Xinxin patted her head in dissatisfaction and taught her a lesson.

"Lele, how can you compare Sister Yanfang with others?"

"Also, no commenting on people's appearance!"

Lele covered the back of her head with her hands and pouted, "Sister, Daddy said you can't hit people on the head, it makes them stupid! I can't get into college, it's all your fault!"

Xinxin was so angry that she laughed. She reached out and pinched her pouting lips. "With your brain full of mush, whether I beat you or not, you may not be able to get into college!"

Lele opened Xinxin's hand that was pinching her mouth and shouted unconvincedly, "Sister, don't look down on me. I will definitely be able to get into university in the future!"

"Right, brother?"

Pingping, whose name was suddenly called, hadn't reacted yet. But looking at Lele, who looked serious, and then at Xinxin, who looked disdainful, he thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, Lele, if you can get into the top 30 in the final exam, you will definitely be able to get into university."

Xinxin burst out laughing when she heard that. "There are only 38 people in her class... She ranked 34th last time, and 35th the time before that... So what place did she get this time? 36th? Pingping, you set a really low bar for her..."

Chu Tian and the others all laughed, even Wang Yanfang, who had been looking nervous, couldn't help laughing.

Lele's face flushed red, and tears welled up in her eyes. "I, I, I will definitely be able to get into the top 30 in this exam."

Xinxin was about to make a few more sarcastic remarks, but Chu Tian interrupted, "What ambition! Good luck, Lele! Dad believes you can get into the top 30 this time. Let's improve little by little, lay a solid foundation, and move up a few places at a time. By the time you take the college entrance exam, you'll be as good as your brothers and sisters."

Old Madam Chu also waved, and took Xinxin into her arms, smiling and saying, "Our Lele is very smart. Grandma believes that Lele will be as capable as his brothers and sisters in the future."

Lele just nodded heavily in Mrs. Chu's arms.

Seeing this, Xinxin knew she had said the wrong thing. She turned around and glanced at Chu Tian. Seeing that Chu Tian did not blame her, she moved closer to Lele and said in a soft voice, "Lele, sister is not laughing at you. Sister is joking with you. Our Lele is the most well-behaved and the most amazing..."

Lele stuck her head out of Mrs. Chu's arms and looked at Xinxin with red eyes, "But, but Lele's study is not as good as her sister..."

Xinxin quickly said, "No, no, when I was in second grade, I even ranked last in the exam! Lele is better than me!"

Lele blinked, "Really?"

Xinxin nodded repeatedly, "Really, really, it's more real than real gold!"

"It doesn't matter if Lele is not good at studying. From now on, your sister and brother will tutor you every night, okay?"

Lele nodded obediently, "Okay..."

But she didn't know that her "OK" would be her biggest nightmare in the future years of her studies. Even though she could rank among the top ten in the class, Xinxin and Pingping would not slack off in her studies at all.

Yao Xiujuan watched as her younger daughter was coaxed into submission by her older daughter, and she breathed a sigh of relief. Because of Liu Zhaodi, her older daughter was very sensible from a young age, unlike Lele, who had never suffered since childhood and loved to act coquettishly with her. Therefore, she favored the younger daughter in her heart.

But it’s not that she doesn’t love Xinxin, but she really can’t stand seeing Lele cry...

Chu Tian frowned when he saw Yao Xiujuan's actions, but he didn't say anything in the end. It is normal for parents to favor one child. As long as they are not biased on major issues, they can turn a blind eye and teach their child slowly behind the scenes!

However, if it goes too far, never mind what will happen to the children, he will be the first one who is unwilling!

With Lele's interruption, no one continued to talk. After dinner, those who should go to school went to school, those who should take a nap went to take a nap, and those who should go to the store to help went to help...

In the afternoon, Chu Tian pushed open a room and pointed at the two wooden beds inside. He said to Xu Cheng and his brother Wu Bin, "This room was originally reserved for the store staff to rest at noon. How about giving it to you now? You can put your bedding and daily necessities in this room during the day. I will let them go to the other room when they rest."

Seeing the two of them nodded in agreement, Chu Tian let them clean up themselves and turned around and walked out of the house.

When Yao Xiujuan saw Chu Tian coming out, she quickly pulled him aside and asked in a low voice, "Brother Tian? Why are you hiring again? Two more? Didn't you say before that the store wouldn't hire anymore? And why are you still providing three meals a day?"

"...That's right, so it's better for us to have someone guarding our store at night, so that if anything happens, we can know..."

Chu Tian actually didn't want to explain things too clearly to Yao Xiujuan, but he was afraid that she would think too much if he didn't explain it clearly, so Chu Tian just said a few simple words.

Yao Xiujuan was shocked. "What? How could there be a home robbery? Aren't they afraid of being eaten?"

Chu Tian spread his hands, "Who knows? Anyway, it's better to be prepared!"

"Anyway, I'm usually not here, so it's just you guys in the store. Lin Yuan is like a child. If there really is trouble, it's always good to have two grown men in the store."

"Even if no one causes trouble, you sometimes have to move heavy objects and climb up and down. When the grain and oil store delivers goods, they can do it too, right?"

"Okay, I got it. I'll note down their work dates later, and I'll make two extra meals when I cook dinner tonight."

Yao Xiujuan let Chu Tian have the final say in everything, and she asked out of curiosity, so when she heard Chu Tian say that, she didn't have any objection.

Chu Tian quickly added, "Let's prepare three more people! Lin Yuan also wants to keep watch together!"

"Okay, I understand..."

In the evening, Chu Tian planned to keep watch with them. Before going to bed, he took a few very smooth wooden sticks and gave one to each of them.

"If there really is a home invasion, don't hit them on the head. Hit their legs, back, or buttocks, okay?"

The three of them said in unison, "Got it..."

The night passed peacefully. Chu Tian went to the construction company after breakfast. He thought he arrived early, but unexpectedly Liu Qiping's family of four arrived even earlier. Chu Tian raised his wrist, checked the time, and found that it was just past nine o'clock, so he looked at Zuo Zhuang in surprise.

"Zuo Zhuang, why are you here so early?"

Zuo Zhuang yawned loudly. "Master Liu was waiting for me at my doorstep at around five o'clock. My eldest brother had just finished his night shift. When he learned that he was waiting for me, he pulled me out of bed, so he came here early..."

"No, I'm so sleepy, I'm going to the lounge to take a nap..."

“····”

Looking at Zuo Zhuang staggering into the lounge, Chu Tian shook his head helplessly, thinking that this guy is in his twenties and has children, but sometimes he still acts like a child...
