Chapter 226: Extra 3: (1)
—When Duoduo was three and a half years old.
Jin Chengjiang is now a kindergarten student.
Every morning, Sang Qian would take him to school. Watching her little son carrying a big schoolbag and happily skipping into the school gate, she felt incredibly touched.
So cute.
It was Friday, and Jin Changyu made a point of leaving get off work early to accompany Sang Qian to pick up her son.
They arrived early.
This is a good opportunity for the instructor to take the children outside the classroom to check on their learning progress.
The couple stood side by side outside the transparent window and saw ten children sitting around a large round table playing with building blocks.
Little Jin Chengjiang was sitting facing the window, intently piecing together the building blocks in his hands.
Now that he's grown up, the little guy's eyebrows and eyes really resemble Jin Changyu's, especially his focused and serious demeanor when doing things—
He sat upright with a focused expression.
Even though his face is still quite young, he appears more mature than other children his age.
He can assemble the same type of toy much faster than others, and his progress is already evident.
When a classmate next to him came over to ask him something, he even took the time to give them some pointers.
Looking at her son, Sang Qian grew more and more fond of him, and couldn't help but lean closer to Jin Changyu and whisper praise, "Look how skillful our son is."
Jin Changyu glanced at the building blocks in his son's hand, a hint of fatherly pride flashing in his eyes, but said, "Compared to when I was a child, he's far behind."
"..."
Sang Qian turned her head to look at the tall, handsome man beside her.
Dressed in a suit and tie, with slicked-back hair, he stood tall and elegant.
In the past two or three years, he has become more mature and charming, but his mentality has become more and more childish.
At home, she often fights with her son for the bed, comparing things like "who loves mom more," "who gets more love from mom," and "who mom likes more."
Even in these children's games, he wants to compete with his son to see who is better.
Jin Changyu caught her look and asked, "You don't believe me?"
"I was already playing with much more advanced building blocks when I was three years old. What they had was child's play for me back then."
Sang Qian suppressed a laugh and nodded, "Yes, my Mr. Jin has always been an outstanding talent, how could I not believe it?"
She had heard her grandmother say that Jin Changyu was indeed extremely intelligent from a young age, far surpassing his peers.
She believed he wasn't exaggerating.
So you admit I'm smarter than your son?
Sang Qian, "..."
here we go again.
"Yes, Mr. Jin is smarter than Mr. Jin."
After she finished speaking, just as the man was about to show a smug look, she deliberately added, "But I believe my son can surpass me."
Jin Changyu's smile faltered for a moment. Seeing the teasing glint in the woman's eyes, he raised an eyebrow, reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist, leaning close to her ear:
"That means my husband and I have good genes."
Sang Qian quickly pulled his hand away from her waist, "Be serious, this is a school, what will it look like if people see us like this?"
Jin Changyu: "How is it inappropriate for me to hug my wife?"
Because he was outside, he was extremely careful with his actions.
If they were at home, and she deliberately teased him, how could he let her off so easily?
Sang Qian glared at him, but before she could say anything, the school bell rang, signaling the end of the school term.
She immediately turned to look at her son inside.
Just as Jin Chengjiang finished building with the blocks and put down his finished product, a classmate next to him tugged at his hand.
"Chengjiang, your mom and dad have come to pick you up again."
Your companion pointed out the window, looking on with envy, and said, "And he was the first one to pick you up."
When little Jin Chengjiang looked up suddenly and saw his parents standing there through the glass window, his face instinctively showed joy and excitement, but he quickly suppressed it in the next second.
Then, like a little adult, he calmly and quietly got up, pushed his chair back into place, said goodbye to his classmates, bowed to the teacher to say goodbye, took his schoolbag from the teacher, and turned to walk towards the classroom door.
Sang Qian and the other woman were already waiting there. When he came out, Sang Qian immediately squatted down and hugged him.
"Honey, you've worked so hard."
She kissed her son's cheek and reached out to take the schoolbag from his hand.
"No need, Mom, I can carry it myself."
Jin Chengjiang put his backpack on himself.
Jin Changyu praised, "Yes, that's a real man."
"..."
Sang Qian looked at her son, who looked young but acted maturely, and then at the man beside her, who looked mature but acted somewhat childish—
She suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for her son, the future heir of the Jin Group, who was only of kindergarten age but was already being raised as a man by his father.
The family of three walked out of the school gate hand in hand. After getting into the car, Sang Qian magically produced an exquisite cake box and handed it to her son.
"Ta-da! Baby, look, Daddy bought us a teddy bear cake!"
Recently, the mother and son have become fond of the bear-shaped cakes from this dessert shop, and Jin Changyu made a special detour to buy them after get off work.
"Wow, thank you, Dad."
With a look of surprise, little Jin Chengjiang thanked his father on the left and then immediately moved towards his mother on the right.
Her bright eyes were fixed on the cake box, eagerly waiting for Sang Qian to open it.
They are still children, and although they try to act like little adults, their childlike nature is innate.
He was overjoyed to receive such a small surprise.
Sang Qian opened the cake box, inside were two exquisite little bear cakes.
One is a mango bear cake.
My son likes to eat it.
The other one is a blueberry bear cake.
What she loves to eat.
Two foodies, one big and one small, sat side by side, each opening their cake boxes and scooping out a spoonful of cake in unison, both offering their first bite to the man on their left.
"Dad, you eat first."
The two said in unison.
Jin Changyu smiled gently and leaned over to eat what his wife gave him first, then what his son gave him. He reached out and rubbed his son's head, then looked at his wife.
"Thank you, babies."
Then, he sat to the side, smiling as he watched his two babies happily and contentedly eat cake. Every now and then, he would reach out with a tissue to wipe the older baby's lips or the younger baby's face of cream.
"Dad, are we going back to have dinner with Great-Grandma tonight?"
Little Jin Chengjiang tilted his head up and asked his father.
“Yes,” Jin Changyu said. “We’ll stay at Great-Grandma’s tonight, and we’ll set off for fun first thing tomorrow morning.”
Madam Jin went to Fo'an Temple to pray for blessings half a year ago and returned today, so the family of three went back to the old house for dinner and stayed overnight.
I had arranged to go on vacation to a holiday villa in the eastern suburbs with Su Luoluo and her family of three over the weekend. Originally, the two families were supposed to leave together tonight, but because the old lady was coming back, Jin Changyu and the others changed their plans. They will go back to the old house tonight to accompany the old lady, and then set off directly from the old house early tomorrow morning.
Luo Luo and the others will go there first tonight.
Sang Qian winked at her son, "We can play with Zhizhi tomorrow!"
Zhizhi is Su Luoluo's daughter, and she is a little over one year old.
She is also Sang Qian and Jin Changyu's goddaughter.
Because the night before she gave birth, Su Luoluo dreamed of a cute mouse squeaking, so she named her daughter "Zhizhi".
Sang Qian gave birth to a son, and Su Luoluo gave birth to a daughter. The two best friends can be said to have achieved a certain degree of having both a son and a daughter.
*
As the car entered the Jin family compound, Sang Qian saw three people standing on the steps of the gate, craning their necks to look ahead.
Jin's mother and Jin Ningxi stood on either side of Old Madam Jin.
Before the car had even come to a complete stop, the three of them walked over.
Seeing Jin Ningxi come over and open the car door, Sang Qian took her son and let him get out of the car first.
After all, these three personally came out to greet this little darling.
As soon as the polite young Jin Chengjiang got off the bus and stood still, he took the initiative to greet the elders:
"Hello Great-Grandma, Hello Grandma, Hello Aunt."
The clear and tender voice was simply heavenly. The two grandmothers looked at their beloved grandson with eyes full of doting affection and kindness.
The two girls responded and stepped forward to hug him, but they couldn't overtake the youngest and quickest aunt.
"My little darling, you're finally back! Auntie missed you so much! Kisses!"
Jin Ningxi picked up the little guy and showered his cute, rosy face with kisses.
After getting out of the car and calling out to Jin's mother, Sang Qian walked up to the old lady Jin, whom she hadn't seen for half a year, and said, "Grandma."
“Hey, Qianqian.”
Madam Jin smiled and reached out her hand. Sang Qian went over and took the old lady's hand, saying, "You've had a hard time these past few days."
The old lady went there to pray for the whole family's well-being.
"It wasn't hard work at all," said Madam Jin with a smile. "I stayed at the temple for half a year and I'm still in good health."
Seeing her grandson's face contorted from being kissed by his aunt, Jin's mother went up and "snatched" the child away.
"Oh my goodness, look, your auntie has spit all over your face."
She carried her grandson into the house, saying, "Grandma will come in and wipe your face for you."
With her lips still pouting, Jin Ningxi stared wide-eyed at her mother, who was carrying someone into the house.
"Mom, how can you be so uncivilized? Taking someone away is one thing, but why resort to personal attacks?"
She shouted and chased after them inside.
Jin Changyu got out of the car on the other side and walked around to stand next to Old Madam Jin and Sang Qian. He watched the three people go inside, “…”
Sang Qian and the old lady exchanged a glance, then shook their heads and smiled helplessly.
"Grandma, let's go inside," Sang Qian said.
"good."
The three of them then went inside together.
