Grandma Zheng was busy with the funeral arrangements during those days.

Zheng Wendong keeps in touch with his wife and two daughters at home by phone on a daily basis.

Su Ying also knew that the other granddaughters-in-law of the Zheng family were present.

Only I didn't go.

But even if it happened again, she would not want to participate in such social activities.

Even for Zheng Wendong she was unwilling to attend.

Let alone the Zheng family...

I haven't had much contact with the Dong family in recent years.

Although the Zheng family is the home of Zheng Wendong's biological father, since Su Ying came into the family, they have hardly any contact in daily life. It is considered a lot if they contact each other once every few years. There is no affection between them. Apart from chatting with Zheng Wendong's cousin Zheng Ruan, she has no topics to talk about with other people. With this kind of relationship, even if you go in the past, you can only deal with the social etiquette of some aunts and uncles.

Or for the sake of a man's face, he would go there to help the elders with funeral matters.

Su Ying didn't want to embarrass herself.

Fortunately, Zheng Wendong also respected her opinion. Unlike other chauvinistic men, he did not insist on Su Ying accompanying him just to go through the motions in order to save face in front of elders and relatives.

Zheng Wendong did not dare to disrespect his daughter-in-law's opinion.

He is at the bottom of the food chain at home.

Supervisor Dabao was watching closely from the side. The older the little girl got, the more ideas she had, sometimes making Rang and Su Ying feel choked.

Su Ying is not going...

The elders of the Zheng family suggested that the children come to see them off.

There is indeed such a custom in my hometown. All descendants gather together to see the elderly off for the last time, and they pay attention to the appearance.

Zheng Wendong and Su Ying did not directly choose to help Dabao make the decision. Instead, Zheng Wendong called Dabao directly to ask if he wanted to come and deliver the baby.

Dabao hesitated for a moment and asked, "Dad, do you want me to come?"

Zheng Wendong said, "Dad's wish is not important. What matters is whether you want it or not."

Dabao understood and answered without much thought, "Dad, I don't want to go."

Zheng Wendong: "Okay."

The father and daughter changed the subject and talked about schoolwork.

And here in my hometown...

Zheng Wendong also told the elders in his family that his daughter was busy with her studies and did not allow them to come.

When he said this, it was obvious that the other elders in the Zheng family had objections.

Except for the very young ones, almost all the other younger generations in the family are present.

Why can’t Dabao and Paopao come?

It’s bad enough that Su Ying can’t come, but now the child isn’t coming either.

But Zheng Wendong doesn't care. He won't let his wife and daughter suffer for the sake of saving face in front of relatives. It's just a formality for everyone. If you say something in front of me, I will scold you back.

Uncle Zheng couldn't help but say, "Wendong, the dead are the greatest, otherwise..."

Otherwise, I haven’t finished talking yet.

Suddenly, there was a sound of a child crying.

It was Uncle Zheng's grandson who was crying. No matter how he was comforted, his face turned red and warm. Aunt Zheng tried to comfort him but it was useless. She was getting anxious, "Is he scared..."

Zheng San's eldest daughter-in-law's face turned green when she heard this. She angrily said to her husband, "I told you not to bring the child here because he's too young. But your parents insisted. What can we give as a gift for such a young child?!"

I'm already here.

She just thought it was a local custom and put up with it.

But when she saw that Zheng Wendong's wife and children, who were also grandchildren, had not arrived yet, she became furious when she saw that the other woman loved her children much more than her husband did and knew to let her children stay away.

The other grandchildren's wives couldn't help but complain, "The children were studying, but they had to take leave to come..."

"Face is more important than anything else."

Zheng Wendong returned to Pengcheng after finishing the work. He felt much better after taking a bath after being tired for several days.

Xiaoying happened to come looking for a tutor and caught him red-handed.

"Has Uncle Zheng been on a business trip recently?"

"My great-grandmother passed away, and my father went to see her off for the last time." Dabao said

Xiaoying blinked and said, "Sorry, I don't know..."

Dabao was indifferent, "It's okay."

Paopao was lying next to him, doing his homework and playing lazy.

Seeing that the two sisters didn't look very sad, Xiaoying couldn't help but ask curiously, "Aunt Xiao Su has been at home recently. Doesn't she need to go and see your great-grandmother off?"

Dabao twirled the pen in his hand and said, "My mother doesn't want to go."

Xiaoying was stunned. "So Uncle Zheng has no objection?"

Dabao looked at her in confusion.

Aunt Xu Qing’s hometown is in the same place as Dabao’s hometown.

When it comes to customs, face is more important than anything else.

Xiaoying's elders passed away, and her father had to take them to attend...

Dabao doesn't quite understand why this is necessary. "We don't have to have this kind of thing in our family. It depends on whether my mom is willing or not. My dad won't force her." He won't get angry with his mom for this either.

From small to large.

What Dabao saw was his parents discussing things together.

After she entered elementary school, her classmates always said that their parents quarreled about this and that, and most of them were related to their grandparents.

But this phenomenon does not exist in the Zheng family.

Xiaoying was envious and couldn't help but say, "But Uncle Zheng will be criticized by the elders in the family..."

Dabao said, "My father will take care of it."

This is something Dad needs to deal with.

It is not something that Dabao needs to worry about. If it is necessary social etiquette, her parents will remind her. If they don’t remind her, it means it is not necessary.

evening……

Paopao is going to learn Taekwondo.

She lay on the ground and didn't want her father to send her off, she wanted her sister to send her off.

Dabao took her to the car and went to learn Taekwondo.

Mr. Zheng and Su Ying respect their children when it comes to interest classes, allowing them to choose what they like.

There is only one exception.

That is Taekwondo that you must learn.

When Paopao was three years old, he saw his sister learning intermittently and was also sent to learn.

Although he looks lazy in his martial arts clothes, he is very energetic when fighting.

Every time I win a game, I’ll be motivated to continue as long as I’m sure my sister is watching.

Xiao Taotao is also learning Taekwondo, but not in this martial arts gym.

Come and see Dabao after class.

Talking about my great-grandmother...

Xiao Taotao asked in surprise, "Your great-grandmother and you don't have much in common, right? Why would Uncle Zheng and Aunt Xiao Su ask you to send them off?"

In Xiao Taotao's impression.

Among Dabao's relatives, only Sister Dong Li and Aunt Xiao Su have more interactions with them, while others have less interactions with them. You can often hear some gossip about them.

Dabao said, "My mother said that when I was born, my great-grandmother came to give me a red envelope..."

Pomegranate flowers, spring grass, and red envelopes with blessings.

The old lady came to see him off without telling the other members of the Zheng family.

My father asked me to go mainly because of this sentiment, so he only mentioned Dabao and Paopao was just a passing mention.

If it weren't for that phone call, the elders of the Zheng family would have said bad things about my sister.

Dabao is willing to go.

But because of that phone call...

Dabao's impression of the Zheng family, which was already limited, was completely diminished. She didn't like elders who were rigid and pretentious.

So I just don’t want to go.

Fortunately, Dad has always respected their ideas.

When Dabao gave a speech at school, the title he chose was, My Most Beloved Mom and Dad.
