The two naturally understood, and Xinyan immediately took out a pack of homemade dried fruits from her bag, actually from her space: "Granny, thank you for telling us all this. These dried fruits were given by a friend; they aren’t worth much, but you can give them to your kids as a treat."
Granny looked surprised, clearly not expecting that a few words would yield benefits: "How can I be so bold?"
Xinyan directly stuffed them into her hand: "Just take it, didn’t you say we have a good vibe together before?"
Granny laughed heartily: "Alright then, I’ll shamelessly accept it. My little grandson will be so happy. I live in the white little building, courtyard number six behind here. Just ask Granny Ruan if you have time, come visit us at home."
Then the two of them chatted away, almost becoming best friends despite the age gap. Finally, Granny Ruan, the gossip master, spilled all the latest news of the research institute’s community.
The useful information obtained was that Ye Liyan, the coveted person, was desired by many families.
Indirectly, many were trying to please Ye Silai and Ye Siyan, but both kids were truly smart. They were not like other kids in the neighborhood, easily swayed by small benefits. Despite their young age, they had strong principles.
Xinyan felt a sense of pride hearing this. These were kids she had raised; their character couldn’t be bad.
At this moment, the kindergarten’s dismissal bell rang, and Granny Ruan pointed to the usual spot: "Let’s go over there. If we stand there, they’ll see us immediately when they come out."
Xinyan and He Jinxuan went over. First, the younger class came out.
Next was the middle class, which included Granny Ruan’s grandson. Granny Ruan greeted Xinyan after picking up her grandson, ready to head home, not forgetting to say: "Xiao Han, this little guy needs food right after school every day; I’ll take him back now."
Xinyan smiled and nodded at Aunt Ruan: "Kids get hungry quickly, hurry and take him home."
She also took out a Big White Rabbit candy from her pocket to the little grandson: "Auntie gives you some candy."
Granny Ruan wasn’t shy with Xinyan: "Quickly, thank Auntie."
Granny Ruan’s grandson was obedient: "Thank you, Auntie."
Xinyan smiled and nodded at him: "Good boy, go home with grandma then."
Granny Ruan pulled her grandson: "Quickly say goodbye to Auntie."
The child waved to Xinyan. Seeing her grandson so well-behaved today, Granny Ruan was all smiles: "Xiao Han, we’re leaving, come visit us at home sometime."
After saying that, she left pulling her grandson along.
When Xinyan looked back at the kindergarten gate, she saw the teacher leading the older class out, and she immediately spotted Ye Silai and Ye Siyan standing in line: "Jinxuan, why is Siyan in the same class as Silai?"
He Jinxuan looked at his two nephews: "It was Silai’s request. What you taught them before, not just kindergarten—it’s enough for first or second grade in primary school. To better take care of his brother, Silai requested that Siyan joins him in the big class."
Upon hearing this, Xinyan couldn’t help but express: "Silai truly is responsible."
He Jinxuan glanced at the young lady beside him: "During that time, you taught the two children very well."
He understood that without Xinyan, his two nephews might not have their lively personalities today.
When they first arrived at the Mechanical Factory, one was aloof, the other timid; one was full of thorns, the other always sought to hide behind his brother. The two kids couldn’t fit into the family community. He was anxious at the time, but no matter what he said, they remained set in their ways until Xinyan’s appearance changed them.
Thinking of this, he looked at Xinyan even more tenderly; this woman who would spend her life with him, their future children would certainly be well raised by her.
At that moment, the two kids in the line saw them, and Ye Siyan jumped excitedly: "Uncle, Aunt Yan."
Pushing the children in front, eager to rush out of the school gate.
At that moment, Xinyan also understood why Silai wanted Siyan in the same class—it was likely because Teacher Miao, after failing to pursue Ye Liyan, turned to bullying Siyan.
That’s right, she figured it out. Teacher Miao indeed targeted the child, only to be caught by Silai when he went to the bathroom, who then told Ye Liyan at home. That’s why Siyan changed classes from Teacher Miao’s class.
As soon as the two little ones came out of the school gates, they rushed towards them. Ye Siyan ran into Xinyan’s arms: "Aunt Yan, brother and I missed you; why did it take so long for you to come see us?"
Xinyan lifted the little guy up: "Aunt Yan missed you too, but Aunt Yan has classes every day just like you, so I couldn’t come to see you sooner. Can you understand and be considerate of Aunt Yan?"
