Little Tietou is already a fifth-grade student in the new semester. The eleven-year-old is a bit shorter and about the same size as the tall Ranran.
Ranran is over nine years old and a third-year student.
Yangyang is only seven years old and has not yet been arranged to go to elementary school. However, considering that he does not have preschool education, Xue Ling sent him to a nearby kindergarten to attend the upper class.
He didn't want to go at first, but his brother went to school, and apart from the four old people, there were only two little ones at home. At first, he didn't feel bored, but as the days got longer, he couldn't stand it anymore.
Xue Ling sent him to a senior kindergarten. The classes were not long every day. He entered the kindergarten at nine in the morning and left at four in the afternoon.
There is only one hour of class in the morning. The rest of the time is for children to play and have a meal in the garden at noon.
"The food tastes terrible!" Yangyang muttered, "But the children are pretty good. They all like to play with me and listen to me tell them stories."
"Hey!" Liu Ying asked with a smile: "Do you still tell stories to others? What are you telling them?"
Yangyang replied proudly: "Tell me a story about when I went out to play!"
Ran Ran was doing his homework, and he raised his head and teased: "What are you telling a story about? It's obviously bragging!"
"You're just bragging!" Yang Yang rolled his eyes and said, "I tell stories all, and the children love them! They all said they would recognize me as their eldest brother!"
"Oh." Ranran raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Then I am the eldest brother of their 'big brother'!"
Everyone laughed.
As soon as Cheng Tianyuan arrived at the door, he heard laughter filling the room.
He comes in.
The two sons hurriedly shouted: "Dad!"
He smiled and nodded, saying hello to the elderly. Seeing Xiao Chong and Xiao Xin crawling towards him, he hurriedly changed his shoes and went to the kitchen to wash his hands.
"Daddy! Daddy"!
"Daddy!"
The two little ones rushed over, hugged each other by the thigh, and then stood up, looking at Cheng Tianyuan with their little faces raised.
Dad's heart was instantly turned into adorable, and he hurriedly knelt down and picked one up with one arm.
Xiaoxin giggled and babbling.
Xiao Chong turned his head and looked around.
Dad Xue said with a smile: "This is how dad is treated. As soon as he comes home, the children gather around him. Fortunately, the age difference is quite big, otherwise there might have been a fight."
"We really had a fight!" Cheng Muhai explained: "A while ago, Xiaoxin and Xiao Chong were competing for their father. They slapped each other back and forth, but they just didn't make me laugh out loud!"
"Oh! That must be fun!" Xue's mother laughed.
Cheng Tianyuan hugged one on the left and one on the right, with a fatherly smile on his face.
"They are the same size, so there will definitely be a greater chance of them fighting over each other in the future."
Ranran couldn't help but feel jealous, and asked with a sour tone: "Dad, when Yangyang and I were so young, did you hug us?"
Cheng Tianyuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you think?"
Several old people laughed.
Father Xue said: "I am held in my arms by your father every day. Even when I come to the Imperial Capital, I hold you with me."
Ranran chuckled.
Yang Yang on the side also raised his head and asked: "What about me?"
"Then you still need to ask?!" Liu Ying said amusedly: "Before my brother and sister were born, you were the one who hugged me the most. Your brother may have hugged me less than you!"
Cheng Tianyuan glanced at the two brothers and asked, "Have you finished your homework? After you finish, take your grandparents downstairs for a walk!"
"Only a little bit." Ran Ran lowered his head and continued.
Liu Yingdao: "The weather is neither cold nor hot, why not take Xiaoxin and Xiao Chong down with us!"
"Okay!" Cheng Tianyuan agreed, "Give them some water and then take them down."
So, the younger brother and younger sister drank water, and the elder brother did his homework.
Then the four old men and their four children went downstairs.
Cheng Tianyuan went into the kitchen to help with the cooking.
Zhu Achun was busy making sweet-scented osmanthus cake and couldn't help but ask: "Sir, there is a little bit of meat tonight. Why don't you slice and fry the mutton you bought yesterday?"
"Okay." Cheng Tianyuan thought for a while and then said, "No! I'll cut it into small pieces and bake it."
Zhu Achun asked in surprise: "Bake? What to bake with?"
Cheng Tianyuan explained: "We bought a small oven before, which was made of bricks and was located in the innermost cabinet under the kitchen."
Zhu Achun was a little embarrassed and whispered: "Sir, we don't have charcoal fire or alcohol at home, so I'm afraid we can't bake."
"Oh...then slice it into slices and fry it first." Cheng Tianyuan explained: "And add some pepper and chili pepper to remove the smell."
"Okay." Zhu Achun quickly made the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and said, "I'll make it later."
Cheng Tianyuan had already moved out the chopping board and started tinkering quickly.
"Sister Achun, when I passed by your window just now, I seemed to smell a medicinal smell. What's wrong? Who is feeling uncomfortable?"
Zhu Achun smiled and shook his head: "Little Tietou got a little angry, so I asked him to buy some herbal tea to boil. The herbal tea made by southerners is a bit bitter and sometimes smells like medicine. But in this weather, it is easy to get dry and angry, so drink it
Some herbal tea would be nice.”
Cheng Tianyuan seemed to remember something and asked: "Where did you buy the little iron head? My wife got up in the morning and said she was a little angry, so I had to buy some to boil, and then everyone drank a small bowl."
Zhu Achun chuckled: "You have chrysanthemums at home, why not boil some chrysanthemums and add some honey. Many children can't drink herbal tea because the bitter taste is too strong."
"Are there chrysanthemums?" Cheng Tianyuan said, "Let's boil some for a drink first. If it's not enough, we can buy herbal tea later."
Zhu Achun explained: "When dinner is ready, I will cook it and drink it later."
At this time, the voices of Zheng Sanyuan and Xue Ling came from outside.
Zhu Achun hurriedly turned his head.
I saw Xue Ling and Zheng Sanyuan walking in, talking and laughing.
Zheng Sanyuan hurriedly greeted Zhu Achun and said with a smile: "I brought a few packs of squid from the beach for everyone. I also brought a pack for you mother and son. There is also a big bag of oranges given by a friend. Let's share it. Remember to give it to us.
Xiao Tietou brings a few."
Zhu Achun's face turned slightly red and he whispered: "Why are you so embarrassed..."
"Don't be polite." Zheng Sanyuan said: "Last time I was in a hurry to catch the bus. Fortunately, you gave me two rice dumplings and pastries, otherwise I would have been hungry on the way. Even if the bus could stop at night, there would be nothing good to eat on the street."
Zhu Achun smiled, "As long as you don't mind it. Thank you for the oranges!"
Zheng Sanyuan also smiled happily and then greeted A Yuan.
"Today is the weekend. The children will go home after making up classes. Xiaoyi has returned today, and Datong should have returned as well."
Xue Ling couldn't help but ask: "When will Datong graduate?"
Zheng Sanyuan explained: "I was supposed to graduate this year, but unfortunately I took a year off, so I have to wait until next summer to graduate. He said that internships can be arranged after the new year."
Xue Ling poured two glasses of water and handed one to Zheng Sanyuan.
"What is his major? Where does he plan to find a job?"
Zheng Sanyuan replied: "He is a news media major. I suggested that he go to a newspaper to be a reporter, but he said no, and planned to go to a TV station to find one. I told him that A Fang is working in a TV station now, and I would like to find an opportunity to come over and talk about the job prospects.
Yes, then let him choose."
Xue Ling smiled and raised his thumb.
"Datong has a good vision! It seems that the salary from the newspaper is good now, but in the future - the TV station will definitely be better!"
Zheng Sanyuan believed in Xue Ling's vision the most and said: "If Lingling said it is good, it must be good. After the New Year, let him look for it first. If there is some lack of heat, then ask friends for help."
"Okay!" Xue Ling nodded: "Let's talk about it then, there are still many months!"
