"The story of your parents..." Su Jianan thought about the storyline of Mu Sijue and Xu Youning, with a smile on her lips, but her tone was full of sighs, "If we want to start from the beginning, it will take a long time.
It’s over.”
Niannian blinked: "Is that why dad doesn't want to tell me...?"
"Of course not, why wouldn't your father not want to spend time on you?" Su Jianan touched the little guy's head and said softly, "It's because adults' love stories are generally very complicated, and you are still young and can't understand it.
When you grow up, your parents will definitely tell you."
"..." Niannian was very curious about the story of his parents and asked Mu Sijue many times, but he was rejected by Mu Sijue as many times as he asked, so he was dubious about Su Jianan's words, "Aunt Jianan, is it true?
?”
Su Jianan seemed to have seen through the future and nodded firmly: "Really."
A smile broke out on Niannian's cute little face, as if she felt she could finally feel relieved.
"Okay, let's get back to business." Su Jianan looked at Niannian with gentle eyes, "You know that sentence is just to scare you, and I believe your father, but why do you still want to find a grandma to take care of you?
And you?"
"Because... because... Aunt Jian An, have you ever heard... you can't take risks?! Well, yes, it's 'can't take risks' - I heard it said when dad and Uncle Dongzi chatted."
"Can't take risks" was certainly not the original words of Mu Sijue and Dongzi, but Niannian was very sure that this was what they wanted to express.
In the past, when Su Jianan knew nothing about shopping malls, she might not have been able to guess what Mu Sijue and Dongzi talked about, but now, she can guess pretty well.
"Did your father and Uncle Dongzi talk about 'risk aversion' or something like that?" Su Jian'an asked tentatively.
"...Hmm!" Niannian's dark eyes lit up and she looked at Su Jian'an with admiration, "Aunt Jian An, you are so awesome! How did you know?"
Su Jianan found that the little guy's admiration was very useful to her and she felt a great sense of accomplishment!
She finally understood why Lu Boyan said that the two little guys were his biggest motivation when Xi Yu and Xiang Yi expressed their admiration and liking for Lu Boyan.
She pretended to be mysterious, and after arousing Nian Nian's curiosity, she said: "Because I am powerful, I know it!"
"..." Niannian was stunned for a moment by Su Jianan, and nodded in understanding.
Su Jian'an smiled even more happily when she saw the little guy's confused and cute look.
Having said that, a child at such a young age knows how to avoid risks. If he is willing to inherit Mu Sijue's company in the future, he will definitely be better than his predecessors, right?
Su Jianan realized that she was thinking too far, and hurriedly refocused on the key points, and asked: "Nian Nian, since you trust your father and know what kind of person to look for to take care of you to avoid risks, then what are you asking me for...?
"
The little guy was thinking things through by herself, and it seemed like... there was nothing left to ask her...
Su Jianan suddenly had a feeling - for a child as independent-minded as Niannian, she seemed...not able to give him good advice on anything.
Niannian's face showed a little bit of embarrassment, and he said hesitantly: "I... don't know how to tell my father that I want to find a grandma to take care of me..."
"Just say it." Su Jian'an reassured the little guy, "Such a simple request - in fact, it's not even a request, your father will definitely satisfy you!"
The little guy's two rows of mini-fan-like eyelashes fluttered twice, with a harmless and innocent look on his face: "What if my dad asks why?" He felt like he couldn't tell the truth...
Failure to tell the truth means lying.
The little guy was actually upset because he had to lie.
"..." Su Jianan pondered for a moment, then asked the little guy two questions one after another, "Do you like Grandma Zhou and Grandma Tang? Why?"
"I like it, I like it very much!" The little guy nodded without thinking, and the reason came out of his mouth, "Because Grandma Zhou and Grandma Tang are good to me and love me very much!"
"Well..." Su Jian'an said, "Then I think if you find another grandma to take care of you, she will love you as much as Grandma Zhou and Grandma Tang..."
After being stunned for two seconds, Niannian immediately realized Su Jianan's hint and jumped excitedly: "I know, I know!"
Su Jianan's mood was infected by the little guy's excitement, and the corners of her lips also rose, saying, "Don't worry, go back and play with your brothers and sisters."
She kissed Su Jian'an forcefully with a "baa chi" sound, and ran back to find Xi Yu and Xiangyi.
Su Jianan looked at the little guy's bouncing back, with a hint of heaviness hidden under his smile.
Nian Nian always looks lively and lovable no matter how she looks, she is no different from other children of the same age.
Who would have thought that the little guy's psychology is actually much more mature than that of children of the same age? This kind of maturity is not innate, but is all affected by the growth environment and external factors.
Su Jianan was not sure whether this kind of maturity, which was one step ahead of other children of the same age, was a good thing or a bad thing for Niannian.
…
The sun is gradually sinking as if it is tired, the light on the ground is getting weaker and weaker, and the sunset on the horizon shows a golden warmth.
The outdoor temperature was suitable. Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue took the children to the garden outside. Su Yicheng and Su Jianan prepared dinner, and the two elderly people drank tea and rested.
All the scenes seem to have the warmth and plainness of everyday life.
Xi Yu pulled Lu Boyan to the edge of the swimming pool, looked at the pool, and then looked at Lu Boyan expectantly: "Dad, can I learn to swim in the summer?"
"Of course." Lu Boyan gave the little guy a definite answer without thinking. In fact, even if the little guy didn't mention it, he still wanted to arrange for the little guy to learn swimming as soon as summer arrived.
Xi Yu jumped for a moment and asked Lu Boyan excitedly when he would hire a teacher for him, but Lu Boyan said there was no need to hire him.
The little guy was startled for a moment and tilted his head: "But... I can't learn what to do on my own...?"
Lu Boyan said calmly: "I'll teach you."
The little guy's eyes suddenly shined: "Dad, is it true?"
Of course, the little guy would rather learn from Lu Boyan than hire a teacher.
However, the understanding that "Dad is very busy" has been deeply implanted in the minds of the little guys, so Xi Yu never thought of asking Lu Boyan to teach him how to swim. It is also for this reason that at this moment, the look on the little guy's face
The surprise and expectation could not be concealed at all, they were completely displayed, and the usually calm little face seemed to be shining with some strange brilliance.
Lu Boyan pinched the little guy's face as if he wanted to make him feel the reality, and said, "It's true."
Xi Yu jumped up, and Lu Boyan took the little guy into his arms, and the little guy also kissed him.
After a while, Xi Yu suddenly remembered something and asked, "Dad, can my sister learn to swim with us?"
Xiangyi has congenital asthma, and running and jumping every few times makes adults nervous. Swimming seems to be a more dangerous and untouchable sport for her. But whether it is dangerous or not, Lu Boyan cannot answer.
Lu Boyan could only say: "I'll call the doctor tomorrow."
Xi Yu nodded, and after a moment, he said seriously: "Dad, I will protect my sister."
Lu Boyan looked at the little guy, smiled, and kissed the little guy's forehead.
Xi Yu seemed to think it was not enough, so he emphasized again: "Forever!"
Lu Boyan has always dared not give hope to the little guy easily, but at this moment, he still said: "The doctor may be able to find a way to cure my sister. There is a certain possibility that my sister will get better."
"...Then I will protect my sister for the rest of my life!" Xi Yu was still very serious, "Because I am an elder brother, and the elder brother must protect his sister."
Lu Boyan raised his eyebrows: "Who told you this?"
The little guy confessed to Luo Xiaoxi without hesitation: "Auntie!"
Lu Boyan: "...Listen to your aunt more in the future."
Xi Yu blinked his eyes. Although he didn't quite understand why his father suddenly said this, he still agreed obediently and then said that he would go and play with Niannian and Nuonuo.
Lu Boyan put down the little guy: "Go."
As soon as Xi Yu's feet touched the ground, he immediately started running, running straight in the direction of his friends, and loudly announced the good news: "Dad...my dad will teach us how to swim in the summer!"
In the summer of previous years, the little ones could only play in the shallow water with swimming rings. They were full of envy for their father who swam freely in the deep water. They kept clamoring to learn swimming, but were rejected by cautious mothers. The mother did not agree.
, they knew it was useless to look for their father, so they had no choice but to play in the shallow water unwillingly.
Therefore, what Xiyu brought back can be said to be good news that Niannian and Nuonuo were very excited about.
Nian Nian and Nuonuo jumped up in unison and couldn't wait to confirm: "Is it true?"
"Yeah!" Xi Yu nodded, his eyes still shining with excitement, "What my dad just said!"
Several little ones cheered in unison, even happier than when they were children when they got candy.
Xiangyi looked at the happy expressions of his brothers and asked weakly: "Brother, can I learn to swim?"
The little guys have done a lot of things together since they were little. If possible, Xiangyi would definitely like to learn swimming with her brothers.
Xiyu and Nuonuo looked at Xiangyi, their expressions dimmed, and they remained silent.
Niannian often forgets about Xiangyi's poor health, and jumps over to hold Xiangyi's hand and says, "Of course you can, why not?"
Xiangyi still looked at Xi Yu, waiting for his brother's answer.
Xi Yu pursed his lips, walked up to Xiangyi, and said slowly, "Dad said he would have to ask the doctor and uncle to find out."
The expected answer was that Xiangyi said "Oh", but he couldn't tell whether she was sad or not. He could only see her little head slowly hanging down.
Nian Nian finally remembered Xiang Yi's poor health, furrowed her brows, and seemed to be lost in thought...
