Zou Ya walked in from the side hall and stood beside the sofa. She shouted, “Granny.”
Wen Li reached out and pulled Zou Ya to her side. She taught Zou Ya how to recognize people. “Xiao Ya, call Granny Li and Auntie Jiang.”
Zou Ya straightened his body and greeted them obediently. At such a young age, he seemed more mature than her peers.
Jiang An smiled and nodded in response. Then, she quickly sized up Zou Ya and realized that Zou Ya’s hair was a little flaxen brown. He had black eyes and three-dimensional facial features. They were different from the exquisite facial features of the Zou family. He had more pronounced facial features.
Li Mei asked curiously, “Wow, who’s child is this handsome young man?”
Wen Li smiled and replied, “My eldest’s. He’ll be five years old in a few months.”
When Li Mei heard this, she could not help but sigh. “Sigh, I’m not as lucky as you. You have many grandchildren. Three of the four children have already started families and careers. You know my family’s situation. All of them are gone. I only have Little Feather and Little Wingsy now. I’m the one who’s so worried that my hair is about to turn white.”
Wen Li comforted her, “The children and grandchildren have their own blessings. However, Jiang An’s state is so good, so she definitely won’t have to worry about getting married. You just have to worry more about your three other children.”
Zou Ya’s attention was attracted by Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu also looked up at Zou Ya with a curious expression.
Jiang Yu usually played with Jiang Yi at home alone and did not have many companions. When Zou Ya, this little older brother, appeared, she grabbed the ring tightly and was a little excited. Her short legs kicked hard a few times and she shouted, “Brother.”
Wen Li quickly placed Jiang Yu on the ground. “Little Feather wants to play with Older Brother, right? Alright, Grandma will get Older Brother to bring you around our house.”
Jiang Yu was also easily attracted by looks. She immediately took a few steps forward and grabbed Zou Ya’s hand. Then, she revealed a sweet smile and didn’t even look at her grandmother and mother behind her. Her eyes were bright as she stared straight at Zou Ya.
Jiang An touched her forehead helplessly and whispered to Aunt Sang, “Aunt Sang, watch over the two children later.”
Aunt Sang nodded in agreement. Zou Ya saw the hint in Wen Li’s eyes and held Jiang Yu’s small hand tightly. “Sister, can 1 bring you out to play?”
Jiang Yu nodded vigorously. “I play with Brother!”
Zou Ya first politely bid the elders present goodbye before holding Jiang Yu’s hand and walking to the side hall. Auntie Zhang immediately brought two servants to take care of them.
Only the adults were left in the living room. When Wen Li spoke again, she kept talking about Jiang An, intentionally and not. “An’an, I heard that you’ve been busy with your career? You definitely have to spend time on it, but you can’t forget about your love life.”
Jiang An didn’t expect her love life to be mentioned. She smiled calmly and said, “Auntie, now that the two children and my career have taken up all my time, how can 1 have time to care about love life? Sometimes, I’m so busy that my feet barely touch the ground.”
When Li Mei heard Jiang An’s reply, she approved of it in her heart. When she looked at Wen Li, her face was full of smiles. “Wen Li, I’m the least anxious about Jiang An’s marriage. She’s young. Her first marriage was a sloppy marriage that caused the current consequences. If she gets married again, she’ll have to choose carefully. She can’t be rushed!”
Jiang An sat obediently, as if she was letting Li Mei arrange it. Although Wen Li was thoughtful, it was not appropriate to be too obvious about this matter. She could only create an opportunity herself. “An’an, come to our house often when you’re free. Auntie is very free. Coincidentally, 1 have children at home. The children can play together.”
Jiang An took it as polite words and nodded with a smile. “As long as Auntie Zou doesn’t mind us troubling you.”
Aa for Zou Ya, he had always remembered the mission Wen Li had given him. Originally, he had said that he wanted to take care of the two younger siblings. Now that he only had one sister, it was even easier to take care of her.
Zou Ya held Jiang Yu’s small hand and walked slowly. “Sister, can 1 take you to see the goldfish?”
Jiang Yu looked up and smiled as she followed Zou Ya. “Fish, go!”
Seeing how cooperative Jiang Yu was, Zou Ya’s eyes curved into crescents as he brought her to the backyard.
The backyard of the Zou family was inspired by the Jiangnan garden. It covered an area of a few hectares and had a man-made lake, a pavilion in the middle of the lake, and various exotic flowers.
There were many lotus flowers planted in the lake. Although it was the end of spring and there were no lotus flowers in bloom, one could see a large piece of duckweed. It also had a different atmosphere. From the shore to the pavilion in the middle of the lake, other than walking on the wooden bridge, one could also row a boat over..
