Chapter 829: Chapter 829: Accompanying for the Competition (1)
"Aiyo, my precious baby." Upon hearing this, Zhao Li truly couldn’t help but shower Ruan Jiaojiao with love, hugging her tightly and giving her a couple of fierce kisses.
Outside, Ruan Jianguo and Lu Zhiwei entered and saw the kids turning the yard upside down. Seeing Ruan Jiaojiao and Zhao Li hugging and looking very happy, the two men unconsciously started smiling too.
Lu Zhiwei was the first to speak up, "What’s making you so happy? Share it so I can join in too."
These past few days, Ruan Jianguo and Lu Zhiwei had been starting to look after the shop front again, hoping to get the electronics store up and running before winter. So, they had been incredibly busy throughout the month. They felt quite exhausted when they returned, but as soon as they stepped in and saw the joyful scene, their fatigue seemed to vanish instantly.
Although Ruan Jianguo didn’t speak, his eyes were also filled with mirth.
"Ha-ha-ha, such a joyous occasion can’t be shared with you guys, it’s a little secret between me and my goddaughter, right?"
Ruan Jiaojiao nestled in her arms, nodding cleverly with a smile.
"By the way, Brother Ruan, Jiaojiao has an exam in Changling on Monday. I’ve discussed it with my aunt, and we’re planning to accompany her. Do you think you could give us a ride there?" Zhao Li took the opportunity to bring this up.
Ruan Jianguo couldn’t possibly refuse such a request. In fact, it was exactly what he had in mind. He had previously thought about it but held back because his old mother and wife joked about him having money to burn. Now that they brought it up themselves, he naturally agreed wholeheartedly. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Lu Zhiwei also sat down on the side and joined in, "Changling, huh? Jianguo and I were going there to do some fieldwork anyway, so let’s go together."
"Can I go as well?" Upon hearing that Lu Zhiwei was also going, Lu Zishu who was still romping around immediately asked with eyes full of hope.
"What do you think?" Zhao Li counter-asked with a chilling tone, "You don’t have classes on Monday? Your grades are excellent? You can score full marks?"
The three questions struck Lu Zishu as a soul-searching interrogation, making him instantly sulk and start to question his life choices.
"Don’t worry, son, your dad will ask your grandma to come over," Lu Zhiwei chimed in, considering himself quite the caring father.
However, upon hearing this, Lu Zishu became even more despondent. It wasn’t that his grandma wasn’t nice to him, in fact, she was very caring. However, she had a penchant for stuffing him with food, her culinary skills were... um, hard to describe.
Every time she visited, she would make lots of food for him. If he didn’t eat, she would look so heartbroken that he felt compelled to eat lots and lots of that barely describable food; it was sheer torture.
Now, not only could he not go to the capital city as hoped, but he also had to endure such torment. Filled with despair, he howled and threw himself onto Ruan Lei, continuing to make a scene!
"By the way, Mom, Jiang Bin called the store today. He said everything is safe and sound, and he thanked you for all the help you gave him before. He said he’ll come in person to express his gratitude when he gets a chance." Ruan Jianguo suddenly mentioned.
"What’s there to thank for, I didn’t do much," Ruanlin Family replied nonchalantly. However, remembering Xiu Xun, she couldn’t help but ask a few more questions, "Has Xiu Xun got things sorted out yet?"
"Yep. He’s already enrolled in school. And there’s another piece of news, take a look at this." Saying so, Ruan Jianguo handed a newspaper to Ruanlin Family.
