"How is it? Who are they?" Lan Yin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and as soon as Li Chunxiang entered the room, she pulled her aside and asked.
She couldn't leave even if she wanted to; she needed to find out where these people came from first.
Li Chunxiang repeated everything she heard verbatim. "I went out to see what was happening, and the people changing shifts got into the police car."
"Su Xiaonuan, you've ruined my plans again!" Lan Yin gritted her teeth. "You forced me to do this, so let your children go to hell!"
......
On a weekend morning, Xie Zhi was still asleep when he heard the squeaking of mice in the house. When he looked up, he saw about a dozen snow-white mice staring at him expectantly, as if begging him, "Master, please give me some food."
"Hey, are there any poor little things more pitiful than me?" Xie Zhi rolled out of bed, crumbled the leftover steamed bun, and fed it to the group of white mice. Their eager eating made him laugh.
He counted fifteen little white mice, all pure white and incredibly cute. Thinking that the children would love these little creatures, he decided to adopt them. He even made a little nest for them in a corner. After the mice had eaten their fill, he put them in the nest to sleep. After eating, the little mice were very obedient and fell asleep in their warm nest.
The children didn't have to go to school today, so Xiao Tian and Bu Li took over the task of delivering meals to Xie Zhi. The two children were very sensible. They lived in the Xiao family's house and were careful in everything they did. The feeling of being dependent on others was very prominent in them.
Even though Su Xiaonuan told them that they were equal to Dou Dou and Guo Guo in this family and didn't need to be careful, they still acted like helpless little guys.
Before, the two children looked forward to living at their godmother's house every day. After their dream came true, they started to miss their own home. Although they would be beaten and scolded, they were still quite happy when their father and stepmother were not around. Aunt Chen would let them run wild at home. But now, Aunt Chen tells them every day not to run around, to behave in other people's homes, and not to take DouDou and GuoGuo's things. Only then do they feel that no matter how nice this place is, it is not their own home.
Especially since they were staying at their godmother's house with their crazy dad, the two little ones were so sensible it was heartbreaking. While Dou Dou and Guo Guo were being affectionate and asking their grandma and paternal grandma to feed them, they had already finished eating and were going to the kitchen to get the food that Aunt Chen had prepared for their dad.
Xiao Tian brought a bowl of porridge, but he was afraid it would burn his sister, so he let her take the steamed buns and eggs instead.
"Xiao Tian, slow down!" Aunt Chen called out to him, adding some pickled vegetables to the porridge bowl. "After you take the porridge over, come back and get some sweet potatoes for your father. He's been eating a lot lately."
"Okay." After hearing this, Xiaoli reached out and grabbed an egg, putting it in the bowl.
"Xiaoli, those are Aunt Chen's eggs, put them back," Xiaotian ordered her.
"It's alright, it's alright, take it to your father." Aunt Chen saw Xiaoli pouting and looking like she was about to cry, so she immediately pressed Xiaoli's hand down. "Aunt Chen doesn't really like eating these white eggs."
Aunt Chen boils eggs according to the number of people, one white egg per person.
"Aunt Chen, I'll give you my eggs tomorrow morning." Xiaoli perked up instantly and said cutely. "From now on, I'll save my eggs for my dad so he can eat his fill and not go hungry."
"What a good child!" Aunt Chen felt a pang of sadness and quickly turned her back.
When Aunt Chen delivers meals, she usually just hands them to Xie Zhi at the door and leaves. The children, on the other hand, take the meals directly into the house and watch Xie Zhi eat before they feel at ease.
When Xie Zhi stopped eating after eating only half, they kept urging him to finish.
"Dad, let me feed you." Xiaoli sighed, picked up a spoon, scooped up some porridge, and fed it to him.
Xie Zhi shook his head. "I'm not eating anymore, I'm full."
"Dad, Aunt Chen said you have a big appetite, why are you only eating so little?" Xiao Tian asked, noticing that half of everything was left uneaten.
Xie Zhi pointed to a corner. "Leave it for them to eat."
"What?" The two brothers ran over to see.
"Ah, so cute!" Xiaoli exclaimed.
"Shh." Xie Zhi gestured for them to be quiet. "Don't wake them, they just fell asleep."
"Dad, where did you get these little white mice?" Xiao Tian was happy to see the animals; that's just a child's nature. If he wasn't afraid of waking the sleeping mice, he would have caught two more to play with.
"Go away, go away, come back to play when the white mouse wakes up." Xie Zhi shooed the two children out.
He wanted to deliver the breakfast to Lan Guangxue in the basement while it was still hot.
After the children left, he closed the door and locked it from the inside, fearing that they might return.
Lan Guangxue was peeling an egg when he heard that a litter of white mice had come to his house. He almost dropped the egg, but when he put his feet together, the egg fell onto his legs. He picked it up again and continued peeling.
"How did a litter of white mice suddenly appear?" Lan Guangxue seemed to be talking to himself. "There are dogs in the yard, this shouldn't be happening."
"Big Yellow is in the backyard. Maybe it was moved from the backyard to the front yard?" Xie Zhi rubbed his nose. "But it's really cute. I'll bring them down to keep you company when the kids go to school."
"Forget it, I don't like those things. No matter how cute a white mouse is, it's still a mouse," Lan Guangxue shook his head. "You can keep them to amuse yourself."
“It’s the weekend, the kids are on holiday, so don’t go up there. Da Huang won’t stand to see you either. Just stay down here. Lan Yin hasn’t been making any moves lately, so I have to keep an eye on her, in case she suddenly goes out.”
"Why hasn't she made a move for days? That shouldn't be the case," Lan Guangxue mumbled, taking a bite of egg.
“I noticed that there are always strangers loitering around downstairs at her apartment, which might be related to this.”
Who is it?
"I don't know."
Lan Guangxue quickly finished his porridge, picked up a steamed bun, and raised his chin. "Take the bowl upstairs, grab your props and hurry out. She might do something."
After breakfast, Su Xiaonuan drove Xiao Hong, Zhong Ling, and Tie Zhu to the store, while Xiao Moran drove to the factory.
Su Ming usually picks up and drops off the children. On weekends, he plans to take them out to play, but when the children hear that Xie Zhi has a nest of white mice in his room, they refuse to go out with Su Ming.
Finally, Ye Mei and Zhang Yulan left in Su Ming's car. If it weren't for the need to leave someone at home to look after the children, Aunt Chen would have gone out with them.
Zhang Yulan used to be reluctant to go out, but with her mother-in-law accompanying her, she fell in love with shopping. Her mother-in-law would patiently explain anything she didn't understand. Moreover, they could eat wherever they went and didn't worry about not having food. Xiao Nuan's snack shops and beverage shops were everywhere, with plenty of food and drinks available. They could just put the food on Xiao Nuan's tab, which was a privilege Xiao Nuan gave them.
Before leaving, Ye Mei instructed Aunt Chen, "Aunt Chen, when the children are at home, cook them plenty of good food. They're all growing, so we won't be back for lunch; we'll come back for dinner."
"Okay," Aunt Chen said. "You two can go and have fun without worry, I'll take care of things at home."
As soon as Su Ming's car left, Xiao Moxi got ready and went out. She had arranged with Jiang Yi to wait for her at the entrance of the residential area yesterday.
