"So, Mom, you support me, right?"

"Well, Mom supports everything you want to try, except for anything that's illegal or against social morality!"

"Hey, I know! I'll go find the teacher to sign up when I go to school today."

“I wish you success!”

Diandian carried the small pickle in his hands and walked into the dining room, "It's time to eat, it's time to eat, everyone is eating!"

A group of children came running over, each holding their own small stool and eating noodles obediently.

Qiuzai is not yet proficient in using chopsticks.

Zhou Sese cut the noodles into small pieces and put them on a plate, letting him eat with a spoon.

halfway.

Song Qingming, Chunsheng Jiangdong and others shouted at the door for Xingxingdiandian to go to school.

The two children hurriedly put a few mouthfuls of noodles in the bowl into their mouths, swallowed them whole, picked up the bowl of noodles, gulped down two mouthfuls of soup, got up without hesitation, ran to the desk, picked up their schoolbags, waved to Zhou Sese, and ran out together.

Xiao Yuanyuan looked at his brothers and sisters with envy, "Brothers and sisters, you are so fast!"

Zhou Sese knocked on the table and said, "Come back to your senses and eat your meal."

The three children continued to dig for rice.

On the way to elementary school.

Diandian announced excitedly, "I'm going to go to school and tell the teacher that I'm trying out to be the young host of the singing competition!"

Chunsheng asked curiously, "You don't recognize me many times. You're only in the first grade. What if you're selected and you don't know how to read?"

Diandian hummed softly, her ponytail swinging behind her. "The host's script is written in advance. I can write down the words I don't know how to write in pinyin. If that doesn't work, I'll just memorize the script."

Chunsheng made a face and said with a smile, "But you can't even recite Ode to the Goose."

I was so angry that I almost died.

With her hands on her hips, she strode forward and said loudly, "I can now recite 'Ode to the Goose' and 'Song of the Peasants'. I'm also reciting 'Three Character Classic' right now! Chunsheng, don't look down on me!"

Chunsheng corrected her address, "You should call me brother."

Diandian snorted, "I don't have a brother like you. You don't act like a brother at all. Brother Qingming, do you think I can do it?"

Song Qingming nodded seriously, "Sure, just do what you want to do. Even if you fail, you won't have any regrets. You go to the trials, and every competition will be a valuable experience for you."

Chunsheng sighed deeply, "Just spoil her, Diandian. Many of the students participating in the trials are from higher grades. What if you get eliminated in the first round and start crying? Otherwise, you might as well not participate."

Diandian raised her little fist and punched Chunsheng, grabbing the straps of her schoolbag with both hands, "Don't go with you boys."

He ran all the way at a rapid speed.

Chunsheng pouted, "Am I wrong? She cried so hard when she lost the last speech contest. She didn't even eat dinner that day."

Xingxing suddenly said, "Eat it."

Chunsheng: "Huh? I don't remember eating it?"

Xingxing glanced at Song Qingming and said, "It's the chocolate Qingming sent."

Chunsheng: "Song Qingming, don't you like chocolate? Every time Yu Wenjing sends you chocolate, you keep it for a very long time."

Song Qingming smiled and said, "It's okay. I don't particularly like it, but I don't dislike it either."

Chunsheng rubbed his hands, and smiled ingratiatingly, "How about you give me two pieces next time?"

Song Qingming: "..."

The children arrived at the school talking, laughing, and playing all the way.

Home

Zhou Sese couldn't go anywhere with her three children, so she could only take a walk in the compound.

It's cold.

The children were dressed like balls.

He walks in a hopping manner.

I guess when spring comes and flowers bloom, the children will take off their thick clothes and walk more steadily.

Xiao Yuanyuan walked by the roadside. Zhou Sese understood her daughter's thoughts. She didn't know why, but she especially liked the small insects under the stones on the roadside. She was not afraid of any insects and dared to hold them in her hands.

Last summer, He Dahua planted two mu of soybeans in the open space behind the compound. The soybeans were very productive of fat green bean worms, which looked like enlarged caterpillars. Each bean worm was about fourteen or fifteen centimeters long and as thick as an adult's thumb. Zhou Sese felt her scalp tingling just by looking at it. And little Yuanman, who was only one and a half years old at the time, dared to put one in each hand and put it in his mouth.

Zhou Sese even began to doubt what her daughter had become.

Chao Chao is much more steady, and most importantly, he likes cleanliness very much. He won’t touch anything outside, and if he touches something, he will wash his hands immediately.

In comparison, Qiuzi is a little less timid, but also quite naughty. He follows Xiaoyuan all day long and keeps calling "Sister, sister". Xiaoyuan sometimes even gives Qiuzi a bug, which makes both of them happy and gives the adults a headache.

Walk to the gate of the compound.

"Mom, Huahua!"

Xiao Yuanman pointed to a forsythia tree beside the door. Sure enough, small yellow flowers had already appeared on the forsythia tree. It was a rare sight in this early spring when the wind was still cold.

Xiao Yuanyuan pointed to her own little head and said, "Bring Huahua!"

Zhou Sese walked over with a smile, picked a small flower and pinned it on her daughter's ear.

Xiao Yuanyuan smiled happily, revealing a mouthful of white and tender teeth. "Wow, do you want to bleach the wine or not?"

Qiuzi is his sister's loyal follower, "Pretty, sister is the prettiest!"

Chao Chao walked to the side of the winter jasmine, stood on tiptoe, picked a small yellow wild flower from a place higher than herself, and ran to Zhou Sese, "Mom, bring flowers!"

Zhou Sese was surprised, "Do you want to bring flowers to your mother?"

The little guy frowned and hummed heavily.

Zhou Sese squatted down with a smile on her face, and Chao Chao put the little yellow flower in her hand on Zhou Sese's ear, "Mom is beautiful."

Little Yuanyuan ran to her mother and said proudly, "Everyone, it's beautiful!"

noon.

Zhou Sese had just returned home with her three children when the phone at home rang.

Xiao Yuanman couldn't wait to answer the phone.

But when he stepped over the threshold, he stumbled and fell to the ground like a dog eating shit.

Chaochao and Qiuzi ran over quickly, one on the left and one on the right, trying to help Xiao Yuanman up, but they overestimated their own strength. Before Xiao Yuanman could get up, the two little guys sat down on the ground again.

Zhou Sese had a headache. She immediately went over and picked up the three children, one in each hand, and straightened them up before answering the phone.

The call was from Aunt Zhang.

"Godmother."

"Sese, we've been allocated a spot. We're going to conduct a preliminary assessment to select a fashion designer to go abroad and participate in a design competition. Are you interested? The theme this time is to showcase our national culture. What are your thoughts on this?"
