To make up for the debt owed to Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

That afternoon, Lin Qingping simply told Sister Zhao to close the dessert shop for a day. Several adults and children, along with Lin Qingyun, joined in. As it turned out, Yunqi was also there, and the whole group spent the whole day playing in Grandpa Yun's suburban courtyard.

The suburban yard is quite large; it has vegetables, chickens and ducks, and a cornfield.

The children were having a blast.

He ran wildly in the fields and chased chickens and ducks in the yard. As a result, Yun Xiaoshan was chased and pecked by a big rooster, falling face-first into the mud several times. Finally, his father rescued him, and he cried loudly in Yun Yan's arms.

But watching the rooster walk away dejectedly, he laughed heartily, his chubby white face flushed with the rosy glow of exercise.

"Is it fun?" Yun Yan asked his son.

Yun Xiaoshan nodded. "Shall we come again next time?"

Yun Xiaoshan had never played so freely before. When his mother took him, it was either to drink tea at this place or to learn this or that. Where could he have so much fun?

Seeing his son all dirty, Yun Yan chuckled, "Okay."

After the children got tired of playing, Lin Qingping set up an iron frame in the yard and lit a charcoal fire. Even though it was a hot day, roasted corn, potatoes, and various kinds of meat were quite delicious!

After finishing the barbecue, Lin Qingping and Gu Youlian cooked a fruit salad. Not only did the children eat to their hearts' content, but even Yun Yan and Grandpa Yun exclaimed: "What a wonderful life this is!"

This was the first time Little Round Face had participated in such an event. She said to Zhiyuan, "Wow, your family is so much fun! You never invited me before!"

Zhiyuan hadn't even considered inviting the kids to his house. He chuckled, "I'll invite you next time."

Hearing this from the side, Yun Xiaoshan couldn't help but interject, "Li Zhiyuan, do you often play these kinds of games at home?"

Zhiyuan nodded.

Xiaomai added, "We also roasted a leg of lamb! It was huge! My uncle roasted it for us and sliced ​​it for us to eat!"

Yun Xiaoshan looked envious. "I've never had it before." Then he looked up at his dad. "Dad, can we grill some at home too?"

Yun Yan laughed and said, "Sure! We'll come to Great-Grandpa's for a barbecue in winter, and we'll invite all the kids over!"

Yun Xiaoshan was finally happy.

The clever little round-faced girl noticed something: "Hey, Yun Xiaoshan, why do you call us Great-Grandpa and we call us Grandpa? Does that mean you should call us Dad?"

Yun Xiaoshan: ...

Yun Yan: ...

Everyone:……

Then the whole audience burst into laughter.

Yun Xiaoshan's face turned bright red. "Impossible! Impossible! I have a father!"

"Well..." The little round-faced girl couldn't figure out the generational order.

"You should call him Uncle," Yun Yan corrected him with a smile.

Yun Xiaoshan objected immediately, "No! You can't!"

Zhiyuan glanced at Yun Xiaoshan and mouthed "Grandpa".

Startled, Yun Xiaoshan covered Zhiyuan's mouth and, after a long pause, said aggrievedly, "Then... Uncle it is!"

It's better to call someone "uncle" than "grandpa"!

Although no one knew why there was such a sudden change, they still laughed and said, "You can all talk your own way. It doesn't matter how Zhiyuan calls the old man. You classmates are still of the same generation."

Yun Xiaoshan then let go.

Regardless, it was a pleasant afternoon, except for Yunqi and Lin Qingyun.

The two barely spoke a word throughout the entire time, and Yunqi tried to approach her several times, but she dodged him each time.

Yunqi was also afraid that he would annoy her and make her unhappy, so he consciously kept his distance and kept an eye on her from several people away.

As dusk fell and everyone prepared to head back, Yunqi stared blankly at Lin Qingyun, not daring to utter a sound.

Yun Yan was getting impatient and glared at him angrily, "You stupid idiot!"

Yunqi became even more dejected after being scolded by his brother.

"Forget it! I can't be bothered with you!" Yun Yan said she wouldn't talk to him, but after taking a couple of steps, she couldn't help but turn back to remind him, "You've had a smooth life from childhood to adulthood, but you need to know that not everything in this world can be achieved without effort. At least you have to try so you won't have any regrets! Instead of waiting for a free lunch to fall from the sky!"

Yun Xiaoshan was already calling for his dad, "Dad, hurry up, we're waiting for you!"

"I'm leaving now. Take care of yourself!" Yun Yan glared at him and walked towards his son.

Second Sister went straight back to school, Yun Yan was going to take Xiao Yuanlian back, while Lin Qingping and Gu Youlian took Zhiyuan and Xiaomai home.

"Xiaomai and I are going straight back. We won't be visiting you. See you tomorrow," Gu Youlian said to Lin Qingping.

"Okay! Bye-bye!" Lin Qingping sometimes unconsciously speaks with habits from her past life.

Gu Youlian rolled her eyes at her, "Speaking to me in foreign languages ​​again! Don't you know I'm illiterate?"

Gu Youlian is no longer surprised by her.

Lin Qingping chuckled and entered the courtyard. He found the house lights on and initially thought it was Sister Zhao. However, when he opened the door, he found a pair of men's shoes by the door.

"Uncle Gu is back!" Zhiyuan jumped in excitedly.

Gu Juncheng came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of noodles. "Where did you go? There's no one at home or in the shop."

Lin Qingping smiled and said, "They ran away with the money, do you believe it or not?"

Gu Juncheng had a "I can't be bothered with you" expression on his face.

Lin Qingping glanced at his bowl and teased, "Eating pig slop again!"

Another bowl of messy noodles!

Gu Juncheng sat down and stirred his noodles. "I don't want to eat pig swill, though. Everyone's gone!"

Zhiyuan thought his Uncle Gu was angry, so he sat down and said to him, "Uncle Gu, today is Children's Day. We had a cultural performance in the morning, and in the afternoon we went to see Grandpa Yun with some classmates."

"Oh? All the classmates went?" Gu Juncheng was surprised.

"Yes!" Zhiyuan nodded. "We went to Grandpa Yun's house in the suburbs. It was so much fun! Such a big yard, a cornfield, and persimmon trees. Grandpa Yun said he'd call us to pick persimmons to eat when they're ripe."

"No wonder!" Otherwise, with so many people going to the Yun family, wouldn't Yun Yan's wife give them a hard time?

"Uncle Gu, why are people so different?" Zhiyuan said. "Yun Xiaoshan's father and mother are really different!"

"Of course they're different, one is a man and the other is a woman."

Zhiyuan: ...

"No, I mean, Yun Xiaoshan's mother is so strange, but Yun Yan's father is so nice? Even Yun Xiaoshan becomes cuter when he's with his dad." Zhiyuan said thoughtfully.

"Really? People are always different." At this moment, Gu Juncheng showed no unusual reaction.

Lin Qingping picked up the thread, "Indeed! Yun Yan is such a good person, how could he have chosen such a wife? I'm not saying Liu Yan is bad, but the two of them are incompatible. Their personalities and thoughts are different, how could they get along?"

Gu Juncheng, who was eating noodles, raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at her. "Really? You also say he's good?"

"Of course! He's generous, patient, good-tempered, and even good with kids..." Lin Qingping racked her brains, trying to find more adjectives to describe him, "Well, of course, he's quite handsome too..."

Then, they noticed that Gu Juncheng's expression was off.
