Su Wanru started the car and drove home.
Upon arriving home, Su Wanru truthfully informed her parents about Tongtong. Her father, somewhat puzzled by Yun Duo'er's attitude towards her own child, asked with a serious expression, "Wanru, is there something wrong with Tongtong's father?"
Su mother leaned forward, hearing her husband's question, "It must be that scoundrel, otherwise, how could our Duo'er get pregnant before marriage!"
Su Wanru dared not make a conclusion: "Actually, Duo'er never told me the details about giving birth to Tongtong. However, I do know Tongtong's father. How exactly Tongtong was born, I truly don't know."
Hearing this, and seeing Su Wanru mention Liu Yifeng, Su father's expression softened. Seeing the change in his elder daughter's demeanor, he thought: it seems the child's father is not as bad as I thought. However, Duo'er giving birth to a child out of wedlock is indeed quite baffling.
Clearing his throat, he continued to ask, "You know Tongtong's father?! How do you know him?" He paused, then tapped the armrest of the sofa, "Seeing your expression, it seems Tongtong's father is not a bad person. Then I am truly curious, why doesn't Duo'er want to live with Tongtong's father?"
Su Wanru sighed, "Alas!" She shook her head again and continued to speak to her parents, "I've asked Duo'er about it, but she refuses to talk to me about it. Whenever I mention Tongtong, she becomes emotionally unstable, angry, cries, and even accuses me of repeatedly bringing up her shameful past."
Su father tentatively asked, "Hearing what you say, it seems there's a hidden truth to this. Why don't you try to get some information from the child's father?"
Su Wanru heard her father's suggestion, "Okay, Dad, I'll try to contact him. Let's see if Tongtong's dad is free."
One morning, Liu Yifeng was in the warehouse, preparing to help Tongtong apply nutrients and growth agents to the fruit trees.
"Tongtong, there aren't many fruits this time, how should Daddy use this agent?"
"Daddy, we're visiting Teacher in a few days. We can directly soak the fruits in the diluted agent, and they'll be ready in a couple of days."
"Alright!" Hearing Tongtong's words, Liu Yifeng prepared to move a plastic box to mix the agent.
"Daddy, I'll help you carry the fruits!"
"Thank you, Tongtong, but don't be greedy and try to carry them all at once. You can use the small basket next to you and carry them a few at a time."
"Mhm! I understand, Daddy."
Although Liu Yifeng knew his son was intelligent and had good physical health, he never spoiled him. He didn't stop Tongtong from helping him with small tasks and was happy to have his assistance.
As Liu Yifeng and Tongtong were soaking the fruits, his phone rang:
"Beep! Beep! Daddy, someone's calling! Daddy, someone's calling..."
Hearing his own voice coming from Liu Yifeng's phone, Tongtong said with surprise, "Daddy, why did you set my voice as your ringtone?"
"Hahaha! Daddy specifically recorded it to be the ringtone~ That way, when Daddy gets tired from work, hearing Tongtong's voice will immediately energize him!"
Hearing Liu Yifeng say this, Tongtong immediately replied, "Daddy, me too! Sometimes when I hear Daddy's voice, I feel very secure! One time, Daddy was working away for two days and hadn't returned yet, so I asked Grandpa to call Daddy, just so I could hear Daddy's voice!" Liu Yifeng laughed heartily at Tongtong.
Hearing his son's words, Liu Yifeng's heart was filled with happiness. He kissed Tongtong's forehead and hugged him.
Looking down at the caller ID, Liu Yifeng said to Tongtong, "Tongtong, it's your Aunt Wanru calling!" He pressed the call button: "Hello, is that Wanru? Yes, I don't have anything important in the next few days. Okay, okay, I'm free, you decide the place! No problem, I'll definitely bring Tongtong. Alright, then I'll see you this afternoon!"
Being as smart as Tongtong, he couldn't help but guess what Su Wanru and Liu Yifeng had just discussed: "Daddy, is Auntie going to have dinner with us?" "Will Grandpa be with us?" The little guy instantly became excited, a hint of a knowing smile on his face, and thought: Auntie, who cares for me, chose to have dinner with Daddy during the New Year. It's definitely not simple.
After finishing the task of soaking the fruits with the agent, Liu Yifeng took Tongtong home to tidy up, and then they drove to Longteng Hotel in the city to meet Su Wanru. Of course, Liu Yifeng had also prepared some New Year's gifts.
When Liu Yifeng and Tongtong pushed open the private room door, they saw not only Su Wanru inside but also two elegantly dressed middle-aged people. As soon as Tongtong saw the two, he knew he was finally meeting his maternal grandfather and grandmother. He figured he would meet his maternal uncle in a few more days.
Liu Yifeng did not rush to greet them, but instead, spoke politely, "Wanru, Happy New Year!"
Hearing her Daddy greet Su Wanru, Tongtong followed suit: "Auntie, Happy New Year!" He then handed Su Wanru the small basket his Daddy had prepared for him to carry gifts.
Seeing Liu Yifeng and Tongtong arrive, and that Tongtong had even prepared a gift for her, Su Wanru was delighted. She first greeted Liu Yifeng and his son, "Tongtong, Yifeng, you're here! Happy New Year!" She took the gift from Tongtong, hugged him, and then led him and the gifts Liu Yifeng was carrying to a place to set them down.
She introduced them to Liu Yifeng: "Yifeng, I'm sorry, I didn't tell you earlier, but I brought my parents along."
Su father and Su mother saw how familiar Su Wanru and Liu Yifeng's father and son were, and their curiosity grew: He seems like a responsible and dependable man, and he's quite good-looking. Their child is so adorable and clever. Why did Duo'er have a child out of wedlock? And then entrust the child to him to raise?
Su mother, seeing Tongtong sweetly call Su Wanru "Auntie," felt a surge of happiness: "Tongtong, hello! I'm your maternal grandmother~"
Hearing Su mother speak to him, Tongtong politely looked at her: "Hello, Grandma, my name is Tongtong, it's a pleasure to meet you!" He then bowed to Su mother: "Grandma, Happy New Year! I wish you good health and longevity!"
