CHAPTER 784: CHAPTER 781: VISITING THE CHILDREN

"Xiao Yong, why are you standing under the sun? Come inside quickly! Aren’t you afraid of getting sunburned?"

An auntie saw Zhou Zhiyong standing in the yard and hurriedly called him inside.

"Tang Tang is coming back soon, I’m waiting for her," Xiao Yong said happily.

A little girl sitting in the shade of the corridor immediately perked up her ears upon hearing this.

"Who told you that?" The auntie was a bit surprised upon hearing this, as she hadn’t heard the news.

"Grandma Ding told me, she said Auntie Ruan sent her a message, they’re already on their way," Xiao Yong replied cheerfully.

The little girl who had been eavesdropping ran up to Xiao Yong and asked excitedly, "Is Uncle Shen coming too?"

"I don’t know about that," replied Xiao Yong.

The little girl seemed a bit disappointed upon hearing this.

The little girl was Lin Qiuxue, who had previously been rescued by Shen Siyuan from an abandoned house, and she and her brother Xia Wenbing no longer wandered.

Like the other kids, Xiaoxue enrolled in a nearby school, and her brother Xia Wenbing was arranged by Xu Liangyou to work at a nearby car repair shop to learn car repair. Though he’s usually busy, he always comes to visit Xiaoxue whenever he’s off.

Because Shen Siyuan was said to be a friend of her mom’s, she was especially attached to him.

"It’s okay if Uncle Shen doesn’t come, Wenbing will come to see you when he’s off," said Xiao Yong.

"It’s not the same, I haven’t seen Uncle Shen for so long. Did you see him the last time you went to his house?" Xiaoxue said sadly.

She also wanted to play at Uncle’s house, but she wasn’t invited, which made her feel bad, like she was abandoned again.

"No, he wasn’t home. Only Tang Tang and her mom were there. But Uncle’s house is so big and beautiful, with lots of toys..." Xiao Yong said excitedly.

But Xiaoxue didn’t want to hear any of it; she turned around and walked away.

"Hey, what’s wrong?" Xiao Yong was a bit puzzled.

"But if Auntie Ruan comes, Uncle Shen should come along, right?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxue perked up again and ran back.

This time, she stood beside Xiao Yong, patiently listening to him talk about how big and beautiful Uncle Shen’s house was.

Actually, she had heard these words countless times before, because Xiao Yong had been talking about it non-stop since he returned. At first, the kids were very curious and envious, but after hearing it so much, it became annoying.

Ding Guilan came out of the house and, seeing the two little ones standing under the sun, understood what was going on and didn’t call them back.

Instead, she instructed the cook auntie that they should add two extra dishes for lunch since guests were coming today.

Since Jiang Yingxue and Rainbow House signed the charity donation agreement, she and her husband no longer worried about funding.

So they started to care more about the children’s mental health and their daily needs.

Just then, they heard the sound of cars outside the yard, and Xiao Yong and Xiaoxue immediately ran over and peeked through the crack in the door to look outside.

The reason why is because the big iron door in the yard was locked, mainly to prevent the kids from running around.

Ding Guilan also heard, so she immediately asked, "Xiao Yong, is it someone coming to Rainbow House?"

The reason she asked was that the car might just be passing by their door.

"It’s Uncle Shen and Sister Ruan and them," Xiao Yong said excitedly.

"Grandma Ding, hurry and open the door, hurry!" Xiaoxue impatiently ran back and pulled Ding Guilan’s hand, trying to drag her towards the courtyard door.

"Slow down, don’t pull grandma over," Ding Guilan said with a smile, taking out the key to the iron gate.

"Oh, oh..."

"Oh, I hear Tang Tang’s voice," Ding Guilan’s face was full of warmth.

As the iron door opened, Xiao Yong and Xiaoxue helped push it to the sides, and Ding Guilan saw Shen Siyuan and others getting off the car.

"Drive the car in," Ding Guilan called out.

"Oh~"

Seeing Ding Guilan, Tang Tang, who was cradled in her mom’s arms, struggled to get down.

Mao Sanmei had just put her down when she opened her arms and ran with short legs towards Ding Guilan.

"han~"

She had a silly smile on her face.

"Tang Tang."

Xiao Yong was so happy to see Tang Tang that he immediately stepped forward to hug her.

But Tang Tang pushed him away mercilessly.

"Nono..."

She made a noise from her mouth that seemed to tell Xiao Yong not to block the way.

Xiao Yong:...

He felt like he had misplaced his emotions.

Tang Tang ignored him and ran directly to Ding Guilan. She hadn’t seen Grandma Ding for a while either.

"Tang Tang, little baby..." Ding Guilan bent down to pick her up.

"han~"

Tang Tang squirmed happily in her arms.

"Hey, don’t wiggle, you’re making Grandma dizzy."

As she spoke, she habitually lifted the drool bib around Tang Tang’s neck to wipe away her saliva.

"You’ve gained some weight and grown taller, but this drooling habit hasn’t changed at all..." Ding Guilan said with a smile as she looked at the little darling in her arms.

Seeing them talking together, Shen Siyuan didn’t disturb them. He was about to ask Taozi to drive the car into the yard when he saw Xiaoxue walk up to him, looking at him blankly.

"Xiaoxue, long time no see, how have you been recently?" Shen Siyuan asked, reaching out to touch her head.

"Uncle." Xiaoxue called softly, her voice carrying a hint of grievance.

"What’s wrong? Who bullied you?" Shen Siyuan squatted down and asked in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxue shook her head hurriedly, indicating no one had.

"She misses you," Xiao Yong interjected.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxue gave him a glare, feeling a bit embarrassed about having her feelings revealed so bluntly by Xiao Yong.

"Uncle missed Xiaoxue too, that’s why I specifically came to see you today. And I brought gifts for you all," Shen Siyuan said, gently pinching her cheek.

Compared to when they first met, Lin Qiuxue’s complexion was noticeably better, and her cheeks had become rounded, no longer looking pale and malnourished.

"Gifts, do I have one too?" Xiao Yong asked in surprise.

"Of course, Tang Tang even prepared a special gift for you," said Shen Siyuan.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yong became very happy, "Alright, I’ll forgive her temporarily."

He shot a sideways glance at Tang Tang, who was cradled in Grandma’s arms.

"I’ve also prepared a special gift for you."

Shen Siyuan touched Xiaoxue’s head again, making her even happier.

In truth, it wasn’t just her; Xiao Yong also got one. Shen Siyuan had prepared gifts for several familiar children individually.

"Oh gosh, nobody’s paying attention to you."

Dou Dou stood beside Ruan Hongzhuang and whispered to her, observing the two groups talking.

The reason was that not only did no one pay attention to Sister Ruan, but no one paid attention to her either, which made her quite unhappy.

"You’re so clever."

Ruan Hongzhuang lightly tapped her small head, then directed Taozi to drive the car into the yard.

Seeing the car drive past her, Ding Guilan then came to her senses, finally putting down Tang Tang and greeting everyone.

"Welcome..."
