Chapter 503 She's a skilled cook

But thinking about it, it's understandable.

Now that Yan Yan's child is sick, how can the parents not worry? No matter how busy they are, they have to make time to be with their child.

Qin Yunzhou approached the old lady, nodded, and then glanced at the school gates, which remained tightly closed.

"Grandma, weren't you at work? Why did you suddenly come back?"

Since the old lady started working, she rarely returns to the military family compound. She mostly lives in the town and only comes back occasionally when there is something to do.

Grandma Qin smiled and said, "I'm getting old and don't plan to continue working. I plan to stay home and help you take care of your children so that I can ease your burden a bit."

"I've already talked to Sui Sui about this, and she agreed."

"In short, as long as I'm here in this family, you can just go to work when you're busy, and you don't have to worry about anything at home." Old Mrs. Qin patted her chest and made a serious promise.

She is indeed old, but she is still very healthy and taking care of two children is a piece of cake for her.

The young couple didn't even need to spend money on a nanny. Instead of wasting that money, they could spend it on feeding and nourishing their two children.

Children are young and often lack nutrition, so this aspect should not be neglected.

She's a great cook, and she'll definitely be able to fatten up her two kids to be chubby and healthy.

Qin Yunzhou was somewhat surprised, but in a short while he realized what was going on and understood why the old lady had resigned.

After a moment of silence, he was filled with mixed emotions—a mix of gratitude and complex feelings…

"Thank you, Grandma."

They definitely feel more at ease with their own family members taking care of them than with a nanny.

Neither he nor Xu Sui could resign. If they did, they would be unable to provide their two children with material security or better options for the future.

In addition to their two children, they also have elderly parents to take care of.

So all they can do is try to get off work early and go home to be with their two children, and spend as much time with them as possible on weekends.

Grandma Qin waved her hand, making no attempt to hide anything, and simply laid everything out in the open.

"Oh dear, child, there's no need for thanks when we're family."

"I'm getting old and can't keep up with the pace of life outside anymore, which is why I wanted to quit my job. It's not just for the two kids, and it's not just for you. Don't overthink it, and don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"I'm mostly thinking about myself. You can just consider me retired now, staying at home to take care of my two great-grandchildren."

People are all empathetic. To put it bluntly, if Xu Sui and Qin Yunzhou don't treat her well and can't give her the retirement life she wants...

Someone like her wouldn't work herself to death taking care of their children.

Even if they weren't her biological children, she still wouldn't be able to raise them if they couldn't give her what she wanted.

If you don't plan for yourself in this lifetime, do you expect others to plan for you?

People say that raising children is for old age security, but can raising children really provide for old age security?

Really not necessarily.

There are many biological children in this world who abandon their elderly parents.

Of course, Grandma Qin also sincerely hoped that Yan Yan could get better. After all, she had watched the child grow up with her own eyes, and she had developed feelings for her over the years.

Qin Yunzhou pursed his lips, looked at the old lady, and earnestly said thank you.

Of course they knew what kind of person the old lady was; he had known since his first trip back to his hometown.

The old lady may have had selfish motives, but she has also genuinely contributed to, considered, and planned for their family.

I'm not the kind of person who just talks a big game about how much I care about you, but doesn't actually do anything for you.

Based on this alone, Qin Yunzhou and Xu Sui couldn't bring themselves to dislike the old lady. On the contrary, they were quite grateful to her and were willing to treat her as family, as a member of the family, and to treat her well.

"School's out! School's out! School's finally out!" At that moment, the parents waiting outside watched as the school gates suddenly opened.

The children, carrying their little schoolbags, squeezed out of the school one by one, looking up as if searching for their parents.

Of all the children, there was only one exception.

Qin Yunzhou has good eyesight.

He spotted Yan Yan walking slowly out of the school all alone, carrying her small schoolbag.

The six-year-old child was small and all alone.

The son's fair face was expressionless, his lips were pursed, and he exuded an aloofness that kept everyone at arm's length.

I didn't have a single companion by my side from beginning to end.

Grandma Qin was heartbroken when she saw this, and she rushed over and hugged the child tightly.

"Yan Yan, Yan Yan, your great-grandmother and your father have come to pick you up."

Other children at this age have many friends around them, and they are always mischievous, climbing trees, fighting, crying and making a fuss.

I've reached the age where even cats and dogs dislike me.

But Yan Yan is different.

She had previously thought it was just the child's personality and hadn't considered that possibility.

Looking back now, Grandma Qin couldn't help but feel a little guilty, always feeling that she hadn't taken good care of the child and hadn't noticed anything wrong with him in time.

She instinctively hugged her great-grandson tightly, lowered her head and rubbed her forehead against the child's face, her eyes filled with heartache.

"Yan Yan, your great-grandmother made you something delicious. Come on, let's go home for dinner."

Yan Yan didn't say anything from beginning to end, quietly letting Grandma Qin hold her, her gaze fixed on a small blade of grass not far away.

It was as if they were completely immersed in their own world.

It didn't call for help, nor did it struggle.

Qin Yunzhou walked over and, seeing his son like this, became even more aware of the difference between his son and other children.

He was also feeling very bad.

"Let's go home."

Qin Yunzhou reached out and touched his son's head, his voice becoming much gentler.

"From now on, Dad will try his best to pick you up from school."

The daughter spends most of her time at the factory. Xu Sui works there, and she will bring her daughter back with her.

The military primary school was some distance from the county's machinery factory.

Even if Xu Sui goes to get off work on a regular schedule, she cannot get back in time to pick up her son from school.

Therefore, the couple had to split up, each taking responsibility for one child, and trying their best to take good care of both children.

He noticed that his son hadn't said a word from beginning to end.

Qin Yunzhou picked up his son and carried him on his shoulder like a kitten.

He remembered that when his two children came to the army from Beijing, they loved to sit on his shoulders.

Although his son was introverted at that time, he could still tell that his son liked him.
