"Ah!"

Grandpa Li panicked. "Are you afraid that the children won't agree?"

In a moment of anxiety, his voice became especially loud, scaring Cao Ma so much that she stomped her feet, "What are you doing? What are you yelling for? If the children hear, then where are you putting my face?"

As he spoke, he was about to cry.

"Hey, don't cry." Master Li was so anxious that he rubbed his hands, "I was just in a hurry. Don't cry, I was wrong, I was wrong."

Mother Cao was wondering why she would marry that short-lived man, why she would leave after leaving behind a child, and hating herself that she had been widowed for the rest of her life. Especially his eldest daughter, now that she had a boyfriend, she looked like a rather capable man. If he knew about this incident in his family, would he look down on her?

It was all possible, and Mother Cao didn't want to take the risk.

"Old Li." She was also at a loss for words. "How about … forget about us, really."

Seeing that Grandpa Li was glaring at her, she hurriedly said, "Don't be in such a hurry, listen to me."

"Look, Xiao Lian is already 20 years old, Xiao Xia is already a big girl, if they were still young, then it would be fine." But now that the children are this old and we're this big, I won't expose our worth. "

When she thought of the grievances her eldest daughter had suffered for this family, she could not help but feel sad, "Xiao Lian had met with my incompetent mother and suffered a lot of grievances. Now that there's finally someone who treats her well, I don't want to trouble her and make her feel wronged."

She raised her head and looked at Old Li, tears streaming down her face, "Old Li, forget it. Ah, I was muddle-headed before, and I'm sorry about you. Go find a suitable person to pass the time. I want to watch over the two children right now."

"You, did you really think it through?" Master Li's voice trembled a bit, "Little Cao, Xiao Lian is not the kind of child who doesn't understand anything. Have you told her all of this? If she really doesn't support your remarriage, then I won't say anything. "

"Old Li, do you still not understand that child?" Mother Cao's voice trembled, "If we were to say it, she would definitely agree. This child has always been like this. He carries all the burdens on himself."

Grandpa Li also became silent.

After a long time, he reached into his pocket for a cigarette. But when he reached in, he found out that he had quit smoking half a year ago, when he had been staying with Mother Cao at this kindergarten.

Who could blame it on? Everything was fate.

"Little Cao, alright, we'll do as you say. But don't push me away, we're going to have a kindergarten together, and I can give you a hand. If you don't want the children to see you, then come back and I'll go, and don't refuse me. "

He stopped Mother Cao from opening her mouth, "I know, I am just a slob without much ability. Your two daughters are both capable, which one of us in this town isn't envious of you? People in our village would give you a big thumbs up if they mention you. I am so envious, I, Old Li, have never had a child in my life, if God gave us this kind of daughter, I would really be willing to do anything. "

"You don't know how happy I was the other day when you said you would like the children to come back and discuss things between us. I don't expect my children to call me Dad, but I will definitely be a support for your mother and all three of you, so as to not let the children suffer any more grievances. "

When Old Li said this, he felt that his throat was a little stiff and turned his head away.

Suddenly, there was a soft hand on his arm, gently comforting him.

"Old Li, I understand your intentions, and I really appreciate your help. But as old people, we can't be that selfish. We can't have bad effects on our children just because we're living an old life. "

Old Li nodded, "Alright, I'll listen to you. What do you think we should do?"

Mother Cao felt that he had been wronged, but there was nothing she could do about it. In this era, news of a divorce and remarriage would spread like wildfire, not to mention the elderly.

For her daughter's sake, she couldn't either.

His dazed state of mind from a few days ago finally calmed down at this moment. Mother Cao urged, "Alright, since you've thought it through, don't put on such a face. I will make some stuffing and make some dumplings later."

Cao Xiaolian and her sister, who were in the room, did not notice this.

When Cao Xiaolian opened the cabinet, she found several gifts that had been wrapped in a bag lying in front of her.

Same color, same bow.

Sigh!

Cao Xiao Xia was in the middle of eating the melon seeds when she saw him. She quickly sat up and snickered, "Sis, this old classmate of yours is such a lover!"

"Go to hell, what does a child like you know?"

"How come I don't know?" Cao Xiaoxia was not convinced, "Every year, you will be given a gift. Whether it is Valentine's Day, New Year's Day, or the Double Seventh Festival, as long as it is a festival, you will send a gift. This infatuation, sigh! If there was a man who was so good to me, I would definitely agree. "

"F * ck off." Cao Xiaolian was not in a good mood. She felt that something was amiss and quickly asked, "Did any boys from your school chase you?"

She was afraid that Cao Xiaolian would fall in love with her. She was only sixteen, after all. She could easily be tricked.

Cao Xiaoxia rolled her eyes, "Please. You think it's rare to find a man in our monk school who is even more precious than pandas. How could he fall for me?"

"What's wrong with you? My sister is so pretty, but he's blind. " At this point, looking at Cao Xiaoxia's proud face, he realized that he had been tricked by her. He was so angry that he wanted to scratch her, "Good, you even dare to play with your sister. I'll tickle you."

"Ai ai ai ai." Cao Xiaoxia was most afraid of this, "I was wrong, I was wrong. I just wanted to say that you don't have to worry about my love for you. Oh, help, Mom! "

Her shout had indeed attracted the attention of Mother Cao. He opened the door and saw that his two daughters were in a mess. He smiled and said, "You can't dry your hair after your shower. You'll catch a cold later."

The two sisters touched the towels on their heads. They did not say anything as they quickly turned around to find a hairdryer.

"Ah, yes."

Mother Cao saw the gift that fell out and was a little worried, "Say, Huang Fang, this child, I've already told you, you have a boyfriend now, but he won't listen to me, he's still sending things over. I don't even know what to say anymore, I've never seen such a stubborn child."

"Forget it, Mom. I'll go find him another day and have a good chat. "

"Ah!" Mother Cao immediately became nervous, "Xiao Lian, how are you and Little Li? "If you don't want to go, then you'd better not. It's better if you go mother's way, so that he won't know and it will affect you guys."

"Mom." Seeing her mother so nervous, Cao Xiaolian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Don't think too much. Li Yugeng is not that kind of person. Besides, asking Huang Fang to give him something is not a good idea."

Mother Cao thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright, then go. You just have to pay attention to your words. I think this child is not bad, so don't be too harsh."

It was the same with Mother Cao, she was worried that he would be injured.

Cao Xiaoxia was a person who only wished to stir up trouble. She immediately jumped out, "Mom, to be honest, don't you like Huang Fang a little more? I think he's more suited to my sister, local, and he's good-looking. "

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Mother Cao was so angry that she wanted to pinch her lips, but she was successful in dodging. She stuck her head out from behind Cao Xiaolian and revealed a sly smile, "But my brother-in-law is not bad right now. Please treat me to a big meal? Hmm, I'm just a bit too talkative."

Cao Xiaolian wondered if Li Yugeng would spit blood if he knew that she had deliberately made him look like a chatterbox.

"What? You guys have already met?"

"Ah, wasn't it the performance in the capital? Li YuGeng said he had a meal with her."

Upon hearing this, Cao Ma was at a loss. "Xiao Xia, this child, did he give you any trouble?"

Actually, she was afraid that Xiao Xia would lose her composure and be looked down upon.

"No, Mom. Dawn is amazing." Cao Xiaoling hadn't said anything, but now she simply said, "Li Yugeng's sister is from the same class as me. She also likes the sunset. Well, we got along pretty well anyways."

Hearing this, Mother Cao felt relieved.

For a mother, what could be better than having her daughter recognized by others?

"Oh right, there's even an elbow stew in the pot." Mother Cao beamed with joy, even the wrinkles on her face had disappeared. "You guys go ahead and chat, I'll go cook and dry my hair. This is not the capital, I have a bad cold without heating up."

"Sure, go ahead."

After Mother Cao happily left, Cao Xiaoxia said, "Sis, didn't you say you had something to say to mom?"

"Let's talk over dinner later."

Cao Xiaolian had already made up her mind. She was waiting for the table to be filled up.

By noon, a table was set for the delicacies.

"Oh, my favorite elbow, and the chicken. Mom, you're amazing. I love you so much."

Grandpa Li came out of the kitchen and untied his apron. "Your mom knows you like to eat. I've been preparing it since the day before yesterday."

He truly liked this pair of beautiful sisters. The two of them were sensible and obedient, but unfortunately, he didn't have that kind of good fortune.

Master Li put down his apron and was about to change into his shoes, but Cao Xiaolian stopped him, "Master Li, it's time to eat. Where are you going?"

"I-I still have some things to do, so I'll go back first. You guys have a nice meal." He looked at Mother Cao and said with mixed emotions, "Xiao Lian, spend more time with your mother. She is also suffering. Alright, you guys can eat. I will come again tomorrow."

"Sigh!"

If he left, what would I say?

"Grandpa Li, you can't leave!" Cao Xiaoxia blinked, "My sister is going to announce a joyous event later. If you leave, we won't be able to continue singing."

"What kind of show are you singing? It's not New Year's Eve yet."

Grandpa Li still didn't quite understand, but Mother Cao could see some clues from the two girls' faint smiles.

Her face immediately flushed red. 'No way, I've already kept this a secret. How did it still get exposed?'

Only Master Li was left, dragged to the dining table by the two sisters, listening to Cao Xiaoling reveal the secret.

"What!?"

He was stunned and the chopsticks in his hand dropped onto the table. "Xiao Lian, what did you say?"

"I'll tell you." She looked at Cao Xiaoxia and saw her sister smiling approvingly at her. Feeling relieved, she pursed her lips and said, "Xiao Xia and I want to leave mother in your care. I don't know if you are willing or not."

"I'm willing, I'm willing. Why wouldn't I be willing?"

At this point, if he still didn't understand what these children meant, then all these years of living would have been a waste.
