Chapter 18 Thank you to the little angels for the nutrient solution (Second update today) ...

"Big brother, is this your kitten?"

"Um."

"What is its name?"

“Afu.”

"Afu is so pretty! Is it a girl too?"

"I think so."

"Great! We're all girls with white hair and blue eyes, we're all pretty girls."

An Fusheng squatted down and ruffled Wen Xingmou's hair. "Yes, pretty girls."

"Hehe." Wen Xingmou chuckled, shrinking her neck.

After lunch, the children did their homework or took a nap, but An Shisi and Wen Xingmou neither did homework nor wanted to take a nap. They followed An Fusheng wherever he went.

An Fusheng went to Wen Min's office, and the two of them sat at the bottom of the stairs with Afu in their arms, waiting.

Anfusheng came out to pick up Afu, and the two of them surrounded him, chattering away with questions.

An Fusheng, carrying his own 'duffel bag' in one hand and holding Afu in the other, asked, "Do you know where my room is?"

"I know!"

"I have a few too!"

The welfare home is a three-story villa. Half of the first floor is an open space, and the other half is a dining room and kitchen. The second floor has offices and various activity rooms, and the third floor is the living area.

The two children scrambled and ran towards the third floor.

An Fusheng called out from behind, "Slow down, don't fall."

The stairs in the welfare home were spacious, and the steps were shorter than those of ordinary stairs. An Shisi, with his short legs, ran ahead, taking one step at a time.

Wen Xingmou was not as fast as An Shisi. She was anxious and crawled on her hands and feet, coughing all the while. An Fusheng couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he picked her up and tucked her under his arm, taking her upstairs.

An Shisi ran to the door of the rightmost room on the third floor, pushed it open, and panted as if to take credit, said to An Fusheng, "Big brother, this is your room."

Upon reaching the doorway, An Fusheng put Wen Xingmou down and said to An Shisi, "Thank you, Shisi."

The room was empty; all of the original owner's belongings had been moved out. There was only a single bed, a wardrobe, and a desk inside.

"Big brother, do you like your room?" An Shisi asked expectantly.

Once, when An Shisi came to his elder brother's room to call him for dinner, he saw the shadows of the leaves dancing on his brother's desk, and he loved it.

“I quite like it,” An Fusheng said, “but I preferred my old room.”

"Your old room?" An Shisi asked. "Wasn't it this one too?"

"No, it's another one. It's a stilted house made of wood. My room is on the second floor. It makes a thumping sound when you walk on it."

"Will there be dancing leaves?" An Shisi asked.

An Fusheng thought for a moment and said, "Yes, in spring, pear blossoms will also dance through the window."

"Pear blossoms?" An Shisi's eyes lit up.

"Yes, it's white and very pretty. Sometimes it even attracts beautiful butterflies, but the pears it bears don't taste good; they're astringent and hard."

“Wow, I like pear blossoms too,” Wen Xingmou said.

"Have you seen it before? Just say you like it." An Fusheng rubbed Wen Xingmou's head again.

Wen Xingmou didn't care that her hair was messed up like a little bird's nest, and said happily, "I like pretty flowers the most."

“I like it very much too,” An Fusheng said. “If only we could go back, I could take you to my house to see the pear blossoms. My family’s pear tree is very big and it will bloom with lots and lots of flowers. Also, my grandma is a very good cook.”

An Shisi asked, "Can't we go back?"

An Fusheng: "Yeah, we can't go back."

An Shisi: "Why?"

An Fusheng: "Because it's very far."

An Shisi: "We can take an airplane."

An Fusheng: "Even airplanes can't reach it."

An Shisi: "Huh? What should we do then?"

After hesitating for a moment, An Fusheng said, "Then let's do it here. I'm all grown up now, I can plant trees myself, and I'm a good cook too."

“Yes, I love my older brother’s cooking the most,” Wen Xingmou said.

An Fusheng: "I'll make lots of delicious food for you all in the future."

"Yay!" Wen Xingmou jumped up excitedly.

The room hadn't been lived in for months, and everything was covered in a thin layer of dust.

An Fusheng planned to clean first, and he entrusted Afu to the two children: "Can you help me take care of Afu? I need to clean."

"Can."

Okay.

An Fusheng found the cleaning tools in the laundry room on the far left of the second floor.

He first gave it a quick sweep, then carefully wiped all the furniture.

Finding a clean quilt in the closet, An Fusheng spread it out on the bed.

With everything settled, An Fusheng felt a sense of relief and finally settled down on the bed, spreading his arms wide: "Comfortable!"

The two children and the cat looked at An Fusheng, who was lying on the bed looking quite content, and pounced onto his bed as well.

“No!” An Fusheng and Er Kang refused, then stared at them and said coldly, “You should go take a nap.”

An Shisi: "Didn't you just say that if you don't want to sleep, you don't have to sleep?"

An Fusheng, who regretted his actions after using her, said, "That was just now, now it's time to sleep."

Wen Xingmou: "But I still want to play with Afu."

An Fusheng: "I'll play after I wake up."

The two children were sent back to their own rooms.

Lying on the bed, Wen Xingmou still asked, unwilling to give up, "Can I sleep with my older brother and Afu?"

An Fusheng: "Boys and girls shouldn't sleep together."

Wen Xingmou asked expectantly, "Since Afu and I are both girls, can we sleep together?"

An Fusheng: "...We're different species, so we can't sleep together."

"Alright then..." Wen Xingmou obediently pulled her blanket over herself.

After putting the two children to bed, An Fusheng returned to his own room. As Afu was trying to climb onto the bed, An Fusheng pulled away Afu's cat paws that were barely gripping the sheets: "You're not allowed on my bed!"

Afu didn't understand the threat, but continued to climb up on tiptoe and with outstretched claws. Anfusheng folded the bed sheet, so no matter how Afu reached out and grabbed, he couldn't catch it.

"Hehe, short legs, can't get up there," An Fusheng said smugly.

Afu meowed.

An Fusheng comfortably lay down on his bed.

...

I woke up feeling completely refreshed.

Afu was sunbathing by the window when Anfusheng tiptoed out of the room.

An Fusheng wandered around the third floor. Bai Miaomiao was doing her homework, Wen Xinghe was playing with beads, and the other children were nowhere to be seen.

An Fusheng staggered downstairs again, and sure enough, the children gathered again on the ground floor.

"Hey, don't move!"

"Quickly, hold down his leg!"

"Fourteenth Brother, please help me! I... I can't hold on much longer!"

"What's going on?" An Fusheng approached the children who were gathered together, only to see Wen Xingrui lying sprawled on the ground, howling in pain. "Are you slaughtering a pig?"

"Big brother, come help us quickly!" Bai Mangmang gasped for breath.

An Fusheng asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Mangmang: "Xingrui wet his pants, and they won't change his pants or take off his diaper."

An Fusheng looked at Wen Xingrui and saw a large, swollen lump between Wen Xingrui's kicking legs.

"Let him go, let me handle this." An Fusheng rolled up his sleeves with a serious expression, grinning maliciously as he stretched out his large claws toward Wen Xingrui.

After being released, Wen Xingrui nimbly rolled over and swam away like a little fish, but An Fusheng slapped his back with his big hand: "Where do you want to go? Hmm?"

After struggling to move for a while without success, Wen Xingrui was puzzled for a moment and turned to look at An Fusheng.

An Fusheng raised an eyebrow and looked at him smugly.

Wen Xingrui: "Hehe!"

An Fusheng:......

After playing with him for a while, An Fusheng tucked Wen Xingrui into his arms, with his buttocks facing outwards, and effortlessly pulled down his pants with one hand.

An Shisi and Wen Xingmou immediately grabbed one of the kicking legs each.

Bai Mangmang quickly pulled off Wen Xingrui's diaper bag.

Wen Xinglin smoothly took the dirty pants from An Fusheng's hand and placed a new diaper in his hand.

Everything was planned perfectly, but...

An Fusheng grabbed the soft, thick lump in his hand: "This... how do we do it?"

"I will." Bai Mangmang took the diaper, opened it, and quickly put it on Wen Xingrui.

An Fusheng then put his pants back on.

Done!

"Big brother, is Xingrui wearing his pants inside out?" Wen Xinglin asked.

"No, right?" An Fusheng grabbed Wen Xingrui by the armpits with both hands, hoisted Wen Xingrui into the air, and swung him back and forth. He looked him over again and again, but couldn't see anything unusual. "They're all the same, there shouldn't be a difference between front and back, right?"

Wen Xinglin just felt that Wen Xingrui's pants looked a little strange, but he wasn't really sure. Since his older brother said there was no problem, then there was no problem.

After changing his pants, Wen Xingrui escaped the clutches of evil and became a free and happy little fish again.

The weather was still hot in the afternoon, but the open-air area had a convective breeze, making it very cool.

An Fusheng sat comfortably in his chair, while Bai Mangmang and Wen Xinglin each sat on a small stool next to him, doing their homework.

An Shisi and Wen Xingmou played hide-and-seek, one in front of the other, separated by the human wall they had formed.

Wen Xingrui found it fun and joined in, climbing around them with great enthusiasm.

"Big brother, will you be working here from now on?" Bai Mangmang asked.

An Fusheng: "Mm."

Bai Mangmang: "Then will you still sell wolf tooth potatoes?"

An Fusheng: "I probably won't go."

"Ah..." Bai Mangmang let out a disappointed wail.

Wen Xinglin, who had been listening intently to their conversation, also felt a deep sense of regret.

"What's wrong?" An Fusheng asked.

"We also want to buy wolf tooth potatoes," Bai Mangmang said. "I wonder if that old lady makes them well."

An Fusheng: "It's delicious too, but I can make it for you."

Wen Xinglin said, "But we didn't make a big cart for wolf tooth potatoes."

An Fusheng: "That's just for setting up a stall. You don't need it if you're making it at home. It's very simple."

Wen Xinglin: "Really?"

An Fusheng: "Of course, it can be done tonight."

Bai Mangmang: "Wow, we can have wolf tooth potatoes tonight!"

The children cheered.

Wen Xingrui, not understanding why, also joined in the silly laughter.

"Is the market far? Shall we go buy some groceries?" An Fusheng said.

Bai Mangmang had been to the vegetable market and immediately said, "It's not far, not even as far as our school."

"Let's go buy groceries then."

"Should I go too?" Bai Mangmang asked.

"Yes, because I need you to show me the way."

Wen Xinglin: "I know the way too."

An Shisi: "I want to go too."

An Fusheng: "Then let's all go together."

So a large group of people set off for the vegetable market.
