With his brothers around him, Xiaobao became energetic again. His bright and clear eyes were always sparkling, and his little mouth kept telling about their experiences of the day.
From being inexplicably looked down upon by the clerk in the clothing store, to the third brother being afraid of heights, the fifth brother being scared to tears by a fake ghost, and the fourth brother making up stories to bargain...
He described the whole process vividly, and Lu Jiayang and the other three added a few words from time to time. Lu Zixiao and Lu Ziyi did not get bored and listened patiently to Xiaobao's story bit by bit, their eyes full of love.
However, Xiaobao did not mention anything about Lu Jiayang's desire to participate in the National Art Student Competition. He felt that it would be better to wait until Lu Jiayang was ready and then talk about it in person.
"By the way, brother, why did the Ferris wheel suddenly break down?" Xiaobao asked curiously after he finished speaking. "If it was so dangerous, tourists wouldn't go on it anymore."
"Perhaps some parts are loose or some functions are damaged," Lu Ziyi said. "Logically speaking, the Ferris wheel was newly built this year, so there shouldn't be any problems with aging parts. It's likely that the quality was not up to standard from the beginning."
"How could it be started so many times despite the quality issues?" Lu Yuxuan asked.
"Why not?" Lu Ziyi said softly, "Even if the house is poorly decorated, it will look no different from a normal house from the outside after it's finished, and it won't collapse in a day or two. But as the wind and rain and the number of people living in it increase, the various internal damages will worsen, and problems may arise at any time."
Xiaobao and Lu Yuxuan stretched out their "oh" tones, with expressions as if they had learned something new.
"Besides that, there's another thing that surprised me." Lu Ziyi looked at Lu Jiaming with a smile, "The fourth child in our family who has always spent money lavishly actually knows how to bargain."
Lu Jiaming coughed lightly and touched his nose embarrassedly. "Well... I just suddenly realized that prices are too high now. It's not easy for my brother to make money, so I learned how to bargain and wanted to save some money."
"Yes, yes, yes," Lu Yuxuan darted out from behind him like a ghost. "You bought clothes for Xiaobao without hesitation, but you had to act like a brother to buy me a pair of shoes. What a hypocrite!"
Lu Jiaming made a click of his tongue and raised his fist to hit him twice, but the latter quickly dodged behind Lu Ziyi.
"It's a good idea, but the reason you made up is too lame." Lu Zixiao glanced at him indifferently, "If I really sold my blood to feed you, I would have been sucked dry by now."
Lu Jiaming laughed and said, "It was my first time bargaining and I had no experience, so I just opened my mouth and started bargaining. The boss didn't believe me at all and almost kicked me out."
"It seems that even the top students don't know everything," Lu Yuxuan said, popping up with a whizzing sound. "If I were to write this, I would definitely be better than you."
"Stop it now," Lu Jiaming said in a bad tone, "You can't even pretend to be dead."
Lu Yuxuan: (▼伖#)
"I'll study it when I get home and make up something more credible next time," Lu Jiaming continued. "When you're out, you create your own identity, don't you?"
Lu Zixiao sighed silently in his heart, but his face remained calm. He said slowly in a charming voice, "Don't force yourself to save money deliberately."
"You are not a spendthrift and never buy things indiscriminately. As for food, clothing, and daily necessities, if you need to buy anything, just tell me directly. I can support you."
"Don't be wronged"
His voice was not loud, but it provided his younger brothers with a cool and comfortable harbor in the dry and hot summer, and everyone felt as if a stream of clear water was flowing through their hearts.
"Don't worry, big brother," Lu Jiayang smiled brightly, "you've never let us suffer any financial grievances. Jiaming's point is the same as riding a bicycle to the bar. Save when you can and spend when you can."
"Yeah," Lu Zixiao smiled softly, "I know."
After him, no one continued to talk about this topic, but they all smiled at each other tacitly, as if to say that there is no need to say more between brothers.
They took the amusement park's bus home, which avoided the problem of having to hail two taxis due to their large group size.
After getting on the bus, Xiaobao sat next to Lu Zixiao. The little guy, who had been busy all day, was now completely relaxed. A strong sense of sleepiness overwhelmed him, so much so that he yawned twice in a row as soon as the bus started. His watery eyes became even moister in an instant, and he was so sleepy that little tears flowed down his face.
Lu Zixiao's slightly cool fingers touched his soft and tender little face, and he gently wiped away the two little tears forced out by sleepiness with his fingertips. Then he stroked his little head and let him lean on him. Finally, he took off his coat and wrapped the little guy up.
"Be good, take a nap, I'll call you when you get off the bus"
His voice was low and gentle, and Xiaobao felt relieved after hearing it. He slept a few times, adjusted himself to a comfortable position, and soon fell asleep.
Lu Zixiao looked at him with an unconcealed doting look for a while, then slowly leaned his back against the back of the chair, turned his head slightly and whispered to Lu Ziyi, "Do you want to go home and cook or eat out?"
"Let's buy something to eat at home." Lu Ziyi's voice was also very low. "They are all very tired."
Only then did Lu Zixiao notice that except for the two of them, the other four people were sleeping in different positions.
He nodded, and just as he turned around, he heard Lu Ziyi say, "Brother, you should take a nap too. I'll watch and call you when we're almost there."
"Aren't you sleepy?" Lu Zixiao asked him subconsciously.
"I'm fine," Lu Ziyi said, "I'll read for a while."
"Okay," Lu Zixiao paused, "Don't be too hasty, take your time."
