"Do we have paintbrushes?"
"Yes."
"Oh, oh, great!"
When i Shuqing brought them to the old i Family residence, a few people were already waiting.
Leading the group were Mr. i and Old Mrs. i, sitting on the sofa in the living room.
i Shuping ca out to welco them, having long hoped for his son’s return, and today his wish finally ca true.
"Xiao Yi, you’re back, co in quickly. Don’t let the child get sunburned," i Shuping naturally noticed the child in Han Yi’s arms.
That was his granddaughter!
A few years ago, when he learned Xiao Chi had a child, he was happy too, as it was his eldest grandchild.
But after all the drama between the couple, by the ti he saw the child, she was already over a year old.
Every ti he saw his grandson, it was always in a sneaky manner. He never imagined it would end in vain joy.
Last ti when he went to Z City, he paid attention to this little granddaughter at Han Yi’s place, but the adults were too intense that day, scaring the child. They didn’t even exchange words, nor did he get to hold her.
Han Yi naturally felt i Shuping’s gaze. Although he didn’t want to call him, since he’s here, he couldn’t avoid it, so he forcefully looked at i Shuping and called, "Dad."
"Ah, good, good, co in quickly," i Shuping couldn’t be happier.
"Xingxing, this is Grandpa, call Grandpa."
"Hello, Grandpa," Little Star said, scratching her head in confusion, unsure why he wasn’t Great Grandpa or Third Grandpa.
Because she already had a Grandpa.
Though puzzled, she didn’t ask since she noticed the old lady who argued with her mom that day. Now, she was sitting in the living room, glaring, which was quite frightening.
"Ah, Xingxing is so good, here, Grandpa will give you a red envelope, buy so candies, okay?" This was the happiest mont for i Shuping in years.
His son is a good one, though they don’t get along, but the granddaughter he gave him is indeed adorable.
He had prepared this red envelope for half a month, just waiting for them to co.
i Shuping took out a large red envelope from his pocket, anyone with keen eyes could tell it contained quite a bit.
Little Star had been in the circle of elders during these years, especially during New Years, Grandpa, Grandma, Uncles, and Aunties would give her a lot of New Year money, and she had asked Dad to save it for her as a dowry.
Looking at the thick red envelope, Little Star giggled and impulsively kissed i Shuping on the cheek. "Thank you, Grandpa."
i Shuping froze for a few seconds before realizing, overjoyed, he nearly choked.
There hadn’t been a joyful atmosphere in the family for many years, and they had never experienced such rrint.
Little Star’s kiss surprised everyone in the room.
i Shuqing felt a bit jealous, his granddaughter hadn’t kissed her at ho, a mistake, looks like she needs to go ho and prepare a big one.
Grandmaster i and Old Mrs. i also stood up enviously from the sofa; this was their great-granddaughter.
Last ti, when they arrived, the little girl imdiately spoke to her upon entering; however, she was unfamiliar at the ti. She quickly dove into her father’s arms, unwilling to engage with them.
In the end, it turned into an argunt, probably frightening her.
"Co, my great-granddaughter, Xingxing, call Great Grandpa, Great Grandpa has a red envelope too."
"Xingxing, this is Great Grandpa, Grandpa’s father, and this is Great Grandma, Grandpa’s mother," Han Yi set Little Star down and introduced them.
But Little Star looked at them, sowhat timid, glanced at Lin Wan, saw her give a hint.
Little Star imdiately understood, quickly ran to Grandmaster i and sweetly called out, "Great Grandpa."
Old Mrs. i eagerly pulled Little Star over to persuade her with affection, liking her imnsely.
"It’s good you’re back, it’s good you’re back. Please, everyone sit," the years left their marks like blemishes on walls, aging Mr. i’s face, though his smile lightened them sowhat, turning him into an approachable, kind elder.
"Grandpa, Grandma," Han Yi held Lin Wan’s hand and thoughtfully called out before sitting down.
Lin Wan also obediently followed suit.
However, the expression on their faces was sowhat indifferent, unsure if they felt close or distant.
Despite this, Mr. i was already joyous. He even prepared eting gifts for the two adults.
Even Old Mrs. i didn’t make it difficult for Lin Wan this ti, but neither did she seem very welcoming. Lin Wan could sense that Old Mrs. i wasn’t very fond of them either. Amidst the laughter brought by Little Star’s receiving several large red envelopes, a light snort unexpectedly ca from upstairs.
