Wandering among the heavens, learning has no end.

Li Haichao felt that if they were really divorced, Ling Heping probably wouldn't be in the mood to cook now.

Even if they weren't divorced, he still doubted whether Ling Heping could cook.

The adults can go hungry if they want, but we shouldn't let the children go hungry, so I wanted to call them down for dinner.

"I go."

He Ziqiu immediately responded.

He was always the first to agree to any request Li Haichao gave him, because he wanted to make a good impression on his father, Li Haichao.

"Okay, you go."

Li Haichao smiled and patted He Ziqiu's head.

He Ziqiu smiled happily, then went out and went upstairs to call someone.

After He Ziqiu left, Li Haichao thought of something and looked at Ji Yuan and Li Jianjian: "Ji, Jianjian, how about I take you to Grandma's house for National Day?"

Grandma called today and said she misses you all and wants you to come visit for a few days.

"Sure, I miss my grandma too."

Li Jianjian immediately nodded in agreement.

Ji Yuan nodded as well.

Although he was Li Jianjian's maternal grandmother, he had visited her several times and knew her.

"By the way, where's the delivery guy? Isn't he going?"

Li Jianjian asked again.

During this time, she had accepted He Ziqiu's existence and now called him "Little Brother".

As for why he's called "Little Brother," it's because he's younger than Ling Xiao.

In fact, Ji Yuan is younger than both Ling Xiao and He Ziqiu, but she didn't include Ji Yuan in the count.

In her heart, Ji Yuan was a special person.

After hearing Li Jianjian's words, Li Haichao thought for a moment and said, "Ziqiu... Ziqiu won't go."

You're going to your grandma's house, and he's going back to his grandma's house too.

"Oh, okay."

Li Jianjian nodded.

Li Jianjian was unaware that Li Haichao meant that He Ziqiu was leaving their home.

After all, He Ziqiu came to their house last month, but he was only staying with them for a short period of time.

It's not that he actually became Li Haichao's son.

Recently, the two of them have been calling each other "father" and "son" so often that Li Haichao has almost forgotten that He Ziqiu is just a foster child.

He received a call from He Mei these past few days, saying that she would come to pick Ziqiu up during the National Day holiday.

Upon receiving this news, Li Haichao finally realized that He Ziqiu was not his son.

……

national day.

Li Haichao sent Ji Yuan and Li Jianjian to the countryside, to Li Jianjian's maternal grandmother's house.

Li Jianjian's maternal grandmother's family was not in bad condition.

Although Li Jianjian's maternal grandmother's home is in a village, it is not the kind of backward rural village that is full of mountains and forests, far from any other village or shop, where you might not see a house for hundreds or thousands of meters.

Instead, it resembles a small town, with most of the houses built around a T-junction, spreading out in three directions.

The village even has a primary school and a junior high school.

This village is relatively prosperous because it is the township center of its jurisdiction.

(I really don't know what the center of a township is called, the center of a county is called the county town, I'm not really sure about the center of a township.)

After searching for a long time, it seems that some places are called Central Village, maybe so. I was thinking of something like a Central Primary School.

However, the place where I used to attend primary school in the countryside was the center of the township. It was a village that belonged to Yunshan Township and was called Xitai Village.

Back then, I never heard of a village called "Central Village"; it was just called Xitai Village.

Li Jianjian's maternal grandmother's house is a two-story building on the edge of the village.

Because it's on the edge of the area, there's more land available, so Li Jianjian's maternal grandmother's house also has a front yard and a back yard.

This is a pretty good deal.

After Ji Yuan and Li Jianjian arrived in the village, they quickly became friends with a group of children from the neighborhood.

Li Jianjian comes here at least once a year. Although she is young and doesn't remember much, she is quite familiar with the area because she comes here so often.

……

On the other side, after dropping the two off, Li Haichao stayed for a meal and then left.

Back in the city, Li Haichao was greeted by He Mei the next day, and then He Ziqiu was taken away by He Mei.

When He Ziqiu was taken away by He Mei, both Li Haichao and He Ziqiu were very reluctant to part with him.

After He Mei took He Ziqiu away, she went straight to her hometown in the countryside.

He Ziqiu was unaware that he was about to be abandoned in a rural village.

They were still thinking about moving into the Li family's house.

"Mom, when are you going to marry Dad?"

He Ziqiu looked at He Mei and asked.

He Mei was taken aback. "Dad?"

"Isn't Uncle Li my dad?"

He Ziqiu then recounted what he had witnessed about the 'betrothal gifts'.

Then she talked about what had happened at Li Haichao's house recently.

He Ziqiu smiled broadly as he recounted his experiences over the past few days.

Seeing this, He Mei felt a little guilty and turned her head away, not daring to look at He Ziqiu.

This time, she came to take He Ziqiu away with the intention of handing him over to her mother and then going to Pengcheng to work.

She couldn't continue working in Xiamen.

Not long ago, while she was working at a cosmetics counter, she was pursued by the store manager. It turned out that the store manager was a married man. She hadn't done anything wrong, but the store manager's wife made a scene at her workplace, which turned into a big commotion.

When the store manager's wife made a scene, the store manager immediately fired He Mei.

The news quickly spread in the neighborhood, and He Mei was widely criticized as a mistress.

Many people don't care about the truth; they are only interested in watching the show and standing on moral high ground to uphold their own sense of justice.

He Mei is beautiful and a single mother; some people always like to make malicious assumptions about people like her.

As if things weren't bad enough, one wall outside He Mei's rented room was covered with words like "He Mei, the vixen," and "seducing other men," written by someone.

Perhaps she is the wife of the cosmetics store manager, or perhaps she is a righteous person?

In short, because of this situation, the landlord believed the rumors and kicked He Mei out, preventing her from renting his room any longer.

He Mei knew she couldn't stay here any longer.

Therefore, she plans to leave Xiamen and go to Shenzhen to work and earn money.

However, Ziqiu was difficult to take with her, so she had to be sent to her hometown in the countryside to be cared for by her mother and sister.

In other words, what He Ziqiu hoped for was destined not to happen. She would not marry Li Haichao, He Ziqiu would not be able to move into the Li family, and she would even have to go to the countryside to be a left-behind child.

He Mei did not tell Li Haichao about this, nor did she discuss with him whether they should take things further.

However, Li Haichao had a feeling that he and He Mei were unlikely to get together.

……

Li Jianjian's maternal grandmother's hometown in the countryside.

Li Jianjian has always had a somewhat wild personality.

Arriving here is like releasing monkeys back into the mountains; they become even wilder.

With Ji Yuan around, Li Jianjian became the leader of a group of children in just one day.

He would take a group of children and spend his days climbing trees to steal birds' nests, stealing melons and dates, and chasing chickens and dogs around the village.

They even wanted to go into the water to catch fish, but Ji Yuan stopped them; that wouldn't do.

But it's alright. Since they can't go into the water to catch fish, there's a stream nearby, so they ran to lift up stones in the stream to catch crabs.

A real-life village bully.
