Chapter 750: Chapter 560: Did You Misunderstand Something? Or Are You Overthinking It?

Room 802, Unit 1, Building 8, Scenic Garden District.

In the Liu family’s living room.

Li Xiuxian curled up comfortably on the sofa, clutching a soft pillow tightly, her body almost entirely enveloped by the comfy sofa, completely absorbed in the captivating world of the TV drama.

"Xiuxian, come on, have some fruit..."

Xu Caihong, with a radiant smile on her face, warmly called out to her daughter-in-law while holding a freshly peeled apple and washed strawberries.

Before she could finish her sentence.

She turned towards the toy-laden area in the corner of the living room and called out to her granddaughter, who was intently playing with building blocks: "Yuanyuan, come quick, don’t just play with the blocks. Grandma has specially prepared your favorite strawberries for you. Come and try them..."

"Wow, strawberries! I love strawberries the most!"

Hearing the word "strawberry," Yuanyuan’s eyes lit up, and she immediately put down her blocks, eagerly running towards the sofa, her small hands reaching for the enticing strawberries in Xu Caihong’s hand.

However, at that critical moment...

Li Xiuxian, with sharp eyes and quick hands, swiftly caught Yuanyuan’s small hand reaching for the strawberries and said gently but firmly, "Yuanyuan, your little hands aren’t washed yet, how can you eat food directly? Go wash your hands first."

Yuanyuan’s small mouth pouted slightly, her eyes full of grievance, turning to Xu Caihong as if silently seeking help, hoping grandma would support her.

Seeing her granddaughter’s tiny mouth, almost able to hang an oil bottle, Xu Caihong couldn’t help but smile silently but still appeared reasonable over partial, saying gently, "Yuanyuan, your mom’s right. A good child needs to wash hands first, especially after playing with toys; there could be germs on your hands. Grandma saved the strawberries for you, go wash your hands quickly."

"Alright then!"

Realizing even her most doting grandma wasn’t taking her side, Yuanyuan smartly chose to comply, nodding her head, then hopping like a little rabbit towards the restroom.

A moment later...

With her hands freshly washed, Yuanyuan bounces back to the living room, spreading her hands in front of Li Xiuxian and Xu Caihong, her face brimming with pride: "Mom, Grandma, look, my hands are all clean now."

"Yuanyuan is so good!"

Xu Caihong praised with a full smile, then picked up a bright, plump strawberry with a toothpick and handed it to Yuanyuan: "Here, this is a reward from Grandma, the biggest strawberry."

"Thank you, Grandma..."

Liu Yuanyuan, with a grateful smile, took the strawberry and then dutifully offered it to Xu Caihong: "Grandma, you eat first..."

"Oh, my darling granddaughter!"

Heart warmed, Xu Caihong’s eyes welled up slightly, touched, she said, "You are so filial, Grandma’s fondness for you hasn’t been in vain. But Grandma already had some, Yuanyuan, you eat it."

With that, Xu Caihong lovingly pushed back the strawberry Yuanyuan had offered.

Yuanyuan blinked her big eyes, confirming: "Grandma, have you really had some?"

Xu Caihong nodded with a smile, "Yes, Grandma really had some, Yuanyuan, go ahead and eat..."

"Alright then, since Grandma has had some and doesn’t want it, I’ll eat it myself, hehe..."

Yuanyuan blinked her bright eyes joyously, then eagerly took a big bite of the strawberry in her hand.

The sweet juice instantly burst in her mouth, her little face blossomed with a satisfied and happy smile, joyfully shaking her head, praising as she ate, "Wow, it’s really sweet!"

With that, she picked up another bright red strawberry, happily offering it to Li Xiuxian: "Mama, you try it, it’s so sweet!"

"Oh, Mommy didn’t spoil you for nothing, there’s even some for Mama!"

Li Xiuxian, somewhat pleasantly surprised, felt a warm rush in her heart, almost shedding a few lines of tears of joy inwardly.

She laughed, took the strawberry, and bit into it gently, the sweet taste making her feel this strawberry was sweeter than ever before.

"Mm, so sweet, delicious!"

Li Xiuxian said with deep emotion as she savored it slowly, "Ever since my Yuanyuan started preschool, she’s changed so much, becoming more understanding and filial. Mommy really feels all the care wasn’t in vain."

Xu Caihong tenderly echoed from the side: "Yes, since Yuanyuan started school, she seems to have transformed, becoming more polite and ambitious. It seems the preschool teachers are excellent at teaching, raising the kids so well."

Liu Yuanyuan, hearing these words, suddenly realized she hadn’t set foot in the preschool for days, and immediately snuggled close to Li Xiuxian, gently swaying her arm, full of curiosity asking: "Mama, should I go back to preschool tomorrow?"

Due to the frequent holiday breaks preschool has for festivals, she initially hadn’t noticed the difference between this winter break and the National Day or New Year holiday, mistakenly believing a brief rest would be followed by returning to school.

At the start of the break, she was immersed in the joyful home atmosphere and the delight of outings, temporarily sidelining thoughts of school.

But hearing her mom and grandma mention preschool brought a swift recall of her school memories.

Li Xiuxian gently shook her head, laughing: "No need to go to school tomorrow!"

"Eh? Still no school?"

Liu Yuanyuan’s eyes widened in surprise, then frowned slightly, puzzled: "It’s been many days off, why not go back to school?"
