In the evening, the owner of Bai Family’s spicy hotpot restaurant left early.
Because there was something going on at home.
Bai Ju had arrived, and today Bai Song had also received a call and taken a leave, agreeing that the whole family would have dinner together tonight, which was also a good time for Bai Yue to discuss Bai Xiao’s marriage.
She really couldn’t bring herself to just quietly marry off her sister; at the very least, she had to prepare a dowry for Bai Xiao.
So tonight was of great significance.
Bai Yue got into the car, Wang Yan drove, and when they arrived home and entered, they saw the old man holding Little Tangyuan up high.
The chubby Little Tangyuan laughed gleefully there, and when Wang Old Head put her down, she crawled over unwillingly, tugged at the old man’s hand, and pointed into the air, meaning she still wanted her grandfather to lift her up high.
Wang Old Head actually didn’t mind and lifted his granddaughter up high again.
This left Wang Yan and Bai Yue stunned.
Because they had returned late last night, Little Tangyuan had already fallen asleep by the time they got back.
So they didn’t know about the situation between Tangyuan and the old man.
Today was the first time they apparently saw Wang Old Head and Tangyuan interacting.
The grandfather and granddaughter were actually playing very happily.
Wang Yan was delighted, walked over, and reached out to hold Tangyuan. "Come here, come to Daddy, don’t tire your grandfather out."
But the hand he stretched out was slapped away by Wang Old Head.
"Off you go, you just came in from outside, and you’re so cold. What are you holding? You might give Tangyuan a cold. Besides, I’m not tired," he said, smiling merrily while holding his granddaughter, "We Tangyuan knows, grandfather isn’t tired, right?"
Tangyuan happily threw herself at him, her chubby little hands tightly clutching Wang Old Head’s neck, and he looked even more pleased.
His granddaughter was so dear to him.
Wang Yan felt awkward, now even being disliked.
The old lady brought out the steamed egg custard. "Here it comes, here comes Little Tangyuan’s meal."
Wang Old Head sat on the sofa with Tangyuan, placing her in his lap, while the old lady took out a handkerchief to tie around Tangyuan’s neck, then began to spoon-feed her the egg custard one bite at a time.
Little Tangyuan, after each bite, would look at both grandparents and even pushed the spoon from the old lady to Wang Old Head’s mouth, signaling that she wanted her grandfather to eat too.
Wang Old Head pretended to bite at the air dramatically, satisfying Tangyuan who then happily took another bite. After finishing it, the next time she pushed the spoon toward the old lady’s mouth. The old lady, also smiling, mimicked a bite at the air, and then the spoon went into Tangyuan’s mouth once more.
"Our Tangyuan is so good, so young and already knows how to respect her grandparents. Tangyuan, you need to grow up well, eat more so you can grow strong. When you can walk, your grandparents will hold your hands, one on each side, and we could go for a stroll on the street, how about that?" The old lady murmured to Tangyuan, feeding her and chatting.
Wang Yan and Bai Yue discovered, sitting at the base of the car, that they, the parents of the child, were completely left out by them.
Bai Yue looked at Tangyuan, who was thoroughly enjoying her current life, probably because a while ago, when Wang Yan was away, she had resolutely sent Tangyuan to daycare, and now the little one wasn’t as close to her.
The little girl still bore a grudge.
But seeing how genuinely the old man and old lady adored Tangyuan, what could she say?
The couple retired to their room on their own.
The two changed clothes and prepared to cook; they had already bought the groceries on the way back from passing the vegetable market.
Besides cooking, what else was there for them to do?
