Aunt Gao gracefully accepted the tea offered by Gu Zi, her eyes revealing satisfaction as she observed the clear broth within the cup. She took a delicate sip before speaking, “My grandson, Xiao Ming, had wanted to play with your child earlier. I was afraid he might disturb you, so I called him away.”

Su Li nodded in agreement, excitement bubbling in his voice as he added, “Yes, that day when I came to get my sister, I saw Xiao Ming outside the door. My sister saw him too. I wanted to greet Xiao Ming, but I didn’t dare.”

Upon hearing this, Gao Ming curiously scanned his surroundings before asking, “Auntie, where is your fierce little sister?”

Gu Zi was slightly taken aback. Fierce little sister? How was her little Lele fierce?

However, she chose not to dwell on the child’s words. “My husband took our daughter out to play. I’ll introduce you next time,” she replied.

The elderly woman, realizing her grandson’s rudeness, reprimanded Gao Ming, “How can you speak about a little girl like that? If you continue this way, you won’t be able to find a wife. Gu Zi, please don’t take my grandson’s words to heart.”

Gu Zi chuckled, her gaze landing on Su Bing as he emerged. “It’s nothing. Speaking of which, I have an eldest son. Look, he’s just come out. Su Bing, come meet our new neighbors, Grandma Gao and little brother Gao Ming.”

Seeing his elder brother emerge, Su Li eagerly ran over to him. Although Su Bing found his brother’s enthusiasm slightly foolish, he didn’t refuse to be led to the sofa. He recognized the grandmother-grandson duo instantly; they were the ones he had seen outside their door the previous night. He hadn’t expected them to visit so soon.

Gu Zi watched as Su Bing approached, patting his shoulder gently. “This is my eldest son, Su Bing.”

As Gu Zi’s words fell, Su Bing, not wanting to embarrass his mother, greeted the guests politely, “Hello Grandma Gao, hello little brother Xiao Ming, I’m Su Bing.”

The elderly woman smiled at Su Bing, her gaze shifting between him and the chatty Su Li. She was slightly taken aback. Were these two really brothers?

The younger one was lively and talkative, while the elder was silent and steady. Their personalities were completely different.

She could tell that Su Li genuinely wanted to befriend her grandson, while Su Bing was merely following his mother’s instructions. He didn’t seem to have any desire to make friends, which was rather intriguing.

However, she didn’t mind. After all, everyone was different. She couldn’t expect them to be alike just because they were brothers. Turning to Gu Zi, she commented, “Your two children have quite different personalities. But that’s good. With such differences, they’re less likely to have conflicts.”

Su Bing, listening to their conversation, didn’t say anything more. He planned to go to the kitchen to help his mother fetch some snacks, completely oblivious to Gao Ming’s admiring gaze.

As he turned to leave, Gao Ming darted in front of him, blocking his path. “Can I call you big brother too? I think you’re really cool! My grandma says that people who speak less are usually very powerful.”

Su Bing rubbed his forehead, slightly exasperated. No wonder he and Su Li got along so well; they both seemed equally naive. “You can call me whatever you like. I need to fetch something. You should go back and play.”

After Su Bing left for the kitchen, Gao Ming, captivated by his aloof demeanor, eagerly followed, launching into chatterbox mode.

“I want to follow you, big brother. So, I’m your third brother now, right? I’ll help you. Second brother, are you coming too?”

Upon hearing his new friend call him, Su Li couldn’t help but feel excited. Pointing at himself, he replied, “Are you calling me second brother? Alright, second brother is coming. I’ve been promoted!”

Gu Zi watched the scene unfold with a hint of embarrassment. Her second son was truly adept at creating awkward situations. She poured another cup of tea for the elderly woman, attempting to change the subject. “Auntie Gao, I noticed that Xiao Ming and our second son are about the same age. They’re both in the first grade, right?”

The elderly woman, brought back from the children’s antics, responded, “Yes, Xiao Ming goes to school nearby. You’ve just moved here, have you found a school for your children yet? If you need, I can help you with some recommendations.”

Gu Zi nodded, replying, “Thank you, Auntie Gao. But we’ve already found a school. We completed the transfer this morning. It’s also nearby.”

The elderly woman’s eyes lit up. Nearby? Besides the First Bilingual Primary School, were there any other schools in the vicinity?

She turned to Gu Zi, “Are you saying that our kids might be attending the same school?”
