Looking at her aggrieved expression, Meng Ying felt a little reluctant. When had this child ever been greedy for these things? She had never been short of food since she was a child. Unfortunately, the situation was special now, and she couldn't indulge her no matter how much she felt sorry for her.

"Be patient. When the baby is born, you can eat as much as you want. Auntie will buy you a basket then."

Jian Shu burst into laughter and said, "How can I eat so much?"

"It's okay, we're here for you if you can't finish it." There are three people in the family. If each of them eats a few, they'll almost finish it.

"Okay, that's what you said. I want to see a basket of apples when the baby is born!" Jian Shu leaned on Meng Ying's shoulder, with a hint of coquettishness in her voice.

People become spoiled only when they are pampered by others.

Meng Ying was also willing to indulge her, combing her hair from top to bottom with her fingers, a smile in her eyes, "Okay, I'll buy it in advance and make sure you can see it first."

After saying that, she thought for a moment and said, "How about I make you noodle soup tonight? Didn't you say in your photo that you wanted to eat the noodle soup I made?" Apples can't be eaten today, but noodle soup is fine, as long as it's in moderation.

"Okay!" Jian Shu responded, then stretched out his fingers and gestured, "I'll just eat a little bit and taste it."

Meng Ying laughed, "It's okay, as long as you don't overeat."

"How's Uncle Zhao doing lately? Is he feeling well?"

"It's still the same as always, working overtime every day and coming back in the dark. He's in good health. He couldn't stay idle a few days ago and even went out to practice. He beat many people, and others secretly praised him for being still as skilled as ever!" When Meng Ying said the last few words, her tone was full of ridicule.

Zhao Yueling on the side covered her mouth and laughed.

"I guess Uncle Zhao might not be happy to hear that." Jian Shu understood and laughed secretly too.

Although it was a compliment, Zhao Mingze did not think of himself as an old man. He was clearly in his prime.

"That's right. Those guys who praised him turned around and increased the amount of training, calling it intensive training, but in fact they were just petty and vindictive." Meng Ying complained bluntly, exposing Zhao Mingze's past.

Zhao Yueling also whispered, "Dad was doing boxing in the yard at dawn every day during those days. Ruirui was dragged along too, and he was almost crying from the training."

"Haha, poor Ruirui!" Jianshu laughed loudly, but it was unclear why he was happy.

Gu Mingjing, who had heard so many little secrets, broke out in a cold sweat. Ah...

Although it's fun to hear, the consequences are hard to predict. If a petty person knows about this, will he be punished?

He didn't mean to hear it!

However, I didn’t expect that Uncle Zhao had such a side to him!

Gu Mingjing was both happy and tormented while eating melon at this moment. It was truly a mixture of ice and fire.

The family chatted about their recent situations and some new things happening around them, and time passed slowly.

Meng Ying put on an apron and went to the kitchen to make noodle soup for Jianshu. Gu Mingjing also followed her into the kitchen to help.

Jianshu specifically requested noodle soup. It's impossible for four people at home to just eat noodle soup. If we didn't finish lunch, we could continue with it for dinner.

Jian Shu wanted to join in the fun, but was kicked out of the kitchen by the two of them. Zhao Yueling dragged her out for a walk, under the pretext of getting familiar with the environment.

It was getting late, so the two of them didn't walk too far and just wandered around their home. On the way, they met Tiedan and his siblings who were returning home from school. Zhao Yueling took out a portion of candy that she had prepared in advance for each of them, which made Tiedan immediately call her "sister" without paying any attention to the confusing generational structure.

He was just standing there smiling foolishly with candy in his hands. Jianshu had no doubt that as long as someone gave him candy, he would recognize a bunch of sisters.

After the children returned home, Zhao Yueling took Jian Shu's arm and asked with a smile, "Sister, is this the child you wrote about in the letter?"

"Yes, it's Tiedan."

"It's really interesting." Much more interesting than the kids I've met before. They might seem cheeky and playful, but they actually know their limits and aren't annoying at all. On the contrary, they can actually amuse and cheer you up.

This is a child that even if not everyone likes him, no one will dislike him either. Of course, except for those who are naturally prejudiced.

"Yeah, Tiedan is really awesome. A bunch of younger brothers in the family compound all listen to him." It's not easy to do this. Haven't you seen those naughty kids who don't even listen to their parents and go against their words?

Sometimes when parents can't control their children, he just needs to say a few words, which really makes many people laugh and cry.

"Come to think of it, I promised Tiedan last year that I would make stir-fried snails for them again. Unfortunately, I got pregnant, so this appointment can only be postponed to next year." Thinking of his broken promise, Jianshu couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

Although there is a legitimate reason, a broken appointment is a broken appointment, and it is not a reason for her to justify not taking it seriously.

"There's nothing we can do about it. We'll just have to compensate them next year." Zhao Yueling didn't say it was not your fault, but offered compensation.

"That's the only way. I'll make more delicious food for them then." Jianshu nodded.

Just at this moment, Gu Mingjing's voice came, calling them to eat.

"Let's go. If you don't go back, your brother-in-law will have to come out to look for someone."

"I'm already here." Zhao Yueling curled her lips. Isn't she here with him? What's there to worry about?

Humph! Look at her kick over the bowl of dog food in front of her!

She felt a strong sense of malice towards single people, and what was even more terrifying was that she would have to endure such great malice for the next few months.

"Is it too late for me to go back to Beijing now?" Zhao Yueling wanted to go back to be with her father and her brother. It would be nice to have the whole family together.
