Me at two years old, a queen!

Lu Jing found the story quite interesting; he couldn't understand why kids these days liked ghost stories so much: "Don't film me! Come on, it's all a lie!"

"These ghost stories are indeed quite interesting to listen to, but hey An'an~, they're all made up, just gimmicks to attract you kids to spend money, they're all fake!"

"But if you like listening, Grandpa will go and see if they sell them later and buy you two. Grandpa will tell you stories tonight! I'm sure I can tell them better than Zhuangzhuang!"

"Really? I'm a little scared, but I really want to see! I also want to know what that old witch likes to eat, but Zhuangzhuang said he was asleep and didn't hear anything."

"When he gets home today, I'll have the nanny tell him the story again, and then he can come to kindergarten tomorrow to tell me and Duoduo~"

"..."

"Alright! You guys order first. Junmin has to work overtime for a while and will be a little late. I'll go out and meet Yanzhou and the others! Order a lot, and Zhao Jingtang and the others come too!"

"Okay! I'll have some!"

Lu Jing took the menu, then remembered that An'an's wild vegetables were still in the car: "Perfect timing, go to my car later and get An'an's bag of wild vegetables. Have the kitchen help process them, otherwise they'll wilt tomorrow!"

"Yes, Dad, I found so many wild vegetables today, and I even won first place!"

An'an excitedly tugged at the man's clothes, afraid he would leave the private room in the blink of an eye: "And their trophy! I want to show it to everyone!"

Lu Junxing had already learned of this news in the class group chat. He was initially shocked, but when he saw that he had won the award because he had dug up the most wild vegetables and found a relatively large variety, he was surprised.

He also felt that this first place seemed to be specially tailor-made for An'an and her friends, so it wasn't anything special.

However, to reward her for winning first place for the first time, he also asked Zhao Chenyu to prepare a gift for her, although she wouldn't receive it for a few days.

"Okay! I got it! I won't forget your wild vegetables and trophy. I'll bring them up in a bit! Let everyone see what wild vegetables are all about!"

Seeing that if they delayed any longer, it would be hard to know when they could eat, Lu Jing shoved the menu into An'an's hands: "Here! Today is your victory celebration, so let An'an order! Let everyone share in your joy!"

Before long, everyone arrived except for Qin Shuo, who was stuck in traffic and hadn't arrived yet to pick up Jun Min. Zhao Yu'an also tried going to school today to experience the social environment of his peers.

To encourage Zhao Yu'an, Lu Jing and the others each prepared a red envelope for him, and also gave one to An'an. The old man also gave Yu'an a Go set that he had bought at auction.

Ms. Song Yuan also gave him a string of sandalwood beads, and handed him a small gold lock inlaid with gemstones that Junmin had asked her to bring from home:

"This was designed by your Aunt Junmin herself. She asked me to bring it over, hoping that everything goes well for you and that you will be safe and sound!"

Zhao Yu'an gratefully accepted the gifts with both hands: "Thank you everyone~"

Seeing this, An'an hurriedly took a pearl from her hair clip and gave it to Yu'an. She then glanced at Lu Junxing sitting next to her and anxiously nudged him.

"Dad? Your turn! Where's your present?"

Lu Jing knew Lu Junxing had been busy lately and probably didn't know Zhao Yu'an was going to school, so he hadn't had time to prepare a gift. He was just about to make a sarcastic remark to him.

Then Ms. Song Yuan took a small box out of her bag and handed it to Lu Junxing: "Here, this is the jade pendant you asked me to prepare for Yu'an."

Lu Jing was about to say that he didn't know Lu Junxing knew about Yu'an's schooling when he suddenly realized that Song Yuan had probably prepared it specifically for Lu Junxing, and he began to reflect on himself.

It seems I've never worried about these things for my son, nor have I ever backed him up.

Lu Junxing opened it and glanced at it, discovering that the jade pendant was part of Madam Song Yuan's dowry. It seemed she genuinely liked Yu'an, so he handed it to Yu'an.

Zhao Jingtang was so moved that he drank several more glasses of wine, toasting the old man, then Lu Jing, and even Qin Shuo and Jun Min who arrived later.

Seeing Zhao Jingtang like this, Qin Shuo decided to go all out and drank cup after cup with Zhao Jingtang, eating the wild vegetables An'an had given him.

Finally, seeing that the small plate of wild vegetables was almost gone, An'an anxiously said to Qin Shuo, "Four-eyes! Let my dad try some of their wild vegetables too, he hasn't eaten any yet!"

"He ate it, he ate it as soon as you served the wild vegetables. I'm wearing glasses, so I could see it clearly! Your dad ate it first!"

"Dad~, really? Did you eat the wild vegetables that other people dug up?"

"Yes, your uncle is right. I tried some at the beginning, but I think I can eat a little more now!"

As he spoke, Lu Junxing turned the dish around and took the last piece of vegetable from it: "The wild vegetables that An'an dug up are delicious!"

Junmin: "An'an, you're amazing~ This is the first time I've ever eaten wild vegetables~"

Lu Jing: "Yeah~, if it weren't for An'an, we wouldn't be able to eat this good stuff. These days, you can only find these natural things in the countryside and mountains! Your kindergarten is great!"

The old man said, "Yes, it's been many years since I've eaten such a dish. Some of the wild vegetables in it have a slightly bitter taste, but they also have a sweet aftertaste. Back in the day, we used to eat wild vegetable buns every day!"

"I also want to go dig for wild vegetables. Let's go next time. Little sister, can you teach me and Yu'an how to find wild vegetables?"

"Great! You know what? There are so many different kinds of wild vegetables! We're going to..."

The children were discussing how to forage for wild vegetables, their conversation lively and engaging. Meanwhile, Lu Jing, who had been drinking tea with Zhao Jingtang for a couple of cups, noticed Lu Junxing taking several phone calls and said...

"Is it still not sorted out over there? You should go about your business later. I'll take care of An'an, just like yesterday. She always loves listening to me tell folk tales!"

"No need! I'm taking An'an with me on this business trip! The invitation An'an received last time was also for Bailian City. If she's not free, I'll have Qin Feng accompany her!"

"No, is it Xia Ning, the one who started a bed and breakfast business, the one who gave us that invitation last time? I said, she was just teasing the kids, or she had ulterior motives! She wanted to get to know us through the kids."

Lu Jing, who had been a loving father for less than two seconds, became agitated again upon hearing this: "You're letting the child go by himself! If you can't take care of him, then let me take care of him. You just focus on your work, we'll look after the child!"

An'an didn't understand what Lu Jing and Lu Junxing were talking about, but upon hearing about her invitation and seeing Lu Jing's excitement, she reassured him.

"No, Grandpa, don't be angry! A pretty auntie invited me over, and I'm going to give her a gift and have a meal!"

An'an sensed that her father was unhappy, so she reached out to the man. When he picked her up, An'an nestled in Lu Junxing's arms and said:

"Dad, are you two arguing?"
