Fortunately, Nan Jianlong's call stopped the awkward atmosphere in the living room. Huanhuan and Yan Ziyou hurriedly ran to the restaurant, followed by Nan Li and Tian Yulan.
Everyone sat down around the round table, Nan Jianlong sat in the middle, and the two families sat on both sides. Only Cai Juying was left serving food.
"Here comes the soup."
"Li Li, I didn't add anything else to this soup except mushrooms and wolfberry. It took four or five hours to cook it. Try it quickly and see if it suits your appetite."
Although Cai Juying had good intentions, Nan Li didn't have a good impression of this woman who robbed her mother's husband and her father, so she just replied with a faint thank you.
However, Cai Juying was already very satisfied and said with a smile: "Family, why are you so polite? Lili, you look so good, rosy and white, you don't look like a mother who gave birth to two children."
Nan Li didn't know how to answer, but Tian Yulan felt very unhappy when she saw her mother's hot face and cold butt, and urged her mother to sit down and eat.
Nan Jianlong remembered that the gifts he bought had not been taken out yet, so he immediately asked Cai Juying to take out the gifts and distributed them to the three children one by one.
Huanhuan and Chaochao were both very happy when they received the gift. Only Yan Ziyou was happy at first, but after seeing the gift, she became a little discouraged because the toy was exactly the same as the one given by her grandfather Nan Jianlong last time.
Tian Yulan's face turned black with anger on the spot. Yan Peng knew his wife, and quickly signaled Tian Yulan to calm down under the table, but Tian Yulan pushed her away.
The more Tian Yulan thought about it, the angrier she became. Why would Nanli and the others do nothing but sit and wait for dinner every time they came back, while her mother would fawn over her in all kinds of ways?
If she could still tolerate this, then Nan Jianlong's different treatment of his son, Huanhuan and the others was intolerable to her.
Why were both called grandpa, Huanhuan and Chaochao both able to get the gifts they wanted, but her son was just perfunctory and gave the same gift twice. This clearly did not take her son seriously.
superior.
Tian Yulan is such a person. She can swallow her anger when she suffers a loss, but she never wants to see her son suffer a loss and be treated differently.
But she can be considered a small leader, able to keep her composure and did not overturn the table on the spot. However, she was unwilling to admit defeat and was dissatisfied, so she had already begun to calculate how to regain her position.
To beat a snake, you must find someone who is good at it.
Tian Yulan already had an idea in mind.
While everyone was eating, she suddenly sighed and said: "Our son You really needs to learn more from Huanhuan. This child is too introverted. I always let him develop hobbies and other things, but he
No, he just knows how to study. He got first place at the end of last semester, and he got first place in the class test every time after the start of this semester. The teachers all like him very much."
As soon as she spoke, the atmosphere at the table suddenly changed.
Nan Li didn't say anything and just watched Tian Yulan's performance. Yan Peng didn't know how to answer the question. In the end, Nan Jianlong praised Ziyou: "Ziyou, you are awesome."
When Yan Peng saw his father-in-law speaking, he quickly changed the subject, "Ziyou, keep up the good work. Let's not talk about this during dinner. Come, let's drink."
Being nudged by Yan Peng, Zhou Chen raised his glass and touched it with him, then glanced at Tian Yulan.
If he were an ordinary person, being interrupted like this, he would definitely not continue to brag, but he knew that Tian Yulan was not an ordinary person, and the excitement was yet to come.
Sure enough, Tian Yulan did not disappoint Zhou Chen. Before he even took a bite of the food, he spoke again.
"As for me, I am quite contented. Our Ziyou has no other merits. Children from other families have to be beaten and scolded when they study, but Ziyou never needs it and is very self-conscious."
Zhou Chen didn't mean to interrupt, he just watched Tian Yulan's performance quietly, filled with emotions. He really didn't know how their family had food in the past. If it were him, in such an atmosphere
, how can I still be in the mood to eat?
As he said this, Tian Yulan seemed to have remembered something.
"By the way, a parent in his class told me some time ago that our family's child, You, is the legendary child of another family. He also asked me how I raised him, how I taught him, and asked me to teach him my experience.
, I don’t have any experience, I rely on my children to make progress on my own, I’m just a support person.”
After looking around, he found that no one answered, but seeing Nan Li's depressed expression, Tian Yulan felt quite happy, so she stopped praising her son and turned to Huan Huan.
"By the way, Huanhuan, are you ready for the new semester? How did you do in the last test?"
Seeing Tian Yulan refusing to open or pick up any of the pots, Yan Peng covered his face and really didn't know how to face it.
Huanhuan, who was eating, was also a little confused and replied blankly: "The test results haven't come out yet."
Tian Yulan asked: "What about the last classroom test? How many points did you get?"
Huanhuan was speechless because she had only scored over 70 points in the exam and was really embarrassed to say it.
Zhou Chen, who was sitting and watching the show, felt very unhappy when he saw Huanhuan's miserable appearance. Although he had not been here long, Huanhuan was his daughter now. He could not be dissatisfied with Huanhuan's results, but
Others do not have this qualification.
Adult matters can be solved by adults, but involving children is a bit despicable.
Especially when he saw Huanhuan looking at him for help, Zhou Chen felt even more unhappy.
"Huanhuan, what are you doing standing still? Come on, eat a chicken leg."
Zhou Chen used chopsticks to chop off a chicken drumstick for Huanhuan, and said with a smile: "Remember dad's words, if you get fat first, you won't be fat, and if you get fat later, it will collapse the kang."
Huanhuan didn't understand and asked: "Dad, what does this sentence mean?"
"What I mean is that it doesn't matter if you study now, but you will definitely get better in the future. Our family Huanhuan is so smart, singing, dancing, and painting, and is proficient in everything. Isn't it just studying? As long as you think about it, getting good grades in the exam is not easy.
It’s a loose thing, right, Huanhuan.”
Huanhuan suddenly showed a happy smile: "Yeah, yeah."
Nan Li, who was originally unhappy, also smiled. She almost couldn't help but speak just now.
Tian Yulan's face looked a little ugly. Although Zhou Chen seemed to be talking to Huanhuan, she always felt that he was mocking her.
So she rolled her eyes, faced Zhou Chen and said with a smile: "You guys, you are too optimistic. The foundation of today's children is very important. If they fall behind for a while, they are likely to fall behind forever. As for children, we must start from an early age. I will tell you
explain……"
"Hey, hey, I came to grandpa's house today just to play. Why are you talking about this?"
Seeing the smell of gunpowder rising, Nan Jianlong couldn't sit still and stood up immediately. Then without waiting for others to speak, he said to Huanhuan: "Huanhuan, the song you sang on the stage today is so nice.
But Ziyou didn’t hear it, why don’t you sing it again here?”
As soon as she heard the singing, Huanhuan immediately became excited and said happily: "Okay, okay, but if there is no accompaniment, the singing may not sound good."
Nan Li immediately raised her hand: "Huanhuan, mommy will accompany you."
Ever since, the mother and daughter, one singing and the other accompanying, started performing.
