingqing can never stay at home and not go to school for the rest of my life."

"Then what if she can change back?"

Gu Lan raised his head, looking sharply at Fu Heng's eyes.

Fu Heng looked back indifferently: "Then wait until she changes back."

As Gu Lan had thought before, they had to prepare for the worst that Qing Qing might not return.

"You should know that my sister and I have resolved the misunderstanding." Looking away, and falling on the documents again, Gu Lan said casually.

"what do you want to say?"

The atmosphere between the two gradually tightened.

"I am her own brother, and she is my only relative now. From now on..." The slender knuckles lightly tapped on the edge of the document: "I will not let her suffer any more wrongs."

"I am her husband, do you think I will make her wronged?"

Fu Heng gave a chuckle, as if he thought Gu Lan's warning was funny.

"Who knows? No one really knows your old debts?"

Shrugging, Gu Lan didn't comment on Fu Heng's rhetorical question.

He didn’t bother to listen to Fu Heng’s explanation any more, pulled out a document, and decided: “Just this one. The little boy who was abducted with her before is also studying in this kindergarten. An acquaintance is better than all. Strangers are strong."

"can."

The kindergarten Gu Lan fancyed is also one of the best kindergartens in the city.

Not only is it close to Fu and Gu's family, but the teachers are very good, and multilingual teaching is helpful to cultivate children's foreign language and social skills.

It can be said that besides the price, this kindergarten has excellent conditions in all aspects.

However, this problem is not an issue in the face of the two big groups in power.

The matter was settled, and seeing nothing else, Gu Lan got up and left.

Before leaving, Fu Heng suddenly stopped him: "I have found some things recently, but I haven't fully confirmed them. I will tell you more after I have checked them out later."

"It's related to Qingqing?"

"It's related to your sister."

"Okay, let me know if you need help."

Taking the coat, Gu Lan really left this time.

Qingqing, who doesn't know her school start date has been set, is still thinking about choosing a date to visit her home last year.

Saturdays and Sundays are undoubtedly the best choice. At that time, the rice cakes are on holiday and there is time to play with Qingqing.

But this weekend Fu Heng and Fu Sijin both had to work overtime at the company, and they had no time to accompany her.

Fu Sishen didn't even have to go to work, but he already had an appointment with a friend.

Gu Lan went on a business trip directly abroad, and couldn't come back in a short time.

Waiting for the next week, Qingqing was obviously unhappy, and everyone was in a stalemate for a while.

"How to do?"

Seeing Qingqing’s excitement and anticipation from the beginning to the present cry or not, the adults looked at each other and were blinded.

"Would you like to call the kids over there?"

Fu Sishen tentatively suggested: "They just want to get together and play together. Going out on their own is almost the same as when the other party visits."

Others thought about it carefully, and thought this proposal was good.

If he said nothing, Fu Si would like to immediately be the parent of Qingqing and call and contact the parent of the rice cake.

Unfortunately, when he put down the phone, his face was not optimistic.

"What's wrong? My parents disagree?"

Fu Sishen asked carefully, for fear of hearing a bad answer.

"No, it's because the children have homework on weekends and need to stay home to do homework, but the parents said that he doesn't go to work on weekends. If we are busy, we can leave Qingqing to bring him with him."

Anyway, one sheep is also driving, and two sheep are also driving, both are the same.

Fu Sijin, who inexplicably heard this from the other parent's mouth, felt complicated.

Ashamed, none of the four shepherds in their family can handle a little sheep.

I couldn't bear the noise of Qingqing, and Fu Heng could only agree to let Qingqing go to his friend's house to play, but the bodyguard still had to bring it.

As for the itinerary of the day, Fu Sishen was asked to send Qingqing to the rice cake home before going to the appointment, and then wait for whoever was busy at night to pick up Qingqing.

Early this morning, Fu Sishen drove the car, carrying Qing Qing last year's cake home.

On the way, like an old mother, he babbled Qingqing: "You have to be polite in other people's homes. You have to listen to the adults, don't be naughty, don't touch people's things, don't...you know?"

"Hmm... Qingqing knows it."

No matter what Fu Sishen said, Qingqing just nodded.

She pretended to be well-behaved, but her careful heart had already drifted far away and landed at the rice cake home that was about to be visited.

I even began to look forward to today's happy trip, and the whole dumpling exudes a pleasant taste.

If it weren't for the leg injury, Qingqing might have to jump on the spot a few times to show her excitement.

The nian gao family lives in a high-end community in the city center. Coincidentally, Gu Lan also lives here.

If it weren't for him to go on a business trip, it would actually be more convenient for him to pick him up today, and he could look after him nearby.

However, the two parties do not live in the same building.

In fact, apart from the commercial buildings in this community, there are also single-family villas.

The rice cake house is in the villa area, occupying the villa with the best location.

Not only is it facing the south and facing the artificial lake, it is surrounded by superior greenery and exquisite scenery. It is also near the district express delivery point, which is very convenient to collect express delivery.

The author has something to say: My kindergarten trial is one week, and the text is changed to three days for the plot.
