After lunch, the children were all eager to go to the newspaper office with Feng Haidong.

Lu Yue was the most enthusiastic one, pulling her uncle's hand to leave.

"Uncle, let's hurry up and go."

Then, hearing Lu Yue clamoring to leave, Yang Xiaoxi, as if afraid of not being taken along, stayed close to her sister, determined to go together.

Yang Chengjian and Dong Xia couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time when they saw their daughter's expression.

Feng Qifan, on the other hand, appeared to be quite composed.

Feng Qifan even comforted his sisters: "Don't rush. If we go too early, there might not be anyone at the newspaper office. Let's rest for a while and then go with Dad."

Lu Yue asked her brother, puzzled, "Why is there no one at the newspaper office? Don't they have jobs?"

Yang Xiaoxi asked, "Did everyone go home for lunch?"

Feng Qifan said, "That's right, everyone needs to go home for lunch, so we can't go now because it's lunchtime. We have to wait until 2 pm to go."

Yang Xiaoxi immediately said, "Two o'clock in the afternoon? That'll be a long wait."

Lu Yue asked curiously, "What time is 2 PM?"

Yang Xiaoxi said, "Yueyue, it's not 1 o'clock yet. We have to wait for more than an hour."

Lu Yue then asked, "More than an hour? How long is that?"

Lu Yue is too young to have any concept of time, and at her age she is full of curiosity and loves to ask questions until she gets to the bottom of things.

But the question she asked left Feng Qifan and Yang Xiaoxi at a loss for words.

The two children are older and have their own sense of time, but they don't know how to explain it to their younger sister.

When the two older children didn't know how to explain, Zhou Xiaoxiao walked among them.

She squatted down with a smile, looked at the children, and said, "Are you all wondering how to explain this to your little sister for over an hour?"

Feng Qifan and Yang Xiaoxi nodded and said, "Yes, yes."

When Lu Yue saw Aunt Zhou arrive, she wasn't afraid of her anymore, because her older siblings were there. She boldly asked, "Aunt Zhou, do you know how long an hour is?"

Zhou Xiaoxiao said, "Auntie knows, do you want me to explain it to you?"

Lu Yue nodded and said, "Okay, Auntie, tell me about it."

Zhou Xiaoxiao smiled and said to Lu Yue, "One hour is 60 minutes, one minute is 60 seconds, one hour is 3600 seconds, and one hour is 3600 seconds. You just keep counting from 1 to 3600."

Lu Yue was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then she actually started counting on her fingers.

However, Lu Yue stopped after counting to 10.

The little girl counted on her fingers and started calculating seriously for a while.

Lu Yue looked up at Aunt Zhou and said, "Oh, counting from 1 to 3600 seems like it will take a long, long time. Yueyue has never counted to 100 before."

Zhou Xiaoxiao smiled and asked, "So, when Sister Xixi said that more than an hour is a long time, does Yueyue also feel that it's a long time now?"

Lu Yue nodded and said, "Yes, yes, it took a very, very long time."

Yang Xiaoxi said, "Right? So we'll have to wait a long time."

Feng Qifan said, "It's okay, we can still play together."

When Lu Yue heard that they could play together, she immediately said, "Okay, okay, let's play together! Brothers and sisters, let's play Eagle Catches Chicks!"

Yang Xiaoxi said, "Why is it another 'eagle catching chicks' scenario? I don't want to be the mother hen in front of you."

Lu Yue said, "Then you're the older sister, Yueyue can't even outrun her older brother."

Feng Qifan smiled and said, "How about I protect Yueyue, and Xixi, you catch us?"

Yang Xiaoxi immediately said, "No, we're all girls, how can you make us grab each other?"

Feng Qifan was taken aback by what he was saying, and then said, "Eagle Catches Chicks is a game, why is it divided into boys and girls?"

Yang Xiaoxi said, "When an eagle catches chicks, isn't there a mother hen protecting the chicks? You're a boy, how can you be the mother hen?"

Upon hearing his daughter's words, Yang Chengjian couldn't help but say, "Xixi, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Feng Haidong smiled and stopped Yang Chengjian and his wife, saying, "It's alright, it's alright, the kids are just playing together, we adults shouldn't interfere."

Lu Yaobin also said, "Yes, yes, we don't need to worry about the children in Yangzi."

Seeing that the three children had been discussing for a long time, Zhou Xiaoxiao stepped forward and said, "Why don't you bring Auntie along to play? Auntie will be the mother hen and stay in front to protect Xixi and Yueyue."

Lu Yue and Yang Xiaoxi looked at each other, and the two little girls immediately agreed happily.

Feng Qifan was a little unhappy: "No, Auntie, you're an adult. This isn't fair to me."

Just then, Lu Wanling and Mei Yaqin walked over.

When Lu Wanling heard her son say, "You're a grown man, why are you afraid of your Aunt Zhou?"

After hearing his mother's words, Feng Qifan thought about it and agreed, saying, "Okay, come and play. I'll catch you. With Auntie's help, I can catch you too."

During the lunch break that followed, the laughter of children echoed under the trees in the small garden of Lu Wanling's workplace.

It also attracted people from many organizations to come and watch.

Later, even Ding Huaixiao was drawn out.

Ding Huaixiao was also somewhat surprised to see Zhou Xiaoxiao and the three children playing and frolicking under the shade of the tree.

However, upon further reflection, Ding Huaixiao understood Zhou Xiaoxiao's intention.

Thinking about his relationship with Zhou Xiaoxiao's father, Ding Huaixiao felt it was necessary to remind him of something.
