Spring River Chasing the Moon

Chen Lili is not at home today. The school teachers are on vacation, so they organized a party. Chen Lili originally wanted to bring Luo Youyou along, but Luo Youyou refused.

Luo Youyou has been waiting for Xu Zhiye to come and see her recently. She hasn't been out for a long time in several days and she is afraid of missing Xu Zhiye.

After helping Chen Ze and Li Muzhi to decorate the guest rooms, Luo Youyou went downstairs and came to his own yard.

Looking outside, I was waiting to see if Xu Zhiye would appear in the next second.

But time passed minute by minute, and apart from a few neighbors passing by the door, there was no sign of Xu Zhiye.

Luo Youyou was very depressed. Could it be that Xu Zhi had forgotten the agreement he had made with her?

"Yes? Why are you sitting here?"

Chen Ze looked around the room and found Luo Youyou sitting at the door, staring blankly outside, not knowing what he was thinking.

In recent days, Chen Ze, Li Muzhi and Chen Lili have also discovered that Luo Youyou is always in a very good mood early in the morning, and then starts to feel a little unhappy in the afternoon. It becomes more obvious as the night goes on, and he says he is full after eating only a few bites of dinner.

Hearing the news that Xiaomei ate an extra bowl today, Chen Ze and Li Muzhi were very relieved. They thought that the child had recovered to her previous state, but looking at her expression now, it was obvious that she had not.

"Grandpa, are you looking for me?"

Luo Youyou looked up at Chen Ze, trying to make herself less depressed.

"Well, can Grandpa and Grandma take you to the neighborhood to meet Grandpa's friends?"

Chen Ze asked cautiously. Luo Youyou, who usually loved to be in a lively atmosphere, refused Chen Lili's request to take her to a dinner party for the first time today. They felt something was wrong.

Afraid that the child would get bored at home, Chen Ze and Li Muzhi decided to take her out for a walk.

It just so happened that Chen Ze’s good friend had just moved back, and they wanted to take her to see it.

Luo Youyou looked at the time and felt that Xu Zhiye would most likely not come today, so she agreed to Chen Ze.

"Okay, I'll put on my shoes then."

Luo Youyou did not refuse, which made Chen Ze feel relieved.

Li Muzhi also changed his clothes, walked out of the room, and took some tonics from the cabinet.

Led by Chen Ze, the three of them walked slowly in the community.

"Grandma, who are we going to see?"

Luo Youyou looked at the supplements in Li Muzhi's hands and had some guesses in her mind.

"Is the other party sick?"

Li Muzhi patted Luo Youyou's head and replied, "He's a good friend of your grandfather's from his youth. However, he went abroad due to health reasons and only returned recently after a successful surgery."

Luo Youyou suddenly realized, "So grandpa also went to see him a few days ago?"

Li Muzhi nodded and said, "When you see him later, just call him Grandpa Yan, and his wife Grandma."

Seeing Luo Youyou's somewhat dazed look, Li Muzhi pinched her little face and said.

"They are all very kind people, you don't have to be nervous."

Luo Youyou nodded obediently. She was not nervous, but she didn't have any particular interest. Without seeing Xu Zhiye, she seemed to have no interest in doing anything.

After walking for a few minutes and turning a corner, we arrived at the Yan family's house.

Only then did Luo Youyou discover that the Yan family also planted a lot of roses, which was a bit like her grandfather's yard. The difference was that in addition to the roses, there were more green plants in the Yan family's yard. It looked lively and made people feel refreshed and comfortable.

Chen pushed open the small door of the yard, walked to the door of the house and knocked gently.

It didn't take long before the door opened.

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman wearing an apron. Chen Ze had never seen her in the Yan family before and guessed that she might be the new aunt in the family.

"Who are you looking for?"

Aunt Yan also came recently and got to know only a few of the Yan family members. She is not familiar with the others.

"Hello, I'm Yan Lei's friend, my name is Chen Ze. I heard he was back here, so I came to see him."

When Aunt Yan heard Chen Ze say that they were Mr. Yan’s friends, she immediately invited them in.

"Come in, come in, sorry, I'm new here and not very familiar with the place."

"Boss Yan and his wife are in the room upstairs. I'll go talk to them."

Chen nodded and said politely to his aunt, "Thank you for your help."

The aunt waved her hand, indicating that this was what she should do.

She is a distant relative from Yan's hometown. Although they are called relatives, they are actually very distant relatives.

She had a miserable life. Her husband was an alcoholic and would beat her and the children when he was drunk. She had no choice but to seek help from the Yan family.

Unexpectedly, the Yan family heard about her and immediately went to the countryside to deal with everything.

They let her divorce the drunkard smoothly and sent him abroad. I heard that place was very chaotic and there were violent incidents almost every day. The Yan family wanted to prevent him from returning to China.

He also brought her and her child to South City, found a school for the child, and arranged a job for her to take care of Mr. Yan and his wife.

She may never be able to repay the Yan family for their kindness in this lifetime, so she can only try her best to take care of everyone in the family.

Chen Ze and the other three were the first guests she had entertained since she came to the Yan family, so she naturally had to do her best to provide them with a good reception.

Auntie went upstairs, knocked on the door, and waited for a response before gently pushing the door open.

"Boss Yan, Madam, there's a guest coming downstairs. He said his name is Chen Ze and he's a friend of Boss Yan."

Yan Lei was leaning against the head of the bed, while Ye Ran was helping him get medicine and pour water.

When he heard that Chen Ze had arrived, Yan Lei immediately sat up straight and wanted to get out of bed and go downstairs.

Ye Ran held his hand and reminded him to be careful.

"My body is fine now, no need to be so careful."

Although Yan Lei said this, he still obediently slowed down his movements.

Auntie looked at this scene and smiled secretly.

Director Yan usually looks very serious, but she didn't expect that he actually listens to his wife so much in private. It was only after she came here and got to know him that she discovered that both Director Yan and his wife are very nice and approachable people.

"Xiao Rong, go pour tea for the guests first, and then get some cakes."

Ye Ran was afraid that Chen Ze was waiting downstairs, so he asked his aunt to go and entertain him first.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Chen didn't come alone. I think he came with his wife and a girl about four or five years old."

Hearing this, Yan Lei's eyes lit up. When Chen Ze came to see him before, he had been talking about his granddaughter, who was cute and well-behaved. Judging from her age, the one who came today should be her. He quickened his pace, unable to wait to go and see her.

"Then I'll go down first."

Auntie went downstairs first, poured tea for Chen Ze and Li Muzhi, and poured a glass of juice for Luo Youyou.

"Director Yan and his wife will be down soon."

"Old Chen."

Yan Lei just walked down a step and shouted loudly.

Chen Ze looked up and saw that Yan Lei was in much better spirits than before, so he felt relieved.

"How are you feeling lately? How is your physical condition recovering?"

After Yan Lei and Ye Ran sat down in the living room, Chen Ze immediately asked.

"Everything is almost healed. Don't worry, we will meet many times in the future."

Yan Lei looked at Chen Ze. As old friends meeting each other, he felt much better.

"Let me introduce you. This is my wife, Li Muzhi. You must have met her once or twice before. This is my granddaughter, Luo Youyou, the child of my youngest daughter."

When Luo Youyou saw Chen Ze starting to introduce her, she stood up sensibly and greeted him obediently.

"Hello, Grandpa Yan, hello, Grandma, my name is Luo Youyou, and I'm five years old."

Looking at Luo Youyou's round little face and listening to her sweet voice, Yan Lei and Ye Ran both liked her very much.

Especially Ye Ran, she wanted a little granddaughter, but her two children only gave birth to a son.

When I saw Luo Youyou today, I couldn’t let her go.
