Seeing the thousand-layer cake, Tuantuan's eyes lit up like light bulbs, and he jumped over with joy, hugging the box and shouting happily: "Mom, Gao Gao, I love eating Gao Gao."

"Have you thanked your aunt?" Ji Luo reminded him.

"Thank you, aunt."

Ji Luo sat down on the stool next to his mother-in-law and held out his hand to him: "Come, mom will open it for you, and we can share it together."

Both children loved the thousand-layer cake, especially Tuantuan. He loved sweets and ate it with gusto, grabbing a piece in each hand. While eating, he chattered with Ren Yi in a way that no one could understand.

After he finished eating two pieces, Ji Luo stopped him from continuing. He closed the lid and said, "Take the rest back and eat them. We'll have mutton hotpot tonight, and I'll let you try grilled mutton skewers later."

"Tuan Tuan, grilled lamb skewers are better than thousand-layer cakes."

Kangzi couldn't help drooling when he thought about the grilled lamb skewers. He kept licking his lips and looked out the door eagerly, "Why haven't they been delivered yet?"

"It should be soon. The waiter said the food will be served in half an hour."

Ruan Danqiong put the cakes in her bag. Seeing Tuantuan looking at her bag pitifully, she couldn't help but smile: "Mom is the most important person in the family. Mom said you can't eat any more, and grandma doesn't dare to give you any."

"Hehe..." Ren Yi chuckled, picked up his grandson who was lying on the table, and patted his little butt. "The food will be served soon. Shabu-shabu mutton is more delicious than thousand-layer cake. Eat more mutton later, so you can grow tall and strong."

It didn't take long before the waiter brought the dish. As soon as the fragrant grilled lamb skewers were on the table, they instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"grandfather."

Tuan Tuan had a keen sense of smell. He pointed at the grilled lamb skewers and excitedly expressed his desire.

Ren Yi picked up a bunch without chili powder. When he saw him grabbing it with both hands, he immediately avoided his hands and said, "Don't grab it. It's very hot. Grandpa will blow it down for you before eating."

Ruan Minghui brought the skewers to the two elders and said with a smile, "Second uncle, little Tuanzi is very good at grabbing things. You can't beat him."

Before he could finish his words, Tuantuan grabbed Grandpa's clothes, stepped up, put his feet on his legs, and threw himself at the kebabs.

"Ha ha..."

Everyone else was laughing, and Ji Luo didn't try to stop him. He let him act naughty in front of his father-in-law and ate the skewers leisurely.

"You two, grandparents, continue your battle of wits and courage. We'll eat first." Ruan Danqiong did not get involved.

With Grandpa giving him some leeway, Tuantuan successfully grabbed the lamb skewers, ate them until his mouth was full of oil, and he kept shouting with joy.

Ji Luo did not stop him from eating, but only reminded him: "Tuantuan, sit down properly, don't spill the oil on grandpa."

"It's okay, just wash it when it gets dirty."

Ren Yi held him in one hand and patiently took care of him while he ate. He also chatted with Peng Jinsong next to him about work.

The next day, Hanlin Wenhua Bookstore opened. Ji Luo and her friends rushed there early to congratulate and show their support. They also sent opening fireworks and firecrackers. She asked her parents-in-law to help her take care of the children, and she served as a greeter at the door to help receive customers.

They had done publicity in advance, with flyers posted on bulletin boards at the entrances of major colleges, universities, and primary and secondary schools. They also hired dozens of college students to hand out flyers on the street yesterday, and set up discount promotions for the opening, so a lot of people came to support the event today.

Lin Wei was unable to attend the event as she was in confinement after childbirth, but Xu Guanglei, who was on maternity leave at home, came in person and spoke a few words in a formal manner during the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

After the bookstore officially opened, Ren Yi and his wife walked around in the bookstore for nearly an hour, then took Tuantuan to the department store to pick out some gifts to visit the Wu family. They had lunch at their sister and brother-in-law's house, and came to the bookstore at three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Luoluo, are you done with your work here? Your dad said he's going to pick up Rong Yan from school."

"Okay, I'll need another ten minutes."

Ji Luo was helping to sort out the accounts and count money in the small lounge. Business was good today, and there was a large box of colorful change that needed to be sorted. Xu Guanglei had just given her this task.

Seeing that she was busy with this, Ruan Danqiong went out and told Ren Yi, and immediately came over to help her.

After completing the task, Ji Luo immediately called his parents-in-law to set off, and also took Kangzi, who was bored here, with him. As soon as he got in the car, he asked his son who was lying on his grandfather, "Tuan Baoer, who did you go to when you went out to play with your grandparents today?"

"My aunt's house." Tuantuan answered her, speaking incoherently: "Mom, grandma, big chicken legs, let's eat them at home."

"Grandma cooked a big chicken drumstick for you to eat. Have you thanked Grandma?"

Ji Luo had taken him to the Wu family once before. The two elders in the Wu family were very kind and gentle. Grandma Wu liked cooking very much and she loved to make all kinds of delicious food for the children.

Tuantuan grinned. He was so busy eating today that he didn't even thank his elders.

"Don't do this next time. When your elders give you something good to eat, you should say thank you first. This is how a good and polite child should be." Ji Luo taught him patiently.

Tuantuan nodded and changed the subject: "Mom, pick up Dad."

"Yes, let's go pick up Dad now. My uncle is getting married tomorrow and Dad will be back to attend the wedding."

Ji Luo calculated the time and drove fast. When he arrived at the school gate, there were still more than ten minutes before the time agreed with Ren Rongyan. They did not register to enter the school and waited for him directly at the gate.

Fifteen minutes later, Ren Rongyan appeared. He saw his parents, wife and son coming from afar, so he ran out, "Dad, Mom, Luoluo."

"dad."

Tuan Tuan rushed towards him, very happy: "Dad, Dad..."

"Hey, little stinky baby."

Ren Rongyan bent down and picked him up, rubbing his fair face with his somewhat coarse hair, "Do you miss your dad?"

"I miss my dad." Tuantuan hugged his neck and pointed at Ren Yi: "Dad, grandpa."

"Oh, this is your grandpa."

Ren Rongyan smiled and cooperated with him, and asked him: "Tuantuan, who is your grandfather to your father?"

"My grandpa." This is all Tuantuan knows.

"Who is your grandfather to your father?" Ren Rongyan asked again.

Tuantuan looked confused. Seeing that the elders were all looking at him, he looked back and forth between his grandfather and his father with his big eyes and blurted out, "Brother."

"Haha..." Ruan Danqiong burst out laughing.

"Grandpa is Dad's dad." Ren Yi taught him with a smile.

"Dad's dad is grandpa, and dad's mom is grandma." Ren Rongyan took the opportunity to teach him.

Ji Luo was laughing beside him, opened the car door and shouted, "Brother Yan, he is too young to understand. His mind has been confused by you. Get in the car first."

Ren Rongyan held his son in the passenger seat and turned to ask Kangzi, "Kangzi, the bookstore opened today, why weren't you in the bookstore with your mother?"

"Uncle Rong Yan, my mom is so busy that she has no time to take care of me. She doesn't even have time to take me to eat. Aunt Ji Luo always takes me to eat at noon."

Kangzi doesn't talk much in front of strangers, but she is very familiar with Ren Rongyan. She complained to him as soon as she opened her mouth, "The bookstore is so boring, not fun at all. My mother won't let me go out and wants me to stay in the lounge. I won't go to the bookstore with her tomorrow. I want to play at home."

"Kangzi, come with us to the compound tomorrow to attend the wedding banquet and see the bride." Ruan Danqiong made arrangements.

Kangzi asked, "Grandma Ruan, is my mother going?"

"Your mother is going too."
