Ning Xing is nine years old this year. He is a little weak and a head shorter than An Rong of the same age. He is a little ball with nothing round except his face.
Although the little girl looks fair and tender, she actually likes to eat something spicy. When Ning Jingze came back with the KFC meal, the little girl was clinging to the boy, tilting her head back and eating the spicy chicken wings that he fed her.
Tuanzi ate it with a slurp and wiped his mouth, then said sweetly:
"Thank you, brother!"
The little boy's face became even more tense, his eyes sparkled, and he was eager to continue feeding.
"Lanlan, this is..."
Ning Jingze pushed his glasses and walked to his wife, his face full of doubts. The man was gentle and handsome, with a pair of phoenix eyes hidden behind his glasses, and a gentle aura.
"dad!"
The little girl turned around, leaned on the man's legs, and stared at the bag of fragrant KFC chicken.
Ning Jingze handed the food to his son with a smile, and was taken by his wife to meet An Zhaoming and Shen Ying.
Little Tuanzi happily held the delicious food and turned around to find his brother to share the food, but he saw the little boy coming up to Ning Jingze with his eyes shining.
"Hello, Teacher Ning!"
The little boy was at a loss. Behind him, the young man leaned over slightly and took out the bag of food from his arms.
The little dumpling's attention was instantly diverted. He stared at the food with his round almond-shaped eyes, then shifted his gaze upwards and tilted his head back, then turned around and hugged the boy eagerly.
Really clinging to someone's thighs.
Lu Tianchen looked down at the little ball, and saw four adults standing nearby chatting. The little boy also moved over excitedly. The bench was empty, so he walked over with the food and sat on the chair.
The little dumpling staggered behind the boy, climbed onto the chair, and continued to stare eagerly.
"Brother Shen, chicken wings!"
Seeing that the boy didn't move for a long time, the little dumpling swallowed his saliva, didn't fight for it, and just looked at the boy with his light brown almond eyes, obediently.
Lu Tianchen moved his fingers and opened the bag.
"So you're from the primary school affiliated to Nangong University. No wonder you know me."
Ning Jingze was a little surprised at first that he was recognized, but when he learned the school the little boy from the An family went to, he suddenly realized.
Nangong University is one of the best universities in Tangcheng, and the affiliated middle school and elementary school are undoubtedly the best in the city. He was recruited by the affiliated middle school to be a math teacher this year. The affiliated middle school is next to the elementary school, so the little boy probably saw him.
The little boy nodded seriously, then turned to look at An Zhaoming.
"Dad, I want to learn from Teacher Ning!"
It means "follow", not "ask him to be a tutor".
How could An Zhaoming not hear the difference? He realized that Teacher Ning was the best teacher his son loved, and he became even more enthusiastic.
After hearing that the father and son wanted to hire him as a tutor, Ning Jingze did not reject it. Although he was well paid at school, no one would complain about having too much money.
But today everyone brought their children to play, so there was no time for in-depth communication, so Ning Jingze suggested that they talk in detail another day.
An Rong was very happy, and An Zhaoming was even happier. Coming to the amusement park, he could fulfill two promises at once. It was rare to meet a teacher that his son liked so much.
After they discussed it, they turned around and saw Ning Xing and Lu Tianchen sitting side by side on the bench. The little boy was chewing chicken wings, his cheeks puffed up, and he was still talking to the boy excitedly.
The boy listened patiently, reaching out to wipe the little boy's mouth from time to time, without a trace of disgust, and his expression was even somewhat gentle.
At least An Rong, who had been with Lu Tianchen for a few days, did not receive any such feeding and care.
Seeing this scene, Shen Ying's heart moved and she pulled Gu Lan.
"Teacher Gu, can we hire you and Teacher Ning as live-in tutors for this holiday?"
*
Everyone present was stunned, and An Zhaoming looked at his wife in surprise.
The more Chen Ying thought about it, the more she felt it was feasible. She hugged An Rong, whose eyes were shining, and said to the Ning couple seriously:
"This summer, I hope you two can live in our home, give my two children some guidance on their studies, and spend time with them."
"To be honest, my husband and I are both very busy with work. This summer vacation is a critical period for our careers, so we don't have much time to spend with our children. In addition to Rongrong, there is also Tianchen, who is about to enter the first grade of high school."
"We have a nanny at home who cleans the room and cooks, but she's not here the rest of the time. We're also worried that our two children will be lonely at home."
"If possible, I hope your family of three can stay here during the summer vacation, help us accompany these two children, and guide their studies."
"As for your salaries, I will definitely not treat you two unfairly!"
Chen Ying said this very sincerely. She really thinks that the Ning couple is good. Ning Jingze is a math teacher at the affiliated middle school. He is knowledgeable and humorous. Gu Lan is an art teacher at the elementary school. She has aesthetic taste and is good at dealing with people. And the little dumpling they raised is even more adorable and innocent.
All these factors combined already give a high score, and there is a bonus point...
The little boy's eyes lit up when he heard his mother's words.
"My little brother is going to live with us? That's great! I can take him out to play!"
The salary and benefits mentioned by Chen Ying were not as good as An Rong's words, which made the Ning couple tempted.
Although they had only known each other for a short time, they could tell that the An family was well-off and willing to spend money on their children, so they could definitely afford the salary of a live-in teacher - they wouldn't say they were being made teachers but actually be used as nannies. Of course, the couple were willing to do this part-time job that offered both dignity and money.
And most importantly, the little boy from the An family is easy to get along with, and both he and the other boy are very friendly to their own children.
Their kid is good in every way except that he is a little introverted.
Although the kid called him "brother" sweetly just now, in fact, he didn't mean it very much. This little guy has had few close playmates since he was a child. He prefers to do handicrafts at home rather than go out to play. The Ning family couple does not discriminate against the kid's hobbies, but they also hope that he can make more friends.
Gu Lan and Ning Jingze looked at each other, and even though they were moved, they were still a little hesitant.
"It's a bit too much of a bother to stay home. Otherwise, when Jingze goes to give a lecture, he can take Xingxing with him..."
"That would be troublesome!"
Seeing what impressed the Ning family, Shen Ying pulled An Rong and Lu Tianchen to her side and promoted the two children frantically.
"We feel bad for Rongrong, and you must feel bad for Xingxing too. It's not good for you not to be with your child during such a long summer vacation. It would be better for the two children to live together, so that both our families can feel at ease!"
An Zhaoming raised his eyebrows. He realized that finding a live-in tutor for his son was a small matter. What really moved his wife was that little dumpling.
But he also liked Xiaotuanzi very much, so he had no dissatisfaction with his wife's decision, and even joined in lobbying the Ning couple.
How could a simple teacher be a match for a businessman? After a while, the Ning couple was almost convinced. Shen Ying struck while the iron was hot and simply pulled Ning Jingze and An Rong to sit down and let them interview on the spot.
Little Dumpling looked at his father, then at his mother, and when he looked across, his eyes met Lu Tianchen's.
The boy's pair of dark and deep eyes met the little girl's round almond eyes.
"Mom, I still want to go go-karting."
Gu Lan looked at her husband who was entangled by An Rong, and smiled and took her son's hand.
"Okay, mom will go play with you."
Lu Tianchen, who was sitting quietly beside him, stood up and said calmly:
"I'll accompany my brother, too."
Chen Ying turned her head, felt relieved about Lu Tianchen, and waved her hand.
"Go ahead and take good care of your brother!"
The boy nodded slightly and followed Gu Lan and Xiaotuanzi. It was almost closing time, but go-karts were still the favorite of children, and there were still many adults and children queuing up.
Lu Tianchen glanced at the team, took his, An Zhaoming's and An Rong's tickets, and led Gu Lan and Xiaotuanzi through the VIP channel.
Lu Tianchen took Tuanzi in, leaned over to fasten Tuanzi's seat belt, and carefully instructed:
"Drive slowly, don't rush, you can run as many laps as you want, just have fun."
He looked up and saw the little thing's almond-shaped eyes sparkling. Feeling the boy's concern, it smiled brilliantly.
"OK!"
The boy curled his lips.
He rarely had anything he particularly liked, but this little dumpling made him inexplicably like it. Especially the way the little dumpling's eyes sparkled, like a proud kitten asking to be petted.
It would be nice if I could have Tuanzi's company this summer...

Finally, the Nings agreed to be live-in teachers at the Ans. A week after the summer vacation began, the Nings packed some luggage and moved into the Ans.
The An family lived in a large villa with several guest rooms, all of which had private bathrooms. The Ning couple and Tuanzi moved into one of the rooms.
At first, the Ning family was a little reserved, but the An family was too enthusiastic. Not to mention that An Zhaoming himself was a well-mannered businessman, Chen Ying had a lot in common with Gu Lan, who was in the same field, and the two families quickly became familiar with each other.
As for the little dumpling Ning Xing, that's even more needless to say. The little thing is well-behaved and quiet, and can eat a plate of melon seeds obediently for an entire afternoon. He is also perfectly grown up to be the cute spot of the An family, including An Rong. He is hugged by everyone and stroked by everyone. It's not an exaggeration to say that he is the group's favorite.
With money and a good living environment, when the An family couple was too busy to take care of An Rong, the Ning family couple took care of An Rong diligently. In addition to the originally agreed mathematics, as long as An Rong was interested and the two of them knew how to learn, and they were sure that the little boy had the spare time to learn, they would teach him.
Ning Jingze himself also likes mathematics, so he chose the path of a mathematics teacher. Unfortunately, his son perfectly inherited his wife's artistic talent and has no interest in mathematics, which makes him very depressed. Now the An family has two children, the older and the younger are extremely sensitive to numbers, which makes Ning Jingze feel like he has found a treasure and he wants to teach them everything he knows.
Lu Tianchen has a plan for his future and will not put too much energy into one thing. An Rong is more free-spirited. He likes mathematics recently and devotes himself to it.
So every day after the An family couple left, An Rong finished his pre-study and started to pester Ning Jingze, who was also happy to teach him, and then they had lunch together. In the afternoon, An Rong went to study other scheduled courses.
When he finally had some free time to play with the cute little brother who moved into his house, An Rong was shocked to find that compared to him, the little guy was more attached to Lu Tianchen.
Although they are of the same age, little Tuanzi always sticks to Lu Tianchen first, wagging his tail and calling him brother sweetly.
An Rong: Who is this little brother here to accompany? !
