Over there, Erdan ran to the door of his house like a happy pony.

Seeing that the door was not locked, I pushed it open without thinking and walked in.

When he opened the door, he was stunned.

What's going on?

Mom and grandma went to pick them up and forgot to lock the door?

The courtyard door is unlocked and the living room is open? This doesn't seem like something my mom and grandma would do.

Could it be a thief?!

Erdan was startled and tried to retreat on tiptoe like a cat with its back arched.

Oh my god!

He's such a smart guy!

I used to think those assumptions were a bunch of nonsense, but now they are in use.

His mother used to say that if you come home and find something wrong, like the door is open, or the windows or the yard look different than before, don't hesitate, just run, run to where there are a lot of people, and call for help. If no one helps, go to the police station and call the police...

In short, don't show off!

Otherwise, if you are discovered, you might be caught and sold, or even killed!

He doesn't want to be sold or killed!

Erdan had just taken two steps back when a tall and straight man appeared at the door of the living room, wiping his hair and squinting at him.

Erdan: “???”

Erdan: “!!!”

Erdan was stunned for a moment, then he let out a roar and rushed over, "Dad! Dad! You're back! If you don't come back, you'll be even less important than our cherry tree!"

The cherry tree at home is not very big. It has grown from spring to now, and the trunk is only as thick as his arm. Grandma said that it may bear some cherries next year, but don't hold your hopes too high.

But he, his brother, and his mother all raised it carefully, saying nice things to it and playing nice songs for it...

Well, in short, this cherry tree still has a lot of weight and emotion in their hearts!

Chen Lie easily held him up and let him climb onto her. When she heard him talking about the cherry tree, her eyes couldn't help but fall on the tree in the yard.

This is the only living thing in the house since he left.

"Dad, did you bring us any gifts?" Erdan continued, "Did you bring a gift for my mom? Did you bring a gift for my brother?"

Chen Lie's breathing hitched, and he looked at Erdan with difficulty, "She's given birth already?"

When he came back, he found the newborn supplies in the bedroom. They were brand new, without any milky smell. Only then did he feel at ease to take a bath and wash his hair...

"What?" Erdan was confused.

"Which hospital is your mother in?" Chen Lie quickly put Erdan down, went to get the newborn supplies prepared at home, took all the money and bills with him, quickly locked the door when he came out, tucked Erdan under his arm and rushed out.

Erdan was awakened by Chen Lie's series of movements and struggled to pull him away, "Dad! My mom hasn't given birth yet!"

What are you doing?

Why give birth? It's not time yet. His brother is very steady. He hasn't bothered his mother yet. Even though he, his brother, and his grandmother are extremely anxious, his brother doesn't show any signs of being anxious.

Chen Lie suddenly stopped, put Erdan down, and walked back to the yard carrying the newborn supplies.

Erdan rubbed his ribs and pouted, "Dad, you're so unstable!"

Chen Lie ignored him, put the newborn supplies back to their original place, put down his wallet, and then walked into the living room.

Erdan put down the schoolbag that contained his and his brother's stationery, opened the drawer and took out the camera. After taking it out, he checked it skillfully, and when he felt that there was no problem, he grinned.

"Where's your mother?" Chen Lie was ignored and just raised his eyebrows slightly.

Erdan: "Watching grandma take pictures of the sunset!"

He pointed outside, "Look, the sunset outside is so beautiful! My mother said that life is full of beauty, but some beauty is not the same, it is extremely rare, so we should be good at discovering and recording..."

Well, record keeping includes but is not limited to taking photos, there is also a short essay!

Short essay?

Erdan suddenly widened his eyes. Oh my god, do I have to write a short essay today?

"What's wrong?" Chen Lie picked up the towel and wiped his half-dry hair. He felt a little embarrassed about going out to meet Su Qinghu, as if he was just dating.

What should he say when he sees her later?

Erdan looked at Chen Lie, thought for a moment, and didn't tell the truth. "Nothing, I was just thinking that Mom would be happy to see you later."

In short, the fewer people who know about the fact that Mom likes to have people write short essays about their feelings after watching a movie, the better. This way, he and his brother will be spared the danger of having to do extra homework!

"Dad? Have you finished drying your hair?" Erdan asked cautiously.

Chen Lie: “Speak.”

Erdan grinned, his smile flattering, "Dad, if you've finished drying your hair, let's go out together."

If he went to see them with his father, would his mother be happy and would she not give him and his brother homework to review the movie?

Chen Lie paused while wiping his hair, then put down the towel and said, "Let's go."

Why do I feel homesick when I’m close to home?

Even when I got home, I didn’t feel so nervous or my heart was beating so fast!

Erdan rolled his eyes and stuffed two cameras into his hands. "Dad, hold the cameras for me. I'll get some boiled water for Mom and bring it over."

The camera is quite heavy and expensive, so it would definitely be safer for Dad to hold it.

As for him, it would be better for him to carry a thermos!

Chen Lie saw through his little trick of trying to show his affection, but he didn't expose him. After he had mixed the boiled water at the right temperature, he held out his hand and said, "Let me take it."

Erdan subconsciously hid the thermos behind him. "No, no, the thermos isn't that heavy. I can do it myself. Dad, hold on to the camera. Don't drop it. It's very valuable."

How could he trouble his father with such a small matter?

Erdan's face was full of righteousness.

Chen Lie hooked his hand, and Erdan reluctantly approached, still mumbling, "Dad, there's really no need. I'm very strong now. Let alone one thermos, I can lift 10 or 20 filled with water."

Grab the fruits of people’s labor!

He can't tolerate this!

His mother said, whoever owns it will own it, and everyone should fight for it based on their ability!

Chen Lie easily took the thermos cup and patted him on the head. “I already helped you with the camera, so an extra thermos cup won’t hurt either.”

Erdan: “…”

You don’t need a thermos cup, but I do! ! !

Is this a simple thermos cup? No, it's not. This thermos cup might have saved him and his brother from a tragic experience when writing a short essay!

"What's wrong?" Chen Lie looked at him with a smile.

Although there was hardly any smile on his handsome face.

Erdan: "Dad, do your own thing..."

He wanted to struggle again, but Chen Lie had already walked to the gate of the courtyard and was looking at him with the door lock in his hand.

Erdan gritted his teeth and walked out with a pout.

Okay, okay, let's give this opportunity to show my affection to Dad. Who told him that he is not as high-ranking as me? If I don't coax Mom a little, I might end up being single...

After comforting himself, Erdan felt much better.
