After checking up on Grandma Tao, Tan Rou went to the kitchen to help her mother cook. Soon, a table of delicious food was served.
Grandpa Tao was the oldest in the family, so before dinner, he had to say something. “We haven’t had a meal together in a long time. It used to be because Xiao Zhi was away, and then it was because of Rourou. Now we’re finally reunited! Come, let’s have a drink together to celebrate our family reunion!”
Everyone raised their glasses. Even Mother Tao, who never drank, poured half a glass of wine. However, Tao Qi and Tan Rou weren’t adults yet, so they couldn’t drink. They could only drink fruit juice instead of alcohol.
“To celebrate our new home!”
Tao Qi did not forget his third sister at all times. “Also, to celebrate the completion of your competition and congratulations in advance for entering the finals!”
Tan Rou smiled and rebuked Tao Qi. “The results haven’t been announced yet. Why are you so excited?”
Tao Qi blinked. “You will definitely be getting full marks anyways.”
Tan Rou raised her eyebrows. “Well, I’ll thank you for that.” She raised her glass. “My grades aren’t important. What’s important is that Big Brother is back. We will be able to spend more time with each other now.”
Mrs. Tao concluded, “Everyone of you here is as important. We’re a family and everything related to all of you here is important.”
The Tao family was filled with liveliness as they enjoyed their meal.
After the meal, Tan Rou and Mrs. Tao went out for a walk with Grandma Tao to digest the food. As for the pots and pans, they were left to the men at home.
“Rourou, what do you think of the environment here? There’s a big man-made lake behind. You can go there for your jog in the morning.”
Tan Rou didn’t have many requirements for her living environment. She didn’t care if it was a luxurious room arranged by her family or the small dormitory she used to live in.
However, she knew that this was the place her mother had carefully chosen for her and she was quite happy about it.
“I quite like it.” Tan Rou observed the tall evergreen tree beside her. “The trees that they’ve planted here wouldn’t shed so much even all year round. I think they look great.”
Grandma Tao said, “Having more greeneries around is good. There’s plenty of oxygen. Also, looking at green-colored items is good for the eyes. You always study so hard. You should look at them more frequently.”
They continued to walk forward. As they walked, Mrs. Tao pointed at one of the villas and said, “This is my friend’s house. She moved here not long ago.”
Tan Rou looked at the familiar house and was stunned for a moment. She recognized that house because Zhuang Liu had brought her here last time. This was Shen Jing’s house.
“We’ll go over to her house when we’re free,” said Mrs. Tao.
Tan Rou did not stop her. She also wanted to visit Shen Jing to see if she had gotten better.
Suddenly, a black car drove over quickly and stopped beside them.
The three of them looked at each other. They wouldn’t have been in the way but why did the car stop?”
“Xiao Rou?” Zhuang Liu rolled down the car window. “Auntie Tao! Why are you here?”
When Mrs. Tao saw Zhuang Liu, she was very happy. “Oh! Xiao Zhuang! Nice to see you!”
Zhuang Liu quickly asked Xiao Mo to take his wheelchair down. Although he could walk now, he couldn’t expose himself yet, so he had to sit in the wheelchair to hide the truth.
Zhuang Liu was obviously a little excited. He asked Tan Rou, “Rourou, are you here to meet me?”
Tan Rou laughed and pointed at her new house. She said to Zhuang Liu with a faint smile, “I haven’t had time to tell you that we moved here.”
Zhuang Liu felt upset. He had been too busy recently. He was so busy that he did not even know that Tan Rou had moved, let alone that Tan Rou had moved next door to his house.
Grandma Tao looked at Tan Rou and then at Zhuang Liu.
Tan Rou introduced him to her. “This is a friend of mine. He takes good care of me. My parents know him too.”
“Third Brother, this is my grandmother.” Her words were very clever. Not only did she mention Zhuang Liu’s identity, but it also meant that Zhuang Liu was not some shady friend, but someone her parents knew.
Grandma Tao felt that this man looked familiar. She seemed to have seen him in the Capital before.
“Eh?” Shen Jing came out of the house and was very surprised to see Tan Rou. “Rourou, you’re here too! This kid didn’t even tell me about you coming here!”
“Mom,” Zhuang Liu said, “This is Rourou’s mother and grandmother.”
When Mother Tao saw Shen Jing, she looked surprised. “Huh? Xiao Zhuang is your son?”
“Rourou is your daughter?” Shen Jing asked in return..
