Originally, Guo Jingyi should have gone back after eating the wontons, but because her aunt was there, Guo Jingyi played with the three little girls for a while longer.
Playing for a while longer allowed Guo Hong to see the lively side of her niece.
In Guo Hong's eyes, her little niece was always gentle and refined, and she had never been as lively and cheerful as she was now, and she had never been able to laugh so heartily.
So Guo Hong was very happy to see such a little niece and didn't want to urge the little girl to go back at all.
Unfortunately, Guo Jingyi's parents soon came from home.
Any parent would be very worried because the daughter said she was going downstairs to eat wontons, but never came back.
When they arrived at the small market, Guo Jingyi's parents were somewhat surprised to see their daughter wearing an apron and protective sleeves, running and playing with three little girls in the small market.
What was most incredible to Guo Jingyi's parents was that their daughter could laugh so happily.
The parents were really surprised to see their daughter following three little girls, seemingly running around in the small market, but actually helping to clean up things and clear out garbage.
When Guo Hong saw her brother and sister-in-law coming over, she also moved closer to them.
"Brother, sister-in-law, why are you here?"
When Guo Jingyi's father saw his sister was also here, he was a little surprised: "Why are you here?"
Guo Jingyi's mother exclaimed, "Oh my! Our great dancer is actually eating in a place like this?"
Guo Hong heard her sister-in-law's exclamation, smiled and said, "How can I come here to eat? I heard that the owner of this stall was the chef of Su Ji before. He was a five-star chef, so amazing, and now I am the teacher of the boss's daughter."
After hearing what his sister said, the elder brother asked in surprise, "How did you become someone's daughter's teacher?"
Guo Hong proudly said to her brother: "Is it not okay to collect it today?"
When the sister-in-law heard what her sister said, she smiled and said, "You are a teacher, and you have students but you still go to their homes to eat? It will be bad if it gets out."
Guo Hong said nonchalantly: "I did spend money, okay? I paid for your daughter's dinner."
Guo Jingyi's parents looked at each other, and then the couple stopped their daughter who was running past them.
Guo Jingyi was also a little surprised when she saw her parents.
"Dad, Mom, why are you here?"
The mother shook her head helplessly: "How dare you say that? What time is it? We were waiting for you to finish eating the wontons and come back home, but you are just playing here and don't want to go home."
Guo Jingyi suddenly looked like a child who had done something wrong. She stood in front of her parents with her head lowered, not daring to speak.
Feng Ruoruo saw Sister Guo standing in front of a pair of uncles and aunts with her head down, and the little girl quickly ran over to protect her.
"You are not allowed to bully Sister Guo."
Guo Jingyi's parents were stunned, looking at the little girl who stood out with a baby face but pretended to be fierce. She was still young, but she stood up to protect her sister Guo Jingyi. Guo Jingyi's parents were really surprised.
Then the other two little girls also ran over, and the three little girls worked together to protect their sister Guo.
Seeing the look on his brother and sister-in-law's faces, Guo Hong couldn't help but laugh: "How is it? Brother, sister-in-law, do you think your daughter has no one to protect her? Your daughter is protected by someone now, you can't just scold her casually, otherwise her child will be unhappy."
Hearing Guo Hong's words, Guo Jingyi's parents were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Chen Yaofei pulled Feng Ruoruo and Yang Xiaoxi and said, "Ruoruo, Xixi, these two are Sister Guo's parents, did we make a mistake?"
Guo Jingyi was also moved by her three sisters. She reached out and pulled them to her side, saying, "I'm not being bullied. These two are my parents. I was so busy playing with you that I forgot to go home. So they came to look for me. I'm going home now."
As Guo Jingyi spoke, she began to take off her apron and sleeves.
Feng Ruoruo turned around and hugged Guo Jingyi: "Sister Guo, please don't leave. Didn't we agree to play together until my dad, Uncle Xiaolin, and Aunt Zhao close the stalls?"
Yang Xiaoxi also rushed over: "Yes, yes, Sister Guo, please don't leave."
Chen Yaofei rushed over and hugged Guo Jingyi: "Sister Guo, please tell uncle and auntie to play with us for a while."
Guo Jingyi looked at her three younger sisters, then raised her head to look at her parents.
Guo Jingyi's parents looked at each other in bewilderment.
It was the father who spoke up again: "We didn't say we were going to take you back. Mom and I just came to check on you and find out why you haven't come home yet."
At this time, my mother looked at my aunt and said, "It's your aunt. She is here too. Why didn't she call us?"
Guo Hong smiled and hugged her sister-in-law's arm and said, "Okay, okay, sister-in-law is right. This is my fault today. I should have called you and my brother. Don't be angry, don't be angry."
If you had seen this pair of aunt and sister-in-law before, you would have thought that they had a bad relationship.
But in fact, it is precisely because the relationship between the aunt and the sister-in-law is good that they can speak to each other so casually.
In fact, Guo Hong and her sister-in-law are alumni.
Sister-in-law Guo Hong also used to be a student at a dance academy, and the two of them had performed on the same stage together. Later, Sister-in-law Guo Hong did not continue dancing, but returned to Huaicheng to work.
It was also by chance that Guo Hong returned to Huaicheng and met her sister-in-law, and the two became friends and besties.
What happened later was that Guo Hong's brother fell in love with his current sister-in-law, and Guo Hong helped a lot in the pursuit process.
So even though the two became sisters-in-law later, they were still best friends.
Guo Jingyi looked at her parents and her aunt, and for a moment she really didn't know what to do.
Guo Hong smiled and said to her niece, "Okay, go play with your sisters. Your parents just came to see what you are doing. They will feel relieved when they see you. You guys just play your own games."
After hearing what her aunt said, Guo Jingyi finally looked at her parents.
Obviously Guo Jingyi still felt that she wouldn't dare to go out and play like this without her parents' consent.
Finally, Dad said, "Go and play for a while. It's okay. Mom and I are really hungry now. Let's try the wontons you've been craving for."
Feng Ruoruo immediately said, "Uncle and aunt, you must try my dad's wontons. They are very delicious. Also, you should go buy some sesame seed cakes. After eating the wontons, you can soak them in the sesame seed cakes."
Guo Jingyi's parents were also stunned when they heard Feng Ruoruo's sales pitch.
Guo Jingyi smiled and said to her parents, "Mom and Dad, let me tell you how to eat their wontons. You should buy a bowl of small wontons and remember to ask for more soup. Then you should also buy a sesame seed cake. You can eat the wontons first, or you can eat them while the soup is still hot."
The parents were somewhat surprised to hear their daughter's translation.
Then Guo Jingyi's parents went to buy two bowls of wontons as their daughter asked, but unfortunately the sesame cakes were out of stock.
It was Su Ruoxi who asked for two sesame cakes from her own stall for Guo Jingyi's parents.
Guo Jingyi's parents were very grateful when they received the sesame cakes.
Su Ruoxi smiled and said, "Jingyi's parents, you're welcome. Jingyi helped us a lot here today, and even took the children from our three families to play. We should thank you."
Guo Jingyi's father waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. Actually, we were quite surprised to see our daughter's cheerful personality change today."
Guo Hong immediately said to her brother: "Brother, look, I told you guys that you should let Jingyi go out and play more, instead of staying at home all the time."
When the sister-in-law heard what Guo Hong said, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "But she has to be willing to come out, too."
Guo Hong immediately smiled and said, "Look, haven't we found a place to play today? Come here more often to eat and play more often in the future."
After hearing what Guo Hong said, Guo Jingyi's mother said, "Okay, let her go out and play more often in the future, but she can't let it interfere with her homework."
Su Ruoxi smiled and said, "It won't delay us, because our family may take Ruoruo back to her grandparents' home after the business here stabilizes."
Guo Hong was shocked when she heard this: "Ah? Your family is leaving?"
Su Ruoxi looked at Guo Hong and asked, "Teacher Guo, are you going to teach them three in advance?"
Guo Hong shook her head: "No, I have another class to teach. I really can't take care of the three of them right now. If I ask them to join the class, they won't be able to keep up. So it's better to wait until next year."
After a pause, Guo Hong continued, "I just feel that if your family leaves, our Jingyi might get bored at home again."
Su Ruoxi smiled and said, "Actually Jingyi is a very cheerful girl. I think you may be too sensitive. You should trust Jingyi. She has her own ideas. You should respect them. After all, Jingyi is already a big child. She is not like our children who only know how to play."
Guo Jingyi's mother immediately said, "She? She's a big kid? She's just too honest and willful."
Guo Hong laughed immediately: "Look, in the eyes of mothers, daughters always have many problems. Let's let Dad talk about it."
Guo Jingyi's father heard this and said, "Ah? I think my daughter is very good. She has her own ideas. Her mother and I respect her."
After hearing what the girl’s father said, Su Ruoxi and Guo Hong burst into laughter.
Su Ruoxi continued, "As expected, dads always side with their daughters. Ruoruo's dad also dotes on Ruoruo. He really wants to dote on her to the heavens."
After saying this, the two mothers suddenly had a common topic.
"That's right. Jingyi's current personality is the result of her father's pampering. If she doesn't want to go out, he won't let her go out. If she likes reading, he will buy her all kinds of books to read, regardless of whether she can understand them or not."
"Ruoruo's father is the same. He tries his best to satisfy his daughter's preferences."
Guo Hong heard the conversation between the two mothers and couldn't help but laugh and said, "Sure enough, the daughter's father is a good father. At this time, the mother becomes the villain."
This statement was deeply recognized by the mothers.
Guo Jingyi's father said helplessly: "You guys are really, come on, come on, eat first, or it will get cold."
In fact, Guo Jingyi's parents didn't eat much at night because they couldn't see their daughter coming home. Now, when they smelled the chicken wonton soup in the bowl, they really felt hungry instantly.
The couple sat down to eat, and followed their daughter's method to soak the sesame seed cake first.
After taking a bite, Guo Jingyi's parents' eyes widened, thinking that the wonton soup with sesame seed cake was so delicious.
Guo Hong saw the look on her brother and sister-in-law's faces, smiled and said, "How was it? Were you impressed? Did you feel the different taste? Now you know why Su Ji is so popular, right? I really don't understand why you, brother and sister-in-law, have never eaten at Su Ji even though you live so close to it."
After hearing what Guo Hong said, the brother said, "Your sister-in-law and I are very busy at work and don't have time to eat."
My sister-in-law also said, "Yes, I have to cook for Jingyi after work, so I asked Jingyi to come here to eat wontons recently, which saves us from cooking at night."
Guo Hong immediately said, "You can come over for lunch, the noodles here are also very delicious."
Su Ruoxi smiled and said, "Actually, if you need it, you can arrange for Jingyi to come over for lunch or dinner. We don't charge any money."
Guo Jingyi's father immediately said, "You can't not charge money."
Su Ruoxi continued, "It's just a child, how much can he eat?"
Guo Jingyi's mother also said: "No, no, even if Jingyi comes here alone to eat, she still has to be charged. It's really not okay not to charge her."
After the two families pushed back and forth for a while, Guo Hong said, "Okay, stop pushing it back and forth. It's not impossible not to charge money. How much can a little girl like Jingyi eat at noon and at night? I can give the children a discount on their dance tuition, and that will make up for it."
Su Ruoxi said at this time: "That won't work, Teacher Guo, you can't give our child a discount."
Guo Hong laughed: "Look, you won't let me give you a discount, and you won't charge my niece for the meal, how can that work?"
Guo Jingyi's father finally said: "Let's do this. We should be more clear-headed. We should collect the money that should be collected. We all need to make a living."
Guo Hong agreed and said, "That's right. My elder brother is right. We all want to make a living, so we all have to charge money."
Su Ruoxi could only relent: "Okay, then Jingyi can come over to eat anytime, our house is guaranteed to be clean and hygienic."
Guo Jingyi's parents naturally expressed their trust and then started eating.
Four girls, one big and three small, had a lot of fun that night. When they were closing up and leaving, the four girls were reluctant to leave and made an appointment to continue playing together tomorrow.
After parting with Guo Jingyi's family, Feng Ruoruo and Yang Xiaoxi said goodbye to their parents and grandfather respectively.
The three little girls agreed to stay at Chen Yaofei's house tonight.
When saying goodbye, Su Ruoxi told her daughter: "Ruoruo, when you go to Feifei's house, you must listen to your grandparents. You can run around and play as you please, and don't play with Xixi and Feifei all night."
Yang Zhiyi also told his daughter: "Remember to sleep well at night and don't cause trouble for grandpa and grandma."
Chen Shoulin and Li Xiuchun carried the two girls' belongings. Chen Shoulin smiled and said, "Don't worry, the three children are all good kids and won't cause any trouble."
After hearing what Grandpa Chen said, the three little girls said in unison: "Yes."
Su Jinrong also smiled and said to the children: "Sleep well at night and don't play too late."
The three little girls nodded in agreement, and then, accompanied by Chen Yaofei's grandparents, the girls walked hand in hand towards Chen Yaofei's home.
