They took Kou Kou to rinse his mouth out.

His habit of picking up and eating things from the ground was worrisome and needed constant supervision.

It was said that some children, even at three years old, might still pick up and eat anything they find, which could be dangerous if left unchecked.

When they got home, Gu Jingzhi and the others had long stopped discussing the earlier topic.

Koukou, who had just been “double-teamed” by his parents, felt very aggrieved when he saw his grandmother.

He nestled in her arms and complained that his parents were taking him for an injection.

“Why do you always scare the child?” Madam Gu scolded them after hearing Koukou’s complaint.

Gu Yanqing didn’t expect that Koukou, at such a young age, would be so good at twisting the truth.

Seeing his aggrieved look, he understood why so many people hit children.

He now also felt like grabbing Koukou and giving him a good thrashing.

Despite his young age, he had mastered the art of false accusations quite well.

“Mom, he picked up firecrackers to eat,” Gu Yanqing said.

Gu Jingzhi responded, “It’s normal for young children to pick up things to eat. He’ll stop doing it as he grows up. Isn’t that right, Koukou?”

With Gu Jingzhi and Madam Gu backing him up, Koukou felt quite confident and nodded, saying, “Yes, yes.”

Gu Yanqing and Qiao Wanqing: “……”

This is what you get with grandparental favoritism!

……

Qiao’s grandmother had invited so many neighbors over, and naturally, the food was very sumptuous.

While they were preparing, Qiao Wanqing went to the kitchen to check out the ingredients.

From things swimming in water, to running on the ground, and flying in the sky, there were at least thirty dishes…

When it was almost lunchtime, the second uncle received a call saying that the eldest uncle and the others had arrived.

He asked Qiao Wanqing and Gu Yanqing to go out and greet them.

Qiao Wanqing: “……”

Weren’t they stopped by Gu Jingzhi and not called?

How did they end up coming?

Since he was already here, they couldn’t send him back.

Qiao Wanqing had to go with Gu Yanqing to pick him up.

As they reached the door, a white SUV stopped in front.

Five people got out, including a short, chubby man who looked to be in his fifties, resembling her second uncle.

He was clearly her eldest uncle.

“Eldest Uncle,” Qiao Wanqing stepped forward and greeted him.

“You must be… Wanqing?” The eldest uncle, having not seen her grown-up before, didn’t quite recognize her.

“Yes, Eldest Uncle, this is my boyfriend, Gu Yanqing.”

“Hello, Eldest Uncle.” Gu Yanqing politely greeted him.

“Hello, hello,” the eldest uncle shook Gu Yanqing’s hand and appeared a bit teary-eyed as he said, “In the blink of an eye, my younger sister’s daughter has grown up and is getting married.”

The eldest uncle seemed to be reminded of Qiao Wanqing’s deceased mother.

Even though Qiao Wanqing didn’t have feelings for her mother, she couldn’t help but feel melancholic in this situation.

She comforted the eldest uncle a bit.

He patted her shoulder and introduced the people with him: his wife, his eldest son and his wife, and his younger daughter.

Gu Yanqing helped carry their things, and they all praised him for his good looks and said Qiao Wanqing had married well.

After the pleasantries, they all entered the house.

Qiao Wanqing’s heart raced as she saw the eldest uncle’s reaction upon seeing Gu Jingzhi sitting on the sofa.

The eldest uncle exclaimed, “Oh?”

Gu Jingzhi responded calmly, “Long time no see, Xin Mao.”

“You are…” The eldest uncle scratched his head, thought for a moment, and then seemed to realize, “Mr. Gu! So it’s you… Yanqing is your child.”

Gu Jingzhi smiled and nodded.

The eldest uncle was immediately excited: “What a coincidence! After you left, I thought I would never see you again.”

Huh? Qiao Wanqing and Gu Yanqing exchanged glances.

It seemed that her eldest uncle didn’t look like a thief.

If he were a thief, he wouldn’t be greeting them like an old friend.

He should have felt guilty instead.

The second uncle invited them to sit.

The originally spacious living room suddenly felt a bit cramped with so many people coming in.

Qiao Wanqing listened to their conversation and realized that her eldest uncle was not the vegetable thief but was responsible for delivering fish to them.

He even played a role in catching the vegetable thief.

Qiao Wanqing breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Even though it didn’t actually concern her if her eldest uncle had stolen the fish, it would have left a bad impression.

But what a miraculous coincidence that such a thing happened!

With some time left before lunch, Qiao Wanqing worried that they might be too busy, so she went to help out.

Gu Yanqing continued to keep an eye on Koukou to prevent him from picking up things to eat or running into dangerous places.

Qiao Wanqing’s cousin’s younger daughter, whose nickname is Xinxin, was a year older than Koukou and already three years old.

She seemed to really like Koukou and followed him around, insisting on playing with him.

Koukou also enjoyed playing with children of the same age and generously let her play with his toys.

He had many toys in City C, and there were also a lot of toys here.

Qiao Wanqing had set up a toy room for him to store all these things.

Koukou’s little spaceship, which he used to treasure greatly, was brought back the last time and had been played with for a while.

The space here was larger, so he could fly it around without worrying about breaking anything.

However, perhaps because he had played with it for a long time, Koukou wasn’t as fond of the spaceship anymore.

Now, the spaceship was just one of the many toys in his collection, standing out quite prominently.

Xinxin immediately noticed the spaceship and went over to play with it.

“What’s this?” Xinxin asked Koukou.

“Fly, spaceship,” Koukou said, “It can fly!”

Xinxin tilted her head and looked at the spaceship for a moment. “How does it fly?”

Koukou dug out the remote control from a pile of small toys, turned on the mechanism on the spaceship, and began to operate it.

Having played with it many times before, he was very familiar with the entire process and quickly got the spaceship flying around the room.

“Wow.” Xinxin was immediately amazed.

It was the first time she had seen a flying toy spaceship.

“Fly, fly,” Koukou said happily.

“Can I play with it for a while?” Xinxin asked Koukou.

Koukou was engrossed in playing and didn’t want to share.

Xinxin really wanted to play with it.

Being older and smarter than Koukou, she took advantage of his distraction and quickly grabbed the remote control.

Koukou, whose toy was taken, tried to get it back but, being shorter, he couldn’t reach it and almost fell in the process.

Gu Yanqing, who had been reading a document on his phone, suddenly heard his son crying.

He looked up to see Koukou running towards him, crying, and picked him up, asking, “What’s wrong, sweetheart?”

“The spaceship, Koukou’s spaceship.”

Seeing Xinxin controlling the spaceship and making it fly around chaotically, Gu Yanqing understood immediately and said, “Sister is playing with Koukou’s spaceship, right?”

“Mm.”

Koukou rubbed his eyes and nodded, feeling very aggrieved.

He had never had anything taken from him before; even Yuanyuan always let him have his way.

“It’s okay. Let’s let Sister play with it for a while. She hasn’t played with it before. Koukou needs to learn to share, understand?” Gu Yanqing instructed him.

Koukou didn’t listen and said, “Koukou, Koukou wants to play.”

“Let Sister play for a bit, and then you can have it back. Koukou is a good child. Only a not-so-good child doesn’t want to share their toys with others.”

Good child, like a measuring stick, Koukou thought of himself as the best child in the world.

According to Daddy, not letting others play with his toys was a sign of being not good.

Although he still felt very aggrieved and didn’t want to share with his sister, he reluctantly agreed.

At this moment, Xinxin, who didn’t know how to operate the spaceship, accidentally pressed the wrong button.

The spaceship suddenly shot towards a corner, crashed into the wall, fell to the ground, and made a “crunch” sound, becoming motionless.

Koukou, who had already been comforted, couldn’t hold back anymore and burst into tears.
