Until Sister Chen finished preparing breakfast and tidying up, Gu Wanqing came out and called to the two of them, "Time to eat."
Only then did the two reluctantly put away their things, with Han Jingchen looking quite proud.
Su Jingsong, watching from the side, was visibly excited and gave Xinyan a thumbs up, "Itās a pity if you donāt join the army with those skills."
Xinyan felt a bit embarrassed and said, "Itās not as great as Uncle Su says, Iāve just kept practicing to stay calm in emergencies and keep fit."
While washing his hands, Han Jingchen laughed and said, "Alright, donāt be modest, youāve indeed improved a lot. If you really joined the army, they would definitely be eager to have you."
At this moment, Gu Wanqing walked over and handed a towel to Han Jingchen, "As girls, we donāt need to endure such hardships. Donāt encourage her, let her focus on school. Itāll be beneficial wherever she works in the future."
Xinyan glanced at her father getting criticized, made faces at him but didnāt speak up. When Gu Wanqing attempted to pull her in to speak, she smiled and ran off, "Iāll go check on whether Granny Zhang is ready."
Seeing this, Han Jingchen hastily said to Gu Wanqing, "Come, come, come, letās see what delicious food Sister Chen has prepared for us this morning?"
Gu Wanqing wanted to say something more, but Han Jingchen ushered her to the dining room, so she had to give up.
Granny Zhang has been recovering well recently. These past few days, when thereās nothing to do, Sister Chen often accompanies her for walks around the area.
Xinyan helped her out, "Granny Zhang, after breakfast, Iāll accompany you for a walk."
Granny Zhang smiled, "That sounds wonderful."
Thinking that her health is almost fully recovered, "Yanyan, when you return to school next week, Iāll go back to the cottage with you."
Xinyan looked over, "Donāt you want to rest a few more days?"
Granny Zhang lightly brushed off imaginary dust from her clothes and pulled at the hem, "Iāve long recovered. If it werenāt for your parents insisting I rest longer, I would have wanted to go with you to the cottage sooner."
Then, she laughed and said, "Mainly, I miss Grandma Tong."
Xinyan beamed, "Alright, if you want to return to the cottage, weāll go back. Grandma Tong misses you too; she has asked about you several times."
Their conversation was overheard by Sister Chen, who was bringing over breakfast, "Aunt Zhang, if you return over there, itāll take me some time to adjust. Now thereās no one to chat with."
Granny Zhang laughed, "Weāll come back to visit you with Yanyan on the weekends."
Sister Chen, hearing this, said, "Iāll hold you to that. You must come back."
Gu Wanqing and Han Jingchen happened to hear this and both said in unison, "Aunt Zhang, wonāt you rest a while longer?"
Granny Zhang looked at them with a smile, "I can rest at the cottage too."
Han Jingchen saw that Granny Zhang had made up her mind and knew she felt more at ease than at the cottage, so he agreed.
Gu Wanqing knew that Granny Zhang was worried about Xinyan being there alone. Ever since she learned that without Granny Zhang, Xinyan might not have been able to attend school, she truly regarded Granny Zhang as one of her own elders.
So, as long as it doesnāt affect Granny Zhangās health, sheās pleased if Granny Zhang is happy.
After the meal, Xinyan received a call from Lin Kaixin, "Hey, Kaixin, callingāwhatās up?"
Lin Kaixin looked at the sales data in his hand, "Xinyan, this monthās sales data is out, and itās indeed very inspiring."
Xinyan had already predicted that.
After all, it wasnāt just one girl in the dorm who bought those styles of clothes back at the department store.
