The next morning, Lu Sining woke up early. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Grandpa Yu who also got up early.
"Morning, old man."
"Good morning." Grandpa Yu looked into the inner room and asked, "Are you still awake?" He was naturally asking about studying.
"Yeah, I slept soundly."
"My brat is the same. They were both exhausted yesterday."
"Really?" After Wen Yan's fuss yesterday, Lu Sining really didn't have time to care about Wen Shu's situation yesterday.
"Do you want to have breakfast with the old man?" Grandpa Yu said as he walked out. Lu Sining immediately realized that he had something to say to him and hurried to follow him.
"I won't beat around the bush. I'll give you a few words of advice as an elder. I like Wen Shu very much, and I feel sorry for her." Grandpa Yu brought Lu Sining to a breakfast shop not far from the martial arts hall. After greeting the enthusiastic owner, he continued, "Wen Shu has a tenacious spirit and is a talented person, but she is too worried."
The old man's plain words made Lu Sining feel surprised and guilty. She really neglected reviewing her studies!
"This is all my fault as a mother," Lu Sining confessed. She had been immersed in her own world these years and had not fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother.
Grandpa Yu sighed when he saw this and said, "Although I can't interfere in your family affairs, Wen Shu at least called me 'Master'. It is reasonable for me to hope that she can live a good life and have a normal living environment."
"It was my fault."
"I didn't ask you to come here to admit your mistake. Do you know why Wen Shu insisted on learning martial arts from you?"
Lu Sining shook his head.
"Silly child, this is to better protect you!" Grandpa Yu said while shaking his head, his tone full of heartache.
"How come?"
"Of course not!"
Lu Sining was stunned! But then she thought about it and realized that she had changed from a soft-hearted girl to the cold-hearted one she is now. Thinking of this, she felt heartbroken.
She took a deep breath and said, "Now that things have come to this, I'm not afraid to tell you. Ever since Xiaoshu's father got into trouble, I seemed to have lost my backbone and became weaker and weaker. Every time her father got drunk, she protected me. I have always endured it with a clear conscience, but I never thought about how sad she would be facing her ugly father and incompetent mother... Xiaoshu has changed a lot during this period of time, and I am actually very happy. Yesterday, her father's ruthless treatment of her suddenly gave me a strong desire. I wanted to protect her in my turn, to let her not bear the burden that she shouldn't bear , and live happily." Lu Sining recalled the past and felt that she owed Wen Shu too much, and regret surged like a torrent.
"I'm glad you figured it out. What are you going to do next? I saw that both of you were injured yesterday."
Lu Sining was choked up and looked embarrassed. He had just been thinking about reviewing his lessons well, but now he was stumped again.
Grandpa Yu sighed almost inaudibly and said, "Since you're all here, let's stay at the martial arts hall first."
"Will this be too much trouble?"
"If you find it troublesome, you can move back."
The tense atmosphere of last night flashed before Lu Sining's eyes . Seeing Grandpa Yu's look of "disappointment", he nodded and agreed.
"Okay, let's try the wonton noodles here. They taste really good. I'll pack some for the two little ones to take back later. They love it!"
Wen Shu almost didn't sleep the whole night yesterday, and only closed his eyes slightly when the east was getting light.
When she opened her eyes, she didn't see Lu Sining, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She rubbed her still heavy head, feeling a little confused. It took her a long time to realize that this was a martial arts gym and not the small house she and Lu Sining rented.
Just as I thought of this, Lu Sining and Grandpa Yu came in from outside. The mother and daughter's eyes met unexpectedly, and they were a little embarrassed. Grandpa Yu smiled secretly and said, "Wen Shu, your mother and I have agreed that you will live in the martial arts hall from now on."
Wen Shu looked at Lu Sining in confusion, and the latter chuckled and nodded.
Lu Sining walked to the dining table, put down the wonton noodles in his hand, and said to Wen Shu, "Go, wake up Qianlin. The noodles will become clumpy if they are left out for too long."
"Qianlin? I'll go call him?" Wen Shu suddenly felt that her brain was not enough. When did her mother become so familiar?
"Is there a problem?" Lu Sining didn't realize there was any problem.
Wen Shu waved his hand and left with a lot of questions in his mind.
Why did she feel that after one night, the look in Lu Sining's eyes was completely different? Bright and clear, like a new fire.
As he was thinking, Wen Shu had already walked to the door of Yu Qianlin's room.
She suddenly came to her senses, reached out and knocked on the door, but there was no response.
I kept knocking, but still no response.
Is this person a pig?
Wen Shu looked at the sun outside the window and was sure it was getting late. She took a deep breath, raised her hand and slapped the door several times: "Yu Qianlin, get up!"
"Ah!" Yu Qianlin's dissatisfied roar finally came from inside, "Stop making noise!"
Yu Qianlin was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly disturbed by someone, and he immediately became angry.
"Yu Qianlin!" Wen Shu also got angry. Who likes to be yelled at so early in the morning?
You are in a bad mood when you wake up, and I am in a bad mood when I knock on the door!
Yu Qianlin was suddenly awakened by Wen Shu's icy voice. He became uneasy when he thought that Wen Shu would immediately see his sleepy and sloppy appearance.
He yelled back: "What for!" but he was obviously not confident enough.
"I told you to get up and have breakfast." Wen Shu was impatient. But when he thought about what happened yesterday, he lowered his voice and said, "The chef packed Xu Ji's wonton noodles and told you to go and eat them quickly."
"Okay, okay, I got it." Yu Qianlin licked his lips. This was his favorite. He reached out and quickly rubbed the chicken coop on his head twice, wiped the corners of his eyes, stood up and opened the door in two steps, and said to Wen Shu, "You, you go first, I'll be right there!"
Yu Qianlin suddenly opened the door, and Wen Shu almost slapped him. She pulled her hand back and said, "Then hurry up."
"Okay, okay, I get it!" Yu Qianlin said unhappily and pulled his hair twice.
Wen Shu seemed not to notice his little action and pointed at the corner of his mouth: "Remember to wipe your saliva."
Yu Qianlin was shocked and almost immediately slammed the door shut. He leaned against the door, feeling extremely embarrassed, but still stiffened his neck and said, "Go away, I don't want to see you for the time being!"
"That only requires me to be happy to see you." After Wen Shu found out that he knew Yu Qianlin, he became vindictive.
Wen Shu completed the task and did not stay any longer. He was too lazy to pay attention to Yu Qianlin's inexplicable temper and turned away.
After confirming that Wen Shu had left, Yu Qianlin breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the corners of his mouth with his hand, and looked at himself with disgust. Then he quickly washed up and rushed to the fragrant wonton noodles.
At the dinner table, Grandpa Yu said to Yu Qianlin, "After you finish eating, remember to process the video you took and send it to the WeChat group."
"Hmm." Yu Qianlin uttered a single syllable unclearly.
"How about? Xiaoshu can go and help too?" After really focusing on Wen Shu, Lu Sining hoped that she could get in touch with more people and things instead of being alone all day.
"Puff, crunch, crunch..." Yu Qianlin was eating happily when he was suddenly frightened by Lu Sining's words and choked and coughed continuously.
God knows how many close-ups of him reviewing his lessons he recorded in the video that day!
"No... no need, I'm fine alone." He finally recovered and quickly refused.
Wen Shu frowned.
Could this person's disdain be any more obvious?
Lu Sining didn't expect Yu Qianlin to be so excited, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, not knowing what to say. Seeing that the good atmosphere was ruined by himself, Yu Qianlin hurriedly thought of a way to remedy it. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and said, "Review your lessons and do something else."
"Anything else?" Grandpa Yu spoke at the right time to give his grandson a way out.
"Yes! Wen Shu, go and help write the copy. It should make the event of our martial arts school seem very impressive. It should be eye-catching."
"This is really good." Grandpa Yu thought about it and thought it was good, so he said to Wen Shu, "Wen Shu, I'm counting on you."
"Okay." Wen Shu was in a dilemma. She had never written such a copy. She glanced at the culprit, Yu Qianlin, who shrank his neck and buried his head in eating wontons.
A few hours later, they both completed their tasks. Yu Qianlin put together the copy that he had worked so hard to write and showed her the trial version.
When Wen Shu was watching, Yu Qianlin had an expression that said "Worship me now", forcing Wen Shu to divert his attention to him.
"Very good." She praised sincerely.
"That's it!" Yu Qianlin was so happy when he heard it that he almost danced with joy, and the aura of a naughty child was overwhelming.
Wen Shu smiled secretly, generously not discouraging his inflated self-confidence.
Grandpa Yu happened to come over at this time and asked: "How's it going?"
"Grandpa, it's all done." Yu Qianlin held the computer and brought it to his grandfather , "Take a look."
But Grandpa Yu just took a look and then moved his eyes to Wen Shu and said, "Thank you for your hard work." He completely ignored Yu Qianlin who was complaining for him.
"It's not hard." Wen Shu couldn't help laughing.
Wen Shu watched the interaction between the grandparents and grandchildren with envy in his eyes, and then he felt relieved.
She looked at Lu Sining who was smiling with satisfaction not far away and thought: Her life is getting better, isn't it?
