After transmigrating, I became a stepmother.

"Okay." The little bun excitedly led the group away.

"Which one do you think is better, Mother?" Lin asked the old lady as soon as she saw the other person leave.

"Both are good. Fang Hu is steady and reliable, while Sun En is straightforward. They each have their own strengths." The old lady finally understood why her son had chosen these two children.

Lin Hao actually favored Sun En more. She was looking for a playmate for Xiao Baozi. A sensitive child like Xiao Baozi should be paired with someone with a simpler mind to take care of him.

"Let's see which one Yu-ge'er likes better when he comes back!" Little Baozi's feelings are more important.

Before long, Gu Yu, the little dumpling, returned with his group. The three of them chatted and laughed, their faces beaming with smiles!

"Grandma, Mother, I'm back from picking flowers!" The little boy's voice was loud and clear, showing that he was in a very good mood!

"You're back! Come and let Grandma see you!" The old lady was happy to see her grandson so happy.

"Madam, may I take these flowers back to my grandfather?" Seeing that the grandfather and grandson were chatting happily, Sun En turned his gaze to Lin Hao.

"Of course." Lin Hao was taken aback by these words and paused for a moment before replying.

"Thank you, Madam!" Sun En immediately became happy, holding the flowers as if they were some kind of treasure.

Fang Hu, who was standing to the side, pursed his lips but ultimately did not voice his thoughts.

"Sweetie, where are all the flowers you picked?" Lin Hao asked, looking at the beaming little dumpling.

"Here." The little boy raised his hand, indicating that everything was here.

"You can take the flowers you picked today home. Go on! They'll wilt before they die." Lin Hao said, seeing the two children looking at the flowers in their hands with great care.

"Tu Bai, have the kitchen take some snacks back for them." Lin Hao thought that no matter what the outcome, she couldn't let the two children make a wasted trip.

"Yes."

After everyone left, Lin Hao asked the little boy, "Sweetie, which handsome boy do you like?"

"Hmm... I like them both." The little bun thought about it seriously, but still couldn't decide.

"So what did you talk about when you went to pick flowers?" Lin Hao asked patiently.

"Brother Fang Hu asked me what flowers my grandmother and mother liked."

"So what did you say?" It seems that Fang Hu is a bit older and does know how to win the favor of adults.

“I said, it’s pretty, and it’s red,” the little boy said proudly. His grandmother and mother were always happy when he picked such flowers.

The old lady and Lin Hao burst out laughing. This was clearly what the little bun liked!

"What about Brother Sun En? Did he say anything?" Lin Hao asked curiously. That boy didn't seem like a quiet person.

"He said he wanted to pick flowers for his grandfather." The little boy seemed to agree with this.

However, he tilted his head and asked curiously, "Grandma, what about my grandfather?"

The old lady didn't expect him to ask that, and didn't react for a moment. After a pause, she replied, "He went to a very far place and hasn't come back yet!"

"Is it very far, like when Dad goes out?" In Xiao Baozi's mind, the last time his father went out, he went to a very, very far place, so it took him a long time to come home.

“It’s even farther than that!” The old lady’s tone became drawn out, and her mood was no longer as cheerful as before.

Little Baozi didn't know what he had said wrong, and looked at Lin Hao helplessly.

"So who do you want to play with by your side?" Lin Hao brought the topic back.

The little boy was in a dilemma; he felt that both of them were very nice.

Lin Hao didn't rush him; this was a small test for him. Life always presents many choices.

After a while, the little boy finally made up his mind. He looked up at Lin Hao and said, "I want Brother Sun En."

"Can you tell your mother why?" Although this was in line with Lin Hao's expectations, she was still curious about the little bun's reason.

"Yes, it's Brother Sun En who plays with me," the little boy explained with some difficulty.

Lin Hao thought for a moment and asked, "Is it because Sun En was just like you and could play together, but Brother Fang Hu always takes care of you, which doesn't seem like you can play together, right?"

“Yes.” The little boy’s eyes lit up; that was exactly what he meant.

Lin Hao exchanged a glance with the old lady, and seeing the satisfaction in her eyes, she said to the little bun, "Okay, then it's settled, it's Sun En."

"Hmm." This was the first time Little Baozi had ever chosen someone for himself, which made him feel like an adult, and he was full of energy.

"However, your mother wants to tell you this in advance."

Looking at the little boy's excited expression, Lin Hao felt that there were some things she needed to tell him beforehand.

"Hmm?" The little bun looked at him in confusion.

"You chose Brother Sun En yourself, so you two should get along well from now on. Although you're playmates, you can't neglect your studies!"

"Yes, I won't forget to study." The little boy was very confident; he still wanted to become the top scholar in the imperial examination!

"Okay, from now on, Brother Sun En will be your friend. You have to take good care of him!"

"Okay." Lin Hao's words made the little bun feel that he had been entrusted with an important task, and he immediately puffed out his little chest.

When Tu Bai returned, the old lady and Lin Hao inquired about Sun En from him.

Only then did they learn that Sun En was none other than the grandson of Manager Sun the Second, and even his name was related to the Gu family.

"What a coincidence!" Lin Hao exclaimed, looking at the old lady.

“Who says otherwise? We adults are destined to be together, and these little ones are just as compatible.”

The old lady was also very happy with this outcome. With such a close family, if Sun En is raised well, he can definitely become a great help to Yu Ge'er.

"Then you'll have to make the trip. Just tell them we've arranged for Enge'er to come, and he'll come starting tomorrow! We'll send someone to pick him up in the morning and send him back in the evening."

Although Lin Hao wanted to find playmates for Xiao Baozi, she couldn't bear to separate the child from his family at such a young age. It was just a little troublesome, but it didn't matter.

"Yes." Seeing that things were settled, Tu Bai was also happy.

Before the tea leaves could even be washed away, someone below reported: Manager Sun has arrived.

"Alright, you don't need to make another trip now, the main character has arrived!" Lin Hao said to Tu Bai with a smile.

"That's great, this servant has gotten a good deal." Tu Bai joked along.

"Greetings, Madam and Master." Manager Sun bowed as soon as he entered.

"Get up! What brings you here today?" the old lady asked.

"As you have entrusted, I have found a good location for the restaurant and the price is reasonable. However, I still need you to take a closer look." Manager Sun bowed, as he was always cautious and wanted to handle things carefully.

Then he explained the situation in detail. After listening to what Manager Sun said, Lin Hao thought it was very good, but he had never seen it with his own eyes.
