It feels so good to make money!

In an era when monthly wages were generally only a few dozen yuan, Su Xiaonuan earned in a single day what an average person would earn in a year.

Tired but happy!

Business is better than expected.

In particular, the fact that several bureau chiefs served as waiters at Jiuya Restaurant inadvertently put a permanent safety notice on the restaurant.

After that, those thugs definitely won't dare to cause trouble.

Even those competitors who want to cause trouble can only be envious.

After counting the money, Su Xiaonuan washed her hands twice with soap.

Wash your hands first, then wash your hair and take a shower.

Without a hairdryer, she had to dry her hair with a towel and then sit on the balcony in the evening breeze until her hair was dry before she could go to sleep.

I sat in a recliner and closed my eyes to rest.

Suddenly, Dou Dou called out "Mommy." Thinking Dou Dou had woken up, she quickly peeked out and saw that it was just the child talking in his sleep.

DouDou rolled over, placed her little hands on GuoGuo, and continued to murmur in her sleep. "Wait for me, wait for me..."

Su Xiaonuan smiled, thinking to herself, "How adorable! She must have been having a dream where she, her mother, was in it."

Guoguo smacked her lips, opened her eyes abruptly, and pushed Doudou away with her little hand in disgust, muttering under her breath, "He doesn't even know he's lying on top of me. Honestly, he can't even sleep properly. He's my brother, and I have to take care of him."

DouDou suddenly opened her eyes from her sleep. "Who asked you to take care of me?"

"You," Guoguo scoffed. "You toss and turn in your sleep, and you're lying on top of me."

“Who’s on top of you? I’m on top of Mommy,” DouDou retorted indignantly.

"Where's Mom?" Guoguo rolled her eyes.

“Mom…” DouDou touched her head, “in my dream.”

"Look at you, all silly." Guoguo laughed.

"Don't laugh! Don't call me stupid!" DouDou blushed and raised her little fist.

"Want to fight?" Guoguo waved her fists. "You think I'm afraid of you?"

"What are you two doing?" Su Xiaonuan, who was hiding by the balcony door, couldn't stand it anymore and had to come out to stop the two little ones' fight.

Both children turned their gazes toward her.

"Mother."

DouDou and GuoGuo hugged Su XiaoNuan tightly as she sat on the edge of the bed.

"Go to sleep, and don't talk," she whispered. "You have school tomorrow, so hurry up and go to sleep!"

"Mommy, I miss you so much." Dou Dou nestled her head in her mother's arms, acting all cute. "Will you take us to school tomorrow?"

“Mom, Xiaoli misses you too. She said you’re her godmother?” Guoguo didn’t directly say that she missed her mother. “She kept asking me if her godmother would come to pick us up from school.”

"Mom, Xiaotian also said you're his godmother, so why do they both call you godmother?" Dou Dou tilted her head back, looking at Su Xiaonuan with confusion. "Are they your children too?"

"Of course not," Guoguo said disdainfully. "You and I are Mom's children, her biological children. Xiaotian and Xiaoli are just Mom's godson and goddaughter. They are not Mom's biological children. Don't you even understand this? And you still call yourself my brother. Don't say you're my brother at school anymore. It's embarrassing! I should be your brother."

“Mom, look at Guoguo, he never treats me like a brother…” Dou Dou pouted, tears streaming down her face. “He used to always talk to me and run around with me, but now he doesn’t repeat what I say and always says hurtful things.”

"It's okay, you're the older brother, be more magnanimous, don't hold it against your younger brother." She patted Dou Dou's little face, comforting him. "Think about it from the other side, having a younger brother as smart as Guo Guo, aren't you proud to be the older brother? If he were still like before, repeating what you said, wouldn't you be annoyed?"

"Hmm." Dou Dou nodded. "I don't like him repeating himself, but I also don't like him always complaining about me. Mom, you said that my brother and I should stick together and not let outsiders bully us, but now Guo Guo only plays with Xiao Tian and Xiao Li. He ignores me. I play by myself all the time."

No wonder DouDou speaks that Chu dialect; she was neglected during the day.

Although Dou Dou is the older brother, he is not as smart as Guo Guo.

Before, no one taught them, but since Su Xiaonuan started teaching them, Guoguo's performance has been getting better and better.

Previously, Dou Dou was somewhat annoyed by Guo Guo's tendency to repeat himself, but his brother's position remained unshaken. At least, wherever they went, Guo Guo was always his brother's little shadow. Now, the little shadow no longer needs his brother.

"Guoguo, is that so?" she asked, deliberately with a stern face.

"Mom, I was wrong, I won't do it again next time," Guoguo said softly, lowering her head.

"A good child is one who can admit their mistakes and correct them," she said, patting Guoguo's head. "Remember what Mommy said: no matter where you are, you and your brother must stick together and help each other, both in your studies and in life, understand?"

"Mom, I understand." Guoguo reached out and took Doudou's hand. "I won't dislike you anymore. You're the older brother, and I'll listen to you from now on. I won't leave you behind to play with other kids."

"Yes, I won't abandon you either." Dou Dou immediately cheered up and shook hands with Guo Guo to make up.

Then, the two children held hands and fell asleep on the bed.

Looking at the two adorable smiling faces, Su Xiaonuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Wow, raising two little brats is so complicated.

These two little ones actually have their own little thoughts. No wonder Dou Dou can't sleep well and is still looking for her mother in her sleep. It turns out she was treated unfairly during the day.

It seems that wherever there are people, there is a world of its own, and everyone, regardless of age or gender, has their own world of its own.
