This day is the day Su Zhi picks up Xiao Ai. Since the child becomes more and more talkative, Su Zhi no longer sends her back in advance. Basically, she will be picked up in the morning and returned at 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening. Once, he even discussed with the old man whether he could leave the child with her for the night. The old man naturally refused. Hearing this, he immediately asked Yang Ren to take him to Su Zhi, and returned after holding the child.
After this experience, the old man stipulated that every time Xiao Ai would come back before dinner, Su Zhi was very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do.
This day, the old man and Yang Ren came back to pick up Xiao Ai, and then had dinner together. Yang Yitong was there. He liked to eat the steamed dumplings made by Xu Yao. They were in the shape of little rabbits. No appetite either.
"What did your mother give you to eat?" The old man was a little unhappy.
Xiao Ai glanced at her grandfather and said, "Fang Fang." She couldn't speak clearly, always referring to "instant noodles" as "Fang Fang".
The old man threw down his chopsticks, his face sank, and said, "Take it away for a day and give you this? Just be a mother like this?"
Xiao Ai didn't speak, and stared at the table in a daze.

Yang Ren patted the back of the old man's hand, shook his head, and said softly, "Xiao Ai is big, don't tell her mother in front of her, she will be unhappy."
Because he is a child who grew up in a single-parent family, his childhood experiences and feelings can especially help him understand Xiao Ai. Children can't understand the conflicts of adults, or the mistakes made by one side of the adults. She only knows to protect her parents. No matter what they do, they are irreplaceable in her heart.
Although Xiao Ai didn't say anything, Yang Ren could see that she was not very happy.
The old man's face was worse than Xiao Ai's, he didn't care about this set at all, and started to say that Su Zhi's was not here. Yang Ren didn't have time to persuade him, so he had to look at Xu Yao, but he was eating with his head down, and he never participated in other people's conversations at the dinner table.
Yang Ren didn't know what to do, so he could only secretly stretch out his hand from behind and pat Xiao Ai's back lightly. Xiao Ai still didn't speak.
The old man remembered another thing that made him dissatisfied, and said to Yang Ren, "Xiao Ai is so old, she can't speak clearly, do you think it's because you stayed with Xu Yao for a long time to learn?"
Yang Ren was taken aback, and quickly glanced at Xu Yao, who was eating quietly beside him. For fear that he would hear it, he hurriedly whispered, "Don't say that, it's not good for Xu Yao to hear."
"Why not?" The old man picked up the chopsticks again, "I already told Xu Yao."
"I said godfather, what about you... When did you say that?" Yang Ren was so angry that he finally knew why Xu Yao avoided speaking in front of Xiao Ai, intentionally or not.

Yang Ren is very helpless to this stubborn and stubborn godfather. They are working hard every day to make Xu Yao live less closed. Xiaomeng said a few words in front of him, but the old man suddenly turned Xu Yao into a dull person.
Fortunately, Xiao Ai didn't dare to speak again because her grandfather said she was inarticulate. With Yang Yitong's company, Xiao Ai became more and more lively and cheerful. Sometimes she was more troublesome than Yang Yitong. Although the old man thinks this is not good, Yang Ren believes that children should release their own nature, and only children with a sense of security dare to be naughty.
By the time the kindergarten started again, the two children had already entered large classes. Even the teacher said that Xiao Ai is like a completely changed person.
The children still pick up each family, but Yang Ren goes to Xu's house every weekend, and occasionally brings Xiao Ai to his own house to play. Because she is beautiful and cute, Xiao Ai is deeply loved by her parents. Kang Xiaomeng is also very kind to her, but Xiao Ai is still a little recognizable. Except for Yang Ren and his son, she rarely talks to Tongtong's grandparents and aunts.
But grandma, grandma and aunt are still kind to her. Every time she is a guest, grandma Tongtong prepares a lot of delicious food. Besides eating, she also fills Xiaoai's pockets with snacks before leaving.
"Don't thank grandma yet?" Yang Ren said to Xiao Ai, who listened to Yang Ren very much, and then said thank you.
"Dad Yang, here it is." Xiao Ai took out the candy that Grandma Tong Tong put in her pocket and handed it to Yang Ren, who took it with a smile.

The first time the Yang family heard that Xiao Ai called Yang Ren her father, Yang Ren hurriedly explained, "Her grandfather is my godfather, so of course I am Xiaoai's godfather."
Yang Ren's parents thought it made sense, only Kang Xiaomeng coughed yin and yang on the side.
Yang Ren pretended not to understand the meaning, and urged Kang Xiaomeng to quickly boil the white fungus and lotus seed soup. Autumn is dry, Xu Yao has a cough these days, Yang Ren plans to make some from home and bring it to Xu's house.
This task was taken over by Kang Xiaomeng. She volunteered to cook the soup. Just as she was about to turn off the fire, she was stopped by Yang Ren. He was very dissatisfied. Is it called soup?"
"What do you mean?" Kang Xiaomeng took off her apron. She was going to pick up the heat preservation bucket, but when Yang Ren said that, she didn't understand.
Yang Ren said angrily, "You have to boil a food like Tremella slowly for at least an hour before the gelatin comes out."
Hearing this, Kang Xiaomeng frowned deliberately: "Why are you so troublesome? Why haven't I seen you cook so carefully for your son? Yes?"
Yang Ren ignored her teasing, took the apron, put it on himself, and went into battle in person.
