After kindergarten today, Yang Xiaoxi was very unhappy because she couldn't go to Ruoruo's house to eat the snacks made by Feng's father. On the way home with her father, the little girl kept pouting and turning her head away, ignoring her father.
While driving, Yang Zhiyi looked at his daughter and felt helpless.
"Xixi, your grandparents are here today. Grandma has made delicious food for you. If you don't go home to eat, she will be sad."
After hearing what his father said, Yang Xiaoxi turned around and said to his father, "Then we can go to Ruoruo's house to have some snacks first, and then go home."
After finishing her words, the little girl turned her head away again, unwilling to look at her father.
Yang Zhiyi continued, "Oh, grandpa and grandma have been waiting for Xixi at home for a long time. They can't wait to see Xixi, so we can't waste time. Besides, if Xixi takes the snacks home and eats them, how can she eat the meal cooked by grandma?"
Yang Xiaoxi turned around again and said to her father, "Dad Feng's snacks are delicious, so Xixi likes to eat them. Besides, after eating snacks, Xixi will eat well."
Having said that, the little girl turned her head away again.
Yang Zhiyi felt a little amused when he saw his daughter turning towards him to speak, and then turning back after speaking.
"Okay, it's Daddy's fault. We should have gone to Ruoruo's house first. Daddy promised Xixi that next time we will go to Ruoruo's house first, pick up the snacks and then go home."
Yang Xiaoxi turned her head again and said, "But Xixi can't have Father Feng's snacks today."
Seeing his daughter's tearful face, Yang Zhiyi quickly said to her, "It's okay. Ruoruo will definitely ask Father Feng to save some for Xixi. When Xixi goes there tomorrow, she can still eat it."
Yang Xiaoxi couldn't hold back her tears. The little girl said sadly, "No, it's not like that. Tomorrow, Father Feng will make new snacks, so we won't be able to eat today's snacks. Dad is so mean. He won't let Xixi eat Father Feng's snacks. What a mean dad."
Seeing that his daughter was getting sadder and was already crying, Yang Zhiyi quickly reached out and wiped the tears from her daughter's face.
"Okay, Daddy is wrong, Daddy is wrong, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry..."
But the more Yang Zhiyi tried to coax his daughter, the harder Yang Xiaoxi cried.
Moreover, Yang Xiaoxi was not crying or making a fuss, she was just silently shedding tears, which made Yang Zhiyi feel distressed. Finally, he could not help but slam on the brakes and stopped the car on the side of the road.
After stopping the car, Yang Zhiyi first took out a tissue and carefully wiped the tears from his daughter's face.
But while his colleague was wiping her tears, her daughter was still crying, leaving Yang Zhiyi a little helpless.
After thinking it over, Yang Zhiyi said to his daughter, "Okay, don't cry, Daddy's little darling. Daddy will drive you home now. We will go to Ruoruo's house and take home the snacks that Daddy Feng made today. But Xixi must promise Daddy that she will eat first after returning home, and not just snacks."
After hearing what his father said, Yang Xiaoxi looked up at his father and asked him seriously, "Really?"
When Yang Zhiyi saw his daughter stop crying, he quickly wiped her face with a tissue.
"Okay, don't cry. Daddy is serious. Let's go back now and get some snacks from Ruoruo's house. Then we'll go pick up Mom first and then go home together, okay?"
This time, Yang Xiaoxi finally burst into laughter: "Well, Dad is so nice."
Yang Zhiyi also looked helpless. Facing his daughter's praise, he could only smile and nod: "Yeah, now it's okay to talk about daddy."
Yang Zhiyi did not turn the car around immediately, but instead called his parents who were waiting at home.
When Yang Xiaoxi’s grandmother heard that she would have to wait a while before she could go back, she sounded a little anxious on the other end of the phone.
"Why does it take so long? Didn't Xixi finish school a long time ago? I told you that you should find a kindergarten closer to home for Xixi. You had to go so far away, making it so troublesome for her to run back and forth every day."
Hearing his mother's complaints and nagging on the phone, Yang Zhiyi had no choice but to explain.
"Mom, Xixi and I will pick up Fei'er from get off work, and then we will go home together. Didn't you prepare dinner? It's just right for us to eat when we get home."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then after a long while, Yang Xiaoxi's grandfather said, "Okay, you guys come back early, grandma has made a lot of delicious food for Xixi."
Yang Zhiyi heard his father's voice on the other end of the phone and knew that his mother was a little unhappy when she mentioned his wife. He could only say, "Okay, we'll be back soon."
After hanging up the phone, Yang Zhiyi turned his head and looked at his daughter.
Yang Xiaoxi looked at her father expectantly: "Are grandpa and grandma unhappy?"
Although the daughter said this, the expectant look on her face clearly showed that she hoped her father would take her to Feng Ruoruo's house to get snacks as promised.
Yang Zhiyi could only say, "It's okay. Let's go get some snacks first, and then pick up mom. When we get home, Xixi should try to please grandma, tell her that she misses grandpa and grandma, and praise grandma's food for being delicious, okay?"
Yang Xiaoxi nodded first, but then said, "Dad, Teacher Fang said that children should not lie."
Yang Zhiyi was a little confused when he heard his daughter's words, but he quickly said, "You didn't lie. Dad didn't ask Xixi to lie. He asked Xixi to praise grandma. Doesn't Xixi miss grandpa and grandma? Grandma worked so hard to make dinner for Xixi. Shouldn't Xixi encourage grandma?"
After his father's persuasion, Yang Xiaoxi finally nodded: "Okay."
After communicating with his daughter, Yang Zhiyi turned the car around and quickly returned to the old street.
When the father and daughter returned to Su Ji, the business was booming. Although there was no queue at the door, there were already more than ten tables of guests sitting inside.
Su Ruoxi was busy listening to the customers' orders and recording them on the list in her hand.
Lu Cuiling also helped to greet the guests and tidy up the tables and chairs.
Su Jinrong sat next to the cashier counter, looking at the busy restaurant, while also looking at his granddaughter who was busy running around the restaurant.
The first people Su Ruoxi saw coming in were Yang Zhiyi and his daughter Yang Xiaoxi.
While writing down the customer's order, Su Ruoxi asked curiously, "Why is Xixi back?"
Yang Xiaoxi smiled and said to Su Ruoxi, "Aunt Su, my father and I came back to get the snacks that Father Feng made today."
Su Ruoxi laughed when she heard this: "So you came back to get some snacks. I was just wondering, you and Feifei left the kindergarten and forgot to come get some snacks. You can't eat here, you can take them back."
Yang Xiaoxi nodded and said, "Yes, that's why I asked my dad to bring me back to get it."
Then, the little girl looked around and asked, "Auntie, didn't Feifei come back to get it?"
Su Ruoxi shook her head: "No, Feifei's family doesn't have a car, so it might be inconvenient for her to come back."
Yang Xiaoxi nodded and asked, "Auntie, what about Ruoruo?"
Su Ruoxi pointed to the kitchen and said, "Ruoruo, go to the kitchen and give the menu to Dad. You can go in now and chat with Ruoruo while you ask Dad Feng to pack the snacks for you."
Yang Xiaoxi agreed immediately: "Okay, then I'll go find Ruoruo and Father Feng."
Seeing his daughter running to the kitchen, Yang Zhiyi quickly reminded her, "Xixi, we still have to go pick up mom. You should get the snacks and come out. Don't waste time in there."
However, Yang Xiaoxi didn’t know whether her father’s reminder was taken to heart or not, as the little girl had already quickly run into the kitchen.
At the same time Yang Xiaoxi entered the kitchen, Feng Ruoruo just came out.
The two little girls bumped into each other just inside the kitchen door.
"Oh, who is it?"
"Oh, if it's me."
"Hey, Xixi, why are you back?"
“Hehehe, I’ll ask Dad to take me back to get the snacks that Father Feng made today.”
"That's great. Dad has already prepared it. He was going to keep it, but then he said he couldn't keep it and had to eat it in the evening. Now that you're here, you can just take it home and eat it."
After saying that, Feng Ruoruo pulled her good friend and went straight into the kitchen.
"Dad, dad, look, Xixi is here, hurry up and take out Xixi's snacks."
Feng Yifan was busy cooking. When he heard his daughter's words, he turned around and saw that it was Yang Xiaoxi who came. He greeted the girl with a smile.
"Xixi is here, wait a moment, Father Feng will finish cooking this dish soon."
Yang Xiaoxi said happily: "Okay, Dad Feng, take your time."
Feng Yifan was naturally not slow. He quickly stir-fried the dishes in the pot, took them out, put them on a plate, and asked Lin Ruifeng to take them out and serve them.
He went to the refrigerator and took out the snacks he had prepared for the girls.
Seeing the green cake, Yang Xiaoxi also liked it very much. She clapped her hands and said, "It's so beautiful. The desserts made by Father Feng are really beautiful."
Feng Yifan packed the food in a small box, handed it to the little girl and said, "Okay, this is for Xixi. I heard that Xixi's grandparents came to see Xixi. Xixi, please help Daddy Feng and Ruoruo say hello to their grandparents. Daddy Feng will then give some food to Xixi's grandparents."
As he spoke, Feng Yifan went to the refrigerator again, took out a piece of braised pork, and also cut it and put it in the lunch box.
"This braised pork is given by Father Feng to Xixi's grandparents to try."
The little girl took it in her hands and said with a smile: "Thank you, Father Feng. Xixi will definitely give it to grandpa and grandma."
Feng Ruoruo said to her good friend: "Xixi, don't forget to say hello to grandpa and grandma. Say hello to dad and Ruoruo as well. Invite grandpa and grandma to come to our house tomorrow to play."
Yang Xiaoxi nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll go home and tell my grandparents."
Feng Yifan gently touched the two little girls' heads and said, "Then you two can go out first. Ruoruo, can you help daddy to see Xixi off?"
Feng Ruoruo immediately agreed: "Okay, Dad, I'll help you send Xixi off."
Soon the two little girls left the kitchen together, and Feng Yifan continued to cook the next dish.
Yang Zhiyi was worried that his daughter would stay in the kitchen for a long time, but he didn't expect that not long after she went in, she came out with Feng Ruoruo, holding two boxes in her hands.
Seeing this, he took the initiative to step forward and take the things from his daughter's hand.
"Oh, your father Feng really spoils you guys, making so many snacks for you."
Yang Xiaoxi said immediately, "No, Daddy Feng made me a cake, and this is for my grandparents. Daddy Feng also asked me to say hello to my grandparents and invite them to come over to play tomorrow. Daddy, you don't know that."
After hearing what his daughter said, Yang Zhiyi quickly said, "Oh, okay, I'm sorry, it's Dad who didn't understand."
Feng Ruoruo also spoke to her good friend’s father on his behalf: “Uncle Yang, when you go back, please help Xixi to say hello to her grandparents. Say hello to my dad and me as well. My dad and I both welcome Xixi’s grandparents to come visit. Remember to tell them.”
Yang Zhiyi smiled and said, "Okay, Uncle Yang will definitely tell grandpa and grandma."
Afterwards, although the little girls were a little reluctant to leave, they were able to part relatively smoothly.
Yang Zhiyi took his daughter back to the car and drove quickly to his wife's workplace.
Originally, Yang Zhiyi had made an appointment with his wife to send their daughter home and then pick up his wife from get off work, so the timing was just right.
But now it was already late when I went back to Su Ji, so I could only take my daughter to pick up my wife from get off work.
Actually, Yang Zhiyi actually hoped so, because he would feel it would be more appropriate for the whole family to go back together to face their parents.
There are indeed some irreconcilable conflicts between Yang Zhiyi and his parents, or rather, between his daughter-in-law Li Feier and her parents-in-law.
Simply put, Yang Zhiyi's parents hope that he and Li Fei'er can have another grandson.
But Li Fei'er is a very career-oriented person. Plus, she works in a TV station, and the nature of her job requires a lot from her, so she doesn't want to have another child.
Firstly, it would affect her work, and secondly, she felt that she might not be able to take care of two children.
This incident became an irreconcilable conflict between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Later, Yang Zhiyi had no choice but to move out with his wife and daughter.
But moving out also brought further conflicts, making the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law even more strained.
Now Yang Zhiyi is also helpless, but he doesn’t know how to reconcile this relationship
I subconsciously glanced at my daughter sitting in the passenger seat and saw that she was holding the cake box in her little hands and looking around.
Yang Zhiyi suddenly felt that it was fortunate that he had a daughter, and that the grandparents would remain kind when their granddaughter was present.
Yang Zhiyi couldn't even imagine what the situation would be like if the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were alone together.
Soon the car arrived at the TV station and Li Feier was already waiting. She felt very tired from working on the Fujinglou competition program these days.
Seeing her husband's car, Li Feier took the initiative to walk out. When she got in the car, she saw her daughter in it and was a little surprised: "Why is Xixi here too? Aren't you going to send Xixi home to accompany her parents first? What did you do with Xixi?"
After hearing what her mother said, Yang Xiaoxi raised the box in her hand and said, "Mom, Dad took me back to get the snacks that Dad Feng made. Dad Feng also gave Grandpa and Grandma a delicious meal and asked me to take it home for them to eat. Ruoruo and Dad Feng also invited Grandpa and Grandma to play."
After listening to her daughter's long speech, Li Feier's tiredness disappeared immediately. She smiled and said, "Our Xixi is becoming more and more like Ruoruo. She is becoming more and more talkative and good at speaking."
Yang Zhiyi saw his wife smiling and thought it would be okay for him to go home in this mood, so he quickly started the car.
