Chapter 47

Xiao Zhuang nodded and shook his head. He had a strong sense of time since he was a child, and he would take the initiative to abide by the time to do what.

If he goes to bed now, he won't be able to sleep at noon.

Long Qi Che didn't understand what he meant, "So do you want to sleep or not?"

Xiao Zhuang rubbed his eyes and shook his head, "Xiao Zhuang doesn't want to sleep..."

Long Qi Che looked helpless. Why wasn't he sleeping when he was so sleepy?

He really couldn't understand Xiao Zhuang's thoughts at all. At this moment, he wanted to know what was going on in Xiao Zhuang's little head.

Xiao Zhuang lowered his head and looked carefully at his plan. With the help of Long Qi Che, he had just finished drawing all the things he needed to bring, and now there was nothing else to do.

In order to keep himself from falling asleep, Xiao Zhuang took out the abacus beads from the shelf next to him. He sat back in his seat and fiddled with the beads to do abacus.

Long Qi Che was listening to the crackling sound of falling beads. He began to feel sleepy again and fell asleep on the table.

Zhuzi's voice was quite hypnotic, and Xiaojiang was becoming more and more sleepy. He forced himself not to fall asleep, and the way he fought back his sleepiness was both adorable and heartbreaking to watch.

Shu Jinye stopped talking nonsense and directly brought small beds to Xiao Zhuang and Long Qi Che.

"Go to sleep if you want. Uncle won't go to your house to disturb you guys recently."

Xiao Zhuang shook his head and still refused to sleep. He ran to the sink, took out his small towel and washed his face and hands with cold water.

Shu Jinye carried Long Qi Che into the crib and hurried after him.

Xiao Zhuang took a small red basin to collect water. He wrung the towel hard, but there was still a lot of water on the towel.

The child was not strong enough to wring the towel dry, so it felt heavy when he picked it up wet.

When Shu Jinye saw that Xiao Jiang was in trouble, he quickly washed his hands with hand sanitizer.

Children are very prone to getting sick, so adults must pay attention to hygiene. Shu Jinye had done a lot of homework before.

Suddenly, a big hand reached out and helped Xiao Zhuang wring out the towel.

"Take it." Shu Jinye said gently.

Xiao Zhuang hesitated for a moment, but still took the towel and said, "Thank you, brother."

Although he had just cried because of Shu Jinye, Xiao Zhuang was still very polite now.

Shu Jinye felt warm in his heart. What kind of little angel is this?

"Then can you forgive your uncle?"

Xiao Zhuang didn't reply and silently washed his hands and face.

Shu Jinye quickly shut up. Why had he accidentally started talking nonsense again? What if Xiao Zhuang started crying again?

After washing his face, Xiao Zhuang felt much better. He sat back in his seat and took out a picture book from his schoolbag to study.

His father signed him up for an online class yesterday and he wanted to prepare for it.

Shu Jinye sat on a small chair beside him like a loving old father. No matter how you look at it, Xiao Jiang was the most obedient baby in his heart.

While Xiao Jiang was reading seriously, Shu Jinye glanced at Xiao Jiang's notebook on the table.

"Uncle, can I take a look?" Shu Jinye wanted to get Xiao Zhuang's consent before he could look at his things.

Children need to be respected just like adults.

Xiao Zhuang nodded while reading the book seriously.

After receiving the response, Shu Jinye opened Xiaojiang's notebook. The children's drawings inside were crooked and full of childish innocence. He quickly took a picture with his terminal to collect it.

Long Qi Che slept next to Xiao Zhuang until lunch time. When he was woken up, he found that the other cubs were queuing up with their small bowls, waiting to eat.

He usually doesn't like to eat and has no interest in eating at all. He just lies down and wants to continue sleeping.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Zhuang, who was queuing for food, felt a little worried.

Xiao Zhuang walked to the bedside with a small bowl of food in his hand, "Xiao Che, it's time to eat."

"I don't want to eat, so leave me alone."

Xiao Zhuang didn't know the feeling of hunger. He had seen Xianxian and Zhuangzhuang howling with hunger, and he understood that it would be very uncomfortable to be hungry.

“If I don’t eat, I’ll be hungry…”

The classroom was filled with the aroma of food.

Long Qi Che opened one eye and looked at the little zombie beside the bed. The little zombie had a small bun on his head and looked a little worried.

He sat up from the bed, stretched, and climbed down. "Okay, I got it." Then he went to the sink to wash his hands and prepare to eat.

Xiao Zhuang helped him place the bowl neatly on the placemat on the table.

Long Qiche stared at Xiao Zhuang's bowl, "Why are you eating so little?"

Xiao Zhuang was embarrassed to say that he didn't feel hungry at all, and he only ate every day to be like everyone else.

He didn't reply and ate his meal with a spoon.

Long Qi Che didn't ask any more questions. He just scooped a spoonful of food into his mouth.

“I didn’t expect the food here to be so delicious…”

After lunch, the kids go to sleep, and their task after getting up in the afternoon is to go to the mall to buy travel supplies.

It was finally nap time for Xiao Zhuang. He changed into his pajamas and prepared to climb into his crib to sleep.

Long Qi Che still fell asleep very quickly. His bed was right next to Xiao Jiang, and he could fall asleep in seconds as long as Xiao Jiang was around.

Shu Jinye helped Xiao Jiang take off the hair accessories on his head and put them away. He also thoughtfully combed his hair and covered him with a blanket. "Have a good rest. I'll call you later."

Xiao Zhuang responded sleepily, "Yeah." Then his curled eyelashes covered his clear big eyes.

Shu Jinye was so adorable that he really wanted to give her a kiss.

After tucking in the corners of the quilt for Xiao Zhuang and Long Qi Che, he sat by and watched silently. He turned the terminal to silent mode and took care of official business while the children were taking a nap.

He kept a close eye on the progress of the construction team. They were going on a sea trip tomorrow, and he believed that Jiang Chen would definitely go with Xiao Zhuang.

During the seven days of travel, he required the construction team to complete the house.

In the afternoon, the kids came to the mall hand in hand.

As the largest sponsor of this event, this shopping mall is also owned by the Long Group.

All the shopping for the kids today was paid for by Long.

The other cubs flew to their favorite areas like happy little bees.

Linyin rushed straight into the bookstore to buy comics, Xianxian went to the toy store, Zhuangzhuang was at the snack shop, Xiaoyu was at the dessert shop, Yueyue went to the doll store, and the twins held hands and prepared to ride the mall's rocking train...

At the entrance of the mall, Xiao Zhuang was carrying a small shopping basket with a confused look on his face.

"Why are you standing here motionless?" asked Long Qi Che from the side.

Purchasing goods is the job of the kids, and the college student partners are not allowed to interfere.

The mall is too big and Xiao Zhuang doesn’t know where to go first.

Long Qi Che seemed to see what Xiao Zhuang was thinking. He never went shopping before, and now that he wanted to buy something, he didn't know where to start.

"How about taking a look first?"

"Yeah." Xiao Zhuang nodded.

The follow-up camera followed the two kids into the mall.

Long’s Shopping Mall is very large. The entire building alone is tens of thousands of square meters and is seven stories high.

Although Xiao Zhuang and his father went shopping in the mall, it was his father who used the navigation system to get to the stores they wanted to go to, so there was no problem of finding the way.

Xiao Zhuang opened his plan, but he didn't know which store to buy these products from.

This mission not only cultivates the children's hands-on and planning abilities to make their own plans, but also tests their common sense in life.

Kindergartens usually teach which items to buy in which stores. Xiao Zhuang has only been in school for a few days, and his understanding of the world comes from the science books his father bought for him.

These are basic common sense for children who grew up in the interstellar space, but for the ancient child Xiao Zhuang, they are a bit beyond the scope.

Long Qi Che had never been well-educated in kindergarten before. He could understand everything by reading other people's thoughts, no matter what they were doing.

But now he was next to Xiao Zhuang, he couldn't hear anything around him, and was at a loss for a moment.

The two kids walked side by side on the first floor of the mall.

When passing by a men's suit shop, Xiao Zhuang saw a wall of ties in the window that were filled with ties of different colors, which attracted his attention.

Xiao Zhuang stood in front of the window and looked up. He was dazzled by the wall of beautiful ties.

"Hmm? What are you doing here?" Long Qiche stopped and saw Xiao Zhuang staring at the window. "Do you want to go in and take a look?"

"Um."

"Let's go." Long Qi Che led him into the store.

The shopping guide's heart started pounding when she saw two pretty girls coming in, followed by a handsome guy.

This morning the entire mall was notified that kindergarten children would be coming for activities in the afternoon. We thought that since they were a suit shop, no children would come.

I didn't expect to meet him.

"Little boy, do you want to see the tie?"

"Yeah." Xiao Zhuang nodded.

The salesperson took out the shopping screen and squatted in front of Xiao Zhuang. "Which one do you like, kid?"

The ties on screen are all children's styles.

Xiao Zhuang shook his head, "I want to buy it for Dad..."

"So it's for dad." The shopping guide didn't expect such a young child to be so filial, and he instantly liked her very much.

It’s just that the things in their store are not cheap, and he is a little worried that his children can’t afford them.

When he saw that Long Qi Che was wearing a very expensive children's suit, he suddenly felt that he was worrying too much.

"Then take a look at these, they are all for adults."

"Um."

Shu Jinye looked at Xiao Zhuang who was choosing a tie. He felt envious and jealous. How could there be such a well-behaved child like Xiao Zhuang in the world?

The little boy was carrying a small shopping basket, staring at the screen with his pretty eyes, looking extremely cute.

He knew that his father liked ties, so Jiang Chen bought a lot of them for the wardrobe at home.

Children all like colorful things. Xiao Zhuang picked out a cartoon-style adult tie, which was not cheap.

Long Qi Che, who was standing by, took a look at the price of the tie. It was just a drop in the bucket for him.

However, the first thing Xiao Zhuang thought of when he entered the mall was to buy something for his father. On the other hand, he seemed to have never given anything to his parents.

Long Qi Che suddenly felt that he should show his appreciation, so he also chose two ties.

"Have you made your selection, kids? You can come over here to check out."

After holding the tie gift box, Xiao Zhuang realized belatedly that he had no money.

At the cashier, Xiao Zhuang looked a little embarrassed: "Xiao Zhuang has no money..."

Long Qiche smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I'll pay for everything today."

Xiao Zhuang shook his head and prepared to return the tie, "You have to buy your own gifts for Dad."

Shu Jinye's heart was struck hard behind him. The little zombie was just too sensible and well-behaved.

Jiang Chen stared at the little zombie on the screen. He was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes that his son actually wanted to buy him a gift.

Pink Rabbit was anxiously watching: "Master, does Master Xiaozhuang really have no money?"

"It's over. I forgot to tell Xiao Jiang that my secondary card is linked to his terminal."

"Okay, I'll call the young master right away."

Xiao Zhuang was about to return the tie reluctantly when his children's terminal rang with the ending theme song of "Mech Warriors".

His terminal rang for the first time, and he answered it. The person on the other end looked like a pink rabbit.

"Master, your pocket money is in the terminal. Just scan it at the cashier to pay."

The little zombie nodded.

His lost expression gradually improved, and he could buy gifts for his father again.

The cashier at the checkout counter was also melted by the cuteness. How could this child be so well-behaved? He wished he could have such a well-behaved child in the future.

Xiao Zhuang bought the tie and carefully put the box into his small basket.

Shu Jinye felt sour and jealous, and suddenly two small hands holding a gift box came to his knees.

"Brother... give..."

Shu Jinye was flattered, "Is this a gift from Xiaojiang?"

"Um."

Xiao Zhuang had just been made to cry in the morning, and now he actually bought something for him. Shu Jinye, a grown man, had tears in his eyes.

"Thanks…"

He never expected that he would get a tie from the little zombie.

Long Qi Che also took two identical ties and put them in the basket, preparing to go back and give them to his parents.

He looked at Shu Jinye, who was about to cry, and curled his lips. "I won't give you anything. Just choose whatever you want. This mall belongs to me anyway."

Shu Jinye held back his tears. Why does this child act like a little adult?

"Thank you. The gift from Xiao Zhuang is enough for me." He carefully put the gift box into the space button.

After buying the tie, Xiao Jiang took out the plan and took the initiative to run to the shopping guide.

"What's wrong, baby?"

Xiao Zhuang blushed and felt a little embarrassed, "I...Excuse me..."

Long Qi Che saw through his intention. He couldn't give explicit hints to his college student partner, but he didn't say that he couldn't ask other people about buying things.

"Excuse me, where can I buy these things in this mall?" Long Qi Che asked directly for help.

"It's in the supermarket on the underground first floor. You can see the entrance as soon as you get off the elevator."

"OK, thanks."

"let's go."

"Um."

Shu Jinye was still immersed in the happiness of receiving a gift from Xiao Zhuang. He followed the two kids out of the suit shop in a daze.

After finding the supermarket, it was easy to buy travel supplies. By the time school was over, Xiao Zhuang's group was the only one in the entire class that bought things that were closest to the task requirements.

When Jiang Chen came to pick up Xiao Zhuang, Xiao Zhuang was dragging a children's suitcase and ran to his father.

"Dad~!" Xiao Zhuang hugged Jiang Chen's legs.

"Little zombie is so well-behaved." Jiang Chen raised his eyes and met Shu Jinye's gaze.

Shu Jinye withdrew his gaze and quickly turned his back, for he was afraid that he would offend Jiang Chen again.

*

In the Long family manor.

The first gift that Long Dad and Long Di received from their son was a couple's tie. The two hugged each other and burst into tears.

Although it was something from my own shopping mall, my son’s thoughtfulness was quite touching.

"Wow, wow, my child's father, how come our child is so sensible?"

"It's all because of your good teaching, otherwise how could our son be so outstanding?"

“…”

Long Qi Che was speechless. These two people were very exaggerated whenever they were together, especially his father who was full of evil intentions. He always looked innocent in front of his father.

"I will wear the tie my son gave me every day from now on."

"It's decided. We'll go on the trip together as a family tomorrow."

In the forest villa on the other side.

Jiang Chen held the little zombie in his arms.

"Baby, why did you cry at school today?"

Xiao Zhuang buried his head in his father's arms, he didn't know what to say.

Jiang Chen patiently guided him. He didn't want to create any estrangement between him and Xiao Zhuang. "Can you tell Dad?"

Xiao Zhuang was silent for a while before speaking, "Brother Shu made Dad angry, Xiao Zhuang cried..."

"So that's how it is..." Jiang Chen recalled what happened yesterday. It turned out that he was the one who affected the little zombie.

He was too emotional towards Shu Jinye and had lost his usual composure. His brows were gloomy and he reflected on himself.

He is going on a trip tomorrow and will have to spend time with Shu Jinye, so he can't be so emotional anymore.

"Okay, Xiao Zhuang, don't cry anymore... Daddy won't be sad anymore."

"Um."

"Let's go pack our bags together."

Parents are also included in the week-long trip for all teachers and students. Kindergarten children are too young to be away from their parents for so many days.

"We're going to the beach tomorrow. Are you excited, little zombie?"

"Yeah." Xiao Zhuang nodded, and he followed Jiang Chen's example to fold his own clothes.

Jiang Chen smiled with his eyebrows curved. This was also his first time going to the beach.

In the past, he had never been to the seaside in Dongqi for more than 20 years. At that time, he had always longed for the sea, and it was a wish that he had never had time to realize.
