"Tsk... You must be here just this once, not every day. What's the point of giving you a gift? Why bother with so many things? You might as well eat them yourself..."
She took a candy from his hand, unwrapped it and put it in her mouth, mumbling, "It's so sweet..."
"Young Master, it won't be so sweet if you eat it..."
After the memories ended, Chao Chao looked at Shen Xingzhou, "Dad, is he a little interesting..."
Shen Xingzhou chuckled and nodded, "It's indeed quite interesting... What's its name?"
"I forgot to ask, but he is very thin and tall, taller than me... Dad, can he go to school?"
"Dad has hired a teacher for the orphanage to teach them elementary school knowledge. If they can pass the entrance exam for middle school, they can go. I have already paid for the tuition..."
Chen Xingzhou smiled calmly: "He just attracted your attention, he is not very special. If he really wants to stand out, he will not remain unknown..."
Chao Chao nodded heavily, "When I see him again, if I still remember him, I will ask his name."
"Um..."
.....
Returning home from Gangcheng, Shen Xingzhou and his son Chao Chao arrived home in the evening.
Fu Xiao and Mu Mu were not at home.
Chao Chao looked at him and asked, "What should we do? Go to the compound?"
Shen Xingzhou pointed to the location of the study room, "Your sister has gone to school, and your mother may not be in the compound, go and call them,"
"I think so,"
Chaochao walked to the study and made a phone call to the compound. Fu Jingshu answered the phone.
"Grandma, grandma, we are back... Is mom here? Oh, no, then where did mom go... She went to the lab again, okay..."
"Your mother will be home after she finishes her work. She still has to cook for Mumu. Wait for her at home."
"Yes, grandma, I brought you a gift. I'll give it to you tomorrow. There are also gifts for grandma, grandpa, and uncle..."
Fu Jingshu smiled kindly, "Okay, then grandma will be waiting at home tomorrow..."
After hanging up the phone, Chao Chao ran out of the study and shouted to Chen Xingzhou: "Dad, Mom went to the laboratory, and my sister went to school and will be back soon."
Shen Xingzhou looked at the time. Mumu’s get out of class was over at half past five, and it was past four o’clock now.
"Dad, are you going to pick up Mom?"
As for Mumu, there was no need to pick her up. Chen Xingzhou assigned her a driver to pick her up and drop her off at school every day.
Shen Xingzhou got up and walked into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and looked around, there were enough dishes.
"Wash the vegetables and start cooking..."
Chao Chao brought the vegetables to the sink, and after washing them, he looked at Shen Xingzhou who was cutting meat, "Dad, it's done."
"Well, can you crack an egg?"
"meeting...."
"What about scrambled eggs?"
"I think so..."
Chaochao stood in front of the stove, but his height was not enough to reach the spatula to flip the pot.
Shen Xingzhou laughed and pulled him back, “Stand behind and learn. You have to cook for your sister when we are not at home next time.”
Chao Chao tilted her head and stared at his steps, but said nonchalantly: "Isn't there Auntie here?"
"What if Auntie is not here? Are you going to starve at home with your sister? Even if you can't prepare a full banquet, you still have to learn how to cook simple home-cooked meals."
"Dad, what you said is not right. We have so many restaurants in our house. If no one is at home, won't I take my sister out to eat? If not, we can go to the compound."
Shen Xingzhou glanced at him from the corner of his eyes, "I told you to learn, so just follow and learn, why are you talking so much nonsense?"
"This is a very reasonable rebuttal. The oil is hot, put the vegetables in quickly..."
Chao Chao put her hands on her hips and took a step back to avoid being splashed.
....
After the soup was stewed, Shen Xingzhou began to stir-fry, and three meat dishes came out of the pot one after another.
After checking the time, he shouted to the living room, "Chao Chao, go to the door to pick up your sister and mother."
“Oh, I see…”
He turned off the TV and ran to the door. After waiting for a while, he saw a car coming. He jumped and waved, "Sister..."
After the car stopped, Fu Xiao and Mu Mu actually got out of the car together.
Chao Chao excitedly ran over and hugged her, "Mom, how did you come back with your sister?"
"Mom is going to pick up my sister. My dear son, you are finally back. Mom has missed you."
As she said this, she bent down and kissed his forehead.
"Hey, I miss my mom too,"
Chao Chao held her hand with his left hand and Mu Mu with his right hand and walked into the house. "Let's go home and open the presents. Sister, I brought you a lot of things."
When I walked into the living room, I smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen. Fu Xiao smiled and said, "Is your dad cooking?"
"Yeah, hey, he's not important, let's go, mom, let's go see the gifts,"
She patted his head and said, "Take your sister with you. I'll go to the kitchen to check."
Looking at Shen Xingzhou who was busy in the kitchen, Fu Xiao walked over and hugged his waist, rubbing her face against him, "Hubby, I miss you so much,"
Shen Xingzhou turned off the gas, turned his head, and gently held her cheek, "I miss you too..."
As the words fell, a kiss fell on her lips.
"Baby, why isn't your aunt at home..."
Fu Xiao hummed and said, "You are not at home, there are only two of us, there is no need to trouble Auntie to cook."
"Thank you for your hard work during this period, baby."
Shen Xingzhou touched her cheek and was about to kiss her again.
Suddenly, Chaochao shouted from outside: "Mom and Dad, is it time to eat? I'm hungry."
Fu Xiao pushed Shen Xingzhou away, “Ah, follow your sister to clean up the table first…”
Shen Xingzhou smiled softly and whispered in her ear: "Tonight..."
"Stop making trouble, serve the food quickly, the children are hungry."
Six dishes and one soup were served.
Chen Xingzhou served a bowl of soup to each of the three of them, and looked at Mumu with a smile, "Mumu, how do you feel about going to school?"
"Dad, I already know what the teacher is talking about, so the class is a bit boring. I was reading my own book during class."
Chao Chao grinned: "Yes, yes, it must be the same when I go to class."
Mumu smiled and said, "My uncle said if it really doesn't work out, he will let us skip a grade and put us in the same class as my brother..."
“No….No no…..No no no….”
Before Chen Xingzhou could speak, Chao Chao beside him shook his head repeatedly. The adults would definitely not let Mu Mu skip a grade by herself, so as an older brother, he must follow.
But he doesn't like being controlled by others, and it happens that Nian Gao is his older brother.
You have the right to discipline your younger brother.
Although Chaochao was not afraid of him, his upbringing did not allow him to act unruly in front of his brother.
"Dad, let's discuss it again...My eldest brother is usually very busy, I'm afraid he can't take care of us,"
Shen Xingzhou ignored his yelling, turned around and smiled as he picked up some food for Fu Xiao.
