Chapter 520: Chapter 520: The Other Three Spoiled Brats (3)_1 Chapter 520: Chapter 520: The Other Three Spoiled Brats (3)_1 Ruan Jianguo naturally had no objection and nodded.
Shu Jiao then lifted her head from his chest, looking slightly uncertain as she asked, “So, do you think mom would let Jiaojiao go with us to pick up my dad?”
Of course, Shu Jiao had her own hidden desires; she hoped to show her husband and children the ho where she once lived and grew up.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Jianguo couldn’t help but laugh. Shu Jiao, puzzled, watched him as his laughter grew louder and she began to feel annoyed. She slapped him lightly, then heard Ruan Jianguo chuckle and say, “My silly wife, after all these years, can’t you read mom yet?”
“As long as her precious darling says sothing, when has she ever disagreed? For this matter, you just need to talk to Jiaojiao. If she’s willing, our mom will be too.”
“However, it’s not certain Jiaojiao would want to go with us.” A month ago, the Feng Family had moved away, apparently to Beidu, and it was only after Ruan Jiaojiao heard this news that she finally let out a sigh of relief.
She had a deep fear of Feng Nianian and probably wouldn’t want to go where she might be.
Hearing this, Shu Jiao also thought about it and stopped talking. Although she had her own wishes, her daughter was still more important.

Ruan Jiaojiao’s birthday coincidentally fell on the day of the midterm awards ceremony; they only had classes in the first half of the day, with two regular lessons in the morning followed by the awards ceremony, and then school would end at noon.
The Ruanlin Family had prepared early, inviting Zhao Li’s family. The other three branches of the family would also return today, and coupled with Ruan Jiaojiao winning first place, she was over the moon. She told all her sons and daughters-in-law that she wanted to have a big celebration for this birthday, and no one was allowed to be absent.
To share this joy with everyone, she got up early and prepared red-dyed eggs for Ruan Jiaojiao’s birthday.
She even thought of the school’s teachers and students, getting up early to boil exactly eighty-eight red-dyed eggs for Ruan Jiaojiao.
There were thirty students in Ruan Jiaojiao’s class, including her and Xiu Xi, plus six teachers; each person would get one, which made thirty-six eggs in total. Excluding these thirty-six eggs, the Ruanlin Family prepared an additional ten eggs for Ruan Jiaojiao to share with other classmates not in her class with whom she was close friends.
Shu Jiao prepared candies for Ruan Jiaojiao, several pounds worth, ensuring that each classmate could get at least two. She instructed Ruan Jiaojiao to take them to school and share them with her classmates and anyone else she wished to share with.
So on this day, when Ruan Jiaojiao went to school, Xiu Xi carried a backpack full of books, while Ruan Wei and Ruan Feng carried twenty-three eggs each, and Ruan Wei and Ruan Lei carried the candies. Ruan Jiaojiao — she skipped ahead with her short little legs, strolling along and sipping her just-right warm goat’s milk, cheerfully humming a tune.
Little Fatty took a mont to dig out a candy from his pocket, unwrapped it with one hand, popped it into his mouth, and after a couple of sucks, called out to Ruan Jiaojiao ahead, “Sis, are you going to give out candies to your old classmates too?”
Ruan Jiaojiao turned her head and replied, “I will.” Because in her previous class, there were a few with whom she was still quite friendly, especially Yuan Xiaodong and Xu Weiyi. They ca to play with her and Xiu Xi whenever they were free, so naturally, she planned to share so candies and red eggs with them.
Little Fatty nodded in understanding. Rembering that Wa Yiting was also in that class, he said, “Then I’ll go with you. Don’t go by yourself.” He was afraid that Wa Yiting might bully their sister when they weren’t around.
