"I've thought it over and decided not to go. The children are too young, I can't bear to leave them. After the New Year, when they're a bit older, I'll take Lele and Yangyang with me."
Ms. Wang was quite pleased to hear she wasn't going, and neither were the children. She really adored those two little grandchildren—one so tender and quiet, it tugged at the heartstrings, and the other's laughter so sweet it could melt a heart. Yet, before she could revel in the joy for long, she heard Yang Chuxia say she would take the children with her after the New Year, and Ms. Wang's mood soured.
"Ah, after the New Year, you and Lele and Yangyang are all going to Mianyang?" Ms. Wang hesitated, then suggested, "Why don't you leave the children at home? I can take care of them for you."
She truly couldn't bear to part with her two grandchildren!
