Huo Meijun was peeking at the screen.
When she heard her grandson mention her, she couldn’t help but smile.
She didn’t expect Tutu to have such a good memory. She had taught him how to make that half a year ago, and he still remembered!
“Your grandma is amazing. I know how to play, but I don’t know how to make these,” said Lin Wan.
“Yeah. Grandma can also make little umbrellas, flowers, and even small boats… The boats she folds can even float on water.” Tutu praised Huo Meijun incessantly.
“Tutu, how can I have a grandma like that?” Li Zekai suddenly asked.
Li Yanchen was taken aback.
If his mother were still alive, she would probably be like that too. His mother had always been very gentle. Even when he and his brother did something naughty, she would always advise them in a soft voice to not do it again. It’s just that both their parents had passed away very early. “Jiejie, my grandma is your grandma too. Don’t you also call her grandma?” “But you live with your grandma. Can you let her live with me?”
Huo Meijun wanted to call them and say, “Just come to my house. I can handle two grandsons easily.”
The Li family was becoming more and more likable.
Lin Wan was surprised. Her stepson wanted to share a grandma. She didn’t know why children were so silly.
Tutu said, “You can come to my house. We have seven rooms in my house, and only my granupa, granuma, anu uau live cnere. unere are cnree empty rooms:
Her grandson was becoming smarter day by day. He said everything he wanted to say, but he missed one thing. Most of the time, Su Ming Sheng wasn’t at home, and Su Wei was often on business trips. To be precise, most of the time, only she, Tutu, and the nanny were at home.
Although Huo Meijun didn’t mind much, she still felt that a house needed some noise. The Li family had five people. That was just the right number for the family.
“I’ll be living at school, so it won’t work.”
[I remember that Huo Meijun really likes Lin Wan. The simplest solution is for Mr. Li to buy another house and be neighbors with Tutu.]
[Children have short attention spans. It might not work well if they actually live together.]
“Jiejie, you already have a grandma. How about asking her to spend the New
Year with us?” Lin Wan asked. She had only informed them about inviting Mama Bao to Royal Water Bay but hadn’t asked the children’s opinions. She did that now.
Although the three Li brothers hadn’t seen Mama Bao for a while now, they adored her.
“Oh, right. I have Grandma Bao and Grandma Huang! They are both good to me,” Li Zekai said.
“Let’s continue playing.” With the issue of grandma resolved, the children happily resumed their game.
Li Yanchen missed his mom. Mama Bao and Auntie Huang were good, but they weren’t his biological mother.
If his own mother were still alive, would she approve of him following in his brother’s footsteps?
Lin Wan held his hand in comfort. “They must be doing well in another time and place.”
“I’ll play with you guys.” Li Yanchen joined the children.
[If Tutu’s grandma still needs grandsons, I’m willing.]
[Aren’t you supposed to ask if she needs daughters-in-law? Hey, we’re both grandmas, but why are we such scammers?]
[Every family has some mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts. But most grandmas are good to their grandsons. I just don’t understand why they can’t be good to their grandsons’ moms as well?]
[This topic is depressing. I’m afraid it will be full of negative energy if we complain about it.]
[I’m fortunate. My mother-in-law is even better than my own mother. After getting married, I rarely stay at my parents’ house. My mother-in-law takes care of the laundry, cooking, and the children. She’s very kind.]
Lin Wan didn’t understand why the topic had suddenly shifted to mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts. She had no say in this matter. Li Yanchen had no parents, so he was the kind of partner that was a mythical being in the original novel.
[I’m envious of Sister Wan for not having to deal with mother-in-law conflicts.]
[That’s not a good thing to say. Mr. Li is still here.]
[Yes, don’t say it like that. It sounds like you are glad Mr. Li doesn’t have a mother. With Lin Wan’s charms, I’m sure she would have made her mother-in-law like her too.]
[I also think so too.]
[Let’s change the topic. Sister Wan can’t join in on this one.] The Li family’s livestream room was quite lively.
In stark contrast, the Wheatley family’s livestream room was quiet.
Although Nannan had become indifferent to the show as it entered its fifth episode, she couldn’t help but sigh quietly when she saw the falling number of viewers and fewer comments day by day.
She wasn’t someone who could liven up the atmosphere, and the same went for
Michael. She always showed Ott her clothes, but the viewers were already tired of it. On such a cold day, Michael couldn’t even show off his muscles.
Wheatley knew how to play a few musical instruments, but she said her finger hurt from playing the guitar in the cold.
Nannan wanted to crawl back into bed, but she couldn’t. She had to make an appearance in the livestream for the appearance fee she was getting paid.
She decided not to look at the comments anymore and started playing games on her phone.
At Doudou’s house, Li Meng was wearing gloves and typing on her laptop in the yard.
Doudou was warming herself by the fire in the kitchen.
Pei Lingfeng was in charge of the livestream.
The viewers were politely asking him about random things, and he liked interacting with them.
At Feifei’s house, Tao Jingyuan had already prepared lunch and invited the other families to join in.
After lunch, everyone gathered on the playground.
When they saw the red carpet, they realized that it was only enough for twenty people to stand on.
The director stood on the carpet and began announcing the task.
When they heard “Kaleidoscope,” everyone was confused at first. After a while, they discussed it excitedly.
It wasn’t until the assistant director explained the rules of the task that they understood.
In the game “Kaleidoscope,” one petal of a daffodil formed the center, two petals of azalea formed the outer circle, and three petals of camellia formed the outermost circle.
The staff would beat the drum and recite a nursery rhyme. The nursery rhyme could stop at any time. When it stopped, and if the staff shouted “Camellia,” the guests had to form groups of three in circles. Those who failed to form a circle or got the numbers wrong would be eliminated.
There were a total of nineteen people, including adults and children.
Everyone first recited the tongue twister and then warmed up.
[This is fun… just huddling together. Can’t even cheat. Everyone will instinctively hold the nearest person close.]
[If they say, “azalea” and the men don’t hug their respective wives but hug another person’s wife, what happens to them?]
[Su Wei would be the big winner then. After all, he doesn’t have a wife to hug, but he can hug anyone he wants.]
[It’s just a game, and it’s only symbolic. They have thick clothes. There’s no need to think like that.]
[Let’s keep it clean. Many team-building activities in companies involve physical contact. This is nothing.]
[Exactly! Why do people think so negatively? Besides, the cameras are filming them.]
The game hadn’t even started, but the commenters were already at odds with each other.
The staff looked at the comments and realized that some viewers were making a big deal out of it. Nowadays, variety shows mixed men and women in competitions. It was just a simple game. There was no need for any implications of intimacy.
The director announced the start of the game, and everyone began forming circles, while the staff played the music..
