"Yes, and An An, An An also went with us. I gave her a lychee-flavored lollipop, and she liked it very much."

Caius, who adapts to local customs, has long learned the essence of going to the market. He can always go wrong by following the old men and women to buy things.

The vegetables I buy are fresh, the fruits I buy are sweet, I am experienced and have never made any mistakes.

Today, he suffered a disastrous defeat because an old man "forced" him to buy a lot of date cakes.

The old man said at first that he would cut a very small piece, but then he cut it with his knife and it turned out to be a really big piece...

Then……

Forget it, let’s not talk about this.

All in all, he got a lot of date cakes.

Fortunately, the child at home likes to eat this very much, which can make up for his suddenly decreased IQ.

However, there are still a lot left, the ones that Li Qiao saw, really a lot.

Will it become stale if left overnight?

"Mother!"

"Ah? What's wrong?" Li Qiao realized belatedly that he had been distracted because of these date cakes.

cough……

"What does Cub want to say?"

Little Li Yao on the other side hesitated for a moment, glancing at Li Qiao across the screen, "Mom, I want to go to the haunted house, is that okay?"

"Haunted house?"

“Playground project!”

"Why would you want to go there? Aren't you afraid of having nightmares?"

"No." The little guy puffed out his chest, "An An isn't afraid, and I'm not afraid either."

Oh, it turned out that it was An An who told him.

"Okay, go if you want to, but if you cry, mom won't comfort you." Li Qiao teased him with a smile.

"I won't cry!" Little Li Yao disagreed with this statement. He was a big boy, and only children would cry.

"Kid! What are you doing?"

It’s my brother!

"Ah! Brother!"

The little guy raised his voice, "I'm talking to my mom on the phone!"

Li Yao came over and saw Li Qiao on the screen. "Mom, have you dealt with your issues?"

He was silent for a moment, then asked, "Is Uncle Yao Mo okay?"

In fact, what he wanted to ask most was, when will you come back?

"Uncle Yao Mo is fine now. Mom will be back soon. By the way, I'm going to bring you some local specialties. The cheese sticks here are delicious."

"Oh." Actually, no need. He didn't like that thing very much. It stuck to his teeth, but he said, "Thank you. I think I will like it."

What a hypocritical child.

"Oh my goodness, kids, I think we need to get rid of this stuff."

Caius' voice suddenly sounded, and it was getting closer and closer. When he saw two children huddled together in front of the mobile phone screen, he stopped in his tracks.

Look, those two little guys are talking on the phone.

He gestured to them, meaning: Didn't we agree to make the phone call together? Why didn't you keep your promise?

Li Yao turned his face away, not wanting to watch his funny hand gestures. And little Li Yao's eyes were wandering, looking at the sky and the ground but not at him.

He didn't mean to do it, it's just that his fingers have their own thoughts... and he really missed his mother.

Caius crossed his arms over his chest, remained silent for a moment, then walked over and gave a gentle smile, "Hi, hello! Did you have fun? I'm very competent, nothing happened." The report was completed.

"That's great." Li Qiao said with a smile, "I don't have anything else to do here, so I'll be back soon."

"We'll pick you up."

"Oh, although I really hope so, that's not necessary," she explained. "I have to go to the office first."

"By the way, it seems like you haven't been to work for a long time?"

Hearing this, Caius's mouth stiffened. Oh, yes, he hadn't been to work for a long time.

"I...will go."

Pray there is still a place for him in that company.

Li Qiao asked casually, without any other intention. Noticing that he was a little nervous and confused, he guessed he was worried about losing his job, so he simply stopped asking and changed the subject, "What did you say you wanted to get rid of? Those date cakes?"

Caius slapped his head, "Oh, yes!"

He turned to look at the annoying date cakes on the table. "I'm going to give them to the neighbors. Will they like them?"

"Of course, I think so." Li Qiao thought for a moment, "I remember Grandma Mu Mu liked it very much."

"Great." Caius' eyes lit up. "They will go where they are supposed to go, I promise."

He was about to leave with a large plate of date cakes on the table, waving goodbye to Li Qiao, "I think I need to go over now, otherwise it's too late and everyone will be asleep."

Li Qiao looked at his back, not understanding why he was so excited just because he was giving his neighbor a few date cakes.

Unable to understand, I subconsciously muttered to myself: "Okay, as long as you are happy."

In fact, they had already called Li Qiao in the morning. An An was there at that time. The little girl had changed a lot and there were not so many thorns on her body anymore.

It seemed as if she knew in her heart that Li Qiao was her blood relative, so she had an unconscious feeling of admiration for him.

Ever since she had a child, Li Qiao had always been more patient with them. Of course, she loved little girls.

An An likes her very much too.

But Caius still sent the reluctant little girl away.

Although An An's mother is not at home, she has a live-in nanny at home, so it is not convenient for her to stay here.

The main reason was that Caius had no experience in taking care of little girls, and he didn't know where to arrange her to sleep, so forget it.

They were still on the phone, chatting idly. Caius hadn't come back yet. Little Li Yao, who was holding the phone, suddenly handed it to his brother and whispered, "Mom, I need to go pee."

After saying that, he ran away, leaving Li Yao staring blankly at the phone in his hand, somewhat unable to react.

Li Qiao chuckled and asked, "What have you done these past two days, little one?"

"Nothing... nothing, actually it's still the same, playing with modeling."

"It seems like you really like this. Do you want mom to hire a teacher for you?"

"No!"

"Well, I mean, not for now."

Li Yao explained, "If I had a teacher, I'd be very nervous and worried I wouldn't be able to learn well. So... let's wait a few years."

"Of course, don't be so scared, baby. Mommy will listen to your advice."

Hearing her say this, Li Yao silently breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

I don't know why I'm so repulsed by so-called teachers, but I just feel repulsed...

That's strange.

Wait, he suddenly remembered something.

"mom?"

"Hmm?" Look at this little face, why is it so serious?

Li Qiao pricked up his ears to listen, but the little guy didn't say anything. He paused for about five seconds before speaking.

Said a sentence...

Very strange words.
