Erwa and the others returned home after they had been outside for a while, and there were no more guests at the house.

"Brother, want to play together for a while?" the third brother invited.

"OK."

The two brothers wanted to play on the Little Tyrant game console.

In fact, Zhao Qinglan also bought an even more expensive original Nintendo game console.

However, the people around Erwa and Sanwa all played with the Little Tyrant (a popular Chinese game console), so the two brothers abandoned the better Nintendo game console.

Even though the Subor game console was much cheaper than Nintendo's, costing only a little over 100 yuan, not every family was willing to buy it for their children these days.

This problem doesn't exist in Zhao Qinglan's family. As long as her children aren't addicted to games, she never stops them from playing games if they want to.

After taking out the cartridge and inserting it, Erwa and his younger brother started playing the game with the controller.

Contra, Super Mario Bros., Battle City, and Galaga.

Boys generally prefer Contra.

After playing for a while, the third child completely outclassed his older brother.

Seeing his future sister-in-law watching them play games with longing eyes, Sanwa gave up his seat.

"Sister Yu Xiang, you can play with this."

"Can I...?" Yu Xiang asked doubtfully.

She knew that the Subor game console had only become popular in the last two years, but before that, she was too busy making a living to have the time or inclination to play it.

But entertainment is something few people don't enjoy.

Seeing how much fun the second and third children were having, she had actually been tempted to try it herself, but she was afraid she wouldn't be able to because she had never played it before.

“Everyone has to go through a first time, I’ll teach you,” Erwa volunteered.

Yu Xiang then took the handle.

Under Erwa's guidance, the two started playing together.

"Jump, jump, squat, eat mushrooms."

While instructing his girlfriend on how to play Super Mario, Erwa was soon sweating profusely.

Seeing the children having so much fun, Zhao Qinglan smiled and poured them some drinks.

I must say, having kids at home makes all the difference.

Erwa and Yu Xiang stayed at home until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and only went out to return to Haishi on the sixth day.

Zhao Qinglan carried many things for them, making Yu Xiang feel the warmth of being cared for once again.

Yu Xiang wasn't home during the Chinese New Year, which the neighbors naturally knew.

Because Erwa had often driven her home before, many of the neighbors had seen Erwa, but she still had doubts about what she said about Erwa owning a house.

This was just a dating relationship, yet Yu Xiang went to the man's house for the Chinese New Year. Many people were skeptical and thought she had been deceived.

Because she brought a lot of things, Zhao Qinglan also contacted the company in Haishi to arrange for a car to pick up Erwa and Yu Xiang.

Erwa only found out when the train arrived at the station.

A car drove into the old residential area, and Yu Xiang and Erwa got out of the car, carrying a lot of things. Many people saw them.

Someone greeted Yu Xiang with a smile.

"Yu Xiang, you're back?"

"Yes, I just arrived today."

"What is this car?"

"The car was arranged for us by my boyfriend's mother."

After Yu Xiang and Erwa went upstairs and entered the house, the people outside started talking about it.

"Isn't Yu Xiang's boyfriend from out of town?"

"Yes, but I remember Yu said her boyfriend has a house in our city, so it's not surprising that he also has a car, right?"

"Who knows if it's true or false."

Erwa came down quickly.

Some enthusiastic older women just asked directly.

"Young man, is this your car?"

"No, it belongs to our company."

Erwa smiled and got into the car.

As soon as he left, everyone started talking about it again.

"See? I told you, that's a car, not a cabbage."

"But Yu's boyfriend can still hitch a ride in the company car, so he seems to be doing pretty well."

"And those other things, do you see them? Some of them don't look cheap."

"If his family is really that well-off, and they actually like Yu Xiang, it can't just be a casual fling, right?" This was someone who had introduced Yu Xiang to potential partners but was rejected, and he couldn't stand seeing Yu Xiang doing well.

"Didn't they say the car was arranged by the boyfriend's mother? Huh? How come the company car is involved with their family?" someone asked, puzzled.

"Anyway, since she's not married, it doesn't count for anything. Yu Xiang isn't exactly young anymore," someone said sarcastically.

After Erwa and Yu Xiang left home, Zhao Qinglan took Sanwa back to the provincial capital.

She can't be with her mother and father-in-law on ordinary days, so she has to come back for the Chinese New Year.

This time, Zhao Qingju also brought her son along.

The three sisters had a good get-together and chatted about many things.

"Big sister, is Sanwa going to compete abroad?" Zhao Qingju asked.

Because her nephew won the national first prize, she couldn't help but show it off to everyone around her.

There were even more knowledgeable people in the capital, and upon hearing this, they all praised her nephew for being so promising.

"Sanwa is lucky. This year's competition is being hosted by our country, so Sanwa doesn't need to go abroad. He can just go to Beijing to participate in the competition."

"Does that mean people from other countries are coming here to compete?" Zhao Qingzhu asked in surprise.

"Yes, people from other countries who are competing are coming here."

"That would be great."

Zhao Qingzhu and Zhao Qingju couldn't help but start disciplining their own children.

"Look at your brother Yan'an."

"Mom doesn't expect you to win any national first prizes. I'll be grateful if you can get in the top three in your class in the exams."

With such a formidable older cousin as Sanwa, the younger cousins ​​are under a lot of pressure.

When Xiaoduo, who lives abroad, learned that her younger brother had not only won the national first prize but would also represent the country in competitions against contestants from many other countries around the world, she became very excited.

Knowing that her younger brother's competition would be during the summer vacation, she promised to rush back to cheer him on.

As the new year passed, Xiaoduo was not far from graduating. She had already started preparing her graduate thesis before the new year.

For the thesis, I don't know how many days and nights I stayed up, and I often spent time in the library looking up information.

Zhou Yunting also became a devoted boyfriend, coming over from time to time to bring warmth, sometimes with fruit, sometimes with delicious meals, and even once with soup cooked by his mother.

Xiao Duo was overwhelmed with gratitude and affection from her future mother-in-law.

After all, she had heard her boyfriend say that her aunt was someone who rarely cooked.

The children are all doing well, and Zhao Qinglan has been smiling more often.

When she returned from the provincial capital, Sanwa had already started school, so she took some things and headed to Dawa's house.

My daughter-in-law Ji Rou's due date is approaching.

It's one thing if she doesn't help take care of things normally, but the baby is almost due, she can't just stay away from us.

Because of work, Li Huai couldn't go with them, so he asked his wife to bring her care and concern with her, and to call him anytime if anything happened.

The thought of becoming a grandfather soon filled Li Huai with excitement.
